The temp gauge on the motor is a good idea. A friend suggested that to me after I installed a new temp sender in my truck and the dash gauge was pegged after 10 minutes of running. I installed a temp gauge and it turns out my truck was only running a little hot, the sender/gauge wasn't accurate at all.

The powder coating looks beautiful! What would you have charged to powdercoat your frame and all the Porterbuilt parts?
Tony from Norcal

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

To powdercoat this job it would run around $1000-$1200 with blasting and a epoxy powdercoat primer basecoat and a solid color powder topcoat. That would include the rear end and all suspension parts. We also apply a 3 stage phosphate wash and a sealer /rust protector also. ;)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Plus shipping ;) .

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

That is an insane deal right there. There isn't a shop around here that I know of that does that level of detail for powder. Most shops just blast, phosphate wash, then coat. Maybe a double coat, but not a primer/top like that.

I wish you were closer.

Jimmy,


These are the fun jobs... I learned many years ago not to over charge people.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Looking for some new vintage tin.... 1960-1966 GMC can be a long box or a step side. Must be a GMC prefer 64-66 vintage with custom trim. Basket cases welcome. May build a " GMC Cameo" if I find the right donor truck.. ;);)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Awesome work guys. Wish we were closer, I know who'd be doin all my coating.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Can't wait to see that one! And it looks like a 66 by the square GMC letters in the grille.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Yes Tony,


There is a little problem with the year ... title says 1965 the guy I bought it from says it is a 1966 ?

Dino... yes I am addicted .... Maybe I should just send this one out to Burbank , CA and let it be "DELMOized" ... maybe It would get done then ?

We are swamped here with powder coat work and have a huge project going to Detroit for the Ridler in 2012 .... so project " NO PAINT" has kinda been put aside for awhile....

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Hey now... don't be stealing all our trucks and taking them up north. :D

Nice find there Kart!

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

According to my LMC catalogue if your truck was made in Pontiac the VIN decodes like this:
if it's between F1001 - F20000 it's a 64
if it's between F20001 - F40000 it's a 65
if it's F40001 and up it's a 66

If it was made in Oakland or Freemont it decodes like this:
if it's between F1001 - F7000 w/o I6 or F1001 - F4000 w/I6 it's a 64
if it's between F7001 - F12000 w/oI6 or F4001 and up w/I6 it's a 65
if it's F12001 and up it's a 66
I'm guessing that since it's a shortbed it's a 1/2 ton 2WD. If so the VIN should start with 1001, 10 = 1/2 ton and 01 = short wheelbase (If the VIN starts with an "I" it was an I6 truck), followed by a letter designating the manufacturing plant. P = Pontiac, C or H = Oakland and Z = Freemont. After that should be the "F" (indicating 64-66) followed by the build number and an A or B for the GVW rating. Hope that helps.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

GMC's are not trimmed like the chevrolets and the parts are a lot harder to come by.......trust me I know. I am currently looking for custom trim for mine and only want a set of letters for the cab sail area and cannot find them. the side trim is a simple 1 piece of chrome and it can be purchased from LMC......gauges, dash bezels, steering wheels, hubcaps are all different.

another rare option for a gmc which was not available for chevys was bucket seat with a center jump/armrest option.....I'll go back and look, find the links and put them in this post in a little while..
:gmc2:

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

here is a picture of a 65 gmc with the correct main side trim and the custom letters on the sail area, but the chrome detail around the door window area is not there.....

Here is my stock dash on my 66 gmc but the chrome is not stock, it was originally silver with a black accent but the sun tach and the sun bat o meter and all other gauges are correct (but I added the sun items.)

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

gmc vin# 11001PF35106A should the first didget be the letter I ?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

I really like that scripted Custom on the side of the cab over the sail panel the chevys got.
To my eye it is more subtle and classy.

Any idea where I can get it?

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

Yeah, it's probably an I not a 1. Sounds like it's a 65 with 66 grille and/or letters.

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

if it is an "i" then it should have an inline 6, and there is usually a little space beteween the i and the 1
66's were released in late 65, so it is possible that it is a 66 bought and titled in 65...
there was onother guy here once that had the opposite problem, his was titled as a 67.. all probably depends on how the state/county were titling in those years...

Re: Extreme Powder Coating '65 C-10 Shop Truck
 

When I went to the local DMV they said a "I" could not be in the first position so they changed it on the title to a 1......???Kieth
