Re: Restoring 1980 C10 big ten.

Nice weather is back so I stripped back down the axle and treated it again for kbs rust blast. Should be warm enough tomorrow to get the thing painted. Now let's try not to goof it up again... .

On another note I finally got all my brake parts, even the really difficult to track down ones.

First the brake bar. Dorman help 21147 three different parts guys couldn't find this in their computer. Thank you google.

Second brake shoe guide - dorman help 13896 similar experience to above.
Both had to be ordered and were not regularly stocked.

Finally the parking brake lever, no after market manufacturer. Again thanks to google and way too much time I was able to get a gm part number 15594178 for the rh lever (lh is different number but I have it still)
Nothing was located in Canada and took two weeks to get here from the USA at the local Chevy dealer. $25 bucks.

Oh well leaf spring bushing next. Remount the rear end. And finally move the box over from the donor... I was thinking of using rust seal on the underside of the box. THOUGHTS?
