Repairing rusted cab corners on Ford F150 for $0 ✅ 

It amazes me, everyone wants to be a critic. They can do it this way, or I would have done it that way. You came here to watch the video. I know, here's a clue. What's the title of today's video ? Chad already stated, it was a favor to a friend. He's spending no money, just time. And using scraps of metal in the shop. Doesn't need to be perfect, just repaired. I got all that, just from listening to what he said.

Thanks for the video. I am a newbie with zero welding skills. I can't afford going to a body repair shop so I am learning on my own. My truck needs this done and I am confident now that I will be able to get it done. Awesome camera work also! I know it's a quick patch job for passing inspection but you really helped me build my confidence to do it myself. Thanks for your knowledge sharing and I did learn!!! God bless you both.

It is really amazing how you do jobs like this on the fly. By doing jobs like this it is really helpful to your viewers to see how they can do it. Thank you Chad, Jolene, and Fina. Bill

Not everyone can afford to buy the parts besides there's the pride in doing it and he just showed you how. Great shots Jolene.

Some have talk about easier to buy new An repair it that way but no one noticed What chadd is doing He is teaching others how to fix it yourself it may have been cheaper to buy the part but did you learn how to fix it ? That's what he is about passing his knowledge along to others Iam a 70 year old man I just wish my dad Or someone had taken time to teach me The basics of he is doing back when I was much younger man so watch listen An learn

Yesterday I would have got back with you but I don't know how. You dont have to give me anything I just like watching you do what you do best. I'am 70 years old and live in the USA in Ohio down on the Ohio River so thanks you for what you do God Bless

Friends help friends...It's great when people help one another, even when it isn't expected. Thanks for sharing Chad and Jolene!

Camera work is so natural that it's easy to take it for granted. Great job both of you.

Thanks for bringing back real builds to RU-vid. Your channel has been helping my Van-Haulen build get tons of views more then I expected. Thank You!

Great video content fixing a common problem. Thanks Chad and Jolene!

Great video. These small repairs are the kind of jobs we all need to know how to. Thanks Chad and Jolene.

Great repair job you make it look easy thanks for sharing chad and jolene

You make this repair look easy Chad and Jolene as always your camera work and videos are fantastic!!!! enjoy watching

This is the VERY REASON that I like to watch Chad ! Showing someone how to fix something without BREAKING THE BANK $$$. This is how someone can learn, apply and enjoy fixing their own projects without feeling like they have to have a very elaborate shop with super expensive tools (that most people will never afford to have). Great job! Great content ! Keep it up Chad. This is what I call “Makin Due- with that you’ve Got”. Take chicken 💩 and make chicken salad. 👍🏽😎

Hello Chad & Jolene. I am learning from you both everyday. Thank you both so very much.

critics are like a mob of crows sitting on a power line watching and squawking insults. keep up the good work.

Good work Chad and Jolene. You make it look easy.

Hi bud, just watching your vid patching can corners. Wow man I'm 75 yrs old now, I loved in swanton, Vt in the early 70s thru the ninties,it's the last stop before you cross into canada. It would snow ads deep to a giraffe every winter, and I worked in Essex Junction By 41 miles south. I had to have a pickup truck cause I loved deep in the country outside Swanton. I loved living there, the schools were excellent too. I always bought Ford - F 250 4 by . I needed a Fisher power angle plow, just to get to the interstate. So that's why I bought Ford's as I kept my plow and it would fit in a new pickup easily. They used so much salt on all the roads up there, if have to do what you're doing quite often, can corners, door bottoms, wheel lips, can floors. I made all my own stuff cause I had a family to take care of. I did all my repairs with basic tools welder not wrench hammers visegrips. I'd do all my body work between April and september, then I'd primer several coates, then undercoat when done. I couldn't see buying a new truck every three years, so I extended the life of my truck by years.I would paint it when it was done, and it looked fine and lasted long time. I'm Vt, every vehicle rusted caddies, lincolns, mercedes, and the map cars and small trucks would rust down so bad I called them Flintstone mobiles. Have a great evening, keep up the vids, I enjoy them!!!!

Great job guys. 😎👍 It is always interesting to see these types of repairs

My F350 needs both done and you made it look pretty easy. Thanks for sharing...

