Today I did a few things. 1. Mounted the tailgate latch and rods inside the gate. Double checked things, added a little rubber strip on the backside of the gate to stop rubbing on the straps. SLOWLY close it up, and click! It closes beautifully with nary a rattle or shift. Very pleased with its operation.
2. Continued and, I believe, finished up the firewall insulation and rubber install. Drilled holes for the AC unit, throttle cable, pedal mount, etc. Sprayed some adhesive down and laid it in. It looks quite decent. Perfect? No, but it’s up under the dash and I have more things to install and thus hide the imperfections!
3. Assembled and installed the 2 AC vents in the dash. What fun!
4. Installed and retweaked the travel of the throttle pedal. Full travel achieved and in a comfortable position too.
5. My kids wanted to play trucks in the C10 cab as I had it out on the pad in the sunshine. Yep, yep!
