Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Very nice!!!
My 68 has most of those options, except mine is 1/2 ton. Mine is a 396/Th400/PS/PB/AC optioned. I bought mine in 1980. Yours looks better right now than mine did back then. Mine needs a complete rebuild. Body, engine, transmission...everything..... Looking forward to work done to yours!!! |

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Now some small desasters:
Under time pressure batterie wrong connected (human error because the kill switch was mounted in the minus line -for me unimaginable. Effect: Smoke in the motor room, Result : 1x new batterie 1 x new regulator= very anoying.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Found out that it is necessary to change the foam too (weared, smelling bad...).
Wondering about the number under the seat:3898335

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Covers from SMS Auto Fabrics, in my opinion they have done a great job.
The foam is bigger, seating is very convinient, sleep now in the car :-).

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Regarding search lights:
Hi Brian, this picture was created during the Herschey event days, indeed I have only one and a 1/2" drill, hard enough. Regarding seats: Yes I have removed all. New on the seat is Seat 12 cm Kaltschaum ( 4,7 " cold foam, polyurethane foam or poly foam) Back rest 4 cm Kaltschaum ( 1,5") All ordered by a local upholsterer, Upholstering tools too, see picture. Regarding CST guy: Phil, thanks, would be all the time also a little bit from you inside and kept in memory. By the way do you have an idea why brown leader was also below the seat?
