I'm building a '57 3200 and I wish I had seen this first. Not because of his pain tips, but because I'd bet you using a C10 trans tunnel like the one here would've been far less expensive than replacing my firewall and trans tunnel. Live and learn. By the way, a lot of guys told me to double-up on the cab mounts. One guy even said to use hockey pucks. If I didn't have a shop doing the work for me, I would have.

Been watching your build videos, learned a bunch on fitting patch panels from you. A thousand thanks brother.

Awesome work as usual...love the videos. Keep up the great work brother!

Awesome job always a pleasure watching you inspires me to get back on my project that's been laying up for almost 10yrs , much love brother keep up the good work your a inspiration

Sir, I found your videos and I’d like to say.... you have basically given me a master class on how to weld! I feel like I can do my rockers and door skins myself! These videos are AWESOME!!!

This is real, everyone can relate, this is good old back yard building, well done and thank you.

You do fantastic work. Really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

Good progress. Always enjoy watching your paint work. Has to be very satisfying making such a nice difference.

It’s me again thanks for getting back to me just following along with ya your a big motivation for me on mine and wow you’re getting so much done at one time and you don’t need a camera person you got this down brother

I like the way you have tackled this project. Thanks for the update.

Lot of work brother, looking good!

Looks very nice, what a difference from before.

Welded a big patch on the bottom of the door in my 76 C20. Then I find the corner I just welded is 3/8" out of alignment with the new rocker panel. Gotta take it apart and start over. Just when I thought my day was gonna be crap you put out another video... Thanks. By the way... If I did what I should have and made a template to show the contour of the door ( like you did) I would have got it right the first time. It pays to listen to Gibson.

Hi Gibson. Inside of the cab looking good.

Man I really enjoy your videos . Teaching me a lot . Thank you

Couple of observations, I just found you about a week ago so I went back and watched your post from 2012 all the way through. Your video production has improved and your presentation is spot on. Your craftsmanship is great. My father has been doing this kind of work for his entire life, he is now 74 and still builds Rat Rods and other hot rods for 8-10 hours a day by himself (I live in another state). I think the only reason why he is alive today is because of metal and welding. He also does his own engine builds, frame work and upholstery work. Your videos have inspired me to do my own work on my Trans Ams. I have two 79 Silver Anniversary and a 72 455 T/A that I have been building budgets for other folks to do the heavy work. I decided I will do it myself now thanks to you and my father. I will try to video some of the work and send it to you. I think you should submit your video to Velocity for a show, "Back Yard Body Man" "Small Shop Maniac" something like that. Anyway Great Job, and thanks for the education and inspiration.

Good progress for sure.

Looking good. I use Ful-proxy and Select prime on my stuff and really like it. Many complain about the epoxy bring hard to sand, but I've had no problem all. Many of my paint jobs are: bare metal-Ful Poxy-maybe some filler-maybe Select Prime... Then Full Poxy to seal and color on top. No problems. Like your style.

I’m late to the party, but man that looks great! I’m ready to paint in ‘65 f100. This is just the motivation I needed! I’m a paint newbie, so my I ask you… how you determined the amount of primers & paint to mix for the interior? And how was it, painting the steering column in place? Thanks and love the channel!

Do you paint the whole truck in epoxy first and then start your repairs? Or is everything sandblasted and primered! Thanks for any info and your a true craftsman.

very good 🖒

This guy is good...wondering if painting the cab ceiling using the cup gun was ok

Painting the inside cab of a 64. Is a pint of paint to do the entire inside enough to buy or do I need more? And did you apply one or two coats??

Looking good! On the steering wheel you can fill those cracks with epoxy and I haven't had one crack again yet.

@@bondovwvw any epoxy will work in my experience. People also recommend superglue and baking soda applied in layers and sealed with superglue over the top but I've seen the baking soda shrink just enough to make it settle and either loosen or dimple.

Love your videos....I am a First Gen Camaro guy but looking to purchase a C10 project. I see you restore the 63 - 66s......Any reason you stick with those years vs the 67 - 72 model C10s ? Just curious. I like both body styles and there are plenty projects out there to pick from. Thanks.....Tom

thanks gibson

What product did you use on the surface rust after wire wheeling it clean? You have mentioned Rust Mort before. I have used Ospho with great results. I just got mine stripped down for sandblast, hopefully priming the interior in the next week or two.

Gibson63 well the reason I’m asking is because I own a clean 1993 Ford full size Bronco and I removed the interior to expose and clean everything and to basically preserve the floors as they are solid. The floors do however have a few spots with surface rust on them. My question to you is, could I wire wheel the surface rust off and sand everything with 320 grit and apply 2-3 coats of epoxy primer to the whole floor?.... after priming it I’m gonna base coat clear coat it after letting it cure for about 10 days.
