I know this was made awhile back. But when you said use oil and drive down a dusty road. That reminded me of back in the late 60s and early 70s. My family owned property near a river why back in the woods. Every time we hired an oil or tar truck to oil the road all the people living in the area would drive up and down the road to undercoat there cars.Thanks for the video enjoyed it.
In the 90s Chevy did a wax coat on the frame but it didn’t hold up worth a shit they need to prime everything with some sort of chassis saver shit like that
I am getting ready to start cutting up my old 1980 Westy VW Vanagon and stumbled on your videos! I have watched 3 of them and LOVE the lessons and you crack me up!
Damn i have a 1999 Silverado and i don't have a quarter inch of rust on it anywhere, not one bit. there are some states where if you live in them this kind of shit happens to any vehicle let alone your Chevy's. i live in California in the foothills and our trucks don't ever rust out like this. what a drag man such a nice ride.
Take it from a professional bodyman. (48 years experience) when you get your new truck, remove all plastic plugs from backside of rockers and the ones on the outer wheel housing. They are put there by the manufacturer to promote rusting, how else can they sell parts?
I just made this repair to my 06 Dakota. It rusted out due its plastic bedliner locking in moisture around the wheel housing and lip. The truck had been repainted and the bed had been half-assed repaired last year before I bought it. I knew it was going to need to be fixed within a year, because I have seen enough bondo packed into rust holes in my life on used vehicles. That's OK because I like doing metal and body work. I did the repair in the same manner as he did. I cut out the rot with a cut off wheel. The edge/lip of the wheel housing was rotted out like this truck in the video. I rebuilt the housing before tacking on the exterior repair panel, using scraps of sheet metal I had lying around. I bought a pre-formed repair panel like the one shown in the video off of eBay. I cut the repair panel down to size and slipped the new panel under the sheet metal of the bed, which was the opposite of how he did it. I don't have a mig, so had to braze the new metal in, which causes more heat distortion than a mig welder would. Use a mig if you can afford a decent one and be sure it isn't a cheap $99 model. After the exterior panel was tacked in numerous places, I started the body work. I used three different fillers. First I used a filler impregnated with aluminum (All-metal is one brand of this type of filler) to fill in the space between the new exterior patch and the original sheet metal of the bed. It makes a very strong bond that won't crack with time like regular filler might. Then I went over it with Feather lite filler and for the top coat of filler I used Pink Icing brand filler. The repair was strong and it will last for years if you take care and wash the area on a regular basis. I drilled a few tiny holes in the bedliner around the wheel housing in order to vent it a little in the future and let moisture out. This was a decent repair job shown on the video for an older truck. It does prolong the vehicle's life and looks. A lot of smaller body shops in more rural areas will charge $2500-$3000 for this repair. Its worth it, if the truck still runs good and you don't want to buy another one. The Dakota has only 116K miles on it and it runs really well and is a 4X4 V8 model on top of it. Thanks for making the video!
WHAT MAKES ME LAUGH IS HIS "OH YEAH". AND THE PART WHERE HE SAYS " I DON'T LIKE DOING THOSE ROCKERS, LAYING ON THE GROUND WITH ALL THAT DIRT AND SWEAT AND SHIT"
WOW! I,m thinking, If this truck was carbureted and a standard shift, I'd kill the ignition while doing 55 mph, Pump the gas peddle several times, Turn on ignition, And wait for the HUGE backfire, And... BOOOOOOM!!! All that rust is gone and I just turned my rusty pickup int to a 4X4 Buggy.
I remember being able to just about watch the 70's and 80's GM trucks rust right before your eyes. I saw so many of them 3 years old that were in that bad of shape.. For a 10 year old truck.. That's in good shape.
WOW! I was hoping you would upload this video. Thanks pisser, I really appreciate it. Originally my day was terrible, but this just made my day. I'm in the process of replacing the rear quarter panels on my 87 Camaro iroc-z. And this will definetly be helpful. Btw this video led me to your channel and I really appreciate it. Thanks a LOT! :)
Choochasaurus was born that day. Makes me nervous to do body work on my truck but then again once im all done with it and it looks pretty it will be rewarding.
Folks - DO not do this - this is NOT how to repair this type of damage properly. The panel should be fully welded in, ground smooth then light coats of filler.... If you are doing repairs - do them the right way first.....
