I have a Chevy pickup truck it's from the past
Thank you wery much for your content, explain, your exellent work! But welding frame, for me, wan not so good. It needs to be welded from bouth sides, i understand that it was too hard, and will be a planty of work. This is a place with a much more load than we can imagine, couse of weight not only truck and car behind, but the road trash too - holes and hard hills.
37:53 ❤
Hey chris im an mot inspector over here in the uk just watched jens vid on the honda fix and was wondering what kind of inspections you guys have over there in the good ole US of A?
This has turned out to be my favorite automotive channel. Thanks!
Me too 💪
Me 3 😁
theres a new queen in town ...long live Jen
Great channel
Mine too! I have an ‘89 R3500 GMC flatbed diesel…
My dad was a heavy equipment mechanic and he had me learn how to fix things by letting me try and figure problems out on my own. When I just couldn’t figure it out he would show me how to fix it. I am not a mechanic by any means but I love to work on different projects here and there and this channel has reignited my interest. Thanks for the great videos man!
Keep the wrecker videos coming, I like to see you breath new life into her. Brings back memories when my dad had a towing service, Stan's Service out of Detroit. Thanks
My name is Don I'm from Chicago I love your videos you getting that tow truck right very nice job on that weld and frame have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
I love it as well the will start videos are cool but putting some cash into the ride making it usable is so cool and way better.
On a prior video on the C30 wrecker you showed a brief look at the frame. Seeing that you got to fixing
it in this video was awesome. Surprisingly the broken frame metal had only surface rust and your
perseverance in welding the clamped together broken parts and reinforcing them made them stronger than when new. There are many sites about rescuing old iron Chris, but none have matched your
intelligent approach to repairing these often abandoned machines !👍👍👍👍🏆🔧🔧🔧
I could watch you work for hours straight! Loving your content, the passion you put in what you do and the way you're able to share it with your spectators. Definetly the best channel if you're into this type of stuff! Greetings from Italy!
Thanks so much for the kind words Lorenzo in I greatly appreciate you checking the videos out. Much love from the USA
I completely agree
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow that oil filter mount you need is like 12 bucks brand new I would get a original gm part if possible I had and engine hurt when one of the after market filter mounts cracked on me I only use the GM performance parts ones now with no issues
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow put your logo on the tow truck instead of dubals...NNKNH...
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow after the welding did you paint with anticorrsive paint?
No one can accuse this guy of being lazy. Knowledgeable, crafty, thrifty, and sensible. Wish him all the success he deserves.
😂
I'll second that.
For a young guy, he has an amazing amount of mechanical and electrical knowledge of vehicles.
His interactions with Jen and Gus, is a joy to see. He is a good man and l wish him all the best for the future.
Absolutely....
Always up for some more wrecker repair video, I laughed my ass off when you were playing with the dog in the house swinging him back and forth with the blanket, I used to do the same thing with my dog and he loved it! Very cool memories 😎
Absolutely well-rounded videos, with a nice touch of personal fun with Gus
The perfect sign of happiness in home, is when dogs and cats are good friends ( 38:36 ); thanks for this lesson on broken frame, we need to do something similar, at the chevrolet suburban `89 broken frame. Saludos
Good morning Chris and Jen and of course thumbs UP!!👍
Don't forget Gus ‼️‼️
@@explosivebody1260 what about Turbo!
I bought an old wrecker back in 83 first week had to replace clutch , yes good memories repairing yes part 7 lol 👍
I enjoy watching your work on the wrecker. Very handy thing to have!
I was thinking I'd use a copper pipe as a sleeve to take up the slop and then you did. Good job, that should last a while!
This was a great video. I really enjoy your commentary as you restore this wrecker to a strong and usefull work-horse!
Thanks Harold
@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I too just wanted to say: and I don't comment on channels much, but I just have to tell you how much I'm enjoying all the hard work you're putting into your content!
I truly enjoy watching your thought processes, it helps me a lot with my old junk! I've learned so much!
I also deeply appreciate your attention to our interest in your content format. It's been extra work for you I'm sure but it's been great and appreciated!
I love getting exactly what I want to see with more available if I choose to at some time down the road. But this has been awesome!
I'm still only subscribed to your channel but that may change, your wife is a very talented person and musician, and I'm always glad to see families including their WHOLE family working together as as you can tell by my thumbnail: LOVE the pup shots which you keep to a very fun, reasonable distraction.
Sorry for rambling, but I just wanted you to know I see the hard work and appreciate it. Loving the whole format of this and the last couple video more than I can say. I think you've really found a niche here on YT over the other guys just trying to find gimmicks to just make $$$ (nothing wrong with making $$$, I just hate to see the pure pursuit of it consume people's content). I really feel like you have great knowledge to offer, and deeply appreciate it.
Thanks.
