Project '64 C-10 Truck - built in Germany
 
Hey,

this is my first '64 C-10 Truck project being built in Germany. I have to thank a few people who really help on this, especially Pat, Del and Nate. It is quite a hassle to get all these parts sent over here, ... and these poeple really help to make this happeining.

C-10 will have
a full PorterBuilt chassis
Del´s 22" Centerline specials
complete AccuAir Kit
CCP drop spindles and 13“ disc brakes
LS1 with 4L60E
Porterbuilt gas tank
Moser 9“ rear end with Detroit locker
ididit steering column with Billet Specialties steerig wheel
Autometer Gauges
VintageAir AC
AmericanAutoWire harness, ...



I bought the truck from Texas, and it really has some great patina. I will just clear the paint with some CLR and than just get it either clear coted or polished. I want to keep the beautiful sun baked Texas patina on it.

Truck arrived few weeks ago and today Pat and I drove it to my little garage. We started to work an it and get the front clip off the truck.... With the help of Pat we will dissaseble the complete chassis the next weeks and wait for the parts to arrive in Germany.

Re: Project '64 C-10 Truck - built in Germany
 
We had some more time today to work on the truck and got quite a few things done ... I bought this new Milwaukee Tool and it was great fun and saved us a lot of hours!

Can not wait to get the all parts shipped to Germany and start building Nate´s dropkit in and all the other parts,...

Can't Wait, I'm excited for you, we basically have the same truck and very similar ideas, only difference is I'm going for more of performance drive-ability and stance, rather than complete body drop. Waiting for Nate to finish up the coil-over drop-member and getting the 22's from Del with a different color, not black.

Fabian 06-25-2011 04:22 PM

Re: Project '64 C-10 Truck - built in Germany
 
Next steps ...

Me and Pat have finished to take apart the truck and will start to work on the cab next. The floors are pretty solid, but still need some detailing and welding. I will get the wagon completly blasted from the insite, firewall and belly. After I will start working on the firewall and get it smoothend and cleaned and freshly painted. My truck is in tan, does anyone have the original color code for me? I will get the floors done also and than freshly paint the complete insite, I am not sure what color I will do the insite, if same as outsite or something else... once this is done I will lay out some dyno matts to get heat and noise out. Also the bed needs quite some detail as there are some bad dings insite and try to get this smoothend out as good as possible with not ruining the patina.

Still a lot of work to be done and new things and ideas coming up ....

Fabian,

Here are the 65 colors. So in 65 the color would be Fawn with Fawn-Metallic interior.

I think the 64 color chart is somewhere on the forum.

Good looking project.

Just a small update,... the body is completely stripped and today I dropped it off at the blasters.

I hopefully have it back by tomorrow and will primer the blasted parts and than we will start working on the floors, etc...

You guys don't mess around. This sounds like an awesome build. Do you happen to know what media your blaster is using? Just curious what is used over in Germany.

Fabian 07-01-2011 01:43 AM

Re: Project '64 C-10 Truck - built in Germany
 
I will get this one at lower pressure sand blasted, otherwise the rust on the floors will not go away. They also can sodablast, baking powder blasting ( this is very popular as it is very smooth to the chassis ), soda ice pearl blasting and glass and walnut blasting they usually do at the shop.

Re: Project '64 C-10 Truck - built in Germany
 
Thanks Dino,... at the moment we can just work on the cab and get this one as much finished as possible until the other parts arrive. Pats new C10 is coming also in a few weeks and I am getting my 61 Parkwood also today,... so enough projects to work on!

Well some updates on the progress and a big step backwards the project took ... the truck came from the blaster and they did some really nice work. Pat and I prepared to spray the primer and it all looked good,... we strayed the first layer and at the second coat it happend - the primer cracked. **** - all work can be redone ... waited money on blasting and primer and we can redo all of this again. Well I am happy it happened at this stage but still I was very frustrated on this yesterday. Here the pics ...
