Just wanted to say your doing a hell of good job on that truck. It's nice to see someone take the time and not rush to make sure it's done right the first time. The classic quote of, slower is faster in the end. Keep up the good work maybe someday we'll meet in the woods.
Looking good!! Body work is my worst nightmare being a mechanical kinda person but at least you had some help on the sanding and prep. Truck is coming along nicely, ready to see more.
asyer way to do x the heads with cutoff wheel and air chisel them off . did it that way for ford rear mounts in shop . they did not want hot wrench used with ford warranty . great show lookin for more vids. terry
By now you probably have a plasma cutter, but I've had both and I'd take an acetylene torch any day over hearing an air compressor run all the time and always having to be near 220v power to use it.
kody he has them on right look at the diff where the drive shaft goes the inside of the tires point the direction of rotation in forward motion just like a tractor tread the out side lugs are pointed the other way for reverse traction. recovery team love it been following you since you came out I'm not it your parts so would you sell me a sticker plz
I figured the pink-paint on the wrecker was original, and that's why it was so faded, but now I see it's just because it had a home-blown 3rd-rate paint-job put on it, it wouldn't have taken much more time or money too put a good-one on it tho, thanks for sharing.
I wish to have my wife helping me out like seat cover, great job, are you planing to add some new stuff to the wrecker? like new emergency lights, spot lights?
I am no expert but I have changed a few old chevy leaf springs out and they were not that bad to take out, certainly easier than taking out all the rivets. I used an impact gun added some oil to slick them up then hit them out with a hammer.
Need to buy a case of cheap beer have about 2 buddies over and just knock it out, work all night on a friday or saturday, thats what my buddy used to do with a K5 blazer build…….we didn't mind drinking his cheap beer! Can't wait til she's done you're prolly sick of workin on it so much but hang in there
what brand and tread type are the rear tires on the old wrecker wheels!... i would like to find some of them for my 1980 ford f250 4x4! thanks Erick, your pal, mike
gilliland426 Those are military 37" Goodyear MT. They aren't the best in any category, other than cost, but they are good in mud, snow, rocks, pavement, and durability. They can be had for fairly cheap ($50-$100 per tire) on Craigslist or from someone who has a contract with the government that buys them in giant loads. Also, they fit a 16.5" wheel.
I'm watching all of these, and they're great, much respect, but you need to use masks for grinding paint, etc! You really don't want to be inhaling that stuff, especially that cute girl of yours. Land Rover Discovery 1 owner in in Jamaica. No salt to eat out frames like where you live (unless you live on the coast, which I don't)..
Love your vids, but holy shit, wear one of those cheap $10-$15 respirator masks with the two round canisters. If not for you, but for people who watch your vids. Lead by example. Paint has some nasty shit in it. Otherwise, love your vids!
I know this is 4 mo old. But the 1 ton trucks kept the same 81-87 body style till 91. Same with suburban and Blazer/jimmy. Basically everything was the same for the 88-91 trucks except for a different grille/headlight setup and some other minor stuff.

I don't have a compressor plumed into my home garage, I use a gas powered, portable one. It was a freebee, found on the freeway, fell off a contractors truck, a little repair and was good to go...LOL
Enjoy your videos but you do drag things on a bit. Like the 5 part series of getting frozen truck out. You could of gotten rid of most of the 1st video. Mostly driving got boring. You could of shown loading everything up then flashed forward to getting there. You don't need to show every little detail. I believe you would have better content and more subscribers if you did little better editing.
Always nice to see ladies work with hands and power tools
Glad to see you have a mrs that doesn't mind helping with the mechanical work, and body work. Mine just watches and complains from the front stoop.
Thats his daughter
I agree, you dont know how lucky you are to have a wife like you have. you are a wealthy man to have someone like her

Stupid Question What Was The Over All Lift On The Old Wrecker Cause Them Some Extra Packed Leaf Springs. Coming Along cant wait till u git r done

