Re: 1968 C10 Stepside Restoration Project
Pulled all of the parts out of the box, wiped them down with xylene, and then hit them with some Rust Mort. There was a hint of rust even after the sand blasting, so the Rust Mort treatment should keep that from coming back.
The parking brake handle cleaned up great, hit that with self etching primer, then applied the black paint. All-in-all it is looking pretty decent. I needed to get these parts done so I can get things ready to install the steering column...but before that goes in, I need to paint the firewall. I ordered new bushings for the pedal box, so I will have to wait to reassemble the unit. Parts should be in on Tuesday.
