Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Went to Lone star throw down this weekend with my father and saw a lot of amazing trucks. Was a great inspiration for me to get in the barn and keep working. I was able to finish the little body work needed on the fenders, and started work on the hood. Dad had been working tirelessly to finish the exhaust. Made a modification to the plan and we are going to incorporate the X-pipe like originally planned. Name:  IMG_3213.jpg

Love the sink base, can you lower the gate? Hows the cab coming along?

Yes, the gate lowers. Dad made that with the old tailgate from his c10. The cab is coming along slowly. I understand now why they call it paint jail now.

Couple more pics showing the metal prep and the body work I've completed. Picked the cab up from the metal shop. Rockers are in, doors are hung, and some internal body work has been completed.Name:  IMG_3336.jpg
