Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I have got all my goodies for the front end except the idler arm. Should be here in the next couple of days. Also still waiting on my patch panels from Top Banana
Here is all the stuff I bought on Amazon. One more 10 hour shift and then I'm on vacation for 12 days! Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
That's a great stack of parts you got there! I'll bet you can't wait to get started. I just finished vacation and didn't do a thing to the truck. Just played.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Looks like you are going to be able to get some stuff done vacation!
BTW those are some cool wood projects on you bench. Did you make them?

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Your woodworking skills are top notch. My grandfather built custom cabinets after he retired from the fire department. I wish I could have learned more from him before he passed away. Your attention to detail on those projects is awsome!

Thank you. The Train is my favorite. Thanks I spent about 4 hours this morning finishing stripping all the suspension. The crossmember gave me a little bit of grief. One of the horizontal bolts that goes into the welded on square nuts twitsted off. I tried welding a nut on to it but couldn't get a strong enough weld. I went to wack it with a hammer to try and loosen it and it busted the welded nut off oops. Going to make a run to Lowes to get the lumber I need to bulid the boom for the engine hoist to lift the cab off and to make a dolly for the Cab to roll on. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Well, at least you can weld a new nut on now....just done with my disassembly myself, so I can understand the time and work involved. And am done with everything except caliper/spindle painting. Then reassembly!!!
Your crossmember looks pretty clean though...shouldn't take much to get it prepped for paint. The best part is cleaning out the void on the underside of the crossmember. I was just about able to level out my driveway with all the mud/gunk that came out of it.

Well yesterday was an exciting day for me. Finally took the cab off. Went without incident other than the front mount bolts not wanting to come out of the floor. A lot of rust. One of them was almost rusted halfway through. After the cab was off I cutout the manual trans member. Then it was outside to start sandblasting. I got in one round of sandblasting before this happened. It was a good day. No rain predicted for the next 3 days so hope to get the frame all blasted and the cab is next. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I never cease to be amazed by you guys who do the whole strip down thing.
Hope the rain comes and goes so you can get back to work. I am on slow speed today. Had another chest infection that floored me this week so brush paint and woodwork only today.

Well I didn't really plan to do a full frame off but the more I dug into the more everything was in bad shape and not road worthy. Your well wishes helped out no rain today and none for the next 3 days. I got all of the bottom and outside of rails done. Just have about half of the top of the rails and little bit on the inside. About 3/4 done. Not to bad at all. I forgot to take pictures of the bottom side. DOH! Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Love the cab dolly. Wish I would have built something like that. Would have been much easier to move around and take off/put on.

Well today was a good day. I got some color shot on the frame and I feel like I have hit a milestone. Even though I have a long way to go. Its great to have something looking new and painted. Primer Surfacer 2 coats of Hot Rod Flatz Black. I originally was going to paint the truck with this but have decided to paint it blue instead. It came out a lot better than I was expecting. I have never used a spray gun before. I also got the top half of the cross member blasted. I plan for tomorrow is to finish blasting the cross member and the a arms and get some color on them. I need to build something to hang parts from so I don't have to have two painting sessions flipping things over. I have an idea. My wife was so excited about it painted she asked what I needed to buy next. Wow that was a shock. Bret

Frame came out nice, good place for the first time spray gun.
By the time you start spraying blue you'll have it perfected
