    The rounded top bolts are called carriage bolts. Love the bed project. Laughed hysterically at the makeshift work stand fail. Reminded me of times I’ve done the same thing.

    * Cool ! You got the light I sent you for Christmas ! I was worried the porch pirates got it. Thanks for the entertainment this year Mr. Anderson. I sent those to each of my four favorite sites this year. Those are great lights. Cheers Buddy and Happy Holidays to you and Laura and the family. (Paul) 🎄

    I like that you are using this truck to actually do truck things now and then. Too many people turn pickups into trailer queens these days. Looking forward to many more videos of the pickup, as well as Mabel.

    I'm a fan of "character" especially if it was done 50+ years ago. Then again, I'm not a shiny paint guy either so there's that... PS - @29:05 couldn't agree more.

    paint used motor oil to protect it. Burn it with a blow torch. It will srink 3/16 each side when dried out. You could weld in one Ince square tube in the gaps. Let go rusty. Maybe needs some arty box. Carry a jack tow rope tools. Old coke fridge cut up. 👍👍☃️🇬🇧 great job. Maybe weld some 3/4 rebar around skid plate. Or some sacrificial rub bars. Make some sparks. 😂. Happy new year.

    14:23 the hood ornament broke off Edna a whike back, so we did a couple videos cutting out the metal on the hood and weldlding in a patch. Since Edna is a patina truck everyone said the leave the patch visible because its part of her story now. Which was a great way to look at it. So we gound down the welds and left the patch for all to see

    Nice job on the fabrication of that skid plate. One more place to stop oil leaks from hitting the garage floor. Thats a lot better than Bigee Crane and Rigging did with their Hyster fork lift that was leaking oil. They had a huge piece of plastic hanging down that collected the oil that leaked from the oil pan. they were too lazy to change the gasket and just kept working that Fork Lift to death. Thanks for the video and Have a Happy New Year

    I might save one of my favorite old "Fixes" but I like the clean old lines of the body and those fenders need some work. I'm with you on the hood fit too. Good idea to fix the wheel base. I've seen and driven old trucks you could see all 4 tires from the back.

  • @stomper2582
    @stomper2582 17 днів тому

    If you fixed the fenders and left them bare like you did your old 40 ford it would look good. Right now it looks like a rat rod hybrid. Still a good looking very desirable truck. Your upgrades are flawless. Good job.

    First off, Merry Christmas to you and yours! Also, in case you aren't aware, but I bet you are, when putting down decking, make sure the bark side of the board is up. That way, as it dries, it will arch up instead of cupping and holding water.

    Very cool 🤙 for stain application use a wool pad or rag wax on wax off much easier. A roller is a pain you have to completely soak it then it's messy. You can burn the wood a skiff for darker grain definition. I'd hit it with a clear of some sort first couple coats of stain don't last long. You could also hit hit with clear stain 2-3 more times then it'll last for a few years. If not you have months before it fads
