So appreciative of the videos you're making, Paul. Unbelievably helpful, as I'm going through the same process with my '70 C10. The cab lift and cart are game changers for a solo project!
You mentioned take the cab outside perhaps to pressure wash at some point. My question is the height of the cart you modified with wheels (Plus pad) but do you remember the height of the cab on it back? It is too bad a fist glance, the cart won’t let the engine hoist go completely under it. Sand bags on hoist and extend the arm with the sling attached could made it easier. Either way, something’s just plain suck doing a job by your self. My 67 is a keeper and my last vehicle. Not show quality but doing this type of cleaning, perhap epoxy sealer, seam sealer with adaptor liner will still add another 40 - 50 years to life. I have watch most but 106 degrees F outside today includes “Feels like” temp (Hotter than hell + 3), so catching up on my fav’s. MRI, Dr. scheduled L2-L1 epidural (Which made low back quit burning after bending 10 mins) but worked twice before. Seems strange to be able to stand straight up at 6’3” and not hurt doing it. Tall can be good, but not now. If you remember the firewall to back close I ok. Won’t hold ya to it! Gotta go back to watch motor mount build. ASE Master - Retired
These are great videos. Shows one guy's will and determination to get things done by himself. I just bought the 2 ton lift at Harbor Freight and I am in the middle of building the cab hoist attachment you showed. I just wish I could get away with wire wheeling the bottom of my cab in the garage without my wife killing me in my sleep. : ) Great work!
Short of having a full rotisserie, this is great idea. Thank you Paul as my wheels are turning in my brain. I am a thinking using the pinch weld flanges with the windows out, attaching to them with a tie to front upper, create a lift with hinges to lift onto a foam padded back, then lower back. I thank you so much as i cannot afford to buy or purchase a new rotisserie when I can build it it out of wood and very stout. This allows not only finishing the bottom but also preparing the inside for painting. I find reactions very when you tell friends and other people when you tell them you painted and clear coated the entire inside of the cab? Thanks again for you effort and work you put into this. There were times where you look like you were going 60 MPH! Ed402 of the North!
David Taylor thanks! I actually found it a few hours later when I went scrolling through all his videos. I will be building one of those attachments. Again thanks for the heads up!
Did you have any body work required on the back of the cab as a result of tipping it? I see you cushioned it at the hinge point, but that is my biggest concern…making a crease or similar.
Hi Paul, My 72 has a really good paint job but I want to do the underneath like this, can you tell me if there was any damage to the back of the cab from laying it down like this? and dents? Keep up the great work
I have the want and drive and some of the skill to do this to my truck (1969 c10 stepside).the cost of all the tools is as much as the parts is my issue.
4:42 Bro.... That Ghost is always messing with stuff.... just like in that one video that I pointed out.... I hope you pray before you start working!!!!

Absolute necessities. Glad they’re helping
I used Raptor Liner on my 67. That stuff looks good and is easy. I started my truck before you looks like your about to pass me up. enjoying the build
currently where I am at in my project. Great work man

Awsome idea for lifting the cab 👍👍👍

Do it and clean it up before she gets home

Amazing job giving me a lot of ideas for my truck
That was pretty ingenious...
Interested to see what you think of the Raptor liner. I'm planning the same for the underside of my truck and wondered if the 4L kit would be enough.
Yea me too. I’ve never used it before.
Excellent work, Paul! You should use hearing protection when using the angle grinder.
I am 🤔
@@paulkc10 Oh, I see. You have the plugs. Video was moving fast so I didn't see. Looking forward to your next upload!
Great work I'm restoring my 67 c10 on my channel I really like your jig to lift the cab
awesome! wish i couldve tipped mine like that 😂
Great series on your truck. Did you do a video on the cab lift attachment? I need to build one.
Here it is. Works great too! ruclips.net/video/_-4qFgG9Mu0/видео.html

Have you ever tried to paint the bottom of the cab on the truck. Tried to use a brush and roller, not very good results
Very cool 😎
Hi Paul, My 72 has a really good paint job but I want to do the underneath like this, can you tell me if there was any damage to the back of the cab from laying it down like this? and dents? Keep up the great work
I did it practically by myself so there’s a couple little spots but if you have a couple extra set of hands you can easily do it with no damage at all
I'm gonna start this soon. Definitely feels sketch doing tilting those old cabs for sure. Keep up the good work
what did you use on the grinder to clean the bottom? I cant see really well the type of disc
Wire wheel
Can you paint the Raptor liner...
I think so but you can also get it in different colors. So id look more into that before I said for sure.
Wish I could find help like that! My help lives next door drinks all my beer and weighs 500lbs. hahaha
Get married? Lol don’t do that. The help isn’t that frequent 😂
why did you delete the heater core?
Bc I’m not going to drive this in the winter

Ok... 3 things... 1)awesome videos!
2) you have a shitload of hats!
3) you have to be from Michigan... yeah?
1) thanks man
2) I only wear a few out in the shop so there’s many more
3) yes I am
This is funny I’m doing the same thing. Bets buy a new 70 thousand dollar truck
A cup wire wheel would have worked better
