Drive a 1990 F-150 love how they drive you can redo a old truck for a fraction of one of the new trucks there is less electrics so they brake down less.

Those cab corners are way easier than you might think. I live in the midwest, so I'm no stranger to rust. Loctite makes a gap filler foam that does not bow, and is closed cell so it's waterPROOF, unlike other filler foams. It's called "tite foam" because it is very rigid once cured. Cut out the cancer, spray WD40 onto any remaining surface rust. *Try to keep as much of the original material as possible. As long as the rust has been treated thoroughly, it will actually help you keep the desired shape. Let it sit for a day or two, then spray the WD out with brake cleaner or carb cleaner. You don't want any oil to remain in there. Back the section with HVAC tape or another strong adhering tape. It only has to last a few hours. Fill section with the foam, let cure. It will look really ugly. Once cured, shave the foam to the rough shape of the rocker corner, about an inch behind the actual surface of the truck. Blow out dust with air. Bondo/sand to shape. Prime, paint. Make sure that any of this material that is exposed to the elements has been thoroughly primed and painted. On my 97 Blazer, I did this all along the bottom of the doors on both sides, and painted the whole truck with Rustoleum black (it had mismatched panels all over, so this was a way to keep my 600$ truck looking good, and under $1000. Holds up to the elements just fine, working on 2 years. I've done this to numerous trucks I've kept or sold (to friends that knew I did this) and never, not once in several years has the patch failed, nor has anyone not in the know noticed. Sure, if you lift the truck up, you'll see a slight chunk there from underneath, but if you did it right, it'll save you a butt load of money and welding.

Hello. Just happened across your video and really enjoyed it. I recently purchased a beater 96 f-150 5.0 with only 82,000 miles. It too has some issues (mostly rust!) but is drivable. I will be budget fixing a lot of the same things as you.

wish you had shown welding up bed bolts and bolting bed to frame other wise realy good show

Thanks for posting this video. We have a 96 F150 and we have some tank issues to fix. Love the Johnny Cash.

aye man I just picked up the same truck with 95k miles on her! I have the XL version but I also consider myself a shade tree mechanic; I like what u have going on here, good independent energy, subscribed!

I'm doing the same job on a f350 and I love the work you have done to yours.

I’ve got the 1994 F-150 XL with the 4.9 inline 6. I’ll be replacing the driver side front fender. As well as swapping the bed. Grinding down the rust and spraying with rust reformer.

quick question: how did your brake lines hold up? Did they rust out on you yet? I found that if you rebuild them with junk from aftermarket/autozone, they tend not to hold up, compared to stainless.

Is there any part connected to the fuel tank that is in the side panels of the bed that needs to be disconnected first? I’m planning on doing a bed removal on my old ford too and I don’t really know the structure of the bed. An answer would really help a lot.

How did you fill up the gas while the bed is off?

4:35 for the man in black

I had a beautiful red 96 with a 5.0. Paid $1000 for it, towed to my place. It had a bad fuel pump. Tinted windows, Texas truck with zero rust. I pulled the bed with a winch and an old swing set frame. Stripped the frame and hit it with Rustoleum professional series roll on bed liner; hit the bed with it at the same time ($100). Changed both pumps while the bed was off ($200). Found out the oil pump was out ($100), so before lifting the engine, I removed and painted valve covers with Ford Blue ceramic paint ($10), painted intake manifold with Gray ceramic paint ($10), highlighted the letters by sanding off the high points. Changed oil pump, gaskets and reassembled. 2 weeks later, I sold that beautiful bitch for $4500. It looked better than new. $1000+100+200+100+20=1420 Odds and ends probably made it a smooth $1500. $3000 in about a month to work very part time on something to be very proud of. These trucks clean up so nice for not much at all.

Do the work plz!!