Dang dude I wish I had all the resources you had. If I were your little kid in like 10 years I'd be set! I'd love to learn how to do all this stuff and get experience I'm good enough at welding but don't have a personal welder or the money or the resources to do any of this. Being 17 with a father that would rather take everything to a shop than do it yourself kind of sucks.
Take it from a 45 year old who was right where you are at 17. My dad was/is about as handy mechanically as a 12 yr old girl. The advantage you have is RUclips, and great guys like Sean to learn from. I had to visit the library and buy Chilton's manuals. My best advice, do like I did... use every extra penny to buy tools. Start with your basics: screwdrivers (buy a "6 in 1" and for the most part you will only need the one), pliers, a socket set, and some combination wrenches. Buy the cheap stuff if that's all you can afford at first. Harbor Freight is a great place for this. And keep watching the Hack n Pack shop.
Tim's right. My father couldn't change a flat. Learn from youtube, dig up what you need to know and dont be afraid to try something. And if you mess it up, consider it part of your training and try again.
Reminds me of my 1987 Chevy V20 6.2L Diesel I purchased last year though I expected it to be rusted out considering I live in the North East and it was used as a plow truck for most of it's life plus it's salt central up here
I am going to try and butt weld the wheel wells on my son's truck, it seems that is the best way when you have the time and want to do a better job. Wish me luck, I'll need it, its just a hobby for me.
The quality of this repair reminded me of the dad on Matilda...making it look like its good but totally shit the bed later on. If your going to make a how to video and post it on youtube you should actually do it right so people that dont know how to do it can know.
The way I came on here was pretty rude or crass (probably both!) and I apologize for that. Back on topic, at least he`s putting metal back in it, these videos are being put up with no secrets kept. Dealer knows what repair it is, customer knows what repair it is, no secrets there. If people wanna pay 3k extra for the same vehicle at a different dealer then that`s what they do. Most don`t :)
I had the same problem with my truck, the back fenders were rusted out and the front fenders were still solid. I cut the metal back and purchased bushwackers fender flares and my truck looks new again.
They probably can't afford to use methods that meet EPA anymore either. Chemicals get blacklisted every year. Part of the reason plastics and rubbers are failing more than they used to. Known carcinogens, etc..
So this is a 2001 truck, with the video recorded in 2012? GMC should be ashamed of themselves. As you stated, 10 years old and 30,000$ new. Not even worth 500$. Wheel arches gone, cab corners gone, rockers gone, likely the floor and brake lines and every other small undercarriage component is corroded too.
LakeNipissing GMC would look at a 2001 Mercedes and no longer be ashamed of themselves. A lot of cars by many companies from the late 90ies - early 2000s were rust magnets, regardless of the price bracket. That were the times where companies realized they cannot make the cars too good, else people will buy one car and keep it for 20 years - where's the profit in that? Also they had a lot of new engineering constraints, at least here in EU. The cost pressure rose very sharply, the weight had to go down, because fuel economy, and at the same time, the crash test ratings had to go up. A lot of structurally new models had to be conceived in a short time which lead to teething design mishaps which allowed water to go in but not ever drain out, and the material got worse because they had to use much less steel and less zinc. Newly taped out factories got microscopically pre-zinked sheets for cost saving, instead of sealing the whole chassis after welding it.
My GMC Sierra is 12 years old and rust free. Its all how you take care of the vehicle. You need to clean it. by the way manufacturers don't make vehicles to last forever. If they did people would keep them forever and they would go out of business. Look at the price of a BMW, i have seen many rusted bmws. I used to be a technician for BMW them moved to General motors. The price of a BMW should mean they never rust, right.
+LakeNipissing I know right? You think they'd be better at solving rust problems by then, and still today. Now I see 2007 and up(GMT-900) Silverado's and Sierra's with rust in some spots, it's pathetic. Their just too fucking cheap to properly rust proof vehicles.
+SUV Man I agree sure maintenance is part of it but honestly it could be a very small part. I live in the same area this truck is from i got a car from florida had it rust proofed from ziebarts and at the end of its life with barely any car washes ever (it was a convertible that leaked). when it finally went to the junkyard it had not one spot of rust. why cant for 30k they add that kind of protection and a little extra paint.
