Re: 84 c10 stepside
Jeff,
It is looking really good, can't wait to see it all, out in the sun. Not much going on for me, need the truck back. Reported that it will be back being worked on next week at the body shop. All kinds of old convertibles out cruising here today. Les |

Re: 84 c10 stepside
got the braces/wood/bed strips /gas filler, back in(still gotta find the right bolts for the gas filler w/counter sink heads)gotta get all the bolts in there lined up with nuts washers/lockwashers on them. before you tighten anything up.cant bolt the bed down either gotta leave it so you can slide it back to get the row of bolts that line up with the crossmember would certainly be easier using a lift.i used some big ass washers with a small hole on the back of the carriage bolts that didnt line up with the braces. the ones that did line up with the braces needed flat washers with a smaller outside diameter to fit in between the u of the brace. they dont come with the bolts.getting good at balancing the 2 washers(the flat then the lock washer) and the nut in between two fingers and getting them up inside the brace and getting them on the bolt. i also used the old peice of paper in the deep well socket/small extension trick on a few the paper keeps the nut right at the end of the socket so you can start it on the bolt, i use my dolly.(the one for pounding out dents.)to sit on top of the bolts to keep them from popping out when you go to start the nuts on the bolts. unless you have a trained spider monkey that hangs out in the bed and pushes down on the bolt when it pops out as your trying to start the nuts.i coated all the bolts with anti-seize too,in case i have to take it back apart again.the stainless hardware is much better than the cheaper bolts.the cheap ones start rusting instantly.next i have to install the tail pan again.

Re: 84 c10 stepside
Jeff,
Thanks for the heads-up on the bolts in the angle at the bottom of the sides. I was kind if thinking of something like what you mention, had not figured out specifically how to do it. I did mark the angle bolts location on the side boards , when the painter was working on the bed. I should be able to router a slot off my marks, for the bolts like you suggested, then slip the boards under the angle piece. This certainly will be a lot easier. ![]() Picture of angle and bolts to help explain discussion to non steppers, what we go through, I certainly did not fully understand before having one, the work involved. If you like the look, definitely worth the effort. Thanks, Les Last edited by aotte1; 06-08-2014 at 12:37 PM. Reason: Better picture |

Re: 84 c10 stepside
2nd that, great work. You Have to feel really good. I am still in body shop limbo, probably for another two weeks at least. Hopefully then I will be position 1. To wet here to paint car in front of me, plan is for it to go home next Saturday.
Going to any local car deals this weekend to show it off? Les |
