Re: This'll Buff Out

Ok I admit it, there are a few trucks out there that an S10 frame may be the way to go, this is one, ok.

But there better not be a good stock frame within a 100 miles or event his one is out.

Re: This'll Buff Out

Yep that is an honest no argument S-10 swap if there is enough there to use.

about 35 years ago I bought a similar truck for 25.00 because it came with a clear title and a few pieces I needed. Just like that one the frame broke when we moved it to load it on my buddy's trailer. It had hauled bagged fertilizer for most of it's life never being unloaded and we took some of the remnants of bags out of the back before we loaded it.

If you get the left fender to come forward a bit, then the hood will line up...Jim

Yeah, I learned about fertilizer last summer when I had 1400 Lbs in the back against the tailgate for a couple weeks waiting for a job. Totally surface-rusted the gate and bumper where pellets accumulated.

Roof might need a little work but the rest of it looks easy.

That first one reminds me of the truck on Men in Black that the space ship landed on.

I think they would all buff out if you start with coarse compound

Re: This'll Buff Out

From what I see on that "roadster" the sandblaster didn't do the damage, they just exposed the damage that was hidden behind paint and bondo. That old cab was beyond abused before it ever got sandblasted but it still looks pretty solid.
