Very original 1970 K10 Short Bed
Pretty rare 1970 K10 Short bed fleetside with all of it’s original sheetmetal and paint finally getting the attention it deserves.
Three days to bring the original Medium Olive back to life. So interesting how the paint fades and the metallic silver becomes so prominent. Original owner’s son used a paint brush to slap a grey paint all over the truck, anywhere there was primer or bare metal and over the entire front bumper. Used grey Scotchbright with Denatured Alcohol, 600 grit 3M wet or dry pad with lots of water followed by CLR with 0000 steel wool and water. Then a coat of wax applied by hand.

I'd be seen driving it just like it is! In fact I'd drive it everyday!

Re: Very original 1970 K10 Short Bed
I like your patina process. I would do it that way. Sometimes spraying clear doesn't look so good...

I think he also had a door handle and paint line outlines for a faux Door #4. [Unless it was a real oil field conversion.] Didn't have time for close inspection.
