Probably gonna have to make a patch for that floor. If you hit it with the welder, you are just going to have a bigger hole! The old truck is amazingly solid, I doubt you would find one around here like that. Keep up the great work Cody!
I’m afraid to say it, but I think you’re right. The more I picked away at it the more holes appeared, so I guess I’m gonna learn how to weld this week🤣. I gotta say though I’m very thankful that it’s in this good of shape (age considering). I’ve seen what that Midwest road salt does to these trucks, and makes my rust problem not seem so bad at the end of the day. That’s for watching Jason! Hope you have a good week😀👍!
Good start on the project mate u should be right spot welding that hole. Fish oil is great for rust u can spray in to places u can't get to and it just eats in to the rust and stops it. Can be painted over to. Good luck.
Thanks😀. Ya I’m hoping the metal isn’t too weak to weld. It’s gonna be a bummer if I have to patch it in. I’ve never heard of fish oil to protect metal before🤔. That’s really interesting especially if it can be painted over. I think I’ll give it a try😀👍!
the interior of that truck is in really great shape overall! Its amazing how the lumbar always seems to work in these old OBS trucks lol, i love it. Your floor mats look exactly like mine in the 92, gotta love the old heel print tears in the floor board. I actually have a very similar rust hole from someone using self tapper screws for something. I'm exactly like you Cody, i dont know how to weld so ive been dreading messing with it for fear of messing it up worse. Project is coming along great brother! looking forward to the next video!
For being 27 years old I’d agree that it’s in fairly decent shape. It’s funny that of all the things jacked up with this truck the lumbar works perfectly...🤷🏼♂️....Go figure😂. On the down side I have no clue how to fix that rip in the floor, so I’ll have to get creative on that one. I’m actually looking forward to welding something in. Even if it looks awe full no one’s ever gonna see it anyways. If I try to weld a patch in, and end up catching the truck on fire you can learn from my mistakes when it comes time to tackle the rust in your truck🤣. Thanks for the support as always James! Hope everything’s goin well!😀👍
Thanks for posting this. I've got a 1992 F150 2wd Custom that I plan on painting the floor black with Duplicolor plastic paint. Those shifter bolts are a pain!
Sorry to see all that rust! I say this as someone who's never welded before, but I would think that floor pans would be a good place to "get your feet wet" with welding. They don't have to look pretty, no one's really going to see them, and they'll be covered up with carpet/vinyl anyway. As long as the patch panel is in place and sealed-up right..... good to go in my book. The old gal needs some love, but I think it's certainly doable!
I couldn’t agree more! Of all the places that need to be welded this is probably the best spot to learn. Even if its the ugliest weld ever no one will ever see it anyways. It’s gonna be one heck of a learning curve🤣! Thanks for watching man👍!
That shifter bolt threw me for a loop the first time I messed with one as well. I got a kick out of the solo seat removal, there’s no smooth way to do it lol.
It was pretty frustrating trying to take that thing off, but it’s actually a pretty brilliant way to keep the shifter in place. What I didn’t show on camera was that my GoPro SD card had an error right when I took the seat out, so I had to put it back in the truck and rip it out a second time🤣!
Good tip on those seals on top of the gearbox. I’ve been looking at similar obs Fords. Thanks for the help and fun. I look forward to watching you learn to weld. I have to do the same soon. 👍. Merry Christmas. 🎄
It’s just one of those weird quirks with these trucks, but cheap and easy enough to fix. When it comes time to weld it’s gonna be one heck of a learning curve🤣. Glad you’re enjoying the restoration series so far Mr. Randall😀👍! Merry Christmas!!🎄
Great video as always Cody! 😀 You made *my* back hurt just by watching you lift that bench seat by yourself! 🤣😬. Better watch it buddy lol. The interior teardown went smooth. There are a lot of great welding videos on here that will help out. Thats the beauty of TH-cam 🙂👍 too bad you're not closer, I'd love to give you a few pointers. Im no expert neither. Practice makes perfect though buddy! I can't wait for the next episode! Take care and be safe ❤🔧
Thanks Zane👍! Ya I was a little over confident lifting that seat by my self🤣. It would’ve been awesome if you were closer cause I’ve seen your work on that dodge crew cab frame, and those welds looks like a million bucks. Maybe I’ll just ship the truck out to you for the weekend🤣. You’re 100% right though there are some fantastic how to vids on this exact problem I have, so I’m optimistic I’ll get it done without too much hassle. Thanks for watching man take care😀🤙!
I pulled out my moldy carpet. I think I’m going to poke some holes near the rockers and roll some bed liner on the floor. I would rather no mess with the carpet.
If you don’t mind used ones I’d highly recommend you check out your local junk yards. Usually you can find decent ones for less than $50. If you want brand new replacements you could check out LMC Truck or even Amazon might have aftermarket ones for sale.👍
@@ydocproductions5593thank you it’s because since my windows are manual there is a piece of the door showing and we are in the process of restoring it, might consider making it electric if it’s not too much work
@@raulangulo6351 I haven’t heard of it being done before but I’m sure the fuse box would be set up for it. You’d just have to put in window and lock motors as well as the wiring harness to go with it.
great opportunity to learn to weld. nothing is critical. if you are not happy with it, you can grind it out and do it again. no one was born a welder...everyone has to learn.
Your 100% right J.C. Of all the places that could’ve needed welding this is probably the best spot. Even if it looks terrible it’ll still be covered up anyways. Thanks for taking the time again to watch, and I’m lookin forward to the live stream tomorrow.👍

Nice information. Love the channel
Thank you so much I appreciate it!😀👍

...unless you live in Alaska which might actually make some sense
Haha🤣
Did you know that the center folds down into an arm rest
@@OliversRcAddiction71 I did!👍
@@ydocproductions5593 just wondering because I was shocked when I found out it folded down
@@OliversRcAddiction71 not all single cab trucks had that feature, but I was glad that mine had it👍
Mines all rusted the fuck out from 1990 so ill have to do this lol
It wasn’t fun but I’m glad my cheap welder was able to handle the job
