Great video J.C! 🙂👍 I loved the falling parts in slow-motion. 🤣 Reminded me of the Blues Brothers when their cop car falls apart at the end of the movie! The truck is taking shape nicely 🔧 I'm glad you found the cylinders you were wanting
I like how you explained the reeving system. I have seen them but never new the name. I think some ladder trucks use that system. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
It's easy to see why it would be the best set up for this truck. Of course, best set up doesn't necessarily go with no budget build, but maybe in the future when there is money to be put into the build/improvement...
saving money surely isnt saving time. it takes so much longer to find something that will work, cut it up so i can use it as i need and clean it up for welding.
Damn, JC.... I love how you build stuff! The quality of your fabrication looks excellent to me. I would happily own and operate anything that you have either worked on, or built from scratch because I know that you dont do anything half assed. If something is worth doing, then its worth doing right! And that is exactly how you operate! Nice job, sir!
J.C. I love that you over build everything. You recognize that a repair mech would rather build it right the first time than fix it over and over. I started learning stuff on my grandpa's dairy farm in the 50's and saw them fix cheaply made farm equipment and hearing their 'opinion' of poorly made stuff. It am sure that if my mom or grandma had heard what the men said around my little ears that they would have regretted the language!! Keep up the good work, it's refreshing to see a guy do what is right vs. what is easy. . .
Thanks for another great video, the slow motion frame fall-apart was super! Not to criticize, but having kept a fleet of 27 school busses on the road here in Idaho, for 18 years, I always found the air driers to be my friend! It's OK to P O the French, but the Pintel hook an Lynette ring (vice "Pintel Ring") have kept their RAIL roads running for years! Good work, keep on keeping on!
Difficult to believe you two achieve all that manufacture alone, without anyone else. Plus keeping the yard, tools and shop organized. And today you even managed to pull out the slow motion demolition trick. 😀 Thanks for the video. Plus today I learned one more that no in English. Being in Brazil, I didn’t know what an ICC Bumper was!
Being so good at what you do is a double edged sword. You are in demand and have lots of business. The other side is when do you get a break and time for yourself? May you stay healthy and busy forever. Thanks for sharing.
Sure hopefully he's thankful my knowledge is unless someone does it or works on it or etc no respect process be honestly we all take pride in work but otherwise don't care as much. Perfectionist
This is the best way to recycle scrap metal and you do it very well J.C. And the thought process is I’d rather see it built overkill than under any day of the week. “Built To Last” May You both have a Blessed One Sir.
Your creativity and ingenuity seems to have no bounds. Love the channel and can’t tell you how much your vids have helped me with some of my own projects.
Hi mr and mrs Jc, just like to say hi lady and you mr Jc are a very talented man, having been around transport for thirty years I’ve seen some bad and a lot of good and your on the good side so keep up the GOOD work and may we see many more and a big thank you from a chilly U.K., markUK
It's looking good! I can only imagine the hours you have in this project... If you had an old Ramsey 12,000lb hydraulic winch off of an old wrecker or rollback laying around, I bet would be a good fit for this project.
hard to find those winches at a reasonable price around here. i continue to look. lots of hours for sure. dont want to know really. i think i am just past the halfway point on the project now.....it takes me awhile to figure out a way to make what i have work. i am trying to make it work but not look like it is junk thrown together. i hope it works out.
I like how you find value in even the smallest parts like those tow hooks. I always try and do the same. And as always you do such quality work 👍🏼 Always enjoy watching your videos
Excellent video i really like that you are incorporating safety items into the build at the same time I am the same way when I build stuff. I see that you are thinking many steps ahead before you just weld stuff on. Most machine and metal shops only build to a blueprint and forget to add basic safety stuff like the bumper and bed safety locking posts. I hope that you will put the cylinders pushing from the front to back with the base being to the front with that heavy of a cylinder they can run alot lower angle. My extraordinarily with cylinders pushing directly under the load seem to work the best i have built farm truck hoist beds and silage truck boxes and I put the cylinders pushing towards the rear of truck once you figure out the true push point it's not a problem to dump alot of weight with small cylinders. I have a Schwartz implement bed on a long wheelbase truck with a winch similar to what you showed and it will either pull the load or lift the truck front off of the ground I have sledded a 7 ton machine with it like it was a toy
the cylinders will be mounted near the leaf spring hanger and pushing forward. the frame has quite a bit of overhang. that will aid in the dumping action. we need more power to pull the lifting frame down. i think putting the cylinders this way will give us the best advantage.
@@j.c.smithprojects oh yeah that makes sense now I understand what you are doing it takes a alot of mechanical advantage to pull the bed back down with a load on it .With the amount of tail overhang it will dump fairly easy
morning JC. I had a look at the cost of magnetic drills here in Australia. They cost over $4,000 so I won't be buying one for a while lol. enjoy your channel. still watching episodes from 3 years ago. your a genius and your welding is brilliant, not like mine (chicken feet)
yikes! this one is just under $2000. right now i think. as much as i use it, i am ok with that. i have to do a lot of welding before it starts to resemble anything other than a globbed up mess.
