Re: '71ish K10 restoration

I've spent the past few weeks hard at work getting trim installed in my house so my wife would be happy, but I finally got back to the truck last weekend. I finished removing the bed and I flipped the cab onto its back so I could inspect the bottom. I found that while not laying on my back and having the floor shadowed, it looks far far worse. I also found some bondo spots on the firewall that I have yet to wire wheel. I also noticed that the rocker panels were held in place by a couple of sheet metal screws and a half inch of bondo and the new cab corners were in place with non-countersunk pop rivets and about another 1/4" of bondo. I pretty much lost my optimism on Saturday. This week, however, I did score a '72 LWB C10 Cheyenne with factory air and a wood bed that still had the original factory paint. It only needs a passenger side rocker and cab mounts. That should make the 4x4 project much easier
