Thanks. Just good luck with the weather. Had 90* temps and light wind, which helped dry times. Will probably have to wrap carport to spray exterior.

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.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

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.

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

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Not a whole lot done last night, but still progress. Stripped the passenger side door down. Did some spot touch up on a few real small cracks I missed on the steering wheel when doing the epoxy repairs Monday. Polished and installed the trim revel clips and I have a glass install buddy and Austin coming over tonight to set the windshield. Pics to follow tonight.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Got the front glass in. My buddy whos installing w/me & austin helping did great. Wants to let it sit a few days in the sun and it'll come in just a hair more. Hasnt been cleaned up yet as we ran out of light, but the trim really changed the look. I like it.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Thanks. It pops up in the classifieds every couple of weeks. Just keep your eyes peeled for it. Be sure to get the 4 revel clips that cover the seams as they are not reproduced either.

Also...the 60-61 trim is 1" wide and will work from 60-63. The 62-63 trim is 1/2" wide and will also work from 60-63.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Project of the night was stripping the inner door panels to bare metal
They are now ready for primer, so another batch ready to paint this weekend.

Oh yeah....plenty of tack rags. Prep is everything. I do the best I can with what I have to work with. Will try and prep cab this weekend for paint. Got another tube of seam sealer for roof. Driver door almost ready to spray. Pass side still needs some work.

Little of both. Starting to get more blue....but still has some of the glenwood green. As it sits today. Hoping to get more paint done this weekend.

I have the steering wheel, horn cap, ashtray, heater face assembly, inner door panels ready for paint. Cab won't take much to be ready to spray. Although it doesn't show in the pic on the right...I did complete the cable vent install.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

The cluster has two plugs that come off the cluster harness to the factory harness. Once you remove the cluster bezels screws from the front, disconnect the speedometer cable from the speedometer and the whole cluster will slide out. Disconnect the harness and your home free. Now....if its a factory gauge cluster and not warning lights.....you will have an oil pressure line to remove.
