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.

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?

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Well I'm still a novice welder,and I'm sure there are several people on here that could answer your question better. On my miller it has the power dial showing the gauge metal your welding, and I set it to the smallest gauge and speed to whatever your comfortable with. also I'm using flux core wire. hope this helps. Thanks for looking at my build thread. I'll check yours too.:chevy:
