DIY Bros Bagged C10 Truck Build

5 minute(s) of a 20 minute read

 We started by replacing the ignition, the wheel was locked so we started by taking off the wheel.

Pull off the center cap to access the wheel nut, it’s 21mm. Remove clip first with a screwdriver/pliers.

Remove but then use steering wheel puller to pull off wheel.

Pull off plastic cap.

Access the locking plate and remove the Phillips screw. To remove the locking plate you have to push down hard and pull the c-clip. This is possible without a special tool. Reinstalling the plate is pretty much impossible without the tool so you might as well head to the parts store and spend $10.

Remove 3 torx bits that hold the plastic turn signal assembly. The turn signal attaches to the switch with an arm that easily pops out.

Unclip the wires that are wrapped around the turn signal assembly and pull it out so you have access behind it. Remove the brush connector by sliding it out. Now you have access to the ignition barrel lock screw.

Remove the one screw and pull the ignition barrel.

Replace with the new one and reassemble.

Here is the tool for reinstalling the lock plate. Makes it very easy to put the c clip back on. Definitely worth it.

Next was replacing the door locks.

Remove interior door panel, you will have to move the window up and down a lot.

Remove the clip holding the window windup.

Unscrew 4 screw on the lower panel. 

One verically in the handle and unscrew the lock.

Find the lock and where it’s attached, remove the clip holding the extending bar.

Remove large clip, then pull door lock.
