My C10 is still waiting on me too. I like you have made little steps.
I got some good news from my heart surgeon about my pace maker, I can use my wire welder with the type of pace maker I have.
Also have got my other meds. worked out to where I'm able to a few things now.
I need to post some updates on my forum page.
Hang in there, we both can do a little every day.

Hi Vince
2015 when we all sat around Ta2Don’s C10 in the dirt in Arkansas.
Trucks certainly brought us together.
Glad you’re getting closer to getting back as well.
These trucks are patient.
Did very little yesterday.
But still managed a couple of slow hours.
Visitors, ****ty weather and forums can easily suck up many hours.
I started on the odd little, custom radio surround plate that has to go in here.
There will still need to be some trimming to the mounting bracket that stands proud by 15mm
So I pulled out a bit of the Mazda Bongo interior trim that I had used for the rear door trim making.
Established that I had enough material to make it work.
Marked out, cut out and finished the plate.
Followed by cutting it to size to fit the radio face trim.
Cutting with a grinder is not ideal but a Dremmel was going to take too long
Some more finishing and the whole thing seems right
On the old cut up dash surround
I was pleased with it
Last job in the cold, some satin black paint
next job is to cut back the mounting bracket in the dash and to see if it all comes together
Fingers crossed
