We are building our 63 c10 and we use your videos a lot as learning tools along the way. We do wish you were still making content!! We are excited to start the cutting and welding soon enough.
You are a craftsman. I would have thought that cab was a basket case. Good to see you wearing the face shield when grinding. Too many people think that wheel will always stay together.
I'm a new subscriber and just want to thank you for showing your work so well and not having any music it's wonderful. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Let me tell you something Gibson63 when I started watching your videos going through a few things not knowing if you were an expert or just someone with a passion or both. Man you have a work ethic that we seldom see anymore. I have a 1961 Chevy Apache that I'd like to get going on, I just haven't worked much on vehicles since I was 15 years old. Well obviously simpler things like brakes, oil changes, etc., but nothing extensive. That being said I find myself constantly reading and looking through videos. You absolutely have made me say to myself that I've got to get this done. When I saw your 63' my mouth dropped open. I love it! I wanted a 63' because of my birth year, but hey maybe some day in the future. Man thanks for these videos !
thanks for your videos. They are really helping me along with my 64 C10. I have extensive floor repair and a pillar repair going on, and your videos is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks again!!
We just made out first attempt at an outer floor repair on our 63, had to cut the back end off and splice 1 1/2' and cut the front corner and splice a pizza slice to fit too, out cab support needed to be cut the same way, almost seemed like we ended up fabricating it from scratch for how much we cut it up. Your videos have been so helpful to us, thank you so much! I need to work on my hammer and dolly work for sure too! been a long time since i used them.
Going back to your red chevy you have made some of the best tech videos on youtube . this is by far one of the the best I have ever seen. thanks so much for sharing.
I agree, and if I can expand on this idea, I am a total virgin about doing this and watching each and every miniscule step matters. It is fascinating. A true tutorial, rather than a parts parade with some grab-ass idiots. Thank you!
You do amazing work. I used to be kind of bummed that my California C10 had a few rust holes in the floors, but I need to be grateful because it could be way worse.
Looks like the kind of rust we get here in Maine. If you're lucky enough to rescue one before the crusher gets it. You do great work. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome job, Sir! I thought for sure that driver's side was going to be a beast to tackle when I first saw all the rust and rot, but the way you ate it up one piece at a time made it look easy. Great work.
you are so talented and you are an honorable man. I understand by what you were doing that you love your brother because of the work that you are doing on his truck only a brother that has love for his other brother can do something like this. may God bless you in anything that you do
Thank you for making these videos Steve. I'm going to have to do everything you're doing on my 63 gmc with the factory v6. Neat trick with the witness board. Just started on mine with the help of my 12 year old grandson. We are replacing all brake wheel cylinders and brake hoses right now. Gonna try the body work myself and if it doesn't work out, I think I'll trailer it up to you.LOL Wish you were my neighbor. Kenny
Thank you for this great video, you do some amazing work and I am learning as I go and all of what you have done to your truck I will have to do to my 66 GMC. Thank you for this very informative and enlightening class!
Man, you really are rescuing that nice old truck! First time I have watched your channel and have subscribed. I really enjoy how you do your videos, showing more in ten minutes than most do in 10 videos. Thanks man, keep at it.
I've watched a LOT of your videos and learned a great deal from all of them. Your truck is, I believe, a '62 while my truck is an '86 - both Chevies. My truck is badly rusted but not as bad as yours. The repair principles are exactly the same and now I can see just how to attack mine. So, I've not only gotten knowledge from your vids, I've gotten courage. LOL Can't thank you enough for putting these videos up.
Love these old trucks. Good to see someone helping save another. You are doing better about explaining every video.talking more, showing what your doing. What are your plans for the truck ?
Great videos Gibson and great skills! I had to do some floor pan patches on my chevelle floor but my 65 C10 needs floor work, rockers , cab corner kick panel patches quite abit more extensive repair like you been doing . I think ill be able to tackle it after seeing your videos thanks so much!
I'm looking at doing the same fixes to my 64 and 66 c10. I also have a 64 c20. Though I don't think it'll be easy, after watching your videos, I know it's possible. Thanks for the videos
