Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I am about to mount my aluminium radiator and need some help. I noticed your mount on your rad and am in need of one like that. Mine was for a lower mounted radiator.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Its a factory v8 upper radiator mount. Check the classifieds, I saw one posted there on a parts truck a day or two ago.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Another late night off work, but got a few minutes to work on the hood. Fixed two dents with the hammer and dolly. Have one dent on the driver front corner that was mudded over. A crack to weld on the passenger corner and only 3 pin holes found. So hope to have it done and in primer this weekend. This is a solid hood for what we see around these parts.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yes, it will be welded up. Haven't gotten to it yet. Hoping this week. I need to strip the hood 1st, but cleaning up the area around the crack it looks like welding will resolve it without adding any metal. The two small pinholes look like they'll take a small weld too. Other than that its pretty straight.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Couple more of the hood. The boat actually makes a good work platform as I can raise and lower the frame with the jack. Will have to be moved to spray though.

If it works, it works. Until the shop if fully up I have to be unconventional sometimes.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Weather didn't cooperate this weekend, but I did get the passenger door and trim on the cab done.
Started with the window visor, passenger side mirror arm & mirror, door trim and back cab trim.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Last pic of door mock up for trim. Upper and side clips are 3/16" and accept nuts on them. The lowers are 1/2" trim clips that push into a 1/4" hole.
Back cab trim takes the 5/8" clips with the foam seal. They are hard to find, or were at least for me. I was only able to find 6 nos clips of ebay. If anyone knows a source, please share.

Nice stockpile of hoods. I'll be needing to find a better donar for the fleetside or replace the entire snout with the patch panels. Mid-Atlantic region is brutal on sheetmetal.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
And finally the installed pics. I did the same with the back cab install. Tape down, traced the trim, marked where I wanted the mounting holes and drilled. Trim installed.
The back cab trim had a couple of small dings. I worked out what I could, but it may go to a professional restorer down the road to get 100% correct. I have the same issue with the back cab trim for th efleetside. Door seals still have the doors out about 1/2", but they have compressed quite a bit. They were out almost an 1" when I first installed them. Doors closed and the heat picking up has helped a bunch. I think we'll be good in the next week or two on the door gap.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looks like the rain has pushed off for a day or two....so should be back on the hood tonight.
Also got the brake push rod fixed this weekend. Was about 3/4" short, so got a 7/16" fine thread bolt 1 1/2" length and cut the head off. Took a 3/8" barrel nut, drilled it out, retapped for 7/16 fine and it put me back in business. Will work on bleeding the clutch mc tonight also.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Spent an hour and a half and got half the hood stripped. Found a little more damage to repair, but nothing that I can't handle. Couple more low spots to work out and one dent on the front drivers corner. Little bit of welding and it'll be good as new.
Still a really good donar for these parts and happy to see so much good steel after 52 years.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I'm using scuff pads made for the grinder and its doing a pretty good job. I'll go over the seams with a wire wheel on the drill and call it good.
