Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
I've had this truck for a couple years in storage, just haven't had the time to work on it. It's a 1970 lwb c10, original 501 medium blue paint, 307/auto, set up originally for a camper. Mostly rust free, very original (just the way I like them).

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
The name 'Little Sister' is a reference to the 'Blue Bomb' project. Same year, same color original paint, and will get similar attention to detail.

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
I have been wanting to do a video documentary of this project. This is my first attempt at video editing. Let me know what you think, feedback would be appreciated. There's lots I want to improve (aka the video quality is really bad)...

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
Nice Video. I like it, when you talk to the camera. Lots of nice shots. I wonder how these camper were back then.

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
I spent some time today with CLR and 0000 steel wool. Got about half the truck done.
I also removed the rusty camper mirrors. Fortunately the original mirror arms are still there.

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
I'd like to polish it (the 0000 leaves a dull finish). I bought some jesscar correcting compound. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pad to rub it on? I would like to do it by hand if possible. I have a power tool with variable speed but I'm worried I'll burn through it.

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
Job well done!!!!
Glad to see that it at least has power steering!!! I'm no expert, but using a foam pad might be easier... |

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
The paint cleaned up nice. Good video, but it needs a midi version of "Smoke on the Water" in the background.

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
I remembered I had some mirror heads stashed away in the garage. Much better than the crusty camper mirrors.

Re: Project 'Little Sister' - 1970 LWB Refresh
I finished cleaning up the oxidation. I sure love medium blue when it's glossy, with the black primer showing through.
Before and after...

Got the wheels and new tires installed that I got from RonWT. With some nice original paint hubcaps.

Thank you. They aren't all rust free out here, but you can at least find them on occasion. I don't take it for granted!
