I'm going to paint it the yellow green & ivory that way I wont have to paint the fire wall, it's not yellow but it's close. Hey last winter when I was at Wall-mart a guy asked me if I want to be one of there Santa's? I said no that when I had girls set on my lap I had bad thoughts and he went away quickly. By the way I like old gassers....Vernski

Very Nice, where did she get them?

I've seen some really clever cab rotisseries, but I'm too lazy/impatient to build one, so I did this and primered the inside of the cab:

Hi Clyde she got them from www.stylintrucks.com They are made by Lloyd and were $119.66 w/free shipping...Vernski

[chainsaw]

Started sanding on the body, I guess this means I'll have to paint it for real now. I havent painted any thing since the early 80's and all I have is a showtime hvlp ,going to be interesting if anything.

I finally got around to putting on the front swaybar. If I would have known that it would make that much of a difference I would have put it at the top of the list.

[doublebeetx]

Finally got my gas tank in the rear of my 64 short stepside. Ran out of daylight before I could finish plumbing and hear her run again. But I'm off until Tuesday ! Old Flo will be running before the weekend is done !!

Pulled the vari rate springs and put in some 2 inch drop from American classic, the others had the a** end way too high

[niterider65]

cleaning up the por runs and getting ready for piant ..

[Alan's Classic]

Laid some wood

[Woogeroo]

Alan - nice bed.

I stripped wires and soldered & crimped connections on my '65 c10... 4 or 5 patches or replacements altogether.

I only burned myself twice with the soldering iron!

hah. nothing serious just a 'OW-THATS-HOT!' moment toward then end when I was tired and ready to be done with it.

Wired it up, put old head light switch back in... cleaned up, took a nap, went to the cruise in a way over in Dallas, GA in the truck... took those photos, ate some bbq and then walked around some more.

Then I eased on back to the house.

[budden]

wax on wax off..............then drove it like i stole it

[awbrown]

Well I took ol'blue out for a drive, drove about 30 miles .. Confirmed that the radiator and fan work properly .. I actually looked at a 62 chevy c10 , if anyone is looking for such a project this one has all the lower cab work done... it does need a roof.. but the worst is done... Yeah I know , like I need another project ,as if 2 trucks (3 cars ) etc isnt enough..anyways the engine I put in the truck runs OK,but it does need a bit more oil pressure.. I will worry about that when I get the other truck running and this one goes under the knife...

Put some scallops on it.

[losthope]

Scallops look good i like me some scallops! i also like your masking tape holder

[Clyde65]

Actually this was Saturday...

Clyde needed some new sneakers so I decided to also put the powder coated wheels on there too. I got two tires put on the two PC wheels, polished the trim rings and the center.

Before...






and after

[64shortbox]

I like!!! I plan on installing Rally wheels on my 64 too.

[chevy_man5]

I lightened it up a bit. I don't know how many pounds of bondo were in each fender, but it was A LOT!!

Passenger's side



Drivers side

[SulphuriousSam]

^^^^That's alot of bondo mang!^^^^

[chevy_man5]

It has been on there for the years I have owned the truck, and at least the 2 years my buddy owned it, and it was still somewhat soft in the middle!

Here is a shot of starting to pull it out of the Passengers side.



I ended up resorting to drilling holes in it, then breaking it out, and repeating over and over!!

[SulphuriousSam]

That looks as thick as the plaster walls in my 80 something year old house!

[narx66gmc]

finished the wire harness install - super easy w the Economy kit from Speedway - best $150 ive spent on the old truck.
