Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got most of my parts back from the body shop yesterday so I started assembly. Removed the old bed fender, installed the bed steps, installed gravel shields, and sprayed undercoating on the replacement fender. Also drilled out the carriage bolts a PO used on the bed fenders and installed stock style screws.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the old girl purring today, thanks to my new friend Eddie. We discovered the timing way off, too far advanced. Back to a factory 8 degrees, and she really smoothed out. Then getting the dwell back to 30, and some carb adjustment. Wow what a difference.
Also found that the mufflers are shot, broken inside and rattling loudly... so off to the muffler shop ASAFP. Also reconnected the cig lighter, and the AM radio antenna cable. Guess what, the 50 year old stock AM still works! Got the hood adjusted so it doesn't stick up by the cowl too. So no new hinges needed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yeah ChevyGuy, these radios still work easily. I have the problem of the speaker not being hooked up right by a previous owner.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That primer one I've got on there is temporary. I got the original one repaired and painted, but I'm going to install it after I install the door since the hinge bolts are a pain to access with the fender in place. I was planning on installing the grille at that same time, but I got impatient.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Super happy!! Got new Magnaflow mufflers installed today. The old ones were cheapo's that were blown out. OMG does she sound awesome now!!!
![]() Ran out of time to replace the donut gaskets (manifold bolts are rusted to crap) so I'll go back next week. If any of y'all are in or near Jacksonville FL, I highly recommend Muffler City. Ron is a C10 guy and really knows these trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Safe to say when rubber weather stripping has to be chipped out, it's time to be replaced. Also replaced the wing window felt. Thanks to Brothers truck parts youtube tutorial.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Going to paint the replacement column for my 72 . Took the shifter arm off but couldn’t get the turn signal stalk off have both new. At one time someone put what looks like JB Weld on the stalk and screw I even tried my 3/8ths impact on it no joy. Don’t want to break it since everything works and is the correct red knob flasher. So disassembly is at a stand still any suggestions to remove the screw ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Try a little bit of heat but be careful.

Ordered the bed box for my truck from Mar K today. Wife and I are going to do a day trip next Friday and pick it up at their place in Oklahoma City.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Was thinking maybe heat up cheap Phillips head . I do have a NOS correct turn signal switch but don’t want to use it if I don’t have too

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I suppose you could drill the screw out but it would be tough getting all of it out deep in the threads. You'd still need to heat that JB Weld to release the lever from it's grip though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Buy the dorman turn signal repair kit (49300). When it arrives you can drill out the screw and save the red emergence flasher knob.
