I got a few more bits and pieces on tonight.

Good Job!

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... http://images108.fotki.com/v1629/pho...SCN8273-vi.jpg |
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"
I gotta say, It's looking good

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.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I just caught your thread while looking for a project like mine and thought I would mention a couple things, late as they ma be, one is parks; I opted for disk in front for safety reasons and they are not that hard to install and the other is the four bar trailing arms which will allow you to install your fuel cel behind the cab inside the frame, here again safety, assuming this not a restoration. Looks real good :chevy:

I got both a-pillars, kick panels and rocker panels all welded in. I'm pretty happy with how they came out. Not professional by any means but what is ugly will either be hidden or metal bondo to make it presentable. With all that done I flipped the cab on its back so I could start cleaning the bottom and firewall and repaint and undercoat everything. http://images116.fotki.com/v617/phot.../photo9-vi.jpg http://images16.fotki.com/v368/photo.../photo4-vi.jpg http://images51.fotki.com/v278/photo...photo16-vi.jpg http://images61.fotki.com/v666/photo...photo22-vi.jpg http://images60.fotki.com/v224/photo...photo24-vi.jpg http://images60.fotki.com/v367/photo...photo20-vi.jpg http://images14.fotki.com/v380/photo.../photo6-vi.jpg I also got some new toys that have made this so much easier and cooler. http://images108.fotki.com/v1629/pho...photo23-vi.jpg http://images16.fotki.com/v388/photo...photo27-vi.jpg |
Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Rockers came out great, better than some of the professionals i've seen. The rolling frame look awesome, nice work, I am also using your pegboard idea to paint the nuts and bolts for the engine, Thanks for the ideas!

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Nice work....I got a box from top banana last week myself. Won't be far off and I'll be doing metal fab too.

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Those chassis photos look great. Remind me of the old Renwal chassis models that joined together with a Visible V8!

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
[QUOTE=bj383ss;6755320]Thank You I assume you are talking about the rust on the cab pillars. I am using Loctite Rust inhibitor. It turns all the rust to a hard black coating and is suppose to stop it.
Yah and in any other void that may not be reachable, I'm thinking of the space between the head liner and the cab roof. It has been my experience that area is notorious for rusting from the inside out. Whin I was in the Navy we used rust converter/inhibiter that I have not been able to lay hands on for years, glad to see you found some, how much was it? I need some for that headliner cavity. keep 'em coming. Bill:flagw:::chevy: |

hey bj383ss is this what u are using for blast media. I bought a sand blaster from harbor freight and the sand I bought a home depot quickly plugged the nozzle and do you sift it before you put it in the hopper. It seems like you have the blasting thing figured out.
Thanks |
Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
I ordered a replacement rocker for the pass side as I have a oem rocker for the driver side. Also ordered the full length inner which covers from the toe board to the cab corner. My upper inner rocker is solid, but the lower inner (under the cab) looks bad to say the least. Also ordered cab supports for the driver side. The pass side mounts look good. I have new rubber cab bushings to install when I get to that point. Goal this weekend is engine and trans set in place.

Todays work. Got the bottom of the cab stripped. What a nasty and PITA job! Glad its done. I a few holes to weld up and then primer and undercoat.
I spent about 30 minutes blowing air into the various holes on the rear cab supports. A ton of dirt and rocks and all kinds of stuff came out. It was unbelievable. I should have take a picture of the floor when I got done. No wonder the supports rust out. I even found one of those red straws that goes on the a can of WD40.

Great Work Brother...:metal:

Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Shot some primer on it this morning. It dried to fast on me so will have too shoot another coat and then some undercoating.
Ta2don I used your idea with the nails on three holes I had left. Worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3870/...4076ae04_h.jpg https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3854/...413829cb_h.jpg The Texas heat is starting to kick in so after lunch worked out in the woodshop making some new cabinets for the big garage. One down 7 more to go. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2905/...c65a77c6_h.jpg https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2933/...bf24a6e8_h.jpg Still need to make a shelf for it. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5565/...7ad0a6d4_h.jpg Parts cut for 3 more. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5571/...9ebd1aca_h.jpg Bret |
Re: 64 C10 Stepside "Jaybird"
Looks like just the very bottom of the driver side a piller will need work. I'll really know more once I take the outer rocker off. Was looking at it again from under the truck when grinding crossmember rivets sunday......my total will be:
Driver side: inner/outer rocker, small piece of toe board not covered by full length inner rocker (which also takes care of cab corner), both cab supports and lower a piller. Pass side: outer rocker and forward cab support, small floor work, but won't need a whole panel, just 2-3 small places. |
