Thats the one getting frame up done now. At $7 per gallon for K1 there will not be too many shop days on it this winter as I had hoped. In middle of metal work now that the frame down is done. Good luck with this one

Hope all my fellow truck enthusiasts had a great Christmas and New Years!!! Well I’ve gone as far as I’m gonna go with the buffer. Old paint cleaned up better than I expected but nothing perfect. I used the malco heavy cutting compound and a wool pad. Then applied some basic rubbing and polishing compound. Also found a beat up OEM woodgrain band in the shop rafters I threw on since the tailgate was pre drilled. Story on that is my old man bought a 1972 super c10 years ago and swapped it to 4wd. Why he removed the tailgate band idk but I gladly too it off his hands. He said that thing was in the rafters long before I was born so it’s at least 27 years up there..
