Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition

Did not work on the K20 this weekend. Did some planning and parts collecting. Going to be pushing to paint the back of the cab and back of the bed front panel so I can install the truck bed back onto the truck while I am finishing the body work and getting ready for paint. Going to try and paint the back of the cab to the top roof separation line and to the rear door jambs. Then shoot the front of the bed panel portion that faces the cab. After it is back on it should be easy to tape of those areas so I can paint the rest in small chunks. Doors and hood painted off the truck, fenders painted on the truck. Shoot the rest of cab while I have those off. Then shoot the bed outside and Raptor line interior bed to wrap up.

This is not the best way to do a paint job but it works for me in my small make shift spray both. Also I am using a single stage paint so color sanding and buffing paint will really make this a nice paint job.

Here is an updated photo four days into the Oaxlic acid soak with the hubcaps. I would think maybe a couple more days and all of the rust will be gone. Notice the color of the mix has changed to an yellow tint. I also moved the tub outside the back of the garage since it was getting in the way where it was.
