Re: 68' Chevy c10
Started on getting the wiring installed. converting to HEI so I'll be running power from the junction block, but still have to buy a new connector for that. also changing to internally regulated alternator. (bye bye voltage regulator). Got rid of the 40+ years of splicing, and put gold plated terminal ends on all wires to the fender block.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Just placed an order with summit for a pair of Hedman elites, mufflers, sway bar bushings, and black powder coated throttle return springs. Maybe I'll have it all by the weekend.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
John,
I am just getting back into building my truck as well and I have a little welding to do. I have a small Lincoln 120V welder. What settings do you recommend for welding sheetmetal?

Thanks for the compliments. I was busy this weekend, painted some small parts, got the transmission in, and fired up the motor!
![]() It sounds really good. I'll post some pics and will try to get a video on here asap. hearing the motor running has me fired up now. ![]()

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Nice detail on the truck, it will be something to be proud of.
What type of paint did you use for the heater box? Looks good!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
On your sm420 is there a pto port on the passenger side? also is there a sensor with two wires on the top of the casing?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
some pics of recent progress. still no video yet... Radiator installed, clutch fork boot on. I need to drill a new hole for the return spring or mount a bracket so it clears the new headers. new air cleaner. and in the process of sealing the shift hump.
