I'm going to paint it the yellow green & ivory that way I wont have to paint the fire wall, it's not yellow but it's close. Hey last winter when I was at Wall-mart a guy asked me if I want to be one of there Santa's? I said no that when I had girls set on my lap I had bad thoughts and he went away quickly. By the way I like old gassers....Vernski

Very Nice, where did she get them?

steverino66 · 09-23-2011, 11:25 AM

I've seen some really clever cab rotisseries, but I'm too lazy/impatient to build one, so I did this and primered the inside of the cab:

Started sanding on the body, I guess this means I'll have to paint it for real now. I havent painted any thing since the early 80's and all I have is a showtime hvlp ,going to be interesting if anything.

T2vigil · 09-23-2011, 06:23 PM

I finally got around to putting on the front swaybar. If I would have known that it would make that much of a difference I would have put it at the top of the list.

doublebeetx · 09-23-2011, 09:41 PM

Finally got my gas tank in the rear of my 64 short stepside. Ran out of daylight before I could finish plumbing and hear her run again. But I'm off until Tuesday ! Old Flo will be running before the weekend is done !!

towersddg9 · 09-24-2011, 05:27 PM

Pulled the vari rate springs and put in some 2 inch drop from American classic, the others had the a** end way too high

niterider65 · 09-24-2011, 11:34 PM

cleaning up the por runs and getting ready for piant ..

Alan's Classic · 09-25-2011, 12:33 AM

Laid some wood

Woogeroo · 09-25-2011, 04:21 AM

Alan - nice bed.

I stripped wires and soldered & crimped connections on my '65 c10... 4 or 5 patches or replacements altogether.

I only burned myself twice with the soldering iron!

hah. nothing serious just a 'OW-THATS-HOT!' moment toward then end when I was tired and ready to be done with it.

Wired it up, put old head light switch back in... cleaned up, took a nap, went to the cruise in a way over in Dallas, GA in the truck... took those photos, ate some bbq and then walked around some more.

Then I eased on back to the house.

budden · 09-25-2011, 08:25 PM

wax on wax off..............then drove it like i stole it

awbrown · 09-25-2011, 08:49 PM

Well I took ol'blue out for a drive, drove about 30 miles .. Confirmed that the radiator and fan work properly .. I actually looked at a 62 chevy c10 , if anyone is looking for such a project this one has all the lower cab work done... it does need a roof.. but the worst is done... Yeah I know , like I need another project ,as if 2 trucks (3 cars ) etc isnt enough..anyways the engine I put in the truck runs OK,but it does need a bit more oil pressure.. I will worry about that when I get the other truck running and this one goes under the knife...

Turkey · 09-26-2011, 12:59 AM

Put some scallops on it.

Scallops look good i like me some scallops! i also like your masking tape holder

**Clyde65** · 09-26-2011, 05:26 PM

Actually this was Saturday...

Clyde needed some new sneakers so I decided to also put the powder coated wheels on there too. I got two tires put on the two PC wheels, polished the trim rings and the center.

Before...

and after

64shortbox · 09-27-2011, 01:57 AM

I like!!! I plan on installing Rally wheels on my 64 too.

**chevy_man5** · 09-27-2011, 09:00 AM

I lightened it up a bit. I don't know how many pounds of bondo were in each fender, but it was A LOT!!

Passenger's side

Drivers side

SulphuriousSam · 09-27-2011, 09:12 AM

^^^^That's alot of bondo mang!^^^^

**chevy_man5** · 09-27-2011, 09:22 AM

It has been on there for the years I have owned the truck, and at least the 2 years my buddy owned it, and it was still somewhat soft in the middle!

Here is a shot of starting to pull it out of the Passengers side.

I ended up resorting to drilling holes in it, then breaking it out, and repeating over and over!!

SulphuriousSam · 09-27-2011, 09:48 AM

That looks as thick as the plaster walls in my 80 something year old house!

narx66gmc · 09-27-2011, 01:27 PM

finished the wire harness install - super easy w the Economy kit from Speedway - best $150 ive spent on the old truck.
