Thanks, I know it is twice the work doing these videos butt hey are greatly appreciated.... I really hope to run across you at a car show one day and thank you in person for giving me the confidence to take a project like this on!...
I just wanted to say thank you for all the great videos on metal work I been a mechanic 18 yrs but never really new much about body work your videos have help me tackle the rust in my 50 Buick thank you it's not as bad as some of your stuff but I discovered that factory undercoat was hiding a fair bit of rust
Great work like always Gibson! I’ve learned so much from your videos it’s helped me huge repairing the rust on my 65 c10 and my wife’s 61 Apache ! Cheers and god bless
Turned out great. I always had trouble using my 4 inch grinder, I never could get exact cuts with it. You make it look easy and I always enjoy watching you work. Keep up the great work.
Lots of work but you're a younger guy. I got luck on a 67 C10 truck that just came into my driveway one day with a family member dream of a truck, trailer and lawn service. As I did what cab rust it did have, electrical, V-belt to serpentine and replace glass seals, he quit. It's mine! What? Either way, This you going 100 MPH, taking one bite at a time and making it work. Aftermarket panel have two prices; what you pay to get them & the work it takes to make them fit & look like OEM. If they were exact, I guess a bunch of lawyers would show up somewhere screaming "Intellectual Property". Best at you bud. I remember day after day, 6AM to 9PM, then go home. DK, ASE Master since 78 retired. Not a body & paint guy but like most stuff, we do what we do!
Keep your eyes open for a used Whitney #5 Jr hand punch. I found one cheap at a yard sale missing a couple punches. They are still available so now I have the full set pretty cheap.
I have a harbor freight flange tool that punches holes too. It's good if you want a flange instead of a butt weld. Eastwood sells a tool that makes a chamfer on the edges of metal that is being butt welded and also punches holes. The idea with the eastwood tool is you are filling in a little valley with weld, so it's stronger than a butt weld, and there is no place on the backside that is unsealed. It looks like it could be difficult to make everything fit right to me, but I might get one anyway. About $50 for it.
The hole punch works good on the HF tool, can't say much about the durability, but no problems so far. It's on sale for like $38 now. It's way easier and faster than a drill to get the job done.
Bro!! Freakin sweet! I'm gonna be starting on my C-10 project this week which I'm gonna start hacking into like a beast! Thanks for these super awesome videos!!!
I’m currently working on my 65 Chevy c10 and wanting to keep the natural patina and was wondering how exactly did you bring back that patina under then windshield? Thanks
so when welding the pieces - do you spot weld the whole thing ? just keep doing spot welds until its filled in? how do you treat the backside to stop any rust from the welds? Thanks
Yes I keep running spot welds until I’m finished, take my time to keep from warping the panel. I do clean the spot welds on the backside and run some short strand fiber glass over the welds
@@Gibson63. Thanks Bro ! I appreciate what you do.. I have a chevy 4x4 I sold and then go it back - it needs a lot of work.. If you find anyone needing a GMC stepside tailgate for a 70's i have a Brand new OEM in the box. $200 + Shipping
I couldn't quite tell for sure; but did you wrap the patch panel all the way around the front where it bends at a 90 and spot weld it in on the front, or did you make a vertical weld and not cut the inside of the door jamb?
Hi boss. The truth is art its work. I'm restoring a chevrolet c10 year 65 and part of the roof is chopped and my chapist wants to put metal putty. But I want to know there in Usa where I get the part of the roof
alexander colombini Classic part sales a few parts for the roof ,you might go to the junkyard and find a part to cut out that's what I did you'll see on my next video
My dad and I did a 51 Chevy 10 years ago for my first car. still have it and it's due for another. I am thinking of going the easy (and expensive way) of buying all new fenders online. you think I'm losing the spirit of the truck by doing that?
rlsukovaty go for the new fenders if the truck needs them but if you can repair them for cheaper I'd go that way to keep it original but that's up to you I don't think it would bring the truck down though
I feel these videos that Gibson 63 makes are very good and informative, I think he is doing fantastic job
nice to see someone taking pride and being very thorough.
NICE WORK MY MAN!

That all came together nicely! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice, that paint buffed out nicely.
You make that look easy. I have a 74 C-10 and look forward to your videos. Thanks.

Thanks man

Mark Holbrook I've seen this tool before don't really like the flange tool unless I have to use it, the hole punch would be cool
The hole punch works good on the HF tool, can't say much about the durability, but no problems so far. It's on sale for like $38 now. It's way easier and faster than a drill to get the job done.
nice job again looking forward in you doing the front of the cab, my is rusting there.
that's going to be as sweet as the other 63. nice
Bro!! Freakin sweet! I'm gonna be starting on my C-10 project this week which I'm gonna start hacking into like a beast! Thanks for these super awesome videos!!!
I've got a '76 C10 squarebody I'm performing the same surgery on. GM sure screwed the pooch on drainage holes on their trucks.
Nice work bud👍
I’m currently working on my 65 Chevy c10 and wanting to keep the natural patina and was wondering how exactly did you bring back that patina under then windshield? Thanks
What was the manufacture of that cab corner? I'm doing a 63 also and have not had luck with getting Tri-Plus cab corners to fit good. Great video
I ordered all my patch panels through (Classis parts) I still had to tweak some but that’s just the way it goes with these aftermarket parts
@@Gibson63. Thanks buddy, keep up the great work!!!!
watchin' you n drinkin' Mello Yello, life don't get much better!
Great work and fun to watch. Keep on teaching!
you do some awesome work. If I can get my 80 c-10 to look half as good😁
Do you use .023 wire.. all your pamels look great
What is your welder? What settings is on your welder I almost always blow through the thin stuff. Thanks for the video
Chris Z Lincoln 135 mig low heat take it slow
Gibson63 thank you sir
what's the die grinder that you're using? thanks looking great
so when welding the pieces - do you spot weld the whole thing ? just keep doing spot welds until its filled in? how do you treat the backside to stop any rust from the welds? Thanks
Yes I keep running spot welds until I’m finished, take my time to keep from warping the panel. I do clean the spot welds on the backside and run some short strand fiber glass over the welds

RIPbiker13 Yes I spot welded on the front where it wraps around just like it was originally
Gibson63 I thought you had. I'm about to do both of my corners and thought that would be the best way to do it. Again, thank you sir.
It's gonna make a sweet truck.
MrHevyshevy thanks man hope it's as cool as yours
Hi boss. The truth is art its work. I'm restoring a chevrolet c10 year 65 and part of the roof is chopped and my chapist wants to put metal putty. But I want to know there in Usa where I get the part of the roof

What are your plans with the frame? wire brush and por15?
Ozzstar wire brush and por15 that's what I was thinking
What die grinder pads are you using?
I love your videos👍
Very nice patch work, are you going to paint the whole truck also ?
No not going to paint this truck any time soon just scuff it down a little, body work and prime the replacement panels, and fade some kind of blue in
Thanks Mister Gibson

how do you prevent rust from the inside out
James Flores try to protect it the best you can epoxy primer or etch primer, or rust encapsulater
You are the Man! Nice work.
Good stuff Gibson!
Nice job ... Build On

no doubt your a master at building trucks, but you could have found a cab in better shape to save money and most importanly time.
Juan Romero I got the truck for little of nothing and got plenty of time right now thanks
