Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Without the shed that rest of the work cannot progress.
But we all know this, so keep at it, and of course keep sharing the progress. Good going Bret.

So I got my rag joint today from Rockauto I have to say I am very impressed for what it cost. ![]() ![]() The wife and I painted 3 sides of the shed today before the heat beat us.

With a fan blowing on you it will definitely be workable. ![]() Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Put one of my new push on door seals on today and then test fitted the door to see how it fit. The seal went on perfect.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I've got a lot of work to do on this fender. Not only the rust but it was hit in the fender well and buckled and pulled this back edge in. ![]() All my other gaps look pretty good not perfect but close enough for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hope to start on the door this weekend. I have all the parts to finish out so that is my motivation to get the doors done. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
gaps look pretty good to me, as good or better than when they rolled off the assembly line. that would be a tough fix on the stretched fender. can you get another from salvage somewhere?
love the wheel tire combo… gonna be a beautiful truck. |

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I have some updates to share. Been working on the doors and painted the grille and white part of the grille support. Also painted a bunch of interior parts.
Quote:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next up fixed the rust on bottom corner of passenger door and put some metal 2 metal over the smile face after I welded all the holes some one left after pulling the dent. Also some metal 2 metal on the inside bottom edge that was a beat up. No rust just ugly. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Painting the grille and the grille support. ![]() ![]() Little bit of bodywork. ![]() Primed and painted the backsides with rattle can. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The headlight brackets actually have Chev stamped on them. Very cool. ![]() Made some patches for inside driver door. Still not finished with it. ![]() Also a patch for the outside corner. ![]() Made a junkyard run and found some door checks, heater parts, fuel line, and some rad covers Rian(Grizz1963) ![]() Buddy of mine gave me these for free as well. ![]() Interior parts I painted this morning. ![]() ![]() ![]() And that's it back to the daily grind tomorrow. It was a fantastic week. A little on the hot side but I kept cool under my shade and big fan blowing on me. I can't wait for some cooler weather. My basic recipe was painting and bodywork in the morning before it got hot and then stripping and welding and grinding after lunch when it was too hot to paint. The passenger door need to be blocked one more time and might be ready for paint. I have another parts order coming tomorrow. Have the patch and brace for the driver fender so I can get it repaired next and some new hardware for putting the grille back together, the Chevrolet decals for the grille, and some more misc interior parts. Hope to get the column all back together this week and installed. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Thanks guys for the comments. I got my column all put back together and installed in the truck.
I took a pic when we first got her with my youngest son behind the wheel. Well here is the same pic 4 years later. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It does have too much of a gap between the steering wheel and the column but I have adjust the outer column up as far is it will go. I think this is caused by the rag joint I bought. It is about 1/8" thicker than the stock one. ![]() ![]() Side project. My oldest son got a bunch of vintage license plates for his birthday so I am making some frames to mount them and hang up in his room. ![]()

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Looking great Bret.
You are moving along at quite a pace now. I am really impressed with Nick collecting plates. Side project. My oldest son got a bunch of vintage license plates for his birthday so I am making some frames to mount them and hang up in his room. ![]() Maybe members from all over can help him grow his collection and send him a plate in the mail. Same pr e as a letter. I sent him one from my home town, Port Elizabeth in South Africa and a difficult to find plate from Thailand.....

Knocked out a bunch of small stuff. Slowly chipping away at it. Put new seals on the fresh vent doors and installed them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Repo glove box installed.

I shot the black on the grille support this morning, and then worked on my driver door. It is a mess. When I welded in my patch it pulled on the metal above it and caused a big oil can dent. I spent about 45 minutes hammer and dollying it back as best I could. It will need some mud for sure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Gas tank is in.
![]() Got my trans line bent. Need to paint them and permanently install them with some clips. ![]() ![]() ![]() Got all my heater hoses and radiator hoses hooked up. Filled the radiator with fluid and come to find out it has a pinhole. Don't know how it was fine when I tore it down 3 years ago. Oh well I have a new Champion one on the way I got off of Amazon. Getting very close to firing her up again after 3 years. Nevermind all my wiring it has not been tied up yet. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
New radiator showed up yesterday. The tanks are quite a bit bigger than stock in width so I had to stretch the brackets so it would fit.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Had to repaint the brackets. Will be installing it today. Pics to follow. Bret
