Dang! Y'all are amazing. I was looking at the Apache yesterday and I thought what am I going to do about this? Sure enough, I checked this morning and Dave has made it perfectly simple. Simple looking anyway. Thanks for a great channel.
I really like this Video. The only thing is I would really like to see all the steps yuns do no matter how small. If yuns even did a time laps video that would be great. I own three 1964 truck's a c10,c20,c60 and any video on the 1960-1966 I enjoy but thus far y'all's have been the best. Thank yuns for these great videos and tips.
Another awesome video David. I’m about to dig into my 66 and would really like to see a video on how you’d tackle the leading edge of the hood on this year truck. They all seem to rust out somewhere between the parking lights. I’m sure many are replacing that panel and making the same repair. Thank you for the awesome content. 🔥👍🏼🔥
We're about to do a video of a spot repair on a door. You could basically apply the same process to any other body panel including a hood. Should be out sometime in Feb '21.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Agreed many of the techniques translate but that particular hood patch panel presents some unique issues. It would be interesting to see the angle of attack for a clean repair.
hey David i really need you to do a video showing how to do front fender replacement on the 60-66 but not just the skins but the mounts at the back and front please show us both so how you would mount brothers fender skins to the mounts and then how to mount them to the cab .. this is a great video too thanks so them all :)
We have a video about fender rust repair that ALSO shows how to remove and replace the fender. Here's a link to that video: th-cam.com/video/3oI7gXELQCg/w-d-xo.html
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV hey thank you for the link i watched it it was helpful but i have question so lets say a person does not have a welder yet and also has not learned how to weld yet. can that person say go to your website and buy the new fenders with the braces already attached so they can just be bolted on ? yes sir i am sad to say i dont have a welder and dont know how to weld :(
@@WPR_Viking_Wolf73 Looking back at your original question now, and we think we see what you're saying, but there's really no reason to need welding experience when installing one of BROTHERS 60-66 fenders, because they DO already come with the braces welded in place. You simply bolt them on and go!
David I have a 1960 c10 and I'm looking to replace the roof/wine shield panel, and are the spot welds above in the rain gutter? You should drop a video on replacing the panel 😁.
Great job guys, really professional repair, unfortunately for lots of folks at home proper rust repair is usually too expensive or time consuming and that's why so many old classics are full of bondo, it's easier for most people to spend 20min with bondo and rig over all the rust than spend 1 whole week on one small spot, unfortunately i see that kind of stuff all the time in typical budget driveway restorations.
Rust repair tools of the trade are a big extra expense as many people don't already own them before taking this on, so you are right that Bondo can be far quicker and cheaper for some jobs. I would say in my experience people just think rust repair is way beyond their ability. I have a friend that is a smarter guy than me but he thinks he could never do this even though I know he could. This work is not beyond people's ability however it is a process, you take your time don't rush and use your common sense, I think people would surprise themselves at what a great job they can do. If they can do all other vehicle repairs I am sure they can do this too. Obviously you won't do this if you don't have access to any of the tools required.
But most of the roofs I have seen on these years, including my 64 had the rust THRU the drip rail. Decided to just delete the drip rail . Either way it is a lot of work if the rail is rusted to, which it mainly are here in Pa.. That being said it was still easier to replace the rusted roof with a brothers roof panel which fit great.
Yeah, drip rails can be a pain in the rear, but for those we typically just fabricate the small sections of drip that is rusted and go forward with replacing the roof as shown here. Thanks for watching!
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV new cars seem to be held together by more panel bond adhesive than welds. Rumor has it, in case of a crash the adhesive is even stronger than the weld. Have you ever tried one of those belt file grinders instead of a disk grinder? I have seen people grind out welds with those, and I think the procedures for the 3M stuff recommend those as well and warn to damage the lower layer of metal by no means when cutting or grinding. But I think their procedure mentions hardened steel as well, so that might as well be something more important on newer vehicles.
For doing good work, sometimes buying good tools is key. In this instance the welder you choose is one of those tools. Don't cheap out on the welder, get a good one. We use a Miller 110v Mig here in the shop and quality is never a problem!
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thanks that helps but what about the other weatherstripping like top to bed seal and upper windshield to top seal for double wall hardtop. Thanks again
That depends where your rot is on the inside. Some of those panels are available to patch problems, and some are not. If panels are available then pick them up and use what portions of them necessary to get the rust out, otherwise you'll have to create your own patches from sheetmetal.
@@ghostfire319 Man it's a great way to keep down the heat, get a solid weld between the panels and cut down on time. Unfortunately it's not a common thing to have in your garage, so we try to illustrate the way most guys will be doing the repair. Good luck with your project!
I just recently started a project on a 66 c3000. The roof is where I want to start. This video is exactly what I needed.
I have watched this video 4-5 times preparing for us to do the same project. Your guys videos help us and help make our videos look good too!
Right on!
Dang! Y'all are amazing. I was looking at the Apache yesterday and I thought what am I going to do about this? Sure enough, I checked this morning and Dave has made it perfectly simple. Simple looking anyway. Thanks for a great channel.
Absolutely our pleasure!
These skins are one of the best fitting panels I’ve worked with. A great time saver in this type of project. I just did one a few months ago on a 65.
Right on! Thanks for watching.
Where can you buy them from
@@willieboyd79 Brothers Trucks, the website that this TH-cam channel is from.
Is there anyone who sells roof for cars
@@willieboyd79 really depends on the car. It can be extremely hit or miss on which cars do and don’t.
Just want to give a shout out and upvote for you guys posting the great how-to videos on old trucks!
Thank you for watching Robert!
Nice DIY video . I’m getting pumped up for this project. Thanks David
My pleasure!
Really appreciate this video. I will be doing business with brothers before anyone else.

Do you have parts and a video to repair the inside of the cab on a 67-72 C10?
We are actually shooting that video this week. Should be posted sometime in November.
Good job Bro!!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. 👍
Absolutely our pleasure!
Can you use seam sealer in the new drip rail instead of body filler? Would it have as good a chance of cracking as the body filler?
You can use seam sealer, Dave just chooses not to.
Self-leveling urethane seam sealer is the only way to go.
Great Job Thanks
No problem, thanks for watching!
Great 👌

I’d panel bond and a few welds!

Im rebuilding my late grandfathers c10 and the roof panel seems to be ok. But its rotten inside the cab. Whats the best way to tackle that job.
That depends where your rot is on the inside. Some of those panels are available to patch problems, and some are not. If panels are available then pick them up and use what portions of them necessary to get the rust out, otherwise you'll have to create your own patches from sheetmetal.
I also have that problem the front is rotted out and it has no windshield and no clue what to do and can’t find any replacement panels
Can you do a video for 67 72 roof skin??
We're planning on it, but we're looking for a donor truck since nothing here at the studio needs a roof.
You can use mine lol.
@@davidoscoy333 Do you live in SoCal?
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV can I send you a picture of mine? It’s a 69 needs the roof skin I’m in SoCal

Not at the moment, we'll add that to our list.
just blast that roof.
Instead of rosette welds, why not use a spot welder? It would be less work and also give you a more factory look.
Not everyone owns a spot welder, so this is the DIY option. If you have a spot welder, then absolutely use it.
@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV honestly I don't have one as of yet, but have been looking at a cheaper model IE Harbor Freight or something along those lines.

I think a spot welder would work really well here.
@@SkaterStimm True, but that's not exactly a common tool in most peoples garage. We try to illustrate how most DIY'ers would be doing it at home.
How about some fiberglass filler in there? 15:11
Yeah, you could use a fiberglass filler if that is something you're familiar and comfortable with.
