Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build

Thanks! I think I will end up with 20's due to having the tire sizes I want and cost. The old wheels will be moving to the new 90 C1500 project.

I would be interested in selling them, and just going with a new set for the project truck. Shoot me a PM with what truck you have and we'll see if they will work out well for you.

Decided to go with this new directional version instead. Same brushed and Titanium finish though. Just want something a little different.

Thanks guys! I am looking forward to the change. The side trim will really change it up also.

You would be crazy to change up yours... Yours fit the truck well, and go perfect with the color combination. I am glad you are joking!

They are Hot Rods by Boyd.... the Spartan wheel.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build

How did you give the trim the brushed look (steel wool)?
Looks great

Thanks.

The trim has a sort of clear coat on it, so couldn't brush it like normal. Had to DA it with 400, then brush it with red Scotchbrite from there. That coating on it is tough. I am brushing the radiator, intake tube, overflow.... everything polished will not be brushed.

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build

another way to remove the Anodizing coating from the aluminum moldings is use ezoff oven cleaner.
I used it on my 65 custom cab aluminum pillar moldings.
they were all milky looking.
I had to spray them , let them sit a lil bit and then steel wool them and re do it
a few times to get it all off but it did a good job with all the grooves they have .

Re: 63 C10 SWB Dropmember Build

I might try that on the other side, but so far the DA process isn't bad. Little time consuming and can't get all the crevices... but still works well. Not perfect, but then again, neither is the truck.

Thanks!
I think that would look good, and wish I would have planned this out better when I started the truck. Never thought I would be putting side trim on it.

I just felt mine has too much red and needed something to break it up. Your truck looks good! You going to be at Columbus? Would be great to see it in person finally.

One of my buddies has been telling me since day-one that I needed to add the side trim to mine!...Yours really looks good with it!
Columbus in July? That could possibly work!...We will need to sort out the A/C before then, but that will be the first thing on my list once that I get it out of storage!

I will be contacting you soon about the Vintage Air stuff that I need.

Thanks! I am on the fence on the sail panels, but if I come across a set at a decent deal, I was going to get them and mock them up to see if I like them.
