1957 CHEVY 3100 PROJECT VLOG #3

[@TrentonHeath]

Enjoying these truck vlogs as well, Brian! I have an old ‘65 Mustang that I’ve owned for years and still have a lot of work to do on it. Old classics are definitely a love of mine! Keep up the great work!

[@davisjacobs5748]

Side note, I would totally love to see a collaboration with my two favorite footwear channels! Y'all should make something happen!

[@josephtaverna1287]

Trenton and Heath at least it's a Ford good luck with it god bless you and your family

[@jamescooper7957]

Every time I watch your truck vlogs, the theme music to Sanford & son runs through my brain.

[@jzaccoustics1984]

Brian you can pick up welding. I'm a cabinet maker. Several years back I started restoring a 69 cougar xr7. But it needed lots of welding to repair it and add parts to. I could not afford to pay a welder to do all the repairs so I put my mind to learning and bought a Lincoln welder. I took some classes. Got certified and now I can do all the welding I need. So if a cabinet maker with absolutely zero knowledge on wielding can do it I know you can do it too!!!! By the way I love your boots and your channel.

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

Thank you 🙏

[@theeuglyduckling9476]

He's a welder alright! Glad to see you can learn from a real one! Great stuff.

[@RatdogDRB]

It'll sit a little lower with the additional weight of the engine/transmission installed too. Love those old trucks.

[@eleven.eastgate.twelve967]

Give thanks for taking Us along on this Chevy journey! 💚💛❤🤙

[@motaman8074]

Brian, I have no doubt you will be able to pick up welding, if you put your mind to it.

[@mikeboone4425]

This is a labor of love reminds me of restoring my 1928 ford model A back in 1957 took 2 years but what a beauty. Happy trails

[@Shift2Movies]

Reminds me of me and my brothers working on our cars back in the day!

[@72polara]

Good to see you making progress on the truck. The rivets are difficult to remove since when they are driven in, the shank expands to fill the hole. Makes a very tight, rigid fit since there is no slop like when bolts are used. That front end kit sure makes the job easier. I swapped the front end, engine and trans from a 1977 Plymouth Fury into a '57 Ford pickup. I modified the Ford frame to have 4 pads to accept the Plymouth K member usinghte original bolts. Made a rear trans mount with sockets for the torsion bars. Took out the overload springs in the rear and it had a nice stance.

[@wesleydavis1532]

Looks great brian,I had a 1976 C10 stepside a few years back and loved working on and restoreing that old truck.There alot of fun and they turn heads.

[@kevinklepp9526]

Can’t wait to keep seeing progress on your truck I know it’s going to turn out great with your eye for perfection if it turns out like a pair of your boots it’s going to be an awesome truck thank you for sharing your truck build with us

[@JeffMadre]

A friend who lays bead is a friend indeed!

[@ericcastillo592]

Really genuine homble person. Love the truck

[@addictedtoeverything]

Wow nice work, with the engine installed it will be at a good riding level , great work

[@jsalsa2369]

Glad to see the work in progress videos. This gets me motivated, I have a 68 CamaroRS I need to start working on, it's been sitting for over 10yrs. Keep up the good work.

[@jimz68]

I swear, my blood pressure drops when I watch your videos. You have a really chill demeanor that is very comforting. Good man.

[@rickbaker4571]

She's comin' along real nice. Keep up the great work and thanks for bringing us along!!

[@bartbutkis]

Haha! Those are some serious A-arms you have chosen for your front suspension. Much better ride. 😊

[@FarmAlarm]

That thing is gonna ride so nice Brian. Way better than My stock 49 on Bias Ply Tires lol. Good job my friend.

[@stepheningermany]

4:10 "Looks like he came from the 40s..." says the guy who looks like he came from the 50s

[@stepheningermany]

@@Geronimo00 Yes, I wasn't sure which era to pick... lets just say he could be an extra on the waltons

[@OCLagunaBeach]

"This truck needs work" that's an understatement lol

[@SerpentSyndicate]

I just picked up a 57 and had it delivered today. I will be rebuilding mine as well.

[@RayLow92]

Welding is fun love it hopefully I can get back to school for it soon

[@nriqueog]

Your bro has got them skills! I got a 83 Chevy S-10 in my garage, thankfully it doesn't need the work you're doing to your truck since I'm keeping it stock. I just need to get the bed pulled a bit and then paint it. BORED out 2.8 V6, everything else is stock. I would say it's 80% original, since the OG engine had to be replaced.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Looking good brother nice work Stay Safe and God Bless

[@mikespunchlist]

Be sure to think ahead about the fuel system. You need to locate a fuel cell somewhere in the back and get that tank out of the cab. That is a must do. I have a 69 short bed step side that I remade some years back. I went from the straight 6, 3 speed to a 4 bolt main 350 with a Muncie 4 speed from a Corvette. It runs out nice.

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

Front end looks totally solid and beautiful, great job!

[@ReelAnglerReviews]

Had to rewatch some videos waiting for the next upload. Hope all is well Brian, keep working hard.

[@richardtrevino5797]

The best upgrade besides the drive train is your suspension. Good luck with your build.

[@wrbwn]

Progress , small steps. You will get there.

