Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Couple of projects wrapped up over the July 4th / B-day weekend. Also had a great bbq/ get together. Had 5 forum members there and 6 trucks. Waiting on pics from my neighbor who is a photographer.
Finished install on the hood harness. Got the truck cleaned up. Finished the carpet on the boat and got it registered. Just need to replace the water pump and it'll be ready for the water. And got the trailer parts pulled out and mocked up so I can see what I have and what I'll need. I have all the crossmembers and tail lights, so just looks like whatever I pick for flooring, paint and some new hardware and we should be in business.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
And a few pics of the trailer bed....
The bed is off of old member Sharp40s Ol Johnny Lee which was wrecked due to a front end t-bone. I was able to salvage the bed and hood the rest was pretty bad off. The forward bed panel was shot.....this one is covered in surface rust but solid. The tailgate also didn't come with the bed....was picked up from Perro out in CA....real nice solid tailgate. (it may end up on the stepside and that tailgate on this project before I'm done with it.) Worst damage is in pic 4....nice dent in the fender. Rest will work great for a matching trailer.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks Don. Its hard to keep up with all the projects sometimes. The trailer project has been a pile of parts up until last night. Nice to see it reassembled. Don't know why Rich blew it all apart, but works for me.

Tried to call Rich last week and his number has changed. He lives around 45 min north west of me, so I may just have to take the gamble and drive up and hope to catch him at the house.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Looking forward to the trailer project. Sorry I didn't make it out Monday. I ended up not getting my neighbors jeep back up either. We broke a bolt. I should be up and around on Saturday afternoon. I have a late flight Friday night.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Got my break in fluids ordered last night. So....as long as they come in by Saturday we should be able to fire the engine up.
Have help coming Saturday to bleed the brakes and clutch systems.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Finally got around to getting some paint on the last valve cover. Will complete the paint detail and fin clean up tonight. I have a small ring around the oil fill cap that will get painted black, same as the other cover. Looking forward to these being done. I have far more hours in prep and polish than they are worth, but the time will be worth it. I think they look great and will be a nice addition.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Hahaha.....right on. Nice thing is we have a gas station less than a mile away. So will make runs easy!! Tank was pulled when I painted the cab, so its been sitting empty. Guess I'll make a few trips with the 5 gal can and get at least 15 gal loaded up for break in.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Will be with open headers. Been lazy and need to crawl under the truck and finish the x-pipe to header install to finish the exhaust. Not that the exhaust will quiet the engine up much.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Flashback!!! Put my headers and exhaust back on about 2 weeks ago, tore it off and put back on again last week cause it didn't suit me. I hate exhaust work!
Say a prayer for you tonight!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
I always liked to break in an engine, first start up with mufflers, just in case the is a noise you can't here with open exhaust. have done it without also lol. I also do not run a thermostat and use just water and have a temp gauge hooked up. you probably know all of this stuff so happy brake-in.
