yup, getting ready to tackle this and while I already had my panels from brand X they did get my $$$ for panel clamps and some of the seals I needed.
I’ve done a lot of this, but I learn something EVERY time I watch one of your videos! Excellent work!

My Grandpa had an old v6 gmc i redid in the old days when i was about 14/15 years old. all i had was gas welding /brazing . did the cab only. fender rust just like this one, it had the utility box like a old telephone truck.white with turqoise cab.. painted it with old binks model 47 gun i think. cant remember this was about 48 years ago. I did not take the fenders off but did weld the bottom fender to the rocker. LOL hell I was only 14. and Grandpa said it looked great!! He gave me a few bucks ...back then I was really happy. I used the money to order stuff for my 40 plymouth from Jc Whitney Thanks for the memory lane trip
Great story! Thanks for watching.
If only the factory designed better drainage on these old trucks.
Smart advice, very well done project!
Thanks for watching!
Now that's a solid classic Chevy truck with very lil rust good thing u didn't have to replace whole fender & luv your truck tips on Sam's Garage .
Thanks for watching!
Exactly what Ive got to do on my 62. 👍💪😎
Great video. I have to learn this. You presented it well.
You can do it!
Some really good tips. Thanks for the lessons
Dave..... The first video I ever saw you in was making the exact repair.... It's been a few days ago
Thanks for watching our Vids!
Great explanation!!!
Great old truck. Thanks for taking it on.
Curious to see how you treat that nasty door dent. Aside from a cosmetic fix those particular door dents can cause major issues with door alignment especially with concomitant rust issues.
We're looking into repairing that door in an upcoming video, stay tuned!
Hey Paul, did you see the video where we fixed the dent? It's up now on our channel.

Hey Dave how about a demo on how to fix rust on the front edge of the inner fenders?
I wish we had a patch for that, normally we just replace the inner fenders when they rust.
Thanks so much for sharing! Such great and informative videos.
Our pleasure!
After you mark the patch panel do you cut right on the line to account for the patch panel holders. The gap must be around a 1/16?
Nice longer videos 👍
Thank you for the feedback!
👍👍👍great video like always now to go outside and work on my truck
Thanks 👍
He also mentioned an Eastwood rust coating that comes with a long spray tube for both regular and hard to reach, inaccessible areas called Eastwood (yea, no sh*t I know) internal frame coating, here’s a link........ www.eastwood.com/eastwood-internal-frame-coating-14oz-aerosol.html?SRCCODE=PLA00010&gclid=CjwKCAiAjp6BBhAIEiwAkO9WuoYkTp_draNcPkTCCxa6I6tf9PK58NQCZZsqcwOC231awFMrsZUMvBoCyVsQAvD_BwE. It comes along with a spray tube about a foot long and it doesn’t take much. Just a bit and it’s covered. I use it on all my body areas like the fender support where you can’t get anything in there to address the rust. Good luck with your truck.
Good Morning Gentleman, thank you so much for your *Lectures, as I learned = * watching ... as You do..

David, dig watching you on Sams Garage!
When and where is this Sam's garage televised?!

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thanks!!
hi Dave..... great video. I was wondering if you have ever seen a situation where the threaded nut is damaged (the one at the bottom of the inner fender). My fender is in good shape so it doesn't need replaced, but can't seem to get a bolt to take. I am not sure how to fix it....
I've seen it... normally I'll run a tap trough it and that'll work. If it doesn't then you'll have to cut a slot below the nut, extract the nut and place a new one in. that second option won;t be easy or ideal, but of the Original metal is good then it's the best way to save it.
Well done.
Thank you for watching!
Why would you not replace the entire support? Too much work or just not necessary. Thanks and nice video.
We typically only replace as much metal as needed to get rid of the rust and leave the most factory metal we can.
Awesome dude
Thanks 😁
Great video
Thank you sir!
Only a day to let the oil soak into the old rusty hardware? Heck back in mid last decade (2005-2006) I had presoaked the hardware on my '68 C10 for nearly a week, and I still had broken off many of my fasteners removing the front end.
In a classy shop full of quality tools its awesome to see at 4:42 a Harbor Freight tape measure. 😁
Our entire Toolbox is Harbor Freight. Trying to keep it real like everyone that does it at home, very few frills here. Thanks for watching!
Hi
Good video. Before you used the spray paint. That spray bottle. Yellowish liquid.
What did you spray on the metal?
Thank you
It's a rust reformer. SEM makes one called Rust-Mort, and Rustoleum has a similar product too. What we used here was something the local paint and body supply offers.
Thank you.
@@james37603 Our pleasure!
how long will a repair like that last before the rust comes back through
If you do it right you shouldn't have to worry about it for another 50 years.
I wish I could ask questions. Lol
What is he using to cut with?
Just a standard grinder with a cut-off wheel, nothing fancy.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thank you. You did explain it later in the video. I started my first cuts and welds yesterday. It’s on a ‘50 Chevy 3100 front right hand cab corner. Everything was rusted away or barely hanging on. It’s where everything comes together. I’m a bit confused but it is coming together. Lol 😂. Thanks so much for the videos and encouragement.
@@stephensmithsbarsmustangra4 Our pleasure, good luck with your project!

Can you get parts? I ordered some through one of your vendors and they can’t any answers. One piece glass kit 67-72 c10.
Please email "orders@brotherstrucks.com" for assistance and we will can get some answers for you.
Great video! What did you spray on for the rust?
We used a product called Rust Mort.
