Re: 72 K30 Build
Tried resetting the combination/prop valve in the truck and that is not an easy task by yourself. Ha, after removing it found that I’d managed to push it all the way the other way from blocking the rear to blocking the front! Just glad we have an easy way (?) to re-bleed the rear brakes, happy frogs are back and always ready to help out.

Re: 72 K30 Build
While waiting on brake parts to arrive had at the AC again, here’s our vacuum and then charged pressures with a 94-degree ambient temp. Yep, that's UV dye on the gauges and I managed to get some in the system also!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Ha, me too Ryan, my norm is usually out riding around in old blue w/o AC!
Time to rebuild these dust shields prior to installing the fenders.

Re: 72 K30 Build
You betcha, going to start hanging sheet metal next!
Decided the first CPP replacement combination valve must have been bad (couldn’t have been my fault!)! Ordered another new valve and this little tool that should guarantee my success, it replaces the safety switch until your satisfied with the bleed. Brake fluid did eat some frame paint off and I’m right back to really, really, poor flow to the rear brakes. Arrrgh! Found that fluid flows from both the rear input and output lines but not through the actual inline proportioning valve. Pulled it back out and removed the prop valve off the new part. Arrrgh! Found the prop valve was full of oil (and? grease?) so I’m thinking my bad should have cleaned it prior to install. On closer inspection found that even cleaning it wouldn’t allow fluid to move like the original. Don’t usually like to modify new stuff but it was obvious it just wasn’t going to work properly in our application. Opened up the bore just a little bit and tada, we have brake fluid to the back of the truck! Yippy Skippy! Ha, after some paint touchup looks exactly like it did in the beginning before all of this! But now our brakes work great and the light on the dash is working correctly. Winning!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Ryan, yes it was but I know it's going to stop on a dime now!
Flatbed update; Good news it’s here, bad news they totally disregarded the final revised signed CM drawing! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=956 We were going to wait for tool boxes until it got here for ease of installation and I'd get to pick the box's, that didn’t happen. The fuel fill is not on the right side as we had specified. It is far enough back that we can make it work, just need to rotate the fuel tank 180 degrees. Expected the tail panel to be treadplate but it came in smooth, I'm ok with that, still looks great. All in all, I think it’s going to be a pretty nice bed for our K30.

Re: 72 K30 Build
That bites! I agree that this is a great looking bed, but you should get what they agreed you were paying for.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Almost sounds to me that all they cared about was selling stock on hand rather than make a revised product for a customer, get a deposit and make him wait until he'll accept what we got kinda deal? Irregardless I'm sure it will look great!

Re: 72 K30 Build
I appreciate your really kind words flashed, thank you!
Thanks $20071k10! We kept all the parts used through this build as either a 72 or 84 Chevrolet/GMC, so it’s an 84 Blazer/Suburban 31-gallon w/large neck. Page’s 16-17 of the build covers the fuel tank mockup here’s a link to part numbers in post #400. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=400 There was an epic fuzzy battle that took place and I’ll say the fuzzy put up a good fight! Window does roll all the way up much better than before and with the door panel installed the interior is 98% done, just four or five very small jobs left (sill plates, etc.). No pics, but a top coat on the inner fenders/wheel wells, bumper brackets etc. did happen.

Re: 72 K30 Build
I agree with swamp rat. You should get what you paid for unless they are going to give you some type of discount.

Re: 72 K30 Build
It does look nice but it does stink you didn't get what you wanted in the end.

Flatbed update; Funny thing is that we haven’t actually paid a deposit and I still haven’t accepted the bed yet as of this morning. Earlier when it first came in our salesman was very eager to transport it to the vendor who’s slated to do the install. With my experience with these guys so far, I told him we appreciated it but didn’t want to move it until I could inspect and verify. A week ago from this last Friday (6/30), that’s when the pics were taken I told him that I wasn’t 100% sure that we’d accept the bed. Still waiting to hear what they are going to do to make it right. Informed the salesman a few days ago that we can make the bed work by reconfiguring our fuel tank, also suggested that we could cut the tool boxes off but I’d need them taken off the total price? Glued on some weather stripping using tape to hold it in place over night, worked like a charm. Time to adjust and build out the doors.

Re: 72 K30 Build
BANG! Not really, took a couple of days but the doors are almost done, need to redo the window sweep and maybe the fuzzy on the right side. The glass channel catches the fuzzy when rolling it up a ¼” from the top. Figured out the mistake for the left side but the right has gotta be reworked a little, everything else is working perfecto. Going to wait to finish that door (door panel, handles, etc.) for another sweep/fuzzy set that’s ordered to arrive, pretty sure it’s going to ruin the current ones to try and remove.

Re: 72 K30 Build
It's looking very nice Brett! Glue on door seals? Sheesh. I wouldn't go back to them since I got my push on ones.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Ryan, you know thinking about it is as far as it got. Had the glue on type that came with our kit so I just used those, we’ll have to try out the push on ones with the C10 project. Seems like you could use the push on style during mockup for door fitment and then remove for paint?
Finally wrapped up most of the head light wiring harness just prior to hanging fenders & the cowl.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Wow, that is coming together very nicely! I know you probably have a list T's to cross but you have to be very close to the finish line now - probably get there before I do

Re: 72 K30 Build
That looks great! Yeah, you could use them for mock up before paint and remove them and reinstall them. That white makes everything look perfect.

Thanks Ryan! The big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich makes a nice contrast to the parts bolted on her. I’d hoped to have the hood on for today’s pics but didn’t quite make it, maybe this one will do! Flatbed update; Resolved our issues over the phone yesterday with the local vendor and CM. The local stores general manager got CM to authorize free tool boxes, that’s about a $600 discount off our bill! Cha-Ching!
