    How many coats of paint?

    3 and 3 is good, if you're planning on cutting and buffing ya might want to go 4 clear, that will give ya less of a chance that you will cut thru the clear and into the base coat.

    Looking for pic's of White truck with charcoal interior.

    Yeah I'm painting it myself, first time for me too, well in the last 40 years anyways. The paint I'm using is a single stage Automotive Arts, Motocryl. It's very well priced and covers great.

    Roof Sheet Metal

    well you sure made that look simple, Nice work!

    Roof Sheet Metal

    The sheetmetal is probably 19 gauge like the rest of the truck, but once it's stretched and oil canning it will seem like a tin can (no oil cans around anymore) I know you're in a hurry but this fix will take time and some patience. Any chance you're willing to drill 3"-4" hole(s) in the inner...

    Roof Sheet Metal

    That's going to be a lot of work to fix, the metal is stretched and you'll need to shrink it back with a stud gun and a hammer like mentioned above. AMD offers a roof section now, but I can't imagine replacing one. I guess you could use a new roof to make a patch panel, but that would give ya a...

    '77 C10, Need Vin Plate Info Help

    I'd make up something for the camper info before I left it off. That would be a big red flag to anyone looking at your truck. Where are you ordering the tag from? Here's the closest I could come up with for your tag.

    hood ding repair

    Just a thought but if you have your original rusted hood, cut out a large patch panel section of the inner structure that's a few inches wider than the cracked section. Then cut out the new hood to match the patch, hammer and dolly the hood skin as best ya can then weld in the patch under it...

    hood ding repair

    A stud welder would work on the dents, but I'm guessing you don't have one. Welding the crack is worth a shot, but I'd think some type of gusset to reinforce the area would be better.

    Sealing Windshield

    Thanks Glen, I Looked in both the 78 and 85 repair manuals and you're right it did call for the sealant. Now the question is what urethane is going to give you enough time to install the glass without setting up on you to soon? I searched for the part numbers from the 78 manual but didn't find...
