I feel ya man, we just finished up 3 days of straight snowfall, which put a fresh 10" on the ground....

I feel like I live in Narnia, where it is always winter, but never Christmas !!

Note to self... Don't judge a book by the cover! Well I found out there is a couple spots on the roof that have had bodywork done on it. I finished the bodywork on the rear of cab and firewall and am almost ready to spray some primer!!! Just need to finish stripping inside of cab roof and sand the rest of roof. Also Dave, I'm going to have to put door bottoms on both doors... I think that's the last of the cancer in the truck... Doors will be the last thing done. Oh yea got some stuff today but I'm not telling what hehehe

I assume that the pic above (points up) is 1) the result of sanding and 2) preparing to spray some primer. Least with no other explanation, that's how I'm reading it.

Troy, if I recall, UPS does deliver to your house, right? If so, PM me your address and I'll send the missing dash parts by UPS. Can' be much for such small items and it'll be 2 weeks before I'm that way

Yup sand, sand then sweep, prime and repeat. Actually the second picture is the final procedure...

I was reading the literature today (67-72chevytrucks.com) and stumbled on this post. Honest Troy, this is the first I'd time I've seen it. And of course, I don't know how to quote between threads:

Post #337 on page 14

Man I wish there was a truck guy close to me that wanted help so I could work on another truck... Nice work guys..

Careful what you wish for.

When I bought the truck, the po had one running light at his home and the truck at his shop with the other 4 mounted. I didn't think anything about it, but if the roof damage is in the area of one of the running light mounting holes that might explain a damaged running light. And if that was the case, might explain a water leak and rust. Does any of that pan out, Troy?

Dave.

Makes perfect sense... Wish I would have fixed that part first.. It's a pretty tough area... I will get it fixed in the kinda guy that likes to be the only one with my hands on something so when I put the final coat on its right and no surprises..
