1963 C-10 in NC

[1963c-10]

Got the glass removed last night with help from Austin. Pinch welds all look great. Some light surface rust on the lower corners, but not rot or pinholes...and nothing the wire brush didn't take off. Should be able to finish prep on windshield opening....tape off and primer the rest of the interior tonight. MY goal at least. Hoping to get color down over the next weekend and start reassembly. Then back onto engine/trans.

Got seam sealer down last night. 2 coats sealer and 2 coats base so far. Need 1 more coat base and then clear

Thanks for the kind words. need to touch up the undercoating on the firwall. I did the undercoating 1st and oversprayed on purpose so the seams get double coated. The 3m seam sealer in the squeeze tube was easy to use. My buddy use to do glass for a living stopped by. He'll help me set the glass back in mon or wed next week. Ill hold o# reassembly until glass is in.

Heres a few more pics of finish. 1st one ive sprayed in 18 years.

[1963c-10]

Will do the doors this week and then prep exterior of the cab.

[1963c-10]

In case any ones interested:
Primer omni mp281 lacquer
Base omni dark pepsi blue 12908
Clear shop line jc630 polyurethane
And the clear hardner 4:1 shop line jh6370 polyurethane

[1963c-10]

Got the glass sealed into the gasket tonight. Will get the trim in tomorrow or monday. Lots of tape

[1963c-10]

Some more headway inside the cab. Got most of the dash switches in. Floor vents and cab light in. Taped off and sprayed the rear of the cab. And masked off the firewall and touched up the undercoating there.

[1963c-10]

Few pics of the dash.

Also did the window trim install just a few minutes ago. Undid one 1/4 of the tape, installed trim piece. Ewtaped using what I just removed and repeated process. The trim is the 60-61 wide trim and really makes the glass look good.

Thanks a bunch. Will do some white two tone on the inside still(glove box and door covers). Have to get the windshield and back glass in Wednesday then I can complete interior reassembly.

[1963c-10]

Long weekend and heavy workloads these last few weeks, so taking it easy and doing some inside projects. Got clock reassembled after painting yesterday and working on the fleetside cluster some.

Clock is gm part 28921D or O..hard to tell where its cast. I didn't paint over the # on purpose.

[1963c-10]

Prepped the ashtray, heater control and steering wheel for paint. Maybe get color down tomorrow if lucky.
