'68 c10 build

[Camaroguy]

The cab will go into primer one more time, get sanded with 400 (wet) and then we will start putting on color. It will be getting seam-sealed this afternoon.

Looking good so far. Hoping to gain some motivation from all this. Keep rolling along.

Looking Slick!

Thanks, guys. By chance, anyone in NM have a good bed (short) they are looking to sell?

Today we finished cleaning and smoothing off the underside of the cab. It will be getting sprayed with undercoating this afternoon.

I also picked a color and bought paint today. I was shocked at the price! Spent over a grand in material and will probably end up needing more clear.

What color did you end up with?

We went with the factory light blue like this. Planning to do the top and grille white. Still considering doing below the trim in white as well.

Thoughts?

Oh, and the price of paint is nuts! $578 a gallon for the blue. A non-metallic blue.......

I like the color (almost, but not quite, Taos Blue), but $578 a gallon is crazy!

Almost. Up in the northwest corner of the state, I believe we call it Turquoise.

Awesome color choice! My new cab is original Light Blue so I'm going to try to match it the best I can with the rest of the sheet panels. What are you planning on doing in the interior? I'm undecided on doing either a black or an all blue interior.

This is my favorite c10 color combo for sure. I'm undecided on the interior but may do a black/white houndstooth or a saddle. I have a 67 Camaro with a factory blue/white deluxe interior. It looks good but the blues match.

We got the underside of the cab coated yesterday and are waiting for it to dry. Today, I drilled holes in the dash for the ac vents. We are planning to run just the outside vents for a cleaner look. Drilling these holes stressed me out for some reason.

I would do below the molding in White... just has a finished look in my opinion... Here is my Truck...

Looks nice. I'm still leaning against below the trim though.

[Camaroguy]

Cab is taped off and the inside will be getting primed and sprayed with color this afternoon.

Nice, cant wait to see it in color! Thanks for the motivation to get mine ready for paint!

[Camaroguy]

Here are some pics of the inside of the cab. Super exciting to start seeing color. We finished wet sanding the roof, door jambs, and A and B pillars this morning. The drip rail will get seam-sealed this afternoon and we will spray the white on Monday.

The tank (Boyd's) came in yesterday. Very nice looking product.

Thank you!

I got the tank installed today, as well as the pump and regulator/filter. For the pump, I went with a Walbro (GL392) kit from Speedway. I have this pump on my personal c10 and have been very pleased.
