Re: 72 K20 Cab Body & Paint Complete!

Thank you. The truck was all orange before with just the roof white. Definitely like it much better with the two tone hugger orange. Here are some more pictures before paint.

My buddy Bill has done an awesome job fixing all kinds of imperfections on the body. I told him that I wanted the body to look original.

Some of the things he corrected:
- welded radio shaft tabs- previous owner cut the radio area out for a modern rectangular
- PO had installed HEI and hammered out firewall for clearance, Bill smoothed it out so you can't tell it has additional clearance.
- he welded outer lower door skin and lower inside shell on my original GM drivers side door. I was about to buy a replacement Taiwan door. SO Glad I did not. I cannot even tell Bill repaired my door.
