Re: My '63 C10 "I'd rather be driving" Project
I found a BBW roof on a 64-66 truck. After cutting it off I could see there was some old collision damage on the backside of the cab where the box got push up against it. There was a couple kinks on the inner panel, near the driver-side door jamb.
It took a little while to get the glass out. The window seal insert, or whatever its called, was so deteriorated that instead of being one long "rope", it came out in short little pieces that looked like black licorice Nibs.
I cut around the edges with a zip wheel, then ground off the spot welds on the back of the cab. once I got it out, it was just a matter of getting all the spot welds ground off.
A little hammer and dolly work smoothed out the kinks, but opened up a crack. I'll weld it up on the weekend. Then it'll be ready for media blasting and a coat of epoxy primer.
Question
Can anyone tell me what the row of holes along the bottom of the inner panel are for? Are they original?
