So glad I happened upon this video! I recently acquired a '74 C10 that is in really good shape overall, but when I pulled out the carpet yesterday I found lots of old repairs along with some painted-over rot in the floorboards and inner rocker panels. I have yet to go over all the sheet metal in the area, but I'm sure I'll find more that needs attention. Thanks for all the helpful instruction!
Make sure you hit that subscribe button. I have a ton of other restoration/hotrod stuff coming. Don't be scared of those floors. The sheet metal is cheap and they're pretty easy to replace.
@@youbreakityoufixit9594 Now I just gotta learn how to weld. Can't be that hard, right? ;-)
@@youbreakityoufixit9594 in my truck, the outer rocker panels are good, but the inner panels are rusted out. Any advice on how to go about replacing the inner rockers without wrecking the outer panels? I'm trying to avoid having to repaint the truck, but that may not be possible.
@@ronjennings7533 is the floor rusted out too? you can just cut out the rust spots and make panels just big enough to cover the area and be as conservative with cutting as possible. If the floor and the hinge pillar aren't rotted you could just leave it and repair it when it absolutely needs to be. No sense in taking a truck off the road that doesn't need to be.
@@youbreakityoufixit9594 the floor WAS rusted out, but it was "repaired" using an old real estate sign from the 70s. I wish I could post a pic with this comment, because it's really amusing. It seems the previous owner replaced some of the exterior body panels, but simply painted the inner parts with rust converter. The rocker panels are only 50-60% there. I can probably leave it for the time being, then address it when I'm ready to repaint it. That won't be for a year or two yet, and I'd rather be able to drive it between now and then.
