Justin and I build a sweet Roll bar for the CUCV. Also I catch myself on fire again... no big deal.. Don't forget to grab your JH Merch at www.baldeagle.com
The reason why the roll bar back in the day was taller is so your lights would shine in front of your truck not way down the road. With it level the cab is going to block the light causing a big shadow in front of you.
My '79 F350 had a twin loop/ long kicker in chrome with the 4 BIG square KC's forward, 4 small pointed to the back, 2 amber rotators, and a small KC to each side. And yes 130amp alternator and dual batteries. Wish I still had that truck. The 429 could move mountains at just off idle. I swapped it from a 400m
@jh diesel and 4x4 bro if you want the best out of those kc lights get another so you have 6 and make it where you have 2 sideways 2 backwards and 2 frontwards. That is the best setup for offroding because at night you will be able to see 360 all around you no problems no blind spots and so on. Great job on the rebuild
Awesome truck, good job on the roll bar, but please clean the leaves out of that bed! Its been killing me since you bought the truck! Thanks man, keep the vids coming ;)
I did custom exhaust for about 5 years. Got very acquainted with one of those machines. Also wadded up plenty of pipe learning to do shit backwards, and sometimes certain bends have to come first. Looks damn good man
I've been there before. Burned a few shirts. That's why I don't stand in line with the grinder anymore. Also I love the look. Did something similar to my '88 F-150. I went with the drip-rail clamp style mount like the old patrol cars and department trucks used instead. I still want to be able to install a camper shell and some point.
Im looking at building one right now because i cant find one. Did you use 3” exhaust pipe? I was thinking of doing the same thing for my f150 since it wont be taken offroad on trails. My squarebody is different that ones getting sent offroad and down trails if its ever reliable enough to make it to a trail
Not the nitpick your work there Justin it should have been a double bar go straight down into the bed and then the down bars should have went back up onto the fender Wells that would have looked like an old school Chevy from the Fall Guy!
Fire shirt...EPIC! Laughed through the first 5 minutes and then a replay. Need to ad that tagline to every shirt. "Shirt may catch fire. JH shirts are not fire retardant."
how much different would it be to make the rear bars end on the front angled part of the wheel well? I want one but It's cant be in between the wheel wells as I need to use the truck to be a truck. I had a 77 Chevy C10 Chevy sport that came factory with a rollbar that was done that way. It wasn;t for rollover just to hold lights. It has an AUX lights switch where the normal dual tank switch was. Made it real convenient to tie down tall stuff like a fridge....lol I'd like one like that one on my Current C20. how much do you think it would cost to have someone make that for me?
I like the idea, but I would gone with the loop going down the floor, and standing over the cab. But then again for a project that didn't work out I got roof lights that came off a newer jeep.
Justin take off the snorkel and fabricate one from 3" stainless tube we do heaps here in Australia you can also do a steel one and paint to the same as your light bar.
I graduated in 1988 my old farm truck looked like that, i wish i still had that truck and probably would if i didn't get run off the road and filp it 4x
On a side note, are those tires that you sat the KC lights on open country rt's or ridge grapplers? And do you like the way they ride as far as road noise and comfort?
My 1979 chevy K20 had triple role bars 454 big block . Turbo 400 an cast-iron transfer case. Two tone brown tan . It looked like the . Tv show falls Guys truck
Love the retro 80s look! Being an 80s kid this is what I grew up dreaming of owning!

We kinda figured that out. But we’re working on it. Lights haven’t been hooked up yet. But we will test em when done
@@JHDieseland4X4 could make "u" shaped brackets instead of tabs to lift the lights a bit, pretty easy solution.
Only if the lights are flush mounted to the pole. Using a bracket to secure them may raise them up enough to avoid this scenario. Good looks tho.
"Your on Fire Ricky Bobby." 🔥
Trust me your not the only one who has ever done that.
I’ve done it with shirts, shorts, pants, name it. Lol, also shout out to Florida Man welding in Crocs
@@Andrewlang90 yea how about a desertman that does it bearfooted
I’m diggin the whole, keep old school looking old school thing you have going for this truck.
Truck is looking bad ass!!!! Love the ole school look for sure.

My guy is welding in crocs!? True Florida man... plus I love the exhaust pipe roll bar. Haha. That'll hold up great!
Better probably, than the bedside its bolted to
Proof those t-shirt's are made with quality cotton!
That bar is sick. I’m totally an 80’s kid too. Grew up with this look
HELL YEAH BROTHER make it look like the truck on FALL GUY doesn't get any better
Now you definitely need a “Your not on fire Ricky Bobby shirt” cause that’s just hilarious 😂
Fire! Stop drop and roll JH! Or just empty the fire extinguisher on him. That would be too funny.
Great intro. 😂
Growing up watching the "Fall Guy" love the 80's looks of the square bodies.
So sick bro... 80's all the way baby!!!
loved the 80s theme! evan the workplace safety was just like the 80s! love it!!!
Just like my old one in the 80s I fukn luv it..Brings back the feels. Definitely hits all the rite spots JH best build ever!!
That rig is looking badass I love the old school roll bars like that