[@reedharrigan9497]

Looking forward to this build videos as well as your regular shoe repair videos.

[@kevindumais9610]

Looking Good Brian.

[@johnp556]

One look at Reuben, yep, that dude knows what he's doing.

[@PIasmaZombie]

did you finish restauring that 57 chevy truck ? i wonder how that truck looks now. the 57 chevy truck is my favorite truck, lookswise.

[@adamforman9264]

Your truck looks also e when its lowered to like a 4&6 drop so 2in drop spindles will be needed an the rear I think you can take 2 leafs out of each side with a 4in block,..✌😎

[@joanneganon7157]

Hi Brian, can't wait to see what you do with this amazing Truck! Your very talented 👏🎉👍💥 JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@hermyherm365]

Drop spindles bro ! But when you put the engine and trans it’ll be lower much love carnal I enjoyed this update !

[@CurtCorwin]

You can weld! Ask your friend for some scrap steel and a quick how-to. KZbin helped me learn. I bought a TIG and just jumped in. MIG is easier. You can do it! 😁

[@monogamousbonobo3923]

Nice job brother! Keep doing you!

[@mendozakenneth247]

good work thanks we enjoyed it keep up the good job

[@kellykonoske91]

Nice 61 Ford Unibody on the street!

[@Notarivs_Anonymvs]

Brian, is that a Squarebody in the background? Love the video on the progress of your truck. That was my dream truck in my teen years. Never got one 😞, maybe one day. Enjoy your build and thanks for sharing!

[@aaronk534]

You can do it. Its very similar to sewing. Just takes a little practice. Youll pick it up

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Welding. My father was a welder by trade, now retired. It seemed like alchemy to me! You gotta know the difference between all kinds of steels, what kind of weld is best for what kind of application, how much amperage to push for what kind of wire you use... and so on...

[@DonaldChapman]

Beautiful welds!

[@timrobles5417]

That's awesome brother

[@RFJersey]

Great work, can’t wait to see the Dayton’s on it.

[@davidmillhollon486]

Your truck is going to great I love the year model you have got I wood like two have one like it good job.

[@sheph7ceo799]

geeee you have the same fancy workshop for your truck that I do...

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

You already know buddy. 👍

[@javiera7001]

Very nice pearl!

[@nikfeo]

Отличный проект! Успехов!

[@MoBangFoYoBucks]

Dannnng! That's a lot of work Brian.😎👍

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

😁

[@timrobles5417]

For all that how much did it cost you for all that work and parts.

[@matthewnutter839]

have you ever seen john fluevog's car? (shoe maker from canada) he stitched up a nice leather interior. it's super smooth.

[@gabrieldumont172]

Good work as usual Kid

[@tave9011]

The bootlegger!!💪🏼

[@robertrodriguez2416]

AAA beautiful truck

[@cirocundin]

Eh, what’s all that “I dunno” and “maybe I can...”. Nip all that. No one is born knowing how to weld, do body work or make boots. Take it lite. Stand that up and make it happen.

[@buddameyerbuddameyer4598]

you will have the wight of the motor so it's not at the stance yet so just get all the waight on the front end first.

[@volcanowb]

Most refreshing

[@Shift2Movies]

Love it! :D

[@John-rx3xx]

you got goooood workers there they may need some boot work done

[@evilcryalotmore]

Brian we go to the same home depot! I moved down to the south bay.

[@TXDeathInvestigator]

Brian, look up Rick Maylender. His KZbin channel is Classic Truck Rescue. He’s up in Oregon, and specializes in 1955-1959 Chevy and GMC trucks. He might be able to help with parts.

[@robertlindseyjr8396]

Very nice man

[@Dirkadew]

Some role club coins from those rivets would be cool

[@rule62live90]

Brian the Truckmaker. #roleclub

[@Guabasa74]

I wish you the best Journey on your truck if you need any parts my way let me know

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

Thank you, I’m actually looking for a dash panel and some rear fenders. Please email me at [e-mail]

[@navigatorx1013]

BOXING THE FRAME IS A "NO-GO" ITEM. THE FUEL TANK FILLER SHOULD BE REPOSITIONED, TOO.

[@PyramidPureFoods]

57 Chevy Re-Soul

[@tombob671]

Wii sit lower with 800# of motor and trans installed

[@dam1041960]

Master and not his real son truck. Big dummy and little dummy.-lol! If you get it. Roll on brother! Love the work! Boots and truck.

[@EngTecher]

Cool

[@jack545]

cool

[@juancarlos-bq6ew]

ten cuidado, no mires directo cuando se suelda :) suerte

[@GS-st9ns]

I like restoration project I do quite a few of them. Restored my house, old sewing machines Etc. Not nice to ask a person what year they were born, it doesn't matter especially on KZbin.

[@artemsiberian1868]

Привет из России.

[@ddave7026]

I almost bought a Apache

[@WELDERMADEHEADBANDS]

Brian I’ll get you to become a master welder if you trade me for a pair of boots! Brown RC Underdogs with the Vibram wedge sole. As a matter of fact any pair RC boots! As a matter of fact again it would be my pleasure to show you no matter what!

[@ddave7026]

Mig? Smaw? Tig?

[@12babyapes59]

Thats not how the song goes!
