Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Thank you very much!
Hope to get my painter back this weekend to paint my steering column, ash tray, and glove box so I can button up the dash and possible drive it out of the shop. Currently the truck starts and runs like a new vehicle. HVAC is working, stereo with blue tooth working, wipers working, remote start working, and DD dash and all working. Just need the few things I stated above. He said he could have them painted by the end of the weekend. I did splurged and bought my shocks.

Cool choice on the shocks. I bought similar one for my Dodge and work much better than the one that came with the lift kit. My plan is to use them on my Chevy too.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Small things are taking the longest time... or at least it feels like it.
I was able to get color on the steering column, ash tray and glove box door. I installed the column and had a problem with the neutral safety switch is hitting the brake switch. nothing is easy!!! Also I got the high hump coated inside and out with raptor liner. Now to install the floor shifter bracket. Waiting on the new brake switch, and Lokar shift linkage

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Looks like you managed lots of gut room with the column and that's worth the aggravation for sure...

I built a custom seat frame/mount to lower and move the seat back so hopefully I should have plenty of room. I am waiting on the Lokar shift linkage to come in today and get it installed.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
I was able to get the glove box door mounted. I didn't want it to get damaged since it was painted and buffed out.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Very cool build! I've read posts from it time to time as I noticed this thread come to the top of the page, but I just read the whole thing over the last few days. You'll be glad to have so much of the "fiddly" work like wiring done so that the remainder of the build should go about as fast as you can get the parts ready and you can make time to do the assembly.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Hey Rick thank you for the post as I think I needed that. I have been spending every extra moment I have on all of the fiddle work you mentioned. I have started to tidy up all the wiring and have the dash about finished. I just have to install the glove box.
I was able to finish up the steering column install, transmission linkage, and steering column intermediate shaft. Tonight I’m going to install my high and low tone horn’s.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Doing a few little things like adding a light to my glove box.
I had bought a stock glovebox light assembly awhile back but since I am not using a stock cardboard glove box it would not fit the the old air products plastic glove box that came with the AC system I bought. So I decided to make a connector and install a glovebox light I ordered off eBay It was like 4 bucks and can be added to any glove box. I forgot to take a picture before. Link to light https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F362511152606

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Very nice light solution.
My 1979 C20 has a light, my 1975 Ford F-250 doesn't. Think the F word needs a glove box light. CT |

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Get me your address and I can send you a connector and a couple terminals for it. I happen to have a kit I ordered sometime back that was not what I wanted but it worked great for this light as it didn’t come with a pigtail.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
I am having a few issues with the brakes. the pedal feels a little spongy and goes down farther than I would like. after adjusting the brake pedal and bleeding the system I still have the problem. I even put the rear on stands and took the rear wheels off. I put in gear and tried to stop the rears and had to push way harder then I should. so I figure I have air still trapped in the system. Started to get my stuff ready to bleed them and noticed brake fluid leaking from the rear brake calipers. it is leaking from the center of the piston. the brake calipers are new bought 5 years ago. Maybe the seals dryed up from sitting with no fluid.
I am going to get a rebuild kit for them since they are less than 20 bucks for the pair. (79-85 Cadillac rear calipers) but another set back for me to actually drive the truck. well I don't have a steering wheel yet but still!!! One good thing I received my billet aluminum badges and glove box emblem from Shortie (John) a forum member. they will look great when installed!!! ![]() http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=701118&page=8 (I noticed in the picture the red X is a little bubbly I think that is from the window cleaner I didn't wipe off.)

The emblems look great. I wish I found them before I bought the ones I did

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
I was able to get the new rear calipers rebuilt and adjusted. Now just need to bleed them but need my helper. Hopefully this weekend
So I was able to get the billet specialties pedals installed fit pretty good for universals.

Re: Project 68 k10 LWB..aka "The Hulk"
Awesome truck first c10. I have been in the market for some new shocks for my 71 k10.I have a 6” rough country lift and it rides like a log wagon.I know these trucks ride rough but do you think those shocks you are using would make the ride better.

Thank you for the kind words.... Trucks are trucks put a rough ride stinks.(but your springs are ROUGH Country's hahaha) I contacted bilstien directly as they make shocks with different valving. These are fixed nitrogen charge shocks that can be converted to be adjustable or you can step up a level and get them from bilstien that can be charged to your liking but $$$$. This might help but I would call them as they helped me when I was making my decision. Of course I haven’t driven the truck so I really don’t know how they work or feel. https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/produ...54861479982800 I have the Bilstein B8 5165’s they are valved the same way at all four corners 700 compression and 2550 recoil. They are however a custom length as the ones for our trucks were too long for my application since I have all the custom mods. I have Tuff Country Softrides springs up front and stock k20 springs with ORD shackle flip kit in the rear with the overload and 1 spring removed. Like I said earlier I have not driven the truck yet so I am not sure how they will work together. Let me know what you end up with and I hope I was of some help.
