Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Interested to see how you do the staples. I was planning on glueing mine back on.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I use floral wire. Its used in flower arrangements and other art activities available at most hobby shops. I get mine locally from a place called Michaels. Sold in a number of different sizes. Its 18 gauge aluminum with a black plastic coating over it, so no more rusty staples. Its very tough to bend by hand, so small pair of needle nose pliers work great and some side dikes to trim the ends. I cut to length and bend the ends over and have never had one come undone. I'll post the info tonight or tomorrow on the wire and attach some pics as its my project for tonight.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looks like you have been busy. I have my stuff being picked up this week and headed back down this weekend. I would love for my boys to get to see your trucks and parts sometime soon. They both love old chevys, but William likes square bodies better.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got a day behind on the fender closing panels. And correction on the wire gauge....its a 12 gauge aluminum wire that I use to remount the new seals to them. I drilled the staple holes out last night and hit them with one more coat of undercoating, so I can install the new rubbers and staples tonight. Will get some pics tonight.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Ok, here is the rest of the closing panel resto pics....
1st thing to do is make sure the holes are large enough to except what size wire your working with. Then I measure the distance between the two holes, cut off around 2" worth of wire and make two 90* bends so you create your replacement staple. Make sure to mark and drill the two holes in the gasket also for the staple to go through. Install the staple through the gasket and then through the metal, trim to length and fold over the two tabs on the back and repeat until done. Not hard and makes a big difference.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Last of the closing panels with new seals and 2 coats of undercoating and new 12ga aluminum staples. Should last quite a long time.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got the inner fenders prepped and undercoated also....They look kinda spotty in the pics, but the undercoating is still drying in the pics.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got a bunch of the frame and firewall coated also this weekend in undercoating. Frames really staring to pull together. Will start frame trimming tonight or tomorrow depending on work schedule.
And my other goal for the week is to get the new seals on the inner fenders (I already have all the seals to complete the front end). They are stapled like the rest of the engine bay seals, but these are some that I will glue on since they wrap the fenders and aren't just attached on one side.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
$5.49 a can at harbor freight and it lays down great. You can adjust the texture by how close you spray. Been using it for few weeks now and real satisfied with the results. Picked up on it in one of the Jeep forums....came highly recommended.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Been a few weeks of off and on with both trucks. Spent a few hours yesterday in the stepside and got the interior gutted and cleaned out. Will need to do inner rockers, forward floor pans, cab corners and outer rockers. Driver side will need the cab supports also. So its time to start cutting up my donar cab and getting some metal worked in. I'll get some pics up later of whats ahead of me.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
1963c-10---you are doing things top notch--every little detail is perfect. well me, i'am not quite in your zone, close maybe. Unless you do the rebuild yourself you can't splane it to others. there is a lot of exceptional people doing this here, and you are one my man!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Started the Captainfab hydraulic clutch / brake master conversion. Got the firewall plate undercoated, plate installed and mounted up. Just need to bore out the 1 1/2" access hole for the clutch mc. I did notch the plate so I can access the center bolt on the steering column outer clamp. Will get the rest installed after engine in this weekend. No sense risking damage to a couple of new master cylinders if I don't have to.
Thanks to Captainfab for a great product and had no fitment issues!!!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Couple of pics of the floor. The rust issues are obvious, but not bad. I have definitely seen worse, but that's what I bought a welder for.
