Thanks Ryan. I think yours is going to be killer.Nice to have the younger generation interested in helping . I have had my granddaughter help a little with the first part of cleaning ours (no pics).

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. :lol:

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.

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. :lol: 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.

Good work right there!

Where did you get the booster?

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Thanks. But I haven't replaced the fuel tank yet.

I got it thru NAPA # NBB 54-73709

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Those marker lights came out nice. Thanks for the tip on what paint to renew them.

X2, nice

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Im pricing parts for my burb, do you recall what you paid for the master cylinder and booster? Both from NAPA?

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I used Duplicolor Metalcast orange anodized, just a couple of light coats is all it takes.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Yes both from NAPA [https://www.napaonline.com/en/search...der&referer=v2 I hope this helps. Prices may vary, M1880 new master and it's available as reman P1880 or reman with the booster 50-3715. I bought a new master and reman booster 54-73709 separate.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

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