Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”

On Saturday the boy I and bolted all the panels together and made everything look like a truck again. I still have some work to do on gaps and panel alignment but by the end of the day on Sunday, I had everything but the hood gaps looking decent. I put the door seals and the door latch hardware on and got the doors opening and closing. I went through the door hinges and cleaned them up so they actually would move on the hinge. The doors open all the way without extra effort to push them open.

I also had to give the garage a deep cleaning, swept/vacuumed, cleaned and put away hand tools, organized, and finally tossed some old junk that wasn't going to be re-used on the truck. There was months of C10 building debris everywhere.

It felt great to roll the truck out of the garage and take a look at it in the sun. I tossed on the the beat up OG grille, cracked a beer and smiled

Next up will be some body filler on the visible dents.
