Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
Chad, I am a new member (usually on the 67 - 72 boards) and love the direction you are going with your truck. You sound alot like me, more dreams than $$$, so you have to build it yourself to have that cool ride. Good luck.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
well i guess i have another excuse, i have a 9yr. old girl in cali from an old girlfriend! long story short i have temp. custody as of today and she will be leaving cali to come stay with me by no later then this weekend and as early as tomorrow via my cousin is coming out there to see her dad and will be leavin tomorrow but not later then this weekend!! i hope!! my daughter is at my sisters house in cali as of now and will stay there until my cousin heads this way!!
i do have a small update i got my driver side rocker on almost all the way!! an my driver side floor patches done! my cousin left a battery on my truck floor and it ate my floor up pretty bad in the last yr. or so, so i bought some patches for it and made the two blue pieces and tacked them in, they i did a BIG NO-NO!! my uncle knows how to weld but built up the welds to much now i have to grind a bunch off the kick panel the rest i did and was ok!! i learned a lesson this weekend!! i left to go get some parts for my daily driver and told him ya, you can do a lil welding he said he was bored and wanted to do some welding since i was having to leave an get parts, never again, i repeat never again!! he only welded the kick panel in, the rockers are preowned but never installed and had the lip bend on them so i got them for 40 for the pair!! this is what i have been doing the last two weekends but had to wait til they were almost done, all thats left is to spot weld the bottom lip and i will be done, the passenger side is good, i just got to replace the rocker!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I think your patch for that area turned out better than mine did !!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
The patch job looks great. I'll be doing the same thing as soon as I get my outer rocker back on the passenger side. I started with the easy side first, it was less intimidating. My driver side will be very similar to what you've done but not quite as much off of the back of the floor.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
thanks craig, i hope before it starts to get to cold i can get all this started and that way i'll have the interior to do around jan. or feb. maybe just have to get it registered, and the rear disc brakes and get new axles after march before summer, that way i can be driving it this summer safely!! left you a message in your thread about the wiring harness!! flips72 also bought the same harness and his is all installed and would be some help for both of us!! if i can help just let me know!!
i'm really thinking of just buying the gasket set and trans filter and start pulling the engine and installing parts, and detailing the outside of this engine so i'll really feel like i'm doing something! i just hate having to work on my truck outside and its been raining the last few weekends!! on a side note my daugther from cali has been hear since monday and we are all adjusting, went today to enroll her for school had to wait on so paper work!! she really isnt in to cars and trucks like my lil ones, she seen my truck and said 'oh cool that will be nice, lol!!! my lil ones let me know every time i get parts in and tell me were they are at in the house and wait to see what i got in!! but maybe things will change, she had to raise herself pretty much and i just want her to be a kid and have fun!! but at the sametime i had to have the 'rules' talk with her!!

But now I have to get the new front rotors since I did the disc brake upgrade using the 1985 front end.... You got some scary new parts there Chad !!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
thanks flips, now just cause your trucks done dont be a stranger, lol!!
anyways i got a small update to what i've been doing this weekend, i got my driver side rear wheel tub tubbed, got my gas filler welded in, tested fitted the steering column, and tested fitted my valve covers and intake!! the tub could have been better, but looks ok!! next week i hope to have the motor pulled and put the parts i have in and on the motor, and put the motor back in!! hopefully, lol!!! gauge cluster will come out, my other one will go back in! i got all the wiring pulled out, the firewall on the driver side needs to be messaged a lil more, but will be when motors pulled! anyways heres the pics!!!
