Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
ok guys heres a few things i have been doing, just haven't posted anything in a min. my lower rad. core support brace was usted pretty bad and very thin! so i went out bought so 1in. x 2in. c channel and cut it down to a 40in. piece took some measurements marked all my holes! then i had to grinded down the inside of the c channel in the corners cause its thinker and didnt want to fit tight like i was wanting it to! then i welded it in and bend the corners and welded everything up drilled my holes and painted it and it likes good as new!! i got my white gauge cluster faces and put them on, then i found out that you can get them done in any color and design you want you just got to pay extra! i got the speaker holes in the big window patch welded up and ready for me to put in the truck! i also got my other fender patch done! any ways on to the pictures!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
some more pictures! i got to cut out a small patch to fix on the fender well lip, and i flipped the fender over and seen some small dents! so i started hammering them down just to find so bondo, i got to take it off but i got most of the dent out with about 5 mins worth of work! they used alot of bondo for some really small dents! but i think after i get the bondo off i got about another 5-10 mins and it will be straight again!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
after i get the small patch done and the bondo off and get them primered up! then i'm going to start welding bolt to the inside of the bumpers for a smooth look and get them atleast primered before it starts to get anymore colder here i still got other stuff to do before winter get here! and then its back to saving up for more stuff!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
I like your thread, and like someone else said, it is really cool to see someone with my level of skill and budget doing this stuff.
You are going to have a great ride there when you get it done! I found your build from another post, you should add your thread to your signature like most the other guys do, so it is one click for folks to come visit ya! congrats so far, I hope to make some progress on mine this weekend too!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
well i thought i would update my thread! will really just to move it back up to the top, lol! i did double check my pass. fender on the truck, it's looks good! i haven't worked on my 64' lately cause i was working on a 99' silverado, i had two exhaust bolts on the same side, driver side the back two broke! i dont know why or how, but it has taken me two days and i'm still not done, yet!! the first day was taking evrything off, i had to pull the head to get to them! second day was a long day, i drilled them a lil smaller and used an easy-out on the first one it came out within 5 min., second one the easy-out broke! so had to use a carbide bit and buy a new easy-out, then cleaned everything, had my dad scrape and clean some parts why i started putting everything back together! what i have left to do is bolt on the coil pack, alt., throttle body, then put the belt on, add some coolant, plug in the spark plug wires, hook up the batt. and start it, i'll be doing this friday mourning!! so i can go see a fellow member 'JesseSimon' and get a few parts from him this weekend for the 64'! hopefully a windshield and both doors! my doors are ok but pass. door has a big dent and a crease in it and need small patches in both bottom corners, his look better, my driver door doesn't fit right like it should the top is kicked out some! so i hope his doors fit better and i can't beat the price, even thou his 2 hrs. away!! anyways wish me luck, lol!! i'll post something up this next week just been a lil busy with life and stuff!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
while i got the truck back together! runs alot better, lol!! i gave myself a pat on the back, i've never took a ls motor apart,i broke a qd connector for the heater! so i had to buy a new connector ($6.29) part! i took the whole topend off and got the exhaust bolts out and put everything back together drained the oil, filled it back up, and it fired right up (the second time), lol! had to get fuel back to the injectors! smoked a lil, had me worried but that because when i pulled the head off some coolant got into the exhaust pipe! i now see why shops charge so much to fit this kind of stuff, lol!! so anyways i'll be able to get back to the '64 and get a few more things done before winter gets here! i can't wait til i get my other inner fender and firewall cleaned and painted, so i can put the frontend back on for now and see how low the front sit with the extra weight! that and it will look whole again, lol!!

Re: my '64 c-10 swb project with steel floor from a '70
ok so i did a lil work to the truck this week! there was a crack the shape of a upside down "T" in the wheel lip on the pass. fender about 2in.x 2in.! i got that cut out and patched, grinded off all the bondo off the front of that fender to see how bad it was! really not that bad at all, i've seen way worse! they just put 1/4" of bondo on it to cover it all up! i didnt didnt start hammer on it yet but i will its weekend! i got both my inner fender cleaned and painted! i'm going to clean and paint the firewall this weekend or next week sometime and put the frontend back on for now! i had the cop called on me today for being too loud, grinding and hammering! so i guess i'll just have to go back to only working on it on the weekends at my g-mas house, atleast she lives in the country and they dont care how loud i get, lol!! anyways on to the pictures

fenders and inner fenders looking good,also nice job on repairing the speaker holes. stinks you have go to grandmas to work on your truck though, some people just dont understand.you ever thought about moving to tn. the house next door just came up for sale would be nice to have another gearhead in the neighborhood and we dont care how much banging you do.
