Re: dantimdad's 66c10 budget resto mod

Haven't updated this in a while and should have.

I have located all the rust. There is way more than I originally noticed!

But, I have made some progress.

I plugged the heater ports, bled the brakes and drove to my buddy's shop.

I also picked up an electric fan that I will mount tomorrow.

The big news is that the truck ran incredibly well. In fifth gear you barely have to touch to gas and you are at 70. I kept catching myself in a 50 zone and had to slow down.

The temp stayed right on 180 and the oil pressure is good.

I can't wait to get all the patch panels in so I can take it all apart for body work and paint.
