Hey we are back on the 1948 GMC pickup rust repair. This time I will be replacing the cab corner. Although the video is about 1947-1954 Chevy or Gmc trucks, the process is largely the same for welding cab corners on any make or model of truck from any era including modern trucks. Aftermarket cab corners, when available, will always have some fitment issues, but they are often better than starting with nothing and can be manipulated to produce an acceptable repair.

Working on projects by yourself tends to suck, at least the camera is a pretend friend. I do enjoy your work and am learning more. I have always focused on the mechanical side, and now trying the bodywork side.
From my experience working on older vehicles I swear that assembly men were issued two tools: a hammer and a crowbar. So much for those who say they don't build them like they used to.
Could you have used the shrinker to make the panel fit better?
I can see spot welding along that seam a little bit at a time would definitely keep the metal from warping as you finish welding. great content and great instructional video as well.
Have you seen the views cat vids get? You should forget this metalwork foolishness!
Excellent video. I'm sure the cats would give you 2 thumbs up if they could even though Poe claimed it was a yawner. Silly kitty.
Gonna have to share this with the Rusty Beauties channel and Facebook group.
Also, thanks for mentioning the ads. I didn't know you could control where they land in videos.
Great vid, again! Simple straight forward explanations (less rambling than you think) and some instruction. I like the newer production “values” you’re incorporating….. overdubs are great for Timelapse! If it allows more productivity on the project, it allows for more content on the channel.
Glad you’re scrapin’ a buck out of it… with the way the likes rarely reflect views.
Will the new windshield be a clear seam up the middle or will you use the metal divider strip like it has now?
hope you have been practicing your rock throwing and building the muscles in your arm as i live in Wales Uk so by watching all the advert you get paid more than if i get halfway through then skip chuck another one in ill suffer it for quality entertainment many thanks for all three of you
I have no idea what you are talking about because I no longer have to watch stupid advertisements my life is stress free thanks to add block plus and it is free, it blocks around a thousand adds a day.
Thanks as always for sharing your talents.
Ive been fabbing in various sheet metal disciplines for 57 yrs. I learn at least 1 new thing every vid. Great channel. Great content. Thx for the effort.
I would prefer a cat that does body work while ranting.
Ahhh, the Cut and Butt…nice work. Coming along nicely!
Funny about coddling, seems like one way or the other someone needs it.
With Scott, I enjoy watching bits with his dog and with you, it's with the cats. Love it.
love your work,fantastic well done
