Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got my break in fluids ordered last night. So....as long as they come in by Saturday we should be able to fire the engine up.
Have help coming Saturday to bleed the brakes and clutch systems. |

Finally got around to getting some paint on the last valve cover. Will complete the paint detail and fin clean up tonight. I have a small ring around the oil fill cap that will get painted black, same as the other cover. Looking forward to these being done. I have far more hours in prep and polish than they are worth, but the time will be worth it. I think they look great and will be a nice addition.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Will be with open headers. Been lazy and need to crawl under the truck and finish the x-pipe to header install to finish the exhaust. Not that the exhaust will quiet the engine up much.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Flashback!!! Put my headers and exhaust back on about 2 weeks ago, tore it off and put back on again last week cause it didn't suit me. I hate exhaust work!:banghead:
Say a prayer for you tonight! |

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I always liked to break in an engine, first start up with mufflers, just in case the is a noise you can't here with open exhaust. have done it without also lol. I also do not run a thermostat and use just water and have a temp gauge hooked up. you probably know all of this stuff so happy brake-in.
