OMG what have i done??
well fellas,after watching you guys and a marathon weekend of OverHaulin,i decided that the 71 Super Cheyenne C10 out in the driveway was coming apart.After ripping all the bedliner out i found all the wood was rotted completely so thats where i started.After the wood was removed and skid strips and bed bolts it was time to get it blasted.Once bed was gone the wirewheel and pressure washer came out.A couple days later the frame was ready for clean and primed and painted.Man I hope this comes out as well as other trucks i see here......stay tuned for more

Re: OMG what have i done??
got a bunch more pics for you guys, rockers were hashed up pretty good as well as the window channel.....
replacement parts went in smooth with very little alteration,got the right side off and realized more parts were needed like a pillar repair patch as well as 2 front cab supports. WES just happened to have everything i needed in inventory,some of you my know WES at classic heartbeat in olympia wa,hes been a source of alot of good info as well as awesome replacement parts.
