Re: TV--Iron Resurrection 1970 C10 Rebuild

They also shaved everything and used those $$ one piece taillights that eliminate the back up light.

Basically, they picked up a guys truck, it actually looked pretty good, but when you looked at it close every panel was wavy, looked to have a lot of filler, and there also appeared to be a lot of painted over hidden rust. The cab was pretty bad, even the drip rails were rotten.

In terms of body work and hours, it's literally cheaper to order a new body. This is one of the reasons I picked up a decent shortbed box for $300, the body shop rust repair and straightening hours would have exceeded the cost of using a new bed for that owner.

I deleted it from my DVR, but what was funny is I'm pretty sure they ordered 68-72 bedsides... then shaved all the markers. Could have been an owner change after they were ordered, but thought it was funny.
