Nice work! Like the new stance.

**SoCoC10** · 06-10-2020, 08:12 AM

I’m working on my 1971 Cheyenne SWB. Truck was from Oklahoma then Alburquerque NM. Truck has all 4 original cab supports. This is what came out of the front cab supports. I’m guessing yellow jacket/bee nests? Truck has simulated wood trim on the doors, glove box and instrument cluster so maybe termites?

Looks like busted up mud dauber nests to me.

Yep, my truck is at least 50 lbs lighter with all those I have scraped or power washed off. One more good washing and about 10 lbs more grease, dirt, and dauber nests and I might have most of it clean.

crying_joker - Cool! Another stepper on the way to saving.

CryingJoker · 06-10-2020, 10:16 AM

Thanks 67c10stepper growing up I liked the fleet side better but the more I've looked at them the better the stepside looks. I want to keep this basic over some of my previous vehicle builds. I want to simply do a reliable go anywhere when I cant or dont want to take my motorcycle.

68cajun · 06-12-2020, 11:30 PM

Stripped the back of my cab and did some metal works before priming it.

Threw some rusty parts in a plastic bucket. Thinking I am on to something very new and interesting, I am going to find more rusty parts and throw them to REINVINIGORATOR!

Anything is possible.........

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 06-15-2020, 05:09 PM

Painted the axle hubs. I don't suppose some will last long, in hind site I think ceramic or powder.

OregonNed · 07-05-2020, 08:37 AM

A little clean-up before a truck show next weekend.

**RodnRudy** · 07-05-2020, 09:03 AM

I went to the annual Cluster Busters 4th of July show and was lucky enough to bring home some "hardware"

No thread, the installation kit had instructions. The hardest part was drilling the half inch hole through the pillar.

**FL71C10** · 06-13-2020, 09:06 PM

Drilled holes for my sport mirrors.

CG · 06-14-2020, 06:17 PM

My C30 came home today. I got my panel lined up to put it back on the rebuilt chassis (been done for years finally getting back on it). Tucked away my 72 K20 and 72 C10 burbs, probably never to be seen again haha! I also moved a ton of parts in to deep storage.
