Replaced and bled the clutch master and slave cylinders today after replacing the clutch a couple of weeks ago. Bleeding was a challenge. Bought a mityvac. No go. Finally pulled it all out and bled it on the bench as a unit.

Your dash looks good. If you don't mind, what did you have to pay?

Dash looks nice! Look forward to pics when its installed.

I am torn between doing the DIY repair and repaint or having it wrapped like you did.

the fellow did it for me $175 i removed it and dropped it off, he did the vynal installed the vent part then installed it in the truck for that... the vynal has landau top foam under it so its got a little padding he also smoothed out the many cracks and body filled it

Replaced both front brake lines and the back half of the rear brake line, also all the rubber fuel lines which look like they could of been original. Started reworking my exhaust since the 2wd y pipe won't work with the transfer case and front drive shaft.

Wow, that turned out great! Can’t wait too see it installed. Now as for me, the only thing I got done this week is catch the Flu bug. I have not done 1 thing for about 5 days now, and believe me when I say, I’m bouncing off the wall with boredom.

Dash looks great! If you don't mind, can I ask roughly what it cost to have that done?

65chevysub · 12-13-2019, 04:53 PM

Replaced 2 of my fan belts, got my "new" spare rim repainted as well as the tailgate that came with my truck
