Re: Project daily drivable 62 C20

Thanks Captain, and to everyone who has offered up positive comments It really helps in maintaining forward momentum.

On Sunday I got the tranny mounted brake drum installed as well as the drive shaft.

Also bled the brakes and got a fairly firm pedal but still has a bit too much travel. Going to adjust the push rod out and adjust the rear brakes to bring in the travel.

Also decided to scrub out the inside of the front fenders and prime and paint them.

And lastly, I put this seat in so my brake bleeding helper would be comfortable. It is out of 2007 Chevy truck and is very nice and has built-in lap and shoulder belts. It's comfy but seems a little too big for the cab. I'm still on the fence about whether to go later buckets or stay with the original bench seat, which is pretty comfortable too.
