Re: 71 C10 LB: Code Name Sloth

Been way too long since I have gotten any work done on it!

Had to do some wiring in the garage to handle the welder. The panel and breaker were already there but I had my compressor hard wired into it. Got that fixed, so I got some blasting done! I had some issues in my wiring gutter that needed attention. Namely, the dreaded rust through...mostly just some spots where the old seam sealer allowed water penetration and fostered rust in the three sandwiched layers. From what I can see it is mainly in the level of the inner cowl to firewall. My plan is to have my helper hold a copper welding spoon to the back side of the holes while I do some small tacks across the holes and fill them in. If it doesn’t work I will then have to try the fun task of welding in a patch in that channel and I really didn’t want to disassemble my cab. Although let’s be honest here, the column gauges and outer heater box are already removed so there isn’t much more to go.
