Default my 83 C10 - taking my time - long bed to short bed - inline 6 - garage build project

here she is shortly after I brought her home from the Nevada desert; essentially rust free but definitely has a few challenging dents I'll need to deal with



finally starting to get some work done on this 83 longbed thats been sitting at a stand still for the last 2 or so years! I'll be working out of essentially a 2 car garage. My "target" "official" start date is March 1st; got a few preparations that still need to be addressed but couldn't stop myself





overall it has a very clean and dent free bed floor, only two dings I can see; I believe it had a large camper in the bed most of its life


and a surprise rear cab dent of course

the better of my two longbed bedsides/little heavier than the shortbed style

tires mounted on my wannabe sport wheels. I'll get these put on the blue 76 today and then start working on trying to get it running (been sitting for 2 years), should be fun right!
