Re: 1980 Chevy K20 Farm Truck

Some more project work for the weekend!

Rebled my brakes and master cylinder, much better but could still improve. Took it for a test spin.





Did my first bit of rust repair. Started with something easy. Went pretty well! (can also see in pictures above)





Today started with what I thought would be an easy job of relocating my license plate light to a more "permanent" spot (vs. zip tied lol) but ended up completely redoing my taillight wiring harness.. When I last replaced the wiring, I didn't have a proper crimper nor did I use any heat shrink. Things were already starting to corrode..

Here's the relocated license plate light.


Some wiring before shots:

(my "crimps" were so bad I was able to just pull most of the wires out of the butt splice, which was actually convenient because I didn't have to re-strip )





And after!






I ran out of wireloom so I'll have to finish this week at some point.

Also bought some new tires, got two of them this weekend from Fedex. Sneak peak:


They are Toyo Open Country A/T III. I run BFG KO2's on my Silverado so these tires will be new to me, hoping I like them!
