That big dumb "i'm a teenager again" smile made the purchase worth it by itself
You are going to need a step ladder so man behind the seen can get in.
Lol
Or a Skunk to chase him up there.
@@DirtPerfect Or a small portable trampoline that'll hang on back of cab.
@@anthonydefreitas6006 that was Matt that got to practice that move. It would be fun to see mat teach that trick to Man Behind the Scene. Lol
@@lloydholt6511 well in that case Matt needs to learn how to share 🤪
Best thing about that truck is no emissions restrictions on it taking power away and less to go wrong.
Boys don't grow up, just their toys get more expensive. LOL. I love your new rig.
"Old Glory" good name for an American truck.
All My Paystars were built in Canada
The official Pepsi holder for military vehicles is a roll of duct tape just sitting on the floor between the seats.
🤫 oh hell why not. Most anything for DP!
Rear lockers👍 are for MUD & ROCKS ; pretty close to unstoppable. For hard turning surfaces, not so fun.
Build a conceal or a cooler / freezer bottom on it.
@@jameshicks4831
did that on a farm tractor
That's what I used when I was driving an old freightliner dump truck!
yeah and over time, in the summer heat, the glue will melt and run down, permanently gluing that roll of duct tape in place. I did the same thing before, works like a charm.
Call it Samson. Strong truck. Great find. So exciting.
Straight pipes and Jake brake! We wanna hear you rolling in! 😁😎
Matt at Demo Ranch calls his 5ton Abel. I think you should should call your truck "Cain".... Build series becomes "Raising Cain."
I absolutely love how you include your family with your business and projects.
Thanks
Duel exhaust. Not even broke in, in any capacity. Definitely looking forward to seeing the progression.
That Project will be awsome .
Vintage Air, they can put AC in anything.
Keep the brush bar. It’s gonna be an off road truck, better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
An great name “Goliath”. It is what it is.
That jewel would make a great off road camping rig, mobile kitchen and toilet, maybe a porch on back that uses a box truck lift gate carrying a side by side. A built in BBQ/Smoker... loads of dreams! LOL
Love your colors choice. Green and black, Dirt Perfect and Simon's Trucking. Ask the kids and Mrs DP about names. Simon's Trucking on the doors and Dirt Perfect along the bed. Ok I have said enough, can't wait to see what you come up with. AWESOME TRUCK, AWESOME BUILD
Nice truck! If you’re going to stretch the frame you are much better off to add to the rear of the the existing frame so you only have 1 splice. I also recommend step cutting the frame at the splice I know that it’s more hole drilling adding to the rear but the frame splice will be much stronger. As for the ac you should start looking for a junkyard cab with ac to rob the parts you need the hvac system is under the passengers seat and that cab was used on several models of trucks ie 4200, 4300, 5000 & 9300 etc. So finding factory ac components to do a conversion should be fairly easy. Just my 2 cents worth.
Have to agree. Adding to the rear of frame, then rolling axles back is more work, but the one splice is kinda worth it.
Actually not much advantage step cutting the frame, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead.
BTW, this stuff is what I do full time.
@@haroldphipps3457 I have been doing this for 37 years and step cutting is how I was taught, I’ve never had a truck or trailer frame break or crack but I’ve never done it any other way.
@@timrandolph115 , same here.
Except 42 years.
They are powerhouses for sure, I ran those when I was in the Navy Seabees, hauled D7G,D8K,621 so on with them. You should call it "Devil Bee" A lot of marines called us that
Very happy to see YOU so Happy! Maintenance was a top priority not only for "COMBAT READY" but each year the "IG" (Inspector General) came through for an inspection and in the military you DO NOT FAIL that biggy! NO, don't ask me how I know! Have fun Mike and I doubt you'll break that thing. GO FOR IT!!! Sonny (CT)
Love the truck and when you told the wife it was from the Navy, and not army, I thought "Petty Officer" would be perfect name for your project truck. Petty officers are the working backbone of the Navy.
Food for thought DP. I have a small dump truck with an extended frame and had enough room to add a fuel transfer tank between the cab and dump body. Can't tell you how awesome it is to always have fuel transfer on another jobsite truck. Don't have to drive back to the yard to grab the pickup, back to the job to fuel the equipment and back to the yard again to swap out the pickup for the dump truck again. It is by far the most universal and convenient mod I have ever done.
Don’t forget some jump seats or a bench seat for the kiddos. (Or MBTS 😜)
Mikey... you are in luck!!! I have extensive experience with customizing trucks.
At age nine I got my first truck. My dad had picked it up at a farm auction. It was yellow and had an off road dump bed on it. It must have been a 1953 or so. It didn’t come with a title and I was too young to know what a VIN was... but the rust on it told me it was at least as old as I was.
