55’ Chevy Truck | Day #1 | Frame!
Hang out in the shop with me as I start Day #1 of our 55’ Chevy truck build series starting with frame repairs. We need to repair a bent frame, weld the frame and start stripping it down. Follow along if you’d like to see more of our 55’ Chevy Truck build.

You should have heated up the bent section while using the press to straighten it. You would have probably had to clean it good first though so you would not have a fire. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I would have filled in that top part of the frame rail and ground it off to make it look great. JB Weld is great stuff! It is strong.

Love your other channel. But this channel is excellent. I’m not mechanically inclined, but I love watching frame up restorations. I always learn so much. BTW I can tell you are loving what you are doing. Stay strong. I’m sure the channel will grow.

I started a resto mod on a 1955 3100 a little over a year ago with my daughter for her first vehicle. Haven’t made much time for it lately but this inspires me to get started on it again. Thanks and keep it up.

Do you have any videos on how you took the cab &bed off

Hey Mike, nice work welding and repairing the frame, BTW, Justice Brothers ( JB Weld ) had my back for decades! I didn't see it , but did you check the frames' diagonals between the front and rear cross members before you started to remove the front X-member. The GM "ladder frames" are racked sometimes when hit. What other plans do you have for the frame? Glad to see another video, don't know how I missed this one until this morning, this is good stuff keep them coming!

Did you ever consider boxing your frame? Working on my truck frame now and can't decide if I should box it in or leave it. What are your thoughts?
