Double Dually 1.5 Ton Chevy Mutt Truck Off-Road! 

Your channel reminds me so much of when my father in law was alive, and he had a shpo much like yours. He was retired and new everyone in west Texas, so he was always dragging in wierd projects to work on. We sure had a lots of fun and I miss him a bunch. Thanks for the fun projects, and the logo "If you're not having fun you're doing it wrong". That fits life perfectly.

Love this channel. I love how you’re able to do things cheaply, but not cut corners.

I love this channel 'cause you work on the coolest vehicles on RU-vid. Thanks!

Thank you for your genuine nature, approach to your work, and entertaining content. I have enjoyed every video upon stumbling across your channel.

Hi, so jealous of all you have over there. Project vehicles, workshops, spaces to go, weather and the time. From a cold wet, busy , expensive UK. Many thanks love your sense of humour .

Suggestion: Could you raise the pressure in the forward/inner tyres to, for example 45psi? And lower the pressure in the outside tires to 8 psi for example. Maybe the steering will be a lot easier on pavement, since the weight is (mostly) carried on the higher inside tyres. In soft sand the outside wheels start to help floatation.

Good job on that windshield! I was not about to mess with it on my '46, (I think it is the exact same windshield maybe), something I figured best left to the professionals instead of my gorilla mitts. 😆

Up until watching this video, my favorite old truck was Stubby Bob, but that's a Ford, even if it does have a blown Chevy engine. Thank you for making the universe make sense again! Really enjoy the work you do.

I drove a G506, not unlike yours, one Summer about 42 years ago collecting firewood and rebuilding fence on a ranch in western Texas. There were times I enjoyed it but as a work truck it did a great job working over anyone that had to drive it. This brought back some nostalgia. Thanks

What a fun truck! My grandfather taught me to drive in a 1952 Dodge Powerwagon. It only had single front wheels but was a bear to steer. I can only imagine how huch work it is with two extra tires. There was a good reason for the huge steering wheel.

My Dad was a WWII veteran, served in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. He was primarily in maintenance, but in the Armys infinite wisdom, was also a cook. He and his buddies would get together at our cabin, drink beer, and bullshit, telling the more stories as the beer flowed. I soaked it up like a sponge. One thing that seemed constant, is that to keep moving, they would adapt and improvise everything, as you do. Later, I worked at the big national Guard base where Dad and many did that he served with. Not much changed, as the they worked on late war equipment, Korean up to more modern (Vietnam era), and has you might imagine, a similar hodgepodge of parts. I was in hotrod nirvana, learning, listening and driving every manner of military stuff I could! Had a military license that enabled me, a 16 year old civilian kid, to drive forklifts, jeeps, 151, trucks and such up to 5 ton. My testing? My boss, Sergeant Gammon, asked his boss Major Borgstrom to get a license "for the kid"! Had on next day! You would have fit right in with them! High praise. Best job I ever had! Almost enlisted, except for the idea of having to spend time in SE Asia. Thanks for envoking those memories. Now this old guy has to find an old Mb or CJ tub to play with before I leave!

I enjoy dry Humor and matter fact common sense approach to your work and the fact you can do most anything ,Ya gotta love the steering gear box wonder ,Love the tach bounce .

Reminds me of the 1940 Chevy 1/2 ton pick up my dad gave me back in 1980, it stuck out in the high-school parking lot. Great video.

That would make an awesome crawler! Nice Job!

Thank you for your time mate, really enjoying the things you do. You always seem to do the oddest things to equipment but it suits what you want from it and that's what matters. There's always a way around things you only have to look at it for a while, idea's will come. What's next?

I'm glad the light company is still treating you well. Nice to have a replacement sent out quickly. Happy that you're getting time to wrench on your truck. Enjoyed the video very much James! 🙂👍 Keep at it and be safe 🔧🔩

I cannot believe the windscreen did break... good job.

Big respect for picking up the trash, always try and leave a place better than you found it.

This rig is so cool! Also love your mentality when it comes to fixing things! :D

While checking oil maybe should look at the front steering knuckles too. Cool truck reminds me of some of the old military trucks I played with back in the day. Thanks for the video!

