Worse part was some giant bondo overspill to clean up. Didn't find any repairs on the shroud, so must have been from the truck it was pulled from. |

Classic Industries was running a 20% off sale for mother's day, so ordered the turn signal switch that was destroyed in shipping and ordered the new cab mounts. Now I can get the last of the frame prepped under the cab and install it for the last time. Once cab is mounted I can get the auto steering column installed and the steering wheel on.

OK, got the truck moved on to concrete and under shade yesterday so I can get back on it. I have new cab mounts in, so I can lift the cab and finish the frame prep and get it bolted down for the last time and then install the steering column. Ordered a new outer tie rod for the bent one, so the front end should be good minus new brakes and lines.
New parts in: cab mounts turn signal switch and column bearings deluxe steering wheel GMC side window trim 60-61 wide front windshield trim front end rubbers and seals (inner fenders and such) Was real fun moving the truck alone with no brakes or steering down the hill, but I got it done. |

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
x2......and now I have shade and concrete!! Will be a big help, especially when pressure washing. No I don't have to let the dirt dry before I get back under it. And it'll stay dry now too.

Couple of walls and a door and you would have a pretty decent shop there sir!!
Though i am sure that has already crossed your mind :metal: |
Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
That's what the 24x48 3 stall barn on top of the hill will become.

The poles will be the main supports and they have been in since fall/winter so they can settle. They are solid now. Roof up soon and then some concrete down and I can get the walls up. Will be so nice to finally have an enclosed area to work, but the carport is an upgrade from the yard. |

HA! I never stood a chance of getting tween a man and his plans for a BBW Short Fleet! But don't worry, that lil Lightning Sheriff is posted up on gunbroker and teasing and tickling thousands of wallets even as we type back and forth!

Gotcha....I'll keep on the look out for you then. Didn't know you specifically wanted a knee knocker.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Yep. 63 is the birth year. The 64 and the 65 are just temp fillers till I find the right 63.

Rain stalled me for a little last night. But had time to jack up the front of the cab to grind off the last 4 rivots of the bellhousing crossmember. Will get rust converters and paint down on the next 2-3 days and the new cab mounts on. Then I can install the fresh auto steering column. I replaced the bearings, cancel cam switch and wiring. Should be good to go for a few more years.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Also got the 60-61 style fresh air vents ready to install. This will put cable pull vents in....same as the 63 step side. I like them much better, especially when using them while driving.
