PETERBILT 349 FRAME STRETCH PT2 BUILDING INSIDE LINERS OUT OF OLD TRUCK FRAME! 

Hello mister V see him this is J C I am retired and I enjoy your videos I enjoy watching your videos even though I would never do it but I enjoy watching you. God bless and have a great day.

Watching your videos is never a waste of time.

You have stepped up your game on this project! This old Pete will be light years ahead of the junker you are replacing!

Mr JC Thanks for another informative video. Stay safe

I love your opening disclaimer! BUT in no way am I wasting my time watching your videos, you are a great "entertainer".

I learned frame stretching, for the India truck channel! Lol

Your videos are not boring, I enjoy watching I learn stuff and I don't do that kind of work. Great videos.

Your disclaimer is funny. I understand why you say it, but still funny.

What a real privilege to have an expert welder come and give you proper quality training something that you have always wanted to do! Good luck and all the best with working with this gentleman!!

Not a waste of time for me I enjoy all you and your wife's videos

Fantastic work J.C! 🙂👍 Glad to hear about the welder and lessons. 🔧🔩

I woke up to waste my 30 min.....love it. Good thing you have your helper for the light work....

J.C. Smith that intro, lmao, love it bud. Keep up the good work.

U don't need to put urself down on ur videos I like ur videos of ur alot

I've never done a Frame Stretch before but I have put on Cranes & Beaver Tails etc (I'm from the UK) I do like to see how other People work & the problems they overcome-keep on with the good work 👍👍👍

Jc I'm not going to lie I probably have lots better to do but I will stop to watch your videos which are highly informative and show off your professionalism and how you and your wife work and what should be done

You do better work than most professional frame shops!

Great video J.C.Smith looking forward to your next video on this truck stay safe Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith

I was just remembering when I was just beginning to view your videos, you sounded a bit skeptical about cordless power tools, stating that you trusted your Snap on one’s. At least with my poor English. You came a long way since and praising your Milwaukee tools kkkkk great video and greetings from Brazil.

Excellent video

Can’t wait to see the next part of the series

You seem to really know what your doing and I agree with you telling people who do know enough to stay away from this kind of work and leave it to the professionals

Never a waste of time JC👍👍

Great video Mr.J.C., thank you. I really like Ur way of thinking & getting after it. Thx also for showing that saw, I need one of them.

I've always found your videos informative and also entertaining. And I look forward to them when you post them on RU-vid . You're building the trucks the best, and as safely as possible and I know that a budget is always a concern . Having a collection of parts trucks and a stash of other parts a plus too.

I would never try something like this but i like watching you do it. You’re very knowledgeable about it all.

I enjoy watching this kinda stuff thanks for the content👍

Great video bud .looking forward to your next video . I'm always learning while watching your videos Thanks for sharing

All your videos are entertaining yes but also very informative and educational I personally learn quite a bit from your knowledge sir keep up the great work

Like always j c awesome job, ur wife is pretty strong 💪

Very nice saw. Wish they would have had them when I was doing this stuff. Very nice work

Sweet! I love Peter Zila!

I love the disclaimer

All your videos are great what I seen so far. Never seen that millwaukee saw. But probably going to be the next toy I buy

Found a shop to do my frame, thanks to your video, I now know they do it right. They took me into the shop and explained the process

That truck frame is going to be built like a tank and that saw is impressive as heck. More stuff to add to the want list for sure!

Definitely interesting to see, a lot more goes into these then one would think

Nice work as always!

Best 1/2 hour I ever wasted!

I love these how-to videos you do. ❤❤

Thanks again for the great work love it

Nice work JC!

Awesome video J.C. you da man

The one thing I'm amazed every time is how you two manage to work on same project together. I'm trying to find something that will allow my wifey to join in on my junking ventures.

Lessons you teach us are great . Awesome work J.C . Great video .

8:09 can't beat a metal saw for cuts. When i got my first one (aaabout 2013ish) i was a bit scared to use it, on account of the forces involved, but once i got over my chicken self, it's my best cutting implement and go to tool. Better than plasma, better than arc, better than grinders. Best part, you can get a beam saw, do a little bit of modifications to the cooling and slap a chop saw blade inside, which makes cutting big stock a breeze. It's scary as, but it's really clean cuts all the way.

Awesome job Mr. J.C. Y'all take care.

Really nice to proper weld preps on the butt weld down the centre. Lovely job !😊

Looking really good JC can't wait to the next part

Looks good to me 👍

You always want a cross member where your splice for the stretch is going to be. You don't want the splice flexing. Just a friendly tip 10 year stretching and shortening frames. 🤙 greetings from Houston Tx love the content

You do great work and your videos are very informative and helpful. Keep up the great work.

Excellent video Mr. Smith..! Thank you sir.

Fantastic that Peter is coming to help with this and demo the HTP220 ProPulse welder. I just got one of those 4 months ago after wanting one since the 200 model was out and seeing Peter use that one. Still learning it so I know I will pick up a lot watching you two working on this project. Thanks so much for your videos as I always enjoy them.

Great job really respect how you explain your methods of how your stretching this frame and how particular you are about doing it to the best of your abilities. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing

I buy grinding disks (I mostly use flap disks) online or via my local welding supply. I ignore DeWalt and othe chain hardware store stuff. Quality flap disks like Norton are well worth the money. So are 6" thin kerf cutting discs for angle grinders ideal for cutting hardened steel. I never found a reason to run a grinding rock or especially the deadly flesh-eating knotted wire brush without a guard but cup knotted wire wheels and (small, so slow edge speed) flap discs are no issue. All my cutting discs get guards and I stay the hell out of plane of rotation. Complacency can hurt anyone and bleeding is embarrassing! If you need an assembly or parts blasted white a monument company is a great resource since they have towable compressors and blast pots for cutting names and dates on tombstones. I get truck and motorcycle frames and trailers blasted that way.

