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

thanks flips for the info., and help with all the questions i have asked you! i will still be wanting til after winter to do the conversion, since my truck is outside i dont want to start it and then get rained out or snowed on! if you know what i mean, but its just another project i'll be doing later!

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

well when i got off work today my friends dad had just pulled up to drop off the deluxe heater for me, and i got my dual adhesive gun today as well! the deluxe heater center knob got broke on the way here today! i'll be painting my glove box door and the heater panel the same color as i did my gauge cluster, i'll paint the rest of the heater black and silver! so anyways on to the pictures!!

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

well i got pictures of the headers and the glove box i can show you! but i haven't got them in the mail just yet, should be here sometime next week before x-mas, i got tracking numbers for them today!! anyways for those that care heres some pictures!!

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

What headers are they? Ive noticed allot of people are going with the headman headers, just wondering what your were.

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

What type of adhesive is that gun for?

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

parts look great. really glad you got your glass. i love the glove box lid it looks awesome. the adhesive gun is for the panel bond looks just like the one i have you will like the panel bond, its easy and no mess, you dont have to mix anything it mixes itself as it comes out the aplicator tip, just make sure to wipe off any excess before it dries because its some tuff stuff.

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

The back window is not too hard to install. Wrap the glass with the strip and put a rope in the channel. You can tape the rubber in place around the window to hold it. Use glass cleaner as lube and press it up against the hole pulling the rope and opening the weather strip up to grab the window edge. Sometimes tite in the corners, you'll see!!;) If you dont want to buy the lockstrip tool, you can use a screwdriver or small trim tool to open the groove. Just slide it at a roughly 30* angle and press the lock bead in the hole right behind the tool. You will have sore fingers!!:lol: Eventually you will get done......with this , anyway.

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

williamsboys, they are "Hooker Competition Headers Full-Length Painted 1 5/8" Primaries 2452HKR" they sell for about $200 a set but i got them for $99.99 off ebay, they say they were used long enough to break the motor in and then the guy wanted chrome headers!!
captain, the gun is for 200ml 1:1 ratio adhesive cartriges really but with a little mod. to one of the pistons i can use the 3m 2:1 duramix/automix panel adhesive cartriges in it! i started messing with it when i realized it wont work with the 3m duramix/automix panel adhesive!
flips, thanks for the comments, and i wish winter will come and go already so i can but the glass in, lol!! i bought the gasket and the bead lock tool today and new heater control knobs and the center level for a total of $58
protrash, ya i cant wait! does anyone have a how-to video as to installing the rear glass in our trucks? i dont think it will be that hard to do and i dont want to pay some one to do something i can do with a lil time! thanks guys for the comments and checking in on me!!

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

well i drilled the rivet type deals off the back of the heater panel face so i could take it aprt and clean a paint it all, i will drill and tap 6 holes to be able to put it back together! i got the heater panel face painted, the glove box painted, and some more of the heater stuff painted! i'll be taking the rest of the heater apart this week to clean and paint, i'll be buying a new motor and fan blade for it so i know its new! anyways heres some pictures

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

looks good

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

Looking real good there man!
I need to stop working such long hours at work so it is not so drag-ass late when I get home. Right now I dont even look at my rig Mon thru Fri.

LeSigh

Keep the pics coming, especially that heater control assembly please.
Wife said she mangled the one at the junkyard getting our deluxe heater box off before I knew I would want/need it.

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

let me know what kind of pictures your needing and i'll see what i can do for you!! what parts do you have and what parts do you need??

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

thanks Chad,
So far I have the deluxe heater box with the recirc vent and cable for a normal truck that only has the fan on-off switch.
I just want to see how you put yours back together, as I was tossing and turning last night I wondered why a control assembly from some other 60s era General Motors vehicle would not work.

I will ponder this more as I look for updates from ya ;o)

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

I like that Chevrolet script panel on the glove box door, very cool looking trim piece. Good to see you're still going Chad, keep it up! Hopefully I can get back to work on mine soon. :waah:

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

mcmurphy, i'll take pictures when i put it back together, i'm waiting on parts! the center lever was broke, and i'm pondering on butting the black level knobs on or some other kind, billet or something! i'll keep you posted as to what i end up doing!!

fryer, thanks for the comments, the trim piece is plastic and has two broken taps on it, so i'm going to buy another and paint it to match the silver i'm going the trim pieces outside of the truck!!

