Great idea with the box fan and the furnace filter!

Sweet I been building my dads ol 64 c10 for 5 years now and I’m coming along nicely bout to drop my 5.3LS in tomorrow I done all metal work my cab was way worse than his if this wasn’t my dad’s truck it would have been in the garbage but it’s been garage kept while building it and forever will be just remember that when they just sit in a field for years the moisture rust it out all under it

[@RIPbiker13]

Again, making it look easy. I just filled the fuel tank hole in the cab (most recent video) and I welded and filled the seams in the top of the cab. The body work isn't difficult, but extremely time consuming. Your repair looks flawless.

[@paulkc10]

That detail work will set your truck apart, no question

[@tcollier4017]

The filter in front of the fan....crafty idea! Will definitely utilize that quick trick.

[@paulkc10]

It works surprisingly well. Especially when placed up high getting the dust that circulates in the air. I need to make a couple brackets for another one.

I have been doing metal work on my 84 C10. I had to replace the driver’s floor pan, kick, outer rocker, inner and outer cab corner. I’ve never done any body work in my life, so take that into consideration. I use a straight cut line where ever possible, but even a straight cut on a curved cab corner requires tedious fitting. After I roughly cut the piece, oversized of course. I cut a few 90 degree slots, to the cut line in the replacement panel. This made quick work of getting the replacement to size due to more visual references of the existing metal. Not too far, just past your Sharpie line drawn on the back side. Any over length slot welds right up. Worked for me and took out the uncertainty of over cutting on the first fit up. Then fine tune with your wheel. Nice work. Rt. outer rocker and cab corner then off to the blaster for a complete strip.

Truck is progressing very well, repair looks awesome, going to be a sweet driver and a sharp looking truck!!

[@MarshalG1110]

Your videos are truly inspiring! Ive watched around youtube a lot and always return to yours. Thanks for what you do, and keep em coming. DIY'er for life!

[@Jaydoubleu83]

The truck looks great!

[@matt8134]

You probably know this but you will want to block sand the mess out of the back flat side of that cab corner. With a longer block than you used, so your transition is good. You will see the filler through the sanding I saw after you paint.

[@hermyherm365]

Looking good bud !

[@kennyhall2444]

That’s an interface pad usually u use it when sanding primer so u don’t sand through the primer

[@pedroguerrero7718]

Great job..good to learn thanks for shearing.

[@johnmcclellan4791]

Looks great

[@christopherkmiec6164]

Not sure if anyone commented about this already, but ya might watch some demonstrations on blending the bondo.

[@donaldbaker6961]

Nice job I’m gonna be doing the same to my 86 k 25 can I ask how long would you say it took in total was that a few weeks or months of work on the passenger side.. thank you man nice truck 👍

[@wileygailey9553]

Good work

[@general23cmp]

Does the bottom lip of the cab corner on the rocker side weld to the inner floor like the outer rocker did?

[@jayinmi3706]

I'm totally stealing that furnace filter/box fan idea. lol

[@paulkc10]

It works great

[@erikrapoport7318]

Love it!

[@donaldbaker6961]

How long would you say the passenger side took was that weeks or months of work I have the same project coming up on my 86 nice work and your truck is nice 👍

[@paulkc10]

12-15 working hours to do the entire passenger side

[@cbelsham3037]

Do you know the colour code of the original green on the truck? My 70' is the same colour and I want to stay with it but I cant seem to find the code anywhere.

[@paulkc10]

I believe it’s 529 Medium Green

[@1bad69xss4]

What sealer primer?

[@paulkc10]

Rustoleum