Enjoy watching your channel ì like how you explain why your building it the way you are in easy terms so even thickos like me understand keep up the good work thanks
just like the way you walk downhill , small lean left side , then right walking up . turn wire speed down slightly for vertical , remember gravity will load the puddle , thus reduced speed . slo and steady .
"Push to leak fittings" Lol! I've been thru that last week. Had to build a brass tee to fix a leaking one, got done and had another leak on a double check valve tee. I had to replace it too, for the second time.....
👍👌👏 Very "weld" done again and as always, Sir! ;-) Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you. Postscriptum: At last I subscribed.
@@j.c.smithprojects Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. I simply love to earn them for my comments. I already watched and enjoyed a lot of your vids, you and your wife do awesome work. Therefore: 💚💚 2) I really hope that you will not be too disappointed after this truck is used and will be neglected again. Because I guess that this will happen after I heard that the owner/your friend didn't care at all about the damaged new paint. In my personal opinion this is a clear sign that this guy doesn't appreciate all the hard work you put into his truck. That he also does not believe in (proper) maintenance could already be seen at his truck. Nevertheless: For you, Mr. Smith, I hope I'm wrong.
you will have better results for overhead , pulling the weld puddle verses pushing the puddle .due to splatter drop effecting your tip , use the dip ... your down passes tell me your settings are correct , nice washing puddle edges . gravity loads puddle at direction change , the key is uniform puddle wash up and down directions . my welder has numbers for wire speed , example ..downhill running 6 , uphill run 5.5 same 140 v for both . i am sure you will improve fast . any mig weld position has more penetration than stick welding . your wire is also 70,000 psi like 7018 rods . keep up the great videos . my last tip is block the wind blowing on your welding . hard to do on high rise buildings and bridges .
Coming together really nice! Love all the repurposing! After my own heart right there! Did any of them torch tips and stuff fit I sent ya? I couldn't tell in the video, but frame bolts and rivets are where them scarfing tips are really handy. You remember that show junkyard wars? Loved that show back in the day. Keep up the awesome work! Thanks for the update!
i used the one tip the other day when i was cutting some pieces apart that i wanted so reuse. it was nice to have the ability to cut it so close to the weld. you may not believe how much old truck frame i have used so far. i have used lots of old junk that has been just laying around. .....and so much more to come!
waiting to see tarp or do lights or something else action man winter we play cold or hot i mean working women know but what were up to. Full cooler drinks in shop do my thing
I apologize in advance if you already answered this question in the video i may have missed it, What is the width between the rails on the rolloff? Thanks for the videos
I know you’re not a welder. But this is awesome. I need prop rods for my dump truck and this looks like it would work properly. How bout I just bring mine up to you? International 4300 DT 466. She needs a little love.
Hello J.C. ...it's coming along well . It's definately designed different from what i'm familiar with..but looking good . I'm a little lost on the rollers being only on the back..i guess further videos will make it self explanatory . Another item roll-offs have on the tail is a pipe roller from one rail to the other so they dont sink in the ground..is that what you are fabricating ? The one thing we added on the rails on a few trucks was hardened flat stock on top of the rails once they wore down over time..seeing there wont be rollers along the frame..it might be something to consider . Enjoying the build..good luck with the progress
i want a pipe roller from one side to the other for sure. the owner disagrees. he thinks it is not necessary. i just have not found any material to build it out of yet. there are some things i am still working out in my head. hopefully it will work out.
I'm looking for those exact actuators from your build. Wear did you get them from? Excellent build as always.. I come from the aviation world so I never use hardware over.. but your right the little stuff is what ads up..
@@j.c.smithprojects thanks for getting back to me..I'm on the east coast I'll try some surplus liquidators..and thing government has made is underrated for it's task..
Looks good. Watching on my phone and your before welds dont look that bad. A good looking weld doesnt make it a strong weld. A bad looking weld doesnt mean its weak. A family member welded a pintle mount for me and and years of using it. It failed pulling trl that was around 16k normal is 13k. Going from field up a hump to parking lot. It looked great but poor penetration. I rewelded with my hobart 190 and it doesnt look the greatest but ive been using it since with no issue
i am trying to achieve a good uniform weld. hopefully i am getting good pentration and just the right amount of wire infused. just going by what i read. still not a welder....just trying to improve.
J.C.- Just two really quick questions, if may... What are your preferred brands of cutting disks and flip disks, and where do you get them? Thanks in advance! :-)
acrylic enamel with a hardner. i needle scale it, then flap disc, next is wire wheel followed by pressure washer (weather permitting), blow off and let dry. prime with a rusty metal type primer. then 2-4 coats of paint.
I feel like there is a balance of fill time to volume. You would know more than me. There are priority valves that fill primary first to help get pressure up that I don't know alot about either.
this compressor was large enough to run the air tank on the truck as well as the trailer air tank that it was set up to tow from factory. we should be just finr.
