New bed will not fit on my 68 chassis cab

compumike — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:13:23 GMT

I have a 1968 chassis cab short bed c10 which originally didn�t have a factory installed bed. I have purchased a fleet side bed from a 67 but I am unable to install it because the frame is missing the two bed mounts that should be located near the cab. These were not installed at the factory. Instead it has a steel plate welded to each side of the truck on the fame. I assume this was used for mounting a flat bed or utility box. Does anyone know where I could find original mounting brackets that I could bolt to my frame? I have check brothers, lmctruck, and ebay and can�t find them anywhere.

Bed wood project

CHIPFLYER — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 03:46:49 GMT

Got the new bed floor pretty much wrapped up. New front panel from Mark-K and new oak from Classic parts of America. I think it turned out pretty nice, the medium blue paint went on like glass and although I hate working with wood I am pleased with the stain and man-o-war marine clear.
Little bigger project than I need this time of year but almost finished.

All lights work but the turn signals don't

wrxand280z — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 02:36:15 GMT

All of the lights work and the hazards work but the turn signals do not turn on. I'm not familiar with how the wiring works but I've heard two of two possible issues. One maybe a turning relay (round 2 prong plug) or it could be the switch in the column. Does anyone have any suggestions on which of the plugs at the fuse box is bad or if it may be something different?

I am Sorry

Header question-to do with suspension sorta

72combo — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 05:34:45 GMT

I know that a header question may not belong in this spot but it has to do with my suspension that I have put this here. What type headers should I go with on a 72 chev lowered 2.5 by spindle in the front and 4 inches in back by spring. Would a regular full length pickup header be too low or should I use something else? TY in advance.

69 chevy c10

bagley69us — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:41:19 GMT

we just bought a chevy c10 on thurs were pretty excited about it. its going to be a family project that is going to include my wife son and daughter and my self. my kids are 13 and 12 and are realy pumped about doing this project. the truck is really clean it only has a couple of rust spots on the passenger side of the cab and the rest of the truck is perfect. its probaly the cleanest ive seen in many year of bring around body work. I think thats why we picked this truck hope it keeps the kids intrested and wanting to do more later. *** knows we need young motor head to keep the muscle cars going in the future!!! If any one has any other ideas on how to keep there minds into it let me know.:grin:

Turn signal problem

johnwbrown573 — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:43:07 GMT

The front drivers side turn signal is faint and flashes slow. All of the other turn signals, headlamps, etc work fine. I've replaced all of the bulbs and the fuses are fine. Could it be a grounding problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks, in advance for your help.

Hello all!! I've recently acquired a 67 C-10 that has some personal history. My father bought this truck in the mid 90's as a basket case and took 2 years to put it back together. He modded the steering shift to the floor, new tranny (duh) and dropped in a crated 350. My brother traded him, even up, for a 96 Dodge (boo) and has let the 67 slowly fall apart. I got the truck for a song and want to get this beauty back to the way it should be... Beyond the sentimental value, I love this truck and want to do it right. Since I'm relatively inexperienced with repairs and such, I hope to capitalize on the wealth of information that all of you have.
Let me know when I get to be too much of a pain.

Thanks.
Be safe.
