Re: 1980 Chevy C10 - Ugly but Functional

I've got about 15 miles on the truck now, so its time to go through everything and make sure its all still tight and good. I am getting some weird ticks and clangs from underside - hard to tell if its my exhaust, the parking brake cables/linkages, torque converter bolts, trans crossmember, or what, so I'm going to throw it back up in the air and go through the whole thing.


This weeks list of hope to accomplish;

Needs
Retorque all TC bolts, starter bolts
Adjust exhaust and get some kind of hangers on it
Figure out how I am going to hook up the parking brake with the exhaust tucked up tight
Drill 3rd and 4th bolt hole for the trans crossmember
Trim an unneeded ear off of the 4L80E TC access cover and bolt that on
Hook up the trans cooler
Wire in fans
Connect heater core (looped right now, and the loop has a kink in it)
Wire in brake switch
Hook up oil pressure gauge
Buy and install a fuel gauge


Wants
Clean up old wiring even more (found a ton more phantom wires under the dash)
Paint some surfaces that have 4 or 5 layers of paint or rust.
New floor pans
Lowering springs
