Dude, thank you so much for doing this, I've got something similar going on with my truck(with winter coming as well) and this is just the ticket. Also, thank you for posting a video of a regular guy working on his back in the driveway like 95% of us instead of tricked out shop with every tool under the sun. Way to keep it simple and no music, just the work.

A lot of people will poo poo that, but I like your style. It ain't no duct tape band-aid. Subscribed

Excellent video man, I love it. Simple, to the point, really really helpful. Going to be doing this to my rusty S10 so this video is great.

the way that weld sounds,it`s a good welding machine

i cant call this a quick fix but you do make it look simple.

That's the kind of “repair“ that used US cars are famous of.

It works and diy for free good job bro. It may come back but it will be a long time before that

Excellent video. i have same problem right now. Your working with what you got to make it better for what its worth.

Thanks for the info I have to do the same thing to my truck

next time use ridged paper from dollar store to make your side templates then trace it on your steel plate and then youll have a 1 piece bracket, will save you a ton of work and much stronger with a perfect fit

A repair like that can last 20 years

this was very helpful

Amazing idea and you should.pattent a kit to repair body mounts

Great work

Great simple way to fix easier.

Very smart and helpful thank you

Prob Harbor Freight. Nice cheap fix though. What ever it takes to keep on moving on a budget is alright with me.

awsome dude thanks i got this now

well done! Thanks for sharing

hey this video is quite old, but I have a 98 ext cab Chevy s10 4x4, I have a similar issue to yours, however its not the mount that collapsed, it is the bar welded on the bottom of the cab, where the cab mount goes on my driver side front has rotted through, is there a way to box/repair it ? or is a new cab required do you think ?

You must live in New England too I just fixed one of my mounts yesterday

good job! !!

That's so cheap, lol. Awesome! I would have a hard time doing that though

My frame is rusting out as well body looks great but underneath is all rusted.The next one I buy I,ll try Ziebart rustproofing. If it works it's worth every penny not to have to deal with that.

I wish my rear cab mounts were my problem, but I couldn’t get that lucky. My front ones are doing this and it has ended up ripping the mounting tabs on my front fenders and pushing the fenders down so it always looks like the hood is open too…

Super sweet!!!!

What size body mount hole?

cut the frame mount off, fabricate new and weld on the frame. This guy's capable. Just another e-SIDE hack job.

thank you

should have cut the whole mount off and welded a replacement one on

Like really killer idea I'm going out to rig something up I just dnt have a welder and dnt weld so that limits me I think I'll do the same you did and ware you drilled holes I'll just bolt it in. My mount isent as bad as yours is and really only need a big washer and it would be fine I think

I have no idea how you fixed that crunched up frame good job though

Thank you

How thick was the Steel you used

i need to make new mounts what thickness did you use or what would be best? i was thinking 1/4in

I’m replacing my body mounts. Welding them on. The fuel line is on the other side of that metal that I’m welding to. Is that something I need to worry about?

Watching this video i stared at the welding & burnt my eyes.i forgot to put my mask on

Hello, I tried to find the video of you removing the bolt of the cab mount that snapped off . Did those sockets get the bolt out? I have the same problem on my 99 chevy blazer on the front cab mount. There is no access to the top of the cab mount, they sealed it in metal. Thanks for your help.

looks like he needs rocker panels ! I have a body mount going bad back by the rear bumper on my 99 Blazer !

NIce, job!

Would this pass inspection sticker?

same problem with my s10. when you hit a bump you can feel the cab floor moving and bending

Great video! My 2500 looks the same. Curious, what brand was that drill bit? I can't find any bits worth a crap anymore.

is there anywhere you can buy the actual mount that's welded to the frame? like do they make an aftermarket mount?

Man I wouldn’t mind paying someone to do this for me I never have the time to do stuff like this

get'r done!

After welding, might not be a bad idea to hit it with some rustproofing paint or rubberizer to make the repair last almost forever

What is that silver looking stuff "painted" on there? what is that for? ...nice work by the way.

Nice

You should probably change your user name to Macgyver...great work!

What size hole saw did you use to do this, I have the same problem on a 99?

Nice job, just 1 thing. I noticed all the splatter after u were done with fabricating the bracket. If ur flux welding and ur welder can do both flux core and or argon, switch ur polarity and you will get a much better weld

What size hole did you drill out with the hole saw?

Not exactly what i was looking for. Good Vid, though. I got to cut the Floor Pan and change the Nut.

My front shock mounts look the same way.

What size hole saw?

exact problem with mine

What type of welder did you use

How much did the bed straighten

I envy how you guys get to work on your own trucks rather than being butchered out by lame mechanic wannabes.

i think the arm is gona break too... its rusted as heck :(

They sell a kit with a bolt on mount. Need torches though

man those FRAME mounts are not expensive..... its cab mounts that cost the money. probably could have picked those up for 25$ ..... and if you oil the truck and take care of them they will last foreever

time for a new truck

This looks like the front mount. Anyone ever repaired the rear mount near the front of the bed/rear cab of the truck

You’r one artist mechanic?????

Did this pass safety?

Get rid of truck frame gone

great work,too bad the factories cant use materials that don't rust

Пороги тоже повари.

Quick fix would be to order the mount cut it out and weld the new one back on. You welded on to weakened thinner metal.

The only thing I can say is damn it man get a grinder out get that rust off. That's what you call a weak ass weld

this what happen to your shit when you ether live up north or close to a ocean . the salt just eats it up

That's some garbage by GM.. my '85 Silverado doesn't have rust that damn bad..

If your going to do all that work, why not just weld on a new bracket? 😅

thats made in the usa rust rust rust

With all that cutting and welding it would have been just as easy to cut the old mount off and weld in a new one, dummy.
