Some progress - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I managed to hook up a battery to the 63 C10 and found the starter wasn't disengaging so after a trip to Auto Zone I installed a new starter and cables and got the old girl to roll over. Next I cleaned the points and that seemed to get spark in all the right places. I was anxious to see if it would fire after sitting for 15 years but then I looked in the carb and figured I better clean out the leaves and dead bugs first! As I said in another post the engine is a 283 factory 4 barrel motor from a 57 chevy so I hope it will run. Maybe by the weekend.
