Re: 1979 C10 SWB Build - Off To Hawaii

Nothing crazy this weekend but did pickup a spare tire from a later model truck. Need to figure how I want to mount it so its not just hanging out in the bed sliding around and getting beat by the sun. Going to check out some options out there. Was only $40 and finally have some peace of mind.

Also swapped out one of my rear shocks. When I got it if you flipped it over it would make a sound like there was a loose nut or something inside there. Like a rain stick basically. Amazon made easy work of it and the fresh one is installed.

Finishing wiring up my gauge lighting so that it all works and then next on the list is of needs is an:

1. Alignment
2. New brake master cylinder as mine is starting to leak from sitting I believe.
3. Finding some over the shoulder seatbelts vs just the lap belt
4. Rear View mirror
5. Add a horn setup as mine is missing

From there I'd like to get a roll pan and new steering wheel but no rush on those.

I am going to work on the doors as well. I want to remove that bottom layer of rotted out wood thats there and maybe get some new speakers with covers to clean it all up.

Still on the search for rear leaf springs...
