Re: Restoring 1980 C10 big ten.

clean, rust treatment, paint. repeat. such is my life these days. Got one leaf pack painted up. Did the rust blast this time and will go back and do rust blast on the other. I just wasn't happy with the spray paint on it.

Also did up the back drive shaft in the two piece system. Punched out the U joints and got some replacements ready to go.

Leaf spring bushings were supposed to be here last week, delayed until the 24th. Lame. Oh well mangled up the shackles trying to get the outer shell for the bushing out this will give me time to get some replacements. I guess with the shackle O being welded shut vs the leafs having some spring due to being open made the difference in getting them out.

Once the bushings and new shackles get here I can throw the rear half of the truck back together, install the new master, bleed the brakes. Then it should be drivable.
