C- Piller
« on: April 25, 2017, 07:29:45 PM »
Here a question for the body work guys. I bought my C10 because I needed a truck for work purposes. And at the time I didn't have much money, but really needed a truck. So I got one that needed some bodywork, for cheap. But now that I can kinna afford it, I want it to look better. My biggest issue is the cab c- Piller is a little dent in and the passenger door doesn't close all the way. Here the question......Is the price to fix the cab piller worth it, or is it cheaper to just go buy another truck to fix up???

Depends on if you know how to weld, or know someone who can do it cheap. I would say that section would be a cut and weld from a donor truck- there is an upper body line that is a partial weld and braze, then you can measure from there down and splice in the new piece.
