Re: Heirloom - 73 C10 Cheyenne

Back to the stepper. While I was in the middle of various frame and suspension work I tried to clean up other things underneath the body. I wire wheeled and undercoated the two gas tanks. I used Dominion sure seal's BUF undercoating, it took a 20 dollar shutz gun to spray it (over some rattle can primer). This was my first foray into spraying stuff with any kind of gun setup. I was pleased with the result.

I also redid the tank straps, was able to save the metal but made new "insulation" inserts to go in between the straps and the tank from a roll of roofing felt I had laying around. New fuel pickups and socks from rockauto.

Then I put together a stand for what I call the "redneck rotisserie" and flipped the cab up on it's back. Had to grind off the little trim points so that it wouldn't dent the back of the cab. After making a gigantic mess with a wire wheel and lacquer thinner I primed and shot the underside of the cab too.
