First Gen Dodge Cummins Shop Truck Refresh

I originally got this truck as a wrecked and gutted shell back in the late 90's. Its had a long history since then, but now I'm doing a refresh on it to make it more useful and nicer to drive.

[@BabyfaceChase]

Your channel is underrated. Keep doing what you’re doing.

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

[@leximatic]

6:40 "Precision bodywork" made my day.

[@sucharsharma5725]

That is straight from the Jeremy Clarkson School of Engineering.

[@AustinRBa]

That reskin on the bed came out really sweet. Might have to do that on my C10.

[@amx19733]

Great mechanical entertainment!!! One of the best channels on TH-cam!!

[@nunyabuziness8421]

That truck is 🔥 a year later still waiting for an update on the truck

[@LowBuckGarage]

Yeah, I've been putting off working on the truck, its just works good enough. I do have a pile of parts to install sitting in the garage waiting for it, I should get to that this winter.

[@leodooley7979]

Very nice job, Definetly looks more useful!, I love your Dry sense of humor and that you take the time to respond to viewers ! Keepp on having fun !!!

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

I was not on board with this (aesthetically), until I saw the ends result up close. The utility is cool and for some reason looks better up close. However, I think if I lived in the desert, I would have to start with fixing the A/C.

[@LowBuckGarage]

I agree, not the most eye appeal, but it sure is useful. Also, I can still put on stuff meant for a regular bed, like a camper. The A/C is coming up, but I had to wait to line up a few more mechanical things so I can do them all at once.

You are a talented and inspired man . Great work on the old Dodge . Thanks for the video. American Iron All the Way !

[@LowBuckGarage]

[@abhayajoodha3113]

@@LowBuckGarage thank you for your reply! I'm a huge fan!

[@johnduffy3449]

keep up the good content! Underrated channel

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! I'm already working on more projects, you'll see them on video soon...

[@DillonHFM]

I fixed up a silver rolled over pickup, its still my favorite rig, and as far as the primer goes, it gets a can every year weather it needs it or not, and it is close enough that in 8 years, I still haven't painted it

[@snaggletooth1773]

Reminds me of my first truck, old ‘83 D250.
One day I’ll find another.

[@soyron]

I wish i can get my hands on a d250 or a 1991 f250 for my first truck

[@pepijnschmidt3050]

The look on the kid's face
"😯 It was hollow?!?!"

[@Turbo496Vette]

“When using this lap style drill press make sure it’s not over your leg” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MarcinNorbert]

Your channel is great!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice job! 🙂👍 I really like how you customized the bed. You can't beat an old 5.9 🔧🔩

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! I really like the old 6bt's, especially the ones made before the intercooler models.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

WOW, that came out great ! ENJOYED..

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

[@theodoreolson8529]

I think it would look great as a flatbed.

[@LowBuckGarage]

I seriously considered that, but on a flatbed you have to tie everything down really well. Its a lot easier to load if you still have sides.

[@albatrosnh]

So much to love on this! Especially the little helper!!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks! She's always supportive of cutting cars apart, especially when they go back together...

[@richarda996]

Your inspector is your pride and joy. 🎉❤

[@michiganporter]

Impressive rock auto magnet collection my friend! I've got a rock auto magnet covered fridge!

[@larryalexander4833]

Lol when using the lap style press area and a nail gun ( actually a stapler putting carpet bunk boards for a boat trailer ) be careful you leg is not in the way. Lol you get my drift

[@LowBuckGarage]

All I have to say is ouch! Gotta hate learning things the hard way...

[@alwinbroeckelmann7558]

Luv how you think outside the box and on the run. :)

[@michaeldenton8610]

That is an awesome bed

[@mickdog2]

fantastic bed upgrade

[@MrPancake0825]

James, what an awesome video!!! I enjoy these videos so much!!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thank you, glad you like them!

[@williamlott7612]

Looks good. Darlington, South Carolina

[@user-rw8fy4cf3d]

Hey! You must have been a Fabricator in your previous life! Superb Job!

[@hobbinshotrods6051]

Awesome stuff, James!

[@LowBuckGarage]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

[@oliverdann3155]

im in wales uk ... your a clever ole man :) wish u lived near me id love to be your apprentice

[@the_KID_b]

That is talent

[@puppyduppy9811]

I grew up in a junkyard too

[@highway445]

Great job. Are you an engineer of just a genius?

[@Jack-ne8vm]

You'd think that usable pickup bed would be a factory option.

[@danielstrachan8988]

😁😁👍👍

[@christopherdewitt5868]

What did ya paint it with

[@jerryb1234]

I didn't think anybody could ever make one of those Dodge trucks any uglier, congrats!, your right that it don't look "half-bad", it looks 100% bad, lol, but it is much stronger, and is way more useful I'm sure, some nicer rims-n-tires should make all the difference, 😉

[@LowBuckGarage]

I find it looks best with a load of junk and project parts in the bed!

[@jimmychanbers2424]

Dodge copied so much from g.m. Just G.M. didn't have to borrow a diesel.

[@leetravis7702]

No but they should have.

[@kimherrick9615]

Funny, I've seen those 'borrowed' Cummins swapped into a bunch of stuff, afterwards the stuff works better. Weird thing though, haven't seen very many GM 6.2 swaps maybe you could do a video, or a GM 6.5 swap into something. Might be a bit of a search to find one they seem to be scarce! Ah well, show us a Duramax swap that would be good. Hope you got some deep pockets they can be pricey. Hmmm a flat out reliable, cheap, and long running diesel engine. Yeah those Dodge Boys really made a bone head play when they put millions and millions of Cummins in their vehicles.
