Indeed they do.

Went with a friend last night to a town about an hour away, he got a square cab , 1 fender, 2 doors, some fenderwells, and a sliding glass door. (Rear window)

He is also trying to assemble a c10.

While we were there, i asked the old man if he had any center caps. His son's c10 had a decent set , but i understood nobody could touch it. To my suprise however, they called him on the phone and asked if wanted to sell them, he confirmed, the man got off his telephone, and said to me "yea he'll sell them, hes getting new wheels anyways, make an offer, but choose carefully"

In my mind (these days) i figured a set of center caps would be worth 100$, so i assumed i was starting low offering 60$
Lol i was wrong. He says to me "wrong price! Try again!"
I was about to offer more, and he says "thats way too much, how about 25$?"

And so i took them for 25. With the bolts.
Those will go on my c10 to match the beauty rings i put on in place of the ugly hub caps the truck had.

Good to see there are some people that have sense and don’t have it in their heads that Square stuff is gold. Then again that old man might have 2 black eyes and a broken jaw right now because he gave them away

Apparently he also sells 60/70s nova/chevelle parts just as cheap

replaced the electrical tape on the tailgate hinge swivel posts to stop the hopping. After looking at replacement hinges, I think the drivers side post on the tailgate itself is from a different type of vehicle. It's threaded.

Anyway, should be good for another 2 years.

[edit] oh yeh forgot the rear view mirror fell off while driving down the interstate. I'm sure every truck driver was laughing as it was swinging from the wiring. Anyway, fixed that.

More rough stuff- tailpipe hanger.

Noticed it was loose yesterday- OK, I will tighten it .

Hmm - seems to not be tightening.

SNAP!

Did not notice it was double nutted last night.

OK - I have some random bolts - was able to hang it but not with both rubber biscuits- my bolt was too short.



Went to the muffler shop this AM - had an oil change in front of me. Can I wait ? Sure.

Maybe 10 minutes later he comes in and says that is the old style hanger - he pitched the ones he had a while back.

Mmmm Kay - can I get a bolt ?

Sure ! New bilt with Nylock nut and 2 washers.

How much do I owe ya ?

Nada !



So - did I sandwich them right ?

Biscuit on either hanger side.

Steel washers (old) on the outsides.

Finally got my axles in and my bearings replaced / repacked. Also got the new manual lockouts in. Truck had them originally but as with everything, the PO cobbed them up beyond use. They work smooth and perfect. Next up is the rear drums.

I know its old hat to you guys but I never did them....or had to. Plus, I was dropped several times as a child....a couple of those times was accidental.

If only they stayed this way. But at the rate I'm going ....they might.

Thanks Perry. Just feels like one step forward 2-5 back. lol

 

[idahovette]

@Doppleganger That's the same way I feel about Kooper's s10 that I'm working on........Back and forth.. back and forth.....WE WILL PREVAIL!!!!!

 

[Turbo4whl]

...... New Yukon rear axle shafts and bearings. New rear brakes. Whole lotta stuff getting done....... I DO need reminding about stuff. Too much in my basket these days.

Only 490,000 miles? Don't forget to paint the lines down the length of the new axles. That way sometime in the next half a million miles you can check their status.

Took it down to the hardware store to get some washers and twine to throw over dead tree limbs in the backyard. Then a good yank and snap off the dead limbs. Then decide to wash him up a bit and clean the tires. Well, should have known it would rain now. **** I was gonna do more but, got ****** by rain. Tires look better. Lol
