A huge thank you to all the help and knowledge

[wpavlis]

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has helped me on this board over the years. In particular I want to thank the nameless person that mentioned using an impact wrench to tighten and break off the bolts that hold the bed strips on! I am in the process of removing and replacing the wood in my grandfather's 1968 C10. I tried removing one of these bolts and it quickly rounded out in the bed strip. I have taken 20 or so other bolts out by just snapping them off. SOOOO much easier.

Now, if I can just get all the other bolts that hold the wheel wells and such off! I was able to get some off with a Sawzall, some with a grinder. One with my air hammer and a chisel. One or two actually threaded out. It's always an adventure with this old truck.

Anyway, thanks to everyone that continues to offer support to those of us new to these truck and restoration in general. I couldn't do this without you.

The members on here are always glad to help. With all of the diverse knowledge, there is almost always someone that can offer a solution to a problem. No one person can know everything there is to know about these trucks but with all of the different backgrounds and interests of the members on here, there is a good chance that someone will be able to help......
