you never said if it worked?

Do yourself a favor. Put the heatshield back on the starter. That'll save you from having to replace it every few years. It originally came with one, but they get rusty and eventually a mechanic or whoever ends up throwing it out, thinking it's not necessary. So what happens? Starters only last a few years because they get heat soaked. Can't tell you how many times I see this problem and everyone thinks it's a bad starter design when it's just missing the heat shield.

Would you consider adding the details of all the products you used?

OK, I ordered a new one because the old one was more like a rag, than a piece of cardboard. The Repair Manual by Chevy simply states in Chapter 8 page 8-2: "Step 2, under Fuel Tank: "Remove tank cover if so equipped". No install-info. They must NOT place a lot of importance on the item. I would think (my old Mechanic mind at work) that the cover is simply to protect the tank from the metal parts of the seat from rubbing against and causing a leak in the tank. So, as long as it is covering the tank, it would make no difference if it is right side up or not.

Good explanation!

You're lucky I bought two Mini starters and neither one came with instructions or installation bolt kit with shields I had to purchase bolts and shim kit separately...

Great video. Thanks for sharing your hard work.👍👍❤

Awesome video very simple and straightforward.

Add Chevy's all my life I never have any trouble with starters ever stop on a cheap starter to put a good starter in there for an AC Delco a regular Chevy starter you won't have no problems with it add 40 to pickup trucks never had a problem with starter ever

I’m about to tackle it. Found your video so I could see what kind of struggle bus it would be. Mine came with a diagram but no real instructions. Thanks bud

Good job. Thank you for sharing

Link or part number for seat cover?

Beautiful truck but you forget to show or mention the important thing. The motor ,a beautiful truck a nice motor go together.

Talks to much and skips the instalation part..

My Drivers side end spring and support spring are broken just like yours. Where can i get replacements? any help would be appreciated...

I just installed the LMC supplied 3 point seat belts in my 71 C10 and am happy with them.

The 1 screw for the armrest on both sides are stripped on mines . It was hell replacing the door locks thru the speaker hole

You convinced me

Hello. Im new to car repairs. What type and size bolt did you use to mount remote selonoid to chasis? Thanks

Taper/no taper doesn't worry me, but different shoulder lengths do, as does the low grade steel. I'd like the cab to stay attached at all times, so... grade 8 or better. I'd rather spot treat the original bolts for rust than put shiny new garbage in as shipped with this bushing kit. They shipped what: grade 5? Imbeciles. I also find poor value in the undersized diameter fender washers - bushings expand a little under compression and the washer serves as a wear point [with a dab of silicone grease hopefully]. An undersized diameter washer will shorten bushing life because higher PSI values are constantly applied. One of the things I like to help preserve bushing bolts [where they sit inside a sleeve] is to coat the shoulder with sp400 [or similar preservative] as the waxy finish it dries to keeps moisture at bay. Lasts a good long time where mechanically protected. I've seen some ugly failures in the past where after many decades in service, the bolt head and nut seemed fine [on account of being painted], but... the shoulder wasted away and finally failed under load.

Does your truck still get heat soak after upgrades?

Great video! Thanks! I have a mini beverage cooler that I bought and it got left subject to renovation dust and I’m sure it just needs cleaned and lubricated.

Do you have any tips for removing the front body mounts under the radiator? Ive replaced the under cab mounts but can't seem to get the front mounts to budge.

U need to ditch that cheap crappy st wheel and get an original period correct steering wheel.

Yep u got that bottom bushing upside down,,I have the same bushing. Kit n there completely different from the original,I had a problem with the core support crush sleeve not fitting right.

I am hating the polyurethane body mounts that I thought were better than the original rubber ones. BIG mistake on my part!!! Ride is terrible and you feel every bump and every noise vibrates throughout the cab. Even the somewhat worn OEM mounts were smoother and more comfortable.

The interior looks good, Looks period correct with some nice upgrades. You did well.

I have a 67 C -10 long bed , Crate engine , 4 bble Elderbrock , dual exhaust . It runs well , but needs love and care . I need to sell it to renovate my old farmhouse . My wife has M S , and her health depends on country living . Text me , and I'll make a deal with you ! Maranatha !

You got bubbles in their floor panels because you shook por 15 up have done that many times works best if you stir it

How to put in tac

Que buen trabajo se pasaron lo mejor congratulechon.saludos desde chile.

You cant deliver enough amps with that bitty wire

That yellow wire is too thin

There is a trigger wire and the 3rd wire is the ballast bypass to put 12v to distributor for cold weather starting.

If you have problems with the stock style starter 2 to 3 starters a year wich for me 210.00 dollars a year high torque min starter so far has went 3 years and still running strong

1:48 I love that your MOM had a gun rack.. think EVERY truck needs a gun rack.. in some form or fashion... ;)

Good looking truck

You've shown me a LOT of what I needed to know for this part of MY project.. THANK YOU!! Much Love!!! I would have liked to have seen how you dealt with the seat springs that were sagging.. to me a picture is worth a 100 words.

5:08 Weird mic noise is static from your nylon shoulder strap.. I'd be willing to bet your cab isn't properly grounded to the frame with grounding straps.

I love it! You've done a BANG up job so far. I've got a 1/2 ton 1972 Chevy truck okra white okra color scheme LWB with tilt telescope column and 3/4 ton overload leaf springs that came as an option making it what's called a HEAVY HALF... it was an old farm truck with saddle tanks and GO FAST A/C that I drove for most of my 25 years active duty... now I'm giving her some love in the form a frame up restoration including a new modern drive line... 5.3L EFI and 4L60 with air. I'm curious though why you didn't relocate the fuel tank when doing your restoration.. you could have maintained the LOOK of a tank in the cab but for safety reasons moved it to the rear between the frame rails.

I'm 99% sure that is being installed upside down

POR15 is a moisture cure urethane. You are correct, you can’t see it....... the stuff promotes corrosion. Best left in the can. The metal prep is a good product. You’re better off using epoxy for adhesion and sealing of marginally prepared surfaces. A surface that is sealed and pinhole free is not going to rust.

I wish my floor & kick panels looked that good...my floor, rockers, kick panels & firewall are all swiss cheese...I'm in for a lot of welding when I start body work...I may replace the whole floor, haven't decided yet...I'd like to save as much original iron as I can, but once it gets past a certain point, they make a full floor replacement, I'm seriously considering it...

Awesome! Another long bed aficionado! That's worth a sub! I'm building a long bed too...I was raised in long beds & love them...nothing sexier than a long pickup truck...my dad bought my 1969 brand new off the lot, my grandfather drove it for years before he gave it back to my dad & now I have it...I drove mine for several years, but I'm now doing a total off the frame job on it now...thanks for not ruining this gorgeous long bed with the short bed conversion...👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🖖🏿😎👍🏿

I also need to cut out some of my lower kick panel on my ‘84. You mentioned that the kick panel was a little “tricky“ due to it going down into some other things. Would you mind elaborating a little on that? Thanks for posting the video!

Great looking seat upon completion.

That looks like it'd be easier to take the seats out to. Oh boy my 71 K5 is going to be fun doing this

Oh crap that's what I used was the polyurethane energy.

Would have liked to see video before the bushings and after the bushings ride. Kudos to the video though. I should have done the same thing to my 71 K5. I'm really anxious to get it on the road again to see what the bushings do. Almost done with the lift

I have to do this exact project in a week or two. It's the last thing needed to finish the restoration of the interior on my 68 GMC C20. Thanks for the great video. Should be a good reference.
