Dave was one of the first "Tipsters " I found on You Tube to help me with my '50 Chevy 3100. I think he was working out of his one car garage at home. 👍😁 The guy knows a ton of good resurrection info.

Thanks for watching Drew!

[@darylphillips1699]

I appreciate the great tips!

[@FastasFox35]

Step #1 stop watching KZbin and get off the couch. Lol. That's my hardest problem of the job

[@robertlambert5299]

Dave’s got cool hair. I wish I had Dave’s hair. Good vid Dave. I do like the carpet hole trick.

[@paulking6404]

Hey Dave, I REALLY enjoy and appreciate your video's and the Tech Tips. Especially since I'm currently restoring our '65 C10. Just finished watching your rock panel replacement video's since that's what I'm currently working on. Thanks Brother and Brother's Truck Parts. I'm hoping to be ordering a ton during project if the prices match up. I'm on a fixed income so it ain't easy..

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Paul, you're really going to like the Video Series we have coming out where we are Shortening/Ls Swapping and Dropping a '65 C10 like yours. Keep an eye out in the next month or so.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV I'm also Interested in the body work once the fabrication is done. I've watched SO many different techniques for body filler, sealer, 2K apoxy and what an when to use each. It makes my head hurt LOL

[@SimonTekConley]

Okay, the carpet hole trick was worth this video

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Right on!

Great tips and details how to get your truck roadworthy, safe and stylish! Thanks David, see you next Tuesday!

[@deankay4434]

Lots of good tips Dave. They will save time and damage. Hand Impacts are very reasonably priced now and the are hit with a hammer, forcing the bit into a rusty screw. An over tightened screw may disfigure the sheet metal hole, tapping the metal just below flush with a punch & hammer May allow the correct screw to tighten. Don't forget electrical contact cleaner, old tooth brush and small amounts of dielectric grease keeps electrical problems away. DK, ASE Master retired. Thanks Dave for the great tips keeping them on the road!

[@ODGColornChrome]

The hole in the carpet trick is awesome! Never seen that before!

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Just one of many Dave has!

[@derekormsby798]

Oh man, that carpet one is the best! wish I'd known that one when I did the carpet in my Kingswood lol

[@robertmyers1644]

Dave, I watch all your vids I havent seen anything on pinion offset, question-3100 original frame GM 8.5 10 bolt TH400 transmission. Small Block Chevy. Mustang ll IFS The rear end has a 1/2 inch offset to the passenger side. The transmission mount and the motor mounts will center the trans, and engine in the frame. Are you refabricating the trans. cross member mount and engine mounts to the passenger side to achieve the pinion offset or moving the rear end to the drivers side to center the entire drive line in the frame.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Honestly, we just leave the offset and let the U-Joints do the work.

[@armandgagliardi]

Hi Dave. Thank you for all your help and wisdom. Your videos have saved me countless headaches! I have a quick question for you. What are your thoughts on weld through primer? Do you use it? Thank you for your time and help. AJ

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Absolutely use it! We use it all the time.

[@adriantomlin2902]

Plenty if nice tips and tricks Dave Welch! Its definitely good info when you encounter these snags in your restoration. Awesome 👍😎

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks 👍

[@ericjswindle]

Very cool stuff. I’d like to add a couple of things: when you are sanding, use a wire brush on your paper periodically to keep it from clogging and you will get more mileage from each sheet of paper. Also a piece of pipe or an old junk socket that is sharpened on one end and then heated will make that trick work that much better.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

Thanks for the info!

Best way to cut rope is to put a wrap of electrical tape on where you’re cutting and cut in the middle of the tape. Nice clean ends when you cut
