Re: Restoring 1980 C10 big ten.
Next Steps
I have ordered new steering components, wheel bearings, brake hoses, and finally my sheet metal for fixing the cab.
I figure the order of operations will be
- Clean and paint the Control Arms, springs, front steering stuff ect following the same process as the frame.
- Install the new steering components, brake stuff, and mount the wheels
- Get the motor and transmission put back, ensure the drive train is all lined up.
- Paint the cab floor with the rust seal up to the area where the rockers will be cut out.
- Install cab on frame before repairing cab corners and rockers - Cab floor looks good. (thoughts on doing it this way vs repairing while off frame?)
- Get box transferred from donor
- Get front fenders ect. transferred from donor.
All of this is good news on the progress front.
