Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Thanks for the comments guys. I finally have all the parts I need to finish putting the front suspension back together and also mount the engine and trans. I couldn't help my self I mounted the trans crossmember I ordered and mocked up the engine and trans. 2 bolt holes lined up for the crossmember so I only had to drill 2 more. Its a CPP crossmember I bought it on ebay and got the poly mount free and free shipping.

I just caught your thread while looking for a project like mine and thought I would mention a couple things, late as they ma be, one is parks; I opted for disk in front for safety reasons and they are not that hard to install and the other is the four bar trailing arms which will allow you to install your fuel cel behind the cab inside the frame, here again safety, assuming this not a restoration. Looks real good

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I know right. It will not be driven in the rain that is for sure.

I got both a-pillars, kick panels and rocker panels all welded in. I'm pretty happy with how they came out. Not professional by any means but what is ugly will either be hidden or metal bondo to make it presentable. With all that done I flipped the cab on its back so I could start cleaning the bottom and firewall and repaint and undercoat everything. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I also got some new toys that have made this so much easier and cooler. ![]() ![]()

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Rockers came out great, better than some of the professionals i've seen. The rolling frame look awesome, nice work, I am also using your pegboard idea to paint the nuts and bolts for the engine, Thanks for the ideas!

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Those chassis photos look great. Remind me of the old Renwal chassis models that joined together with a Visible V8!

I love the fan. It is belt driven so its not that loud and it moves a ton of air. 13,400 cfm on high. I haven't even used high yet. My Mother in Law bought it for me from Lowes. I think it was $299. Worth every penny in my opinion and it will make it bearable to work through this month and next month during what I call "winter months" here in Texas. So damn hot you can't walk to the car without sweating.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
[QUOTE=bj383ss;6755320]Thank You I assume you are talking about the rust on the cab pillars. I am using Loctite Rust inhibitor. It turns all the rust to a hard black coating and is suppose to stop it.
Yah and in any other void that may not be reachable, I'm thinking of the space between the head liner and the cab roof. It has been my experience that area is notorious for rusting from the inside out. Whin I was in the Navy we used rust converter/inhibiter that I have not been able to lay hands on for years, glad to see you found some, how much was it? I need some for that headliner cavity. keep 'em coming. Bill ![]() ![]() |

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
hey bj383ss is this what u are using for blast media. I bought a sand blaster from harbor freight and the sand I bought a home depot quickly plugged the nozzle and do you sift it before you put it in the hopper. It seems like you have the blasting thing figured out.
Thanks

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I ordered a replacement rocker for the pass side as I have a oem rocker for the driver side. Also ordered the full length inner which covers from the toe board to the cab corner. My upper inner rocker is solid, but the lower inner (under the cab) looks bad to say the least. Also ordered cab supports for the driver side. The pass side mounts look good. I have new rubber cab bushings to install when I get to that point. Goal this weekend is engine and trans set in place.