Are you sure that ICC bumpers not gonna cause issues? I ran a roll off for a little while and it had a hinging one for the pintle you could run, but it worked out nice on uneven ground, or steep driveways, could pin it up to keep out out of the way. I don't know, I'm just asking.
i tacked it into place and then tilted the frame all the way. still had great clearance from the ground. never built a rolloff before so, i guess we will see if it works or it needs changes.
@@j.c.smithprojects I don't know if they all flip up, just the one I ran did, was a galbreath body on a western star. Wouldn't be hard to change it down the road regardless. Awesome project by the way, looking forward to seeing it all done.
looks more a rolloff truck everyday! Looks great! Do you plan on the batteries for the winch to be on the tilt part of the bed or on the truck and run a battery cable to the winch?
You may not be a welder you may not be an engineer you might not even be a mechanic but you do all of the above pretty well
*Totally agree!*
Yeah that’s for sure , I think you’re tricking us JC . And it’s a a lot tougher when you’re using second hand materials
I agree as well he’s always planning ahead what steps to build next. This is a solid build truck 🛻.
Dear R.Q.
👍👌👏 Yeah, it's pretty weld done! ;-)
Best regards, luck and health.
it's always amazing seeing what a person can build entirely from scrap metal
Great job on tilt bed,brackets, welding, etc., repurposer working with what you have. 👍

very strong and reliable system for sure. i wish we were putting it on now.
It's easy to see why it would be the best set up for this truck. Of course, best set up doesn't necessarily go with no budget build, but maybe in the future when there is money to be put into the build/improvement...

I don’t think you give yourself enough credit for your welds. I’d call that a job well done. The truck is looking great!😀👍
The change in the cylinder makes sense the way you explain it.
Keep up the great work. Your welds look solid and you take the time clean the area properly. Solid prep and planning.

no. they should not interfere at all.
Outta name this truck "Hella" for Hella Strong! Well done! Also, you weld far better than I.
That is how my trash truck/container is set up... on the winch set up that you described, I never knew the name is all
Thanks for showing us some real work.
You may not be a welder but you sure do have nice welds ! Keep up the great work. I hope your friend realizes what a great friend he has in you.
i think he may be realizing just how big of a project this really is.
I love the videos. Especially this budget truck build. You are a good friend!!
for those wondering the icc bumper is to catch cars from going full up under a truck an killing the driver its a catch the car bumper an nothing else
You do great work and it's well thought. Jinga frame!! The brass is the most expensive part it seems. I save them all. Thanks JC!
solid reasoning for the winch placement!
You do nice work you should give yourself more credit

acrylic enamel with a hardner. i needle scale it, then flap disc, next is wire wheel followed by pressure washer (weather permitting), blow off and let dry. prime with a rusty metal type primer. then 2-4 coats of paint.
if you increase the air tank volume wouldn't that decrease pressure or just make the compressor work more? i ain't no rocket surgeon just wondering.
no. the governor will not kick out until it reaches 125 psi regardless of the size of the tank. volume is not pressure.
I feel like there is a balance of fill time to volume. You would know more than me. There are priority valves that fill primary first to help get pressure up that I don't know alot about either.
this compressor was large enough to run the air tank on the truck as well as the trailer air tank that it was set up to tow from factory. we should be just finr.
Did you finish this build? cannot find all the videos if you did.
sitting beside my shop waiting for the owner to bring me the rest of the parts i need.
24:00 will that prop rod rattle out of the hanger on tough roads?
There aren’t any rough roads in Ohio.
not when i am done. still havnt worked out the exact solution to hold it in place but i am working on it.
hahahahahahaha!!!!!
Are you sure that ICC bumpers not gonna cause issues? I ran a roll off for a little while and it had a hinging one for the pintle you could run, but it worked out nice on uneven ground, or steep driveways, could pin it up to keep out out of the way. I don't know, I'm just asking.
i tacked it into place and then tilted the frame all the way. still had great clearance from the ground. never built a rolloff before so, i guess we will see if it works or it needs changes.
@@j.c.smithprojects I don't know if they all flip up, just the one I ran did, was a galbreath body on a western star. Wouldn't be hard to change it down the road regardless. Awesome project by the way, looking forward to seeing it all done.
at 2:54, she says "All Done?"
here, hold my beer, uh torch.
That looked like some Hollywood movie stuff there.😳
Looks like Mr JC had his spinach that morning.
looks more a rolloff truck everyday! Looks great! Do you plan on the batteries for the winch to be on the tilt part of the bed or on the truck and run a battery cable to the winch?
batteries will be under the cab. i will run oversized wire from the batteries to the winch.
how do you plan on running that, whip off the cab or to the pivot and up the frame? lots of cable at full tilt.
from the batteries. down the frame to the pivot and up to the winch. since it is so long, it will be a grossly oversized cable or parrallels.
