Re: 1980 Chevy C10 - Ugly but Functional
Well, a bit of deflating news - took my driveshaft in to be shortened and somehow I had completely missed that it was dented. So, completely new driveshaft is getting built this afternoon and I should be able to pick it up tonight or early next week. $322 out the door instead of $125... but all heavy duty components, no more tapered ends (full 3.5" diameter, old one tapered at the ends)
That said, buttoned up the underhood wiring (just need to put some loom around it, then wrap the starter and main power wires with reflective tape, which I have here,) going to FINALLY install the fuel system this afternoon, even if temporarily just to hear it run. We (like most of the country) have some weather coming in - 2-4" of snow tonight, more Sunday into Monday. Going to be wet and cold working on it, but only a few things left before I can drive it...
Happy Thanksgiving!
