First things first. I love the beard! Not in any way weird, just think it suits you! Second, this build keeps getting better as you get deeper into it. By the time you're finished, it should look gorgeous, and be very practical. Thanks Rich, for giving someone who no longer can, the joy of modifying and building something, without having to get out and get under, as I can't anymore! Thanks from UK.
Hey. If you want to remember your measurements I've got a great device that attaches to your measuring tape. It's a real boss of a thing. Got two still in the blister :)
This is going to be so cool. It's already expanding and getting better :) This just reminds me to keep at my '72 D500 and get it back to road worthy again.
I feel ya dude. I grew up in Southern Ontario as well. The salt just murders vehicles. When I moved to BC, I couldnt believe that vehicles could stay rust free for life. Desert cars for the win!
I know we will never see your wife and kids on here and that’s a good thing, but I would love to see the look on her face when you bring something else home lol. Keep up the great work
I like your approach to repourpising the old brackets the time it would take to make those would be alot and expensive. Its metal at the end of the day if it works it works
I drove a tandem axle roll off with the twin cylinder reeving system. It is the American style system it works, uses more cable than the single cylinder set up which is a patent design here in B.C. The rails on yours are designed for low clearance. Roll off trucks are handy as hell. I prefer conventional rail over hook lift on big trucks. The hinge system on your rails are for stability the problem with that system it turns into an anchor when you sink in the landfill. I doubt the Fargo will see a landfill or soft ground 😂
Are you going to video racing back to the scrap yard and getting the hydraulic reservoir? Also, NEVER narrow up a 102" wide flatbed when you mess with heavy stuff. This project is still cool as can be!!
It sounds like you went to Africa possible mission trip. Great to see you made it back all in one piece even though the beard looks great! Great stuff looking super amazing job. All the best from Surrey BC Canada
OH MY GOD!!!!!! THE HUMANITY!!!!! poor little truck. i love your videos rich. i'm not sure who would have ever thought using a log splitter to see if those hydralics still worked.
It's your build but i cried when you torched all those tie down points off of that bed. I have a 24' 12t tilt trailor with only 6 which is never enough.😢 I am actualy adding side rails. Whish you were closer.
Always impresses me how much solo heavy lifting you do, if i could do any of that i definitely would end up breaking/hurting myself😅 caps off to you rich, ps you suit a beard cant wait for the Africa videos
With the amount of restoration and sand blasting you're doing, you should seek a sponsorship with one of those Chinese high-power laser rust vaporisers; no mess, no sand clean, shiny metal.
Just use some cheap light pine or fir boards for the flatbed deck and soak them in used oil every once in awhile, they’ll never rot and it’ll give them a nice dark old look 👍
I bought a land plane at an auction for $50 it was set up to be pulled with a 3-point, I wanted to pull it with my pickup so I used a log splitter and plumbed it in to a hyd cyl then I had a elect hyd valve that I hooked up a wireless winch controller in and set up a trailer 7 blade plug so I could get 12v from my trailer tail light feed. Worked great just had to be carefully not tofully extend or retract the hyd cyl as it would kill the log splitter engine
There's nothing wrong with going overboard on a build that you're enjoying, your that much more likely to use it and get the time and money you spend in it than if you go halfway on it, full send is the only way to get it there sometimes
What if for the hitch plate braces, instead of bolting them to the side rails you build link mount's similar to one used for suspension, and used pins for a quicker connect/disconnect? Don't put any of the required lighting on that plate, if a trailer isn't being used for a trip, leave the plate secured in the up out of the way position so you don't have to mess with it when you get to the destination and unload.
Standard hitch plate on frame would be fine. Plenty of equipment trailers already would reach the distance under the roll off. You would loose too much tow rating with that much hitch setback. DOT in the states would never leave you alone.
When doing a project like this you need to avoid breaking the law of diminishing returns. The more time effort and resources you spend on recovering something the cheaper it gets to just buy a new one.
Why don't you guys get a knuckle boom/palfinger crane truck for lifting and manipulating stuff in the yard? Would make it so much easier for things like picking that rolloff up off the chassis etc, especially one with a remote control

