Well got all the pieces home from the paint booth and got all the masking pulled off to finally see the two tone on the cab and I am one happy camper with how it came out. Have spent the last couple of days starting to cut and buff the paint to get a super smooth shine. Took a couple of breaks to start putting things back into the cab. Got the new dash pad installed along with the complete heater, installed the gas pedal and various new grommets into the firewall. The goal this week is to get the bed back together and then next weekend put the cab back onto the frame for the final time.

That looks amazing. Love the blue.

I always love when you can click the ratchet from loosen to tighten. Time to put it back together!

it is very satisfying to see the pile of parts get smaller and empty boxes and bags being tossed out.

Fantastic work! I lov e the color. I do question on whether it would have been good to spray into the footwells a little since the body color is usually visible there.

obviously you spent money on buying new body mount rubbers?

The factory carpet goes up that far, and for any other small area up there I am getting some of the paint put into a spray can, as it was next to impossible to get the main spray gun up there. My grandfather just built a similar body C10 and we used where that carpet landed as a guide.
