Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks, and yeah....that's the downside of wanting a "pretty engine bay" as my wife calls it.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Its no problem. Once I fixed the bracket clearance I realized the hole on the carb bracket I was going to use was for the push style system and ours pulls the throttle back.....so did some online image searches and found the ball/stud style helm on ebay for like $4 shipped. Had to drill out rhe carb bracket, but its all buttoned up and feels good.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Finally got the call I've been waiting on. American Autowire just called and my new harness is enroute. Should see either Saturday (if I'm lucky) or Monday. So goal is to get the engine to fire over the 4th of July holiday.
Nothing done yesterday. Had to go pick up a new project from my father in laws house, so wasn't home until around 930 last night. 16' Fisher Hawk Special 40hp and 40# thrust trollin motor.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Crappy pic, was late. I've got a pic of the internet that's the same model as mine too show what it will look like when cleaned up.
Will need new carpets and seats redone. Batteries still good even though sitting for 3 years. Will need a new water pump and tires, which is a pretty easy fix and shake down any other little gremlins I come across.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Right on. I have the mirror arm, literature, door plug.....and I feel like I'm missing something in a flat rate box. I'll have to get out early to load the truck and will take two trips into post office to unload.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looking forward to them. Saw the one you posted earlier. Nice to see another fender mounted spare truck getting back on the road.
Heat index has been 105-115 lately down here. No fun until after 7pm.

Looking forward to seeing my harness today. Hope that UPS delivers as expected.
Hoping to get the engine fired in the next week. Man, I can't wait.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Harness's did show up Friday. And then it rained the next 36 hours. So....switched gears to the boat under the barn. Got the back half of the panels removed and recarpeted. Got the panels reinstalled yesterday and the new seats in. Still have to do the rod box and two forward decks / hatches.
Then back on the stepside. Got the forward harness installed and the harness mounted down. American Autowire did a great job on the harness. The alternator line now runs across the firewall and down the top of the passenger valve cover. Looks very clean and still retains the originality on the look of the harness. Very satisfied!!! So just need to bleed clutch and brakes, add fluids and ready to fire.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks guys. No new updates on the truck. Rain hasn't been playing nice for the couple of things I need to do under the truck.
Have gotten more boat work done though trying to stay busy at least. Ran out of light quick once that storm hit us last night. I'm pleased with the carpet so far, but its not an easy job. The glue bonds so quick once the carpet is laid on the panels. You don't have much time to work out wrinkles. Then its constant massage with a block of wood to keep it flat until the glue cures. Looks great, but a lot of follow up work once the carpets on. Looking forward to some fishing soon!!!
