IN THIS VIDEO WE REMOVE THE LIFT AXLE FOM THE OTHER TRUCK. WE HAVE NAMED THE OTHER TRUCK "SOUP SANDWICH"....WHAT A MESS. AS WE REMOVE THE LIFT AXLE A WELD ACTUALLY FALLS OFF THE TRUCK! WE THEN TEAR THE AXLE APART TO INPSECT ITS CONDITION. JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ON THESE TRUCKS, IT IS WORN OUT, IMPROPERLY REPAIRED OR NEGLECTED. SO TIRED OF THIS JUNK....WE JUST WANT TO QUIT. I GET ALL THE PARTS ORDERED. THEN WE MOVE ON TO TIRES. IT GETS 8 NEW DRIVE TIRES. WE INSTALL THEM ON THE DAYTON HUBS AND CENTER THEM. SET THE RIDE HEIGHT AND START TO GET HTE DRIVESHAFT INSTALLED.....BUT WAIT! THERE IS MORE! THE DRIVE SHAFT YOKE IS WORN OUT AND HAS NO THREADS IN TWO OF THE BEARING CAP RETAINER BOLT HOLES! PERFECT!! ANOTHER DELAY AND MORE MONEY!
SO CLOSE. YET SO FAR....

You're great at making crazy death traps into honest, hard-working, respectful trucks. Also, your camera woman is on point.

@ObieStarr Год назад

Thank you for showing how difficult it is to properly stretch out a frame and replace all the worn parts. It is also nice to see you have sown how bad other individuals shortcut and butcher a frame job. That is one of the worst frames I've ever seen that you took the drop axle off of. Please keep making these videos.

@lawrenceashworth7668 Год назад

You do better frame work than most professional shops. Plus I’m always impressed at the attention you pay to the little details!

You need a tire cage. Yes I know those are not split rims, but in my time mounting truck tires I had about one new recap a week that would blow out while airing it up. Just saying I don't want to see you hurt. You do nice work.

I am amazed at every project you build. Your like a modern day Dr. Frankenstein. You take rusty, worn out, and broken parts that no one would look at twice and assemble them into useful, working trucks. It shows that with a lifetime of knowledge, money and drive anything can be accomplished.

Huge learning curve for me watching this video. I may need to get that angle measure tool. Eye sight is not the best way to judge the angle of the drive shaft. You did really a good job by starting getting rid of all the hackery and doing it right. Explaining things along the way helps to understand why you can't cut corners.

The best choice the owner ever made was takimg that heap to JC Smith for tail lights

@evil_me Год назад

As a long time tech, recaps are fine if you check the air in the tires regularly, and don't run heavy haul. Stupidity of drivers is the primary cause of losing caps off tires.

@samrodian919 Год назад

Here in the UK we call that sort of welding "Pigeon Shit" lol. The worst welding I've ever seen on a vehicle of any sort! That bearing pre load was far too tight. There is something wrong with that spacer. Maybe the idiot who did the work ground a bit off of it lol I'd check manufacturers of hubs specs for the spacer dimensions. Personally I would have changed the hub bearings but, hey I used to love spending customers money lol Your explanation of the prop shaft geometry was absolutely excellent. I don't think that could have been explained better anywhere!

My very first years of wanting to be a truck driver meant starting for companies that had troubles getting a driver for their junk on the road and this soup can reminds me of it.. like they say, I've been to two county fairs and three carnivals.. but this beats anything I have seen before. I wonder if the guy who did this carnivore kind of work could pass a drug test ... even tho the first guy i did drive for was poor, and I mean really poor, that junk of his was new compare to this kind of accident just waiting

@OhCanada1867 Год назад

I just discovered this series so i havent watched all the videos.When stretching a truck frame the steering arms usually need to be changed to give proper steering geometry. The arm on the spindle that the drag link and the tie rod ends attach to. The reason is if they are not the right arms for the frame length the steering tires will not be in sync and will fight each other.

@codyfoster7981 Год назад

Chop that junk frame into foot long sections and let a local blacksmith make some knives from those frame bits. So something useful can be made from the junk. Chopping it up makes sure it can't somehow make its way back under a cab to be on the road again.

@williamdavidson9009 Год назад

Presumably the owner is working on a budget or he wouldn't be dealing with an older truck. However when you compare the repairs to the cost of a new truck he will be ahead. Once the problems are fixed correctly this truck will probably be more reliable than a brand new truck
