Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Weekend of March 11th, got the inside pretty much wrapped up. Steering wheel in, headliner in, cab light, sun visors, and more peel and stick inside the cab. Now it's back to the outside, need to do the marker light fuel filler, and continue with exterior paint. Will keep the pictures coming!

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Looking great Ryan. Enjoyed checking out your pictures and progress. Very nice job and help from your son and daughter. Like the idea of hiding those speakers under the dash. Since you moved the gas tank you could also put some speakers behind the seat. Good place for a subwoofer at least.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Weekend of March 25th, got back at it after a couple of very frustrating days trying the side marker light fuel fill. What a pain!!! To guys who have done it, you sure make it look easy; hats off to you. So I said the hell with it (for now)and moved on to getting more of the cab ready to paint. Got her masked up real good and primed, filled and applied seam sealer to the drip rail of the cab. Nothing exciting, but progress nonetheless. Here's some pictures.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Yes it is. I have waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy more respect for those who have restored vehicles. Kinda one of those thigs when I bought the truck, "Sure, I'll throw a coat of paint on, new tires, some Armor-All and down the road I go." Boy was I wrong.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

April 1st - got the bed back on the truck and figured out where the top trim goes. Takes alot of patience to get it just right where it will line up with the tailgate molding. Finished wetsanding the bed with 600 grit, seems smooth as a baby's behind. Getting closer to paint! Also, let my 12 year old cut loose with the welder while I sanded. He loved the instant gratifaction of the welder. I loved the fact that he's taking interest in something other than computers or video games.....

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Major update!! Yesterday I got the green on the outside of the truck. Turned out great in my opinion for a garage paint job. Finally, some REAL progress. I'll have some buffing to do, but I'm very happy with the results. White stripe will go on this Saturday. Getting closer....

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

April 8th, got the white on the exterior. Turned out great. The only thing I would have done different was to mask off the white stripes, paint the green, then go ahead and mask off the green to paint the white. This would have saved me lots of sanding the area where the green oversprayed onto the primer. Anyways, I guess you live and learn. I taped the lines where the white was to be sprayed then hit all those areas with 600 grit wet to abrade the surface so the white would stick. Lots of extra work, but it did turn out good. As always, comments are welcome!

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Just found your build after checking out paint forum. Did you end up going with the 50/50 mix of color and clear on final coat? Truck is looking great. Good job!!! Nevermind. Went back and finished the paint thread. When the time comes ( long time away ) I plan on using the same method.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Looks good! We just finished mine a few weeks ago and we sprayed all the white first let it flash and masked it. Then shot the blue...let it flash and shot the clear. It's a lot of work for two-tone no matter what you do. Nice work.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Don't mean to make you jealous! I can't explain how stoked I am with the results. Are you going to paint yours yourself? Nothing more satisfying than taking the masking tape off after that two-tone!

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

April 15th, got the doors sanded and buffed. Turned out great. Got the door glass and trim on and hung the doors. Actually starting to look like a truck for the first time in six months.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Are those new aftermarket mirrors on the door? If so, what is your opinion on the quality? I am still wrestling with whether to weld up the original holes in my doors as you have done, and go with the west coast jr. mirrors, or go back with sport mirrors.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

The actual mirror heads came from LMC. The arms (brackets) are original. Bought from a member here on the board. The arms are super solid - would highly recommend tracking down some originals. The heads aren't great, but not too bad. I think I'm going to be happy with them, but the test will come once the truck gets on the road....

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

April 28th, I finally got a weekend where I could work on the truck. Got both front fenders sanded and buffed, and installed. Had a tough time geting them lined up right, but I think I got them pretty close. I'll have to adjust the doors some more, and should be good to go. Also finished the new engine harness and forward lamp harness wiring. Hooked up the CHARGED battery and tried to start the truck for the first time since December, but nothing - no power anywhere! I have all ground straps hooked up and I've got power to the engine side of the main junction box only. The fuse box inside the truck is dead. I'm thinking that when the new harness junction box (M & H) is packed so full of grease that maybe thet grease limits electrical contact? Anyone else had this problem? I ran out of time last night, or I would have cleaned all the grease out of both boots and tried again. Anyways, progress nonetheless.

Re: Ryan's 72 K10 Build

Last night, I fiddled more with the wiring and finally got power! Turned over the engine for the first time since December. Talk about re-lighting the fire on a project! I'm ready to plunge ahead and get the project finished now.
