    Dave Welch literally saved my life with this video. Dave talked about NOT plunging your cut-off wheel into the metal in case there is something underneath. He recommended only cutting the thickness of the metal. I am so thankful for this. As I was cutting the cab corners off my truck and removed a small section I noticed I had just missed by a fraction of an inch something that had fallen down inside the cab corner. Turned out is was 3 boxes of 22 caliber long rifle cartridges and two 12 gauge shotgun shells!!!! If I had plunged the blade in I would of cut thru all of that nonsense and probably be DEAD!

      Dwayne Lejeune I completely rebuilt my column and it’s not too bad to do. Some parts are not available so I bought a used column and pieced one together. I live in Tennessee, in Nashville. There’s a place called Truck Haven in Unionville Tennessee that has all the c10 parts you can imagine. It’s a boneyard of only ‘67-‘72 truck parts, with some, only a little, amount of square bodies. I’m like a kid in a candy shop when I go there. The owner is Chuck. Nice guy and he also ships parts too. My column works perfectly now. Just remember how you disassemble it when you tackle the job. And install a new turn signal switch while you’re at it too. The adjustment at the bottom is crucial for proper shifting, if yours is a column shift. And I also recommend, if yours is a column shift, to get an aftermarket shift rod kit to eliminate the original style shift actuator mechanism connection to the transmission. Brother’s sells them and I believe that it’s a Lokar product.

      You can use any brand/quality of wire fed MIG Welder for welding body panels. You don't need anything very powerful because welding thin panels doesn't require it. We use a 120v Miller MIG here at the shop which is good for welding up to about 1/4" thick metal.

    Great work. I just finished inner and outer rockers, lower hinge and strike post as well as cab floor patching. I used the factory assembly manual to replicate spot weld spacing and placement. It seems there are significantly fewer spot weld used in the video...i.e. spaced further apart than factory. Not sure it matters, but could be a design strength issue.

      The cab is definitely different where the firewall and fenders are. So, with that being said, the rockers should be very close to the same with maybe some slight differences possible near the front? We're confident that you could use them to replace or repair your rockers as a direct replacement or at least you'd be able to use 90% of it with some minor mods near the front.

    • @BROTHERSTruckPartsTV
      @BROTHERSTruckPartsTV  4 роки тому

      Our recommendation would depend on how much or how often you think you'll be using the Welder. If you think it's just for minor work on one project, then Harbor Freight has a few options under $700. If you think you'll be using it with more frequency, the we recommend buying something of higher quality. At the studio we use a 120v Miller wire feed Mig.

    Guys like me do more damage trying to fix the rust than the rust would in 10 years, I always appreciate nice metal work but I dont have the patience or skill to fix sheetmetal, if your like me just leave the rust alone or pay someone else to do it, besides people pay extra these days for "patina" I hate seeing people do beautiful metal work and body work just to paint fake rust on it, this truck looks great and you make this job look easy, I have seen people ruin their projects beyond repair trying to DIY metal work that's why I wont even mess with it.

    When Dave talked about the idiosyncrasies from different factories at the time, he is dead right. People have to remember, these trucks were mass produced. In 1970 most were probably still assembled by hand. Not too many robotics yet. So fit and finish is definitely gonna be different. Even when you take a door or fender off of a 1971 truck to fit to a 1970 truck. Sometimes even the same year off a different truck will have a variances!! It is a definitely a pain. Yet it is fixable.

      Agree. The fit is different between trucks and I can see the little variances. So no matter what you do, as long as it works it’s ok.

      All trucks rust out cab corners. They’re open to the elements for draining and they rust. Doesn’t matter where you live. NM, AZ Nevada etc, may be immune, but at 50 years old they’re mostly non existent or exuberantly priced. So yeah, weld in some cab corners and have a truck vs search for one 40k more than you got.

      We never cut the ends of the rocker. Once the old rocker is off, the new rocker sits in place without much need to work it. We thin that answers your concern? If not please feel free to comment again. Thank you for watching!

    More questions than answers. I'm a pretty handy guy and I can weld but that looks damned intimidating. Since this is a given problem with these trucks it seems you should slow down. This is more like you're talking to a full-time body man that only needs pointers.

      I thought this was a pretty great video on complex panel repair for a novice. I've done a few flat and basic single bend repairs on my crown vic, so maybe if you aren't comfortable with that this may be too much. aligning a door, the jamb and a corner? thats pretty complex. Probably should be intimidating. but if you take your time and align everything it can be done. I only bought a welder a few months ago, although I have welded a tiny bit at the repair facility when I worked at an airport, but never sheetmetal, that did take me some time to get right. I was actually worried I wasn't doing that great a job but his welds look pretty much like mine. I usually just do a ton of spotwelds or the material evaporates. The repairs I've done aren't nearly this complicated and it took me a while just to align the fender repair with the door.

      That's why we make videos, so you can follow along and do it yourself. Then you just let Maaco do the paint and prep.
