Ron Hilbert's 1971 Chevy C-10 Pickup Truck Project

Many issues to resolve.


I spent the weekend installing an electric fan, and the front grill. I had several electrical issues to resolve including no brake lights. I worked through them one at a time. The speedometer, amp gauge, temperature gauge (after getting a new sending unit) tachometer but the fuel gauge is not working.

Driving back from the body shop the front brakes kept dragging, so back up on the rack. Nick had to replace the front brake calipers and master cylinder, fuel pump, starter, the transmission didn't shift, the thermostat broke and so on…. It is now purring like a kitten and would pass smog anywhere….

Anyone adjust the headlights?
