Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
So the moment finally came!
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4779/...e5498228_b.jpg20180308_085140 by bjohnson388, on Flickr So there are 2 parts. The end of the first one I dropped the screwdriver I was using to change gears. I am about to order my new shifter. And dang it if I didn't leave the fender cover hanging on the front. :lol: https://youtu.be/te-B126jofI https://youtu.be/3nSQnY-xYVQ thanks for stopping in. |
Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Working on getting the corner patch to fit good. Which was difficult it was not bent properly which doesn't surprise me.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4772/...af2d3e0b_b.jpg20180311_125806 by bjohnson388, on Flickr It's hard to see but the very bottom curve did not go down and line up at all. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...ef3b542d_b.jpg20180311_125802 by bjohnson388, on Flickr This left side corner fit really good once it was pulled up tight. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4781/...51c92cb4_b.jpg20180311_125756 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Drilled 1/4" holes for the plug welds to the inside corner brace. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4785/...3bb5d61e_b.jpg20180311_131812 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4780/...3e80865e_b.jpg20180311_131816 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Cleaned up where the plugs welds will be. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4800/...f257ace9_b.jpg20180311_132155 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Stitching it in place. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4793/...07c799a5_b.jpg20180311_140005 by bjohnson388, on Flickr After final cleanup not to bad. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4791/...de16e29a_b.jpg20180311_145809 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Little mud and no one will know what happened here. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4777/...6475582c_b.jpg20180311_145805 by bjohnson388, on Flickr This side was alot harder to clean the welds up do to it being difficult to get the grinders in there. Will go over with some metal to metal to finish it out. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4775/...28df4e1d_b.jpg20180311_145819 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Came out right on at 6" https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4784/...3fe77f2d_b.jpg20180311_145850 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Next up was pulling the skin off. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4772/...bcf5705c_b.jpg20180311_150458 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Nasty https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4778/...8ab6812c_b.jpg20180311_151113 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4784/...8429fff8_b.jpg20180311_151119 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Taped off the for the cut.

It sagged afterwards that is no bueno. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4772/...8613a814_b.jpg20180311_161401 by bjohnson388, on Flickr So will cut it up here at my 25" marks I made to line up the bottom of the door. Should actually be easier to line the new skin up because it will fit down into the belt line. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4793/...2121abc9_b.jpg20180311_161456 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Can't wait to this done.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
The interior side of the door is 99% done. Still have some bodywork to do on the outside skin where I grafted it together.
I ended up having a major debacle with the skin that I am not going to share but I found a solution even though it caused me a lot more work. Outer skin welded in. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/788/3...2528c1e3_b.jpg20180314_185205 by bjohnson388, on Flickr After 3 days of cutting, welding and grinding inside the shed it was a mess and disorganized so I had to stop this morning and do some major cleaning and organizing. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/813/4...05607ed4_b.jpg20180315_100614 by bjohnson388, on Flickr I built this quick and dirty pegboard organizer to get stuff off the bench and just using it this afternoon has been so much easier to stay organized and clean. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4779/...6ec08bce_b.jpg20180315_100619 by bjohnson388, on Flickr This lower door hinge had alot of slop in it so out comes the old pin. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/813/2...d0f7cb66_b.jpg20180315_114032 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Yeah I would say the bushings are wore just a little. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4794/...b687265f_b.jpg20180315_120126 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Quick trip to the sandblaster. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/792/4...43026451_b.jpg20180315_121923 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Some Primer https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...78ba88ba_b.jpg20180315_123435 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Pin was a little too long. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4786/...63984624_b.jpg20180315_142000 by bjohnson388, on Flickr That's much better. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4782/...ceca702e_b.jpg20180315_142600 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Brand new hinge ready for another 54 years of use. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/784/3...6e08136a_b.jpg20180315_142819 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Quick test fit. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4795/...3660aa87_b.jpg20180315_150046 by bjohnson388, on Flickr This poor old truck hasn't had a driver door on it since Nov' of 2013. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/817/4...38194132_b.jpg20180315_150025 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Everything looks better in primer. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/818/2...2a0e2ea7_b.jpg20180315_175236 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4783/...64232a66_b.jpg20180315_175231 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Original state of the door bottom. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2902/...16b8fc44_b.jpgDSCN7664 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Bret |
Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I slaved all week on the driver door and while I am not going to get it painted it is damn close to being ready.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/821/2...aea5126b_b.jpg20180318_161412 by bjohnson388, on Flickr It was really hard to take a decent photo of it but I just shot 2 heavy coats of filler primer on it so I can block sand it tomorrow and fix any small imperfections. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/806/4...03ef27be_b.jpg20180318_160812 by bjohnson388, on Flickr The inside is 100% ready to shot color on. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/787/3...90904665_b.jpg20180318_161422 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Hanging it from the ceiling worked out really well I was able to shot both sides at the same time. I was even thinking when I shot the color since I will be painting the outside and inside different colors I could put both doors back to back and paint them at the same time. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/798/2...7027b358_b.jpg20180318_160714 by bjohnson388, on Flickr I covered everything up this time so I wouldn't have overspray everywhere like last time when I shot the grille support. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/811/2...549aff7e_b.jpg20180318_160723 by bjohnson388, on Flickr I also got my Lokar shifter in and somewhat installed.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I am keeping the speaker holes so I did some finish work around them and got my speaker fitting pretty damn good. Going to paint the speaker grilles interior color to make them blend in better. These pictures were taken before the previous 2 coats of filler primer were sprayed.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Hole cut in the hump and test fitted it.
Used a 3 1/4" hole saw. The biggest I had. The boot instructions said up to a 4 " hole could be cut. So I still had a little grinding on the edge to get it perfect. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/783/4...9666ca82_b.jpg20180323_183346 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...ec3cf76c_b.jpg20180323_183355 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/819/2...dbb8e456_b.jpg20180323_184548 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4776/...c09df2a7_b.jpg20180323_184554 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4774/...41417637_b.jpg20180323_184614 by bjohnson388, on Flickr And with that I primed the bottom of the hump and tomorrow after work I will get the undercoating sprayed on and then install it for good and cover it in peel in stick. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4775/...445584f4_b.jpg20180323_185807 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Bret |
Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
My 4" lowering springs for the 64 showed up. Wow what a huge difference they make. I need to pull the Caprice out of the garage and get a better side shot for comparison.
So they arrived entangled together. I spent over 30 minutes trying to get them apart and scratched the paint. The wife comes out and separates them in 30 SECONDS!. I WAS ABOUT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT! https://farm1.staticflickr.com/796/3...6c17bbbc_b.jpg20180324_155514 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/790/3...d57bc6e6_b.jpg20180324_181153 by bjohnson388, on Flickr What a huge difference to the factory.

This is one of the coolest things I have bought for the truck. No rust and no damage. Fits damn near perfect and shuts and opens like a dream. It will be even better when the door seals get broke in. Only thing I had to do was enlarge the holes for the door latch. I guess the replacement door latches have smaller screws. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1759/...7db31306_b.jpg20180618_183549 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/879/2...9e39486c_b.jpg20180618_183542 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Also got a brand new rear bed sill. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1801/...fc4bb77e_b.jpg20180618_152318 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Door was packaged really well. Much better than the door skin I bought. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/880/4...e505d7b4_b.jpg20180618_152239 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1722/...54271969_b.jpgD5 by bjohnson388, on Flickr https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1783/...880c539f_b.jpgD7 by bjohnson388, on Flickr Bret |

That Door looks like it fits nice. Where did you buy it and do you know who made it?
