Re: 1986 GMC Sierra Classic Step Side

First drive home was in the rain and a bit sketchy above 50mph...There is a bad shake above that...

Overall very please. Everything works except the AC does not blow cold. Lights all work except the reverse lights (might just be a fuse or bulbs).

There was a big dent in BOTH doors in about the same spot. The DS door looks to have been repainted at some point using Base/Clear. Got home and it was not really raining, so I went and grabbed my HF Suction Cup with handle and a few paper towels and a little cleaner. Rubbed the dent on the PS door clean, applied the suction cup in the lowest part of the dent, a quick pull, and POP no more dent. You can sorta see the dent in the rear 3/4 view above in the first post.

The DS dent is a little worse in that there is a crease at the bottom and the top of the largest part of the dent. You can see it in the front 3/4 picture above. I used the suction cup on the center of the biggest part and popped that out, but there is a slight ripple at the bottom, but hard to see. The top of the dent is along the body line and will need some attention from the inside of the door while pulling with the suction cup on the outside. For a patina truck, this should be good enough if we can get the cleared door scuffed down to blend with the rest of the truck. You can see what is left of the DS dent in the last couple of pictures...
