First build 65 c10
Hey everyone. I picked this truck up a few days ago locally and drove it home. ( Around 20km). Everything mechanically is good. The engine was freshly rebuilt its now a 293 v-8.
Questions 1. How do I lift the box out. I have access to a tractor. 2. Were can I get turn signals for front. Mine are sketchy. 3. How to polish chrome. Most of the chrome is is relativity good shape. Whats the best way to restore it without re dipping. I have mothers chrome polish? 4. Were do I get brake pads for it? 5. Were can I get weather striping? And should I remove windows and weather stripping before taking it into the paint shop. Interior is all good and needs only trim and bench but paint is fine and I don't want over spray but need all new weather stripping anyway. Thanks, heres some pictures. |

Re: First build 65 c10
I got my weatherstrip kit local, but there are a few site vendors that offer a great kit as well. I paid $125 for everything to do both doors and the cab seal. I will install everything once I am done with the interior paint.
I have gotten a lot of parts from GMC Paul's for both my '66 and my old '69.
