Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Are you going to install them now, or hold for later like the seat? Looking forward to seeing the tires mounted on the wheels either way. That's going to be a striking combination!

But I'm getting much closer. Talked with my painted last night. Will do the interior 1st, so I can get the glass reinstalled. Then start on the exterior.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
The 80 gallon was the nicest compressor I ever had, especially for painting or sanding. It would actually catch up and stop running while in use with high flow tools. The last time I tried to use it the pressure relief on the motor failed and it tried to start against the pressure in the tank and literally burned up the motor. Fortunately I was standing right there when it happened.
A new motor or repair was almost the cost of the new smaller compressor so I let the big one go as I just didn't need one that large any longer. It's also nice the new 30 gallon model is 110v and portable.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
1st pic of the rims & white walls. I'll get the blue film off tonight and get the trim rings & hub caps on. Then some more pics.
My buddy runs a tire shop in downtown Fayetteville and they only charged me $36 to mount all 5 tires and balance them. I like the weights on the back side so you can't see them.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
So you are running the chrome "beauty" rims? They look awesome!

My body and fender guy built a lean-to on his garage to keep the noisy compressor and furnace outside the working area. Mines inside and I turn it off when painting, not only because of the noise but also it blows air around and kicks up dust when running.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yeah, the trim rings and the 61-63 deluxe caps. I think I have a set for the other 63 too, and 2 for the trailer.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Heres some better pics...one inside and one outside (starting to get dark). The trim rings and caps really make them pop.
I might try a different brand trim ring. These are off the 63 and are very tight, but they seem just a hair looser on these rims.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Also....the front side of the rim shouldn't have any contact with the tire machine. All of the machines I've seen clamp from the back side and the tire is worked on/off.

If I find another spotlight I'll let you know. The lights themselves are pretty easy to come across....the mounts are getting harder to find. Markeb01 did a great write up on the spotlights and install process. Do a search in the forum and you should find it pretty easy. If not, I can dig it up for you.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
It's been performing truck duty lately hauling construction material for a game room I've been working on. Been replacing leaky wheel cylinders, master cylinder, water pump, and solved an overheating problem so nothing in the looks dept. just making it dependable. Sitting in a garage for 40 years was hard on the mechanicals.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Good to see its being used. Doesn't matter how pretty they are if they can't move and be used.