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

well i started taking the heater box apart, then realized that the part that bolts to the cowl was broke on one side! so i started taking it apart so maybe someone would have it, i would like to just get the part i'm looking for instead of a whole heater box! anyways heres a few pictures of the part i need to fix the heater, i dont want to put it on the truck the way it is! even thou it wouldn't hurt it any, i just want it to look right! second picture right top side you can see it's bent, last picture is of the broken piece, to give you a better picture of why i'm needing to replace this whole piece!!

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

well had no luck going to the salvageyard friday! i did get my headers in friday before we left, will try to install/mock them on the truck today! and maybe get so other stuff done on it today!! anyways merry christmas to all that read this, i'll post more later after i get back from being over there today! going to work on my truck and eat dinner so i'll be there for a while!!

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

ok, while i was mocking the headers up yesterday i realized i need to move the motor back a lil, to the back set of hole on the crossmemeber! the tubes were hitting the lower control arm, and with the motor having a long water pump it would be best if i move the motor back anyways! i also put the grille panel on and the grille just to see it looking like a truck again, and i wanted to see what the heater face panel would look like on the dash so i got pictures of it too! anyways heres some pictures of what i did!!

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

Hey man,
I have a spare heater set up, and took some pics of it for you.
When I was in the garage I could not remember which one you needed, so I am adding a pic of each.
The part I think you want, that I have is for a regular heater core, though you could cut it to the 9.5" deluxe size.
You are welcome to either part, or both, just shoot me a PM with a good mailing address and I will try to get it out in the snail-mail to you this week!

Hope this helps.

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

can you get some more pictures of the second picture you post that would be great, thanks!!

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

Chad love your truck .. been following it for awhile.. Looking good..

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

thanks 57truckguy, i'm making a lil progress here and there! i got my big back window gasket, the lock bead tool, heater control lever, and new heater knobs in yesterday! i'll post picture later of it put back together and show you the back for the panel were i drilled hole for the screws! incase anyone wants to take one apart!! anyways i now have everything i need for the big back window conversion, i got two tubes of the panel adhesive! i'll be filling in the bed seam that runs the length of the bed like 198plus did!

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

here's the pictures i promised! i used #6x3/8 screws to put it back together!

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

Ok that does not look impossible to figure out!
Thanks for the pics, and here are some more for you!!
To make this a "deluxe" all you would have to do is cut out the fresh air hole larger, about 2 or 3 inches and re-drill the heater core mounting holes.
And in pic #4 remove that rusted vent baffle. Then this will bolt(screw) right onto the rest of the heater box you have.

Forgot to mention it is all straight, no dents or dings to it.

Enjoy

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

thanks mcmurphy, i'll take it! i can mod. it to look like mine, lol!! i sent you a pm last night before i went to work with my address!!

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

No problem, I will try to get that in the mail for you tomorrow.
Stopped by the Post Office today and they dont have a flat rate box or padded envelope that is big enough for it.

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

Checking in on your progress. It looks like your moving right along. Did you move the motor back and get your headers in?

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

I have new(old) heater controls for my '66 and want to paint them...now I know how; thanx for the info.:metal:

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

mcmurphy, thanks alot!

alan, i'm going to paint the motor and trans first, i might try to get that done this weekend! then i'll but it in and move it back an install the headers, the exhaust will still be a lil under the frame rail!

protrash, i believe the drill bit i used to drill the holes was a 3/32! the things that look like rivets are not, drill the tips of them off, take it apart! cut off the the things that look like metal dowels, drill the holes, put your screws in! then if you ever want to take it apart you can just unscrew it and paint it!
one more thing the two screws that hold the plate for the light! you'll need #6 1/2" screws and get #6 washers, and between the heater face panel and the light bracket put the washers! that way theres a gap between the plastic piece and the metal piece for the light to shine through, and the two pieces aren't pressed together!

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

Gotcha!!:thumbs: Thanx for the info.

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

Chad that went out in the US Postal for you today, you should have it no later than mid-next week!!

Enjoy!

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

thanks mcmurphy, if you ever need anything let me know, i would like to return the favor! i'll be able to get the heater together once i get a few new parts for it, like a fan blade, fan motor, and new cables, then it will be like new! i'm going to clean and paint they other parts today as long as the weather stays in the 60's for a lil while longer!!

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

Glad to help man.... my good deed for the day ;)

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

hey chad what kind of fan blade do you need. I have one off an orginal 57 heater, motor was shot so I ditched it but kept the blade.. It is in what appears to be very good shape... no dents or dings. 4 bladed and about 8 inches across maybe a little smaller, its in the garage and its 4 in the morning, I look later when I get up if you are interested...or if it would work for you..;):chevy:
