Thanks Rob. I hope to see your old one here in Colorado someday.

I got a new set of shock relocation brackets as well as new shocks, u bolts and an adjustable trac bar. I've had lowering springs and mounting plates since last year. The only thing I'm missing now is a good dose of ambition. And better weather.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

progress looking good!

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Thanks Kev, I been following your thread. Looking good too.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Changed the neutral safety switch today because it is the backup switch as well and the lights quit working or I may not have noticed .

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I have never heard of one doing that. Maybe something broke inside and bound it up. Never fun with the column installed.....

Yep usually the switch goes bad like this one . It's hard to get everything lined up and then get my old fumblin' fingers to start those little bitty screws and the stoplight switch connector is right there in the way. :waah:

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I pulled my tailgate latch lock to send to Leon[LockDoc] so he can set me up with 1 key to fit all my locks. Thanks again Leon. I sent you a PM.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Looks pretty clean. It will be nice to only have to carry one key.... :)

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Thanks all my other trucks ('67, '69, '71s and '72s) that I've had only had 1 key. Now my '68 :metal:

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I took my old steering wheel off Today to try to get restored and fix my turn signal switch 'cause it wouldn't cancel . I only needed springs replaced . I fished out the broken ones from under the switch and replaced them . I put a wheel I had in my stash on for now.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Looks good. Do you know what the wheel is from? I'm looking for a flat one like that for my Blue Dually.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I think it is 88-94 Chevy pickup.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

OK, Thanks.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I got my tailgate lock cylinder back Today . Thanks Leon, I installed it and the ignition cylinder Tonight . Now I can lock my tailgate and start the Burb with one key . I need to take both inner door panels off to get the door locks in and install my new window regulator in the the drivers door. Then I will be able use 1 key for all locks.:metal:

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

so nice I bet!

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

No problem. Your tailgate lock was in pretty nice shape compared to some I've done. It had been worked on before because there were some small parts in it that didn't belong.

LockDoc

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I could tell someone had messed with it. It had some marks on it. Thanks for cleaning them up.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I couldn't get them all out but it looked a little better. No big deal since I had it apart anyway.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

I made a bracket for a second dome light . I saw pictures of one and tried to make it from what I remembered seeing. Maybe a bit different but it is fitting fine. I painted it after taking this pictured.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

oh that's nice!

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

This morning I used a tape to fish the wires to the front dome light , got it connected to the front wires and finished by lunch. Still need to try to get headliner tucked under bows ,but that might take two people.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Stock headliner is a little dingy , hoping to clean it up somehow without any more breakage.

Re: 1968 C10 Suburban
 

Good work! The nice part of making your own parts is not only do you get free shipping but they also come with the good feelings of a job well done! :metal::metal::metal:
