Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Thanks for the nice comments guys, I think I got a decent deal on the tailgate. I worked on making the new support braket for my inner fender last night. Im not going to spot weld it back in until after I sandblast the inner fender though. All that work spent on something that will never be seen when put together. Heres a few pics, I even posted a pic of my metal brake, LOL

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Ever since I heard how bad these new after market radiater supports fit I had to put my front end together and see if mine would fit ok. I got all the bolts started and then I had to pick up on the cab and position it a little better. My radiater support leans back also but everything bolted up nice and I think its going to be ok. Only thing I didnt do is put the hood on, didnt have any help around for that. Also check out the washer they sent in the bolt kit for the radiater support, last pic.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
nice job man... it's funny, I think we are chasing the same parts sometimes. I got a hood and bed tubs from the same guy (I think) you got the tailgate from (in Cary)...and I swear those are the doors I tried to get a while back but I missed them...looks like they wen to a good home.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Your truck is coming together nice. I remember when I was at the same spot in my build. I put my fender on without having one of my doors set right. Good luck!

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
nice work tony, starting to look like a truck again are you going to dis-assemble it again for paint?

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Thanks Flips, Yes I will pull it back apart for paint. I still have to sandblast the other inner fender and paint them both. I just stuck the front end together to get everything lined up and fitted.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Just a small update. pretty boring stuff, I welded up some holes someone drilled in the kickpanel, one on the back of the cab, and a few more here and there. I did try out Alans trick welding a nut on the inside of the sheetmetal to fix a threaded hole. works great, thanks

You got really good fabrication skills, are you doing all your own body work also?

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Thanks chevy88. Yeah im doing all my own work. I cant afford to pay anyone. lol, I am doing all my own body work also. Im slow at it but just have to take my time and it should turn out good.
Thanks flips, you need a new project, Im off work for a few days, I finally finished stripping the paint off the dash and sanded the kick panels tonight. I took a wire brush to the underside and backside of the dash the best I could. I bought some spray can eastwood rust encapsulater to paint the surface rust under there. Hope tomorrow I can push the truck out and blow it off, wipe it down and paint under the dash.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
nice sunny day today in the mid 50s. I got to push the truck out of the shop and blow all the dust and mess off of it. I wiped down under and behind the dash with wax and grease remover and blew it off again. Used eastwood rust encapsulator to paint over the light surface rust under and behind the dash. Pushed the truck back in the shop and started some bodywork tonight. Still not finished yet but its a start.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
I like the work your doing. Once I finish my son's truck, we are going to start working on mine again. Ill have to do some floors and rockers and lower front fenders, but that should be about it on the rust repair.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Hey Guys, Its been a while since I posted on here. Been super busy with work and the family. I haven't worked on the truck too much all this year. I have got a few things done. Some body work and epoxy primmer and painted the firewall. Put the motor and trans in last weekend.

Re: My 64 C-10 fleetside shortbed build
Hey Guys! Been a while since I posted anything. I have been busy with work and family. I have been tinkering a little on the truck here and there. Got all new brakes, wheel cyl, bearings, seals, and drums done. I mounted the power steering pump and lines. I also fabbed up a top radiator mount. my truck is lowered 3 inch drop springs in the front. My question is what shocks do I need to run? someone said factory shocks will work but I remember someone on here having a part number for a shorter shock from the parts store. thanks!
