    You and your son did a great job on this truck. I want to restore a truck or muscle car with my son when he's almost old enough to drive. I figure it will teach him how to work on things himself, it will make great memories for the both of us, and he will respect it more than if I just buy him a car and give it to him. I wish my dad would have done something like this for me but luckily when I was in high school I took auto shop and all my friends were gear heads so I learned that way. Maybe I'll give him my 91 GMC 1500 if I still have it by then. Or I can let him pick a vehicle that he likes and we can fix it up together.

Just need to clear A LOT of crap out of my garage before I take the step this man did with his son. Other than that I sand blasted the frame on the back half and cleaned it up with a layer of rhino liner.

    The paint on my late wife's '90 Olds Calais did the same thing. I had taken it down to the car wash to clean it with the intentions of detailing it and surprising her. The paint looked perfectly normal until the water hit it and it all started peeling off in big pieces! Needless to say, she was NOT a happy lady. Luckily, there was a recall on the paint for those years and the dealer repainted it for free. It never did really look right after that, though. The paint they had to use just would not shine like the old paint did. I sold the car a year or so after she suddenly died of cancer (three weeks from diagnosis to passing) and I still felt terrible that it happened She loved that little car. GM may have had the right intentions but they certainly did NOT know what they were doing when they came up with that idea.

    I've noticed that the white trucks made from 88-94 really have issues with peeling down the sides like yours did. Anyway, it looks amazing! You might try pressure washing the carpet out of the truck too. It makes a HUGE difference. I've done it in just about every vehicle of mine, and I'm always satisfied with the results. Even if it looks clean, tons of crap will come out when you pressure wash it.

    • @HilltownCT
      @HilltownCT 7 лет назад +9

      Back in the day, Chevrolet would pay for a new paint job if your vehicle was peeling and less than 5 years old. I had my blue '92 Beretta done free of charge.

    • @helivesonforever
      @helivesonforever 7 лет назад +1

      Was it a paint issue that just made the paint not adhere? Maybe cheap primer? I've even seen the mid 2000's Impalas have the same issue on their roofs. Most of them have been white as well. Good luck getting the dealers to do anything today though. They write their warranties up so that most issues aren't covered nowadays.

    Awesome job. I wanted to restore a couple trucks I had but I don’t have a shop. I had a 1990 f-150 302v8 4x4 reg cab long bed from Virginia. It had 176,000 miles. Everything was in very good condition for its age. The interior was perfect. It sat for 16 years. It had a couple spots of rust around the bed fenders but that was it. The engine needed head gaskets done and it had the common frame crack under the engine. I also had a 1985 C-20 reg cab long bed with the 305v8. It had rust on the back of the bed fenders and the floors and rockers were gone. The frame was spotless. The truck lasted so long because it had a undercoating done by Rusty Jones, but it still ran and drove. It had 230,000 miles.

      The truck is just so simple to fix and restore. With proper care this truck will last indefinitely. I plan on keeping my old Dodge for a long time.

      Mark M Yeah we can always dream of keeping our vehicles running for the rest of our lives... Just unfortunate, one of these days we'll be forced to go self driving :/

    Good to see someone appreciate these trucks and keep them in shape. They're so much easier to take care of than the new stuff these days.

    • @championlot6
      @championlot6  7 лет назад

      The truck has been in the family and driven by three generations. Grandfather, father and son.

    • @Dr_Xyzt
      @Dr_Xyzt 7 лет назад

      I know how you feel. The red truck on my channel has been driven by four generations. Un-restored.

    JOB WELL DONE !!!!!!!! I have a 1988 K2500 that I have done the same thing with. Sanding gets old but is worth every compliment you receive in return. Most people don't have the patience nor cash. This will make a great get around truck rather then spending $35,000 that almost anyone can do.

    • @championlot6

    • @championlot6
      @championlot6  8 лет назад +101

      Thank you. The truck has always been in the family and mechanically it was in good shape. When my son needed a vehicle, it was either buy something used with no guarantees or restore the family truck. I used the project to teach my son some mechanical skills.

    • @cpufreak101
      @cpufreak101 7 лет назад +11

      Quick question, did you guys also get the engine rebuilt? cause if you did, the truck then could have been very near to showroom condition practically

    on the passenger side rear wheel well at the rear lower corner how come you didn't straighten it out? same with the lower rear part of the drivers side of the bed?

    • @championlot6

      As we worked on it, we actually made it worse. Needed to replace the entire side panel to fix it properly but decided to just leave it for now.
