Look, im addicted to this level of detail. But im gonna be honest, unless im sending that thing to Mecum, or Barret Jackson i dont have the patience for all this for a tailgate my kid is gonna slam a billion times 😂

[@StoutCustom]

If you slap that kid hard enough they won’t slam it a second time, lol. JK. Yeah, it turned out almost too nice for a daily. Definitely more of a show truck. I sold it and one thing that set it above most was the time spent inside the bed. Thanks for watching!

[@robh4822]

I love the talk about PPE and then in the very next shot he’s got his safety squints engaged.

[@StoutCustom]

Do as I say not as I do, lol. Thanks for watching!

At the dealer from 1976, we had no single use hearing protection, eye protection or gloves from stoddard solvent or our 55 gallon drum of 1-1-1 trycloraethylene that we used on aluminum and the occasional wart. Are warts supposed to wiggle? We where good. It is like what did you call 1970 sunscreen, you called dirt. Enough dirt, no sunburn! Easy. Easy,, I SAID EASY. DK, ASE Master Tech since 78.

My doctor told me I should quit smoking, but he smokes! Lol

@@deankay4434 things have certainly changed.

[@tcollier4017]

instead of naming the truck elbow greese you might have to change the name to chiropractor for all the adjusting you're gonna have to do putting that bed back together 😀. I'm here to watch every video. I'm sure it'll be fine

[@StoutCustom]

Yep. It’ll be fine, just fine. 😳 lol

[@austinsparks44]

yup that does it. im pulling my c10 bed back off and stripping to fix the right way after this. thanks for the updates and content

[@StoutCustom]

Don’t do it! It’s a trap! Too much work, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@williamcoiner6019]

you need to start working on some hot junk. That was way to easy to take that bed apart. It took me three weekends to get my 73 bed apart because it was a little rusty. Can't wait to see how you handle the cross member. I have to do that and some patching in the bed. I'm not going deal with the dents on the inside of my bed. Just Strip, Prime and Rhino Line. Looking Good, Thanks for the videos.

[@StoutCustom]

I wrestled with the bedliner idea. Really saves a lot of time and work. Also looks good but my bed is in decent shape so….more pain and suffering, lol. Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@jimbennett1519]

Well another great video from you and so much of your knowledge of this stuff you have given us. A light went off for me tonight watching,the main thing you have besides the know how,is patience and that is a trait that is so difficult for most of us to learn! I will try to change my ways, but no promises are given lol. Looking forward to the next one and that is a guarantee

[@StoutCustom]

I edit out all my lack of patience and anger issues, lol.

[@andrewpate9157]

Much appreciated, I’ll be taking my bed off and apart soon and you have probably save me a lot of time and headache… thanks brother and keep up the good work

[@StoutCustom]

Thanks Andrew and good luck on your truck!

[@nimblybimbly4002]

I'd be happy to watch a video on the rusty bed rail replacement. I bet there's a lot of guys with that task on their to-do list.

[@StoutCustom]

The new front brace came in today. Should be doing that shortly.

[@larrypugh9336]

I've done about 5 square bodies over the last few years and doing a second one for a guy I did one for last year at the moment and I'm about burnt out on squares for the moment my next one waiting is a 52 International pickup full show quality frame up then a 70 Chevelle full build I'm tired for a 59 year old 😂 Ready to Retire

[@StoutCustom]

I hear you. I will be over squares for a while when I get through with this one. I need to find something smaller to work on like Miatas, lol. I just hit 54. Not sure I will survive to 59 doing squarebodies, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@swims3505]

looking forward to seeing the bed cross sill replacement I've got 2 of em on my dad's 84 and then all 3 short ones to replace on it.

[@StoutCustom]

I hope to get it welded on soon. It’s pretty straight foreword

[@swims3505]

@@StoutCustom I forgot I was gonna ask where you found a replacement for them? I see lmc has them now and some o ebay?

[@StoutCustom]

@@swims3505 mine came from lmc.

[@johnbarr6616]

Been watching your vids for a while. Glad to see you back at it. I got the same bad habits of 67-72 and squares..... I’m about a week behind you on an 87 V20 I’m on for my youngest son Your doing exactly what I’ve done on the bed. I ran Imron 2.5HG on the interior of the bed and chromabase and premier cc on the exterior. Blocking the doors, cab and fenders for the first time after letting it set for a week.

[@StoutCustom]

I will probably go a similar route, single stage inside and base clear outside. Works well I think. Block on my friend and thanks for watching!

[@thabigghomie_]

Another 1 best channel every 👌🏽

[@StoutCustom]

Thank you!!

[@billywoods1093]

Very informative as always .

[@StoutCustom]

Thanks Billy. It’s all about sharing knowledge and learning as we go. Thanks for watching!

[@ODGColornChrome]

Awesome work and I feel your pain!!

[@StoutCustom]

Thank you and the pain is real, lol.

[@nimblybimbly4002]

So much good info!

[@StoutCustom]

Thanks!

[@sehendrix75]

If I was that far into the bed, I would look into the widened wheel well tubs and the corresponding bed floor that goes with them from AMD. Its a factory look but gives you more room! Love the video!

[@StoutCustom]

The thought crossed my mind but trying not to keep adding to the $$$. You know widened tubs=narrowed rear end, wider tires n wheels, 4 link,…etc, lol. Thanks for watching!

[@deankay4434]

Curt Robersons Garage just widen his in last video. I think he spliced extra metal while off. It is the older 67-72 C10 I think. DK, Omaha Jim, not trying to steal viewers, just help.

[@normgraham6658]

Did you move? I noticed in the last couple of videos that you're not in your old shop anymore. Trucks's coming together nicely.

[@StoutCustom]

I sold the house/shop a while back. Using the corner of a friends shop temporarily. Hope to build another at some point. Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@scottraper9574]

Took my bed completely apart as well. Way easier to work on for me.

[@StoutCustom]

My knees don’t tolerate crawling around inside a bed any more.

[@Jollysfirstbox]

9:25, bed disassembly begins

[@StoutCustom]

All part of it

[@1CHINTO1]

Sent an email for my c10 paint do you have a shop?

[@StoutCustom]

I looked and didn’t see an email yet but no, I don’t have a shop. I’m at a friends shop temporarily.
