Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

heres the bed sides, passenger side stripped down 1/2" bondo on the lower part that had rust and a big dent in it! I have longbed sides i'll cut my patches from!! the driver side is in a lil better shape don't have bondo covering rust on it, but did have 7 dents 6 look like it had side trim on it before!! in the second picture where the white hasn't been stripped down yet is were the rust and dent are at!! but anyways this is what ive been doing, progress might be slow but atleast it something, right!!!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

it seems to always be the passenger side, maybe the small back glass and tiny mirrors are at fault. looks as though you have it all under control though, cab turned out awesome by the way.

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

230 views/ no comments, wow!

anyways

I have my motor at my buddys shop and after I had to work half a day Friday, this is the motor as of now! broke two bolts off on the oil pan, got mad an changed all the oil pan bolts out! 3 power steering bolts where to long, it was a long day of modifying/ changing bolts out! im glad I got a small tool box full of grade 8 bolts in all sizes and lengths that I would need for this truck!

i'll get the transmission cleaned and painted today!! then put them together and put them back in my truck tomorrow!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70

Just caught up on your build Chad, took a while(23 pages). You're really doing a great job, keep up the good work! Truck is really coming out great! I know how hard it is to try to keep the motivation going especially when life keeps getting involved, but amid all obstacles you're doing it, keep at it! You'll get there!

thanks coulter, they weren't old bolts they had studs and the lugnut things but broke off flush at the top of the oil pan, good thing I had the thick one-piece oil pan gasket!
