The best truck shop for Truck Restoration and Frame Extension in South Texas!!!

Truck restoration - Truck restoration includes bringing a classic, vintage, or antique truck up to date for a variety of reasons, including being able to drive it safely, competing in a show, or displaying it as part of a collection. The vehicle will be restored to its original appearance with as many original parts as possible, as well as some modern modifications for safety and comfort, during the restoration process. It is possible that the repair process will take up to 1,000 hours to complete. With all of the obligations and demands of daily life, this usually equates to around two years of employment. Here's what to expect at each stage of the restoration.

Here's what to expect at each stage of the restoration :

The Research Phase -

We make sure we thoroughly investigate your project before getting started at our truck restoration and repair shop. We determine the simplicity with which the necessary parts can be found, and create a timeline and budget ahead of time. This is especially significant if your truck is a unique model. Then, decide on the type of restoration you want to do. A full body of restoration may be recommended if you wish to make your vehicle competition-ready or if it is in terrible condition. Trucks in decent condition that are not intended for competition may be acceptable for a semi-restoration, which does not remove the engine.

Removing and Organizing Parts -

Begin disassembling the truck until we reach the frame, then we remove the cargo box, which should be sanded and painted at a restoration shop. We remove the cab's glass, doors, and trim, then sandpaper it. If necessary, we remove the engine using an engine jack.

Fixing Dents and Other Damage -

We examine the truck's body for any spots that have been dented or otherwise damaged. Depending on the severity of the damage, we can remove the dents and do minor repairs. Dents in car doors and roofs with creases can be more difficult to remove, although dents in the trunk, hood, and panels are easier to remove, depending on their particular location.

Restoring the Truck Bed -

The beds of many pickup vehicles are rotten or rusty and must be replaced. In most situations, this requires removing all corroded portions, applying a rust inhibitor to the liner panel, and welding new steel in place. After that, the bed can be painted with a primer, a skim coat, and the final color. For more severe damage, the frame may need to be blasted down to bare metal and new cross members welded in before priming and painting.

Upgrading the Transmission -

Your truck can run like a modern vehicle with an improved transmission. However, because this process varies depending on the kind of your truck and whether it has all-wheel drive or not, it might be tough to complete on your own. Transmissions are also heavy and unpleasant to work with, so a professional who has worked with them before will be more able to do so. If you decide that your truck's gearbox needs to be upgraded, it may be better to enlist the services of a specialist and take the transmission and back axle to our truck restoration shop. If you're determined to go it alone, rebuilding the transmission with new parts may be a better alternative because it employs existing structures and parts. To rebuild your transmission, we will take it out of the automobile, perform the necessary repairs, and reinstall it safely.

Replacing Parts and Repainting -

Finally, the brakes, wiring harness, headliner, seating, cab glass, lamps, door handles, front grille, and any other items that need to be replaced can be done. Not everything will need to be replaced, and you may be able to reuse some of the original pieces. To complete your newly rebuilt truck, sand it down to remove all of the paint, then add a fresh layer of primer and paint in your selected color.
