Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Hi Harald, that is a great truck! You've done such a nice job of fixing all of the rust. You are very careful with the details and it makes it fun to look at your work. How did you get interested in American cars and trucks?

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Thanks for the words, I'll try my best, it should be fun for us afterwards, it's still a long way to the 1st start.
There is a large US car community in Germany and in Europe in general, you get in touch at car shows everywhere. Our 1st US car was a 1974 GMC G20 Sportsvan in 1989. It stayed for 2 years, it wasn't until 2014 that a 1968 Ford Mustang came to us, I gradually repaired and improved it and now by chance the '62 Chevy C10 came to us, which needed a lot of affection, it gets it from me. Now there's a 30/31 Model A Coupe that's next in line, they're all great vintage cars that have a great story to tell and they all have great parts supply.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
The Doors are now installed again, Doorstops from the Jeep installed, they have 2 locking points and fit plug in play, the Door seals are drawn in, are from the 3-door Honda Civic Hatchback Bj 2008 and fit perfectly. Thanks to the forum for the Great Tips. The Doors snap in nice and soft.
On front the Cab, new longer Bolts onto the frame, which were included in the Set, are too short. Installed window on driver's side. Lots of little things where the hours seep away.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
That looks so good Harald.
One day, One day my C10 will be back together.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
It continued with the assembly of the cabin, the pedal bracket is reinstalled, the doors are complete, the cabin is insulated, the brake booster is in place, the master brake cylinder is replaced, the PO installed one for 4 disc brakes, but it is a disc/drum.
Built-in stereo speakers in the dash, is then operated with a small Bluetooth amplifier. The DeLuxe heating is installed, radio for optics, but installed without function. The kick panel vents are also installed.... it will.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Harald,
Did you get the door seals in Europe or from the States. I want to use the same in Woody but so far have failed to find a source close to home - my local Honda dealer won't order them for me and a lot of the Ebay and amazon sellers won't ship to the UK. Love the colour combo. Well done. P. ![]()

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
I found them on Ebay Germany. The 3 door hatchback is rare, currently only the 5 door is listed.
If you find door seals and they don't want to ship to England, you can also have them sent to me and I would then send them on, but a package up to 5kg costs €26.90 with DHL. As an idea

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Thanks Harald!
I have family in the States so can get parts shipped to them to send over - its just a bit of a hassle. If you see another pair of weatherstrips on German eBay - let me know! Had a look now but cant see any. However, my German is not as good as your English, so probably would have been looking for coats for a sausage dog for all I know! P. ![]()

It is only the written word that is understandable. A conversation between us would be fun for you, from what I say.

Russian chat is via Google Translate app, but when Vladimir writes up reports on his builds in English a rusted sill plate becomes a broken threshold. Conversely, Stanislav in Siberia is 100% fluent in English, grammatically he outdoes 80% of English speakers straight from his knowledge of English, no translator here, and I speak English with him on WhatsApp. My Russian is super limited. Sometimes I am sorry for the loss of impact in translation. With English as my second language, even explained, the impact of stuff is often lost. Thankfully we still can chat.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
The Easter days are over, we continue with the C10, a New Carpet was laid and fitted and the Sillplate was mounted, the Insulation was attached to the Firewall, the Fuel Tank and the Seat Belts were Installed.
The Door Panels are back in Place. I installed my inner Door Handle the way I removed it, is it pointing the right way around?

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Today was a sad day, I tried to install my windshield together with a friend, but the windshield absolutely wouldn't slide in, then an ugly noise and a crack, that's it. Now I have to buy a new windshield first, I'm sad and had to drink a beer first.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
Was it an original windshield or a replacement? Reason I ask is I have the original in my 62 and when I pulled it to replace the gasket it was a pain to re install. I actually had to hire a glass guy to install it and he said the replacement windshields are thinner and the gaskets are made for replacements not originals. So to use a replacement gasket with an original windshield is very hard to install.
