Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

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

Be careful with power tools! The wire wheel damn near got in to my leg.

Pops and I finished tacking up the exhaust, took about 3 mock ups until everything was just right. Went with a 2.5in stainless steel true dual out.
