Built me a custom 6 AWG alternator ground cable. Used Lowes primary wire @$0.93/ft and some terminals I had in my junk drawer. Will ground this sucker to the frame and be done with it! -klb

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got an S10 steering wheel (been looking for a long time!) from a salvage yard for dirt cheap and in great shape. Had an 88-92 Chev steering wheel before and this gives me about 1" more of belly room
 I love it. AND, I can see ALL of my gauges without making an effort. SCORE! (yes, I painted the letters and horn logo to match the interior).

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I ordered new trim for my ramp truck this past week. So I decided to see how hard the trim removal would be. It turned out not being bad at all.
The drivers side was gone and only had the 3 screws to get out. I used my saws all on them and the passenger side they came right off. I even saved the wedges for inside the fender for the new trim. I took the trim piece and straightened it best I could. I may end up putting the new trim on my daughter's truck and using her old trim on the ramp truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
SoCoC10 - I’m jealous. Been looking for a set of rally’s for a while now. Keep missing them by a day. Arrrggghh!
Son and a few of his college buddies were in today so I got them to lend me a hand with final bed disassemble. Will pressure wash the rear section and start tearing it apart for new springs, seals, brakes, lines, bushings, u joints, etc. Why do photos posted from my phone always post sideways and how can I fix it? Guess I should just use my laptop. Last edited by 67C10Step; 08-31-2019 at 03:29 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finished up the dash wiring , tested all lights and gauges . Everything works great except wipers , I used my old switch and no wipers. I know the motor works , pre tested . And it’s a AAW wiring harness , so I know that’s good again , tested . So new wiper switch it is.
Then onto engine wiring and lighting up front. |

Painted the kick panels the golden Fawn color the interior will be. Also tore apart the heater controls and cut off everything that wasn’t necessary. Glued the knobs in place then painted it black how 67’ should be. Doing the same idea with the radio since I’m not using it either. I like the idea of more space under the dash plus any weight savings I’m into.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Very soon, hopefully tomorrow, I will be able to show off my new door panels - black vinyl and blue/black houndstooth fabric to match the seat. If it wasn't such a fiasco getting this done, I wouldn't be able to laugh about it - and it will be long remembered as a good idea gone bad. I bought a new set, and the houndstooth pattern was not right - an aqua blue. I couldn't return them, so I ordered the correct cloth from a place in Canby, Oregon. Today I took them in for recovering, and the cost is going to be a little higher than I had hoped. To make matters even worse, they can't remove the fabric from the cards (super glued, you might say), so it is tearing them up. They have to make new door cards for another $100. In the end, I will have $1000.00 door panels, or close to it...

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Replaced Fan switch. Old one would not go to 3 without some work. 2 would not work at all. With new switch, 2 still does not work, but 1 & 3 does. Still need to chase this down.
Changed Ignition module in HEI. Truck would start, idle, then die like someone turned off the key. Module seems to have solved it. Somehow managed to stretch throttle cable. Only pulls about 1/4 with foot to floor. Ordered replacement from Classic Parts.
