Ford F150 Rusted Frame FIXED!!!

[@TheChillje]

So refreshing to see real MEN doing good shit to help those of us needing advice. I’m a fan and thanks bro🤙🏻

[@shawnsheppard1447]

Cut the bottom of the frame off and clean and seal the inside. Also, put some paint or rust converter on the frame that is covered. Also wouldn't hurt to take the bed off. You could really get to all the rot. Might take a weekend and a bunch of product but you wouldn't have to mess with it for a long time.

I followed up with fluid film and that was 3 years ago. There was a TSB also on the oil pan and to fix that the engine has to be removed! Great video, Thank You!

Frames and unit bodies collect sand and dirt that stays wet . If you take the time each spring or two to clean out that dirt and oil the frame you won't have this issue. Doesn't matter what make , all can have this happen with the right conditions over time.

[@asuarezjd]

I appreciate the video, I truly do, and perhaps is because I may be a bit OCD, but it would drive me nuts knowing I left that mess underneath! A chisel hammer or even just a hammer because is a small area to at least take the nasty rust flakes off, and at least, if I not able to remove or cut off the absolute rusted parts, use a $20 Rust Converter, like Corroseal or Rust Kutter, is milky and liquid and in 24 hours that rust is chemically turned from iron oxide to a stable inert black metal, like when you blue a gun barrel, and it would not continue to creep up the interior frame. THEN, push in the frame sleeve, which a $5 Rustoleum black spray from Walmart and some weep holes before installing would further protect it.

@@InTheShop - the last couple were a plastic pick-up foot for a diesel truck that softened and fell off the tube inside the tank, of course that was a couple hours on the re-do. Before that, a oil cooler for a 6L Ford. The gasket (seal) failed after a couple of months, crumbled to pieces which got in the oil. That cooler is under the intake manifold on that one so the top of the engine came back apart down to the heads. Many hours of work. Before that misc electrical parts of poor quality but often related to the plastic on the part like the connectors.

There's a small hole in the bed, some rot up at various weld joining spots, bed cross supports are in bad shape (another cheap LMC truck fix), but the frame from what I can see is in pretty good condition. For inside my frame I'm putting together a media blasting bit I can run back and forth inside. Blast as much rust out as I can, clear it out with compressed air and solvent, then seal the inside of the frame after doing some more research and finding the best option. The rattle can rust converter/protector seems really soft and easily damaged to me.

Fluid film or wool wax is a yearly application around here. I didn’t put anything on the frame first because I value my health more than the minimal amount a weld through primer would help slow the rust.

I saw the condition of the frame of the f150 you worked on and the frame on my truck I would say that it was pretty much the same condition and it's the bottom lower part of the frame, pretty similar condition. I love my truck and I've had no issues other than normal where and tear. If I could save it that would be really awesome.

Hey man, I need to get this done on my truck. Do you have a shop, and if so can I ask where you're located in the chance that you're close to me?

[@troywuestefeld2893]

How long will this preserve the truck?

[@Nobody72472]

Do they make these for 2010 f150 stx

[@tonyditmer6604]

Do they make them for 2001 f150. I looked and can't find them.

[@Saby22]

Salut je suis du Canada comment s’appel ce produit pour commander merci

[@BigDaddy-jm8wz]

Bro where you located so I can bring my Ford f150 truck to you so you can fix it... has rust on both sides of bk doors on the bottom panels... body shop stupid crazy prices lol

[@charlesthompson8351]

I have a 2006 ford 4 wheel drive wife got it when brother committed suicide wish I could find good help like you

[@paragodful]

You think I could tackle something like this with the harborfreight titanium easy flux 125 welder?

[@InTheShop]

I don’t think so.

[@paragodful]

@@InTheShop thanks unfortunately that’s the only welder I have

[@pistonring8]

That 125 amp flux core welder is actually rated to penetrate this 1/8" slip on. It just doesn't have the duty cycle to do it all in one shot.

[@intotheadventure2592]

You should be able to as long as ur ok at welding

[@bwagenberg]

How does it provide strength.?

[@adrew1963]

do you know by chance if that would pass NY state Inspection

[@InTheShop]

I’m not sure. You would have to check with your state inspection station. Some states allow this some don’t.

[@manuelmorocho9328]

God jop which state its the shop please

[@TileNation]

Great video

[@InTheShop]

Thanks!

[@romelloturner1973]

Does anybody know if they have these for 1999 f250? Or something similar? My frame is pretty damn rusted out would love something like this

[@tjs_welding_and_fabrication]

Needs a few more drain holes in that cap.

[@huckfin1598]

How much would you charge for this repair?

[@W1RMD]

Thanks!

[@bigmurph1447]

Should of cut the bottom of the frame off before welding on the patch than drilled some drain holes in the patch

[@InTheShop]

The bottom of the patch has drain holes in it.

[@coolphil881]

Well I wish I could get the frame on my dads Ford fixed it’s an 05 but it’s too much money it breaks my heart cause he just past away and I wanted to Keep it so bad but the frame is so bad all round and all I can think is to do is get rid of it but I really don’t want to but it’s unsafe for the baby and all

[@JuanRodriguez-ki4to]

How thick is the metal

[@M98-j9k]

On a quiet night in the country, you can hear a Ford rust