Great job brudda! I had to re subscribe for some reason, but I've always learned something from your videos. I have to do this same thing to my 84 K30 but mine is the little worse than your truck. 👍
Subscribed! Thanks for going through all the trouble of documenting this just to teach us with no personal benefit. Did you ever consider having the cab blasted to see the cheese easier?
Awesome video. For the non-welders who are looking to get this done, what's a fair price for this sort of work or asked another way, how many man-hours would you say this video entailed? Thanks!
the low parts of these trucks Needs a design change.If you look at all of the chevy truck floors.where dose most of the dirt and water end up.You need to bring the floor up by 1 to 2 inches to divert the water away from any corners or low spots.Just buy doing that you will no longer have a floor issue again
great work ! a dying art ! I have to do the same to my truck. What would be a good price to pay for the same work done . The cab corner , inner and outer rocker panels ? your advice would be appreciated. thank you
This is super helpful. Looks like I will have to do basically the same job on my 61' c10. Just got a MIG welder but have no experience. This job looks up there on the difficulty scale. How many hours of work would you say this video encompassed?
Another great video.... one question... I have to place a patch in the middle of the floor in the cab from the previous owner cutting out a hole to place a floor shifter instead of fixing the steering column shifter. I am sort of new to welding and I am wondering what your thoughts would be as to where I could place my ground clamp that is decently close to my welding area. Do you think just placing the ground clamp on the side by the rocker would be ok?
Great videos buddy! You just showed me easier ways of tackling my truck than I planned on.. Question, I am in the middle of burning in the replacement lower outer panel piece just like you did and I have the same gap towards the front kick panel edge. What did you do to fix that? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks buddy.
DoobieBro After everything was welded in around the floor I clamped/hammered and dolly those gaps in and welded in strong, seam sealer will finish the gaps in the floor board
Sorry, just to understand clearly did you bend up the angle on the new piece flat to stretch it to the kick board? I thought about slicing and adding more material.. Thanks.
RustyJeep don't really have a preferred brand on these tools just don't like buying the cheap stuff don't seem to last, spot welder cutter came from car quest grinding and cuttoff wheels come from lowes
Great vid. I have 1 question I by no means am a welder so I had a guy from Craigslist weld me a driver's floor pan, and rocker on my 84 c10. Paid him he left so I thought everything was cool but I went to hang door several days later and the door doesn't fit. Is there a easy fix for this? Can a 1" section of floor be removed and the rocker/cab area stretched or pushed apart with a hydraulic ram? Or something else? Thank you for any suggestions
He should have test fit the door before the first spot welded I’d get someone else to look at that ,might be able to grind down the welds and adjust the rocker to fit the door, really hard to say without looking at this first
I'm fixing to do the same repair to my 66. I like how you left the cab supports and set everything up off that, good info
Cool deal man thanks for watching
We are building our 63 c10 and we use your videos a lot as learning tools along the way. We do wish you were still making content!! We are excited to start the cutting and welding soon enough.
Thanks for watching man, I’m looking for a new project to start hopefully I’ll have some videos up soon
@@Gibson63. that’s awesome can’t wait. You make it look easy af.
You have to do the restoration on these trucks for the love of the truck ! Always loved the start & what you have at the end ! Great job sir !
Thank you for showing how to do this. You gave me the confidence to buy a 65 chev truck and try myself.
You are a craftsman. I would have thought that cab was a basket case. Good to see you wearing the face shield when grinding. Too many people think that wheel will always stay together.
It's amazing what a skilled craftsman can do with basic tools. You just got a new sub.
Thanks
I love it when you get to "weldin and carryin on". 😂
You sir are the man and I appreciate your series.
I'm a new subscriber and just want to thank you for showing your work so well and not having any music it's wonderful. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I am impressed , most people would have said forget it it is too far gone, let’s get another truck. Thanks for sharing your work with us.
I’ve fixed my truck after watching these videos
thanks for your videos. They are really helping me along with my 64 C10. I have extensive floor repair and a pillar repair going on, and your videos is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks again!!

