- Switched the frame up into the main garage and brought the cab down to the shop to get started on the body work. I had already made some early progress a few months ago so in this video I'm finishing up the passenger side floor and inner rocker panel.

Congratulations to your family on the new baby, hope everyone is doing well. I have a great respect for the job you’re doing on the truck, it looks awesome!!! Keep up the great work
Thanks Mike
Currently working on a 1972. This was a ton of help! Love the build!
I know I am late to the game since this is a older video but one trick i picked up on a different car metal channel is to flatten down a drill bit the same size as the spot weld holes. Use it to just to sand down the primer in the hole spots so the welder won't have the problems you were having
Congratulations on the new baby. Keep up the good work
Thank you Mark
I made the same mistake with that flange and bent it to the floor as well. It is supposed to weld to the back side of the outer rocker gasket flange.
Paul, just binged all your C10 vids, great great work! You’re an inspiration to me and I’m sure many others. Pls keep them coming and share your ongoing process. Congrats on all your success, your new baby, new move and I’m sure the new year will be a successful one to you and your family. I know making these vids take time and I thank you for sharing them. I’m dream of starting a C10 project one day and I hope to soon. Regards, John in CT
Thanks, John. There’s no time like the present!
Congratulations , doing a good job
Good job young man your videos are fantastic love your explanation of your work it is going to look awsome when your done.
Congrats on the little one bud ! Much love I’m enjoying this build bro !
Thank you Hermen
Good video, congrats on the bundle of joy. I currently have 2 of those bundles myself.
Great work ✌️ and congrats on baby!
Great footage and progress...
Cheers...
Great video i am planning to replace mine too
Congrats on the baby! What was the date? I am Dec 28th, my daughter is the 27th, lol One of these days I will get some more videos done on my C10. Until then I will keep watching your great videos.
Thanks! She was Dec 5, my oldest daughter is the 18th and I’m the 30th. Busy month for the both of us it sounds like!
This looks so easy but is extremely hard trying to do it the first time on your own i have a 2000 chevy s10 extreme the inner rocker panels are rusted out and i cant find inner rockes anywhere any ideas on where to find them or what to do congrats on the baby
Great job always look forward to your videos! Where did you get your new core support and how is the fit?
I put a link in the description. Initial fit is perfect, we’ll see how the fenders line up when I put them on but I’m confident.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Izaiah Avery instablaster :)
@Kase Keenan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Kase Keenan it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
Are you using silicone bronze wire? That aftermarket sheet metal sucks for carbon content. Silicone bronze melts at lower temp. Just don't butt weld it.
Ok where did you find the lower A pillar, the bottom sections and tye rear of the floor pans under the B pillar?
MJ here, 68 C10 I need to replace the kick panels, outer floor pan sections at kick panels (small area) and right lower A pillar and my question is the Cab is still on the frame with new cab bushings so does the Cab need bracing or will it be alright?
Should be fine without it
Congratulations on the new addition.
Random question. What are your garage door panels insulated with? I've been thinking about insulating ours with foam board but it's kinda thick. I would like something thinner but not heavy to weigh the doors to where I need to buy another motor.
It’s 1” thick foam board with radiant foil on both sides. It fits in the grooves really nice, just put some type of spacer between the door and the foam so there’s an air gap. Keeps the shop nice and cool in the summer without AC and keep the heat reflecting back into the shop in the winter.

@@paulkc10 Perfecto!
Hello I’m about to work on a protect like yours I have 79 c-10 stepside but is so hard to find the firewall panel, if you or someone know where to get it please help. 🙏 I really appreciate all the time you spend posting all your helpful videos.
You need the entire thing or patch panels?
paulk_c10 all the edges where the toe panel meets the firewall is the worst and all the way around
paulk_c10 the entire thing would be better
I don’t think they remanufacture entire replacements for that year range yet.
paulk_c10 thanks dude and keep up with the good work.
how did you know when to plug weld?
Where panels overlap
Congrats! Good content, very knowledgeable. What's your experience? This doesn't appear to be your first build :) I'm learning as I go, this is my first build. #cannybuildit
First one of anything close to this magnitude.
Measure twice, cut once. or as my old man said once im going for some cigarettes.
Words to live by haha
