Watching this remembering my third gen Camaro is sitting in my garage with the lower control arms and rear subframe both inside the cabin, with the floors torn to pieces. Wish my rust repair would be this easy, then again I'm only 17 so I'm broke asf and gonna be doing the floors myself lol
As far as the body work segment.... this was extremely misleading, unhelpful and just plain annoying. Doofus holds the outer rocker in place for 1 second, yep looks great stace 🤪👍. Those mini half inner rockers are crap and i guarantee they booger welded it to rust. This is what happens when you try to cram a few days work into 8 minutes
Yea, they also left out the part where they bent over the fender patch panel to the fender support. If you look close, the body line isn't as crisp as the original where the fender will meet the door. Also, I wouldn't go fully welding the outter rocker or fender patch panel without checking fit with the door in place.
Tell me about it. I had a 66 short box step side the only thing that held together was the rear end. I was hard on it. something to do with Wild Oats. :-)
I used to have a 1981 GMC Sierra Grande and a 1985 Chevy Scottsdale 20 that my uncle Chris gave me when I was 12 and I wanted to fix and restore them to like when they came out of the factory so I waited till I got into high school so I could bring them to my high school’s mechanic shop but I was too late and had no other choice but to give them up because I didn’t have anywhere to put them and they were my very first trucks, I was technically the 2nd owner of my Chevy because my uncle ken was the first owner :Note My uncle Ken is my Uncle Chris’s uncle
I am not a welder by trade, nor do I claim to be an expert, but the fast motions you are using with the gun is never going to give you a decent weld. Slow is the way to get it done. leaves way less bubble gum to grind.
Replacing one bodge with another, I know it’s only a crappy old American pick up truck but at least media blast the rust out before welding in new steel, Weld through primer and wax injection after painting
It looks like Ray Charles welded that sheet metal with his feet.
(Thanks Roadkill!)
The first episode of one of the most legendary shows from Powerblock/Powernation, TRUCKS!
Now succeeded as Truck Tech.
Gotta love these old program of the late 90s and early 2000s brings back a lot of memories
I love that body style!! I had a 64 gmc when i was younger, wish i still had it!!
I am neck deep in a 66 right now.
Stacey can bring America together
damn they both need to back to school to learn how to weld.
0:49 I know where the bed rails came from LOL!😆

How did it go?
Rock crawling looks like fun, but I'm not really into it, but it's fun to watch
3👍's up thanks again for taking us all along with you
Weld like that its gonna look like the whoopty woos at a dirt track. Spot then cool. Spot then cool.
You guys make the toughest jobs look easy, but it's easier when you have $100,000 worth of tools and a lift and a cool garage
You dont need 100k worth of tools or a lift.
These two sword fight
It's amazing how far both mig welding and rock crawling has come in the last 25 years. I didn't see bead locks on any of those over inflated tires🤯
But calling a fender brace a inner fender where wrong even back then ;)
Awesome video awesome show
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
You guy didn't do that rocker right@, it will work but not installed the right way, look at Brothers videos orvothers
Great video! Keep it up! Just subscribed! Documenting a couple old C10 builds myself on here!
Mel doing some work
Is this an old program from the 90's ?
1999
@@va4cqd thank you.
Yes and Stacy later became a MUCH BETTER welder....thank God.
Ok Mel, play time is over. Put the tools down and grab a broom, buddy.
My wife Debbie has a 66 that her father bought new. Very little rust on it. She has a video of it on our channel.

They don't rust out where the panels meet, genius
Just leave the rust and call it "patina".
too bad stacy need to go to welding school to learn how to weld.
Too staged.
