What up? Any updates on yours? Is the glass back in and out driving it around again? You did it right buying a running truck! Got to drive it before all the upgrades! And now seeing and feeling the difference. Your truck is CLEAN!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

Thanks guys, i got all the glass in and built a raised bed floor. still working on getting the outside green. then just button up some little things. And then i hope to make it out to Dino's get together in Nov.

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build
 

I'd love to see the details on the raised bed. That's on my agenda for december/january for my '61. I want to have 'original' looking bed wood, but need it raised for obvious reasons.

Random question...but where did you order your power brake booster setup?

Just finished reading your build here, very nicely done!!
I had to take some notes, and will be following some of your mods for my rig too.
Thanks for feeding the photo addiction too.

Wife asked me the other day if I was worried about remembering how to put it all back together, and last night while I was catching up on some other builds I showed her some of the more than abundant photos of different stages of assembly and disassembly on this site.
No need to worry, just gotta remember who had that one thread, where they did that thing... you know... that really cool mod or paint or wiring or....

LOL
thanks for sharing anyways!!

Re: 1963 C10 SWB Big Window Build

Been gone awhile, working a lot of hours at my work and helping build some local cars for friends. But my New Years resolution is to get this thing in color and use my new Truck in the background to trailer my 63' down to So-Cal & Pheonix this year for some shows. And drive it around to local shows here.

This bed had 26 holes to weld up from P/O's tie down hooks hidden with bondo.

My new Chevy in the back.

Both lower fenders have small rust holes filled with bondo, I have already patch them since these pictures. Both doors have a few small holes also that i will be welding/patching up soon also.

Beds not done just welded in a inner frame and cut down stock fender wells and installed. sheeted it with some sealed wood but will trim it out with some Bamboo after its painted inside.

I hate body&paint work wish i would of found a clean patina or painted truck to start with, i would be done already....

Well i hope to start moving fast again now so should be posting up more progress pics.

Thanks, Jesse