awwww yea yep awe yeah mhm awe yeah... now thats rust... yup... sum o bitch yup... love it... brother i love the video... we dont get that up here in the northeast
People complain of this being a cheap bad repair, but it is more than adequate for this truck that is worth very little anyway. No point spending good money after bad.
I have a 1999 Silverado that my family has owned since 2001 and because we simply wash it when muddy and keep it clean (and we don't live around salt) it is for the most part rust free
Living in NY I bought a 98 s10 in 2009 and it had some rust coming through the paint in the wheel wells and the rockers but looked good washed up. 5 years later the box was literally falling off the truck and the rockers, front bumper, fenders were turning into swiss cheese. It looked so bad I had to let her go even though it still was a reliable vehicle. I looked into fixing the rust early on but the truth was it was already too far gone when I got it. It didn't look it from the outside but the inside was pure rot.
honestly i don't know how u guys do it it is so much work it seems like just to keep ur truck together and that involves nothing mechanical its crazy good luck
I LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBOR STATE OF CONNECTICUT- AINT BETTER HERE SEE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS WITH SEVERE RUST SOME ARE LIKE 4-5 YRS OLD AND ALREADY FALLING APART
Those are probably Toyota SUVs and trucks that are 4-5 years old and rusted all to hell. That is what happens when your island has to rinse their steel with salt water because fresh water is too expensive! I don't notice the domestic made trucks in the Midwest rusted out and being only 5 years old. Some people don't believe in waxing or washing their vehicles either. Also sheet metal used in new vehicle production is a lighter gauge than what they used in earlier decades. Once the paint is chipped, it doesn't take long for the corrosion to eat through it. That is another problem with rust out.
That's funny, you can open the tap and get fresh water, but you'd have to transport seawater over in order to get your parts near that... Really makes you think.
Nice job. That damn road salt! You probably needed a full side panel. I would imagine that there is so much more rust under that truck, it is in its final days no matter how well you repair the body.
holy smokes !!! My dodge neon is 16 years old and the only thing rotten is the tail pipe. to bad the engine is ... not the best design. It was fun to watch you working it though .
@@foxybrown2 not around here. If you get one that's solid its slot more than 200 and it's a pain in the ass to change it breaking bolts etc. If I'm gonna replace the bed its gonna be with one that's like new which cost 1000$
GM should really issue a recall, or maybe the FTC should get on them. No reason that trucks that are less than 15 years old should be rusted like this, I've seen 2008's with rusty fenders. It's like they used the cheapest Chinese steel to assemble these vehicles.
The 2008 I have has rust in these same spots, mustve been previous owners but that mud/salt gets wedged up in there and its almost impossible to get out
+Teqo7 ok, just checking, because even though i hate amurican cars im sure almost any car would rust after living through that many years of salt and snow
"This is a 10 year old truck, guys!". For me, I am just disappointed in GM. This kind of crap has been going on with fleetside beds for decades. You'd think after all this coating technology available that the company can stop this from happening on their trucks. And always the rockers under the extended cab. My god, at least try to use stainless sheet down there!
Not what he`s paid to do. Doing it right = 2k and the difference is a year or two at most in salty NY. It`s not that the body filler or metal is gonna cost more, but the time, other materials and welding wire and gas is a killer. Customer knows what he gets, no secrets are kept, hence the video upload.
you should get a helper to hold the camera, but i must say that you are doing a great job. you cut away the rust while holding the camera better than some people hold the camera only.
My 97 1500 has 18 years of Chicago winter on it. But the rust isn't as bad as this guy. I just need to get a shop that doesn't screw me like most shops.
He didn't need to say that he loves Chevy for me to know that. Some people you can just tell right off the bat what kind of people they are and what they drive based on their vocabulary and other tells. It was obvious after a few seconds of watching for me to know he likes Chevy; bottom feeders always do. Chevrolets are for the lowest common denominators of society.
***** ...and you base this on what, your vast knowledge of my education and my personal life choices? Also, I don't think you know what "LOWEST common denominator" means so I'll help....That's compared to EVERYONE.
After you hammered all the rust off you should give it back to the customer and say " sorry man, its just too far gone we cant fix it" lmao!
aww yeah
😂😂😂😂

