Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Love the sink base, can you lower the gate? Hows the cab coming along?

Yes, the gate lowers. Dad made that with the old tailgate from his c10. The cab is coming along slowly. I understand now why they call it paint jail now.

Couple more pics showing the metal prep and the body work I've completed. Picked the cab up from the metal shop. Rockers are in, doors are hung, and some internal body work has been completed.Name:  IMG_3336.jpg

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Pops and I finished tacking up the exhaust, took about 3 mock ups until everything was just right. Went with a 2.5in stainless steel true dual out.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Been busy over my winter break. I was able to finish up my body work including some bondo and mostly priming and sanding. I cut in the truck and mounted the cab. Dropped the truck off at the painters, cant wait to get it back! Name:  IMG_4341.jpg

mounting the cab to the frame. My Pop and I used a 4x4, sheet of plywood, some chains and creativity to accomplish this task.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Some pictures my mother took of me while I was painting the backside of the firewall and the floor. Love to see the cab mounted to the frame. Starting to look like a truck again!

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Haven't been very active on this forum much, but there has been a lot done to the truck! The truck has been sent off to paint and is currently in the process of being painted. I used killmat to sound proof the inside of the truck. I installed the BDW gas pedal, clutch, brake, and the emergency brake as well as wrapped up the exhaust!

Some more photos of the truck panels in the shop. Going with some Altmen easy latches, should allow the doors to shut with ease!

Some photos of the bedsides, the inner doors, door hinges, AC vents, and the ash tray getting some color! I love seeing that tailgate in color.

The Cab getting a little color! I love the deep, vibrant, and intense color of the hugger orange. I wait by my phone all day for the paint shop to send me updated photos.
