Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Ordered the new steering box from Red-Head steering gears in Seattle WA today. $246 out the door and $100 core charge. Have heard great stuff about these guys, so looking forward to getting the new box and installed.
Link to them if anyone is interested: http://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Will do. Spoke with them on the phone and was a very smooth transaction. Looking forward to trying it out.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Didn't make paint this past weekend as planned.....just too many small things I needed to do 1st and spent most of Saturday walking and marking off 40 acres that we hunt on. But....pass door installed....then had to remove due to a broken bolt on install. Ground down, drilled and retapped and reinstalled. Cab removed. Cab sanded down and just some more minor things before primer. Goal is paint Saturday a.m.......as I think we're just about ready now.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
what did you use to attach the chains to the bed to lift it, is the wood and cross sill attached?

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
One of the PO's added some eyelets to the tops of the bed sides. The bed was pulled complete with wood floor. Took a little adjustment on the chains to get it balanced right, but wasn't any issue lifting it with the cherry picker.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Glenwood green from the factory and was resprayed at some other point just a hair lighter. Will be blue after this weekend. I can dig up the original paint code and chips tomorrow.