These videos are a gold mine.
You do amazing work. I used to be kind of bummed that my California C10 had a few rust holes in the floors, but I need to be grateful because it could be way worse.
Looks like the kind of rust we get here in Maine. If you're lucky enough to rescue one before the crusher gets it. You do great work. Thanks for sharing.
Your son is so lucky if he's interested in learning all this from you. Great work! I wish I had those skills.
it is amazing how every repair panel is available for that truck! Awesome job fitting them all in!
Awesome job, Sir! I thought for sure that driver's side was going to be a beast to tackle when I first saw all the rust and rot, but the way you ate it up one piece at a time made it look easy. Great work.
you are so talented and you are an honorable man. I understand by what you were doing that you love your brother because of the work that you are doing on his truck only a brother that has love for his other brother can do something like this. may God bless you in anything that you do
wish we were related or neighbors, we enjoy a lot of the same hobbies. Love your videos mate.
Tip of the hat to you, that's hardcore, most folks would have found another cab. Nice job.
I`m Glad To See You Are Building A Truck To Haul All Your Best Of Show Trophies Home! That Red Truck Is Top Notch!

Hey we didn't get to hear the guitar man play! You are really getting down to the bare bones on this one.
I have to do this to a 76, and this was very helpful.

Subscribed! Thanks for going through all the trouble of documenting this just to teach us with no personal benefit.
Did you ever consider having the cab blasted to see the cheese easier?
I tip my hat to you sir. You are braver than I am
That's a good trick with the measuring stick.
Awesome video. For the non-welders who are looking to get this done, what's a fair price for this sort of work or asked another way, how many man-hours would you say this video entailed? Thanks!
Great work. Thanks for posting.

Came out really nice.

Mike
Oldvet1946 yes I've won a few this year had some good times in and out of car shows and cruise ins thanks
Amazing really good video
great work ! a dying art ! I have to do the same to my truck. What would be a good price to pay for the same work done . The cab corner , inner and outer rocker panels ? your advice would be appreciated. thank you
Awesome work there bud!!!!

That’s exactly what I did mounted the ground clamp to the side of my rocker when I welded any of the floor patches
Really enjoy Gibson 63 videos. Lets see what happens
Great job
Awesome work sir !
16:00 when you know it was all worth it :D GREAT video. Thanks!
Great videos buddy! You just showed me easier ways of tackling my truck than I planned on.. Question, I am in the middle of burning in the replacement lower outer panel piece just like you did and I have the same gap towards the front kick panel edge. What did you do to fix that?

Can't wait to see it done!!!
Lookin good , tons of work
MrFireman164 Lots of work no doubt
Did you replace the cab mount bushings, there looking like my old ones, I put polyurethane on mine, they worked out good
Xtreme Scratchers I Will be Replacing cab mount bushings before I start on the bed
Another great video. Do you have a preferred brand for spot weld cutters, cutoff / grinding wheels, or for any other tools that you use?
RustyJeep don't really have a preferred brand on these tools just don't like buying the cheap stuff don't seem to last, spot welder cutter came from car quest grinding and cuttoff wheels come from lowes

Fixin to attempt the same thing on my 69 stepside, enjoyed the show, thanks man
What type of welder do you use great job also im learning alot 👊
Cary Christian Lincoln mig 135 with gas
Great video im working on mine and need the same parts where did you get them from?
Patch panels came from classic parts
@@Gibson63. thanks👍
Thanks for showing
Dam, nice work!
,looks good, where do you buy the parts? AL
Classic parts
Great vid. I have 1 question I by no means am a welder so I had a guy from Craigslist weld me a driver's floor pan, and rocker on my 84 c10. Paid him he left so I thought everything was cool but I went to hang door several days later and the door doesn't fit. Is there a easy fix for this? Can a 1" section of floor be removed and the rocker/cab area stretched or pushed apart with a hydraulic ram? Or something else? Thank you for any suggestions
He should have test fit the door before the first spot welded I’d get someone else to look at that ,might be able to grind down the welds and adjust the rocker to fit the door, really hard to say without looking at this first
Its like a big old rusty jig saw puzzle.
Hey if you had to do a rocker and floor pan would you do them at the same time or the rocker first then the pan or?
Very important, where did you get the inner cab corners bottom rear?
MrJoeGarner All these patch panels came from Classic Parts
