Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got the white walls in Saturday also, so will get the rims/tires down to the shop this week to get them mounted.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Wow you’ve been busy! I took a nap and you’ve got three more pages on your build! The new truck looks great. Are you sure that steering wheel isn’t stock? Back in the late 60’s-70’s almost every one of these trucks had a foam or wood wheel just like that!
![]() The seat sure turned out beautifully. I’m looking forward to the finished truck with new paint and WW tires. It’s going to be very striking.

And the steering wheels available for a new home anytime. It is real wood though, not a cheap knock off.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
No, didn't make it that far. After pressure washing and moving the intact bench seat solo, and the front end parts....I was wiped. Still 1/2 tired from the day before. You'll see the link on my signature line below.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Nope. Contacted guy #2 and he will be coming next Monday. I really wanted the first guy to come cause he would've taken the transmission too... Oh well.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I hate when that happens. Because you put just as much effort into trying to line something up irregardless if they show up.

Well done! I look forward to seeing more also on the bbw. |

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got a new toy today..... 20gal air compressor. Picked up a pressure washer this weekend....both will get plenty of use. I'll need a larger compressor down the road, but this will get me by for now.
Also have the new white walls getting mounted/balanced tomorrow, so pics tomorrow on them.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Heres the new compressor. 2yr warranty with Home depot. Will look at something around 80gal once the shops up, but this should get by for now.
I have a couple of buddies who are running this brand and didn't hear any complaints. This one is 20gal 1.5hp 150max psi and 4scfm@90psi

It was replaced with a Husky 80 gallon model which had a nice deep thumping note to it. 10 years later it died, and since I no longer paint cars, I replaced it with a Husky 30 gallon upright, 2 hp model. It’s the quietest compressor I’ve ever owned. We have an attached garage, and when I'm in the house I can't even hear it running.