As always, thanks for the video. I’m stuck out in California waiting on a ship inbound from Japan. Ship got bumped and pickup has been pushed to Friday. I was so glad to see I get to start my day with part 2. Can’t wait for the lesson vid.

Great work this should be very strong and lady a loooong time

Looks like fun

Looking good.

Thanks heaps JC SMITH, I really look forward to your videos.

Awesome entertainment!!!

Jc great job of fixing a supply problem and if you would of had them made wouldn't have fit or super tight your probably better off doing it this way anyway could control upcoming problems before they arise

Cool stuff! I have the 110v flavor of that saw, it is quite amazing!

Great that you reminded people to seek professional assistance, too many dangerous modified vehicles through ignorance. We never stop learning until we push up the flowers…..

Love your vid's wishing that I could do the same, except my health doesn't allow it, so please carry on what you are doing and enjoying your experience and love for trucks

Its never a waste hanging out with JC

Coming along nicely,hope you are able to show some details on the welding

I don't know how you don't have more subscribers

Sure enjoy the video

Very interesting to see how much work actually goes into stretching a frame , that truck will be very strong once you are done and will last a very long time too

Mrs JC has some muscles

Very interesting, would have loved to be on-site to learn first hand, even as just a helper

Excellent and very informative video. I now know exactly what to not to do on my own. Thanks again

Some advice for future, plunge cut into the frss as me couple inches from each end and make both cuts. That will allow the frame to stay together and you can finish your cuts with a grinder. Seems to make it lil easier to work with for me.. love the vid

We pick your videos over a sitcom on TV!

😎👍

Great job, that saw is absolutely amazing. I'd like to see you do that key hole style sometime. I think your minds definitely in the right place. Great video

G'day JC.. I really enjoy your videos , but this one was a classic . Your level of skill is obvious, the quality of work you produced is very satisfying to this old marine engineer . Respect ...!

Looks great. This will be stronger than when it was new. Look forward to seeing more on the dual shield process. And you reminded me I need to order one of those saws. I was actually going to get one just before the end of the year as a extra write off but got busy and forgot...lol

I typically wind up doing a liner and a cap (probably overkill but better than underkill) then lay out wholes and bolt it all together like a battleship. Love the work man.

That’s an incredible amount of holes you had to drill, but it’ll all be worth it when it’s all finished up. Great work J.C. Looking forward to the next one👍

hello jc and mrs .smith and its is randy and i like u video is cool jc thanks jc friends randy and cool peterbilt 349 cool randy

You are LUCKY to have a WIFE that is in to trucking helping you Behind every wife is a working MAN BP NZ

“I tend to over do things” LOL No you do things the right way and made to last more then 5 minutes.

your videos arent horrible

Nice, I just spent four days in the hospital with pneumonia and come home to watch you take a saw blade to metal.,. quite unnerving to think about a saw blade that cuts like a razor. Thats some good stuff. I know about them but never ever got to try one. This is one tuff build but your the guy for the job... fine work JC

That looks like fun,,I'm gonna buy a truck like that and do what j c has done in the video,,,,,,thanks j c...

I don't think your welding leaves anything to be desired now but we will see what the expert can show you. Thanks for the video.

Great video, very thorough. Thanks for taking the time to show us your projects! Oh, have you ever used Ospho? Great stuff! Completely kills the rust! Works well for this frame work that will eventually be inaccessible!

"This is entertainment only, don't do what i'm about to do." Me: Taking notes on how to do it.

I weld together then cut out a diamond shape from butt up and welded spot . Cut out a diamond shape to insert then weld out . This increases weld area plus adds more angles to frame cut area . My certify is hy pressure boiler tube and pipe all the way to XXX main steam line . tig n stick . Also mechanical Engineering sciences degree . No sweat I’m just lookin over your shoulder on this .mgood to see how u young guys are dealing with this !

👍👌👏 I really hope that you will get the permission to film the professional welder showing new tricks and devices. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video of this series. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

Looks like you have these frame jobs down to a science in the order that works best for drilling and lining everything up. I've seen some zila welding videos yrs ago. I'm guessing he's going to run some type of dual shield wire similar to what I run. There's several types that I don't even know about, but I run e71t-1 .045 wire with standard 75/25 gas. Be interesting to see what he has up his sleeve... In my short time working in a fab shop we used a dual shield wire with CO2 gas but you couldn't weld vertical with it. It was a very fast and liquid wire though. That's where I originally learned about dual shield wire. If you tack weld a t joint with regular er70-6 mig wire and then do the same thing with a dual shield wire and hit both with a hammer to break the tack weld you'll find it takes a lot more to break the dual shield. I'm guessing the pulsed mig will help with the warping also, which might be an issue. Anyway cheers, I'll try to catch the next episode...

Great intro "Don't try this at home kids" You are going to have a ton of welding to do on that frame. Are you worried about those liners getting distorted from all the heat?

I buy all grinding disks from benchmark abrasives online good prices fast shipping top quality and made in muricrea

Freaking AWEOME! You are an Incredible Teacher, Thank you for sharing your Insights and Design SKILLS. BTW How often do you change the Batteries on that SAW?

Wassup

Jc if you was going to have frame rail inserts broke what kind of metal would you use to have them broke out of. Tia. I love your videos on your frame repairs.
