Hello. In today’s video we will begin the rust repair on the 1948 GMC truck cab. We will start off by replacing the lower door post, repairing the broken front body mount and building a new front floor pan using simple tools. It can be intimidating knowing where to start on any major rust repair project, so I will also spend some time discussing how I approach rust repair and how to avoid making devastating mistakes.

Fast forward? The hell, you say. I intend to absorb the full edutainment value to be found therin.
If you became one of the retired, Canadian expats living here in rust-free Arizona, I wonder what you would do with your time?
Great work Kyle, thanks for sharing. You should train Poh and Allan to hold the torch for you.🤠
Excellent fabrication . Will be better than nes 👍
Is this a replacement cab for the "fully restored" , now running, truck that you got from the used car lot at CWM? I get lost in the years of older vehicles from channel to channel. 👍
Fitzee would be proud.
Brother I am very interested in all the work you are doing. If you think about it most big shops would not even look at it cuz thy would not want to put in all the work, and you are putting in your own sweat equity and bringing this classic back to life. Great work brother you are doing a incredible job 👏. God bless you and yours.
I, personally, want to see anything you see fit to do, as I am always learning from your work.
Thank you for sharing.
All We Are Is Rust In The Wind (the B side to the group Kansas big hit from the 70's). And an anthem to Carter Automotive Restyling! Keep fighting the good fight Kyle! 😎
When it comes to building cars and trucks you do the best you can with what you have . My 65 mustang needs rear torque boxes where the left spring sit . You can buy new one at 400$ each and wait 2 months to get in . Nope making them .thanks for giving me the tools and knowledge to do the job
While my 62 C10's upper cab is rustier than this 48, my lower is in better shape, which doesn't say a lot for this cab. Other than nice work to bring it back!