Beard at the end looks good, it ages you down for some reason 😆
was thinking the same thing, almost looked like a whole different person.
Yeah beard fits him
Gotta be the only person I've ever seen that facial hair makes a guy look younger LOL
That's all I need, and this lamp, and this ashtray, that's all I need.
Level of feature creep on this build is truly outstanding! 🤣 Love it!
The rationalization of expanding the project hits close to home.

You know, someone should make a thing so you can easily record measurements without needing your phone...
If you know, you know ;)
Maybe even a way to remember a couple of measurements while you’re working.
@@cornboy3Blasphemy
It'd be nice if it attached to the tape measure 🤔😉
😂
Nice! So glad you stuck to your guns and kept this a quick, budget build...😉

Thank you Deboss for all the great videos.
U do something great work with a fantastic attitude.
The Fargo is cool as hell!!
FARGO all day. everyday. Love the series, keep it coming!
The motivation I needed to go outside and work on my project! Thank you Deboss!
Great idea with the claw having the magnet in the center. Never seen that yet.
@15:00 Picks up the truck w/ claw and then the iron scrap.
Something satisfying about the crane taking the old truck apart.
27:40 is that Chace Barber?
I know we will never see your wife and kids on here and that’s a good thing, but I would love to see the look on her face when you bring something else home lol. Keep up the great work
That roll-off is in good condition... the sacrificial panels did their job.
After all that work you could have just left the trailer that bit wider.
I like your approach to repourpising the old brackets the time it would take to make those would be alot and expensive. Its metal at the end of the day if it works it works
Love your builds and how you reuse so many parts and pieces.
Seeing Rich with a beard, damn!
Looks good on you! For real!
love the air tank analogy.

Rich KEEP THE BEARD!
28:09 hope the beard is here to stay 👍
Pure gold; thanks, Rich!!
Are you going to video racing back to the scrap yard and getting the hydraulic reservoir?
Also, NEVER narrow up a 102" wide flatbed when you mess with heavy stuff.
This project is still cool as can be!!
Incredible, Jaw dropping video guys. that's going be one sick truck.
Deboss sandblasting method ! Drag it flat across the gravel !!! 🤣🤣
It sounds like you went to Africa possible mission trip. Great to see you made it back all in one piece even though the beard looks great! Great stuff looking super amazing job. All the best from Surrey BC Canada
That will be a great truck!
Beautifull build!
OH MY GOD!!!!!! THE HUMANITY!!!!! poor little truck. i love your videos rich. i'm not sure who would have ever thought using a log splitter to see if those hydralics still worked.
Significant cheers. Love your videos. Love your content. Cheers from Hamilton Ontario
This is an adventure for sure. I didn't see the end of your electric car build. Good video.
It's your build but i cried when you torched all those tie down points off of that bed. I have a 24' 12t tilt trailor with only 6 which is never enough.😢 I am actualy adding side rails. Whish you were closer.
I'm really happy you're going all out
Holy crap, that Sennebogen scrap handler is a monster! It picked up that poor truck like it is nothing! 😲
Hydraulics are amazing at what they can do
Rich, you won't complain about Ontario rust after you've worked on vehicles in St John's, NL.
Digging the beard…….. got the Ron Howard vibe going!!!! Video is great too btw
Always impresses me how much solo heavy lifting you do, if i could do any of that i definitely would end up breaking/hurting myself😅 caps off to you rich, ps you suit a beard cant wait for the Africa videos
Been waiting months for this made my day
Very cool!! Btw, check out how the Japanese rollbacks work, theyre excellent for low vehicles!
Good job!
Honestly my favorite vehicle\HD build
epair channe! How are you only 750+K subs, gotta get a video in with Matt Carriker and jump that Million hurdle.
I truly need to follow you 😉. Thanks for sharing 😊.
With the amount of restoration and sand blasting you're doing, you should seek a sponsorship with one of those Chinese high-power laser rust vaporisers; no mess, no sand clean, shiny metal.
Looking good 👍👍
Lights on the gator are blinding 🦯🦮
what the hell beard suits u very well! keep it!
Love watching yr videos Brother definitely like old school Trucks
Never run out of rust
Just use some cheap light pine or fir boards for the flatbed deck and soak them in used oil every once in awhile, they’ll never rot and it’ll give them a nice dark old look 👍

