Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Hey guys, been real busy working 7 days a week and doing yard work. I havent had much time to work on the truck and when I did Its been too hot. I got the last patch made for the pass side rear floor finished and welded in. I also got the new cab support trimmed and fitting nice, just need to weld it in.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
I been experimenting with some rust removal. I bought some grandmas molasses and got an old pan and mixed the molasses 1 part to 10 parts water. Mixed it up good and dropped in some rusty bolts from the battery tray. I let them just sit there and soak for a week and a half. went down to the shop the other night and fished one out and wiped it off with some carb cleaner and a rag and the bolt looked brand new and clean. i coudlnt beleive how good it turned out. check out the pics!!!

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Im getting closer to welding on my rockers panels!! Im trying to figure out the best thing to put on the inside of the rockers. Im thinking of undercoating them or just put some paint in there. what are you guys using??? I ordered some por15 from eastwood to do my cab floor with and it came in tuesday. I got everything being held togather with sheet metal screws until I pre fit the rockers and make sure everything is lined up right. Guess im going to be flipping the cab again soon.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
i would probably just give two coats of epoxy primer, when i was doing yhe frame on my 72 4x4 i used it in black, it looked just like chassie black and the paint rep said anything i put on top of it would be the weak link that the epoxy would last longer than i would. and your patch panels are nice you definetly have some metal working skills

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
I didnt go to the goodguys show today because of weather. I really wanted to work on my truck anyways. I stripped the inside of the cab today. steering coloumn, firewall pad, instrument cluster, glove box door, ashtray, and all the heater components. Does anyone know where the 3 vacumn hoses coming from the windsheild washer squirters go to under the dash??? I dont see anywhere they would go under the dash. All I see under the dash is the windsheild wiper motor and it has no place to hook hoses to it. Im stumped on this, they were just hanging under the dash, must be something missing. anyway heres some pics and looks like its time to remove the doors and flip the cab again to weld bottom of rockers and POR15 the bottom of the floor.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
lol about the drugs!! I think im going to go with a light or medium gray inside. I dont really like that gold or fawn color. I want to get that 2 tone seat cover from LMC truck thats gray and white to recover the origional seat. Then I may paint the steering coloumn and wheel white. I was doing some research and found out that im missing my windsheild washer pump that mounts under the dash. It seems to be around 30 bucks so thats good. So flip have you done anything to yours lately?

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
I reuse as much sand as possible. I vacuum it up with a shop vac, and then use a sifter to filter the debris out. Can't do it if your sand blasting on the ground though.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
I guess im lucky because I live only 40 minutes from hoffman where they make the sandblasting sand and bag it. They sell it for 4 dollars a hundred pound bag. I have a guy I know that gets his by the dump truck load so i just take my 5 gallon buckets to his place and he fills them for 3 dollars each. So I dont worry about trying to save it when its that cheap around here. It took about 2 of the 5 gallon buckets to do the whole bottom of the cab and about 2 hours minus untaping, blowing the sand off and priming it. Looks like flips got the same blaster I have.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
It's really hard to tell you how to fix that "oil can" you are hearing. I generally use more pins spread around the area and slowly and gently pull each one. There is no step by step instructions. It's more trial and error. I'm sure there is someone that can save the day and tell you exactly how to do it. Every dent is different.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Sounds like you have to shrink it. I haven't perfected it yet.
Check out these videos by Ron Covell. He's a cool guy, and his videos are the best.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Shrinking is a lot of fun. I can fake my way thru it. That doesn't mean I'm good. . I have been able to use multiple pins and get the dent out if when there is a oil can. A ridge (body line) can keep tension in the metal. Now that is clear as mud. Posted via Mobile Device

Mud fixes everything.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
If all else fails, can you tack a stiffner to the inside wall of the sheet metal?
I would envision something like a large plate with a hole in the center and tacked in? But I am NOT speaking from experience mind you, just asking...

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
get out the torch and shrink that area. its called oil canning. the metal was stretched too far , only way to fix properly is shrink with a torch, or shrink disc

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
i have the same problem with my roof, mines in the same areas but more to the back of the rested part of the roof! whats the best way to shrink the metal! would someone heat the metal then cool it down with a cold rag? i need to check into this!
McMurphy- i dont think you can do that, for one theres no way to get to that spot without cut a hole in the roof or taking the inner panel out!