Obviously it had been overloaded once or twice. The front axle was bent.
It didn’t have air conditioning. That was because no one else had it back then. But, it didn’t matter anyway because, it came without windows and a windshield.
I wasn’t too fond of the yeller color... and even at that young age... I thought rust was ugly. So, my first modification was a new paint job. My dad had several cans of spray paint in the well house. I selected black. I prepped it by hosing all the dirt off and parking it in the sun. Then, I moved it to the paint area. (Well actually, I parked it on the new oak fence boards my dad had bought for upgrading the pig pen.)
I didn’t know anything about masking paint... but hey, it was going to be all black any way! So, I commenced to squirting paint all over it. (I learned a lot about painting from that experience... paint too heavy and it runs... painting over wet paint runs will turn them into drips. Point the paint can the wrong direction will turn white Chuck Taylor high tops into Holsteins. And, that if you paint all over your dads new pig pen lumber; you’ll receive a quick swat on your keester.)
The next project was to fix the running gear. I had seen my dad straighten bent T-posts by laying them on a railroad tie and smacking them with a sledge hammer. I figured that would be overkill... plus, I couldn’t figure out how to get the bent axle off. So, I got in the tractor toolbox and grabbed dads monster screwdriver. Slipping it under the front bumper and prying on the axle worked good enough. It wasn’t perfectly straight but, at that age, I was only allowed to drive off road anyway!
The next modification was to put decals on it. I’d recently traded my neighbor a whistle for two stickers that he’d gotten out of a box of Cracker Jacks. (If I remember correctly they were King Cobras.). I put them on the doors... they were just big enough to cover the embossed brand name of the truck.
With that, I successfully restored my first Truck! The mistakes that I made were true learning experiences... The lessons that I learned have been invaluable in future projects.
Just one last piece of advice for now... don’t use paper decals. As soon as they get wet, you end up with just a black Tonka Truck!
Mikey, I be along for the rest of the build. Don’t be shy about making withdrawals from my vast fountain of knowledge. There’s an abundance of life lessons that I’m happy to share.
Lol love all the input 😁
Mike, nice base for a hookarm project. Would fit your projects perfect to bring containers and flatdecks into the field right next to your projects. And a hookarm works well as a dumptruck as well
Keep the "deer slayer" on the front. It'll get some hard use in tight spaces. Cheaper than fenders and grill... Sweet ride! Don't know about this one but, that old "deuce and a half" I drove in the service, no road? No problem. Drop it down to low and make you own. That old girl would go anywhere. Ten inches of mud? Six wheels driving.
Gunner : Mom where’s dad
Mrs DP : he’s playing with his Christmas present 😂
😁
And all I got was a drone lol
43 years ago i started driving a 1976, i think, Paystar 5000 with a six speed. It had the tag axel behind the tandems. It , the logging truck, had a Barko loader that could hold about a full cord of hardwood straight out and not drop a stick or fall down once i let go of the controls. I had the fan come loose and lost power steering on a corner and had to stand up to get enough torque to make the corner and not crash. Thank God it let loose when i was empty and that large steering wheel came in handy, pun intended. It also took out the radiator. Very large and spendy. It was very close to being alot worse. Another miracle from above, no doubt! It didn`t have air either, but in Wisconsin, no need. I smiled almost as much as you were when i saw it.
When my youngest girl was around that age,she loved doing whatever I was doing @ that moment, i.e 4 wheelin", fishin,ridin our bikes,than she GREW-UP got married ect.SO ENJOY THEM WHILE YOU CAN
Wade would love to put a service body on that, might be the only rig out there with more chops than Whitey!
Forget the winch I mentioned.The smile you had on your face after climbing the hill was priceless. Nice to start with something as new.Keep you away from the TV for a while.
It's good to see Ol' "Domestic Operations" has found a good home! Take good care of her. She's a good girl!
Your just one great big kid Mike, BUT, I'm JEALOUS!!!!!! Jim R. UK.
I was at a total loss for how a truck that old had almost no use and was in immaculate condition (for the most part)........right up until you said it was a NAVY truck, then it all made sense. That truck has been babied and pampered its entire life, slept in a warm garage every night and consumed the best warm oils and lubes available. What better name for a Navy truck converted for swampy dirt use: S.S. TERRADACTYL
😆
If you get “Dirt Perfect” on the grill, then the name should be “Dirty Girll
As your driving back up the bluff to your house, I immediately recognized the area from your prior video! I thought of your dad and thought it might nice tribute to your pops to name it after him. My younger son recently had his first child and named him after me, that’s one of the best things that has ever happened to me! Considering I don’t know your dads name or your sons you may have already given your dad this honor, maybe Perfection🤩
Thanks
The Beast - you said it with the kids. Cool project.
