Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Done primed it. Came out pretty straight considering it used to be a long bed!

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Filled in th old heater openings in the dash to clean up the look of the firewall a bit and mounted the vintage air evaporator under the dash. I also cut the rockers off so I could start the rust repair there.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
I made one of the best purchases ever today. A sandblaster! I have to say if you have a place to use one it makes life so much easier. I can't believe I waited so long. Anyway, back to the truck 400 lbs of sand later the inside and outside of the cab have been blasted. Now I just have to figure out the best way to do the bottom and then tackle the rust I have found, which wasn't a whole bunch more than I already knew about. The unfortunate thing is always the PO, or maybe the PO before him. Someone thought that body filler would be a good seam sealer as well as the correct repair for pinholes around the fender bolts in the cowl. Glad I stripped off the primer that was on it, I (as we'll as most) have been burned by assuming work already done was done properly.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
What kind of sandblaster did you pick up and where if i may ask? I was literally looking at one today at TSC. It was a 20 gallon black bull i believe. I hesitated on buying it though it had mixed reviews.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
I would also like to know. I'm at the same point on my cab and I assumed the previous work was done properly but I was in for a rude awakening when I started cleaning it up.

It is a 10 gallon black bull from Rural King which is a lot like a TSC. I paid $99 for it, so i didn't expect too much. It worked very well for its size. Mine came with a water separator and controlled the 75% humidity with no problems. My 60 gallon porter cable 10.5 CFM compressor keeps up, but barely, it came with 5 ceramic nozzles and I wore two of them out going through 400 lbs of sand.It holds just under 100 lbs and runs about an hour on a full tank. The one thing I didn't like is the quality of the supplied blast hood, I plan on getting a nicer one. Overall I am very satisfied for the price. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
This build is great. I love the ideas going in here. Also just picked up a blaster. It works great with the fine sand but anything bigger those nozzles get clogged. I also only have a 28 gal 10cfm and 90 psi tank.
Good luck with the build.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Flipped the cab onto its back to tackle some rust before I hit it with the sandblaster. All four outer supports, inner and outer rockers, front and back a pillar repair panels have been purchased and hopefully will arrive before next weekend.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Just a sample of what all four outer supports looked like. I removed both fronts and started patching the drivers floor where the support had started to weaken the floor itself.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
One of the not so fun or exciting tasks this weekend, rust repair. A pillars, floor supports, footwells, and a little bit of the floor around the supports was in need of some attention. I bought my panels from classic industries and went to town!

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Over the holiday weekend, I was able to sandblast the repaired cab floor and supports, then I painted and undercoat it. One of the things we do at work to make undercoating look better is to spray it from about 3 ft away. This produces a very nice texture instead of the thick runny, globbed look that happens when you spray at the recommended 10-12". It does produce a little bit of an overspray mess on the floor and anything you don't want to undercoat. I wasn't too concerned about overspray since the rest of the can hasn't been finished, but I did put a drop cloth down in front of where I was spraying.
