1947-87 Chevy & GMC Truck Door Dent Removal / Repair / Bodywork

[@voodstoc]

That was badass. I love the fact that you're showing techniques and skills, rather than just trying to sell me a door.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks man!

[@mikes6314]

Dude is a freaking artist. Kudos!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks man!

[@fahadagga4386]

A skilled craftsman at work.

[@1Darkvictory]

Good job! You know the old saying, "if you don't use it, you lose it" Thank for bringing this technique back to my grey matter. I am going to try this on my 69 C/20's quarter panel by taillight. Have a good day! Darren

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Good luck!

Nope!! Nothing never will either!!

Thank you Rick!

[@12x2richter]

That's amazing, especially for not having a ton of special body hammers and pressers and whatnot. Great job.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks 👍

[@matthewwilliams747]

You just gave me hope for my classsic yota pickup door… almost exact same dent! Thank you for the vid!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Our pleasure!

[@scottpella7419]

Awesome video!! Great job saving the paint on that door. I also warm up the paint with a heat gun to make the paint more pliable when pushing a big dent out like that one. It just helps to keep the paint from fracturing any worse. Thanks for taking that challenge...and showing us too!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Absolutely, thanks for watching!

[@geneva760]

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV And sometimes covering the head of a steel hammer with tape can also provide a little bit of added protection for the paint. Great video - thanks. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Great video, very helpful for any of us doing project vehicles! Thank you!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Great camera work. It was awesome to see just how you place tool to get the job done. Keep up the great work. Always waiting for the next vid.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

[@nathankelly2796]

Man keep em coming, how bout small rust spot repair and paint. Love your videos.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

We're about to do a small rust repair on a door in an upcoming video. Not 100% sure we'll be painting it, but stay tuned!

[@archiehitler5264]

That was brilliant, I really enjoyed seeing the metal move and going back to shape.....

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thank you!

[@RESTORATIONRESCUE]

Your videos are great. I like watching these cause I have all these projects coming on my truck

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@BubbaAyers1969]

Nice to know he a body man to not just how to exchanging or installing something.. great work 😃

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks Bubba!

[@robinwendt5527]

Love that you show you can take ur time and save these old trucks. When I get to the old cab of my project this is all gonna help tremendously!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Good luck with your project Robin!

[@jonathanmartinez9577]

Great camera views

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thank you for that feedback!

[@sicsempertyrannis8830]

I've done this before but I went to harbor freight and bought the cheapest hammer dolly set and took a couple different contour Dolly's and welded them to the pump jack ,really speeds the process up.

[@1972davidt]

That was a great video! I have seen those tools before, but I didn't know you could fix a door like that.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You'd be surprised how versatile the tools in your garage can be.

[@NanDo-fm2cg]

Thanks for sharing the details, Dave has a lot of experience and knowledge.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

My pleasure!

[@Wrenchen-with-Darren]

Nice work, you dont give yourself enough credit. Well done and thank you.

[@ItsyaboyR.B]

Im going to try this. I have a 78 Regal and have a dent on my driver side door. Every video ive watched, they popping out newer model cars. Nothing old or with rust and metal. Thanks

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Good luck with the G body project!

[@talonpolach]

This old bird has had some wild nights in a bar I bet lol. Reminds me of my grandpa minus the slow southern draw. Somethin like Sam Elliot.

[@terriem6024]

Thank you for this specific video I have a dent just like this I can't manage to get out

[@RCjunkie]

I started body work when I was 13 now 65, I was told to take the dent the way it went in. The first part hit is the first part to come out

[@seanzeringue1327]

Awsome presentation!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thank you sir!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

One of the major points of hammering it is to release the stress from the metal. It has a memory of the original correct shape and contour. The job of the body man is to get it to move back to that original position

[@devinrogers6877]

Nice work man !

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks!

[@oacumulador]

Great as always!! Thanks Those videos help me a lot! I'm restoring a 59 Apache fleetside :)

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Our best advise is just have fun with the project!

[@lincolnsadler9089]

RMD, I am as well. This site has been a blessing. How far along are you?

[@robertemmons2260]

This was an amazing video! Now to try this out on my bed side.

