Re: Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build

I figured out how I'm going to put in a gas filler. I got one from a parts blazer I just got last weekend. Instead of going through the bedside, I'm going to cut it and reverse the direction 180* so the fill opening is in the rear corner of the bed. It'll be out of the way and easy enough to make a sheetmetal cover to go over the hoses and make it look like it was made that way.

I got the new motor and tranny mounts on. The power steering pump brackets have drying paint, so I'll finish that tomorrow. About all that's left for the engine is finding the correct starter bolts, painting the pulleys and getting some better alternator brackets, all of which can be done easily with the engine in the frame.
