Thanks! I just picked up
A new NW C10s sticker at our truck meet

Looking good!

Changing gear oil at 500 miles. Tweaked the cover trying to get it off (was well sealed!) waiting on a new cover to refill it again.

Small progress on Saturday. Had to do an oil change in my daughters car and some other routine maintenance on the rest of the fleet.

Today got the headliner in, wipers, sill plates and the paint divider moulding on.

F I N A L L Y got the windshield installed in my truck. Had a hard time finding anyone to do it due to the age. I finally found someone and they had a guy come out who didn't know what he was doing and bent up my stainless trim. I got some more trim and polished it up. The owner of the company kept calling me and apologizing and promising to make it right but he kept having one calamity after another (not sure they were legit reasons but...). Finally he gets a guy he uses to come out supposedly Friday then Saturday and finally he shows up today and does a great job and is done in less than an hour. Amazing when someone knows what they are doing.

Thanks Jiggers - I didn't think I'd get them for under $150.00. There was one bider that came in early and there were a number of watchers. But I was the only one that popped in near the end and the 1st bider I beat out on my 1st bid. Hoping to get them by Saturday but the seller is on the road and won't get them into the post until Wednesday.

Got some bed rails from To Much Stuff on the way too but those need a little clean up (also bought hardware kit and wood decals off eBay). With the Bumpers and Rails installed, I think the truck will look snappy. Very excited for these add-ons :-)

Painted up some steel wheels, polished and painted some hubcaps to mimic '68 doggy caps, new tires and installed on the truck.

Looking like I’ll have to do the same. I need to start shopping upholsterers.....

[Rich72C10]

Front bumpers received and installed. But they didn’t come with the bottom brace - I don’t think they’ll move.

Edit:
Forgot to add, I had to cut out notches on my shop table at the bottom. My garage door bracket was going to scrape my back bumper. Now after notching my shop table, I have like 1/4 inch between the garage door bracket and the back bumper! I really need a SWB Truck, LOL!

Didn't think to post this 2 weeks ago but my truck got all new tires, Hankook Dynapro HT RH12 LT235/75R15 6 ply load range C. I like them.

Where did you get your 12-bolt cover?

My first attempt at metal work. Bought a Hobart 210 MVP welder, watched lots of Youtube videos and gave it a try. The welder probably paid for itself on the first job. I must say the LMC gas tank filler hole patch was almost spot on.

Nice job. I too have a mvp 210 what settings were you using for that gas cap patch. ?

Figured out why my AC/heater fan wasn't moving any air. A PO had installed the fan upside down.🤦*♂️
It works great now!!👍🏼

Today I'm going to get the reverse lights working.

I used .024 wire and started with it set for 16 gauge which is 3/50. The spots were a little tall so I bumped up the voltage to 4 and slowed the wire speed down to about 47.5. I was only pulling the trigger for about half a second with this setting. It is my understanding that the higher setting allow full penetration quickly and puts less heat into the metal vs a lower setting. I also read that Hobart part # 6ETK3 (702 AWS A5.18) is softer than their ER70S-6 wire so it is easier to grind and planing. I use 75/25 argon/CO2.

These welders come wired DCEN for the sample spool of flux core. I was getting frustrated when I first started using it until I figured out I needed to switch the polarity to DCEP for the solid wire.

I guess I'm slacking here. Back on July 31, I got a new carb for the old 250. It didn't run spot on right out of the box & my schedule has been super tight. Got around to tuning on it last week & took it down the road for a quick spin. I was most pleased. Friday, I got the plates renewed for the year. Wait, did I do some of those steps out of sequence? Lol.

[FL71C10]

Got my drivers side door glass installed along with the door panel. I still have to put in the door fuzzies but I have to trim them a little bit and ran out of gas.

Passenger side next weekend! ??

Didn't do it today but yesterday.Was planning on taking my C10 to our Annual Big Event Car Show yesterday afternoon. Bought my TT2's and new tires in July and had them mounted and balanced and were sitting waiting. Had a few hours to kill before the Show so got my ass in gear went and picked them up at my storage garage and installed them. Glad I did. Before and after pics.
