Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks! I just got home from deployment and can't wait to get started working on it again. My wife got me a bunch of parts in my bed waiting to install.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Finally was able to work on the truck today. So I cut off the bent and broken horn and welded on the replacement. I also installed the windows seals and rear view mirrors. I still have a few more things to do before I can go get the exhaust done and start driving it.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Where did you get the replacement horns? Mine are mangled.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I bought a bumper from another member and I asked him to cut the horns off. It didn't take long to do.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I finally got around to dropping the column and remounting the turn signal switch. The cable I used was from a 62 Impala and it was too short. So I cut the cable sleeve and mounted the switch closer to the steering wheel. It works now. I still need to get my horn to work and get a new exhaust before I can go get it inspected.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks for the comments. For the past two days I have been working on repainting the front grill. I used duple-color and the clear for some reason was sticky and go all kinds of trash in it so I sanded it and repainted it with semi gloss white. Something happened and the paint bubbled up. So I guess I will strip it down to the metal and start over. I would do it but I'm going to look at a 2014. I am thinking about trading in my 2010.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I worked on my grill today. I had it painted before but the duple-color clear didn't dry right and had a bunch of trash in it. I painted it with rustoleum semi-closs white and it took a while to get it right. For some reason the cans are so full you can't rattle the can until you spray out about a1/4 of it. The first 1/4 comes out with globs and it kept messing up my paint job. I also added the blue letters to the grill. Since I got it out I washed it , it was real dirty setting inside the garage. Here is a pic of it with my new 2014.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Looks good John. Nice new one as well. I assume you will be modding it as well to fit your taste like your 2010.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Yes a little, I already switched the wheels when I got it. Next is rear leveling shackle then brake caliper covers then color match bow ties. I thank will be it for this ride. I am tempted to color match all the chrome again. These trucks look sick with no chrome on them. The blue truck is coming along ok. I need to finish the door panels and get the horn to work. I think I need all new parts to make it work. Let me know when you are going to paint, I learned some things with spraying that flatz.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Painted and installed my door panels yesterday. I had to pull the window regulator apart two times yesterday because the window coming off the track. I can't wait to get to a stopping point. I still have to fix the radio mount and touch up all the over spray on the doors..

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I had to take that pic. I pulled the 62 outside to do a wood project for my wife and I saw them together and had to shoot it. That 14 has come along way from that 62. The funny thing is my 14 power steering went out (all electrical) and in the shop. The 62 is still going!

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I am finally working on the radio mount. I should have done this when the truck was in the fab/ metal stage but now I'm doing it. The truck had a dealer installed radio in it from another car. So the holes are not cut right and off center so the new radio won't fit correctly. So I cut it out and started to weld it in. It's not done yet but here is the start of the taking process. I hope to get it welded in tomorrow. I sold some of my 2010 parts so now I can get an exhaust for the truck.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Looks good John. Is that a patch panel or did you make it? I think I will do the same to mine. I didn't really want to use the whole patch panel they sell. I have thought about filling in the ash tray hole and fitting some gauges there. There is no use for an ash tray in my truck.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Bret, it's a patch panel that I cut. I didn't want to replace the whole thing either. Thanks, TJ!

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Finished the radio mount today. It came out good but the pic isn't good. I need to order the speaker mounts for the kick panels and get it hooked up to the radio. I also took the truck to the exhaust shop to get a glass pack installed. I pick it up tomorrow and it will be ready to get inspected. I'm having surgery so I won't get it done until Aug.
I will post pics of the exhaust after I pick it up. ![]() ![]() ![]()
