Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I figure at some point I am going to run out of parts to restore. Right?

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Started today off cleaning out the "sanford corner" beside my shed. With all the bed parts nearly gone from it except the passenger fender and bed strips it is pretty well emptied out.
My bed strips needed some straightening. Also the rear bed sill is in terrible shape. I never really looked at is since I took it off the truck. I am going to straighten the best I can for now but it needs to be replaced. ![]() ![]() You can kinda see my cleanup in the back of the photo. If you look real close you can see the line on the fence where the bedsides where. The fence still looks new. The bed sill looks like it was run over by a train. ![]() ![]() Bed strips all hammered straight. I will have to buy at least one as my BIL cut the very middle one to install the stupid rear gas tank he fumbled together. ![]() After some hammering on the middle of the sill. It looks a little bit better. ![]() Still bowed like crazy. ![]() And the tailgate is bowed the other way. What a mess. ![]() ![]() ![]() After messing with it for a little bit started on the bodywork for the driver bedside. ![]() 6 applications of filler later and it is looking better. ![]() Ready for some primer and then some blocking and probably a little bit more mud in a few places I missed. ![]() I was able to knock 99% of all the dents that where in the top rail out. ![]() ![]() ![]() That's it for today. Thanks for looking, Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Last night I blocked out the High build coat. Still have just a few small places to fix with glazing putty.
![]() This morning flipped it over to finish stripping and welding up the holes in the rail. ![]() ![]() I also ground down all the spot welds on the angle strips and where the stake pockets are attached. ![]() A small mix up of metal to metal for a few of the spot welds and the holes I welded up on the rail. ![]() This is about as clean as it is going to get. ![]() ![]() There are some really hard to reach places that really needed to be sandblasted but I didn't really feel like messing with it. So I hand sanded them the best I could. ![]() I put it face up for the first coat of primer so I could get a good coat in the top part of the rail. Even the factory did not get much paint in there. ![]() ![]() The strip you see left unpainted is where I applied some rust neutralizer. It has to dry for 24 hours before a topcoat. ![]() ![]() After lunch I drug out the passenger bedside to finish stripping the outside of it. ![]() ![]() ![]() By 5 o clock I had it looking pretty good. This bedside is in much better shape than the driver. Just have a small place at the front to weld and knock down a few dents. ![]() ![]() ![]() That's it for today thanks for looking. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Getting things knocked out. Glad to see the door skin issue resolved quickly, not very often do things go in a builders favor.
Looks like a little hammer and dolly action to fix the reverse dents from tire/rock kick up. |

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
So the moment finally came!
![]() So there are 2 parts. The end of the first one I dropped the screwdriver I was using to change gears. I am about to order my new shifter. And dang it if I didn't leave the fender cover hanging on the front. ![]() https://youtu.be/te-B126jofI https://youtu.be/3nSQnY-xYVQ thanks for stopping in.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
These pictures were taken while I thought I was videoing.
![]() ![]() It looks so incomplete without the fender. ![]() Sorry lots of photos haven't photographed it outside since 2014 when I sat the cab on it at the other garage. ![]() ![]() ![]() Time to do some cleaning. Has been in this spot since June of 2016. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I need to clean my front bench it has developed a bad case of FSD. ![]() Took the hinges off the driver door and these bolts need to be replaced they have some cancer. All of that was hiding and you would have never known without pulling the hinge. ![]() The new door bottom patch I bought will come all the way up and fix this rotted part. ![]() Peeling back the door skin. I am going to replace the inside piece before I do the outside skin. ![]() Here is what I am going to cutout and replace. ![]() ![]() The new piece laid out for cut. ![]() ![]() Thanks for stopping in, Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Working on getting the corner patch to fit good. Which was difficult it was not bent properly which doesn't surprise me.
![]() It's hard to see but the very bottom curve did not go down and line up at all. ![]() This left side corner fit really good once it was pulled up tight. ![]() Drilled 1/4" holes for the plug welds to the inside corner brace. ![]() ![]() Cleaned up where the plugs welds will be. ![]() Stitching it in place. ![]() After final cleanup not to bad. ![]() Little mud and no one will know what happened here. ![]() This side was alot harder to clean the welds up do to it being difficult to get the grinders in there. Will go over with some metal to metal to finish it out. ![]() Came out right on at 6" ![]() Next up was pulling the skin off. ![]() Nasty ![]() ![]() Taped off the for the cut. Get rid of this horrible messed up patch I did. ![]() All gone. ![]() While I was cutting I noticed the piece still had some tension even way up here, so going to have to make my cut higher up. It sagged afterwards that is no bueno. ![]() So will cut it up here at my 25" marks I made to line up the bottom of the door. Should actually be easier to line the new skin up because it will fit down into the belt line. ![]() Can't wait to this done. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm! ![]() ![]() Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
The interior side of the door is 99% done. Still have some bodywork to do on the outside skin where I grafted it together.
I ended up having a major debacle with the skin that I am not going to share but I found a solution even though it caused me a lot more work. Outer skin welded in. ![]() After 3 days of cutting, welding and grinding inside the shed it was a mess and disorganized so I had to stop this morning and do some major cleaning and organizing. ![]() I built this quick and dirty pegboard organizer to get stuff off the bench and just using it this afternoon has been so much easier to stay organized and clean. ![]() This lower door hinge had alot of slop in it so out comes the old pin. ![]() Yeah I would say the bushings are wore just a little. ![]() Quick trip to the sandblaster. ![]() Some Primer ![]() Pin was a little too long. ![]() That's much better. ![]() Brand new hinge ready for another 54 years of use. ![]() Quick test fit. ![]() This poor old truck hasn't had a driver door on it since Nov' of 2013. ![]() Everything looks better in primer. ![]() ![]() Original state of the door bottom. ![]() Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Nice work on the high hump, I am thinking of using a seam sealer of sorts and plug welds but may bolt it as well.
