Yep! A new nut fixed it. Thanks for watching!

The thought was a thicker oil won't seep through the piston seals as easily but its definitely an experiment!

@@manfordman9112 As far as the blow by is concerned I would think the thinner oil would get wiped away easier. The thinnest diesel oil with the most zinc would be my choice or maybe the pag oil that is for the compressor. Anyway, cool video. Thanks for sharing it.

Mmm, I don't see why that wouldn't work! If you had a vacuum tank hooked up to the suction side with a check valve in line I'm sure it would. They do make great compressors though. The 709 sandens pump a little more air than this 508 will. We just went with the 508 because the mounting was similar to the Ford ac compressor that was on the engine already.

Thanks I hope it does!

No idea. Found it in the scrap pile at work! I know they carry it at tractor supply though.

For sure! We still have a bit to go but it'll come along. Thanks for commenting! Also your c50 is coming along nicely!

Thanks! It is very different from regular welding for sure, being as it's a pressurized vessel. You think it's good and then you put a couple psi in it and you'll find leaks. Definitely takes some patience and work!

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback, as I've watched many of your videos, and you are inspirational 👍

@@coloradogrown562 I can tell you watched me build my 47 Ford Rat Rod or maybe it was the 31 Chevy ... regardless, glad someone was paying attention. Never give up even if you have to do it twice to make it nice ... as our buddy at Rat Rods For Africa would say.

Wait until it's done. Also post a link to your builds so we can all see what we should be striving for.

@@manfordman9112 I second the motion! Show us how it should be done!

What do you drive?

There's a ton of different ways to set up a link suspension! It's not too hard if you can find the information. I've found books to be a better source than videos. A parallel 4 link is easy to set up and pre-made kits are cheap! Just habe to run a pan hard bar to keep the axle in place. We went with this triangulated set up to eliminate the pan hard bar to leave more room for the fuel tank in the rear.

@@manfordman9112 yeah I would like to avoid a panhard bar.

​@@RacelifeCoyeah I get it. Adds more room and less moving parts. I actually learned a lot about link suspensions from a dirt track racing book. Good luck on your build and if you have any questions we will do our best to help you with them!

They do. It's the perceived value to the judges. All of this was actually collected for this build though. The most expensive thing on the whole truck is the wilwood brake master cylinder. It's all just old not highly sought after parts. Dana 70, drum brakes all the way around, 351m with an fmx transmission that was free. It was actually built for WAY less than $5,000.

Safety items don't go against your budget however. Tires, brakes, steering, bolts, seat belts, etc. So with that out of the equation this truck was actually built for less than $1500.

No fan but there is a vent pipe from the tank through the roof, as well as 3 inch vents in the walls to allow airflow through the inside. Thanks for watching!

We generally just take a 5 gallon bucket of fresh water with us unless there is a water source on the job site! We thought about a fresh water tank but we had limited room. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Spoken like a true business owner lol

Thanks! We tried to make it as nice as possible

Ya it's pretty convenient and useful to have on a trailer. It is a bit too heavy though so it's not amazing to pull around

Oh and it does have stairs that go with it. We are thinking about doing a fold down set up for them, just haven't gotten around to it yet. It was one of those finished at midnight projects and went to the job site the next morning and basically lived at job sites.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks 👍

😂In a perfectly legal manner of course! We actually have a dump hose for an RV hookup as well and we can just dump it right in the septic tank at job sites.

It's no worse than any other porta potty. About every 2 weeks we dump the upper tank into the lower tank when it starts to get bad, but we also do use the tank tablets for RVs each time we dump it and add fresh water. If you can park it in the shade somewhere it stays good even longer!

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad this video helped 👍 Also, another cool rat rod channel is Hardcore Fab. We got inspiration from that channel for the frame of the truck

Yes! That is my dad helping me with this project. He knows his stuff for sure

I've actually been watching your top chop videos! I think it's turning out great!
