Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Got some small stuff done.
Got my rad support almost ready for paint. Had a good helper today as well. He wants to take this truck out...ha. Got some more parts blasted and ready for paint. Got some more parts painted... making some progress, I think.

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
i recommend that you blast those headers and paint them with a few coats of high temp ceramic paint to prevent them from rusting later on.

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Got the overflow tank cleaned up. Found a split in it. Any chance JB Weld may fix this?
Photos attached...

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
It appears I have a leak on my master cylinder. It is where the master bolts to the hydro-boost.
The bolts are tight. There is a slow drip of fluid. Anyone know if there is a gasket or seal between the mating surfaces?

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
I have fixed splits like this many times using a soldering iron with a flat screwdriver shaped tip (I keep an old cheap one just for this). Will weld them right back up. Just use the iron to melt and mend the split. Wiil work on all sorts of plastic parts on these trucks. Hope this helps.

Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion
Slow night, its Monday and rainy and cold here in Lindsay...
Did not really do anything. Painted the other side of my rad support and looked at my grill. When the time comes I will likely go with an all silver grill, and get a decal made for the bowtie. It looks like it has had some awful touch up in the past.
