Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Spent a few hours on Saturday working on the truck. The boy was able to get the door hinges bead blasted and ready for paint. I worked on cleaning up the gas tank. Used steel wool, aluminum polish, and rubbing compound. Came out a lot better than I expected.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
On Saturday, we were able to rebuild the heater box and replace the core. I really should have done a vintage air system but maybe sometime in the future. I also got the fuel lines ran to the regulator and back to the tank.

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
If you remember, the inside of the bed on this truck had been sprayed with bed-liner by the previous owner. The only part we are reusing is the bed sides. I had previously tried chemicals to strip it with no success. Also tried heat and a scraper with minimal success. So Saturday my son and I spent 4 hours tag-teaming one bed side with a wire wheel attachment on a grinder and small sanding discs. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. Stuff is nasty!

Re: Son's 68 c10 Short Bed
Yeah that stuff was ugly. Looks much better now that you persevered through that fun task! I'm planning on doing a sprayed liner, but only on the floor.
