I'm building a '57 3200 and I wish I had seen this first. Not because of his pain tips, but because I'd bet you using a C10 trans tunnel like the one here would've been far less expensive than replacing my firewall and trans tunnel. Live and learn. By the way, a lot of guys told me to double-up on the cab mounts. One guy even said to use hockey pucks. If I didn't have a shop doing the work for me, I would have.
Sir, I found your videos and I’d like to say.... you have basically given me a master class on how to weld! I feel like I can do my rockers and door skins myself! These videos are AWESOME!!!
Awesome job always a pleasure watching you inspires me to get back on my project that's been laying up for almost 10yrs , much love brother keep up the good work your a inspiration
Welded a big patch on the bottom of the door in my 76 C20. Then I find the corner I just welded is 3/8" out of alignment with the new rocker panel. Gotta take it apart and start over. Just when I thought my day was gonna be crap you put out another video... Thanks. By the way... If I did what I should have and made a template to show the contour of the door ( like you did) I would have got it right the first time. It pays to listen to Gibson.
Couple of observations, I just found you about a week ago so I went back and watched your post from 2012 all the way through. Your video production has improved and your presentation is spot on. Your craftsmanship is great. My father has been doing this kind of work for his entire life, he is now 74 and still builds Rat Rods and other hot rods for 8-10 hours a day by himself (I live in another state). I think the only reason why he is alive today is because of metal and welding. He also does his own engine builds, frame work and upholstery work. Your videos have inspired me to do my own work on my Trans Ams. I have two 79 Silver Anniversary and a 72 455 T/A that I have been building budgets for other folks to do the heavy work. I decided I will do it myself now thanks to you and my father. I will try to video some of the work and send it to you. I think you should submit your video to Velocity for a show, "Back Yard Body Man" "Small Shop Maniac" something like that. Anyway Great Job, and thanks for the education and inspiration.
It’s me again thanks for getting back to me just following along with ya your a big motivation for me on mine and wow you’re getting so much done at one time and you don’t need a camera person you got this down brother
Looking good. I use Ful-proxy and Select prime on my stuff and really like it. Many complain about the epoxy bring hard to sand, but I've had no problem all. Many of my paint jobs are: bare metal-Ful Poxy-maybe some filler-maybe Select Prime... Then Full Poxy to seal and color on top. No problems. Like your style.
Great work and such an inspiration brother!! I'm doing a 63 short bed fleetside and have the same problem areas you have. Keep up the great work and keep those videos coming!!!
@@bondovwvw any epoxy will work in my experience. People also recommend superglue and baking soda applied in layers and sealed with superglue over the top but I've seen the baking soda shrink just enough to make it settle and either loosen or dimple.
Don't need a garage really if your willing to work hard to rebuild your truck!! Alot can be accomplished right in your driveway!? Nice days of course!!
Frank van de luijtgaarden wow me Gibson has fans all over the world you should try to make it over here when mr Gibson has a car show and all his fans can all meet him seams we all have love for what he’s doin
I’m late to the party, but man that looks great! I’m ready to paint in ‘65 f100. This is just the motivation I needed! I’m a paint newbie, so my I ask you… how you determined the amount of primers & paint to mix for the interior? And how was it, painting the steering column in place? Thanks and love the channel!
I have noticed that there seems to be some variation in the tranny humps that Chevy used. One is big and square and one is actually more like a car. Have you ever seen that?
Do you paint the whole truck in epoxy first and then start your repairs? Or is everything sandblasted and primered! Thanks for any info and your a true craftsman.
Me Gibson I traveled to the super chevy show in Memphis and it was a mess I can understand why you wasn’t there it was 30 degrees sleeting and goin up and down the isles where the swap meet is was so muddy you bout bust your ass I talked to a guy bout a hood for my c10 and he wanted 500 firm and it was beat up and surface rust was really heavy he called it patenia well the prices was not really a deal you get those prices anywhere I really wanted to see yours and meet you I’m a fan maybe next time
Love your videos....I am a First Gen Camaro guy but looking to purchase a C10 project. I see you restore the 63 - 66s......Any reason you stick with those years vs the 67 - 72 model C10s ? Just curious. I like both body styles and there are plenty projects out there to pick from. Thanks.....Tom
Tom B I just wanted to say that I love how much more curvy these years are and like I told my wife it’s kinda like these years trucks are wearing a hat ( on top of the cab) but a mutha to sand and body work
What product did you use on the surface rust after wire wheeling it clean? You have mentioned Rust Mort before. I have used Ospho with great results. I just got mine stripped down for sandblast, hopefully priming the interior in the next week or two.
RIPbiker13 I used a rust encapsulator from Eastwood Then came back several days later with restoleum truck bed undercoating, the ospho works great no doubt, for my red pickup had it sandblasted,epoxied the came back with Rock-it-liner
Gibson63 I have Raptor bedliner I'm going to undercoat with. I also got Eastwood rust encapsulating paint for the insides of the a pillars. Sounds like I'm on the right path. Thank you for responding. Btw, I've been watching since about the time you started the red truck. Love your videos.
The Tito 66 clusters are different then the 60-63 but mine was also stuck I just hit around on the back a few times a also had to pry with a plastic tool from the front but finally came out
Gibson63 well the reason I’m asking is because I own a clean 1993 Ford full size Bronco and I removed the interior to expose and clean everything and to basically preserve the floors as they are solid. The floors do however have a few spots with surface rust on them. My question to you is, could I wire wheel the surface rust off and sand everything with 320 grit and apply 2-3 coats of epoxy primer to the whole floor?.... after priming it I’m gonna base coat clear coat it after letting it cure for about 10 days.
BroncoChris After wire wheeling the surface rust down I would treat it with some sort of vinegar water 50/50 mix or Rust mort to kill/stop the rust then epoxy

