Cab Rebuild
(click a picture to see a larger view)
I was able to get
the truck cab soda and sand-blasted at
Nu-Tech Soda
Blasting in Jefferson, GA. It needed both because of the combination
of old primer and bondo, plus a large amount of rust. The following are
some pictures of the cab before any work was done.

Pictures
Unfortunately, I
didn't take very many pictures of the cab after it was blasted, It
cleaned up well, but I didn't have much time to get it primed before it
flash rusted again. So, I concentrated on getting that job done as
quickly as possible. I did it myself. The following was one
picture of the backside of the cab that I took after it was primed. It
looks like a big-ass woodpecker got a hold of it.
Lanny at
Nu-Tech
suggested that I chat with Andy Matlock at
Resurrection Auto Body in
Commerce, GA. He mentioned that Andy did good work and should be able to
help me with getting any type of work done on the truck that I needed. I met with
Andy and after seeing some of his current and completed projects, I decided
to let him work on repairing the cab for me. The following are some
pictures that I took while the work on the cab was being done at Andy's
shop.

You can see that the sheet metal
needed lots of attention. Several areas had to be cut out completely in
order to be repaired correctly.
