There doesn’t seem to be a day that you don’t work very hard for yourself or somebody else. You and the Mrs. are great people thanks for taking us along. Tom
The virus has taken this mans job but he isn't sitting around waiting for a handout. Lot of folks are. Sounds like he is very resourceful and is working his butt off trying to make it. Going to be an interesting build. These are the people you don't mind helping because you know they really appreciate it.
Excellent video keep up the great videos 👍👍👍👍it's nice to see you helping out your friend I know how that goes too it's a good morale boost when you are helping some one that is trying their best to make a go of things
You're a good man JC. Helping a friend like you are is a noble, sincere and meaningful gesture. God bless you for all you do in showing what real values in life consist of. As always you show excellent work in every project you tackle.
Last year my dad bought me a dumpster business that came with a 1997 international 4700 with a stellar shuttle hook lift and a few dumpsters. Turns out the truck was trashed so we bought a 2005 Kenworth T300. We did all the work swapping the hook lift over from the international to the KW ourselves. I learned a lot about trucks and hydraulics doing that, but the most important thing is the memories I’ll have doing that with my dad.
Hi mr Jc from the U.K., all I can say is your one in a million and I’m not forgetting mrs Jc in that remark both of you are and we need more like you both, keep up the great work and you have my vote, markUK
👍👌👏 Very well done again! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
JC,I know you don’t fish for compliments,I wish I was as knowledgable and resourceful, in anyone’s mind alone that is one of a heck of a job to undertake,but spurred on to help your friend. I’m glued to the screen during this very cold spell of cold weather here in the Uk.
Looks like this man is of a real need and your able at this time to help up a decent man. I used to load scrap dumpsters when I was teenager and it is really not easy work. Its good ju ju. I just hope it all works out
Such a great project. I love your "pay it forward" philosophy. I am not a mechanic, but love mechanical things. I always pay it forward and lately it has come to fruition. I'm nursing myself back to being active after rupturing my quadricep tendon. My neighbors have really stepped up to help me. I'm extremely grateful. My driveway is always plowed. All the best to you guys.
Nice understanding of what needs to happen and the fabrication skills to back that up. And you are a kind and generous person to other people in need. Thank you for helping others out. You are appreciated.
Watching your videos always makes me proud of being a part of the spirit that makes America or any country GREAT !!!! I also got my chuckle for the day listening to your "filming director" fret over the lighting placement!! HaHaHaHa Careful, wouldn't wanna loose her help. :-)
i tell people all the time.....a better america starts with better americans.....it all starts when the guy in the mirror makes a change. hopefully it inspires others.
I just enjoy watching the different projects that you get into and how you fabricate a lot of your stuff with no no guidelines whatsoever other than how it has to be and you make it look really nice and professional
Starting one of my future planned projects. My plan is a salvaged dump mechanism and a badlands electric winch. Your friend could also set up box truck boxes to help people move household goods like a load it yourself moving service. Glad to watch you and learn before I start. Really enjoy your channel and learn alot thank you.
JC Smith I look at you for a reason and thank you for when the words are being said am I my brothers keeper and in time of need, especially in the times we are Enduring with this virus. We all needs each other and the words to really mean am I my brothers keeper... thank you to you and your wife and god bless you both
Nasty fuel. Nice made bracket 👌. Lack of maintenance on that truck. Good friends help out , friends stay away cause they don't want anything to do with, 👍
Looking good J.C.! Nice job fabricating the bracket for the pump. It should last a good long time. Since you might be replacing the rear axle, what about the front one. I know that it’s not my truck, but I hate those damn Dayton wheels/hubs. Had several trucks over the years with them, and never really cared for them.
i have another front axle with "ball and seat", buds, stud pilot wheels...(whatever you want to call them) i am going to see if the front hubs will interchange. the axle wont because the truck has 3" springs and the donor has 2 1/2" springs.
I agree completely. Most of my equipment is at least 30 years old, and as long as you maintain it properly, and not abuse it, it should last a lifetime.
Sure you don't have one closer to what needed? You are kind at heart helping. I do not know what happened with the Chevy rebuild, hope that went well for all concerned.
Its nice that you are able to help someone down on there luck. Im a few days late watching. I know with my tractor i did an alternator conversion from scratch and my belt drives the water pump and now the alternator vs the generator. My bracket when building it i don't have a good way of bending 1/8 flat bar 1inch wide so i stair step welded it. Kept doing it till i got something that looked alright then welded it to base mounting bar. It has a slight twist like 5° and the pulley that came on the 60 amp 1 wire i downsized it by 1/4 to 1/2 inch range to get a high alternator shaft speed since i run mostly lower throttle plus i wasnt sure on belt travel speed already on my tractor vs what the alternator wants. I dont run tractor long hrs but its good after 2 yrs ruffly
great project I was in a debris moving business and was doing the same thing trying to use the f550 rollback and it just didn't have the angle to dump it helped but spent a while in there with a pitchfork I'm looking forward to seeing this project appreciate your videos
I built one years ago. You don't need much height if the bin rolls easily. I used my dump truck and put a bit of an angle on the front of the bin to get it lifted up. If you use a telescoping ram you get more power than a pair of straights and you don't need a pulley system. A used dump hoist would be fine. Also look at skip loaders. Very simple way to get a bin up on a truck without needing a hoist at all. Some heavy wall tubing, a few pins and bushings and a winch.
