Re: Frankentruck

Finally got some daylight after work so that I could do a little work to Frankentruck before the C10 Club GA meet on Saturday.
A couple weekends ago, I went up to Southernparts' place and got the whole tour. His place is a 60-72 c10 haven! Thanks to him, I was able to get a heater control lever to replace the broken one on my truck. New knobs are looking good as well. It's so nice to finally have all 4 knobs there on the dash. Looks more complete.

No, the air lever doesn't even have a cable hooked up to it. Apparently, the previous owner swapped the standard levers for deluxe levers at some point in time. I'm glad he did though, because I have a valve connected to the heat lever. No more grabbing a piping hot, manual heater valve when I forget that it was on and I'm burning up inside the cab during the summer.... Can you tell I've done that multiple times now?

Bath time tomorrow after work and then Saturday morning will be the start of around a 260 mile trip
