Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration

We got the cowl, antenna and wipers on over the weekend. The transmission was painted black and installed, and the antenna wire got routed. We didn't get the distributor 180 degrees off this time...but we did get the the wiper transmission 180 off. Luckily we checked it before the wipers went on...but unfortunately we didn't check it until the cowl with the hood to cowl seal was fully installed. Practice makes perfect as they say. Another thing I'll get to do over is the AC vacuum reservoir canister. I didn't notice it until I watched the first start video, but we dinged it fitting the hood. Of course I blame Classic Auto Air...we sent a box/bracket/canister that came off this cab. Not sure what I got back-but it didn't quite clear. Fortunately I think Roger Koop is going to be able to hook me up with a replacement. We had a bit of a weep at the oil line connection to the gauge. Tonight I trimmed the line and replaced the nut and ferrule-hopefully that sorts it...and Eric got the splash guards installed. The goal is to be on the road this weekend.
