1964 C10 SWB fleetside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**TBONE1964** · 11-25-2012, 12:48 PM

Hi all,

My name is Tom from Oxford, MI and the truck is named Clyde. It is a 64 SWB fleet-side with a 292 six and 4 speed trans. I bout it in Creswell, OR and it currently resides in Junction City at my girlfriends place. I don't get much time there but when I do, I am working on detailing the engine compartment. It is a slow process but I have found local places that do sandblasting and powder coating. I also found a place called Graffiti Alley which sells reproduction and aftermarket parts. No plans on a frame off but I want to make it a reall nice driver.

I will keep the post as updated as possible with new pics on the progress.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to some pics of the truck and progress.

Welcome to the forum

Wow, another clean solid looking truck being built.

Is Junction City in Oregon or Michigan?

Junction City is in Oregon. I am from Michigan. It makes it a little difficult to work on it. I do visit there at least once every 2 months and I plan my time well. Currently working on the engine compartment and getting the 292 detailed and looking nice. I will post photos of progress soon.

64C10Fleet · 11-26-2012, 11:26 AM

Wow, looks great!

Welcome to the board! Looks like a nice truck to start with. Seat looks like the original cover, is it in good shape? After the engine bay detailing, what are your plans?

Yes it is the original seat but it is not good on the drivers side. I plan to have it redone. I am not sure if it will be the original or something different. I don't want to go nuts on this truck but you never know. I like the fact that it is fairly solid and has been on the west side of the country all it's life.

I will add chrome grill and bumpers and redo the wood in the bed for sure. The truck is a really good driver and I want to keep it a non PS, non P/B.

Thanks for checking it out

I thought I would add some engine compartment photos. I am in process of polishing the top radiator tank among other things.

Hello all, thought it was time for a little update and I do mean little. I was in Oregon over the Christmas break and worked on the 64 a little. I have just now had the time to update the thread. I swapped the hood with one that came with the truck. I had a problem with it because it had a dip in the middle but it is nicer as far as rust. I also got new bolts for the radiator support fillers and hood latch. I made new battery cables that I routed so they are hidden as much as possible. I also sprayed some Alpine Green on the block to see color. It may not be 100% exact but it is going to be anything but 100% original. I found the paint in the Napa store in Junction City, OR. I could not believe they had it right there on the shelf. I wish I could have done more. I need to get the engine cleaned and preped more as well as the firewall and drivers side inner fender. It is a slow work in progress but I see a big difference in the way it looked last June.

**TBONE1964** · 01-31-2013, 08:16 PM

Thank you for the comments guy's. I have to take this one in baby steps but every time I work on it, it gets better and better. I am praying for 60 + degrees so I can do some more painting. I have a lot of ideas just waiting to be applied.

Stay tuned......
