Thanks Eric and I hope also. What is your plan for paint ? I have already bought the paint at the local Napa Auto paint store here in Meridian Idaho. That is where I had the dark blue matched from the radio delete plate you sent, the smaller quart can is the dark blue. The larger can is the medium blue, and thanks again for helping out! Single stage ? Yes, it is a single stage "Utech" by AkzoNobel. I have used this paint on a few trucks and really like how it sprays and the cost is not so bad. The DTM primer is black. Are you going all the way with paint, or are you going to send it out ? Yes I will do all the paintwork here in the garage

Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"
Took two days of rest and am now back at it. Decided to attack the last of the rust repair and metal work hopefully on the cab. I have one small spot on the door trim lip to address and a small area of the Captain's side kicker panel at the bottom.
Had a few challenges with the odd shapes and angles on this one. Then I had my welding wire issues on my new machine jamming up where it feeds to the gun on the inside. So what should have been an hour's worth of work to tackle these few turned into three to four hours. I guess it is part of the kicking and screaming these old trucks do when you are trying to bring them around. Hopefully, after a few adjustments, I can get through the last of the metal work on the cab and finish up the last round of sanding filler on the back and corners of the cab. If it fights back today I have a new welding hose inner sleeve made for the .023 wire I am using. The new machine inner sleeve was for .030 and .035 wire. Pic 1 -Hole in the cab to be repaired Pic 2 -Repaired and ground down Pic 3 -Holding the cut piece with tape, it would not set right with the magnet Pic 4 -Repaired and ground down Pic 5 -The mess after a few hours of work

Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"
Got the mess cleaned up this morning and went after the lower kick panel and door rubber trim rust. The kick panel template and the piece that is cut out and ready to go is about a half inch up higher into good metal, so that should last a minute. The lower door trim area had some waves in it and looked to be about three small holes to cut out and patch.
Well after working the waves out I found that almost the whole piece would need to be fabricated and metal worked. Busted out the metal brake and some tools and whipped one out. Everything is ready to go so hopefully later today I can get to cutting, welding, and grinding again.

Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"
Was able to get out at lunch break and sand down some of the existing filler on the cab. Found a few more spots that needed filler. Also found a few low spots so round three on filler adding. Hope to get it sanded out this evening and get back on the metal repair.
Pic 1 -Received a delivery today from one of Bestview's sources, freshly printed NL2 gas tank switch stickers Pic 2 -Filler top of the cab Pic 3 -Filler where the metal repair was done Pic 4 -Extra filler on the back of the cab Pic 5 -1972 K10 that I purchased a few days ago and is being shipped to Idaho now. Original running driving K10 with 4-speed transmission, tow hooks and grill guard, 551 paint code, manual throttle, and a bunch of other nice items on the SPID.