Great video, and Thank You !! for including Gus. I love the little guy.
Absolutely love your video's Chris... you make it "real".
You provide great inspiration to those of us who don't mind getting dirty and love to learn..hands on.
Keep up the great work.
May be the most satisfying video of your channel so far. These weldings !
That frame repair and shifter fix were incredible! You my friend are fearless! Those formed box pieces might be holders for the stinger spoons when they're not in use?
Yeah that could be. They're pretty light duty though
After I graduated out of high school years ago I used to drive a tow truck just about like that I can remember getting paid $1.25 an hour back then money went you could buy something but now you can't buy nothing I love your movie keep it up and God bless your family
yes love to see more on the tow truck ,,thanks
It amazes me how much stuff you have packed into such a small space.
Nice repair work. Gus is one of the cool kids and don't even know it. 😁
I would like to see more on that tow truck big supper fan of your channel I like the stuff you buy and fix keep up the good work thanks
Very cool to see your problem solving skills. I learned a lot watching this.
We use those links everyday on our chains and they are great, never had one fail ever.
Good to know. Thanks Pete.
It would be interesting to see a frame diagram of the C30 Wrecker in your video. This truck has a lot of utility!
That frame fix was sweet ! Truly a Jack of all trades I love to see the resourcefulness. Exactly how my dad and me are
Nice job fixing the tow truck cracked frame.For what it’s worth and just an observation,i noticed there were heavy rubber mounts missing between the frame and mounting brackets.May not make a difference but probably put less stress on your welds.You bolstered them up pretty well that they’ll last.Just thought I’d mention i saw them missing.Looking forward to watching next video.Thanks and Happy Holidays!!!
Ambitious hard working dude.
Hallo Chris. i most say. you are the best✊. i really enjoy watching your videos, Merry Christmas to You-Jen-Gusmann🤗.Turbo, and the chickens😊, Love from Denmark⛄
Man, I'd love to have an old wrecker like this.
EDIT: Does the brake booster work off of the power steering pump? I wouldn't expect the new PS pump to make the brakes that much better.
Yep, it's what's known as a hydroboost system - the hydraulic pressure of the power steering is essentially what give the brake booster its power
@@explosivebody1260 interesting. Seems like it'd be more prone to failure than using engine vacuum. I'm assuming that's why it never caught on.
@@Mikecom32 it was/is pretty common actually in bigger trucks - I know 03-10 dodge rams used it, along with 9th gen (2000 and onwards) chevy suburbans and silverados
I love this series on this truck
seen so many channels got new buildings and garages lately...you are a better mechanic~or at least,as good~as those guys..nice assortment of tools..and skills...i suspect youll be in a sweet garage soon
When I saw that poor attempt at the frames’ fish plate. The welder in me said,”get the fire wrench.” But the mechanic in you said air hammers. This channel is great; dog boat girl and projos. Killer combination!
Love this channel. Everytime it gets me amped to go and work on my stuff. Need to tinker on a '71 Caprice and I want to do more work on the '73 Impala.
A really good video proving that bags of cash aren't always required. More of this reusing and refurbishment would be good.
Great stuff man! Really cool to see Americana being saved.
Wrenching in the rain, soldering thru. Love the work ethos!
I look forward to a episode where you start talking about building yourself a garage! Always look forward to your new content you definitely deserve the garage of your dreams
Digging the wrecker videos. That thing is awesome!
One of my tow undereaches has spindle bearings on the pin for the pivot , it’s a Zack lift 10.000 pound capacity, koolthanks BigAl thanks.
brother u work very hard god bless you
Keep the good bits from the old straps that stuff makes good bump stop material for where metal hits against other metal, like the A frame that hits on the stinger, fix a bit in between where they meet.
This stuff is pretty dry rotted and beat. I use old tire rubber for a lot of that kind of thing
Good video Chris
Would like too see some off roading videos and maybe some camping in the mountains , keep them coming buddy .
Great video my friend, I hope you are feeling better too. Kind regards. Paul.
You took an unsafe wrecked wrecker and made a safe tow truck out of it. Good job.
You should install the fast idle cable inside the cabin because it may freeze up in ice this winter.
Very easy to get rid of the cooler adapter! For about 12 bucks at summit you can buy the filter adapter. 2 bolt with filter bypass built-in. Only trucks with the tow package came with that cooler adapter. From the mid 80s to 2000, none of the sbc had a threaded hole for the filter, used the same 2 holes as the cooler adapter.
Getting the Job Done! Best Viewing on the Internet!
You might already have one, but a great addition to an electric grease gun is a LockNLube coupler (not a sponsor). A little pricey, (around $30) but it works great and holds without struggling, especially in hard to reach spots.
Yeah I've seen them. They look pretty sweet. I always thought they look a little bulky though for getting in tight areas
Nice Video as always! :-) Can't wait for the next one. Greetings from Bavaria Germany
I enjoy the creative repair and welding. Thanks.
