Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Wrapped up a few items on the bottom of the cab corners that need attention before painting. Used some UPOL glazing filler to fill a few areas that had some pin holes in the filler. Then went over a few of the repair areas with some spray can SEM high build primer to fill over some of the sanding scratches and catch any of the pin holes also. After getting this knocked down i will get things ready for primer hopefully.
Positioned the bed on the cart so I work on the front of the bed panel and get it ready for primer and paint while the other areas on cab were drying. Noticed that there was two areas that had grease pencil markings from the factory. The one on the passenger side top was a capital "D" in cursive, on the other side near the top was a "22-NL2". They were both done in black grease pencil underneath the Ochre paint. I noticed it because it was slightly raised and the paint was a little thin in that area. As I began to sand the paint with a DA and went over these locations it knocked the paint off and exposed the grease pencil markings even better.
This panel will need to be sanded down and about three or four small areas will need some glaze. The areas that have natural waves or indentations from spot welds I will leave alone and paint over. This is the way it came from the factory and that is the way it will stay in my build.
