Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I am about to mount my aluminium radiator and need some help. I noticed your mount on your rad and am in need of one like that. Mine was for a lower mounted radiator.

Another late night off work, but got a few minutes to work on the hood. Fixed two dents with the hammer and dolly. Have one dent on the driver front corner that was mudded over. A crack to weld on the passenger corner and only 3 pin holes found. So hope to have it done and in primer this weekend. This is a solid hood for what we see around these parts.

Couple more of the hood. The boat actually makes a good work platform as I can raise and lower the frame with the jack. Will have to be moved to spray though.

Weather didn't cooperate this weekend, but I did get the passenger door and trim on the cab done.
Started with the window visor, passenger side mirror arm & mirror, door trim and back cab trim. |

Last pic of door mock up for trim. Upper and side clips are 3/16" and accept nuts on them. The lowers are 1/2" trim clips that push into a 1/4" hole.
Back cab trim takes the 5/8" clips with the foam seal. They are hard to find, or were at least for me. I was only able to find 6 nos clips of ebay. If anyone knows a source, please share. |

And finally the installed pics. I did the same with the back cab install. Tape down, traced the trim, marked where I wanted the mounting holes and drilled. Trim installed.
The back cab trim had a couple of small dings. I worked out what I could, but it may go to a professional restorer down the road to get 100% correct. I have the same issue with the back cab trim for th efleetside. Door seals still have the doors out about 1/2", but they have compressed quite a bit. They were out almost an 1" when I first installed them. Doors closed and the heat picking up has helped a bunch. I think we'll be good in the next week or two on the door gap. |
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looks like the rain has pushed off for a day or two....so should be back on the hood tonight.
Also got the brake push rod fixed this weekend. Was about 3/4" short, so got a 7/16" fine thread bolt 1 1/2" length and cut the head off. Took a 3/8" barrel nut, drilled it out, retapped for 7/16 fine and it put me back in business. Will work on bleeding the clutch mc tonight also. |
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Boy am I jealous of that side trim. If mine wasn't gonna be a DD then heck yeah I'd be doing that. lol Well, maybe I still will cause my truck ain't even restored and I don't like it out in the rain. :lol: Who knows how I'll be when I get that darn thing nice looking. lol

Spent an hour and a half and got half the hood stripped. Found a little more damage to repair, but nothing that I can't handle. Couple more low spots to work out and one dent on the front drivers corner. Little bit of welding and it'll be good as new.
Still a really good donar for these parts and happy to see so much good steel after 52 years. |

Nice stockpile of hoods. I'll be needing to find a better donar for the fleetside or replace the entire snout with the patch panels. Mid-Atlantic region is brutal on sheetmetal. |
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Been watching on FB and here… Diggin the cab trim, especially the piece along the back of the cab that connects the sail panels...:metal:
Did you have that already, or if not where did you score it from???;) |

I think the trim matches pretty good considering its a mixture of several different years. The lines match up nicely. Reminds me of the 1st series apache's that had the cab trim wrap. |

And just off the phone with American Autowire. My forward harness ships out tomorrow for the alterations to the pass side alternator. Also have a new hood harness coming. Part #02667 $45
And ordered new hood sponge seals last week & I still have a set of NOS park lamp lenses stashed away, so hood should be completely new when done. |

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
That cab looks fantastic with all the trim in place. Too bad that rear trim strip didn't stay around longer so there would be more to scrounge through at cheaper prices today.
