- In this video part 2 of the vlog we cut out all of the old rusty rockers and cab corners on the driver side of the truck. We went over how we cut the panels down to a smaller size if the larger patch is not needed, and why we do it. Also showing where and how I make my cuts to make as little as work possible for part 3. Like, share, subscribe. Thanks for watching.

I love your work you explain it very well i am about to do this on a 2000 chevy extreme i really enjoy watching your video's i learn so much could you show us a frame resto again thanks for the videos
Thanks buddy
If you are welding, be carful. There is a poly insulation that starts on fire real easy!!! I almost burned my 1997 Chevy up welding side panels on it.
We always dig that stuff out, we don't take any risks
Off subject, But any idea what the 'L' style brackets are for on the cab/frame mounts? Trying to figure out why GM put those on those theirs trucks of that era.
I'm not sure
What does a job like this cost for both sides
Roughly $1200 per side
Do u got a link to order em?
Honestly ebay is about the best and cheapest place for these panels
Just curious what is the cost to do this versus having it done? I need to do this but super nervous to start it. Lol
Roughly $1500-$1800 in material for just cab corners and rockers. Roughly $3500 to have it done.
In reality, you’re gonna spend around 500 dollars on patch panels alone. A gallon of bondo was around 55 dollars the last time I checked. However that will be wayyyyyy more than you need. Granted that you have a place to do it, access to air tools, and the proper tools, you can do this yourself for around 1000 dollars. That’s you doing all the work and having the tools. At the very least, you’ll need a cut off wheel, grinder to clean metal and a welder with gas to get clean welds. If you butt weld the panels and grind slowly, but flat, you’ll use even less filler. May even get away with using some evercoat icing if you don’t warp the panels. To apply the body filler you’ll need spreaders gloves but that’s optional. Always mix my filler on a large piece of cardboard because the was paper sheets weren’t big enough. Once applied, you’ll need to work the filler. An air file is best to cut the material straight. But you can use a long hard block starting with 32 grit worming your way up to 220 to get the body filler flat or “blocked”. In between each grit of paper, lightly spray paint the patched area with a dark colored paint so when you sand it, you can see your high and low spots. High spots will be the color of the bondo and the low will be the color of the spray paint. Once you’ve made it to 220, you can then primer the area, either with a paint gun or spray can, but usually 2 part primer is the preferred method. Then again, spray the primer area with a dark spray paint and lightly wet sand with a hard hand block and 220 grit paper, working your way to 400 grit, applying color in between the different grits of papers. Just block until the spray paint is gone. Once you’ve verified no highs or lows and you’ve gotten to 400 grit, you can move to on to painting the desired color. My advice to you if you’re wanting to do this yourself, watch good videos of how to properly remove panels, how to properly prepare them for cutting and welding and how to install. Also familiarize yourself on how certain tools found in body shops work and what they do. Lastly watch videos on how to apply body filler and how to prepare it for paint. This was a good video on how to remove panels and how to prep them. Things like this is what you need to watch when wanting to do a diy project of this caliber.
@@ScratchandDentGaragethe patch panels are $30 a piece and you can two part adhesive glue them on
@@MrMcflanigengamingI think I’m gonna give that a shot . Have no welder . Was thinking about cutting out the rust and using parts I need of the panel and put on the inside pop riveting them in. Don’t really wanna sink 2000 or three grand into a 35 year old truck . Have no other rust than a little on bottom of extended cab corners on the bottom .
where did you get your replacement panels
Raybuck.com, or some time ebay
Where are you located?
Tipton, Indiana
@@bpbrestorations2093 I'm also in tipton Indiana
Thanks but don't show me anything until you show me how one guy, working alone can get that box off.
It's called a lift. It's sitting in the middle of my shop. I drive over it, unbolt the bed and with the touch of a button........ bam it's off. 1 guy.
@@bpbrestorations2093 Yes, a lift, great. But how many guys have got that, working at home? You do your jobs in a shop.
I started in a 20 x 24. Took many many years to get where I am at. Thanks for noticing. We do have a nice shop now.
@@jimervin1637 or just use a engine joist to remove bed that’s what I do there’s video’s on you tube how to do it…
@@scottyb8640 I don't exactly have an engine hoist. Maybe I could rent one. But I do have camper jacks which I was considering using.