Worked great just had to be carefully not tofully extend or retract the hyd cyl as it would kill the log splitter engine
My man that beard makes you look like a totally different person, looks great!
I drive that exact same deere for snow plowing in the winter
god I love this channel
I need to copy the hitch design . Hope u film it in details 💪🏼
The "might as wells" will kill a guy hahaha!
Seeing Rich pull out his phone to record the measurement immediately made me think of the tape buddy... lol
You could make the side rails swing up from below and latch in place.
Dissapointed that you didn’t pass through Zimbabwe but I accept this as an apology😂
Rich really needs a telehandler for all the stuff he gets up to now days😂 the poor Kubota is maxxed out.
AWESOME !!!!
That demolition crane is one bad a$$ machine. 👍👍
11:43 Someone should make a product, that helps you remember your measurements ;)
11:44 where's the tapeboss?
need to do a sweet tail board with deboss and lots of lights maybe the whole truck have dual function lights
You can do a hydraulic extendable tow bar like a tow truck has to carry the weight. Not sure if they have that in na either?
dont forget your "safety squints " lol
African trip, beard life Rich

I feel like I've been rich rolled. 😊
This music reminds me of 90s weather channel music
It's kinda weird seeing a gator that nice. We've got a bunch at the mine, and quite frankly they get beaten pretty bad underground
Get some hemlock for the deck
finally!
I think your in the business of making me look bad 😅
11:39 - Isn't that what the Tape Boss was for? 😅
Standard hitch plate on frame would be fine. Plenty of equipment trailers already would reach the distance under the roll off. You would loose too much tow rating with that much hitch setback. DOT in the states would never leave you alone.
Poor international 😭😭 it didn't deserve that someone could have used it
11:53 if only you had a tape boss😊
See if you can fond some apitong wood for the deck on the flatbed
How will the bed slide out, because that’s a crazy load angle?
Slide to 15:00 minutes if you're here for the destruction!
14:49 sounds kinda like you have a flat or a flat spotted tire
Ok hitch idea: forget bolting the braces, use three point pins and maybe even some lift links for your braces. Easy peasy pin it on and off.
What, or who gave you the ability to create such projects and think them through to the end?
Did you grab the muffler shield❔️❔️❔️ ✌🏻 🧡 🇨🇦.
Got that @briansmobile1 look going on with the beard Haha.
The perfect roro is a hiab hook lift. Bugger rolling bins. But RORO's are extinct in Australia and na only has non jibbable hook lifts.

It's going to look fucking mint bud as Peg would say from ZIP TIES BIAS PLIES!
How much ?…….. we mouth breathing derelict’s say….. “all of it”…… why? Cause we’re stunned. 😎
What kind of black paint did you use?
Rustoleum
I think you need more projects --- ;)
Why don't you guys get a knuckle boom/palfinger crane truck for lifting and manipulating stuff in the yard? Would make it so much easier for things like picking that rolloff up off the chassis etc, especially one with a remote control
low and behold, a CAT 3208 & 5sd does fit in a 1994 ford thunderbird car. the frame doesn't even bottom out... trar
The “Cargo Fargo”.
Dont forget to go vote folks this government i belive wants to make these old trucks and cars a thing of the past. Vote red
