Re: 1972 C10 ... SoCal BBC/TH400
Had a little snow ball affect...
Thought I'd swap out my steering wheel and paint the column quick. That turned into a shot upper bearing. When I pulled the whole column, I found a dry as a bone lower bearing, no shift bushings, and a rag joint that is toast. Next thing you know, this happened and a full rebuild is on the schedule ![]() |

Looking really good so far. I also changed my mind with the paint color about 10 times

So one thing that I've been toying with is that the wheels are too close of a match to not match. Basically I've been toying with the idea of painting the centers to get a greater contrast. Crazy idea?

Re: 1972 C10 ... SoCal BBC/TH400
This is my last part to sand and get into epoxy primer.
Hopefully I'll have a batch of stuff to paint (hood, cowl, fenders, doors, tailgate) and get this truck back together and on the road soon. ![]()

Re: 1972 C10 ... SoCal BBC/TH400

Re: 1972 C10 ... SoCal BBC/TH400
Its gray.
I've been side tracked with some of the honey-do-list chores around the house (replaced the fence, built a pergola, upgraded the side gate, and built some gopher proof planter beds), so I haven't been near the garage for a while. Plan is to finish the paint in July and assembly in early Aug. Hopefully make the maiden voyage before the end of summer! I did take the plunge and painted the wheels... ![]()

Re: 1972 C10 ... SoCal BBC/TH400
I don't want to jinx myself, but I am hoping to drive the truck on its maiden voyage in the next 2-3 days!
No outside full pics, but here it is using up all the parts I've been collecting. ![]() ![]() ![]()
