1965 c10 patina build

[jrusher]

Your making great progress looks good!

Great to see things moving along with your build!

If you are doing that well using flux core, you'll find it a breeze with gas shielded.

Yes I know but what I have is all I could afford at the time. It has been a great little welder. I would love to upgrade to a better one with gas so much better to weld with

I just wanted to say you were doing a great job with the tool you have.
That's all I have for now also.

I have the cab on and part of the front clip. I am going to patch the drivers side fender it is really rough.IMG_4611 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_4610 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickr

Good work! That fender looks very rough. Is a replacement fender a possibility? I guess it could be challenging to match the patina though.

[65truckowner]

I am planning on priming the rockers light gray and thought I would do the same to the patch panel on the fender. I hope it looks of like that

Did some work on the door rust today then hung the doorIMG_4627 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_4626 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_4629 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_4630 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_4633 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickr

I will do the body work then just prime the corners and the rear of the front fender.

The bed wood looks great. What type of wood are you using?

[65truckowner]

It is pine I am staining it the dark color you can see on one of the short boards in the picture. What color should I paint the metal strips?

[cwcarpenter98]

I didn't repaint my strips, but they still have some of the original, black paint left. I really like the look of the black strips with the color stain I have. Post 588

[65truckowner]

Yes the black strips you have look great!

[65truckowner]

Slow go but got the interior painted and ready to put together. I order a bunch of parts just waiting on them.IMG_5437 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_5438 by Daniel Crymes, on FlickrIMG_5434 by Daniel Crymes, on Flickr

It's great to hear it run! For the radio cut outs, did your truck come like that, or did you have to repair and cut out for the radio? I will have to do mine soon and have a template, but will have to make sure it is correct.

[65truckowner]

I put a radio delete plate where the radio was.
