Looking For Advice
2 Attachment(s)
Howdy folks, My second post here and Im getting ready to start installing cab corners,rocker panels,floor pans and supports on a 72 Chevy C-10 custom. Im planning on mig welding the new metal in place. Is there an order or sequence I should follow or tricks that would make the fitting and welding easier? Should I get a factory assembly manual? Im new to trucks but I have restored an old KZ-1000. I havent cut any metal yet and before I do, Id like to hear what veteran experience has to say. Thanks, and Im really excited about restoring this old truck. Heres a pic, and Ive already purchased,blasted and powder coated(silver)some 85 rally wheels and had 275/60 T/A radials mounted on them. Trucks got the original 350 with the 3-speed auto,with 175,000 miles but it runs and drives good. Again,Thanks!

Re: Looking For Advice
Welcome to the forum!
A member here has made and sells instructional dvd's covering sheetmetal replacement on 67-72 cabs, I own them and highly recommend them. Look up member "ebfabman" Earl is a great guy and knows what he is doing. Also try the search function and FAQ section as most members here have been through this and have documented it in threads. good luck |

Hey Ironangel ... JFYI ... I had the same wheels/tires on my 70 C10 and they look sharp. But... when I lowered my truck (2"/4") the A arms rubbed the wheels when I turned to sharp. Although some have never experienced this issue others have.
