Re: '68 c10 build
No real exciting updates. Still blocking on the cab and doors. The doors will be ready for paint tomorrow and the cab should be ready by early next week. The doors came out really good. Especially considering they were pretty rough to begin with.

Now comes the dilemma of picking colors. Wanting to go with a non-metallic paint and leaning towards an earth tone from the 68 trim up with white on bottom.

Re: '68 c10 build
Are you priming the doors while they are hanging? If so how do you avoid paintless spots where the wires wrap around them?

This was the 3rd or 4th priming of the doors. We hung them this time because we didn't add any additional primer to the window frames just the face of the doors.

Looking good man. I really want to paint mine but this part of it scares me. The body work. Lol. Wasbt a fan of those wheels you picked out before but I have been digging then lately.

Thanks, there is only one way to learn I guess. It's been about 20 years since I've done any and it has been a good learning experience for me. I like the wheels as well, they still aren't my first choice, but I like them.

We got the radiator support back from powder coating today. It came out really nice. It was pretty rough to begin with and I should have taken a picture before repairing it.

The cab will go into primer one more time, get sanded with 400 (wet) and then we will start putting on color. It will be getting seam-sealed this afternoon.

Camaroguy, what type / brand / part number seam sealer are ya'll using ? Is it a "self-leveling" type ? Thanks for the info !
Your truck is gonna be awsome !

Re: '68 c10 build
Awesome color choice! My new cab is original Light Blue so I'm going to try to match it the best I can with the rest of the sheet panels. What are you planning on doing in the interior? I'm undecided on doing either a black or an all blue interior.

This is my favorite c10 color combo for sure. I'm undecided on the interior but may do a black/white houndstooth or a saddle. I have a 67 Camaro with a factory blue/white deluxe interior. It looks good but the blues match.

Re: '68 c10 build
We got the underside of the cab coated yesterday and are waiting for it to dry. Today, I drilled holes in the dash for the ac vents. We are planning to run just the outside vents for a cleaner look. Drilling these holes stressed me out for some reason.

Looks nice. I'm still leaning against below the trim though.

Re: '68 c10 build
Here are some pics of the inside of the cab. Super exciting to start seeing color. We finished wet sanding the roof, door jambs, and A and B pillars this morning. The drip rail will get seam-sealed this afternoon and we will spray the white on Monday.
