I got some color on the Engine and trans this evening. I am in love with both colors. I was worried the green was to dark but in my opinion it is perfect. It will really look awesome with the finned valve covers and oil pan. And I plan on detailing the bolts or buying an ARP engine kit. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope the paint sticks. I prepped real well. Degreased everything and then use a Grease wax remover twice. Tomorrow's plan is to get the oil pan, valve covers, front cover, water pump, and intake blasted and some paint on them. Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
More blasting and painting with Green. I am enjoying painting with a color other than black.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Bret, I glad to see you are going with the green on the engine. I guess you are going to make it look original under the hood? I think it will make the truck look good. Good job!

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Hey John thanks for looking in. I'm not going for a stock look, more of a 60's custom Hot Rod look. I just saw someone's engine on here painted with this green and fell in love. I think it is going to look awesome with the finned valve covers and oil pan I plan to get. Will be using the stock pieces for now though. Its a cool color and different from everything else you see. No more Orange!
Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Spent most of the day cleaning engine fasteners, painting, and cleaning and organizing garage.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The engine mounts look to be in good shape but they had Orange overspray on them so I just shot them with low gloss black. ![]() Have to run by my dads and get my stash of gaskets and should be able to button the whole engine up on this weekend. Also placed a few orders for the parts I need to finish the front suspension and install the engine and trans. Vacation starts in 14 days! Bret

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I really like what you're doing with the engine too. It's also going to look great with finned aluminum components as well.

Had a buddy stop by and we rewired his boat trailer and then the wife and MIL made me a late Father's day lunch. It was a great day. I keep thinking at some point I am going to run out of parts to sandblast and paint. I guess it will be done then... ![]()

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Diggin the paint. Engine looks really clean and classic too. Transmission came out great as well. I almost regret not doing mine in a nice metal color.

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.
