WELDING in CAB MOUNT and FLOORPAN FORD (F100 part 53) 

Very well done....when finished, you’ll have a solid and good looking truck....CHEERS

That floor pan came out fantastic! No skimping there!!!!

I thought what a great invention that Unibit. Then I got a book .Popular Mechanics Drilling and Thread Cutting Handbook 1924. There's one in there. Old idea just remarketed. Thanks for the videos.

That looks, foot stompin’ solid, RK! Well done, RK👍

Nice work mate. Good as new if not better, as always. cheers RK.

I use Uni bits, angle drills, and air saws in aircraft structural work. The good part is that metal isn't weldeable, the bad part is that metal isn't weldeable!

Alright RK. Works progressing and looks great. Thanks for the look!

That floor came out great! I bet your rebuilt shoulder got a workout!

Keep on, keepin' on--looks good RK.

Making progressed. Good going.

Now it’s Ford tough Nice job 👍

I love watching you saving this truck from the scrap yard. You bought it just in time it was going to start having some major issues.

Morning RoadKing! Thats a nice job you've done there, Not many people would have thought of adding the crush tube into the support if it wasn't included in the repair part. This side is almost done now and it wont be long before you have all the new metal in the cab.

Floor is coming along looks great ! Nice to have the tools !

Uou're very good at body work; it's a pleasure to watch you work.

Lookin good RK

looking good !!!

Nice solid repair Buddy. That will last for a long time 👍

great detail, my ocd ass appreciates that

That right angle drill . I ended up buying one a few years ago for cabinet installs . I had a similar one ( adapter style that you did ) but when you’re in a blind hole , the adapter flips down and if you can’t get a second hand in the blind hole , it’s as useless as not having one . Anyway ,, I have the Milwaukee ra drill and they dewalt . The mil was cheaper ,,and its was actually better quality than the dewalt 👍😊

Nice job EJ. No more Fred Flintstone floors.

...looks great, comin' right along, good job, stay safe

That is looking very nice King ! Great work there man.. ENJOYED

Good quality weld-through primer is OK to use, just make sure you don't breathe the fumes.

The quality of those multi-size drill bits depends on the number of flutes. The HFT ones usually only have one or two flutes, but they do work ok in aluminum. Haven't tried them in steel.

Watching that upside down is kinda trippy. All the blood rushes to the monitor. ;p)

Them cone drills are handy for all kinds of things, they make perfect holes and even can add a nice bevel too if you're good with them... :D

Well done RoadKing. You should take a trip to Kentucky and help me weld on the old International. BTW, my surgery went off without a hitch. Newk from Kentucky

Proper reversed weight reduction right there! Thanks for letting us in on it. Looking forward to the next one.

Remember this has to comply with family values!! You can’t talk about or show butt welding!! LOL! You’re making progress slow but sure! Too bad you don’t have room in the garage, working out in the driveway waiting on decent weather really slows things down. Hang in there buddy!

Great! More truck videos..comin together really nice

We use those cage nuts all the time for rack mount cabinets but I've only used M6 size so your solution is probably better. When the truck eventually goes to junkyard heaven, the one part remaining is going to be those spacer tubes.

Yep, Thumbs up!

👍👍👍👍

haven't seen your other videos, but I've always assumed the cab mounts were the same in all the F series fords of the era. The inverted 'cone' coming down to the chassis. Did you modify that by cutting that out, or is this just how they did the F100?

👍

Looking good buddy! :) You're making some serious progress :) BTW, Something cool happened to me today! My brother moved into an older house back in 2019, and there is an old workbench in the garage, covered in all kinds of stuff. He finally got around to cleaning it off, and he told me that he found an old power tool with a seized motor attached to it. He didn't want to mess with it, so he removed it, and threw it in a box to give to me. When I took a look at it, I immediately recognized it as the same dual-wheel bench grinder/buffer that you have! :) I thought that was really cool. So now I have one too ;) The bushings seem pretty decent on it, but it definitely needs a new motor. But I am sure I can find one of those for a low price. After that, I'll get it set up in my garage next to my vise and drill press :) Might even make it pretty with a new paint job ;)

Morning mate.will engine night be back soon buddy,miss the crew :o)

Looks good from here The factory never had enough bracing where the tranny cover bolts down

love the videos, im currently in the works of doing the same for my 66 250 however i cannot find the 66 front floor support anywhere online. do yu think i could make the same 64 supports work? i have carolina classics bookmarked and have kept my eye on it. thanks!

She'll be on the road before you know it!

Is that why your cab is not level with your bed because of rotted cab mounts?

Just curious about you wire feed welder, 120 or 220 volts??

I borrowed a welder that doesnt use gas. Is there a wire i can use for this process that doesnt require gas? Thankyou

You're right about the weld through primers. Honda's stance on weld through primer - www.repairerdrivennews.com/2016/12/08/honda-explains-rationale-for-new-change-in-weld-through-primer-rules/ Love your work - going to be a great truck when your finished :)

:)

Your methods are cringeworthy, RK but you're gettin'-er-done sooo...Good Job! LoL