You have to admit you love that truck! It’s got oodles of character. Just like you.👍 you might want to check that loose nut behind the wheel! Lol

You're quite the daredevil, bombing along at those breakneck speeds. Truly a wild man.

I was stationed at Ft Hood in 98 at 1-7 Cav. They had duece and a halves. I remember busting my knuckles and fingers on the manual steering. The steering wheel was steel coated in hard plastic very similar to yours. I remember grinding those gears so bad when I was learning to drive them. I got pretty good after a few months. We got LMTVs in 99 or 00 and I was glad to to those old trucks go.

Being a former munitions (AMMO) USAF troop, I liked the yellow "live" stripe on those bomb lights. What an awesome truck, duels all around, beyond KOOL!

I love the drain holes in the door....perfect!

Heck yeah what a surprise wondering what you was going to do with it appreciate you and the way u explain what ur doing on projects makes it more entertaining and enjoyable watching

I used to run a Mac model R, seeing you wrestle with the handling on that truck immediately brought back the feeling of driving that thing

Man this thing has really turned into a proper rig ! Just enough corner cutting to make it interesting haha. I wish i had a big sandy playground like that near where i live.

Betsy the Bomb-Truck gets hills done in her own sweet time... I am so glad you decided to keep the yellow and rust effect. Frankly, you should seal it in, with a coat of clear, so you don't lose any of that gorgeous character.

I once had a 56 buick that had so many inches of play in the steering wheel… so yes, I took it on the freeway to see if she’d do 💯. I was 17 got lucky and lived to tell the tale

Even when new, I'm not sure this truck was built for comfort. Keep up with your projects. Great fun!

Great job on getting her up and running. I am sure that there is more to tweak but you got her running. Thanks for the video. I have never seen a truck like that before. Thanks for saving this piece of history.

That thing does amazing in the sand! If you only had 2 wheels in front it would've dug in and been stuck immediately! That thing is sick!

When you were refilling the front axle with gear oil,it looked like the axle knuckle was really dry,that will add a bunch of steering resistance. Could be the previous owners tightened up the wipe seals on the axle ends to mitigate oil loss, but cranked them up too tightly. I seem to remember an older gentleman saying that he used leather for the seal material, and it was fairly thick,like 3/8" or so,and the knuckles also have grease fittings top and bottom. Don't know if the steering box is completely worn out,but it definitely could use some adjustments, considering how far you have to saw the steering wheel side to side to stay on the road.Catch you on your next adventure!😎😎😎

Those old WWII trucks were built to handle anything. Not very fast, but tons of power and excellent in less than good Terrain. Love your bomb truck

It's brilliant. I discovered your channel a little while ago and have been binge watching for the last few days. Excellent videos and very enjoyable to watch you conjure amazing things out of worn out machines. 👍😊

Awesome! That should be in Matt's offroad wrecker games

You absolutely have to love the steadily growing pool of fluid running down the hill beneath the truck during your closing speech. This vehicle has so much character!

Man I wish I lived in a country where the climate was dry, all the good old stuff like this dissolved in the rain years ago.

I love this truck. What a treat. Congrats!

Recently found this channel thanks to the vintage Jeep video and I've now binged through this playlist Absolutely brilliant I feel like I've learnt a lot and have gotten to go on an adventure with Low Buck Garage

That exhaust stack is perfect for the Mutt

Just found your channel. Love it. Laughed at "Fosters, it's Australian for catch-can."

Nice to see you getting this sorted out, thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you for such great videos! And thanks for sharing this great truck!!

Loving this truck and to see it coming back. Concerned at 38:00 while parked on the hill it looked like a wet spot formed under and kept getting bigger running down the hill.

I did my service with the Air Force, that was in the 70's. In those days, all our vehicles, no matter what they were, were painted blue.

I love this truck, it's so nice to see you using it and having fun

That tachometer looks like you’re shifting in a fast and furious movie scene

I loved every second of this video. That truck handles the sand very well. I love the sound of the gears as it moves.

One of your best ones yet!

I love this channel 'cause you work on the coolest vehicles anywhere. Thanks!