Needs twin straight stacks really let that Cummins sing then
How about using a roll off bed as the base then it could be multi-purpose with interchangeable beds.
That's the perfect boat hauler. You gotta add LED light bars! And I would slap a camper on that "Jolly Green Giant" and you can go camping way off the beat'n path!
Nice project. No wonder you're excited. Can't wait for you to get started.
“The General”
Mike since it is double framed when you cut the frame and stretch it don't cut both double rails in the same place, stagger the cuts and then plate or triple the entire frame behind the cab since your going to be primarily off road
"This truck is going to get abused" @6:47. Was that a reference to Captain Kleenmen? BTW: You should put an hydraulic arm with a cable on the back, so that you can put a dump bed on the back, or maybe a flatbed, switch them out for different deliveries/loads. The kind backup to and pull up onto the back (Sorta like one of those trucks that drops a ben to fill with garbage). Truck Name: MegaDirt
Dog just looks at you pulling into your garage and thinks 'Dad's got another new project.' He see's the camera and thinks 'Oh, hello TH-cam.' 😂😂
The Beast!!!! You said it twice!!!!
Like it
I agree 👍
You could name it “ Army Strong” !!
Mike, I own one of these trucks. You can get many interior pieces from other models of international trucks like the eagle, the Pepsi holder in the dash is originally the ashtray, but it vibrates so bad that soda will slosh out of the can, it is much smooth to put the soda holder on the floor between the seats. The heater box is under the passenger seat, my truck actually had the air conditioning condenser coil in there. My engine is a big cam 2, 270 horse, I turned it up to 450 horsepower with different fuel pump, injectors aftercooler and pulse exhaust manifold keeping the the original Turbo. Yours should be a big cam 4 could be one of several horsepower settings, with step timing, the step timing was a crossover to the Cummins n14 electronic engine. The step timing will eventually give you problems but it can be eliminated in part, by changing the injectors and reworking the fuel pump.
I'd recommend extending the frame adding to the rear of the truck, that way the frame will be reinforced with the frame liners of the Hendrickson suspension.
Best of luck with the new truck
"The Hulk" might be a good Name for it. It's Green and Mean!
Put a removable dump bed so you still have 5th wheel as back up for the Mack
Hook lift
Your family video was perfect. 😆 foot dimmer.lol. I bet your family has never seen a phone with rotary dial 😆 🤣 .. Great video
You should name the truck six pak. Good luck . Looking forward to the build.🇨🇦👍
When you started talking about removing the 5th wheel, I figured either you were going to do a dumper or a street legal 6x6 excavator.
With the bed, you might be able to get away with not extending it if you set it up like a Silage bed, where the end of the bed extends behind the frame so the hinge is 4+ feet in from the end. It wont be good if you plan on feeding a paver, but it will put less strain on the frame as some of the load will be cantilevered behind the hinge, which means less force is needed in the lift cylinder.
Put full diff-lock on and find a bigger hill.
Awesome truck, went on the first ride with Mrs DP and the kids. Going to be the perfect dump truck. Perfect for basement jobs hauling dirt on a job site. Should come out as good if not better than Tiny.
And it's absolute Mint condition! Very nice find. I'm extremely jealous.
Thanks
Definitely an off-road beast. And a highway truck together good deal.
That is one awesome truck. Can't wait to see upcoming videos and can't wait to see man behind the scene and captains reactions to it
Mike I would get another fuel tank like the passenger side and move the air tank and battery box behind it after you stretch the frame. I agree Vintage air for the AC. I am for the dual stacks with flappers, you can still have a heated dump bed with them. I can't wait to see more on it. Good luck!!!!!
Love the way you think. Sweet truck needs a name.
Elvira - beautifully different
Thanks
"PAYDIRT"
Cool truck Mike. I'll be watching to see what you do with it.
That is an awesome name.
I agree, PAY DIRT. That reflects Pay Star and Dirt Perfect. And the term "pay dirt" has always had a positive meaning. When miners hit a rich vein, they had struck "pay dirt".
