Great to see a truck saved from the scrap yard. More and more old cars are going there. Some of them are still great cars but they are still scraped.

[@capeman10]

Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos.

[@RonnieGonzales520]

Truck is coming along nicely 👌

[@brianhume4743]

Nice work,just saying from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧 👌 👍

[@nomic1012]

Really enjoying your videos. I am restoring a pickup truck just like that, however it is a 2.2ltr diesel. suprisingly enough i have rust in the same places yours has/had. We call it toyota hilux (RN30 round head lights, rn40 square headlight) in my country :)

[@6thGearGarage]

I like "Hilux" better, but for some reason Toyota thought Americans would like "Pickup" better.

[@robertmaurer4229]

Should of used a 2k epoxy primer holds up way better then etch primer especially on rocker panels etc

[@6thGearGarage]

Yeah, I need to get some of that after I use up these cans of etching primer.

[@edrobinson1710]

Did you replace the rear floors also? Im currently trying to locate rear cab floors for my 1981 Pickup

[@edrobinson1710]

Ah, I see now you used left overs. I wish a company would sell body panels for these trucks

[@6thGearGarage]

Yeah, unfortunately I can't find anywhere that sells a complete floor panel

[@quetzalcoatul1]

GOOD WORK. IM TRYING TO DO MY FLOOR PANS. FIRST TIME EVER. WHAT SIZE WIRE YOU MIGGING WITH? .030"? AND HOW DO YOU SET UP THE WELDER. THIS ONE IS MY DADS FROM EASTWOOD.

[@6thGearGarage]

I'm using .025 wire and a lincoln sp135 mig. Check out this video for a closer look at my welder setup at 28:15: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnqrfIaGgNKhoMk

[@jimbo4014]

Did you guys ever get ln106 Hilux’s in America? Because I only ever see them with a ‘space cab’ with independent suspension.. just wondering?

[@6thGearGarage]

Nope :( The only ones here have been imported to the US under the "25+ years old" rule.

[@jimbo4014]

@@6thGearGarage ohhh I see, love the build mate 🇦🇺

[@mikedonnarumma5337]

more priceless information from 6th gear 👍🖖

Hi To be brief I accidentally drove with my emergency brake on for about 5-10 minutes going 35-45 miles per hour because I was going to a gas station and I smell burning .. What kind of consequences can I expect and if I do get my car check out and expect repairs what kind can I expect and will it be expensive ? I’m worried I damage my rear wheel area . Thank you sir