Been watching your build videos, learned a bunch on fitting patch panels from you. A thousand thanks brother.

This is real, everyone can relate, this is good old back yard building, well done and thank you.

Great job! I´m from Brasil and doing the same work on my Ford F100 1964 at home! Tanks for share

Son that's a lot of block work in those cabs. I sure miss my 66 step side chevy from high school.
Damon N.E. Texas yes it is a lot of block work the roof really took a while

Lot of work brother, looking good!
Man I really enjoy your videos . Teaching me a lot . Thank you
Steve Wathke thanks for watching
Good job man you sure are doing the old girl justice. 👍
Good job
Looks fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Looking good! On the steering wheel you can fill those cracks with epoxy and I haven't had one crack again yet.
What epoxy did you use? I use marine epoxy .
@@bondovwvw any epoxy will work in my experience. People also recommend superglue and baking soda applied in layers and sealed with superglue over the top but I've seen the baking soda shrink just enough to make it settle and either loosen or dimple.
You do good work man.... wish I had a garage to do that stuff in
Don't need a garage really if your willing to work hard to rebuild your truck!! Alot can be accomplished right in your driveway!? Nice days of course!!
Great work man, makes me want to learn bodywork.
That’s a hard job well done
This guy is good...wondering if painting the cab ceiling using the cup gun was ok
LIke your videos. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Frank van de luijtgaarden wow me Gibson has fans all over the world you should try to make it over here when mr Gibson has a car show and all his fans can all meet him seams we all have love for what he’s doin

Grandioso trabajo (job) excelente tu técnica. Maestro. God bless 👍🏆🏆👍🎖🎖🎖
Awesome
I have noticed that there seems to be some variation in the tranny humps that Chevy used. One is big and square and one is actually more like a car. Have you ever seen that?
Yes your correct they made two different ones
Good progress for sure.
Love where you are going with this one
Nice job man
thanks
Very nice!
It's looking good
Painting the inside cab of a 64. Is a pint of paint to do the entire inside enough to buy or do I need more? And did you apply one or two coats??
Looks great !
Do you paint the whole truck in epoxy first and then start your repairs? Or is everything sandblasted and primered! Thanks for any info and your a true craftsman.
Looking good, this truck will look awesome when’s it finished
Looks great
Good Work Steve Were your brother i thank he need help sand his Truck Ilike your Video & Approach on the Truck what to start with , it help .
Bruce Gunter This truck belongs to me now my brother found a 58 Apache

Shut Yer Face Garage Thanks
Try the Tamco primer. I think you will really like it. Also what transmission does this truck have?
bondovwvw In this video I had the original three speed but now I’ve went with the 350 turbo automatic
Hey Gib , curious what kind of paint guns you use , paint looks great , thx
This is just a cheap paint gun from Harbor freight can’t remember the name
Excelentes seus videos, parabéns pelo seus trabalho, é uma pena sua fala não ser traduzida para lingua portuguesa, seria ótimo.

The dash couldnt come out?
Just remember the interior is the same color as the firewall
very good 🖒

RIPbiker13 Thanks for watching man
thanks gibson
Maybe I'm missing something. Why did you scuff the single stage white?
William Lane It’s what I had laying around, did not want the shine wanted more of a flat/Matt look
Just started watching, I want to start a c10 restoration, any recommendations?
when you start unbolting shit bag and label EVERYTHING i made the mistake of not doing that and regret it
I have a 66 and I am trying to remove the instrument panel but it seems stuck in the dash. Any tips?
The Tito 66 clusters are different then the 60-63 but mine was also stuck I just hit around on the back a few times a also had to pry with a plastic tool from the front but finally came out
Could you spray the epoxy primer on the floor pans?....
i will use the rust encapsulator on most of the floor and will epoxy/prime and paint the sides under the seat

Gibson63 thanks for the help man... I got my mind set on PPG DP90LF epoxy primer.... expensive shit tho
Where are you buying your paint? I'm about to start a project.