You are an amazing individual dude, I don't care how many parts of this record you make they are all fantastic keep up the good work, give us a kiss and a hug from me and God bless you guys.
You sir are my latest subscription and my favorite TH-camr to watch! Thank you for your videos bro!
I'm a military vet and this stuff is just what I need to get me through the weeks
You love that wrecker and so do we! Thank you for the great content!
Great video Chris, yes please show us more on that truck, it is nice to see it getting better and better
Great Video! Keep fixing it up. Way to bring back something and make it useful again.
Loving the reno on this truck...Awesome!
Looks good, shouldve thrown some paint on the welds for rust protection
I hate to say it but I watched Jen’s video before this one. She’s amazing
Man you be welding on everything! Lol . Great job in fixing that wrecker up ! You have a lot of mechanical knowledge and deserve your own garage . Love watching you videos man ! Keep them coming !
You just can't help yourself ,,! another great video ,thanks you two
Yes I want to see it fix and hope you’re getting the ROI in return. As always enjoy the video keep it coming! 👍🤗
LMC truck catalog would be a good resource to get yourself a new floor mat and seat cover. That seat would be easy to have an upholstery shop rebuild it. A clean comfortable cab along with a shifter that works properly or make all the difference.
Enjoying the tow truck videos. Nice to see it inching its way back to fully functional. Keep these videos coming!
NNNH,you are the BEST,you repair the old,broken and forgotten, not those easy to repair new vehicles, never miss a video. (Merry Christmas boss.)
Your videos are awesome. I learn a lot of stuff from you. Keep them coming.
That utility bed would make an awesome truck bed trailer.
People that dont live where we do will never understand the struggle with rust 🙁
Great stuff dude! It's always cool to see old stuff get new life breathed into it.
Look up the bowline knot. It's the rabbit/hole one. The point of it is it will always come loose even with a ton of force. I've used that knot to make a loop in a tow strap to pull a bobcat out of a ditch and it still comes untied.
I use that a lot on rope. But I've found that with webbing it binds and is hard to come loose
I agree it's more difficult, but I've never had one I couldn't get out. Love the videos, I've been a mechanic for 30+ years and usually car repair videos are the last thing I'd ever watch in my free time, but yours are different from most. Cheers to not being a fake douche like so many others on youtube!
Great Job, thanks for bringing us along !
Excellent video.I enjoyed the whole thing.I think you did a great job on that frame.
Nice hat collection they look warm & toasty
Love watching your work and vehicles , the others out there ? - like watching 14 year olds .... thanks !!! 🙂
Good to see you using that wheel lift to your advantage saves you a lot of pumping from the jack. Those welds on the frame and extra plating will hold for a lifetime. This old truck will still be good for any work you may throw at it now that you fixed those things.
Keep it coming I think it’s kool you got your own Wrecker
I wish we were neighbors so many projects could be did. Great video keep them coming.
Great job on the repair, it will last!
When using the wheel lift with flat tires lift the car then set it in some 4x4's then readjust the lift arms.
Good job!! If you're wondering I watch all your videos on a big screen TV on my wife's account..lol so I do watch the vids alway through most of the time !!
I like that wrecker wayyyyy more than I ought to lol
Keep them coming! I love to watch your videos. Yes, keep up the videosbfor this wrecker!
Just finished the video. Great job fixing keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻
I never thought those hook connectors were very strong either, cant remember what they are called. But when I was logging we used them to repair broken chains, we put alot of tension on them and they hold well!!
Enjoy the videos keep it up brother let’s see some more content on that tow truck
Love the channel. You’re getting better with every video. Content is killer. Got to respect your knowledge. I’ve learned a lot from your content.
Love your tow truck it is coming out pretty good. All the fixing you are doing is big upgrade. From Houston Texas.
You may want to go in and remove that bypass valve from the oil filter housing. Whereas it's going to let some oil through I get the feeling The volume's going to be at least somewhat restricted by it.
Great video and work on the wrecker, want more😃💪👌
Them brckets you had no clue about are the deck mounts for your L arms to lay them out nice on the body insted of them banging around
Melling makes an oil filter adapter to replace the oil cooler setup. Only downside is that the oil filter size also changes.
id drive that rig everywhere !
for those metal pieces just a wild guess, maybe as protection barriers for suspension components on customers cars when towing ?
The wrecker is pretty cool!
Nice work Chris! Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks John
Great job, doing your video. You have a gift of knowledge, and having fun fixing cars. Keep up the good work. I have watched all your videos.
Great video! That truck is awesome!
Woo! Great video ! I enjoy the channel a bunch!
Looks cold out that way, 24this morn eldorado county CA, no snow yet. Keeper Rollin,hi max,hi Jenn. Love devo
