Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
the cab and frame are coming together nicely! it might not be a show truck but i think it will be a really clean driver! keep at it you'll be done in no time! mines not going to be a show truck either, i'm thinking of getting all the stuff done but the outside body and start driving it so i can enjoy it!!

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
thanks guys on the comments!! Hey flips, im painting the top all white and white inside the trim on the side. I finally took that odd ball rim off the driver rear side. had to heat the lug nuts up to get them loose. I went ahead and pulled the drum off and it looked pretty good inside. didnt see anything that would pose a problem. I also jacked the rear end up and I beleive I have a limited slip and not a posi unless the posi unit is worn out. I tryed to rotate both rear tires at the same time 1 full turn and the pinion turned 2 3/4 turns so im guessing I have a 2.73 rear end gear. This frame im using was a factory 327 and 3 on the tree, (thats what I was told anyways). Well I flipped the cab over again and put the pass side door on and started fitting the cab corner. The last patch panel on the cab I have to do.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
well ran into another road block today. I tryed fitting the new cab corner and it fits good at the bottom. At the top its about 1/2 an inch to wide. I held it up staight and it even looks bent crooked where it welds to the door jam. I guess ill have to split it down and take some metal out of it to get it to fit up against the back of the cab. Any suggestions from the pros before I cut this thing up??

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Back to working 6 and 7 days a week so not much time to work on the truck. Almost done with the cab corner. This side must have got hit at one point, lots of dents and bad patch of rust that I sandblasted a while back but has pits in the metal. Almost ready for some filler, few more dents to pull out. I took a break on the truck and modified my sandblast cabinet again. I made the arm holes bigger so my arms are not being squeezed as much.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Thanks guys. I used> http://www.thepaintersedge.com/fusor...neutral-305ml/
I did use a caulking gun cutting the tip real small at a 45 degree angle and running it down the channel then wearing gloves and using a wet rag soaked with thinner to keep my finger wet and clean I smoothed it out. Not quite as pretty around the front of the rocker panels but I wanted it thicker there to keep water out plus it wil not be seen.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Well, terrible paint experience today. Alan you can say " I TOLD YOU SO", lol. I tried the slick sand today. After shaking for a few minutes I opened the can and went to stir and it took me at least 30 minutes to get this stuff stired up. It was all clumped to the bottom of the can. I thinned it a very little and then I tried to spray it in the old style siphon feed gun. The first pull of the trigger and I new it wasnt going to work. I had to hold the gun like 5 inches away with a 3 inch spray pattern. It took me forever to cover the whole roof, lol. Im getting ready to order a 2.5 gun off ebay for next time.

If you have a local paint supplier see if they can put it on the shaker for ya. Maybe Home depot might even do it, not sure.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
cab looks great, are you going to do the firewall in body color or staying with the black?

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
that cab is looking really good! your doing a great job keep it up! i think you will be fine with the sand paper as long as you dont go to high like 800-1000 grit that more for the finishes i believe! the 3_ _ something i have says its for paint and primer!

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
My first cut is 180 with guide coat. Then guide coat and cut with 220-320. If things block out good and looks good when wet I reprime with regular primer and block with 400-600. Then go over it with 800.
