I am looking forward to the 348 build also. I've always wanted to do a 348 short fleet bbw and now I have most of the pieces needed. Looks like I even found the last piece of the 1960 trim to complete the set also!!! So stay tuned for that one.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
lol. Yeah, I got my 66 some 9 years ago in 2006 and it wasn't until 2011 when I started working on it...and now 4 years later and finally actually restoring it this summer after 4 years of driving it and tinkering around. Funny I didn't find this forum until 2 years of playing with that thing. lol And I can't believe its already been 2 years since I got my 64 chevy parts rig.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Someone asked me about how far down the headers I used hung below the frame, but I can't find the thread....so I'll post it here. These headers would not be ideal for a lowered truck. I show 4 1/2" below the frame with the lowest point being the header collector/ reducer. Heres a pic to help. Don't mind the exhaust looking slanted....I have not completed the exhaust yet and the 1st set of pipes leading to the x pipe are just resting inside the butt clamps

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
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.

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

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yeah.....I couldn't really remember how low they hung. I sit at stock height, so wasn't an issue for me, but I can see how it'll effect a lowered truck.

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.
