New to me 62 C10 Stepside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

singleton62 · 03-03-2011, 06:07 PM

I just purchased a 1962 Chevrolet C10 Stepside for $200. It's just a roller but for $200 I couldn't pass it up. It needs work and parts and a little knowledge from my end. Here she is.

Looks like someone swapped out the front and rear end, 5 lug wheels. Should be a fun project.

singleton62 · 03-03-2011, 06:39 PM

Yeah I'd say a lot has been swapped. I came with two new panels for the doors, two new panels for the fenders and had the original grill, steps, and turn signals sitting in the cab. It will be a lot of work but should be fun.

Smoking deal, you like stole it, just take your time and don`t lose interest, welcome to the site..

Welcome to the forum

Yeah for $200 I wouldn't pass that up either. What do you have planned for a drivetrain? There are many places to buy restoration parts. I would recomend first checking out the 'Vendors Marketplace' here on the forum. One supplier that I like to buy from is Classic Parts.

It's actually a small window. Would love a big window though and what does knee knocker mean? As for drivetrain we aren't really sure yet. I want to get the body straightened out first...take care of all the rust and then worry about everything else. My dad was thinking a 327 but who knows what we will end up with.

awbrown · 03-05-2011, 07:13 AM

knee knocker = 60-63 .tall people will find the dogleg in the windsheild to be close quarters upon exit .us short people have never had a problem.. welcome to the club...

Stepside65 · 03-05-2011, 10:06 AM

When you go to replace the windshield you might want to look at your local glass shops. They can sometimes get the glass to you and installed cheaper. Nice start to a project though. Best of luck from SE New Mexico.

62low72High · 03-05-2011, 10:28 AM

Hey awesome buy for a project ! I'm down in Roanoke and have had my 62 for 2 weeks.
Swap meet Sat/Sun here at the Civic center if you are lookin for parts or ideas. Seeya.

singleton62 · 03-05-2011, 08:41 PM

Nice truck looking forward to more progress.

On a side note I had to edit your first post. Just FYI

singleton62 · 03-06-2011, 12:17 PM

Took everything but the doors and hood off. Ready to sandblast and spary primer on the pieces that don't need fixing.
