Re: 68 C50 Looongbed pickup build

Saturday was tear-down time!

Pull the bumper, then the hood. That was kind of diecy by myself but I made it work. It's really weird, the hood will stand on its butt without leaning it up against anything (forgot to get a picture). Next, remove the fender wells; I was surprised that I only had to cut 3 bolts - minimal carnage. Man that engine bay looks wide open with the fender wells gone! (I admit to a bit of vertigo standing way up there on the fenders). Next came, wiring harness, oil pressure line, clutch, throttle, etc. Nothing exciting there to take pictures of. I will have some work to do on the wiring harness. One of the previous owners had converted to an internal voltage regulator using jumpers in the original harness. I will unwrap it and redo it so that it looks like it came from the factory with an internal regulator. I will also need to replace the resistor wire that ran to the coil with a full size wire.
