Thank you sir and yessir skylar is good help. I always enjoy working with him when we get too. Thanks for the kind words and for watching as always! Take care and come back anytime, please.
@@zachodommulelogging so possibly a dumb question but this is my first medium duty truck i am working on and i dont have equipment to pick up the spoke/drum assembly i am about to tear into the rear brakes. Anyways can i take nuts off of the spokes and split the spokes from the drums and take them off separate after i have take the axle nuts off? Hope that made sense
@@Dylan07-59yessir that makes perfect sense. Only thing is, those are bolts and not studs. So probably when your start to loosen them, the heads are gonna spin. Probably. You’re best bet, would probably be put a floor jack under it to relive some pressure and maybe get a couple people to help you slide it off. You can split the spokes and drum, but again the bolt head will probably turn on ya. And ya can’t get to the heads with it on the truck. So…hope this helps ya some kinda way.
@@zachodommulelogging okay that makes sense thank you! Keep up that good videos and thanks for responding to me. I live in east TN good to see a fellow tennessean on the youtube
Your dad was right I’d say! We always try and do things right the first time as often as we can. Thanks a whole bunch for watching and commenting! I appreciate it and take care. Come back anytime it suits ya, please.
Yes for sure! This old truck has 260k miles on it and still going. It’s not fancy by any means, but it gets logs to the mill. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!! I appreciate it
I read another comment about using concrete blocks as jack stands. I do agree with him. Cut off log end much safer. I love the way you teach your younguns ' through work
Me too..but here at home we used what we had. And we kept a jack under it also for added safety. But yes wood is better! And thanks again for the kind words
You should have left the Slack adjuster ALONE because you may have tighten the brakes right back up after you caged the brake which means that groove the is worn into the brake drum is gonna have the bake shoe planted firmly into the drum but im sure you will get it figured out
There is a spring place in Johnson City not sure of the name. I know several people that has went over there so they must be competitive in price. They can build a set to match what you have.
It’s an 88 model Chevrolet C70. Quiet a few of those trucks were AB equipped. The older ones were usually hydroboost brakes. But yes, these trucks were made to work no doubt. They’re tough and just keep a going! Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate it
Daytons look great and are bomb proof, but in return you have some extra sweat to pour when you’re doing brakes or wheel bearing on them. Good video for those who need some guidance on these old rascals. God bless
Thank you! Yea there are up’s and down’s to them like anything else. Once ya learn them tho, they ain’t bad. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment, take care and do come again. Please
Hi Zack really enjoy your video's and I know you are better mechanic then I am but I saw you using cement blocks to block up your axle. I used to do that as well until one day one just shattered while I was under the machine. Cement blocks unlike wood does not give any warning when they go they just shatter like glass. I narrowly missed getting seriously injured. Now I always keep decent squared timbers around for jobs like that. Not trying to tell you your job so please don't take offense. Just concerned for your safety.
No prob. And thanks! And yes you’re right but we used what we had at the time. I keep a jack under it also for extra support should something happen. But yes, wood is always better. We had some blocking but not enough for the whole deal. So we did what we had to. I don’t mind construction criticism and suggestions. Thanks for looking out and take care my friend. And thanks for watching and commenting
I’ll work it in once we get her back going. Waiting on rims and drums to get back from sand blast right now. Hopefully soon tho! Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care
They’ll fit. Best to use a 7.5” wide rim on the insides. We’ve done it on several other of these old trucks. And thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Take care!
I don't want to come across as a safety Salley, but please stop using cement blocks to block up trucks. I know you have them stacked the correct way and have a block of wood to distribute the weight but a cement block has a tendency to just bust for no apparent reason. My Grandpa was almost killed under a combine that had been jacked up on cement blocks for three weeks he went under it to put the transmission back in and all of a sudden one of the blocks busted and they where stacked in the correct orientation with a block on top just like yours are. I keep 6x6 and 8x8 wood blocks around for blocking machinery up. What I have learned about machinery is if you ain't working with it you need to be working on it. I have taken lots of axle nuts off the exact same way you done it but have bought hub nut sockets over the years now I usually have one to fit what ever i am working on. Its hard to make it if you have to hire out all your repair work. I enjoy your videos keep them coming.
You’re right. But we use what we have at the time. Wood is always better; but we did with what we had to do with. And used extra jacks. And made sure we didn’t get in the way of it if it did fall. But thank you for looking out. And thanks for watching!

@@Dylan07-59awesome, you’re welcome!
My dad used to say it might take a little longer to do it right but once you got it you got it.
Your dad was right I’d say! We always try and do things right the first time as often as we can. Thanks a whole bunch for watching and commenting! I appreciate it and take care. Come back anytime it suits ya, please.
Thats a big job, but you guys made it look fairly easy. Thanks Skylar and Zach for taking us along 😊.
Thank you sir and you’re most welcome! Thx for watching and commenting. Take care!!
Just happy to see a video when your ready
It’s more important, to spend time with Sarah Beth they grow up to fast
Yes ma’am you’re right and thank you kindly for always watching and commenting! I really appreciate it. Thanks! Take care
Is skylar your son? None of my business just curious
My step son 😌
That’s good your teaching him to do stuff nice to see young person outside instead of on video games
Those old medium duty Chevy and ford trucks were some good trucks even if they had a gas engine. You can do a lot of work with them.
Yes for sure! This old truck has 260k miles on it and still going. It’s not fancy by any means, but it gets logs to the mill. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!!! I appreciate it
Big 'ol knuckle bustin work. It's what makes the country go. Plus it helps a small businessman survive.

Truck is done and back on the road. Thanks for watching!
There is a spring place in Johnson City not sure of the name. I know several people that has went over there so they must be competitive in price. They can build a set to match what you have.
Cool 😎!!! Thank you. I’ll look and see if I can find them. Sure appreciate it! And thanks for watching and commenting
Thats an interesting truck...gas engine, air brakes, and a 2spd rear?
Not sure I've seen an air brake/ 2spd before.

Should of used a catch pan so you wouldn’t pollute the ground
Not much came out at all. We drained the rear end beforehand. But thanks for pointing it out. You’re right. Take care and thanks for watching.
When are we gonna get a video of you driving that old girl? Neat old truck!
I’ll work it in once we get her back going. Waiting on rims and drums to get back from sand blast right now. Hopefully soon tho! Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care
I probably would have used a chain and come along never thought bout Jack
Hey, it’s only dumb if it don’t work right?! Lol! Thx for watching
Not sure that 11-22.5’s will fit on the back without hitting the springs. They won’t on my 91 kodiak.
They’ll fit. Best to use a 7.5” wide rim on the insides. We’ve done it on several other of these old trucks. And thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it. Take care!

I was saying wrong way but you weren't listening 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 now ya tell me! Lol. Thanks again for watching commenting my friend. Take care
That thing has cone washers, until you remove those you will never get the axle out!
Yeah. They can be aggravating at times. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
Thank you ☺️
