Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Also was able to start getting the cab corner mocked up and trimming to fit the area. Got it tacked in a bit and started adding filler to all the areas that were identified as problem areas.
Again the supports underneath were in excellent shape, were treated with rust converter and will get cleaned again really good for 3M undercoating. Both cab corners were repair panels that came with a unfinished project I purchased a few weeks ago. It was nice to be able to put them to use and not have to wait for parts to be ordered.
While working on body repair items and getting ready for paint I like to have another item or two to work on so I don't get burned out on all the sanding, filling, sanding, filing, rinse repeat. I am working on building a rotisserie that can be used to flip the bed around so I can work on the bottom side to repair and dinged or bent up floor channels. Having the rotisserie with the bed position on it side someone can stand on one side and hold a dolly and another person on the other side hammering. It can also mount a cab on it if needed. Hope to have it wrapped up in a week or so, then I can use it for the floor and while painting and Raptor lining the bed interior.
