Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Heh, nothing. But I did put a couple of PVC pipe target frames that I assembled to use at our "local" gun range into the back of the truck. They were in the way, in the garage. Our "local" gun range now requires us to buy the frames, because of the cabrona virus. We have enough PVC pipe around to make our own.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Whew ! Glad I'm done with this step!
I installed the after market grille and hung the front bumper. I remember reading some forum posts about this install! I was warned about the sharp edges, loosening up the fenders a tad and some massaging. ![]() Only needed one band-aid ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Looks good, how long it lasts will depend on how much it's driven. I hope it wears of fast because you will enjoy driving it......

That looks great, who did the windshield for you and did he supply the glass?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Since I procrastinated on this windshield, I had called Tahoma Glass to set up my appointment.
Turns out Tahoma Glass, a long time top rated glass shop for all Classic vehicles in my area has closed his doors and retired. However they did answer their phone and recommended a local glass installer, Jakes Glass LLC. Jake has installed many trimmed windshields on C10’s and has his method down a little different than I have seen on some installation videos. Jake supplied the Precision gasket and the Furyuro (sp?) windshield. Him and his assistant had the job done in under 2 hours. I recommend him and his work. ![]() Jake has an Instagram account. Jakes Glass LLC. Ph.# 253-666-2661 Happy 4th! |

I polished the trim myself. Call me cheap and crafty but I used a variable electric speed drill with a locking trigger button. ![]() I put the drill upside down with the trigger in the up position in my bench vice and used the cheapo Harbor Freight cotton buffing wheels. I started by taking some 1000 grit wet finishing sanding paper for taking down any fine scratches/blemishes. The trim is all stainless steel and being careful when polishing is pretty forgiving. Being careful to not bend, keep your hands close together on the section you are polishing and keep moving to avoid heat build up when buffing. Hope this helps everyone out. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Long story short I recently removed a ton of paint off the evaporator housing. 20-25 minutes oven cleaner, followed by 5 hours of patience and lacquer thinner. Ecstatic they're in great shape for just polish. I have a general cleaning to do yet, and they'll see a fiberglass polish I hope to see as the ticket.
More than that the painter took my cab, cowl & hood today, and dropped off this bed and tailgate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Pulled my truck out of the shop and gave her a quick wash. Cleaned up her spot good and then made the leap and took the first step in disc brake conversion. I have all the front steering and suspension removed. All that remains is the upper and lower A arms on both sides. Ran out of gas and called it a day.

I've got my list of items to get, just ordered some Moog cross shaft kits and new from springs from Rockauto. Will get my conversion kit on order in a week or so. Got lots of cleaning to do before it goes back together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Bill I may have missed it but are you lowering it at this time or going back with stock suspension?

Lowered it 4" in the rear and plan on 2-1/2" drop spindles in the front. I did the shock relocate in the rear and adjustable trac bar but wanted to keep front steering and suspension geometry which could use standard length shocks. I didn't want any radical lowering, just enough to make the stance lower and level.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally finished rebuilding seat and recovering. Now the refurbished interior is nearing completion. Just need to finish trimming carpet, install seat belts, door panels, head unit, and steering wheel.
![]() Reclaimed R12 refrigerant so I could disassemble a/c system enough to remove core support for rust repair (battery area) and repaint. Temporarily buttoned a/c system back up so I could evacuate to keep moisture out and re-use filter/drier. Going to change expansion valve while I have it opened up (evaporator flooding issues). No, I am not doing a BMW engine swap! ![]() Last edited by Davidf; 07-06-2020 at 10:51 AM. |