I'm glad you are changing the two speed rear end.I had the same truck and rear end leaked thru the axle housing under the spring perches.I guess it was commonf for the square tube axles that year.I liked the round one piece housings better.
How ya doing bud this truck is that guy ya was talking about that lost his employment from covic on your live stream. So anyways I'm glad to see ya and I know as usual it will be great so again glad to see ya and godbless bud
Awesome fabrication on the brackets!! I really don't like how high that hydraulic pump is. Hydraulic pumps like head pressure, they will draw lift, but not dependably. This is why heavy equipment with high main pumps use charge pumps to supply the main pump with fluid under pressure.
i was concerned about that also. to make it work well and last, i am mounting the tank above the pump in the framework that will hold the tarp system. this will put it higher than the pump.
Hello JC. You might already know this, but I thought it might be worth mentioning. I own a 1988 International S1700. It had manual steering and I converted it to power steering shortly after purchasing it. Right behind the alternator there is a plate on the back of the timing cover. If you remove the plate a gear driven hydraulic pump can be bolted up and run off the cam gear. I know that might not be ideal for this build since it constantly pumps when the engine is running, but I assume it could have other applications. Works great for the power steering. Also that valve that is on the crossmember above the rear axle, is that the tractor protection valve you referred to? My truck has one in the same place. Keep up the good work!
yes, i am aware of the block off plate. i also have a crank driven pump that spins all the time but i thought the clutch pump would work out the best....who knows? i guess we will see if theory and reality are close huh?
Going to be quite the chore. I used to build Roll offs for a canadian company. You going to build your own slide rails and lift system? interested to see how your going to keep it low as cost as possible and accomplish the needs.
look at all the work i am doing to tis truck before i start on the rolloff part in order to make it safe....do you really think i would build something that is not of the same caliber?
Hello J.C. quick question...why mount the control valve to the rear ? Normally the outside controls are behind the cab on roll-offs and have in cab controls as well . Are you doing a traditional roll off with cylinders on both sides ? Does he have the rails with rollers already or are you fabricating that as well ?
he needs to be able to control the winch and lift from the rear. he has to be at the rear to hook up tot the trailer dumpster. definitely not a typical set up but i think it should work.
@@j.c.smithprojects i worked on them for 10 years..all dual axle tho..changed more than my share of winch cables lol . My only thought on the controls to the rear are..if he only has the controls in the rear..it's more dangerous than by the cab..if the can wasnt lined up with the rails properly should it slide off . If the rails are up all the way to lift the can on..your tail on the cable normally has 6 feet of slack to hook up..no real need for use of the controls . Again..it's just something to consider..it's your project my friend...look forward to seeing your finished project..tc
the way i am thinking of doing the rails on the trailers should make it very safe. the controls will be just like running a rollback. out far enough away from the deck to be out of harms way yet still see what is going on. this is no different than any other new project....there is a difference in theory and reality. we will know exactly what works and what doesnt by the time we are done for sure!
@@j.c.smithprojects Yeah, design flexibility is essential. There is a difference between theoretical and real world, especially on this sort of specific-duty build.
Another build where you build it the way you want it for your self only better. It will be one of those things where you you use old stuff you have on hand but go the extra mile when you have to buy something for it. You buy it yourself or wait until they can afford it. You usually buy it now and worry about compensation later. I do that more often than I can count. But I have a friend that I don't have to worry about getting a hack job by some hacker for less.
i decided to put the tank above the pump height of the pump and in the stand for the electric tarp assembly. should have a good fall from that location.
I couldn't tell but you should have a check valve on the suction side of that pump. Preferably close to the tank. That's the problem with a pump higher than than the tank. Surplus center is a good source for components .
a good friend of mine is a hydraulic guru. he said the pump would be hard to prime. i thought of mounting the tank above the frame and higher than the pump would solve that issue. i am going to have an electric on a frame behind the bad. i was thinking of putting it in that framework.
This looks like a cool project Im looking forward to watching this thru the entire build... Do you think that a F650 would be a good choice for a 14 ft. box truck with lift gate..? also at what point do you start getting a better motor than a power stroke in a Ford F series cab chass
in current model years it is f650 and larger that offer other engines outside the ford / international options. i dont see why it wouldnt work ok with a 14' box and a gate.
