I used the high heat paint from Oreilly's. I can't remember the brand, but I will check when I go back there next. I know the color was called "Cast-Iron", but it came out with a greenish tone. |

The thing in the red circle is a charcoal canister.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Just noticed you're a fellow OC guy. Looks like this truck is coming along nicely! I'll look forward to givin' a big thumbs up when I see you cruisin' PCH sometime.
Keep up the good work dude! Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 84 C10 Project
Been a while since I posted or even worked on my truck. But here are some updates. I am planning on getting it painted this summer, so I finally got the new doors (with full power) hung, and aligned.
I want to paint it that copper color that comes on the corvettes. SO, bodywork will start soon. I need to find a new bed, and a new hood. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2480944_n.jpg |
Re: 84 C10 Project
Found a bed on craigslist yesterday. Straight with no rust and already has the fuel doors shaved, with a opening in the bed for the filler neck.
Got it for $220 with the tailgate. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3186313_n.jpg |
Re: 84 C10 Project
not bad

Re: 84 C10 Project
I think once the bed is off, I am going to airbag the rear and prime the rear of the cab.

Re: 84 C10 Project
I ordered some of the bag components..... well enough to bag it and use schrader valves for now. I still need tanks, valves and compressors. I just wanted to get the bags and brackets on while the bed was off.
I ordered the brackets & c-notch from KP Components and will be using Slam Specialties SS-7 bags. Should be here all next week. I am keeping everything under the bed. |
Re: 84 C10 Project
great progress man,.. truck is gonna look really nice all bagged looking foward to se more progress man keep the pics coming and great job so far.....

Re: 84 C10 Project
Thanks. I also want to repaint the frame when the bed is off, but I am also considering the POR15. I have never used it, but the end result looks good and seems easy to do.
What would you all recommend? |
Re: 84 C10 Project
I like it alot!
|
Re: 84 C10 Project
Parts came in from KP Components. Can't wait to get the bed off and start on the suspension and cleaning up the frame.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Got the bed pulled and ready to c-noth and airbag the rear. I am looking to POR15 the rear frame, but have read mixed reviews.
What do you guys thing of using that stuff? Does it adhere Ok? How is the satin black color? Does it lay down consistently? What is the best way to apply? https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4310220_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._3231205_n.jpg |
Re: 84 C10 Project
Got the c-notch in. Next will be to weld it up, and start making the crossmember for the bag brackets. I still have not decided on how I will be painting the frame, whether it be POR15 or some sort of chassis paint from Eastwood or Summit. I will be wire wheeling to remove all the paint first though.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Took some time today to do some renderings to start deciding on what color I want to paint the truck. Here are a few ideas. I am going to be running door handles, just haven't added them yet. I am planning on taking (2) front bumpers and piecing them together in order to remove the license plate pocket. If I run a rear bumper, I will be doing the same back there.
Dark Red with Dark Charcoal Wheel Centers https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2519305_n.jpg Dark Red with Brushed Wheel Centers https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6566141_n.jpg Orange with Brushed Wheel Centers https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._8204878_n.jpg Yellow with Dark Charcoal Wheel Centers https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4632022_n.jpg |

Re: 84 C10 Project

Re: 84 C10 Project
Got the rear airbag setup pretty much done. I still have to figure out where I am going to mount shocks. I haven't tried it yet, but I was told the 1-1/2 square tube will fit underneath the bed.

Re: 84 C10 Project
will any of this setup interfere with the bed?
|
Re: 84 C10 Project
That is my concern, but a local air suspension shop (a friend of a friend) said it would not. Is it possible to maybe measure the space between your bed and frame in that area where I have the crossmember? It is placed right above the drivers side shock mount. That would be a huge help if you were able to.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Thanks for checking. It is hard to do that when my bed is upside down.... it is hard to reference exactly where that is.
Maybe I can remove that bed brace??? So, there is no room, it comes right down onto the frame? If that bed brace was gone, would there be enough room for that 1-1/2" square tube? |
