Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Thanks PDX
I didn't get as much done today as I wanted I ran out of welding wire and primer. Had already made one trip to the store and didn't want to go back. So I prepped the gas tank brackets and got them ready to weld back in and then did some more stripping on the back of the cab. It was a nice breezy 85 today so we winterized the pool. Glad to have that out of the way. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Good thread. Its motivational for what I'm about to attempt. Neat garage too. Not sure what I'm going to do with all the parts once the trucks stripped, but I'm sure I'll think of something.
Like your wood working projects. Had a buddy whose gone now, use to do stuff like that. He made a WW1 German sub, with copper wire for the fencing around the deck, then various wood stains to replicate the rust down the sides. I wanted him to make me one, but he passed shortly afterwords. Again, good job. |

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I had the same issue with painting the inner roof, just a pain of a spot. I used a gravity feed gun, kept the fluid level high and did the best I could. Came out pretty nice for my novice hands.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Nice work on your cab!! I also have a lot of bolt holes to weld up in my floor but I'm going to wait until I remove the bracing I welded in to support the cab. It's a real pain to work around.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Thanks guys. Thought I would throw this pic up of where it sat for 10 years. I just passed the 2 year mark with this project. Although I didn't really get serious with it until mid 2013. Still have a long ways to go.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Truck is coming along nice. The primer looks good and from the pics the cab looks straight. The hot rod flatz will cover up some of the minor imperfections. But from what I see it looks good and the pant will look awesome! God job! Also pm me your phone number again. I switched phones.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Today I worked on finishing up everything in the interior that needed to be completed so I can paint it. I finished welding up all the holes in the high hump and the doing some bodywork on it. Its ready to be bolted in and painted.
Made a patch panel for the radio hack job and got that welded in. It still need some bodywork and then I am going to make a template for the holes. I wish I had an original radio to make sure I am making the holes right. Also did some bodywork on the gas tank brackets to cover up the plug welds. They are ready for some paint. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am officially on vacation today and all thru next week. My goal is to get some color on the cab. I plan to shoot the interior first and then the white part of the cab. Don't know if I will get to the blue. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Great progress buddy.
Looking forward to eventually getting to my truck as well. Martin got lucky and found me a radio blanking plate and a new to me heater control panel to fix the holes previous owners hacked into the dash. Hope you find time to get to the blue as well, that would be a real milestone.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
This morning I finished the bodywork on the roof and the radio patch. Shot some primer also. I missed one little dent on the roof right where the shelf starts in the back. I should be able to fix it with glazing putty. I still need to do a little bit of feathering on the radio bodywork. Need to block sand the inside and shoot the epoxy sealer primer hopefully this weekend.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Shot the firewall, floor, and backwall. I ran out of paint though so it will need another coat.
![]() ![]() ![]() My evercoat rage arrived today so I will continue work on the back of cab and roof and hopefully get it ready for some White by the end of the week. Bret
