When you have something like this that have a lot of work to be done sometimes is easier to to get a donor you made the right decision by bringing it back to life specially because of the history behind the truck thanks for sharing it is awesome to see someone taking the time to rescue this oldies to many they are a thing of the past but to the few they are one of a kind because is nothing better then to go for a MIDNIGHT CRUISING

Nice job, I'm sure you are grateful to be able to do something like this with your father and him with his son. I built a '57 Chevy with my father and it's something I'll never forget. Great job on the build man.

thank you very much for your quick response and the info. I am doing cab corners lower tab hinge pockets and rockers just like you did. and just like you my doors are in pretty bad shape so I was contemplating whether to try to repair them or buy new ones. thanks for posting your video it has been an inspiration. you did an awesome job I just hope mine turns out as nice is yours. I definitely have a new respect for what it takes to bring one of these old trucks back to glory

Nice job. Even something that old looks high tech in bright white. I bought mine in 1970 and it was my first car. Still have it but it looks like your "before" pictures. I am working at mine and yours is inspiration. Mine still needs perspiration

@georgesspot 11 лет назад
Ya from what I hear from most guys is you either have a Nice Classic vehicle or a wife, rarely do you have both, because both take a TON of time and MONEY, I think I got mine done fast because I wasn't married lol, now its time for a wife were all the real WORK will begin lol

i would say your very lucky your trucks been sitting in a garage lol, rust repair is no fun at all, It sounds like you have a pretty straight body to start with, which will make things alot easier. Good Luck with your build, being that the truck has been in your family that long its will be worth it when its done

Candy apple red recromed everything rebult from the ground up. If the economy hadent of tanked i would of driven that to highschool
@georgeb.4579
@georgeb.4579 11 лет назад
Beautiful work. What type welder and settings did you use of the IFS? I'm still a little new to welding and am not sure I can pull off the weld size it takes for suspension parts.
@georgesspot
@georgesspot 11 лет назад
the welder I used was a Miller Dynasty 200 DX TIG/Stick Welder, I Stick Welded it using 1/8 welding rod to lay down a 1/4 weld bead in a single pass, that welder is pretty pricey, I borrowed it from work, as I was a welder at the time, but you just need a welder that can burn 1/8 welding rod, I would NOT have a weld bead less then 1/4 inch on your IFS. By settings I take it your talking about the amps that I used to burn the rod, well every machine is different by usually you want to burn 1/8 rod from 110 to 130 amps
@georgesspot
@georgesspot 11 лет назад
I used a product called Rust Bullet (Automotive Formula) its a rust inhibitor, it works really good. I sanded the frame down to pretty much all bare metal then used Rust bullet but it needs to be top coated at least the one I got because its not protected against UV light (SUN), I found out the hard way when a area exposed to the sun for a couple weeks started to peel and I had to redo that area, I would have like to power coated the frame but didn't because of the heavy cost of it.

@georgesspot
@georgesspot 9 лет назад
Sry for the late response but it all depends on how much work you do yourself, i would say around 14k to 18k if u do most of the work yourself, 19k to your first born... if you get everything done in the shop lol
@gmc-tk2uf
@gmc-tk2uf 8 лет назад
can you please tell me if you used Reproduction doors if so did they fit well what do you think about them any input appreciated thank you
@georgesspot
@georgesspot 8 лет назад
+1958 gmc 100 i did have to use reproduction doors, i would have rather stayed with the originals ones but they were way to rusted out, i tried to save them but it was a no go. they were not too bad of a fit, but believe me you will have to do some adjusting with a big hammer, and torch to bend them into the best fit, i let my body shop guy takle this, i would suggest the same unless to have those skills, i mean they come from china so enough said lol, i got mine at "THE TRUCK SHOP" in Anaheim CA, they have a online catalog where you can find everything after market for these trucks i mean EVERYTHING, hope the info helps

Hey Goarge what kind of suspension did you put in the front and rear end? Was it a kit? Great video I always come back to this for inspiration for my 55 project!
@georgesspot
@georgesspot 8 лет назад
i installed a HEIDTS (Superride II) for Pickups its a really nice kit comes with disc brakes and power steering, the rear was from a shop they said it was a posi traction rear end from a 79 firebird, im glad the video gives u inspiration i could have really used one when i was building mine because man there was days i felt "thats it im done" lol
@shawnbeck11
@shawnbeck11 8 лет назад
