Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Finally go the front end swapped off the step side onto the fleetside.
This will slow production down some so I can get the stepside conversions complete, but still stockpiling parts and inventory.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Also a few pics of the fleetside. Got the front end moved over from the stepside. It will have to come off again, but not until the stepside is mechanically moving again.
All clearance issues seem good, minus exhaust, which I believe we have figured out with the horse shoe mount. Got the alternator bracket back from Captainfab....and great work!!!! Bolted up just fine and the machined areas clear just fine. I will have to make a spacer for the top bracket to the alternator..no biggie. And looks like i'll have to go to a v8 alternator pulley as the I6 pulley is about 1/2" off, but has that spacer built onto the pulley.

Other than the beautiful finish, that alternator bracket could pass for factory. Nice fit.

The chrome will go away in the long run and it'll be painted as I want a stock appearance to the engine. Not worried if the bracket is correct, but it'll be painted like the originals. It just needs to be functional for the alternator.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Sorry about the double pics....just realized I posted some of the new parts for the fleetside on the wrong build. Picked up a factory shroud, 4 way hazards and a deluxe seat donar for the truck. Will convert the seat to a 63 deluxe seat. Shroud fits in nicely.

Thanks TJ. Slowly but surely it'll pull together. Some nice additions to a bare bones truck!

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Thanks Don. I can only take a little credit on the mount. The concept was from the 348/409 guys, I did the work I could on the mount and Captainfab did the rest. But came out exactly as I wanted/needed it.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
The OEM rear bumper brackets came in from a forum member last night. In great shape too, looks like the original paint. They will be nice additions to the truck.
Also got the new parking brake cable as the PO decided it was easier to take bolt cutters to than unbolt from the frame.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
The day/night mirror head arrived last night too. Took around 15min and polished up the stainless steel real nice. The mirror head arm is heavily pitted, so I won't use it, I have another oem arm that is in much better shape. This should help looking out that BBW as the little mirror head doesn't do much for the big glass.
Finally getting the parts room cleaned out some with all the stuff going on the stepside, but now looks like its filling with fleetside parts.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Took the cluster apart to clean, lube and inspect gauges. Just took a dry paintbrush to knock off the dust and a dab of toothpaste to polish up the lens and remove the overspray Will take some minor work to mount this vintage dixco, but I think it looks right at home in there. This will be a nice addition to this build. Will paint the bezel once I solidify color. But I think for an hours work it looks pretty good. The black bezel I've had, just tossed it on since it was already cleaned up.
Old coffee can makes great storage bin for harness and small parts.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Nice stash of parts pimpston65....did you get the two rear end mounts for the overload springs?
Haven't gotten to do anything with the seat yet, but I knew it would be a few months out. I need to order some more material from SMS. I think I have enough vinyl left over to take care of the color. Did you still need the spiral shocks I have? No problem either way, just let me know and I'll get them off this week.
