Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
If she helped with that, maybe she'll have more interest later. Cleaning them is not so fun but you never know what you may find too. Ours had some nasty shag carpet in it and all kinds of blankets and no real treasures unfortunately.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
I found a nos choke pull off on ebay cause I didn't have one. I repaired the heater control. I replaced the escutcheons on the door handles and replaced the arm rests.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
The vacuum brake booster was leaking bad enough it wold kill the motor if you stepped on the brake pedal. So i replaced that , i got a new wrap for the steering wheel and replaced the gas and brake pedal pads. I removed the mirrors that were on it and tried a few options , I don't like any yet.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
I used some orange anodize paint and renewed some faded side markers. Saturday I replaced the painted bumpers with chrome ones.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
Where did you get your tank from? This late spring I tried buying one but all the burb specific ones were not available. Great fun. I'm half tempted to put a F*rd tank in it from my brother's 99 F350 he parted out. It's a 40gal or something.

Booster alone looks to be $120 and booster and master $167 when I punched in my 70 K10.
