Re: 68 C-10 Chevy LWB "Basket Case"

Here is the days "progress"
I'm still in the "does my truck love me or hate me phase!"
Sandblasted the bottom side this afternoon at work to find the spot welds, I found more holes than spot welds! Not what I was looking for! I have some more cutting in the floor. I was hoping to steer clear of cutting on the floor...
I couldn't resist taking a pic of the new temporary panels just to see how they'd fit, and how much this work is worth it! I had these "universal" pieces lying around from a basket case I got up in NY State, come to find out they were already hacked on! They make great templates! lol
I thought initially I was just looking at 2 cab supports/inner/outer rockers and a couple spots here and there....Now it's about half a dozen spots on the floor and 3 of the 4 cab supports, along with the usual suspects here and there.
Those who say rebuilding a southern truck is easy, should stay as far away from this thread as possible! I'm getting into the 40 yr old red mud on this build, and dang it, it was suppose to be a work truck!
