For not being a very big operation you have a great looking shop everything is kept in a professional manner that also includes your equipment Trevor seems to be very knowledgeable try keeping him around as long as possible and don't let one of the big mega carriers snatch him up.
You know thatMotor is a Good Tight Motor it didn’t roll over two Revolutions then fired up. 20 Degrees and Not Plugged in. That tell a Whole lot about your Company’s Maintenance Program.
only takes 8 to 10 hours to do a frame rail, just unbolt everything and slide it out the rear, no need to remove any body components, lots of jack stands. you can buy frame rails from kw or pete, dry ice blasting to remove paint,
I'd shorten it up a bit. You can't straighten that frame rail? I've found the best way to get them straight is to slowly apply force and hold the force overnight. That way the internal stresses created by the bending have time to relax. That darn NY salt is murder. Do you run any double frame trucks? What do you do to prevent rust jacking? Even down here in Hazleton I see terrible frame rust jacking, sometimes so bad that the frame rails split in trucks that are only about 10 years old.
Justin just keep up repair old truck.i work pipeline 30 years western canada.i told lots contractor keep old trucks tip top shape and last.one company decide order 20 trucks custom built kw t800 it just junk yup.the def,cummins ecm,trans 18 speed,winch so on.they keep old truck yard I told send truck too kw nisku near edmonton.the old save pipeline job line 3 embribge yes.rebuild I did this 41 years ago coal se bc w900 pay off very well.comple rebuild save trucks due lay time got new one save time,money,down time.thanks video good luck.😊

Good afternoon sir Justin, great to hear you in good spirit and having a positive and productive attitude, yessir! You’re able to still make miles and money, that’s a great thing. Looking forward in seeing the fruits of your labor. Oh yeah, the color Purple represents royalty. Great content and info like always 💯💯💯
Flip the colors with your other trucks and do a blue frame and black cab or blue frame and silver cab would look good as well. Cant wait to watch this project
Frame rails are a big project, I'm excited to watch the process. My truck is double framed and it will have to get rails some day when the rust jacking is bad enough, and it will be changed over to single 1/2" rails. We just painted my truck a very dark blue/gray and silver 2 tone, the dark color is actually Mopar's Maximum Steel Metallic. I'm happy with how it turned out, it looks amazing in the sunshine.
I know there are different frame thicknesses depending on the spec of the truck, do you happen to know what this particular trucks frame material thickness is ?. As to what caused the frame being tweaked, I wonder if pulling on one of the frame inserts ( rather than an even pull between the two frame rails ) could cause damage such as this.
@@flintcreektransport Yes, please do that and post back as I am really curious about that and it may or may not prove invaluable information in the future for trucks you spec out or use for certain extra tough jobs.
Ok, a blue maybe a bright metallic blue or a hunter green…..I love that truck as is…….GM has a deep ocean blue they used a few years ago, 2014 thru 2018, I had one before my Patriot Blue RAM……
I’ve bought frame rails from Adams before. They were perfect. Not one single problem. I would suggest you have the mill scale sandblasted off, then primed and painted. all the spots you can’t get in one it’s assembled. Then do the whole thing as a rolling chassis . Just a suggestion, but I’ve had very good luck that way.
Why can't you just have the rail/truck straightened ? I think it is a fairly common thing to have done, no different than any other type of body work. Thanks for the video.
Would it really be that big of a deal though to just replace the bad side and leave the good sign alone? Assuming they were the exact same specs and everything (that could be the tricky part)
Lol I agree make it 20-24 inches longer and I think the blue with a black frame looks great I seen one of your truck's out on the big road but he didn't have his cb volume up I'm guessing. Keep up the great work your crew is getting it done amazing crew your blessed and a little bit of luck
Stick with your blue with black frame, stainless steps and wrap the fuel tank in stainless. She's gonna go e you another 2 million miles after all that oh and Trevor is the man. Happy trails stay safe 👍