Hahaha
Here's a fun game. Take a shot every time he says "oh yeah."

Why did i bust out laughing when he started beating it😂
Cuz of the size of his hammer

i wish they would undercoat cars at the factory

"I love my Chevys, but I don't love that..." Hell yeah. Great vid.
Chevy rust buckets. Just like Rams, they do not know how to make a body that has any chance of surviving winters.
Kids and females love Chevy's. They are not trucks, they are pickups!
Damn man you keep beating on it wont have nothing left but a frame.
When he picked up the hammer and let out that first "oh yeah" I knew then I was in the right place ^_~

Take it from a professional bodyman. (48 years experience) when you get your new truck, remove all plastic plugs from backside of rockers and the ones on the outer wheel housing. They are put there by the manufacturer to promote rusting, how else can they sell parts?
there should be plugs there? I just have holes to let salt in.. Bastards..
I just made this repair to my 06 Dakota. It rusted out due its plastic bedliner locking in moisture around the wheel housing and lip.

After the exterior panel was tacked in numerous places, I started the body work. I used three different fillers. First I used a filler impregnated with aluminum (All-metal is one brand of this type of filler) to fill in the space between the new exterior patch and the original sheet metal of the bed. It makes a very strong bond that won't crack with time like regular filler might. Then I went over it with Feather lite filler and for the top coat of filler I used Pink Icing brand filler. The repair was strong and it will last for years if you take care and wash the area on a regular basis.

this truck aint worth but a couple grand, im sure there are priorities involved
correction I would pay tops $800 for the engine and trans

I think manufacturers just don't care anymore about rust prevention, they want you to buy a new vehicle every 10 years or so...
They probably can't afford to use methods that meet EPA anymore either. Chemicals get blacklisted every year. Part of the reason plastics and rubbers are failing more than they used to. Known carcinogens, etc..