Chad you have really inspired us to get out and do what we dream. It is so wonderful to see you and Jolene working together. I thank God for you and what you do. Thanks for taking time to show us how it's done. It's been a blessing.

I watched your video because I have the cursed rusty corners on my 150. I know very little about body repairs. I do know a little about blacksmithing and its traditions. I don’t know if what you did is right or not but I see in your skill set some of those traditional intuitive skills of working with metal that you can’t learn except by rolling up your sleeves. I really enjoyed watching you work to complete the corners. Shame ford created this mess in the first place. Good luck and keep up the good work.

Not to bad for an hour. I like how every time he hit the new metal more rust fell out. The old cab corner was on the floor at the end. I own a 2014 f150 after seeing this I'm thinking of buying inner and out rockers , and corners for both sides now before I actually need them. I'm not as good as he is to make my own panels. It will be easier for me in the long run. I wish I had my own "Chad" I could take my truck. Good job Chad and Jolene.

Good job Chad 👍 it’s a metal patch work quilt. I love working with it. You can weld and hammer and grind it into any shape you need. Great job as always Queen Jolene. And I love how Fina always makes her appearance ❤

Nice work! I never thought of hammering the curves in situ. I hope you and Joleen have a very happy and prosperous year ahead :)

Great job again, showing us how fast you can do a rust repair on any car,thanks for sharing

Great video what a simple way to do cab corners thank you chad and Jolene

Thanks so much for doing this. A skill so many can use.

Excellent job Chad and Jolene that will be a strong cab corner! Enjoyed watching and listening!

Looked all over RU-vid. Should've known you'd be the man with the plan. Thanks

Ahh good old rusty Ford rockers gotta love them 😁🤙

Thank you for doing this I have the same truck and didn't want to buy the corners and rokers and have been ignoring it you have motivated me to do it thank you

Love doing that style of repair great job guys

Nice work Chad and great video thanks Jolene. Looking forward to see how it turns out.

it always amazes me what bad Chad gets done in one hour😮😮. The man is a beast and that’s all that’s to it. It would take a lot of people an hour just to make a game plan🤔🤔😉. In my shop we would have to look at it the night before and talk it over with a six pack of beer🍺🍺🤭….. or more😝😝 !!!

Thanks Chad and Jolene! Outstanding for sure!

I enjoyed this video very much. Definitely makes me happy!

With little round corners like that I usually bend a piece if thin wall pipe the same size as the curve and weld it in. I learned that trick from George Barris, rather than trying to make a complicated curve it's easier to weld 2 flat pieces to the bent pipe.

I learn a lot from both of you, as a passionate shade tree. Thanks

Always enjoy your shows and the work you do.Keeop up the good work..

Great camera work Jolene, Chad you are showing the ongoing task of keeping so many East Coast vehicles on the road and passing inspection. So many cars and trucks and not enough guys like Chad.

More content like this. I know its not what you do usually. But this was great. Very informative for DIY.

Excellent video Andy, we appreciate your work on your channel Thanks Andy.

More show and tips from chad 👍 thanks Jolene for filming as usual . Hi Fina

I’m liking the content Chad please keep up the good work.

Nice job that is something that seems to be a problem with a lot of newer vehicles and old vehicles thanks for the video

Looks good chad n that’s how you keep cost down you use what you got n make it work great job great filming Jolene

Great cab corner job nicely done with patients. Waiting to see the rockers next. I'm working on my 2001 dodge ram 4x4 did bed off frame, messy rusty mess all cleaned and blasted and painted, Now my bed next mess I took it cut out the rust (outside my garage so sparks flew outside) Now bed back in garage for rebuild 6.5 type bed. But be nice clean when I'm done like your doing.

loved the help others attitude, power to you guys

This is amazing. Learning welding and this video helped a lot 👌🏽

Keep up the hard work you two

Great job! Thanks for sharing...

Good evening jolene and chad hope your having a wonderful day and doing well also thank you for sharing your information and knowledge and I think you should do more videos like this as well for people that want to get by

Another great video thanks guys

Great lesson Chad. Would you mind giving us newbies a bit info about feed rates and other settings when you are doing panels?

