Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks Tj. The green is really nice. I'd have to see a paint sample in person 1st though before I commit to it. And hood will be done this week.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Tropical storm over us all weekend, but did get the single speed wiper motor replaced on Saturday with an original 63 2 speed and with washer option thanks to Austin for the extra hands.
Also got the unity ch h1 spotlight installed on the 12" shaft and ready for install

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Spent Sunday working on the hood after a lazy morning sleeping in. Will have the hood completed this week and planning on painting this weekend.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Yeah....I've actually began to like painting. Just don't like all the work that leads up to it.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I am liking the progress. I really like the green for the other truck. That has always been one of my favorite colors on these trucks.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Austin and I did find that a big truck 2 speed wiper will work on a c-10. Only difference was the wiper transmission arm. The big truck linkage index's different than the c10s do. I have posted pics of the difference in the two. The wiper motor is indexed correct for the c10 and you can see how the big truck linkage index's 90* off and is quite a bit longer.
But anyways. We now have 2 speeds and wiper washer option. Just thought I'd show the difference in the motors to save someone else the headache in case they source a good motor from a large truck.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I have the original hood still, but it needs twice the work of this one. This one came off an old forum members truck ol general lee when he was quote " t-boned by an unregistered democrat". He was able to purchase the total truck and I got the hood and bed (for a trailer project).
The original hood is now on my 63 short fleet that needed a hood as its original is in even worse shape.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Couple of pics of the "new" spotlight on the correct shaft. Opted for the small black handle over the long white one I was running originally.
I'm really liking this one better than the S-6 model.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Its not much smaller than the S-6, but maybe an inch or so. It's more correct than the S-6 also, but I haven't found the correct CH model for less than $400-$600. Unfortunately we have to contend with the 58 car guys for these.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Also an update on a little project I worked on last week. I had to convert to the V8 style linkage for the big block. The factory small block linkage will work just fine and leaves plenty of adjustment.
The issue I had and saw on several potential donar linkages was that the metal rod starts to distort the hole in the accelerator bracket that mounts to the firewall. What I did to fix this was to drill it out one size larger and added a 55-57 GM car linkage bushing in. I did have to trim the bushing down (just used a razor blade and trimmed around 1/4" off) so the cotter pin would still fit through. Took maybe 15min total but it works really smooth now. Will install tonight if not off late. Nice thing is the bushings are readily available, so if it ever breaks or wears out its an easy fix to replace.

Do you have any interest in two S-6 heads with long shafts....I believe around 15" shafts. I don't have any use for the S-6 parts anymore. Also have a long white handle and cap.....someone needed one, just can't remember who.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks for the consideration, but I've already got a bunch of spare S6 parts waiting for someone to need them. Those CH heads a really beautiful, but well beyond my budget. I'm afraid I'll just have to admire them from afar!
