If you are doing that well using flux core, you'll find it a breeze with gas shielded.

Re: 1965 c10 patina build

Yes I know but what I have is all I could afford at the time. It has been a great little welder. I would love to upgrade to a better one with gas so much better to weld with

I just wanted to say you were doing a great job with the tool you have.
That's all I have for now also.

Re: 1965 c10 patina build

Good work! That fender looks very rough. Is a replacement fender a possibility? I guess it could be challenging to match the patina though.

Re: 1965 c10 patina build

I am planning on priming the rockers light gray and thought I would do the same to the patch panel on the fender. I hope it looks of like that

The bed wood looks great. What type of wood are you using?

Re: 1965 c10 patina build

It is pine I am staining it the dark color you can see on one of the short boards in the picture. What color should I paint the metal strips?

Re: 1965 c10 patina build

I didn't repaint my strips, but they still have some of the original, black paint left. I really like the look of the black strips with the color stain I have. Post 588

Re: 1965 c10 patina build

It's great to hear it run! For the radio cut outs, did your truck come like that, or did you have to repair and cut out for the radio? I will have to do mine soon and have a template, but will have to make sure it is correct.