@@j.c.smithprojects Sweet! I always wanted to make a hook lift for my Isuzu. A switch and go is basically a dump frame with a winch seems easy enough to build. Having a bed for everything on one truck is the way to go. I'm excited to see that build!
This is going to be a good project looking forward to seeing the next video. Where are you from? I subscribed to Sumter wrecker channel. Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina.
Im working on a truck just like this one, good ol dt466 mechanical injection. I just need to find out what to use to seal the joints on the 3 piece exhaust manifold. The engine was rebuilt at some time in the past and the exhaust manifold used was rusty and ran loose for many miles, so the slip fit of the manifold sections is like a hot dog down a hallway:) I bought some exhaust system joint sealer in a tube, maybe high temp rtv? probably too hot for that rtv. anyone have experience?
I always thought it was funny that on the DT and 9 liter trucks both IH decided they needed 4 9/16 V belts to run the water pump, but only 1 to run the air compressor. The 9 liter in my buddies s1954 single axle dump you’re always having to tighten the compressor belt up because that single belt starts to slip at about 105 psi when you’re running 2,000 rpm and above, which is 98% of the time on a 9 liter. Wish they’d at least put a double belt on them.
I have spoken to at least one guy who was running a roll off truck and he "TOLD" me that he was making good money with it, so going by that one guy, your friend could make good money if he has the customer base lined up, but what do I know? I was running a box truck.
I work for similar business. They make good money by having a tight contract that allows them to charge extra for extra demand (trailer over-loaded, special contents, etc.).
He’s doing the best he can with what he has. I think he’s going to be fine with that work ethic.
Helping someone in need is very honorable, that's a subscribe!

You do a lot of good work
Nasty fuel. Nice made bracket 👌. Lack of maintenance on that truck. Good friends help out , friends stay away cause they don't want anything to do with, 👍
Coming together quickly and looks great under the hood too! Take care Mr and Mrs JC
Looking good J.C.! Nice job fabricating the bracket for the pump. It should last a good long time. Since you might be replacing the rear axle, what about the front one. I know that it’s not my truck, but I hate those damn Dayton wheels/hubs. Had several trucks over the years with them, and never really cared for them.
i have another front axle with "ball and seat", buds, stud pilot wheels...(whatever you want to call them) i am going to see if the front hubs will interchange. the axle wont because the truck has 3" springs and the donor has 2 1/2" springs.
Excellent. I’m sure that whatever you figure out, it will be a nice dependable work truck!
@@j.m.buckendorf4616 As long as he takes care of it. New life from old equipment can be a good deal.
I agree completely. Most of my equipment is at least 30 years old, and as long as you maintain it properly, and not abuse it, it should last a lifetime.
pump brackets came out looking great 👍 sounds like its going to be a bit of a unusual setup, look forward to seeing the end result.
it is going to be different. hopefully it will function well.

This is a project that needs a GoFundMe page, poor guy lost his job in and all
Im working on a truck just like this one, good ol dt466 mechanical injection. I just need to find out what to use to seal the joints on the 3 piece exhaust manifold. The engine was rebuilt at some time in the past and the exhaust manifold used was rusty and ran loose for many miles, so the slip fit of the manifold sections is like a hot dog down a hallway:) I bought some exhaust system joint sealer in a tube, maybe high temp rtv? probably too hot for that rtv. anyone have experience?
i would just get a good used one. im sure there is an aftermarket company like "pdi" that make one.
I always thought it was funny that on the DT and 9 liter trucks both IH decided they needed 4 9/16 V belts to run the water pump, but only 1 to run the air compressor. The 9 liter in my buddies s1954 single axle dump you’re always having to tighten the compressor belt up because that single belt starts to slip at about 105 psi when you’re running 2,000 rpm and above, which is 98% of the time on a 9 liter. Wish they’d at least put a double belt on them.
i agree completely.
ya know damn well if ole peg could get his hands on those bias plies hed take em

If he wants to dump them on the cheap. Just make gin poles and a winch, that will lift the trailer straight up to dump it.
another problem is the trailers themselves are in worse condition than this truck. taking them off the road and being hauled is a much safer option.
I have spoken to at least one guy who was running a roll off truck and he "TOLD" me that he was making good money with it, so going by that one guy, your friend could make good money if he has the customer base lined up, but what do I know? I was running a box truck.
I work for similar business. They make good money by having a tight contract that allows them to charge extra for extra demand (trailer over-loaded, special contents, etc.).
@@kevinhornbuckle I am glad that someone with actually experience could chime up, all I had was hearsay from a guy I ran into at a fueling station
Ol peg would run that fuel in slave lake
Ok
Too bad I wasn’t rich. I’d buy him one of your 750’s
So you never explain how to make a roll off truck...
I wish I live closer I would love to help for free I love thing like this
