Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build
When I pulled the cab off I thought all I needed to do was fix a couple spots on the firewall and tidy up any surface rust that had appeared before jumping in to filler and sanding. Boy was I wrong... I've basically cut out two major sections of the firewall and redone them because I just didn't like the work that I had done 10 years ago. I then discovered the rust free doors I purchased were not so rust free and will need a lot of work. Both cab corners also need to be reworked. I'm glad I am able to do this myself. I'm slow and not great at it, but I would have needed a winning power ball ticket to pay a shop to do this. I can't imagine how many hours I will have total in just the cab and doors.
