Replacing The Rusted Out Rocker Panels On A '66 Chevy - Trucks! S1, E1
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
On this episode of Classic Trucks! hosts Mel Fair and Stacey David cut old rusty rocker panels out of a ’66 Chevy truck, and show you how to save money and a trip to the shop by welding in your own rocker panels and fender extensions. After that, the guys make a trip to Tellico to take on some downright dangerous and hardcore 4x4 trails. Once back at the shop, they show you how dress up your own SUV with fancy woodgrain inlays.

It looks like Ray Charles welded that sheet metal with his feet. (Thanks Roadkill!)
The first episode of one of the most legendary shows from Powerblock/Powernation, TRUCKS! Now succeeded as Truck Tech.
damn they both need to back to school to learn how to weld.
Watching this remembering my third gen Camaro is sitting in my garage with the lower control arms and rear subframe both inside the cabin, with the floors torn to pieces. Wish my rust repair would be this easy, then again I'm only 17 so I'm broke asf and gonna be doing the floors myself lol

I am neck deep in a 66 right now.
Gotta love these old program of the late 90s and early 2000s brings back a lot of memories
0:49 I know where the bed rails came from LOL!😆
It's amazing how far both mig welding and rock crawling has come in the last 25 years. I didn't see bead locks on any of those over inflated tires🤯

But calling a fender brace a inner fender where wrong even back then ;)
You guys make the toughest jobs look easy, but it's easier when you have $100,000 worth of tools and a lift and a cool garage

Rock crawling looks like fun, but I'm not really into it, but it's fun to watch
Is this an old program from the 90's ?

Yes and Stacy later became a MUCH BETTER welder....thank God.
Ok Mel, play time is over. Put the tools down and grab a broom, buddy.
Mel doing some work
Stacey can bring America together
Tell me about it. I had a 66 short box step side the only thing that held together was the rear end. I was hard on it. something to do with Wild Oats. :-)
You guy didn't do that rocker right@, it will work but not installed the right way, look at Brothers videos orvothers
My wife Debbie has a 66 that her father bought new. Very little rust on it. She has a video of it on our channel.
I swear this has been uploaded before.

As far as the body work segment.... this was extremely misleading, unhelpful and just plain annoying. Doofus holds the outer rocker in place for 1 second, yep looks great stace 🤪👍. Those mini half inner rockers are crap and i guarantee they booger welded it to rust. This is what happens when you try to cram a few days work into 8 minutes

Yea, they also left out the part where they bent over the fender patch panel to the fender support. If you look close, the body line isn't as crisp as the original where the fender will meet the door. Also, I wouldn't go fully welding the outter rocker or fender patch panel without checking fit with the door in place.
I am not a welder by trade, nor do I claim to be an expert, but the fast motions you are using with the gun is never going to give you a decent weld. Slow is the way to get it done. leaves way less bubble gum to grind.
Just leave the rust and call it "patina".
I used to have a 1981 GMC Sierra Grande and a 1985 Chevy Scottsdale 20 that my uncle Chris gave me when I was 12 and I wanted to fix and restore them to like when they came out of the factory so I waited till I got into high school so I could bring them to my high school’s mechanic shop but I was too late and had no other choice but to give them up because I didn’t have anywhere to put them and they were my very first trucks, I was technically the 2nd owner of my Chevy because my uncle ken was the first owner :Note My uncle Ken is my Uncle Chris’s uncle
Replacing one bodge with another, I know it’s only a crappy old American pick up truck but at least media blast the rust out before welding in new steel, Weld through primer and wax injection after painting

They don't rust out where the panels meet, genius
too bad stacy need to go to welding school to learn how to weld.
Too staged.
