That's A LOT of RUST....Can We Save It?? 1963 Chevy C10 Restoration Day 36 

Thanks for the weekend PUMP! Great project...

Tac and move. Take your time. If you go to fast you’ll Warp the panels. Love the show. Keep up the great work.

👍👍👍👍 keep it up man. Doing good

The dolly was a huge and great idea. Now it can be wheeled outside to be pressure washed, sand blasted or just moved around the shop. You are right they make plenty of patch panels out there for C10's and got really isn't a bad issue. Just time and money to replace with panels. Just make sure to add seam seal to the list if you dont have any.

I see some deep learning on sheet metal cut/patch and blending in your future! Best of luck and look forward to seeing your progress!

Always wear safety glasses when you're grinding or cutting

Woah your cab is a bit worse than mine. Can't wait to see how you tackle it. I'd say between the two you have a complete cab.

The 1963 chevy truck was unique because it has the cab of the early model 1960- 1963 with the wrap around windshield. But the frame is the cheaper ladder frame that has the spring suspension in the front. The early model is a X Box frame with the torsion bars suspension and the hydraulic clutch .The 1964 to 1966 have very little differences. Chevy changed the early style. That was called a car like ride on a truck. A truck before its time. Hydraulic clutch didn't come back until the 80s as well as the torsion bars suspension. Now it is widely used. I have heard from a lot of people that say that 1960 to 1966 trucks are the same. The 1963 is very much desired as the earlier models are much more rare and harder to find. The front bumpers don't interchange and the frame cab mounts are a little different set up. Just a little bit of FYI

Sandblast the cab.get the mice doodoo out. When people park the vehicles th mice use the seat cotton for their home. Gotta get it all out. Take off the roof section. Don't start cutting until you have a replacement piece made. Bought. Borrowed. Whatever. Work on one section at a time. Need to stop the rust. You got a lot of welding fabrication fitting. Hammer and dolly work. It takes planning and time time time. Lots Of time. Oh and grinding. Wow lots of grinding It can be done. You can do it. Just keep doing something every time you can.

i retract my previous statement about having a decent donor, that thing is really rough. might be a good idea to start practicing welding sheet metal. it will look good when youre done but its going to take awhile. took me 4 hours just to do the little bit i had to fix on mine that i shouldnt have had to. look forward to seeing how you do the roof skin.

What part of Virginia are you at....I'm looking for someone to weld up some minor areas on my 81 c10 cab if you can recommend someone

I highly suggest safety glasses when cutting and grinding. Seen many loose their vision from not wearing safety glasses.
