Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Color match looks good as everybody has said. When i bought my paint (2gal) i was going to put both in a 5gal bucket and mix it together, just to make sure both gals would be the same. Never did it lol--but it's the only way to make sure it's the same. my outdoor booth worked ok like yours too! Looking better every post.

I have seen trucks painted inside that don't hold a finish to my outdoor paint project. People always seem so shocked to see it was painted outside. Hell, the whole trucks been built under the carport. Fleetside will be done in the barn though. But, I think the finish speaks for itself....

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looks much better. I got a lot done this weekend. New front control arms and hung the engine.

The paint looks good. You are knocking it out of the park.

Yeah me too, was about due for one. Takes a lot to get where it is and progress seems slow at times, but I just keep on keeping on!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Just barely....I had to go look through my pics to see if I had any good shots of them on the frame. I'll have to get some better pics tonight to show their orientation for you. This one shows them, but not real good.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Not much progress last night. Was a late night off from work. Did get the vintage bug screen in. Its not an OEM GM part, but it is a vintage early 60's aftermarket and American made.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Also got the passenger side cast iron mirror arm and head ready to install. Door is marked, just need to drill and mount.
Went ahead and showed the markings cast in the bottom for the die hard gurus. These numbers don't mean much to me, but I know a lot of the purist keep up with stuff like that and since the passenger side arms rarely come up figured I'd document it.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
And finally the tank cover that I've spent two days trying to fold right. And a week with boxes on top to get flat as it came rolled up. Does clean it up quite a bit.
If I had to do it again I would source a siding brake to make the top line straight. I'm not unhappy with it, but did sustain a 1" tear at the top center where the fuel sending unit wire comes through. Best I could get it to look and it'll stay. Have considered getting some speaker carpet and covering it......50/50. I looked at all the factory pics in the thread on these and they show the tabs on the back of the cab facing down. I took mine and ran them up the cab. I just think it looks better. This one didn't come out bad, but a straighter fold would have eliminated the wavy line.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Kool... The headers I currently have come out the frame big time. I'm talking about a full 3.5"!! This is going to be a problem for me when I go that extra inch lower, so I'm trying to plan ahead and purchase some new headers.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Haha....I have to quit adding factory options before I can print it. I do have a list assembled of the options and factory codes and do eventually plan to do one though.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yeah, mine aren't that bad. Haven't taken a measurement of how far they hang. But I can get some pics and numbers for you tonight.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Your comment had me looking back through my own thread TJ. 1st pic is June 2009, just brought her home, new tires and got her running.
Next two pics are April 2009.... a year from today when I started the resto....and last two are from where it sits today.
