Re: C10 Short Bed Fleetside V8 Automatic

Kimble,

64' K10 truck waiting on the painter for ever, over a year. Wish I could do it, health keeps me away from painting it, chemicals now are very toxic to me. Dr says no contact at all. So idle hands needed something to work and focus on. Had this truck in storage unit for several years. Took it apart to make it fit, the frame was the biggest piece. Storage unit was 8'x 12 or 15', good thing not a long bed. This way storage was not very much, and kept the truck inside.

Purchased a four post lift to help my back and neck, makes a big difference. Also the C10 for me is much simpler, easier, and less time to build then a K truck, so many more components to rebuild.

The super clean sheet metal is what I need to do the builds now at my age. Need it to be simple and less work.

Carl,

This company uses a first stage that removes paint etc. Once in a while they use a stripper for really tough spots.
The process their sounds great for you, and can always remove paint first.
