Custom Firewall & Extreme Rust Repair for LS Swapped C10 - Bagged 1972 Chevy Truck

Check out the latest merch at www.salvagetosavage.com
Last episode, you saw us tear down what looked like a pristine 1972 Chevy C10. Well once we peeled back that outer layer we found a whole ton of problem rust that we had to cut out. So now we have a Chevy cab full of holes that need to be plugged up. The biggest holes in this C10 though are the floor and the firewall! The floor is the easy part. We got an entire replacement floor from Auto Metal Direct. The firewall though? Not as simple. It's going to take a lot of templating, cutting, and mocking up to get a new clean background to our engine bay. But by the end of the episode, we have all of our major just spots removed, we have a custom bead rolled firewall and we're ready to start building a transmission tunnel for our 1972 bagged and supercharged LS C10!

These longer format videos are great, also no fake drama and they're a joy to relax and watch. Keep up the good work!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We try our best to keep our focus on the builds! Glad to hear you like the longer videos too! We got some more good ones coming out soon!

[@MrTbone1113]

This episode had a TON of work in it! Keep kicking ass!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We gotta get this baby ready to head to Arizona in November so we gotta be cranking down on it!

[@derangd3339]

Nice metal work. Especially paying attention to all the small rust and fixing it. Keep them vids coming.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Keep coming back to watch and we'll keep cranking them out!

[@fishpony1211]

Damn that was a LOT more work then i would have expected from such a clean looking truck. U guys did some great work there.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's always the clean looking ones that give you the biggest headaches!

[@willemp6432]

I watch lots of car build stuff on UTube and this is some of the best work out there. a Big like from me as always.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Wow!! Thank you so much! That means a whole ton to the team here!

[@NeverLetOff]

Such a killer build! Your sheet metal work is so amazing! Keep it up!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Wow! Thank you!!

[@lukesmotorshop]

Love the detail you put into it! And the explanation of each step!!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Glad you like the content!

[@SomeBoredGuy69]

Love the fact that you give us a PROPER episode each time. That was a lot of progress in 1 video. Nice! 👍

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We try our best! We don't want you sitting through a half hour episode and not see us get anything done!

[@jeremystiltner6781]

Im always blown away by your builds. Your channel has become one of my favorites to watch. 👍

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Wow! We can't tell you how much we appreciate that comment!

[@__Lurch__]

It will never cease to amaze me seeing what appears to be a perfectly restored, rust-free piece only to later reveal it's horrors within.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

There's a whole ton of cracks and crevices to these trucks. You never really know until you start cutting away!

[@Jusdin057]

You guys are powering through this, ❤ loved the LS motor sitting in that chassis. Im so keen to see the build done but also dont want it to be over as I enjoy watching it.

Another great video Mikey, alot of fabrication on the C10 , the fire wall looked " AWSOME " 👌

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks 👍 Glad you're liking the build so far!

[@PowerHousePerformanceLLC]

Best videos I've seen on KZbin in a long time. These rust repair videos sometimes make me miss being a body man in New England but then I really think about it and realize it's not that fun lol. Keep up the great videos and builds.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's only fun when you see it done in hyper speed! lol

[@GabaranRickshaw]

1972 Chevy C10, well at least the VIN plate is from 1972. The rest of it, is a little newer. ;)

[@flavioaredes9550]

Pra que falar tanto só mostra serviço parece está mastigando clichete

[@onemansvideos2134]

Surprised with the amount of these you do that you haven't designed a whole smooth cowl to put on these instead of patch panels and to sell on the market for others that are doing the same

[@SalvagetoSavage]

There are companies like AMD who have the ability to manufacture parts like that in bulk and would be much better suited for that task. Also, for parts like the cowl, it's hard to know how much will be rotted out and how much actually would need to be removed, so for us, it's almost easier to keep as much of the original truck as possible and patch in what we need to be repaired!

[@onemansvideos2134]

@@SalvagetoSavage good point

[@serhiyUman]

enjoyable video, nice done. Hope to see cutted part tranmition tunnel from recieved floor on top of new transmition tunnel. i think it will fit and look perfect. Anyway amazing work. You should upgrade you name to S2S Factory 😅. See you. Good luck!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

The transmission tunnel is going to be the next episode! So you'll get to find out! Glad you like the video!

