Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looking good! I hope you get some smooth paint down with all the control burns and pollen this weekend. Wouldn't want a your truck to turn back to green. LOL I finally got my POL control arms in. They look great. I will have to post some pics. I am hoping to get by next weekend. I am all booked up this weekend.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got primer and paint done on core support and front fenders. Test fit everything last nice and drilled additional holes for the 63 grill since its a 61 core. Couple small runs in clear and 2 small pieces of trash, but it'll pass for my hand.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Really want her up and running without cutting quality. Put some long hours in today.
im pleased with the fan to radiator clearance for a lwp big block and no firewall or radiator mods. Valve covers have an inch clearance.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
And just my luck. The color is a bit darker on the front end. The paint company I was dealing with was thought to be closed, but just moving so I ended up buying from a different company. I have since located where the other company has moved too and will have the correct color today. Sucks...but nothing that can't be fixed. Not a bad issue compared to some I've dealt with...just a PITA, but I want it right....so the front sheetmetal will come back off this week and the paint will be ready to pick up today. Shame too as it laid down nice.
Just have to respray the front fenders and core.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
haha...thanks. Yeah sucks, but I don't mind paint issues. If it had been a hair lighter I'd probably just left it alone.....but its noticeable. Much easier than frame work and yanking engines.
But I agree.....does look good.

And yes....luckily I didn't paint the hood too. Ill respray the front end since the cab and interior match already and still have the bed to do.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Man I hate having to do stuff over like that. I had just finished my paint job when I knocked over the spray gun (with the lid off) and threw paint all over the back of the truck!
Your truck sure does look nice, getting really close to being able to take it out for a cruise!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Had to mow a few acres last night, so truck work was minimal. Didn't have time to complete fender removal so I started on the inner door panel inserts. Used a good tape, but still had some minor bleed through on the lines, but it'll clean up nicely. Most of the stuff in the pic is glare from the light. Started on cleaning up the lines this a.m. and i'll get it done tonight. I think the solid panels are just too much inside the cab, so doing the white inserts on the door panels and glovebox door.
1st panel sprayed and i'll be on the 2nd tonight. Very happy with the color of white on the blue. Went with "classic white". The seat has the white center stripe also so should look great installed and will definitely break up the solid blue inside the cab.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
The fenders and core looked real good to bad the color was off a little. The white on the door panel is a nice breakup and will look good!

Front end although time consuming and a bummer will pan out in the long run. I hate going forward in reverse....but my OCD won't let it ride like it is, so definitely getting repainted. Nice thing is at least the body work is done on the front end!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Sounds good TJ. Be sure to get some pics up. I sure wish someone could make a removable template for the glove box and door inserts......

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Not to bad eric. I new it was a gamble since it wasnt the same supplier, just hoped the color would have been closer. Got the right stuff now, so small detour, but back on it. Hows your truck coming? I need to come check it out one of these days.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I got the parts for the front end in last week, but I had prior plans. I spent a couple of days learning to weld and welding aluminum. I am planning on spending some time redoing the front end next weekend. Then the motor and trans mock-up.
