Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Those are good welds. I added this technique to my welds. Once the "Rosette weld" is completed, Put a quick hit at the top of the weld .. like a nipple. This will allow a shot of gas to protect the weld as it is cooling. Some welders have setting--- Pre and Post gas settings.
Looks pretty darn good from Ford country!.....of course that's from a Ford with 29,000 miles in 11 years, he spends LOTS of time in the garage! Keep up the good content!
Good content... It does make me a bit nauseous from the shaking cam. I'm watching these in reverse, and I didn't notice that in the 283 video, so I guess you fixed that.
Looking good. I’m about to have to tackle these inner rockers on my 01 suburban too so this is extremely helpful. Some questions though is what did you do about those hard lines behind the inner rockers on the passenger side? Can those be moved or did you just cut carefully around them? Also what did you do about those floor mounts? Thanks in advance!
I replaced all the plastic brackets for the hard lines, once they were loose I carefully moved them out of the way. The floor mounts I had to fabricate what was missing and rebuild. Thankfully the body mount area was ok, only the extentions were rotted.
@@johnthreedouble I can't honestly say, I'm definitely not a professional. But if you can weld a little I think it's a realistic DIY project. A wire welder, an angle grinder and a ton of patience will get you there.
DEXTRO d DH2 if I remember correctly, I will double check in the morning. I run them in the winter, road noise is not bad, they grip pretty well and the were very affordable
I have no idea, I'm not a shop. I'm just a guy tinkering in the garage. But I don't think that I would want to take it on for someone else. I don't have the skill to do it in a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks for the video. You've convinced me to just let my truck keep rusting.
No! I think it's well within the scope of a backyard builder. But realistically it's also not a trivial job.
@@Somewhere_In_The_Barn A guy at the junkyard said I'd have to pull up all the trim and carpet and all that. Then I watched your video. Yep.

It does look really good. The best part is you have the right attitude

Great job I'm about to dive into the same thing, your welds are fine . Wish me luck
You got this, just take your time and be patient! It's a lot of work but not really that complicated.
Thanks GM for filling my Tahoe with water absorbing foam.
Oh yeah I love the crackling sound of rust.
Nice work

Working on getting better with every video. Trying to be mindful of the shaking, and I also added a GoPro recently.
You have heart, I like that 👍
Where'd you get the new sheet metal, boss? I need inners and outers on my Tahoe, left and right side...

How much would a job like this cost? I have a 2002 Tahoe that needs it

What kind of tires do you have on your truck? They look like they would perform well without being too aggressive for off-road/ snowy conditions

The Dakotas are not better at all... We are in Minnesota and it is BAD!!!
How much would this repair costs? I’m also in Ohio
