I probably would have it in a million pieces if I had the room here. We plan to build a nice shop out back but it's just not in the budget yet. So, we are doing this in phases. Plus we wanted to be able to enjoy driving the truck some before we tear it all apart and can only look at it.
Funny thing about the Auto Fair. I waited all summer for it to get here. I even used my last vacation day this year to go on Friday, hoping to beat folks to some good deals. All I can say is, total disappointment. There were hardly any vendors there, let alone people with stuff for C10s. The Top Banannas of the world were there, but I was looking for quality used parts like I find on the forum here. We did meet the folks from Tommy's Pickup Parts in Shelby. Very nice people. We even went to their shop. They have all the big stuff in stock that people don't want to pay shipping on. I will probably be buying those inners from them when the time comes.
Thanks for the offer of help. It sounds like we are going to be hooking up with your buddy Jesse in the next few weeks. Looks like we will drive to Raleigh to get some upper bed trim from him. Excited to get rid of the blank spot that I have now.
Maybe we'll see you around...

Yikes....where'd ya live in Cornelius??....I know we want to move out where we have a little more room....maybe when home sales rebound?!?!?
I think you are going about your rolling resto right....it's a better way to do it, and you can enjoy it while saving up for the next mod....My new motto is if I cannot do it in a weekend, I'm not doing it
You know...Fall Autofair isn't great, but do know that Top Banana is actually a board vendor here, and does carry quality sheetmetal....and if ya tell them what you want, they bring it to the show....so no shipping
....Also know...the Spring Autofair is like 3-4 times bigger with lots more truck parts there
...I've walked like 10 miles at the last one...YIKES my legs hurt!!!!
Let me know if ya need help, I'm not that far away...be glad to help out