[@robertrusso877]

Dime bagged, lol! Loving this series because I have a lot of the same rust issues on my ‘69 and now I know what I’m up against. Great work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Glad you liked the episode! It's definitely stuff that could have survived a little while longer, but it just didn't make sense to address the issues while the truck is apart!

[@rona1144]

The shiny paint was hiding ugliness. Better not to trust the last guy and blast it clean from the beginning. It becomes very obvious where all the repairs and replacements must be made. Live and learn. Like the changes!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Definitely! The hard part about this one is that not everything is getting cut into and not all that paint is getting stripped off. So it's a balance between cutting it all out and finding other ways to mitigate those issues so they're not headaches in the future!

[@LuisRamirez-ts3rp]

My savages I’m looking forward to seeing this build

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Are you going to be out at Dinos in Arizona this November?

[@probablypat703]

and just like that, a truck build for myself is out of the question lol...great work guys my goodness

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Definitely not out of the question! We just had to cut so far into the floor because we're sitting this C10 down on the frame. We're also taking some extra steps to make sure these rust spots aren't headaches for the customer further down the line. If we were doing a build for ourselves, there are things (like that cowl) that could be left alone for a little and be addressed further down the line!

[@UncleManuel]

Holy sheetmetal, this cab needed A LOT of work with all these rustholes! 😲

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're surprised there was any cab left!

@@SalvagetoSavage definitely enjoy your content. The builds are always impressive. Your shop does some great builds. Most of the body work that I do tends to be with street signs and license plates. Definitely not on the same level. I see a rust hole and just figure out how to fill it. It seems that people with your skills see the shape of the metal before the rust ate it.

[@Thejunkyard417]

What gauge sheet metal are you using to repair the inner cowl? I have the same issue with my 72 GMC. Thanks

[@kodak_jack]

The next time you guys do an LS engine, because it’s probably too late to do this one, have Andrew go through the fuse block, the computer and the software he has to deal with to get it running. Anybody going to an LS would appreciate it. If you’re going with a coil pack relocation kit, show that too. Thanks.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Great idea! We're going to go a bit in to depth on what we're doing to get the ECU powered up and working with the rest of our wiring. That won't be for a little bit though cause we still got a ton of fab work to do on this!

[@quick455]

Love these second gen trucks. We just sold a 69 GMC down at Barrett New Orleans. We're doing a 70 Chevy on a RS Slam Spec LSA/6l80 now and had to a custom tunnel as well. They're big transmissions but worth it.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

That's awesome! Are you taking it out to Dinos this year?

[@shanethompson7543]

Another kick ass Video 👊👊👊

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!!

[@Siyadlams]

Just as I thought, there was more rust underneath. Is there a weld-through primer that is used on the metal that is sandwiched in between, or you're not worried about it rusting? Some serious skills were on display in this episode.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We sanded down as much of the rust as possible, and everything that gets boxed in usually gets hit with a rust inhibitor or weld through primer to make sure that rust doesn't spread. Thanks so much for always supporting the channel!

[@joesilvasr9733]

I can already see myself swearing and tossing misshapen pieces of sheet metal on the shop floor. Recreating that cowl from scratch is tremendously challenging. You guys rock 💪

It's so funny - when that truck first came in I was kinda upset about the modifications you had planned. I thought, why are they cutting up such pristine example of a truck, lol! But man, the more you have gotten into this build, and now that you've rebuilt and repaired basically half the cab - I've really changed my tune, LOL ;-) Nice work, it's going to be an awesome ride when you guys are finished 🙂

[@SalvagetoSavage]

That's always the biggest issue with building these trucks. The more you pull off of them the more you realize how much metal work it's going to take to make it all right again!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

It kinda sucks that there was so much rust repair to do, but you guys handled it like champs. I think that rust might have been planted there just so you guys could flex your 'rust repair skills'!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

I think our customer would have preferred if we didn't have to do all that rust repair work! lol
