Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
I thought about driving it around town like that but I decided to go ahead and weld on the new top! I will post pics of the new top on tomorrow.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Thanks buddy it wasn't all that hard. It was Chucks (thelonerife) idea to use a string to scribe a mark from the bottom of the drip rail to the corners of the back window. Worked great!! However the inside was a little tricky..

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
yeah, now you just need to get a flap disc and get it smooth if you haven't already. Look like you made some nice welds though

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
You make that look so easy to do but now that I have seen how to do it, does anybody have a rust free roof sitting around that won´t be needed anymore?
Keep up the great work!

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
I like the green roof. It matches good. Good job. Are you planning on having it at the show in July?
Oh and for future reference. Gas fumes are more flamable than gasoline so an empty tank will blow up also. That is why they do not put heat to a tank to repair it. We use to heat up an iron and then use the iron to melt the soldier. Glad you are safe.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
You really did make that look easy. I would not have even wanted to start that project. Good job and hope you get it driving again soon.
I am registered and have a hotel room already. I think my buddy and I are leaving Friday morning and coming to Nashville to visit the Pickers Store and then they are talking about a cruise in at Hendersonville (I think) that we are going to Friday night. Show Saturday and Sunday and home Sunday evening. Hope to see you there.

Re: Rusbuilt's 68 C-10
Justread through the entire thread. I really like the work as you build idea. I'm VERY impressed with your roof swap, nice work. Most people I know would shy away from something like that. Way to go tackling that one. Looks like you're scoring some killer deals too. Did you ever find a "wide axle rear"? Keep up the good work !!
