Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne "Betty"
Dropped it off at my buddy Israel's shop. He's gonna do the Sheetmetal work and repaint the firewall. Once I get it back I will repaint the frame Semi Gloss and install the new suspension.

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne "Betty"
Dug into the engine..it was pretty dirty. Did find out that its already .040 over so that was cool.. I pulled the main caps and found copper showing.. they're all pretty bad so its gonna need a rebuild. Kind of changes my engine plans...

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne "Betty"
Nice work, I also have never seen the bedsides shortened like that but it makes sense.

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne "Betty"
Here are pics of the floor and cab corner work. We had the floor sandblasted to get all the old crud off the bottom. That revealed small holes here and there on the floor and floor bracing as well.

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne "Betty"
We pulled the windshield so the dash could be painted. There was a unpleasant surprise... I had to buy the entire upper/lower pillar replacement piece. I figured it was easier to use this piece instead of having the replacement pieces made. Israel fixed it up nice and redid the patina. Looks great.
