Thanks, not even wet sanded yet. Thanks, it has been a long road of sanding and welding. I cant wait either.

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
WOW! I just subscribed to your thread. I have taken for granted the ease of my rust repair compared to yours. The cab would have tested any of the skills I have. Your truck is looking great. Very nice! I like that color. It will look awesome whe you have it together. Keep up the good work!

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Finally got the doors & bed painted and put on, looking good so far. Still have to paint the hood and cowl. Just ran out of time to get this all done, as everyone on this site can relate too!! Thanks for looking.

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
We got a engine!!! Almost, got the engine and trany installed over the weekend, also did some junkyard shopping and found a cigarette lighter and and a rear taillight harness (from the cab to the rear lights). It has no cuts or splices and looks good. Also got the fuel line that goes on the frame from the tank to the pump. Got it all for $20!

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Messed with the tank tonight, trying to get it cleaned the best I can, I used a piece of chain and dropped it in the tank. Then put some toliet cleaner "The works" stuff in it to try and remove some of the rust scale. I just shook it from side to side for about a hour. Just plan on sanding and painting the outside of the tank a flat black, and the filler neck silver.

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Greg, Thanks for looking. I have more pics to upload, lots more progress for all to look at, hope to get more pics uploaded tonight. Also did some junk yard shoping over the weekend, found a wrecked 69 C-10, I got a good condition back glass and the front windshield and back glass SS trim that goes around it!!
Craig

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
After alot of trail and error, finally got all the pulleys & PS to line up using the long style WP. Tks Jet4x4 for PS pump!
Headers installed, no fitment issues, and looks nice, just wish I had the extra $$ for ceramic coated..

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Picked up a back glass and the SS trim for front Window and back glass, trying to get this stuff to polish up. I used 320, 400, 600, 1200wet, 2000wet, then started to buff the SS out using the white rosin bar and some Wenol polish, its realy sloww going, but its staring to look new again.