Cool, the family even got to go for a cruise 👍🏻
I am in a similar business in Louisiana I just purchased an MK 23 6 x 6 Oshkosh with a C 12 cat Allison seven speed 53 inch tires planetary gears at the wheel truck does 65 no problem loaded or empty are use it to pull by 40,000 pound excavator. I loaded the excavator on the trailer on soft ground it’s sunk to the axles. The truck did not even hesitate pulled it right out with no effort. The truck is an 07 with 7000 miles on it. Unbelievable Power. It has the central tire inflation system. The tires are used on 3 yard cat wheel loader. The tire size is 16.00R20. My plan is to make the body dump. The suspension is fully independent. The name of my company is By land or sea construction. We primarily drive pilings off of barges in the water. After watching your video of setting roof trusses with your homemade extension for the excavator. I built one quite similar telescopes out and gives me 48 feet of ridge. I think your videos are great. Good luck with the build. My truck has an aluminum cab fiberglass hood aluminum bumpers and there is a ton of stainless steel parts and fittings on the truck.
Awesome
Absolutely love it! The first upgrade has to be additional and proper cup holders for Pepsi cans! Or a Pepsi cooler. Have fun with it! Congrats on the find.
Yes sir
Your happy, and the truck is happy to find a good home, its excited to show you what it can do.
cant wait for the video of you taking on logger wade and tiny.this build is going to be great cant wait
Love watching your family enjoy it with you!
Yes! I'm excited about this build. Thanks for the videos. I Watch them all. Ron B Michigan
That's a pretty big smile you got there... same here. That's a beast of a truck... love it... EDIT: Oh yeah, that's some great videoing and editing on this one.
With it being a big bad military truck (heavily modified) and you are going to paint it green, I think "Sergeant Grinch" would be appropriate for a name. Either that or "Major Pain" since I'm sure the mods will be somewhat of a pain in the butt. Can't wait to watch this project as it develops. Stay safe dude.
lol like it
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! Cool Ole truck! Gotta have dual exhausts for balance! I do believe Mrs Dirt Perfect likes it! It will make a good addition to the Dirt Perfect fleet, good luck repurposing it.
Call her " Big Bertha ". Awesome project can't wait to watch man behind the scene try to get in it lol.
If your gonna mess with the rear axles I'd do it now since everything is all wide open. Build from bottom up. Work smarter not harder
and have to deal with doing the front axle too?
@@randalljames1 hes just talking about changing the rear to full locking axles, not re-gearing it so i think he'd he okay to just change the rear axles out
You are like a kid in a candy store. You made my morning and made me smile!🙃🙂❤️🎄🌲
Looking forward to see what you do. With your new rig.
Between you and kleeman “hay bud”
What Mike said about the rear axle power divider (inter-axle differential) is correct. I have listened to misinformed people describe how a power divider functions for all of my 50 years as a heavy truck mechanic in all kinds of incorrect ways. For the description below, ignore the fact that this Paystar has a driven steer axle, nothing about the steer axle is affected by the rear driver power divider.
As Mike said, the power divider "divides" the power equally between the first rear axle and the second rear axle (or more if equipped). Then the differential in each axle carrier further divides the power to the left and right wheels equally. So long as all 4 wheels have traction available, each wheel is putting power to the ground equally. If just 1 wheel loses traction, the other 3 wheels stop and the wheel that lost traction spins uselessly. When that happens you can say the spinning wheel is the only one being driven or "getting power".
Then, when you engage the power divider lock, you lock up the inter-axle differential and force power to be sent to both axle carriers. At that point the inter-axle differential loses its "differential capabilities and is now functioning as a driveshaft coupler instead. Even when both axles are locked together, if 1 wheel on each axle loses traction, you can end up with 2 spinning wheels and the vehicle still not move.
That is when it requires a differential lock in each axle carrier to guarantee that all 4 wheel positions will pull together in unison.
Thanks
Being its a military truck its had impeccable maintenance done on it. Hell its only got enough miles on it for two oil changes anyways
Yup
Trenches for the name. Idk I had trouble naming my kids. Lol
You have one monster of a truck. Cannot wait to see what you do with it.
Awesome I saw your excitement so happy for you folks🤙🏽❤️🌴🍍🌺🇺🇸
That’s is awesome! I vote for the name Miss America! Lol.
That's a beautiful beast that will go everywhere .nice project 💪💪 1 A BIG Winch 😋 then some kick ass spot lights and so on 🤣🤣🤣
I thought that would be your plan. We have one with a spreader body. It’s hard to get wives excited about trucks and tractors. 😜😁
I must be an anomaly! I love trucks and tractors, just don’t understand the details of the guts like you do.hubby had a 1909 Brush Runabout when we met and married. It was restored, had won many trophies at AACA meetings(his dad was a judge). It had been his grandfather’s sales car in the 20s-40’s.
What a fantastic project for you to do. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
Thanks
I want to see it pulling the 120 on the flatbed up that hill !! Great toy and future workhorse!
