Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

In the last 2 weeks you have re built a truck. All I have done is change some diapers,nap when the weather turns gloomy and watch my Lakers get destroyed....lol This thread makes me feel incompetent and lazy

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks! Finally got back to work this evening...
Wet sanded, scuffed, and cleaned up in preparation for some color on the rest of the truck. Was fun stretching across that looooong hood. Also caught a little suicide dive bomber in the fender. Truck actually looks kinda good with glossy, wet paint...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Got a little done today in the way of installing the fuel filler- ended up having to shorten the fill tube to keep a downhill slope from the filler to the tank. Using the late model door also left me with a nasty-looking protrusion into the bed. I used part of a formed metal blister to cover the ugliness- I think it turned out 'good enough'...
Also painted the tailgate, filler cover, filler door, and the rear of the bed. I had to do something with the area at the tailgate where the wood ends. A wood floor cross-sill would have a step-up here; I used a piece of 1.25" angle iron as a suitable substitute

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks for the positive comment. I would have liked to butt weld it in flush and body work it, so that it looks like it came that way, but time does not permit. The rivets are kinda cool looking anyway

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
While I was waiting for paint to dry, I also got busy putting the front of the truck back together. I installed the bowtie and hood latch and started making one good grill out of the two that I have.
I used the insert from the aftermarket grill that was on the truck, painting it flat black, then removing the paint from the louvers, to resemble a factory 1970 inner grill, instead of a '69, like all repop inners. Did you know there are 60 'louvers' on a '70 grill? I do now... I had to detail each and every one of them today, but the effort was well worth it. The outer still needs a good cleaning, but it's starting to look like a truck again- that actually says 'Chevrolet' on it

Looking great! I may just have to copy you on the raised floor, it is turning out awesome and it would get me a little lower.
