Re: 1963 C-10 SWB BBW Fleetside in NC

Chains came out great after a 3 day soak in vinegar. I've changed my formula up a little....75% vinegar and 25% clr. It has cut the soak time down around 30% and the parts come out just as nice. Rust prevention and primer/paint this weekend.

Goal is to just reassembly the truck and replace what parts are missing and get it to start, stop and steer while I complete the stepside.

Had to straighten out a few links, but I think the OEM chains will stay around for awhile. I normally replace w/stainless steel, but to just get the truck complete...these will work. The mounting bolts appear to be stainless steel and look brand new after soaking.
