MORE MISCELLANEOUS FIXITS (2 OF 2)
* Paint line trim
This was the only trim piece missing on the truck. I got this one from KrazyRay in the Parts Board. It’s a little banged up, but so is the rest of the trim so it fits in just fine.
Just by chance, it came off a truck very similar to mine, a 70 CST C20 White/saddle (2nd pic here - - - >)

* Gas cap
The existing cap seal was cracked, and I could smell gas now and again while driving, particulary after turning a corner. I bought a replacement at NAPA and now I’m good to go.
* Cleaned the taillight lenses, lamps, and housings
The lamps and lenses were filthy so the lights were dim. Everything was nice and bright after cleaning. The DS bed corner is a little whacked so I straightened out the housings and trim on that side as best I could. I’ll replace the DS trim someday. The PS side looks pretty decent.
* Wiper refills
No one keeps these once-ordinary items in stock any more. I had to ask the O’Reilly salesperson to order them for me.
* Spot mirrors
To eliminate blind spots I installed spot mirrors on both exterior rear view mirrors. I had one on hand so I only had to buy one.
Little things like these sure can make a big difference in the operation and looks of the truck.
