I thought that frame was too far gone but you really worked some magic on it.
-
Very informative. Like others have said, years ago - with less talent and less tools (like plasma cutters) we all junked vehicles with frames like this truck had.
-
I wish they built these trucks to handle the salt. or the DMVs figure out a better way to treat the roads.
-
Nothing “hob cobbled” a very nice frame repair. Thanks for the cool video.
-
Thank god I live in bone-dry Las Vegas NV. Have never seen rust like that before. On the other hand, look at the weight savings! All that nasty heavy steel turned to dust. You did good with what you had to work with. I did thumbs up you.
-
Sure fire way to prevent rust is to leave the northeast. I moved to Florida 19 months ago and I see early 2000s trucks all the time without any rust. A lot of times the undercarriage still has the original black coating from the factory. The only issue is clear coat usually baked off from the hot sun you just don’t see rusty cars/trucks down here truly amazing!!

Wow that frame was complete toast but you worked some serious magic with your welds. Proof that no job is too big!
-
I see you're still using the right tools! 👍

Great video! I’m up in Canada with a 98 c1500 in about the same condition. I’ve been sourcing YouTube content for frame repair (I have time because of our long winters) and yours is by far the most compelling. Thankyou for posting, I can’t wait for spring! Hopefully I can get safeTcap products sent up here.

I am doing a similar repair to my 2009 gmc and I thought was in over my head till I seen you repair this truck. You did very nice work hope I can get mine as nice as you did🙏🏻👍

Your welding is tops, but while at it, I would have gotten rid of all the visible rust. You left alot, so while down there get it all, like the rest of the frame and around the gas tank an on top of it, and then top it of with a rust converter. All of that is easy enough to do and makes you look a whole lot better.

I have a 2003 in the same shape but non body that can help me like you welded on that truck, i live in canada and yes in arust belt also they do not make bodies like they make motors any more, you did a great job welding
-
They make those caps for Jeeps as well. Did not know they made them for trucks also. Any update on the Liberty? Just curious, haven't seen it in a while.

Un desastre era este camión. ¡Qué corrosión! ¡Milagro has obrado! 👍
-
You made this job look easy. How long did it actually take from start to finish?
-
Best silverado Gen2 body frame video out here.

I bought my Silverado new in 2010. Its a 2011 model with the full box frame. It was Fluid filmed within the first month of ownership and reapplied every year. Inside the rockers are shiny and frame is still solid. Factory put some weird wax like coating on it and possibly no paint under that. Fluid film keeps it all soft and together. Best money for prevention I can recommend .
-
Wow—That’s fantastic work! Glad to see you were able to salvage that vehicle.
-
Pretty lucky that Safe-T-Cap is designed for this frame. Very impressive work. thanks
-
If it could reasonably be obtained, I would have replaced the whole rear frame section with one from a donor vehicle. Man, there was too much rust anywhere and everywhere even where it could not be seen inside the frame. Measure and mark where to cut and weld. Two cuts and two welds seems to be a lot easier and less time consuming..