Living in NY I bought a 98 s10 in 2009 and it had some rust coming through the paint in the wheel wells and the rockers but looked good washed up. 5 years later the box was literally falling off the truck and the rockers, front bumper, fenders were turning into swiss cheese. It looked so bad I had to let her go even though it still was a reliable vehicle.
I looked into fixing the rust early on but the truth was it was already too far gone when I got it. It didn't look it from the outside but the inside was pure rot.
honestly i don't know how u guys do it it is so much work it seems like just to keep ur truck together and that involves nothing mechanical its crazy good luck
I LIVE IN YOUR NEIGHBOR STATE OF CONNECTICUT- AINT BETTER HERE
SEE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS WITH SEVERE RUST SOME ARE LIKE 4-5 YRS OLD AND ALREADY FALLING APART
Those are probably Toyota SUVs and trucks that are 4-5 years old and rusted all to hell. That is what happens when your island has to rinse their steel with salt water because fresh water is too expensive! I don't notice the domestic made trucks in the Midwest rusted out and being only 5 years old. Some people don't believe in waxing or washing their vehicles either. Also sheet metal used in new vehicle production is a lighter gauge than what they used in earlier decades. Once the paint is chipped, it doesn't take long for the corrosion to eat through it. That is another problem with rust out.
That's funny, you can open the tap and get fresh water, but you'd have to transport seawater over in order to get your parts near that...
Really makes you think.
no need for quality the government will bail us out
Haha true!
The government will only ruin things
Nice job.
That damn road salt!
You probably needed a full side panel.
I would imagine that there is so much more rust under that truck, it is in its final days no matter how well you repair the body.
Oh yeah...
+M Bell door got a dinker
holy smokes !!!
My dodge neon is 16 years old and the only thing rotten is the tail pipe. to bad the engine is ... not the best design.
It was fun to watch you working it though .
Why didn't you just put a new bed on it
James Mcgirt money, he wadht paid to do it
Yep a 200 dollar bed is 10000 times better than a chicken wire bondo bullshit job
Have you priced a solid truck bed? Sometimes doing a basic repair like this is all you need on and old "worthless" vehicle. It's not a showcar.
@@tabbott429 Beds do not cost that much. You can get a bed from the salvage for 200.00
@@foxybrown2 not around here. If you get one that's solid its slot more than 200 and it's a pain in the ass to change it breaking bolts etc. If I'm gonna replace the bed its gonna be with one that's like new which cost 1000$
good vid,im about to do the same to the same kind of truck but gray,gonna check on the panels,saw that quad and looks exactly as my Honda Fourtrax 86
GM should really issue a recall, or maybe the FTC should get on them. No reason that trucks that are less than 15 years old should be rusted like this, I've seen 2008's with rusty fenders. It's like they used the cheapest Chinese steel to assemble these vehicles.
come to wisconsin or any northern state, you will see cars and trucks that are way worse then this.
It's not the manufacturer. It's the owners. You mud it, don't wash it, just abuse it in general. It'll rust.
that's how it is here in NY , some vehicles look like they came from a junkyard.
Buy ford
The 2008 I have has rust in these same spots, mustve been previous owners but that mud/salt gets wedged up in there and its almost impossible to get out
just made my day,funny guy but yet you taught me stuff,makes me think I can do that.thanks bud.
American quality product...
where do you live ?
kingfisher Singh Finland
+Teqo7 do they salt the roads there almost constantly during the winter ?
kingfisher Singh Yes. Every day for like 5 months.
+Teqo7 ok, just checking, because even though i hate amurican cars im sure almost any car would rust after living through that many years of salt and snow
I'm so glad they don't use salt on roads around here.
All Yeah!
was gonna say that, but you already did.
I always wondered what the repair would look like from an inch away.
You should have just put Roof Shingles over it all!
He is a jack leg for sure.. lol
"99 cents kiss my ,never mind" hahaha made my day lola
"This is a 10 year old truck, guys!". For me, I am just disappointed in GM. This kind of crap has been going on with fleetside beds for decades. You'd think after all this coating technology available that the company can stop this from happening on their trucks. And always the rockers under the extended cab. My god, at least try to use stainless sheet down there!
had to show my buddy this video today, such a classic
Hahahhaha
oh yeah
Watching Pisser and his "poker" hammer just never gets old thanks Pisser
Can you say Bio-Degradeable Truck?
I like that 80s Chevy you got
another how/to hack job. What's wrong with doing the job for this video right?
Not what he`s paid to do.
Doing it right = 2k and the difference is a year or two at most in salty NY.
It`s not that the body filler or metal is gonna cost more, but the time, other materials and welding wire and gas is a killer.
Customer knows what he gets, no secrets are kept, hence the video upload.
ToreDL87 It's not an ultra valuable vehicle. Do the appropriate job for the vehicle
you should get a helper to hold the camera, but i must say that you are doing a great job. you cut away the rust while holding the camera better than some people hold the camera only.
OH YEA...OH YEA
Smash :)
"Ohhh Yeayuh. Yap." This dude is freaking awesome!
part 1: beat the shit out of it :D
My 97 1500 has 18 years of Chicago winter on it. But the rust isn't as bad as this guy. I just need to get a shop that doesn't screw me like most shops.
i cant stop laughing lmao
yikkes!, love the bit where he removes the bondo, it looks straight out of a horror movie.
aw yeh
i had a 2000 chevy silverado and mine had no rust at all and i even rhyno lined the whole under carage it was so clean the cleanist truck in colorado
show me one squre inch without rust
Walter Dokopil the wind shield
First video ever watched for hack n pack shop. Favorite video on u tube!!!
He didn't need to say that he loves Chevy for me to know that. Some people you can just tell right off the bat what kind of people they are and what they drive based on their vocabulary and other tells. It was obvious after a few seconds of watching for me to know he likes Chevy; bottom feeders always do. Chevrolets are for the lowest common denominators of society.
Ditz
***** ...and you base this on what, your vast knowledge of my education and my personal life choices?
Also, I don't think you know what "LOWEST common denominator" means so I'll help....That's compared to EVERYONE.
