84 c-10 repaint

[Swims350]

Well I'm sure alot of you know I aint been on much, well I been really busy. I wanted to post and show some pics of what's been going on. I been on this since the last couple days of July, repaint of dad's 84 c10 chevy truck and some rust repair.

It was like this....




Those were from about a year ago or so too, at our old house.

Now some new ones of what's been going on.




Spring hanger is rusted, ordered a new one to replace it while the bed's off.



Stripped everything, cab visor, grille, molding, lights, almost everything.
Cut off the old outer cab corners, and primed the inside,


That's rust stopping primer, trying to avoid anymore rust.
I also bought some flanging pliers, since I don't have a welder I flanged the old stuff, then used panel bonding adhesive to glue on the replacements, along with some rivets to hold it til the glue dried.

rocker panels too....





Then I got started sanding and priming what went to bare metal, while the glue had alot of time to dry.


















finished up on the cab corners and rockers, then primed them....





While doing this I found a can of timber wolf chew from 2005 in the cab corner on the driver's side and some sunblock from probably 84 LOL

sorry I haven't posted yet guys been busy on it and got pics, need to get more and post. The inside is painted, and I'm trying to finish up on the pass. fender and door, plus a dent in back of the cab, and the emblem holes. Once that's done it's time to wet sand and paint the cab and front end. Hood has to be wet sanded and it's ready. Got to replace the hanger still, and clean/paint the frame with zero rust gloss black.

Definately watch for updates guys, should have more pics in the next few days.

I like the marquee tent,i have the very same one but its a bit battered and torn with the gales we had last year...if that adhesive is anything like tiger seal those panels will be on for good..

It's called silaprene and it's pretty strong stuff, says the bond gets stronger with age. It's tough enough as it is lol

  Looks good, keeping the same color? I like the Blue and there is just something about scoops on a truck hood that get my blood pumping. Keep up the good work.