🖐🏽Very good! Really enjoy watching the solutions you come up with... Kudos on pickin up the litter!

Really enjoyable great to see it all up and running.

I had a 1965 Chevy step side that was originally blue and whit(Air Force), then painted olive drab then primered. We stripped the paint down to the blue with oven cleaner and buffed it out.

Love your projects. Good work!

That truck is freaki ´n awesome - and your vibe n humour makes your vid´s perfect! Another great video, thank you.

I admire your tenacity and patience . 😊 Good Work !😊

There is something about that truck that just makes me smile. Nice.

Love this truck! It’s so unusual. Also love the ‘use something that fits’ philosophy! Great channel! Thank you

Dang just amazing in the sand! What a great build.

Brilliant as always .

Super cool Double Dually! It sure goes well in the soft stuff. Another great video. Thanks for sharing and keep it up!

love this channel, every video makes my day batter and your jokes are the best. KEEP IT UP

I'm kind of new to the channel. I've gone back and watched many of your videos and really enjoy them, this one especially. I've been driving trucks for over 40 years now

Nice job. I love the truck

Thanks for your uniqe style and vidioes . Good watching your work keep up the good work!!

Awesome build, this was the best

props to your personality and editing! something about your videos makes it impossible to fast forward\skip! Great content!

What a pile... You have to love something that, dependability exceeds the looks. There's a ton of room, for improvement. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you brother I appreciate the videos a good start the weekend

I’ve recently found your channel and I have to say that I really enjoy your style of presenting your videos. This truck is pretty damn cool and I love how things are coming along 👌🏻

You nailed it with the color change..

Works great. Nice build.235 great engine

Awesome truck 🧐 Great episode👍

10:50 shout out to the white Cadillac. What a rig. Hope to see that on the channel someday.

Because of the educational content, the vehicles and the dad jokes, these are great videos to drink beer to while watching!

Love your no fuss approach to working on the equipment.

Said it before & I’ll say it again Love this truck 👍

Love the channel reminds me of the stuff we used to do back on my grandparents farm, had to make due with what we had and as cheap as possible and had to keep the equipment up and going hated it at the time always having to fix something that was always breaking but I miiss those times and defiantly learn how to fix about anything lol. Love the old truck we had a old ww2 panel wagon that was a ambulance think it was a power wagon cant remember been along time and it was beat to death being a farm truck had the old flathead engine in it.

mint. Good to see it moving and being used Cheers Jim

New here and your editorials are the best!

Great fun! It will be even more fun on the road when you get the hang of double de-clutching all the gears ;-) I learned it a million or two years ago on an old Kenworth semi that had double 4 speeds, all un-synchronised! (1-1,2,3,4, shift to 2-1,2,3,4, shift to 3....etc. a Lot of work!)

love your truck

Every time you pull out your sawsall it makes me chuckle,you can’t beat a simple fix.bean that way since time began.😊

This was one of your most enjoyable videos, though I like them all. I have seen a lot of car/truck channels and I think yours is in my top three. I hope you prosper in subscriptions and views, but remain the same guy so many of us have come to appreciate.

really cool looking sand crawler!

I love this build ❤️

Awesome video! that truck is way too cool. I was wondering if you could show what you did to make the alternator work and how you wired the regulator. Thank you for sharing your projects with us. It makes the cold Canadian winter seem a bit warmer.

thats a cool old truck iooks like alot of fun i like watching you tackle the issues that arisethis is one of my favorite channels keep up thegood work i will keep watching

Awesome project...!

"Fosters: It's Australian for catch-can". I laughed out loud!!

Nice truck ! .. love the front duals..

Love the Channel, great stuff. Giving an old truck like that a new purpose, even if it's just to have some fun is satisfying. That oil leak at the end on the hill was concerning, but you were going to change the pan anyway, so that's fine.

Another great video. Thanks!!😄

Dude that truck is so cool

Good one! Brings back memories and makes me want to get in the Bronco and do likewise.

This channel’s a good find, love your attitude, truck, and humor - new sub - ❤️🇷🇴

I like this channel and the vehicles.

Straight outta MadMax! Love it!!