‘80’s lingo, that’s a show bar ✌🏽😎 can’t wait to see the finished product
Looks amazing old skool look baby!!! Hells yeah brother!!!
I'm loving the OSHA approved closed toe welding shoes !
JH y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Dude the main hoop went to the bed floor and down bars to the top of the wheelwells to be true old skool
This truck is looking radical dude!
When I was little my dad had an 85 k20 blue and white had a bar and lights like that. I’m a square body guy for life 🤙🤙
Quick lesson: don't stand directly in the path of the sparks! 😆
Love the square body!!!!! To top it off it needs a cab visor!!!!!!
Unsure if you said it in the video, can't find it it.
But what tubes and size are they?
Dang Man I Swear I thought I was going to be the first to do it 😕.. I guess you have to know the Art of bending pipe! AWESOME! 👌
@jh diesel and 4x4 bro if you want the best out of those kc lights get another so you have 6 and make it where you have 2 sideways 2 backwards and 2 frontwards. That is the best setup for offroding because at night you will be able to see 360 all around you no problems no blind spots and so on. Great job on the rebuild
Lights shirt on fire 🔥 lol then continued to stand in front of all the sparks good stuff 😆
This unit gets more bad ass with everything you doing to it. Keep it up brother love everything you guys are doing.
Damn you're always blowing up or lighting on fire. 👍🏼
Welding in shorts and Crocs, best Florida man shit I've seen in a while. LOL
Awesome..... Gotha watch them sparks
Hey man, you might want to check that cord out...it was in a steady stream of sparks too....love that truck, brother!
Old school 👌👌👌 only way to go
It’s super cool but I wish it was mounted to the frame. But what’s cool is it’s your truck so you can do it however you want
Awesome truck, good job on the roll bar, but please clean the leaves out of that bed! Its been killing me since you bought the truck! Thanks man, keep the vids coming ;)
Hard to beat the looks of a squarebody! Good work as always JH.
Justin is the man , always around to save the day!!!
May I suggest you invest in a leather apron...
Fabric softener makes clothes more flammable. Just a tip for your work clothes.
Love this truck build!! That rack is sick!
Old school fit you and the mullet perfectly nice love the look 😎
I love this truck. It reminds me of my childhood. Both my uncles always had lifted square bodys
I did custom exhaust for about 5 years. Got very acquainted with one of those machines. Also wadded up plenty of pipe learning to do shit backwards, and sometimes certain bends have to come first. Looks damn good man
Just a thought, flame retardant shirts might sell....id buy one.
How big it the tubing?
Can't beat a old square body man. Looking good
Loving the old roll bar
JH's merch is on fire....
I've been there before. Burned a few shirts. That's why I don't stand in line with the grinder anymore. Also I love the look. Did something similar to my '88 F-150. I went with the drip-rail clamp style mount like the old patrol cars and department trucks used instead. I still want to be able to install a camper shell and some point.
Time for a JH Diesel shirt with FIRE on it ;)
Opening moments had me as a subscriber!
Just like the snorkel, to much heat🤣poor t shirt 🔥
Man when you caught on fire I could not help but laugh because I have been there more than once before 😂👍
The best intro to any good video always starts with “oh shit” lol
Definitely like the 80s ,can’t go wrong with the KC lights looking good 👍
jh do one of those full crawler exo cages on that bad boy!!!
What size tubing did you use? I actually was thinking of using exhaust tubing too as a bed roll bar.
Im looking at building one right now because i cant find one. Did you use 3” exhaust pipe? I was thinking of doing the same thing for my f150 since it wont be taken offroad on trails. My squarebody is different that ones getting sent offroad and down trails if its ever reliable enough to make it to a trail
looks great. nice job.

Im 28 my dad had all these trucks fuck i miss drivin in these rigs ! Great job man !!!! I wish
Great vid brother
Fire shirt...EPIC! Laughed through the first 5 minutes and then a replay. Need to ad that tagline to every shirt. "Shirt may catch fire. JH shirts are not fire retardant."
Bro digging the square body especially like you said old school build with the kc lights is badass
Love the look didn't you say 5 lights 4 forward 1 rearward?
You definitely need a shirt in your merch line that says caution extremely flammable
FIRE FIRE MAN ON 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚒

Looks So Good!!!
Shop fires be winning this year, Pudn, Peg, now JH..
The roll bar is suppose to mount to the floor of the bed not the bedside.
It's exhaust tubing. It's not a roll bar it's a light bar. That thing is pasta if the truck rolls.
@@jasonbirch1182 was it stainless steel?
🤣😂🤣👍🏻 it happens t's love go up in flame's 👍🏻👍🏻 old school hell yeah
More build videos like this 🍻👌
Justin take off the snorkel and fabricate one from 3" stainless tube we do heaps here in Australia you can also do a steel one and paint to the same as your light bar.
Truck looks so rad
JH merch is fire

I graduated in 1988 my old farm truck looked like that, i wish i still had that truck and probably would if i didn't get run off the road and filp it 4x
