Getting rid of the seams in the door opening of the cab. This way I do not have to worry about seam sealing them or moisture getting into them. Besides, it is a very subtle difference that only a 67 - 72 C10 owner would notice...it's just a cleaner look.

I have been working on the same thing with my cab. It looks so much nicer IMO. Keep it up, looks great!

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. I am all for slight improvements without going all out resto-mod. I like the charm and simplicity of vintage vehicles. I have seen some really great updates in older trucks, but if I wanted a new truck, I would have bought one and saved the time doing a restoration. I do plan on installing A/C, but it will be a period correct under dash unit. I even have an old (working) 23 channel CB to put in this truck!

I think the floor is done, except for the epoxy primer and Lizard Skin.

Just about done with the driver's side of the cab. Actually turned out nicely, but there is just a little fine tweaking to do when I do the block sanding.

Looks excellent
