cab looks extremely clean very nice

brian69longbed · 10-05-2009, 02:31 PM

thanks guys it was a pain to do it myself but i saved 300+ to blast my cab it would've been over 400. instead i bought a harbor freight 40lb cap pressure blaster for 100 bucks and 4 bags of sand for 25. well worth it if you have the patience! hopefully i'll have it in primer tommorw afternoon. gotta finish prep today

VA72C10 · 10-05-2009, 02:34 PM

Good progress man. Looking forward to pictures and seeing it all go back together. I hope to have mine in primer in a few weeks.

fortunately for us californians, our junk yards aren't full of rusty old cars. no salt on the roads here. This is my score of the day. the only C10 in the scrap yard! more updates to follow

it was sad to see all the dying cars. rest in piece real metal

VA72C10 · 10-07-2009, 08:41 PM

Wow, how awesome would that be to score a patch like that out of a junkyard. It really makes me want to move out west, build a truck, then move back east...lol...
Between having excellent starting points with minimal rust, and being closer to the parts suppliers...it's like a dream....but I know...grass is always greener......

brian69longbed · 10-07-2009, 08:47 PM

VA72C10 · 10-18-2009, 09:44 PM

Nice work on the center of the dash and the rocker. I am planning to smooth the center of my dash as well to make it transition to the center console I will be building.

brian69longbed · 10-21-2009, 09:40 PM

i'll hopefully finish the rocker patch this weekend. then on to the doors, sand blast and primer. then mount the doors and then cab to frame. then x-mas... damn no more money for parts...

VA72C10 · 10-22-2009, 08:21 AM