[@campingadventures8760]

Hi, thanks for all the lessons, much appreciated. Question, where can I find replacement floor panels dos 2005 Ford f150 4 doors, just the 2 fronts. Thank you.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You can try Keystone Parts or AMD, they may have what you need.

[@JazzStrat781]

Loved this video, learned a lot from it too

Wow.👏Very helpful.👏Looks great.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@sysawatphaly993]

Thank you for the vid! Where can I get that jack to push our dents?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

It's called a Porta Power Jack. You can find them on Amazon, Harbor Freight, Eastwood, etc.. Normally about $100-$150

[@markharmon4963]

Are these older vehicles made of panels to heavy guage to be repaired with paintless dent repair methods?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Nope, you can still use a PDR method to repair older sheetmetal

[@mrmeowcomeshome1300]

What make model porta power is that? If I get one from harbor freight is that effectiveas as well? Thank you for making this video its very educational. PS - how many ton porta power is that? How many tons do you need for classic car gauge steel? Thank you

[@errolpoxleitner9586]

Good show

[@ronster6656]

Next episode: cobweb removal. JK. Excellent tutorial! Keep ‘em comin’!!

[@zachsmith5643]

Is there any other recommended ways on how to help push from underneath? I don't have the money for a porta power and it's almost impossible to hold a dolly to the inside while trying to hammer

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

You could use a board and leverage it from one of the openings against another board? Kinda like a see-saw...

[@larrywoodruff7530]

I did the same thing with a scissor jack and a rubber dead blow, it was a struggle.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Yeah, it's not easy. Good job tackling it though!

[@MarksG4rage]

Would It help to use hot water? I have a 82 chevy and I need to get this dent out

[@mattchastain1770]

This gives me hope for my '62 C10 door! Mine doesn't have the trim, and a smaller, less severe looking dent than your example. Since it's smaller, would you suggest hammer and dolly or studs and puller for a newbie?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

We'd suggest you start using some of the methods we show here and then move on to a hammer and dolly or a puller if necessary. We find it's easier to push these out from behind than to try and pull them from the front.

Heck yeah man!! The original stuff is alot if times the best!! Reuse as much as you can!!

Thanks for this great share!!

Clever way to use a porta power. Idk if I would've thought of that

What’s the name of that jack you have?

I got the same type of dent if not a bit a worse it’s on my passenger side I got a 1961 Apache

Great Tip

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks man!

[@chuckdurst2010]

What kind of jack is that?

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Its called a Porta Power

[@zmurray9499]

I am all about saving original vehicles. It’s amazing what you can do with hammers and blocks of wood. Original is much more interesting than restored to me. It’s a fine line though, knock that big stuff out👍

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Very true!

[@tjwonder8157]

So. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it kind of looks like you are shrinking the metal back down during this process!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

To some extent the metal is shrinking, but because of the amount it was stretched by the dent it will probably need to be shrunken more with sone heat before it's perfect

[@rustyshackleford3320]

What i do is pray for the dent to get well... I have a lot of dents

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

LOL

[@gasratzcustoms]

Good tips! Thank you

[@adriantomlin2902]

Hey Dave!! Must be a California truck!! No rust on top of all those dents and dings??!! Lucky ducky!! Lol!!

I wish someone would make a complete door or complete skin for 60 to 63 trucks

Someday!

[@SemtêxČØŴv2.0]

Dave sweating his tits off. Lemme show you what I’ve done in 45 minutes. Thanks Brothers for putting up these videos that aren’t even selling a product.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks for always watching!

[@marksommers6764]

That's NOT A rubber mallet .. it's a dead blow or solid/rawhide mallet .. just saying . Thanks for showing us old school(sic) skills . A very good Production . Maybe you could demonstrate the Peck and File method in a future video !

[@Butch-fn2xr]

I think air bags would be much better than a Porto power

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

The great thing about a repair like this is that you can get creative with whatever you have available to you.

His movements remind me of George Mcfly. Great vid though.

[@salnunez6899]

[@jamesblocker5235]

Use some heat would really help out

Nope, Dave has lots of experience, but sometimes even with all that experience there is some experimenting!
