I was going to avoid the figment of a radio......
Now it seems I may just have to copy what looks like a great idea.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
AT LAST THE CAB IS HOME !!!!!!!!!!!
Well this afternoon I finished work and headed straight to We weld in New Romney . To. collect my cab the guys down there did a great job and also put in etch primer for me . They also took me some pictures of the process mounted on the spit ![]() ![]() ![]() Once blasted they put it primer ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All loaded on the trailer ready to head home ![]() So on my journey home I called Rian and my mate Stephen from my bike club to come over with the offer of pizza , it works every time . So with Rian, Stephen and Trevor my neighbour who had arranged getting it blasted at mates rates , as he has the unit next door to We Weld , and another neighbour John from over the road, we lifted onto the chassis . Just love this picture ![]() So the next update will be showing some of the repairs . It's just finding the time that seems to be the problem at he moment , but more about that later .

I agree with Bomp! As for the lack of time, I won't mention our conversation

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
PS. I think you need to point out, the cab is resting on 2" blocks above the cab mount points, to off you dropped it down a bit more, it would looks even more mean.
I want mine to look like that now too. ![]()

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Martin, the cab looks fantastic, looks like they did a great job, having it blasted will save you weeks of work.
Love the picture of it mounted on the frame ![]()

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Looking good Martin, I only wish I had gone that route with mine, would have saved a lot of time spent wire wheeling and sanding the underside of the cab.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Thanks Rian it's funny looking at that picture you'd never guess how bad the truck was . I think I only have the tailgate , grill , and chassis left . The rest has either been upgraded or replaced .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well with the change in my personal life causing less truck time . This weekend I managed to get some truck time , due to the new lady in my life going away on a girly weekend .
Friday morning I got an email fron Ron at STS imports to say my panels had arrived . So I started work an hour earlier so I could finish earlier . So as soon as I got home I headed over to Essex to collect my Bedsides . Bedsides loaded into the car ![]() ![]() On returning home I unloaded them into the carport ready to unpack them once Kevon arrived ![]() So Saturday morning my friend Kevon , that used to work with me in the body shop , came over to my place . The main reason was to help me repair the damage in my cab roof . The before picture of the roof ![]() Kevon's spot welding slide hammer ![]() This tool makes work on a panel that is double skinned so much easier ![]() ![]() After pulling out the dents and also using it to shrink the panel , Kevon put in the first spread of body filler the roof Q ![]() Then it was a question of blocking it down reload it with filler and repeat the process ![]() ![]() ![]() All blocked ready for primer on Sunday ![]() Once the roof was repaired I got Kevon to help me lift out the bodysides from the boxes ![]() ![]() It's great to think these panels have traveled all the way from Tennessee via Miami , then into a container onto a ship and there isn't even a ripple in them so it's a big thanks to DeWayne at Nsane HotRodz parts and Ron at STS for the bedsides and Kevon for his help on the roof Tomorrow I will get the roof into primer

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Looking good Martin. I've used one of those spot welders before they're a great bit of kit. The bed sides look good too, they will save you a load of time and really push the build forward. Seems like everybody's making progress except me
