Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition

Pulled the truck out of the garage and turned it around and backed it back into garage so I could work on the driver side cab corner and bedside. Went through the areas needing attention and circled all areas with a sharpie and made notes on some areas. Grabbed a 80 grit flap disc and knocked down the paint in those area that were needing repair. Then moved on to the stud gun and Steck lever to pull out as much as I can so to use as little as possible on the filler. Worked a few areas with the dolly and hammer where it was reachable.

Had an area in the back top corner of the light housing that was push in a little and I know that this was going to be difficult to pull with stud gun because it was on the body line back there which is really strong. Got it out pretty far and finally thought I would just add a few more spot welds to fill the void, then file it down with a metal file. I was surprised how good it came out after filing.
