Some before and during pics of our new 84 c10.

Well my old man traded his 86 4x4 for an 84 c10 the first of March or so. We've been doing bodywork on it since to fix dents and the rust on the bed. I just wanted to share some pics with you guys of the progress. I know some of you guys are probably like me, LOVE seeing before during and afters!!!!!

So here we go.....






The fender was removed to gain access from behind to push out the huge dent. We are the 3rd. owner of this truck, and the PO had it for about 3 months, he got it from the original owner, who hit a pole with the fender and kept going. it scratched, and dented the fender, bad dent in the back of it. Bad dent in the door from it, and dented the bedside also. We pushed and beat what we could out, then used a dent puller/slidehammer on the rest, then bondoed it to smooth it all out.





Sorty to say I didn't get any before pictures showing how bad the dent was on the fender or door though, but you can see the one on the bedside in the above pics.

Here's some during pics. The bedsides were the only spots on the truck with rust, and the cab corners had 2 small areas starting to rust through. The rest was great, fenders, doors, underneath, everything was great. Has one hole on the top of the rocker DS, where the door opens you can see it on the flat surface from water running down the weather strip. Floors are perfect on top and bottom, heck the bottom of the door aint even rusted inside or out!!!! Only 2 cross sills in the bed have rot, the 2 right behind the tire, one on either side, has some cracks/holes forming. Rest is PERFECT!!!!! Inner fenders are great, and original, only the pass. side had that metal plate in the back rotted out, where the 3 bolts go. You can see that in the pics too.
