Re: BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB “Jumping Cholla”
I pulled the cab to start working on the minor rust repairs that will be needed. The only rust I’ve found so far is on both rockers and front pillar kick panels. Looking at what other guys have done on this site to remove the cab, I built a cab cart on wheels that I can move around in the garage and a lift with a low point to lift the cab off the frame. It was a little sketchy doing it solo, but I got it done. The plan is to cut out and replace the inner/outer rockers. This will be my first real go at sheet metal/bodywork and I’m looking forward to the challenge. While I got the cab off, I’ll fill in the existing AC/Heater openings (this was an original A/C cab truck) and round out the firewall for a clean look.
