Re: 72 c-10 shorty
got the white on the cab saturday night and it turned out great. I hate painting in a dirty shop, but find doing small amounts and not stiring the dust works quite well. roof was really clean.

Re: 72 c-10 shorty

Re: 72 c-10 shorty
got a little bit of work done on the pick up over the last little while. been sticking close to home and spending time with my new family member and havent really got into the bodywork stage for a few weeks. got the sun visors and headliner cleaned and painted with vinyl spray paint. I know this stuff wears off in time, but it will do until the trucks finished and I can spend the time and money to replace with new stuff. got the heater box repaired and rebuilt and ordered a new heater core. dont plan on doing this twice!!
