Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
This bed is kicking my ass, spent another full day working on one fender. I had to cut,weld and fill in two pieces that was rusted out. Then I had to pound out and re-shape the front of right rear fender. It was hard to get that line straight. I am almost done with all the body work. I have one more piece to weld on angle strip little filler, sand and I am ready to start priming and blocking. Hopefull I will be ready to paint in a month.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks, I am still working on the bed. Hopefully I can re-prime it tomorrow. My wife has had me working on other projects. I made a coffee table, tv stand and dog bed. I think I am going to do the same relic stain on my bed wood. I really like the old look.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Truck is looking good! I looked for a spare door handle but I didn't have one. I'm sure the place in Belton has one you can pull off a truck or burb. You may go to fast freddies by Skylark field (on business 190 end) and look behind the tire shop. They have a burb thats the same year model I'm sure they'll sell parts off of. Its been sitting back there for several years....

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Painted my bed yesterday. I can't believe that I did it! I still have both fenders to do. Once I got a good coat of primer I could see all the imperfections the fenders have. The bed came out good. I have 3 runs on the whole job, due to the poor lights in my garage. The satin color also hides some of the imperfections in the bed. Today I cut all the wood for the bed. I went with pine because I couldn't beat the price. It cost me $70 for all the wood. I hope to have it stained and installed tomorrow.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
What blue did you use? The bed looks bright the trim looks baby. I took a shot of the Omaha orange and auto adjusted it and it came out almost red. I really like the blue. Side note for step sides... a one piece board can be used. Did that in high school on the 57.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
The color is speed blue from Hot Rod Flatz. All is the same color just the light changes it. If you look at my build page when the truck is outside it looks lighter and inside the garage darker. Just finished the bed today. The only thing I have left is painting inside the tailgate. I ran out of paint.

Very nice build your working on. That is the same color I bought for my truck. I like the way it looks on yours. The only difference is I'm using the Hot Rod Flatz Gun Smoke Metallic for the roof and the strip inside the side molding. How did it spray? I've read some good and some not so good reviews on this brand. Anyway the build looks great keep up the great work. Robert Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
The wife and I were Oooooo and Ahhhhhh-ing over your pics this morning!
She REALLY and truely likes the color and I really liked the stain you used on your bed wood. It is obviously new wood, but the stain makes it look old and original in your photos, that is a pretty neat effect! Sooooooo what's next for you?

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks. Gloss55 gave me the inspiration for the satin color. He has the same but in red. I like it also and I am thinking if my next project what color would look good. The bed took a while to finish. It still has some flaws but hard to see. I was getting tired of working on it.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I like the color. Reminds me of a slightly darker blue then the code 23 Gm Medium Blue mine was.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Nice progress! I really like what you've done, and specifically the bed. It's very striking, attractive and unique. Very nice decisions/selections and execution. Keep it up!

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks! I have been working on that bed for a long time and didn't think I would ever finish the wood part. I followed the instructions from GMC paul and it came out good. I still have to do the fenders they weren't ready when I sprayed the bed. Now I'm out of paint. I will order more soon. I read all the builds and topics on the forum and take all the advice from the members. I really hope to get this thing running by summer. Again I really appreciate the positive comments it keeps me going.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Painted my rear fenders and tailgate today. I am getting closer to finishing the exterior.
Next is to take my rear bumper to get blasted so I can get it painted and mounted. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Today I am going to respray the hood. I have been trying to get the spray pattern right with this paint. I keep getting dry and streaking spots in the paint. I think I figured it out yesterday when I reshot the door. The bed came out real good and I don't know what I did different. The only thing I can think is that it is flat and doesn't have any curves in it.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
what happens with pre-flattened paint is the clear coat will float. So you get one strip of flat and the other is glossy, causing tiger stripes. I went through this 10 years ago when I painted my 72 with a flattened 2 stage satin black. I ended up shooting the entire truck 4 different times before I was satisfied with the end result. The key is the proper amount of overlap, and keeping that gun a perfect 90 degrees to the surface you are spraying. It's such a pain in the ass, I don't know why I'm going to put myself through this again. hahaha I just love the look of a suede paint job. I think your truck is coming together very nicely bud, thanks for sharing the build with us.