I like the Goose/ Geese air horn Gunner sounded off :)
Id definitely change that exhaust to something like the Mack, That puppy dog sounds so awesome. If it's going to be an off road truck, you going to need beefy tires like the ones that are on it, and a winch for when a machine gets stuck or the Mack. Just never know when you might need it.
I'm hoping that he puts in a dual-stack exhaust system and keeps the fifth wheel on it. And when I heard Cummins I got really excited.
You need to look on iron planet for a dump truck that is not running.
Antique truck guys use Vintage Air for A/C.
Vanderhaags Trucks and Parts has used dump bodies. And used lift axles.
Good idea to get DOT guy to help with axle spacing so you can haul the weight you need to. Sometimes putting extra wheelbase helps with interior or exterior bridge weight.
If you plan to haul a tri axle pintle hitch low boy, you need heavier tow plate than is on there now.
I like your company colors FWIW.
You forgot to mention double frame rail. That is a heck of a find, I'm guessing since it came from Colorado the previous guy figured jakes are a must. Definitely a solid project truck and I will apologize for the following wall of text. I like someone else's name suggestion of "Paydirt"
This is going to be an oddball suggestion, see if you can find a cable roll off hoist system or a hook lift system. I have used auxiliary hydraulics to power open gates on roll off boxes with a cable roll off system, so you can have your power tail gate. The plus side to the cable is you can use the hoist to yank a stuck machine or truck out with hydraulics instead of jerking with a chain, something I have done that a few times when I drove roll off for a few years in Wyoming.
I recently saw a video by lady out of Sweden: Razorkitten - Trucker Cassie here on TH-cam; use a hook lift truck and flatbed to haul an excavator on it, not something 120 sized but bigger than your mini cat. You can still yank trailers with either cable or hook lift, but given how much taller this truck is compared to your Chevy, dropping the box on the ground is likely the only way you will be able to load it with the smaller machines or if you have low over head clearance. Plus with a spare box, you could use it like a giant bucket to keep your gravel in, instead of dumping it on the street like the retaining wall job, which should save you time since you would have less to clean up.
I know its a more expensive option, but I think it would make the truck more versatile in the long run. I am going to buck the trend likely and suggest not putting diff locks in it, cause that will get you dozer stuck, which is when the only thing pulling you out is a dozer.
My old 81 chevy C30 has a foot dimmer switch, it's needing replaced cause once in a while when you dim the lights it will just turn the lights off
I've been there before,clicking it like a mad man trying to get them back on.
When you said it’s a Navy truck, I got an idea you’re gunna love! Navy uses blue for their famous color, do you see the correlation between you and blue?
I don’t mean just paint it blue, what I’m suggesting is to contact Pepsi headquarters, tell who you are & what you do, since you advise Pepsi on you channel. They will most likely sponsor you in a much bigger way, provide you a wrap for you truck, transporting it into a Pepsi billboard, of course you may become the PepsiMan of dirt! I’ve seen Red Bull sponsored vehicles on the road, and that a sight to see.
👍
Good idea. Double grill good 6-8' longer for a storage/toolbox behind the cab. plus making a sloped front of the box. Just suggestions
Excited for the build. Seeing its green and BIG the name HULK?.......
Keep the military theme going and call him sarge.
I'd call the old girl Betsy. Please keep Captain Kleeman away from the drivers seat! As soon as I saw it I thought dump truck. Looking forward to the build! 🚛👍👍👍
Mr. Dirt Perfect, it is fun to see a good guy get as excited as you did over the truck. Some people would look at it as a big hunk of old used metal.
The ability to Invision it as a greater thing is a great gift. 🙂 Yes there will be some frustrations 😬 on the project but, when you successfully complete the project the satisfaction is wonderful thing to experience.
A side note.
I work with wood and salvage wood I picked up on the side of the road and make it into something useful and sometimes beautiful. My wife did not understand why I waste my time and money on my project.
One day I told her that she spends her time and money on makeup to transform something old to become pleasing to look at. Believe it or not she sort of understands my point of view, no more guestions.
Have a great 2021 to you and family and friends.
Stay safe
Thanks Tim
Great looking truck. Can't wait to see all the videos. Good luck.
This is going to be good can't wait to see you get started
That truck just makes ya wanna play in the mud big time! lol
Being a Navy truck, and with the circular blackout spray paint on the door, I would guess that it's an old Seabee truck. If that's the case I would name it for one of the characters from, "The Fighting Seabees", like Wedge or Natasha.
As far as the decals go, company name on door, " Dirt Perfect" on the bed sides and add a Seabee logo somewhere.
Good idea
Yup a good winter project truck.. Top priority to make you a Pepsi can holder
This thing is awesome!!!!!
