This absolutely makes me happy about the lack of rust everywhere on my 1967 C10. Wow! Water, leaves, helicopter seeds, just everything finds its way down the side vents. Plus, in the factory, there is no paint, no dipping in 1967 and few places for seam sealer. You have built it! It should be yours and that's for sure. ASE Master, 1978-Retired
Those side vents can be a nightmare! I was lucky enough to snag a Texas 1967 C10 & decided to leave it alone metal wise because it's really good. I did get some water in the glove box though & I'm wondering if you've had that happen on yours. Either windshield rubber or open antenna hole maybe.
@@freemansgarage I placed tight SS mesh under my air box cover. This area behind the front fender is the worst on any vehicle much less the 67 - 72 C10 pickup. Regardless of the vehicle, the bottom fender bolt needs a tap ran try it and plenty or aluminum based anti-seize placed on this bolt, even if not removing. I can always predict which bolt will fight you thus requiring the touch of a hand. So ratchet and socket on bolt to rock back & forth as it tightens or loosens. I always take that opportunity and spray some kind of quality penetrating oil, run in and repeat. Work? Yes, but less work and drill and retap the bolt hole! Best of luck. DK.

Good to see you back. Im finally getting to my cab metal work also. Working on DS rocker /corner hopefully within the next week. Replaced A pillar last weekend. Went good. got a thread going asked for help but im just going at it throwing pics up haha
I'm gonna be filling in the vents...I'm upgrading to ac, so the vents won't be used anyways...all they ever did was blow leaves & dirt into the cab, so I won't miss them...

Same here
Can you get your hands on a other set for me? I’ve been looking for both sides

Key parts makes a new replacement part but they aren’t cheap. I just found someone scrapping a cab. I don’t know if any at the moment.
