Re: My 1964 C10

Re: My 1964 C10
Jason, great job so far! After talking with you the other night, I remembered I know where there a couple of these old trucks sitting. They are south of Baxter. I don't know if they will sell parts off of them, but I'll gladly show you were they are at. One was a lwb in pretty decent shape.

Re: My 1964 C10
lately i've been working on the bed, drivers side and the front peice. i had to trim off the bottom 6" all around the inside of the box because of rust. i had a local guy bend the sheet metal. i took the hood and right bed side in to my local body shop to get dents pulled out. i got the intake swapped and my new holly put on the 350. yesterday i cut out one of my cab corners and cut off the lower cowls.
A few more pictures |

Re: My 1964 C10
I am pretty happy with it, i brushed it all on and some places on the bottom of the cab kinda bubbled- it looks like i painted over sand blasting sand but i know i had it clean. after 1 coat on the chassis i went around and touched up places were the paint was light and you can clearly see the difference between 1 and 2 coats. the areas with 2 coats are a lot more shiney than where there is only 1 coat so i need to put a second coat over the whole thing. it seems to be pretty tough stuff (I still have some stuck on my skin after 2.5 weeks) i dont know how it would compare to POR 15 because i ve never used it before.
i let some set up in a pop bottle i was painting out of, and after cutting the bottle off the paint is like a plastic. (hope that makes sense). my advice for brushing it is to put on as light of a first coat as you can to prevent runs, and wear gloves and long sleeves to keep the stuff off your skin. |

Re: My 1964 C10
Thanks for the onfo, my local paint place is trying to talk me into it. How shiny is it, think it would clash with flat black on the other areas of a truck?

Re: My 1964 C10
you can kinda see in my pictures that it comes out in a gloss or high gloss finish. but remember you can top coat it with whatever you want from my understanding.

Re: My 1964 C10
Shot some paint for the first time this weekend! it came out pretty well considering my skill level, no runs! i decided to go the base/clear route, because it is going to offer the most protection against weather, rocks, scratches. i used Dupont basecoat/ Nason clearcoat 3 coats color 2 coats clear, i still need to sand and buff the clear.

Re: My 1964 C10

Re: My 1964 C10
this weekend i got the cab painted inside and out. went with the original two tone paint scheme - fawn and ivory. it came out pretty well except for a few runs in the clear on the roof but nothing i can't fix.

Re: My 1964 C10
today i got the "new" clutch put in (was bought in '97 but never installed). dropped the motor in but havent bolted it down yet due to concerns about header installation, put on new carrier bearing, and got my air bags plumbed. my rear bags are slowly leaking right now but i haven't started rechecking fittings yet, maybe tomorrow.
1st pic- motor put in- bags aired out 2nd pic- my cleaned up gauge cluster 3rd pic- bags aired up

Re: My 1964 C10
You may have the same issue i had here IF you are referring to the header and clutch linkage concerns. On mine, the down leg of the clutch pivot arm was hitting the rear header tube. I heated the arm right where it is welded to the tube and bent it inside until it cleared the header. Then i got a 3/8" heim joint and threaded that onto the end of my clutch rod so it would all rotate as it should. So far it appears that it will work perfectly. I will try to get some pics of what i did this weekend for ya. I am running headers for a 73-87 truck.

Re: My 1964 C10
that would be very helpful. i have been wondering about the clutch linkage, the 3 on the tree linkage, and how will they clearance the frame.

Re: My 1964 C10
Monday i got my headers in and installed. both arms on the z bar were hitting header tubes, so i bent the one that hooks to the pedal outwards and the one that connects to the clutch arm I cut off and moved it 7* rearwards this getting the proper clearance.
Tuesday i fabricated most of my exhaust (need to mount the bed to figure out where the tips are going to be mounted) I had to make my own collector flanges because nobody in town had the right ones, and im impatient. the exhaust comes out of the headers then ducks under the frame and outside the frame.
