- It’s time to get this rig ready for some winter use! I swap on some different tires, add some new vintage looking LED headlights, a little storage, and tackle the biggest problem that I was dancing around…. Mouse nest nastiness.

Yuck
Is it just me or is this better than Dirt Every Day? It just seems more like the real-life normal guy getting it done. Love the Channel Bru.
Thank you. It’s fun getting to show how it goes
I jam out to the intro every time!
Please don't ever paint Mom's Spaghetti, it's becoming an iconic look like Frieburgers General Mayhem.
It kinda is! I am worried too that I’ll mess it up
@@thedirtheadshed nah, I've seen your paint work, it'll look dope either way. I've just really come to like the "ratty (pun intended) on the outside, dope parts underneath" look on serious off roaders.
@@thedirtheadshedif you do end up painting it, I vote for some type of TAMIYA Blackfoot theme that’s been mentioned before! 👍🏼👍🏼
Also, I dig the rubber grommet from a mud flap technique you did here!
Keep her patina Dave I almost got scared you did paint it this episode I was like dang. Each one of those different color fenders are pieces saved off of other cars like tattoos or scars
@@thedirtheadshed You'll definitely mess it up, don't even try.
I feel like there isn't enough content about this truck and Dave acts like it's not important sometimes. But all of his really unique additions need to be explored.
It’s hard when the build was spread out over 4 years. And I’ve only documented the last portion of it
“I’m sure there is a better way to do this, but I don’t know that way”. My entire hot rodding life summed up in a sentence.
So true
"I'm not in the business of restoring old trucks" breaks out the sawzaw.
True
We appreciate all youre one arm struggles thanks for sharing 👍
Hahahha. The price of working alone
Awsome man love seeing the build and the realistic fix not just new shiny stuff
Agreed
Funny you did this. A few months ago I got into my wife’s two year old Nissan Frontier, and as you said, it smelled horrible. When I opened up the blower and heater, it was so full I don’t know how the blower was running. They transplanted a moving blanket in the garage to the truck’s ductwork. Found a total of two adult and probably a dozen baby dead mice. Pulled it all apart, cleaned it up and smells nice and fresh now.
What a pain
“I’m really not in the business of restoring old trucks.” So true, so very true😂
Alter and enjoy
this truck is amazing. Dave, thank you for the content as always. keeep it comin
Thanks for watching
I have been impatiently waiting for a new dirt everyday episode and found your channel today and learned it won’t be coming back. I’m sad there won’t be anymore DED but excited about this channel! you got a sub from me.
Much appreciated.! Pass the word
Reminds me of my fav 80’s rock band “Ratt”!⚡️⚡️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Good times
Such an awesome rig. Thanks for the content, always happy to see a new video from you.
Thanks for watching
Such a great upgrade…..still one of my favorite builds of yours👍🏻👊🏻
I dig it too. Thanks
Nice to see her out and about again. Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks. It’s good to drive them
Glad you’re putting something back into the truck as far as heat. One can off-road without heat. My concern was no defrost. Being a guy who lived many years up in the northwest I was concerned for safety reasons. My 61 Willis had two heaters similar to your Mardene and I never had issues. In fact, quite often it was almost too hot.
Yeah. I have to get back in and finish it
I love this truck that old school pre runner style bumper is awesome. One thing I always throw in my vehicles in winter is a gel type sterno can ,they can save your bacon and fry it.
Great advice
Always anxious for the next video and tips and tricks. Thanks Dave.
I have used Vintage Air heaters in a couple of projects. They are reasonable, have floor, defrost, or mix, 3 speed fans. They also pull inside air but when it is in a soft top...no worries. In my Willy's, I just ran the defroster hoses up the front of the dash and attached the vent ends to the roll cage cross member with Velcro. That way they can be removed easily in the summer.
Nice. I think this will get a little fine tuning as time goes
This truck is inspiration for my '84 bronco I've been neglecting to pull out of the "tree row". Thanks for all the great content
Right on/ get to work on that thing
That rig is RAD!!!
