I picked up two loads of sheet metal from the hydro blaster yesterday and today. The last load is still in the trailer. My son in laws K10
Suburban parts are in there too.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-11-2020, 09:27 PM

That's gonna be one nice truck!

I'm ready to hear it run again. I ordered a radiator yesterday.

Nice work. I have a lot of admiration for guys like you, Pete, and Iron Canine that kill these kill it on these kinds of builds. Maybe one day at a different stage of life I’ll have the time to pull one off like this.

Glad you are keeping the AIR equipment - I thought I was flying solo in the folly of doing so

It's been a few years since I did a correct restoration. I kept the A.I.R. for posterity, and it only takes like 1/10 of a horsepower away.

LOL, my dad bought a new 68 C10 with A.I.R., and traded it for a new 69 because he could get the 69 without A.I.R..

Of course I am taking some liberties from the SPID, such as tilt column, AM/FM and extreme bend hooks. I cheated with the dual exhaust, 3 point harness and I may add cruise control just because I have one.

**davischevy** · 08-09-2020, 12:30 PM

I'm headed out to meet an old friend about painting the K10. Fingers crossed.

**Richard** · 08-11-2020, 02:01 AM

Wish you luck. Hope it goes well. Getting completes done where I am is very difficult. No one wants to do them.

**davischevy** · 08-12-2020, 11:14 AM

Well that fell through, sort of. My 55 210 has been in paint jail for a couple of months. My friend wants to do it instead. I will take what I can get.

The shop the 55 is at, indicated they would rather do the truck anyway.

FWIW, I am creating a backup plan for painting the truck. I have a shop I have been using for storage. It is set up for air and has water. I just need to install a compressor and I will paint the truck myself.

Oh yeah, I need a refrigerator for beer.

57taskforce · 08-12-2020, 12:20 PM

Nice plan Larry, I’m confident you’ll get them both looking great!

**72 tigger** · 08-12-2020, 12:47 PM

So, you painting the truck is the backup plan if the shop falls through

**DeadheadNM** · 08-12-2020, 11:27 AM

Go for it!

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-14-2020, 09:55 AM

The fridge is a must have item.....I think your plan sounds great.

**davischevy** · 08-17-2020, 10:01 PM

Let's say the plan for paint is fluid.

The owner of the shop that has been doing my paint for the last several years is encouraging me to use their shop and paint the truck.

My 55 goes out there tomorrow. My friend that came in from NC to paint the 55 is starting on it tomorrow in that shop.

**davischevy** · 08-17-2020, 10:05 PM

The sheet metal on this truck is pretty doggone nice.

Notice the mismatch in the rocker.

**IronCanine** · 08-17-2020, 10:22 PM

That metal is sick Larry...you devil. Good luck on the musical paint booths. Don't let this truck get locked up though. I am anxious to see it done!!!

Good to see the factory didn’t have their shiz together sometimes either. I don’t feel so bad about my repop fitting pretty similar to that on my drivers side.

**DeadheadNM** · 08-18-2020, 09:39 PM

Yeah I’d tear that rocker off and fix it

**davischevy** · 08-18-2020, 10:19 PM

But, but, but, Pete, it's original.

I have been struggling with the rocker thing. I have NOS replacements, and we all know how prone they are to rust through.

**DeadheadNM** · 08-18-2020, 10:41 PM

Just kidding - primer, paint, drive

**davischevy** · 09-05-2020, 08:52 PM

I primed the cab floor.

**IronCanine** · 09-05-2020, 08:59 PM

Spicey!! I like it.

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-05-2020, 09:25 PM

I like it too....looks great.

57taskforce · 09-06-2020, 12:00 AM

Nice! That rotisserie has to come in handy big time, working on the bottom of my cab was the single biggest pain in the ass my truck has given me to date.

**72 tigger** · 09-06-2020, 07:15 AM

Looks really good, nice rotisserie
