Yet another great video. My doors are good but I have to weld a patch panel on both sides of my bed just above the rear tires. This video was great for helping me understand what and how much to cut out. My mig welding skills are okay from 10 years of working on stock cars, but my metal fabricating skills worry me!
I thank you for this video.. it’s extremely informative. I do have a question. I’m not a welder. Would it make more sense for me to try a find a used door or have someone do this exact job on both of my doors (71 K5). Thank you
This will really help my 58 chevy truck repair. But my mounting for the hinge on the door is ripped out at the bolt holes. Is there a liner or repair that can fix the hinge mount?
We have some options to repair the pockets, but without seeing your damage its hard to say if what we have will work. Check out our website www.brotherstrucks.com and see if we have what you need.
Not at the moment, but we've got a '62 here at the studio right now that needs floors so we'll add your request to our list! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV The more I poked around the more rust I find so they are a bit worse than i thought,weird that never happens...lol. thank you for the reply though, I'm pretry new to body work.
@@danjim7056 Check out our other videos about sheet metal repair. We have one specifically about repairing the lower corner of the door. We repair the outer, but you'll get a good look at how it all goes together.
Ok I’m gonna be the asshole that says “those safety glasses would work a lot better sitting on your face than sitting on that door skin”. Great video I always get a lot of great information from Dave
Not really, you have to use whatever you can on your door to reference the part goes back on in the right spot. Sometimes when there is nothing at all to reference, we actually recommend hanging the door on the cab and using the rocker panels for reference.
Thanks for the video guys! There's nothing like learning about bodywork from a couple of guys who loves to share their tips.
Our pleasure!

You can do it!
After rolling the edges over and hammering down, do you spot weld them in a few places?
Great video - love the change of scenery from the earlier videos. 💯
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the Arabic translation
Hi. Where did you get those panel holders/clips that held the panels together for welding? What are they called specifically? Thanks!
We carry them, here's a link: www.brotherstrucks.com/PATCH-PANEL-CLAMP-SET-8PCS/productinfo/BWC4787/
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thank you!
what if you only have a flux core welder
Neat is there video on rust floor repair for 55-66 GM truck any information would help.

My outside skin is beautiful but the inside panel is kinda shit where the outside is rolled over. Can I fix this without cutting the outside skin?
It's not likely. Your probably going to at a minimum pry back the outer skin to get to the inner metal.

Nice supra @1:35
Good eye!
I want this guy to de-rust my 70 cst, but I'm afraid he's too far away.
Take a road trip and hang out for a few weeks! Make it a vacation!
Just buy a new door 👍
