I've watched every one of your videos and for not being a pro painter or bodyman and being a carpenter that truck is absolutely amazing. You have done a magnificent job . Keep up your great work.
Looks great! Glad to hear you put clear on both sides. In woodworking they refer to that as creating balance. Wood moves constantly with climate and you can't prevent it. With both sides sealed it will stay as stable as possible. I see people only do one side and then the board cups and they wonder why. You are to be commended on your discipline of doing things right all the way through. Now look what you have.
+19stoney64 yea man I hope this Stan stays on for a good while I know I'll have to do it agin some day but that's just the way it goes thanks for watching
Looks great man, took my bedwood and bed off today. I’m gonna copy those hidden bolts like you did there. Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate your videos, they have helped build my confidence to tear into my 64.
always wanted to do some of the things you do but work never let me. Was a fire fighter but about 9 months ago decided to have me a widow maker lol (not my choice ) so they retired me at age 47. Retirement really sucks this way but i left this place four times and was sent back four times guess they don't need me yet. i just want to say i'm with you when wrenching and welding and because of my pace maker i can't learn to weld any more. so sorry if i get in your way once in awhile god bless you have you finished the blue one Thanks again
Getting close to firing it up still got some more wiring to do should have a video up soon on the start up and drive.thanks again and merry Christmas to you and you family
Now that looks awesome. You did good. I love that color of stain. I use minwax on all of my furniture I make. I plan on a wood floor for my ford ranger I will have to some cutting and dress work before I order the wood and rails. Anyway bro good job!
always enjoy the updates and your beautiful '63.... what are your plans for it when you're completed? Will you enjoy all that hard word and drive her? Thanks for sharing and showing the results of hard work and perseverance....
Six years later, I'm wishing you well with that outstanding work you've done to your '63 Shortie. Looks stunning! I have a '65 Short-Fleet here in AZ and, like you, I ordered an Oak bed wood kit from Mar-K. QUESTION: Does their wood require protective coat(s) of sealant, or was that just your decision? I just want to make sure I don't miss a critical step. Once again, perfect restoration, Gibson! Wondering if you finished the turn-downs, as my experience has been excessive droning sound inside the cab. Best wishes with your honey!
This may be a dumb question, did the wood make the bed sit up an inch higher than the stock steel bed? I have a 59 F100 fleetside that I want to put a wood bed in and it'll sit between the fenders and not around.
That's a great looking fuel tank. Did you calculate or test its capacity yet? Also, did you put any baffles or anything inside of it and, if not, can you hear it sloshing around (probably drowned out by those echoing turndown pipes :-).
Dude, From the video when you were grinding that sheet of steel out to this one, I swear it don't seem like it's even possible to be the same truck, simply unbelievable How much money did it cost you to take it this far? Thanks amigo.
great Job, iam thinking about doing wood floor on my 69 c10, the problem is i have metal now, and my truck is allready painted, iam thinking i might do some damage to the Paint Job, is there somebody who could give me an Idia?
Your welcome, and you are right . There are some really nice trucks out there. Some with great HP Engines, corporate sponsored bells and whistles, but even the "big boys" will notice the honesty and integrity that this truck holds. This is really a nice truck.... Thanks for posting....
Beautiful truck Gibby. It shows your passion for the unit and your attention to detail man. Stunning. The bed floor looks awesome. Great job.
Your truck is a perfect example of how time, patience, hard work, and attention to details can transform a vehicle.
I've watched every one of your videos and for not being a pro painter or bodyman and being a carpenter that truck is absolutely amazing. You have done a magnificent job . Keep up your great work.
Thanks Man
This sure is one of the finest restoration jobs I have ever seen. A real pleasure watching you work, Sir!
never gets old watching this. if you were my dad i think you would get tired of me hanging around you awesome teacher
Rudy Flores Thank for watching
Truck looks amazing ! Your attention to detail is better than many of the high dollar shops out there .

Good deal man 👍
Excellent video I'm right at that stage with my 55 Ford F100 put in a raised bed outstanding job
Beautiful restoration. This is top notch stuff, better than most professionally built rides. Thank you for sharing with us.
We like how you used the weights to hold the bolts down while you put nuts/washers on from the bottom. Nice trick!
Thanks for watching
Appreciate your taking the time to share. Great job!!
Very good job, sir! Shes beautiful!
It's amazing how someone can restore a truck back to original but make it 100 times the truck it ever was!
I’m building a 59 Apache fleet side bed this is coming out gorgeous my friend😜

I love your truck!! Can't wait to see its maiden voyage....
Excellent work. I don't if I've ever seen better. I sure haven't done better myself. That truck is awesome.

Thanks for watching the wood is still holding up

love the truck man!
Que buen proyecto amigo, y que bien trabajas.
Te sigo desde Argentina
What gas tank is that? Awesome work by the way.
It’s a stainless steel tank I custom made and a friend of mine done the welding
hello how are you, very good job. You could help me with the dimensions of each of the woods. greetings from South America
Great job to perfection. I couldn't use it as a real truck. I'd be too scared to scratch something.
Buen trabajo👍👍
That's a great looking fuel tank. Did you calculate or test its capacity yet? Also, did you put any baffles or anything inside of it and, if not, can you hear it sloshing around (probably drowned out by those echoing turndown pipes :-).
Looks good what kind of wood did you use?
Looks amazing
How many coats did you apply of the exterior 450 stain? Thank you
You my friend are good, I mean WOW !
So beautiful!
super chingona esta camioneta.
Hey Gibson, did you buy a wood kit or did you cut the wood strips yourself? It looks great.
I bought the wood kit and strips from Mar-k
Perfict👍🏻
Were those magnets to hold down the bolts to get the nut and washer on easier
There Dollies out of my hammer and dolly set for body work
one nice truck..
Dude, From the video when you were grinding that sheet of steel out to this one, I swear it don't seem like it's even possible to be the same truck, simply unbelievable How much money did it cost you to take it this far? Thanks amigo.
Skeefoo Panama Never kept up with the dollars-- just when I had it I spent it Thanks for watching

Your welcome, and you are right . There are some really nice trucks out there. Some with great HP Engines, corporate sponsored bells and whistles, but even the "big boys" will notice the honesty and integrity that this truck holds. This is really a nice truck.... Thanks for posting....

N Lund that truck is probably over 30 invested in it, no doubt

I did something very similar, my plans from stodoys helped me with this.
Nice truck, not very instructional though
basham4107 Not meant to be but thanks for watching
