Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
Got all the interior components removed and went ahead and got my old carpet ripped out. I've noticed that a lot of projects are like the children's book, if you give a mouse a cookie, you know.. if you give a mouse a cookie its probably going to want a glass of milk... well same applies to our trucks. If you put in a new ac-heater you're probably going to want to put in new carpet and if you put in new carpet you're probably going to want to install fatmat rattle trap (and so on and so forth).... I think you get my point!

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
I got my new buckets mounted. Also got my new ACC carpet from Rockauto.... and a new ForeverSharp steering wheel! About ready to start getting the interior wrapped up so I can get my vintage air installed before the Oklahoma heat shows up!

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
Well this has been a slow process, as promised. I unfortunately did not beat the heat, so my project was on hold for most of the summer. But summer is over and work has resumed. I have still been working on the interior and getting the vintage air installed. Like most know a can of worms can quickly be opened, but a little harder to shut!
Worked quite a bit on the floor, getting as much of the rust as i could out without actually cutting anything out. I also work on sealing up the cab the best I could. The goal for now is to keep the inside dry! Some before pics... |

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
Figured now was a good time to get my cab mounts replaced. I went with poly for longevity. I also had to cut out the spot welds on the bolts. I bought a Dremel to get into the small depression more easily. (Such an awesome tool!
)

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
I used a combination of metal sealer, rubberized coating, and undercoating to seal any place that water was getting in. I then undercoated the entire floor and put down Fatmat.

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
Had to do some rust repair work to my core support. Welded in a patch piece, cleaned it up, then spayed with undercoating. I then clean the whole piece and sprayed it with black.

Re: Gertie, the 72 c10 Highlander
Its been awhile since my last post so I figure its time for an update. I worked on getting my front end put back together after I roughly straightened out my drive side fender. Wasn't looking for anything perfect just wanted to knock the dent out.
