So sad their are not more young people like you . You are to be commended for your imagination on making the patches . your skills will only improve . Thank you for sharing and good luck.
Bought an 86 live in buffalo and basically same thing I'm in. Need info on parts. Pans corners rockers ECT. Would really appreciate any info on places to start. Absolutely love yours.
great work! curious on the welder details- do you use 0.030 wire, or 0.025 wire? and where do you like to ground your welder to? seems like it's a quality welder and I unfortunatelyhave a cheap Harbor Freight MIG
Good thing Ohio doesn't care what you put on the road. If it starts and runs, you can drive it in Ohio without fear of being stopped. You may fall through the floor, but hey that's what plywood is for, covering those holes.
patches look nice. this job will get faster as you go... good job thanks for sharing you might consider using Raptor bed liner inside and underneath ... I'm going to On mine
I love using raptor liner, I was going to use that but with carpet going over top of it I wasn't too worried about the top being really tough, I plan on doing that to the underside
Man I know absolutely nothing about welding except in vocational school we took the little piece of copper and welded it to the steel what is this style Meg weld and can you use a little handheld portable welder ? If not bondo and sheet metal screws it is for me then lol u make this look easy
I'm using a Lincoln Mig welder here, mig welding is probably the easiest style of welding to learn and is super useful for all types of different work. I would definately take the chance to learn a little about it if possible!
well thats what the gmc jimmy and chevy blazer in the square body 73-87 have in common with the broncos lol the rust and rot in the lower A Pillars, B Pillar and back hump behind the seats due to the rear fiber glass removable tops lol
A friend called me to help him with some patch panels on his 84 f150 that began with a 75 percent rocker and floor delete cab corners and inner fenders fortunately I knew where there was another one with an extended cab which worked out well it had new inner fenders and the box was already a short bed on the long frame 6 bolts front n rear and zero welding swopped the cab out and save him better than 6 grand in the long haul.but seriously the cab only had about 26 to 30 inches of metal over the frame rails.
Thanks for sharing. I just picked up a 95 bronco with some of that side rust. it's nice to see how you fixed it. Is the rust in Ohio due to using salt on the roads? We have rust issues in Juneau AK due to the ocean.