This was like watching an artist work! Not just a guy repairing a rust spot on a farm truck.

Great tutorial Chad Great camera work Jolene

Bad Chad makes it look so damn easy and it’s not as easy as it looks !! I love seeing this kind of stuff now and then !!

Thanks Chad.. These video's are great for a beginner like myself. Soon about to start some bodywork on my Syncro - T3..

Fun watching , keep going strong ! Good health to you both !!

Like watching this going to do this to mine next spring thanks for the education

Excellent teaching

Man I would have enjoyed seeing you put some rust treatment inside that repair area!

Great video! Keep up the good work!

Wow you did great on the fly like that! Amazing !!

Love these guys ❤

Nice job thank you for sharing

Your awesome......please keep up the good work!!!

I love this my friend, you do it same way I do. But you are better and faster then me. Your awsome man. The Cancars got me now doing it any more. I have done friends truck and it took me a week.

Once again Great job Chad!

Great job Chad and Jolene

I don’t care if what chad an Jolene do is right or wrong,,I really enjoy watching them in all they do,,keep on doing what you guys do,,I love you guys an fina too. 👍👍😀

Great video Jolene, and the cab is going to look great again Chad. Hello Fina, good dog!

great video. new brunswicker here. love the NS content

Good job Chad and Jolene!

This is a tough fix for most people to do but you did it right. I really don't understand why modern trucks are still built to where water and mud can get trapped in these same spots and rust out. You don't see many modern cars that have this issue but I see it on late-model trucks all of the time. Same thing goes for truck frames no excuse they can and should be built more rust-resistant, especially considering the cost of trucks today.

Real good and step by step informative video. One thing I regret is never learning to weld.

I have read all of the comments to date some good and some not so. One thing at this point that I could add is that the statement that was made at the start was lost or misunderstood "This video will show how to simplify rust repair without spending any money on replacement panels. Repairing rusted cab corners on Ford F150 in real time with basic tools and scrap metal. This will be a quick and easy fix to pass inspection". Also, Chad don't let others get into your head it will eat you up it use to bother me when I was young but now that I'm 70+ not so. Yes, as others put it you have your way and they have theirs I respect yours in this post because you placed yours out there for all to see. Keep it real, nice camera work Jolene and Good girl FINA. 😁

He makes it look so fast and easy

U r a pro!! Your way is your way god bless you! I’ve learned an awe full lot from you!! Thank you for your knowledge and experience!! The best to you! I’m a novice just needing to learn.

great job chad ! i just discover your channel and subscribe right away !

Chad you are good at what u do. Good video thanks

Looks great Chad , I'm sure your friend will be happy .

Hey Mr you are awesome definitely a genius thank you for sharing with us god keep you happy and healthy for long time🙏👍

Getting ready to do 2 jeeps. Cant help myself. We love Jeeps, 1999-2004 body styles all the same. I was lucky, had one that was hit twice by uninsured motorists, so I am cutting out body pieces to weld on to my other Jeeps - But, I still have some spots that need fabbing. This was a fantastic learning experience. Especially love the 3rd arm trick.

Great job Chaddy.

40:53 That's old school braze welding with bronze right there. I love it.

I like your new threads Chad. Professional looking.

Outstanding video chad,I wasn't planning on watching these but I'm glad I did. These videos help alot of people,the others that are critiquing aren't getting their hands dirty and prob don't have a garage with a car and parts in it. Keep it up your a huge inspiration.

Thank You. I have a 2003 Chevy S-10 with cab corners and the seals under the door rusted out. This shows me how to fix it. Question though what thickness metal do I need for this repair. And thank you for teaching me how to repair it

I love it. Great job we need more people out there showing things like this that are easy to do. What a nice way to make it. Not complicated. Great video piss on the critics.

I'm impressed

I luv watching artists at play, Good onyah bro!

Another awesome repair great job Chad.

That's the way u do it..excellent..

First vid I’ve ever seen from you guys, feels like you need your own show 😂 great job

Good job Chad, good filming Jolene! A great team helping a friend out and posting a learning video for DIY enthusiasts

Looking good Chad. Didn't take to long and cheap.

Really helpful ty

Chads skills will never get the chance to go rusty !
