1967 C-10 stepside Project C-Rusty

[OldRusty67]

Hey Everyone!

I have been a follower of the forum for years and recently have FINALLY started working on my truck heres the Trucks story so far - I came across it in 2007 and brought it home out of a guys field for next to nothing the picture of it on the trailer is when I brought it home it was Rusty but the frame was solid and I knew with the aftermarket I could fix it. I think about 10 rats and 20 squirrels were living in the thing though it was a mess.

Well thats where my journey started I would piddle on it from time to time I just enjoyed wrenching on it. In 2009 I got hit by a flood and it took out pretty much everything, the truck got submerged in the flood, I think the Seat has probably made it to the Gulf of Mexico down the Chattahochee by now . I have just recently got off my butt and started really working on it. I disassembled the cab and sent it to the media blaster hoping to stay optimistic but it's bad the Flood really did a number on it I think its rusted through about every metal to metal seam in the entire dang thing....

At that point I almost gave up and scrapped it I know a lot of guys still would
but it was reading this forum and seeing some cabs that are as bad as mine come back to life that have given me hope so hopefully I can do the same for someone else. That and a different cab = to much $ and I barely have anything in the truck, to this point like $600 after the media blasting on the cab. I grew up turning wrenches on my cars but have little body and fabrication experience I guess there is no better way to learn then to do it!

Where its at now - I have the Cab blasted and rattle can primered just to have something on it while I work on it. I decided to start at the top so I cut back the roof panel (had already decided to replace it) on the passenger side cut off the drip rail and cut out the corner pictures will hopefully be below.

Question - Does anyone know of anyone that makes the roof corners and window channels? or know anyone who might have a junk cab they are willing to cut up? these look like they are going to be a Pain to fabricate any help is appreciated.

Thanks Guys I'll try and update the build as I go along and look forward to sharing the experience with you all!
