Expensive way to mask but I have three rolls that were given to me . 3M welding and spark deflection paper . Nice it has a little adhesive to hold it in place

Mark, it looks like your starter is too far away from the flex plate, if you have a starter shim in there, take it out ........ replace the Bendix as well .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

No shim ,it’s a Powermaster had a good gab when I installed it a few years ago . Think the damage was before my ownership and it got worse over time . I should have inspected the flex plate more thoroughly.

I removed the bed wood to refinish it. My bed wood planks are Birch wood. I finished them many moons ago with polyurethane, that has not held up well. I plan on stripping that off and using an oil instead of a surface coating. I also replace the sending unit because the fuel level float floated away on the last one. I used a plastic float instead of the brass one this time around.

Here’s pics of the front sway bar installed on my 68 C10 last weekend. I used an original C10 bar with CCP mounting brackets and poly bushings.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice thanks for posting my front is done and need to do the back have what I need just haven’t got there yet but this is a motivator

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Yep, understand. Just so you know for the rear bar I installed you will need to drill (6) holes (at least for a 67-72 c10). Good luck👍

Rear bearings and shoes

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice install, what diameter is the rear bar??

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I installed a rear bar many years ago on a long bed truck that already had a front bar. The rear bar really made a difference in steering response and how flat the truck stays in corners. I mean, we're not talking Camaro, but it was a major improvement!

I re-installed my windshield wiper motor with a new washer pump. Kind of a PITA to get the three bolts started, but it all works great. BTW, Rock Auto had the lowest washer pump price by a large margin.

I used cowl-to-motor and shaft seals from GMC Pauls. They are first rate.

And this is a great tool for removing and re-installing the wiper arms. Lisle 65750, Dorman 49023

Threw this together today, it's been a long time coming. The outer has been wall decor the last 7 years. Inner was shot, sanded, shot again and a clear coat, needless to say it's much heavier now. Took longer than I thought of course, nylon clips have to be sanded just right. Anyway, we install it tomorrow. Edit, installed. My assistant, really vise versa;), he's body and paint guy dropped these off today. Tires due "in a month", bumpers due "call back in two weeks", and upholstery & flooring is supposed to call, someday. Other than that done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Grill came out great .

All of the bearings and 2 of the races came today just waiting on the outer races and grease seals . At least there are no Chinese parts going on the truck . USA and Japan

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thanks, I notice the difference. Glad I did it. Here are the details on the bar I installed:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thx Mike, yes I can feel the difference.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nothing actually done to the truck, because it's 30 miles away at my dad's shop for now, but parts boxes are arriving :metal: New master cylinder, soft brake lines, wheel cylinders, brake parts for all the drums, new period correct carburetor has arrived, the rebuilt one that was on it was a pre 68.
Still waiting on the shipment from Cliff's High Performance for the throttle shaft bushing kit and rebuild kit to make the carb as perfect as I can make it. Pic just because

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Uhh oh :lol: I wasn’t happy with the color of the passenger fender and the cowl , I didn’t understand why it was darker than the rest of the truck . When I painted the ammo box a few weeks ago I figured out why . I inadvertently had grabbed the wrong paint I used the 68 Golden anniversary paint . Both cans were open and I just saw gold on the outside . Was a stupid mistake .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thanks, I installed one back in the mid-90's on my 72 C20 that was 7/8" diameter. I been wanting to go to this larger bar. Looks like I will be talking to CPP for sure.

Probably my all-time favorite truck color!

My dad had a gold 67 Impala 2dr hardtop with gold vinyl interior. Probably a different gold, but it was super cool!
