1972 C-10 low buck cleanup

[P-stone]

The rust is pretty good. It spent most of it's life here in the Va Beach area filled with salty humidity. I might end up looking for another cab, mine's rusted out good at the spots where it mounts to the frame. The chassis is still solid, just has some surface rust. When doing the front, I sanded, primed, and sprayed the chassis back to halfway under the cab. When I remove the bed to work on the back, I plan on finishing the chassis cleanup all the way back.

That major rust spots I've just cut out so far (body panels and firewall, not the frame! lol). I don't have a welder or any sheetmetal fab skills currently, but at least I cut the cancer out for the time being. After I purchase a welder in the future, I will attempt welding in replacement pieces. That's my favorite part about this project, is that it's going to be a gigantic learning experience. For the last 4 years, I've been into modifying imports (tastefully, not rice), so this is a welcome change!

Thanks for the comments so far!





Edit - it does look about 1.3 inches too big for a 350, doesnt it!!
