Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Been busy the last week or so trying to get to the cab painting. Pulled off the front fenders and hood since they will need some additional work done on all of them to get them ready for paint. It will also give me access to paint the cab properly.
Worked on the passenger door wet sanding down some of the nicks and small scratches. Before I removed it from the cab I drilled two 1/8" holes in each hinge for reference locators. I have used this method and it really helps when you are putting them back on as a one man job. Spent a couple of days just getting all of the old glue off of the door jambs and stripping down the rocker to clean them up a little better than the previous owner who replaced the rockers at some point. Once I got them stripped and a few rounds of filler to dress them up i put on a coat of Rustoleum rusty metal primer. I like to use this sometimes for filling sand marks and getting it ready for primmer.
Last thing I did on the cab where the hinges were I brushed a coat Ospho to treat the metal.
