My 11 year old daughter saw this. She's in love. I've had a truck with this body style since I was 16yo and now I'm 54. My daughter wants my 64 for her 16th birthday but since the old trucks are pretty unsafe by today's standards, giving her mine just wasnt going to happen. Your videos have inspired me to complete one of these to give to her for her 16th bd. Would really like to be able to communicate with you about this at some point. Beautiful truck man.... Truly

I really think the truck came out really good. I love the way you used the Gerry Can. I’m working on a 1955 Chevy 3100. I was going to do the oil on the truck but now that I seen you washing yours I think I might be doing what you did so it can be easier to wash!!
@FLManGarage8 күн бұрын
Thank you for the kind words! That is an awesome year! I love the 55s! The product is used is nice because its not oily and will protect the truck for many years and many washes to come! I definitely recommend it!

I'm way late to your project but I have really enjoyed catching up. Great job both on the work you put in, but especially on your documentation. I'll be starting a 1963 GMC longbed and plan to drop on a early 2000's Denali and watching everything you've done here is extremely valuable. Thank you so much and great job.

Love how the build turned out! Nice work on the bed and gas can. 🤘🏼 Go with Vintage air! I did on mine and it was very easy to install. It got super cold too and heater was great too! I would say it’s a weekend project. It’s more expensive for sure but you won’t regret it. Same with the steering column. I did the cheap one too but wished I did the Ididit instead. I think im going to try a square body Chevy on a Tahoe frame. I think that’s the next project for me.

Did the kit not come with provisions to mount the bed or is that only so you could mount the wood floor? Glad you’re finally done with the project and happy that you’re able to enjoy it, but still sad that you’re done. Lol Also, I don’t know in what conditions you plan on driving the truck, but it might be a good idea to treat the bottom side or put some kind of coating for water splashes or debris just so the wood won’t rot from underneath . 🤙🏽
@FLManGarage2 ай бұрын
The kit did come with provisions to mount the bed, but unfortunately all the steel cross members on my bed were rusted out beyond repair, i could have replaced with steel cross members, but since i knew i was doing a wood bed anyway, i figured the wood cross members would work just as well and be easier! Thank you for the kind words! More episodes will be coming sooner than later i think! Starting on the ac components this weekend!

Looks great, i have my grandfathers 1970 ford ranger. My dad gave to me. I love the patina on the color on mine. What process did you use for body? Paint and what did you treat surface rust with ?
@FLManGarage2 ай бұрын
Awesome!! That sounds like a cool truck! I posted this info on the other comment on the other video as well, but will add here as well incase anyone has a similar question I used this product to treat any surface rust on the underside of any panels. It is basically black spray paint. So dont use it on any part that you want to keep patina amzn.to/3LffZaJ For surface rust on the patina, i scrubbed with these pads. amzn.to/3REu7gW Then for areas that were worse, i used 300 grit sandpaper. After the surface is prepped and cleaned, i sprayed it with 2-3 coats of poppys patina “glossed out”. poppyspatina.com/collections/glossed-out/products/glossed-out-spray-on-clear-coat Thank you for the view and comment!

Awesome build! Retro air makes good kits and if you still have the tahoe compressor you might get away with using that. Im going to have to DM you on instagram about a few shows coming up i live on the east coast but over in clearwater theres a show on july 4th im taking mine on if i get my engine issues figured out by then and hoping i get my ac going by then to!
