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

well i haven't been doing much lately! i have been ordering some parts like the painted bumpers, will be getting a bbw panel from clyde65 in the next few weeks, taking alot of measurement for my fender patches and the inner fender braces! i also have been looking into making my hood into a front tilt hood, i got the brackets about two weekends ago when i was in tulsa for dirt cheap! i will be going back to that junkyard in the future, i'm in the middle of buying a camaro rear sway bar with all the bracket with new bushings again for cheap! i did make my gas filler plate its not done but you get the idea! it will be welded to the inside of the bed behind the wheel tub about even with the top of the wheel tub along the seam!! anyways on to the picture right!! i have a flush mount gas cap for it, it sould be nice when i'm done!!

its a flush mount fuel cap from cpp, the gas filler box i made is 4 x 4 x 7.5! the gas cap is 3 in. and i wanted enough room to be able to fit a hose up in it and have room to tighten the clamp!!

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

Cool, I'm trying to picture the final product. I'll be watching.

ok, maybe by sunday i can have the top welded and grounded smooth, cut the hole out and go over to the truck and give you a better idea of how it will look! i remember you saying that you wished you would have had a lip on the side of yours to weld to, so i made themon mine, i think it should work good! i started it a few days ago when i posted in your thread but got side tracked with the kids and lil projects at home! anyways thanks for taking the time and posting!!

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

ok well i got a small update for today! Allan - i got my gas filler plate welded and sprayed a couple coats of self etching primer on it so the cap would stand out some! i will still take a picture of it in the bed so everyone can see where it will mount! was talking with my wife and i'm talking of drilling holes on the side taps of the gas filler to make it unbolt instead of welding it on!!

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

another update for wutnxt - some pictures of my lokar gas pedal, brake pedal, and dimmer switch

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

Looks like that gas filler panel came out nice, I'll be looking forward to seeing it installed.

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

well fryer, i still think i might install it but it will be awhile before its on the road! i still got to get the bbw panel from clyde65 and install it, then theres a few other things i got to do before the cab is done! i have been rethinking of what needs to be done first to get it back on the road and what can be done after its on the road!! atleast your truck is on the road and your driving it! i havn't drove my truck in a lil over 2 yrs. and that bugs me! but if i just keep at it it will get done, i was planning on having it done by the time my lil girl starts school, i thought we had 1.5-2 yrs but no she starts next yr. she'll be 3.5 when school starts next yr. and she'll be going to pre-k, im glad in a way! i would have liked to have drove her to school in the truck but you never know! i could get alot done in the next yr, lol!! anyways thanks for taking the time an posting i'm waiting to see some picture of what you did to your bumper!

lostmy65- the bench seat and the hood scoop im still working on and atleast the bench seat just needs to be cleaned and painted! the hood scoop i haven't done anything about yet, im still trying to figure out how im gonna do it!! my dad want me to make another bench seat with the parts i still have left over so he can have one to! i told him maybe for christmas, or ill give you the one thats done, he was cool with that!!
wutnxt- slow and steady,lol! well atleast the slow parts right!! i was thinking of doing the front fender gap patch but i my have to rethink that one im not to sure it it will work with a 20in. tire! im still thinking about how im gonna do my front tilt hood! i think the hood scoop will be the easy part of that!! anyways thanks for taking the time and posting!

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

well i havent done alot lately with it beening hot! but this last week has been cooler finally in the 80-90* i have been working on my front fender today took a lot of measurements before i cut it! i really didnt have to cut so much but what the h_ll! anyways to the pictures, i got a bag of butt weld clamps from my wifes dad, his a welder and gets me welding stuff everytime we go see them! theres about 20 butt weld clamps in the bag! the other fender is alot worse then this one, ill be using the whole patches on both fenders and i got to weld a 4" piece in the other fender to replace a crack in the wheel well lip! tomorrow i will be cutting the fender brace and start welding these stuff back on! ill post more picture tomorrow!

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

In my 15 years of body work i have never used the butt weld clamps. Thought about it, but never bought any. ;)

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

ya, i didnt buy them either, my father-in-law gave them to me!! i didnt use the butt weld clamps, it was easier to feel the high and low spots when i was welding! one down an one to go! i still got a lil work to do like hammer down the edge with the brace and fold over the wheel lip, and i did make the drain hole bigger, anyways on to the pictures!!

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

Looks like you did a really nice job. :metal:

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

thanks alan that means alot coming from you!! i would feel better if i was were you are at on your truck but it looks like i got another year on mine!! i still got a few big things to buy and have to save up for!!

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

Good job on that bench seat!! The sway bar looks like it was made for an armrest.

Waiting to see the gas tank install as I have been considering this mod as gas fumes are a little obnoxious in summer:lol:.....

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

Does the lower fender patch come with the lower portion of inner brace, or is that your original inner brace cleaned up nice?

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

protrash64- thanks, it will be a lil while before i get ready to install the gas tank, im trying to get the frontend back on! then i will install the gas filler plate in the bed! i'm still trying to figure what the other two plugs go to on the gas tank, that and i need to buy a sending unit for it! i only need to fix my rockers on the cab, but im going to cut out the seam where the firewall and floor meet just to make it look smoother and to not have it rot out later from water getting trapped!

alan- i got wiring harness, windsheild, weatherstripping, bbw glass, panel adhesive, and other odds and ends just to name a few! i like income tax time the wife lets me have 500-1000 to buy what i want besides what i spend through out the year which will pay for some of these things! im going to paint what i can and need to, then i have a cousin that will paint it for me an i know it would look good when done all i got to do is the bodywork, lol! he builds hotrods for a living, and has done paint/body and auto all my life!

lostmy65- no, i had to buy the inner fender bace and the fender patch seperate, then i took measurements of where the bolt hole was at then cut and grind til the new patches fit! then i welded the inner fender brace in and the fender patch! there a guy on youtube that has a 2 part video of cutting the fender brace and patch panel (mobilehotrodrepair) he has some other videos that have helped me learn! plus, i have learned alot of this site!!

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

i took my fender over to where my trucks at and put the fender on just to see how it all would line up and i dont think i did that bad of a job! the door is not lined up good but thats cause i took the door off and didnt line it back up right!! the bottom bolt hole lined up just right and so did the bottom of the fender with the rocker

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

i got my passenger fender cut and you can see what it looked like before i started and you can see the crack in the middle of the wheel well lip

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

well no progress on the passenger fender today went to go get my bbw panel at greyhound from a fellow member 'clyde65', thanks again! and when i got back home my very straight but used painted bumpers i ordered off evilbay a month ago finally came in, i will never buy from that guy again ever!! im going to strip the paint off the bumpers weld bolts in the holes and fill the holes, for a smooth look, then paint them silver on the outside and black on the inside! the bumpers look scratched up but there is no indents just the paint has been scratched off! so anyways on to the pictures!!

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

the four inch speaker holes in the bbw panel will get filled in also! this lil project will have to wait til spring or until i save up for the panel adhesive, the glass and gasket!! i'll do my fender, tomorrow or by this weekend

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

fenders looking great, im glad you got a inner panel for the bbw you will love it, i promise its the best thing i ever did to mine. also love the ideas with the smooth bumpers that will be sweet.

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