13:20 I think you need a bigger pry bar lol
what did your leaf pack come off of or did you piece it together?? thats a hell of a lot of leaf pack.
So did you guys only have one wrecker or did you have an extra one to make some recoveries?
I must say well done on the smokin hot badass bride! She's a gem how did you pull it off?! Love your vids!
Chris Malson considering that's his daughter, I don't think she his Gem Bride.
If you are talking about the person he refers to as seat cover, that's his wife.
Didn't feel like grabbing the cross member? 🔥
thats awesome man
a suggestion to help with rust rinoline the bottom of the truck
what brand and tread type are the rear tires on the old wrecker wheels!... i would like to find some of them for my 1980 ford f250 4x4!

you should wear a breathing mask
Absolutely
what does BSF stand for I watch all your videos and I tried to posit when there is a good angle of the tow truck and could never make it out
Broke, stuck, and the "F" word.
Awesome vid!
Good job

How many leaf springs do u have in the rear and how big of lift in the front
you should wear face masks to protect ur lungs from the dust ??!!
Looking good time start charging gas grass or ass no free tows LOL
Breathing all that paint dust must be healthy, holy hell.
just wondering who seat cover was to you and what's the name of your company
No company, just for fun. Seat cover (Mara) is my wife.
Love your vids, but holy shit, wear one of those cheap $10-$15 respirator masks with the two round canisters. If not for you, but for people who watch your vids. Lead by example. Paint has some nasty shit in it. Otherwise, love your vids!
What rims you using on that rear end? I wanna run dual HMMWV tires on my dually
Mat OB
His setup is:
stock 16.5" wheels
2" spacer at the brakes
2" spacer between the duals.
= 4 spacers
Badass
wow looks super easy/FILL IN THE BLANK
tha hammer sounds like a power fart
Id like to see if your seat cover can fit on my seat
You using same bed and winch
U need to wear respirators. That dust will kill u.
Y DO U CALL HER SEAT COVER ?
All those hot rivets are totally wide open and accessable from the other side, just saying
Do you have crossover steering?
What's up
I would like a pretty lady helping me with my projects.
In 1988, The body's changed drastically.I don't think the 88 dash pad would have been remotely close to a 1983. Perhaps 1973 to 1987 may have fit.
actually the 3500 didnt change body or dash in 88 just the lite duty...

Gas Axe FTW!
Yes, let's all inhale all those paint particles.
respirators are cheaper than lung transplants
That girl looks young enough to be your daughter.
Ken MacMillan but she has a nice rack on her.

when part 6
Why exactly did you run the wheels reversed like that? The patterns reversed. What's the point in not running both in the more Agressive style.
Kody Tuggle older 37 hmmwv tires tread design is such that forward or reverse you get the same traction
what kind of air compressor do you use at home?
I don't have a compressor plumed into my home garage, I use a gas powered, portable one. It was a freebee, found on the freeway, fell off a contractors truck, a little repair and was good to go...LOL
recoveryteam what brand is it? I need something with a good supply of air
Has a honda motor, and the twin tank, wheelbarrow design. I don't know the brand, or the CFM rating.
how many leafs on that frame? i know its a wrecker but is that normal
?
desperado11000 lift kit
What's that style of bumper called I need one.
Nolan Gillespie it's called custom
Nolan Gillespie
Barden bumper
Why do you never take the skid steer with you
Jonn Mayfield That monster weighs over 14000 lbs not easy to haul, and it runs bad needs a overhaul.
Oh
Jonn Mayfield plus the wrecker hauls in style haha
what i dont get is y u dint just use the old wrecker front clip and doors
+Joe “Jartmen” Berenguer Rust and dents.
ok
red it is/ no camo /no white red and black easy to paint/just red
It looks like a sack full of door knoobs
Hi
Is seat cover your daughter or your wife or your girlfriend who is she
Wife.
why do you call the young woman "searcover" ?
1:02 short girl problems ..LOL
whatisthisnonsens100 you have low standards
Why don't you just buy a newer wrecker ,it will be better than patching the old frame 20 times just to savin money
MAAA SAYS YOU OTTA WEAR A MASK
