I have an 06 Silverado with pretty much the same rusted frame damage. Here in Indianapolis I get automatically turned away when I I tell them about the damage. Apparently here in Indy, It's a lost skill that no one but the dealers know how to fix. No shops will even look at it.
What a difference that made! My OCD would have forced me to grind the welds smooth before painting it lol. Now I'm very nervous to crawl under my 04 2500HD Silverado. I honestly would have considered trashing the truck or finding another frame or whatever. Never seen a frame rescue like that before - bravo.
I just sent this to my son...he's got a new welder and I just greenly bought an 07 f150 and I didn't realize the extent of chassis rot. Hey, I had a dress on the day I bought it...😁 thanks for the video. I hope it inspires him to want to help his momma.
@@pistonring8 Please next time, skip the noise and talk about the extent of the damage and the repair technique decisions. I might have appreciated the music if I was in a bar after 3-4 double whiskeys and not trying to repair a truck frame.
@@48Ballen Thanks for the feedback... Hahaha, we'll definitely consider this if we ever decide to make a "how to" video for hobbyists. Unfortunately, our Only Fans doesn't allow us to show off our work as well 🤣😂
Yeah, unfortunately it's pretty common for recon shops, auctions, lots and private sellers to hide frame damage by filling them with spray foam, body filler and fiberglass. Rubber undercoat spray seems to hide a lot of damage as well, and it's causing SO many unsafe vehicle conditions... Especially in our great national Salt Belt.
@@pistonring8 I am in upstate ny, just checked out a truck with a frame that looked "too good." The SOB bondoed it. Magnets don't lie. NY inspections only look at suspension attachment points, it is technically legal.
@@stevecurran6077 this F150 frame had a two and a quarter inch wide inside measurement. So yes, we squeezed it together a quarter inch with clamps. Then added an eighth inch steel plate on either side.
@@pistonring8 Thank you very much for your video and all the generous answers to my questions. Today I had started cutting and forming the pieces of 1/8” plate to box in the rotted out section of my 04 F150 (as seen in other videos on YT). But when I stumbled upon this musically enhanced version using 2x2 tubing… it just made so much more sense to remove the bottom rot and box over… not to mention strength! Thanks again!
They make prefab frame sections for these now that are cheaper than custom fitting lengths of steel. Probably around $600 per side in bed liner or #por15
This type of frame repair could easily be close to a thousand dollars. Check out our other video repairing an F150 frame with prefab frame sections to do the job much faster, easier and cheaper.
@@coupalr1 We can fit 6 full sized truck frames on our trailer. Like I said, we'll take a dozen. Cash in hand, because that's how many orders are sitting in the lot right now.
The songs u discover while just trying to fix ur truck had me crying laughing bro...bravo💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

This video gives me hope. My 06 F150 is not this bad but starting to rot from the bottom here and there. Thought i would have to scrap it
It took me like 30 seconds to recognize the song. Great job on the frame and the f’n song.

That music is rough..good job on the frame repair.
Lol... Everybody seems to hate it. I'll try to do better next time. Thanks!!
I like the song
How much does a job like this run? I have an 08 Sport Trac that needs some work on the rear where the lower toe link bracket is.
@nickydexgg4579 around $500 in materials. Dorman makes slip on frame repair panels for these now... Much easier!!
@@pistonring8 thanks for the info!
Wish someone would come fix my trucks frame😥
Ugh.... Mine too.
@@pistonring8 My pickup only has 68k on a 5.4....pay so much for them....and the frame rusts out.
What the hell is this music? The frame looks good though.
Hahaha! It's a late 90's rap song redone in folk acoustic style... Sorry bout that 😂😂
what is with the music playing??? could hardly watch the video for the noise.....GEEEEEEEZ
Mute it.... Haha!!

Very impressive. 👍
Awww... Thanks!!
Why no holes in the bottom for water and shit to drain and fall out now ya got a good holding tank for stuff on each side
Drain holes are always at the bottom of the lowest part of the frame.
How do you guy remove under coating? I hate that crap and it helps rot everything!
24 grit 3" Roloc 3M 90° die grinder
@@pistonring8 that would work great thank you! Dont know why I didnt think of that , I have tried a bunch of other things lol
Im thinking of tackling this. What thickness steel did you use? This looks promising. Finding a frame is impossible....or too expensive. Thanks
1/8" and 3/16" just like on the title page and the subtitles throughout the video. Doorman makes very easy slip over repair panels for this now.
Buddy just got truck used had three months frame broke I'm lost dam shame got ripped off told him its junk .but I see you weld frames

@@alb12345672 is that right? I thought if there were any wholes bigger than a quarter it shouldn’t pass
Hi @Skunkworx Fabrication , Is that 3 x 3 square tubing you used?
Two by two inch square tube with a three sixteenth inch wall.
@@pistonring8 Thanks man. Does it fit snug or do you have to squeeze the sides?

Hey. How much would it cost to have you do this for my truck?

how much for you reparin frame
Depends on how bad it is.. One like this could easily be a couple thousand.
What was the price for that type of frame work?

That fuck'n music is not NECESSARY
Neither is pimpin... But here ya are!! 😎
good job but was it worth all the work? why not just buy another truck?
I know, right?! As cheap as trucks are these days... Why not just buy 2. And have a spare!
@@pistonring8 yeah I got a flat tire last week, decided to just buy a brand new 2021 dodge ram. Saved me a bunch of money 💸
Nice work, but the music is obscene!
The music suxs.
Awww.... Sorry 😕
Easier to swap a $1000 frame with no rust.
We'll take a dozen please... Cash in hand.
@@pistonring8 wreckers up here have tons of them. Shit I have three laying in the trees
@@coupalr1 Sounds like you're sitting on a gold mine!! We would like to order a dozen please.
You pay the shipping and you can have them. I see at least two a week in perfect condition go to get melted down.
