Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks for the compliments. Just trying to stay within budget and on track with my old school resto mod build. The parts really compliment each other nice, and the color is definitely what I wanted. Its just so hard to pick colors as they lay down different than the paint chips show.

Heres a pic of my trusty dog Casie checking out the new welder. She enjoys laying around and watching me work, but she is a great dog.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
No problem. I'd use Bowtie Bits anytime....they sell a lot of NOS parts also.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Hey, whats up Austin. Whats your truck plans this weekend? Im heading to Sanford tomorrow to meet up with Sharps40 and to grab a driveshaft and some parts I left on the last run. Going to finish dropping the crossmember and get prepped/painted this weekend. Time to break in the new compressor.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
On top of all the yard work and moving 16' logs around for the barn, I did manage to get the crossmember dropped. Got it loaded up and took it to advance auto to borrow their ball joint press. Ball joint came out with a little muscle, but no issues. Took it back home for degrease and pressure washing. Degreaser did ok for light stuff, but ultimately I ended up going to the dollar store for some over cleaner with sodium hydroxide....this did the trick nicely. Got the top done before I ran out of steam and light, so I'll finish up the bottom side tonight and maybe paint Tuesday if I get home at a decent time. Heres a few pics, its cleaning up very nice so far. Another step closer!!
The front end of the trailer project made a nice work station. I'll get new grade 8 bolts for the reinstall. All the original hardware came out with no issues, but there is some wear on the lower bolts due to location and being covered in road debris.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looking good! I plan on doing this in a couple of weeks when I take vacation. Oven cleaner hugh. Thanks for the tip. I was wondering if sandblasting is going to clean through all the buildup.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I used some degreaser, which helped with the real light stuff. But the over cleaner and about 30 minutes of soak time really cut through the crud. I sprayed a whole can on the top and will use a whole can on the bottom aslo. Make sure you read the back of the can to make sure it has the sodium hydroxide...not all of them do. I used a wire brush and a flat tip screwdriver for the hard to get areas...maybe an hours work total on the top end. The bottom is much cleaner, will probably take another 30 minutes to do that. And there was some thick crud on it. I'd try the over cleaner 1st and see how it cleans it up for you. With the upper control arms off, the crossmember was easy to move around by myself.
Heres a before and after pic....hard to see all the crud and grease, road tar...etc...but its there.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got the underside of the front crossmember done last night, so maybe I'll get some color on today after work. The oven cleaner did the job again. Best $4 I've spent this week.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Didn't even need a wire wheel on mine. I used a wire brush after a 15min soak, then hit with a water hose. Used a flat tip screwdriver reached the hard to hit areas. It even removed 90% of the paint. Just make sure its got the sodium hydroxide Austin. Same stuff I use to remove anodization from aluminum.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
No, not dropping it, so the stock crossmember will work fine.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got 2 good coats of rust treet down. It converts any rust I may have missed, removes any grease I may have missed, etches the metal and provides a great surface for paint. Calling for rain all day today and lowered temps the next two days, so will probably be this weekend before it sees any paint.
The rust treet is an industrial strength chemical that I have used at work before and I've used it on quite a few truck projects with great results. Nice thing is it can be sprayed, brushed, or dipped on. Just let it dry thouroughly and your ready for paint. I normally apply two coats and it lays down very smooth.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks TJ.
We had a bad rain/wind storm come through yesterday, but I had a few hours in between to get some paint laid down. The 30+ mph winds helped with a nice breeze to dry the paint. Will finish the paint this weekend. I want 1 more good coat down, but so far its looking real good.

Looks good man! Thanks for the motivation I hope to get the front half of my frame sandblasted today if the wind will cooperate.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks Bret....slowly but surely its getting there.
I try and spend 30-60min a day at a minimum when weather and work permits. You'd be surprised how much can get done in little increments.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I second that. My problem is mine is about 10 minutes away at my MIL's so its not as convenient. But I try to bring things home I can work on after work. I'm off work on Thursday and Sundays and you pretty much know where I will be

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I hear you there. Im only downfall here is I don't have a walled garage yet. I have a 500sq ft carport, which is great, but I look forward to completing my barn this year so I can work indoors.
