My 69 project

Added more detailed pictures of my original hidden wiper and also one that I got from my last cl find. Noticed some numbers stamped.

Nobody can say you aren't thorough.

I have to reassemble my wipers , so when you reassemble, can you show the process ?

Next remove heater box cover inside. Here are some pictures of a mess of wires under the dash, but beyond that the cover.

Are you using a turbo 400 tranny? If so, you'll need the kickdown switch which mounts to the gas pedal bracket which is unique for the SuperSport.

Or you can do it manually

Yes I will be putting a th400. It’s in a c10 now and I’m not even sure where that came from yet. I will have to look through some things I have. Thanks for the heads up.

Removed the passenger side kicker panel. Pictures are of a clip that holds the cable for the vent. I found it easier to remove the dog ear end. Still was loads of fun. Wire connects to vent.

You've got the am/fm blue light stereo?

Took down the heater box and removed heater core. Just the drivers side kicker panel to remove and the steering column. Block as much off and blast.

No, but I’ll be on the lookout. Not sure how original I’ll be at that point. I’ve seen some nice repos.

Took out the drivers side kicker panel. It was easier knowing from the passenger side and also my e brake was already removed. Took off clip for cable and removed from vent flap. I also took pictures of a red wire attached to the body. Next steering column.

Almost finished pulling the steering column. Just have to unclip the last connectors. To remove I pulled the screws from the floorboard plate, then I unclipped the connector on side of column. Once unclipped I pulled the two nuts off the underside of dash allowing the column to drop revealing two more connectors. Once unclipped steering column is free.

Watch the after market switches and column parts, I have had bad luck with them. Try to reuse original stuff when you can.

Thanks for the advice. I’m hoping with some inspecting and cleaning things work ok. At the moment I’m working on getting the front part of the body ready for blasting.

Torqued anchor bolt and knuckle bolts. Greased the bearings, seal and installed rotors. Torqued to 12lbft and backed off to install cotter pin.

Nice work again, the hubs look perfect. I torque the castles to 50lbs, then back off while rotating, then back to 10lbs, then back off a full cog on the castle. FYI, the castle cap with the nipple is available through "The Parts Place", that's the only place I've found one that look right and actually fits.

Ok thanks I need some.
