Grmpy - you and I should be neighbors. That is exactly how my projects seem to go. Start small and scope creep sets in right off the bat. The end product is always nice but usually more time and money than originally thought.

Andy - where did you get the seals and who is the maker?

More progress on the K10
Shorty

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 12-08-2019, 03:01 AM

Told the guy light blue he brings me an

Ochre bed.

JK, the guy does good work. This is the first stage on the bed, though the underside and inside are done. We finished the body dry run, drilled for the tail bezels and lower molding. We'll work on the side moldings next time. Someone stuffed a LH upper tailgate molding in a RH NOS bag. Long story I got three LH, no RH

I got my Tow Hitch fitted, after seeing one on a truck in this thread on another Longhorn.
Its a Draw-Tie 41938 and fitted up very well.

Now to do some wiring for brakes and lights.

**maverickmk** · 12-10-2019, 07:19 PM

Installed and painted a new (to me) left door.

You did a good tape up job on those emblems. I have a set that I need to do.

Metaldoc · 12-11-2019, 01:10 PM

By using a syringe there's no tapping. Ink refill syringe does the trick quite well.

I got the under side of the cab stripped. The tip-n-flip is a life saver. So far, NO rust repair!

Subtle brag? Even if it is, I am jealous. Looking good.

Andy4639 · 12-13-2019, 09:20 PM

I got the passenger side vent window done. The sray made a big difference in the assembly.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 12-14-2019, 12:07 AM

Started staying my tailgate linkage with Rustoleum bright galvanizing compound. I will post pics when they are done

Ptjsk · 12-14-2019, 01:50 AM

Installed fenders and grill!

Do the rockers, inner and outer. Once you cut into them you will most likely see why. They hold dirt and then the moisture. Always a nightmare in everyone I have owned.

**Richard** · 12-14-2019, 05:34 AM

Not installed yet, but got a present for my K10

un4gvn! · 12-14-2019, 08:44 AM

I took out the black vinyl and replaced it with dark saddle. I think it goes better with the color of the truck. Golden Ginger

**SoCoC10** · 12-21-2019, 01:03 AM

Final buff then it’s time for upholstery.
