How to make a trunk floor out of a truck bed! (1969 Chevy Corvair/s10 chassis swap Part 11)

This project only made me cry twice. Please leave a like so I know my efforts were worth it.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Wow, I have received an overwhelming amount of positive comments. Thank you all so much! It definitely makes me feel like my efforts were worth it!

[@VtwinGuy5]

Every time you open that trunk you'll think about what it took to make and you'll get a sense of pride from it. Good job man! 👍

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

You know what, that’s a good point! Thank you for the kind words!

[@hoophil]

Hey Oliver! I made it to the end..... Cookie time! LOL. That turned out really good and can now see where you've been hiding since the last video. Yes lots of work! I can't imagine how many hour of welding you have into that trunk but it tuned out great! Love how you did the fuel filler pipe too, you sure are creative! Great job my friend!

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Thank you Don! Yes lots of hours welding! And the filler pipe was my favorite part because it turned out perfect!

[@danboutin8700]

Don’t give up !!! Every thing you do is learning how you can do it better next time!!! 👍🏻

[@frankielemonjello]

Slick project. Using a truck bed floor for floor is actually pretty ingenious. That would have solved some problems in a couple of problems in a couple of project cars I had decades ago. It's like once you see it, it's obvious.

[@bubblebaath7840]

glad you didn't give up on it, that shit looks so good

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

I’m glad I didn’t either, thank you for the support!

[@ericwilkes238]

I like it look like you have some nice storage compartments and you could put a carpet on it if you wanted to.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

I’m thinking about rhino lining it actually lol

[@ericwilkes238]

I welded up my gas door and moved it to the driver side quater pannel. Still working on gas tank.realy I joy watching your progress.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Are you going to weld a patch in to your fender so it looks like there was never a gas door there to begin with? Good luck with your wiring!

[@ericwilkes238]

@@pissedoffpistongarage yes I bought a mig welder and cut a patch to fill in the hole .I have an old 84 ford pick up I took the gas flap off of and used it for the patch.theirs a guy name fitzess that does body work and rebuilds cars on utub he shows how to do this but I found his vid after I bubbled gum mine.

@@ericwilkes238 ... yup, Fitzie's Fabrication (sp?) has some good stuff. Old school with no fancy tools, but perfection.

[@listenerjim]

Hey anything cool and different always takes time, I love the end result and you made it into space that can be used for much needed storage. Great job 👍

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

You bring up a good point. Thank you!

[@steel_team6923]

Honestly looks amazing even though it took forever.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Haha thank you! I’ll admit it looked pretty bad at first but once I painted it it turned out great!

[@jasoncooper3116]

Great job brother! I like it.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Thank you!!

[@matthewholthaus5776]

actually looks pretty good

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Thanks man, I agree. I’m not disappointed in it. Just upset it took so long lol

[@RIDGERUNNER3174]

I think it turned out pretty good.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Thank you! I think it will serve well as a trunk lol

[@rupe53]

everything you said was true... don't do it that way. OTOH, hours of hard work was a good teacher.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Yep, never again. I just wanted to maximize the most trunk space I could.

[@Nickos_Kustom_Shop]

Hey finally able to catch another vid

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Glad you could make it!

[@johnwhitehurst474]

Cut a hole in the frame, insert a piece of pipe weld it in and your gas lines run through it. Frame stabilized by the pipe being welded in place.

[@E.force89]

Good job dude keep the videos coming

[@epictigerhd3396]

cool s10

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

It was an s10 lol

[@bruceaitken3977]

Only way to get better , learn from mistakes !

[@snoopu2601]

Tip if you would have "CUT a GROVE" in the metal with the grinder you would have got a tighter bend.

[@angelcarrion7624]

I'm just washing to see what are you trying to do cuz you have me a bit confused 🤔 but yea I'm just going to see were you get to... GOOD LUCK LITTLE BROTHER

[@ericwilkes238]

I was thinking a bout putting some 67 chevell tail lights on my 65 wounderd what you thought how hard it would be.

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

That would be cool! I don’t think it would be too hard. It’s hard to say without having chevelle taillight to compare to a Corvair. I would probably buy a complete chevelle tail light panel and then splice it into the tail light section on the Corvair. That way you don’t have to custom make your tail light buckets.

[@mrmundy78]

good job, would rivets have been better/easier?

[@carsonkosier4010]

You should use carriage bolts with the round heads instead of regular bolts

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

Not that I’m arguing, but why do you say that? What are the benefits? Genuine question lol

[@carsonkosier4010]

@@pissedoffpistongarage just gives a better look and will blend in to the body Better than a hex head bolt at the bottom of the quarter panel but it is your car and if you like that style then run with it I was just giving my two cents worth LOL

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

@@carsonkosier4010 ohhhh I thought there was a scientific reason😂 I actually used the hex bolts cause I liked the looks over the carriage bolts😂

[@larryoren5928]

FYI, NEVER be a Quitter!

[@DanielRios-wi8vo]

Can you put your battery in the drop down space?

[@pissedoffpistongarage]

I was thinking about it. I’d like to keep the battery up front but I’m not opposed to petting it back there!

Hockey puck body mounts.... Buy boat rollers and cut to thickness you need. You need to watch Fit zees Customs he is a master at metal so Is Japhands, customs, youtube also, Carl fisher, Cut and buff with over lap how to make it fit perfect. Cut and Buff, Fitzee, Fitzee's fabrication you tube and carl plus a million other things,
