Not much new to add. The holidays were extremely busy with work on the big barn, getting engaged and trying to not eat too much food. Back to work on the seat tracks this week and the seat gets dropped off Thursday or Friday if all works out good. Hope that everyone had a safe and happy holiday.

You too Jon, and again congratulations!

Your truck is going to like the barn, I plan on moving to a bigger garage myself. I ate to much just like every other year, I'll have to start working on the truck again to lose the belly. Enjoy

That's too funny TJ Lose weigh in five easy steps!

[1963c-10]

Thanks Austin.

[1963c-10]

Thanks guys, but I get enough exercise felling trees, milling lumber and building my barn to last me for a few years. And I've done my share of c-10 pushing when I was younger. I try to avoid the c-10 workout now.

Boy no kidding! Now how you feel on the lumber part..... but i've been somewhat fortunate that I have only had to push mine maybe 50 feet. LOL!

How's the truck comin along???

[1963c-10]

Sorry for the late response TJ. Not much new to report. Been working on the barn a lot. Trying to get a dry place to put the truck so I can tackle some big projects this year.

Did get a call from the upholstery shop. He is ready to take all the parts, so I guess if its not raining tomorrow it'll get dropped off there.

No new progress on the tracks or valve covers, but I have a 3 day coming up, so I plan to get some work done in the time off.

Any updates on your seat?

[1963c-10]

Just back up and moving. Had a kidney stone that took over a week to pass. Then we got hit snow that shut down the city for a few days. 1st day back to work in awhile, so I'll try and stop at the upholsters shop today and get an update.

DANG! Sorry to hear about the kidney! Glad yer back on the road though!

[WhippinSaw]

Sorry to hear about the kidney stone 1963 C-10. Glad your Ok and getting back to work. This winter sucks. I volunteered to head the snow removal crew at work and havent worked on my truck since. Check out the tractors I operate at work, reminds me of the color you picked out for your truck. New Holland Blue

[1963c-10]

Thanks guys. I rode bulls and bucking horses for years taking many injuries. Broken bones and concussions had nothing on the kidney stone. Worst pain I've ever felt. Just glad its over and hopefully I won't get any more. Has made me drink 4-5 more glasses of water each day now.

Good to be getting back to projects. Over a week at home and mostly in bed. Lost a valve stem sometime while out in bed, but got it to the shop Saturday and replaced. Also found a 61 still behind the shop that I'd already talked to the owner about. Looks like he may be trying to get rid of it. 61 long bed step side, unmolested w/original drivetrain.

It's already planned for 3 stalls.....I knew I would eventually add to the collection. I have the 2 car carport also.

[1963c-10]

Same color blue......can't wait to get the truck sprayed this year. My fiancée wants pics with us and the truck for our Nov wedding, so I want it sprayed by then.

This weekend was the 1st out of the house do to illness and the weather, but I got my door mounted and caulked. Still have a couple coats of paint to go, but I finally have a tool shed. Will start on the big barn next. Nice thing is the small shed only has the engine and cherry picker in it now, so I can finish mocking exhaust and clutch/trans in there.

Put a small bench and shelves in. Will put more shelves in this week and paint after our rain is gone (another 3 days).

Recycled an old ax handle for the door pull. Milled 2" x 16" planks out of yellow pine for the door. And it is heavy.

[TheBlueBomber]

Looks great!

[1963c-10]

Its getting there. I need somewhere to put my tools and stuff until the big barn is built. Its hard to work on projects when everything is all over or in boxes, so hoping the tool shed will help on that end.

[WhippinSaw]

Nice job on the custom sliding door, I like it better then a swinging door and it gives the shed a heavy duty macho look. Good idea
