Well I didn’t know Fedex would deliver parts on Sunday but, I wasn’t going to complain when they showed up with my engine mounts! Got the engine in Sunday and pretty much have the wiring completed other than lights.
Got the grill pulled off and the headlights out. Start body work on the front end then get it bolted up. Getting the engine in was a big milestone! Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
Looks great J! That's a big step. Did you like the POL motor mounts?
I'll reiterate what notsolo said...do everything you can in the engine bay you can before you start bolting fenders and the front end back on. Much easier to reach everything now with nothing in the way. |

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
Welcome back J...I was wondering what happened to you! After you lay the tape down are you going back and pressing it down with a bondo squeegee or a credit card or your fingernail or anything? I always make sure I press down firmly before I paint. What 3M tape are you using? I think I use the green 3m tape for lines like that.

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
I use 3m fine line tape 3/8" then mask with blue tape and paper....Front end looks good....maybe some gold lettering, for Idaho.

Thanks guys. Yes I am using the green tape, I believe they call it fine line tape. I have been pushing it down but haven’t used a tool. I guess thinking back I was just pushing it down with my hands. I will try using a credit card. Thanks for the advice guys!
As far as the busy goes, I have been building a retaining wall around my so called daylight basement. Here is a pic of the hole I had to dig! Just got the footing poured yesterday. Next is the wall. Thanks again guys, love the support and advice. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
On your rad support where it's painted white can I suggest you put some flat or satin black just behind the grill like they do from the factory? I find it doesn't look good when you see color behind the grill. Keep up the good work!

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
J...Just read your build thread and first off hope the Covid has passed and all is well.
Your truck is looking awesome, what makes it even more special is that is a family truck which is really cool. Im looking forward to watching the rest of your build.

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
Looking good! I am almost to that point. I got a "new" radiator support from John. I blasted it this weekend and painted it...now I need to install it if the rain will stop!

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
Thank you! My aunt who I have a great relationship with doesn't know I am fixing this truck up. Grandpa being her dad, I can't wait to surprise her with it the next time she comes to town. I hope to have it finished before then. I know I will get a teardrop or two! I know it will mean a lot to her.
I actually led grandpa's funeral procession to the cemetery with this truck. I know that might sound pretty redneck, but it meant a lot to the close family.

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
Okay, I have seen some different posts on here about front fenders.... I ordered some because mine are shot. All I can say is wow! If a product sucks this bad you should do something to fix the issue! I am at a loss. Triplus absolutely sucks! They aren’t even the right length!
Anyone have any suggestions? Posted via Mobile Device |

Yeah, I am going to attempt fixing my original panels but I am super nervous. I hope and pray I don’t mess it up!

Re: Grandpa’s 63 C10 build
Yes I always recommend repairing your original fenders if at all possible. Even those that a lot of people say are shot are still repairable. You will spend that much time or more, reworking the repro fenders.The repro front fenders have always been crappy. They will never correct the poor quality issues because everyone keeps buying them.
