    Best media for blasting the body

    Got a quote today of $700 for cab and $1200 for rest of body… and I’ve gotten higher than that. I can rent everything I need for a day minus the media for under $350

    What is the best media for blasting the body of a 70’s K10?

    Painting the gas tanks

    My girlfriend Elaine said I should focus on the exporting and forget about the importing, so maybe I could.

    Painting the gas tanks

    Yes very nice. Are those 20gal duels! Does that only come in black? Im thinking of doing a gunmetal color to match the transfercase I’ll be painting too.

    Painting the gas tanks

    Just took off 76 duel tanks and was able to syphon them clean and not bad on inside. Outside just gunk and light surface rust. Looking for advice on primer and paint. Thanks

    Don’t you love it when…

    When you do a cab off degreasing and you discover this which I was not able to see with years of grime caked on. Are there transfer case mounts or do I just swap whole thing out?

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    I’m “trying” for as close to a rotisserie stock restoration as I can. Im going to cut the two tack welds and completely disassemble to blast and prime every crevice I can.

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    Were the stepside bed sides originally welded to the rear tailgate brace or did guys do this later? Here are pics of two separate beds with completely different welds.

    Cruise control switch year identification

    Yes! Thank you Shorty! A 76 is what I have so that will swap right in perfectly .

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    So I have 76 stepside (2nd pic) bed that needs a good amount of work and found a new bed box that needs less. I’ve noticed some obvious differences where tail lights attach but can’t figure out what this thread hole is for? Also someone removed the tailgate brackets. Does anyone sell just those?

    Gordon Auto Body parts??

    I need to replace a door on 76 resto, very difficult to find without rot in my area. So started looking for set of doors and came across the Gordon’s on FB market place (no glass)

    Update to my 86 K10 Silverado Shortbed Stepside

    Do you have a completed pic of the bed. Looking at you first pic how is bed secured to side as I don’t see the inner bed rail?
