Checkout the lame attempt to hide the rust with some rattle can white paint.

And wallah! The rust free becomes, well... not so much.

So, you're saying I should just drop it off at your place for a couple of weeks and pick it up when really is rust free! Right?

We'll make it happen....

**nlped** · 01-26-2015, 09:32 PM

Tough to tell from the pics, but looks like they could be patched.

68basket · 01-26-2015, 10:07 PM

When you get that rocker off the whole bottom of that pillar will probably be gone also. New pillar patches are available for those areas.

Malamute · 01-27-2015, 12:34 AM

I'm really sorry that truck was worse than advertised. You'll still have a great one once it's all done but I know it's more than you planned when you bought it. Keep the pics coming, it's starting to take shape.

Chvy2NV · 01-27-2015, 09:36 AM

Looks great Ernie. It's really coming along. You going to powder coat the frame?

mcbassin · 01-27-2015, 09:49 AM

Bummer about the new rust discovery. I'm sure it can all be fixed. It will just take some time. I think it's safe to say that 99.9% of these trucks have some rust in them. Just a matter of time before it shows.....Keep your head up and plow through it. You'll be done in no time.

slowcpe · 01-27-2015, 11:41 AM

Sucks about the rust but that's child's play compared to what I found when I tore my truck apart. Stinks but it'll make for a very nice truck when done. Plus you know it'll be done right.

C10_ustacould · 01-27-2015, 01:20 PM

Thanks for the comments guys I appreciate it, but I was really just trying to be funny. I know there is some rust to be dealt with, and yes I'm pissed the P.O. misrepresented the truck, but I know it's not nearly as bad as some of you have tackled. I will admit I am nervous about the unknown, as I've never done sheet metal repair. The great thing for me, but unfortunate for a few of you, is that these repairs have been done before and are well documented; mcbassin's web site documenting his journey through pictures is awesome. The other thread that documents a case of massive rust repair is sgaylord's "Jezebel". Both of these guys pulled off amazing results after starting with trucks that were much worse than mine, and thankfully did a great job documenting their journey. So, I will do my homework, collect up some new tools

and with a lot of help get this part of the build knocked out. Thanks again for the comments; I hope I can provide some more substantive updates in the near future. Until then I will continue to cut up and post tid-bits that happen in the shop.

C10_ustacould · 01-30-2015, 09:12 PM

Didn't really feel like going to the garage tonight so I downloaded House of Kolor Digital Paint Booth to play around with... what do you all think of these ideas?

Black bumpers and trim is sweet.

**nlped** · 01-30-2015, 09:16 PM

I like the black bumpers a lot. Let's see them in white too

C10_ustacould · 01-30-2015, 10:32 PM

White bumpers... I need to figure out how to make the nose black and the hoops light bezels white, not sure I'll like it but I'm curious.

Mix up the grill and I think the white bumpers might work well... Just my .02¢

C10_ustacould · 01-30-2015, 11:09 PM

I like this idea for the bed wood and strips...

Nice work Buck! The tack welds look great, I don't think you're going to have any problem welding up your panels.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-02-2015, 09:58 AM

Looks good Buck!

slowcpe · 02-02-2015, 11:39 AM

Is that filler plate from PB? I haven't seen that one before and like it.

I really like the rendering of the bed and think I like the white bumpers better than the black, but that's a touch call.

**lolife99** · 02-02-2015, 11:58 AM

Man,... white is a favorite color of mine on these trucks,... but I have to go against the majority here.
You need the chrome.
Member Raguemoe's 67 swb is one of my all time favorites.
Sorry, but this is a classic look.
