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.

Your doing it right by using the best pieces available to you for this cab restore. Can't wait to see more of this. Cheers from Michigan 👍
Nice floor work Kyle! Well thought out as to how to keep everything square. Sounds like a good plan with the cab, look forward to seeing how you put in the corner windows. Looks like you guys are knee deep in snow already, I definitely live in the wrong place. 👍
I wish I had your eye for this kind of work, you are very thorough and thoughtful. I am certain this 1948 GMC will endure for another several decades! That is what I want and wish I could live to see.
Nice! Keep it coming!
On the bright side, less to cut away.
I see a newish coat.
I can't wait to see it catch on fire.
Tender reported that all the “Cleaning Karen’s” swiped LEFT😮. But a Clare and a Judy did swipe RIGHT just before they deleted the app🧐.
Also you are #1 with cats that watch YouTube. 😊.
Dirty workbench? At least I can see yours. Mine, not so much.
Its nice to see a person with such a high skill level tackle such a challenging project. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and explaining the importance of measuring. and keeping the proper locations when 90% of the a-pillar is gone! Well done, Sir
I found that corner a little overwhelming, but a systematic approach shows that sometimes the impossible can be carried out if you just have the vision. Another inspiring video.
I ended up doing the same thing to repair my GT6. Bought a spitfire tub to pull panels from and realized it would take much more effort to remove them and graft them in to the other, than it would take the good parts and graft them into the parts car. That saved me a lot of headache and in the end no one can tell.
Keep it coming, loving the project and the info.
