@@pistonring8 rustbusters seem to make front sections and rear front shackle sections too. Currently doing a f150 rear front shackle section both sides.
Question just picked up a kit same side as you center left dorman for 05 f150 xlt super crew 5.4l and seems like I have to cut a side to take off length and maybe the seccond square on the inside right by the bend to make it fit right seems to long on each side thanks lmk what u think I verified the part with vin too was wondering if you have to make any cuts aswell
@@pistonring8 thank you for your honesty was very confused if I got the wrong part that’s what I figured cutting it out today for the best fit it’s nothing serious just minor cuts n it will work great making some cars board cutouts today n then cutting away! N also was wondering if you know any kits that are available for the rear right by the leaf spring have a decently bad crack got plates but seen some kits here n there just wondering if u have an answer for me want to make it strong as possible thanks
@giacomonovielli636 I haven't found any frame repair panels available for the rear frame sections yet unfortunately. I've been making cardboard templates and cutting my own pieces of 3/16" to weld in.
@@pistonring8 yea me aswell don’t mean to blow up your texts but also was having hard time finding big sheets of 3/16 or 1/4th picked up the right amount for a pretty penny at Home Depot but there only 4in wide and 12 in long so I’m going to have to weld few together in some sections and rly what I need is a big sheet of it to make the perfect cut outs if you know what I mean do u order your 3/16 sheets online or have a general store that would carry them also I’m located in pa do not know if that makes a difference of stores but yea lmk. Appreciate your responses and love your work.
@giacomonovielli636 Oh yeah, I get big cut off pieces from a local welding shop out here in Perry County. They only charge me for the weight of each piece, because they were going scrap them anyway... Check with your local welding shop.
They're literally called "slip overs" by the manufacturer. Nothing is rusty when welded. Iron oxide won't weld... Even with your little flux core rig. Glad you're still trying to learn, we're always happy to help out our fans!!
@tjs_welding_and_fabrication Ahhh... Seems like it's the definition of the term "cap" you're struggling with. Although we do appreciate your highly skilled and very educated opinions on this matter, obviously we'll have to just refer to the basic definition of the part being used on this one... Lol, thanks!!
Question for you Sir, was that a crew cab truck you were working on? If so do you remember who the manufacturer of the green part is? I’m looking for a 1 piece design, but Dorman seems to only make these for the extended cabs. Maybe I just haven’t found them yet.
All the green frame repair parts are made by Doorman. Sometimes I get lucky and find them on eBay or Amazon... The frames are similar enough to use the extended cab sections on a quad cab truck.
Really isn't much to it Doug, ya cut the frame bottom off and slip the repair section on... We'll try to slow the next one down a bit, but they're not "how to" videos for hobbyists.

Can I still use that kit even if mine is rusted from front to back
Oh sure... These are just the center sections. They make a nice solid start to weld your homemade plates and other pieces to.
@@pistonring8do they make frame rail/plates for the front section? I have a problem on one side between the mid frame and front shock mount
@@KollynJ I haven't been able to find anything but mid sections... Let us know if you do.

Yep... Sometimes you gotta make em fit. It's common.

Why did you weld over a rusted frame. You are supoosed to cut the frame and the cap takes place of it. Not an overlay.

@pistonring8 you are going to promote rust in between. Don't have a cheap Flux core either bud.

Wow! Beautiful work. I need this done to my 2005 F150 STX. Are you close to Harrisburg? Thanks in advance.
We're 15 - 20 minutes outside of Harrisburg.
Videos need to be longer
Why?

@@pistonring8 that's how a hobbiest learns is from watching in depth videos .
