Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Got a call from my body man the other week. He informed me that unfortunately when I had bought replacement fenders I had bought the wrong year. I had gotten 68 fenders which are not compatible with 69-72 year models. Luckily he was looking for a pair of 68 fenders for a future project of his and bought them off me for the price I paid. Sooo… I had to order a new set of fenders.

Got some pictures recently of the truck with the fenders and hood on, crazy I hadn’t seen those pieces together since 2018!!

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Stopped by the paint shop this weekend. Was great to see the truck in person. Roy and the guys at BnG paint and body in Temple Tx have been doing an amazing job. Was so nice to be able to open and close the hood, Havnt done that since early 2018! The easy latch doors are such a nice upgrade, no more slamming doors.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

Started getting some photos of the truck being painted this past week. Truck is really starting to come together, the guys at B&G paint and body have come together and have just been knocking this paint job out of the park. Started talking to a tuner in the area about accepting the truck after its completed with paint and body to wire the engine and get the truck running and tuned. Seems like a completion date is closer that I might think!

Here are some pics from the body shop:

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10

My baby got her stripe today. Love the two tone. The bed hopefully will be painted very shortly, and mated to the frame. Super pumped with the work and honestly the photography efforts from Roy. I enjoy the line of communication and the updates.

The bed is all finished up and should be mounted to the frame soon. Going to be picking the truck up from the pint shop in a couple weeks. Really looking forward to seeing her for my self!

Dropped the truck off Mid August of 2021 and planning to pick it up January 2022. The quality of work that Roy and his guys do is completely worth the 6 months. Granted I had the body work pretty close to sand and shoot by August so I am sure his turn around time fluctuates with the amount of work needed.

Man this thing is killer! Reminds me a lot of my orange truck that I built in high school and college. Enjoy these moments with your pops man, looking back that was my favorite part

Thanks man, I think that doing this project with my dad has been one of the most rewarding tasks we have undertaken together. Many memories have been made!

Np, you have a great looking truck! I was in near your parts of Texas a few weeks back buying/picking up a Rear Slider off a Craigslist seller (Katy) :-)
