Well that is definely ADD when you polish the inside of a heater >>>:lol::lol::lol:

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

That looks great Chad!
Just sorry it took 2 solid weeks to get down there to you!!

I have to get a new core, or get the inlet/outlet re-braised before I can install it on the truck. Otherwise it is sitting on a shelf done.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Hey i know a guy that tigs on alumium raditors for fun.. Put any good rad shop should be able to rebraise the inlet.. But honestly if it is 50 years old why not just get new.. Only 40 or so online. check here

It would cost about 1/2 that to get it brased and still be 50+ years old..

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Thanks 57truckguy, I will look to see if they have the 9" deluxe core!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Nice to see your making some progress.....it's been awhile since i had a chance to stop by and see how the build was going. I have been up to my neck on my own builds. Looking good by the way......oh and wait till the kids are old enough to use your tools....then watch them all disappear...lol

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

not a real update, just wondering! i'm looking for a chevy fleetside tailgate in really good shape, 198plus had one! and for the right price too! but i didnt have the money at the time! i do now, i put an add in the wanted section but thought i would post it here since some people dont look over there as much as they do here!! any help would be great and pictures would help! i also thought about buying a new one, but i'm wanting to save some money so i can finish my truck!!

i've been really thinking my truck wont be done this year but next year! been adding things up that i need to get it atleast running and to the point that it just needs to be painted and i really dont know right now!! the wife said when we get are tahoe paid off that we can spend more money to get my truck done, but thats not til sept.!! didnt get as much back for income taxes as we thought!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

He must be the one that stopped by my place, and took my gas filler tube. It was there when I took the truck apart, but it aint there now.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Are you needing an original gas filler tube? I have one for a 57. They appear to be similar

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

What day in September?
My wife and my best friend Kelly are on the 20th, and I am on the 9th....

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

mcmurphy, my b-day is sept. 18th.!

small update, seen a craigslist ad for a tailgate called the guy he wants only $50 for it, john (clydes65) lives in the same area(dallas/fort worth,texas), i pm'd john about it and he said he would go look at it for me! i'm hoping everything goes good and john can get the guys hood and i can get the tailgate! i got to look around more on craigslist, a good straight tailgate with only one dent for $50 is a steal!! (IF) i get it i'll post pictures of it!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

good luck on the tailgate,we have our fingers crossed for you here in tn.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

thanks flips, my tailgate aint bad but the pictures of the one in texas looks better! i'm not liking this weather we are having here either, 40-50* or raining on my days off! can't get nothing done outside, i need a carport, anyone have one they want to bring over and set up for me, lol j/k!!

i'm going to take my spare doors apart tomorrow to sell some parts in the wanted section, just a heads up for anyone!! Then i'm going to cut a section out to fix my driver door around the window regulator! anyone have some good advise on taking the vent assembly out without messing it up?? any help would be great on that part!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Still wondering if you need the filler tube..??? I'm assumeing you mean the one for the orginal tank in the cab which I have also , rust free.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Still wondering..

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

57truckguy, i think you might need to send a pm to 66Z71 about the fuel filler tube!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
 

Sorry I though it was you who was in need.
