Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Is your truck a short bed or long? I found that some minor work is required to fit the auxiliary springs on the short bed. Just a little trimming on the end of the outer bumper brackets where the mount to the frame. Think it was around 3/8" I had to trim off...but other than that they are bolt and play.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Found a NOS 63 farm truck plate still in the matching original envelope today for the fleetside. These plates are very tough to find and especially in NOS. Will be a nice addition to the fleetside.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
Thanks, here some better detailed pics. Was never issued and has the matching nc dmv paper envelope. Nc lets us run year of make plates at no cost. Just have to be able to produce registered plate if asked. I keep the registered plate in the glovebox with a copy of the nc statute. Have had to show it 2x in 5 years.

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
All interior cab prep done on the stepside and it got dark, so figured id build a vacuum gauge for the fleetside gauge cluster. Used an older pontiac vac gauge and a 60-63 delete plate
Took 20 minutes total and had the parts on hand so no extra cost ..minus decal. I will have to order a new vacuum gauge decal. Took the needle of using two spoons apply pressure under the base of the needle on the sides. They always pop of great this way. Removed the cover of the gauge by the two tiny bolts. Took the back side of the rivet off using a small phillips head screwdriver. The back of the rivet is soft. .maybe 7-8 turns and it'll let the delete face free. Used the old gauge as the template and drilled a 3/16" hole for the needle. Bolt the new face on & thos is where the decal will apply....but you guys get the idea. I see these vac gauges go for $20 all the time if I had to purchase one on ebay. With a delete plate, gauge & decal and maybe 20-25 minutes...it'll make a nice addition to the truck and save $200. The gauge itself is identical to my original gauge in my stepside. The delete is the same size plate..so once redecaled it'll look oem

Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC
How will that mount to the cluster housing? I imagine the back of the housing plate will have to be modified?