Thank you!
Love moms spaghetti , such an awesome rig. Looking forward to your next video Dave.
Thank you. It’s a fun one
Hunter is the brand tire changer you want. Great work on the ford! Love it!
Yeah. I went cheap and it shows
Love this truck Dave! I had my 1997 OBS F250 burn the cab and engine bay from a nest in the heater box. I was buying it back from a guy and he started it up and it caught fire while he was inside getting the title. When I got there it was out, but the dash, windshield, and heater were all burned up. It almost burned his building down as the wiring for the shifter interlock burned and he couldn't move it away from the building. He had to beat it out with his shirt!
That’s not good at all!
I see this truck had the rare factory option of the mouse house cabin air filter! 🤣
So glad I was able to remove it
I like that old truck. Old school full size trucks are cool. Love the content, you're killing it. Appreciate the work making these
Thanks for watching. I’m stoked to see the channel growing as fast as it is
You will never bore me with this truck! More Mum's Spaghetti!!
Thanks!
Totally dig the front bumper on Mom's Spaghetti. You managed to make a stock bumper look awesome. I think you invented a new style, tasteful Mad Max.
Thanks! I like it . Was going for stock class vintage desert racer look
Nice!! I got the Holley Retro Bright headlights on my 2000 Jeep XJ. I went with the yellow ones myself.
Sweet!
" I'm not really in the business of restoring trucks" lmfao
I never met a truck I couldn’t chop
Glad to see you guys again
Thanks for watching
Knees are weak, palms are sweaty
You get it
There’s vomit on his spaghetti already, moms sparshetti - he’s nervous
Exactly what I thought very first time I heard the name of the truck. Ha ha!!!
I absolutely love the way that truck sits. I have an 86 f150 that I’m going to be building to leave out in JV. The look of the bullnose with a step side and big tires looks so awesome!
Thank you. I dig it too. Nice and classic
Always dropping solid tips keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching
I love this truck. It has “the look” ! Keep it rad Dave.
I appreciate it
Glad to see I'm not the only one trying to bring "rad" back
I love watching you build stuff!!
Thank you. I appreciate it
Really liked this episode, lots of tips and tricks. Be sure to follow up on your heater. Let us know how it worked for you. Thanks for sharing Dave. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, it is mediocre at best
Mouse house was massive! I love that truck was great to see you wrenching on it again.
Yeah. He definitely set up shop
Love the video, thank you for giving us excellent content. How are you kicking along ? Hope you and the family are doing well and some royalties help keep you afloat. Prayers for you and your family. Take care
All is good . No royalties .
Well there you are, I’ve been lookin all over the place for you!
Me or the mouse
You! I’m not looking for any heater box homesteaders! I enjoy your videos.. they done y’all wrong. The way I see it, it’s their loss.
So happy to see more full size Ford content!
Gotta have one in the fleet
@@thedirtheadshed I've got a 94 FSB getting a new motor very soon! I can send pics.
I'm late to the party, very kind of you to have a seat available, missed you.
Better late than never
I love this truck and want to build something similar to it. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for watching
We really need a pacific nw ultimate adventure that is held during the winter. You'd tear it up 💪🏼
It would be pretty fun
The coolest truck ever. I love seeing moms spaghetti
Thank you
Moms spaghetti is the coolest truck ever! My dad had a tan long bed when I was in high school always thought that truck was awesome.
Coolest ever?? Thanks, but that’s a stretch
You could try and use a utility attachment for a shop vac to run ducts from the box to the factory squares
Good tip
Finally, back to my favorite build! Keep it rockin', Dave, I bleed Ford Blue!
It’s gonna get some mods you’ll like
Wow that certainly needed removing ! Although it’s a simple unit at least you’ll have some heat whilst winter wheeling, nice job. 👍🏽😎
It was so gross
Love the channel Dave, keep em comin 😁
Will do: thanks
Dave, you're doing good man. Keep it up.
Much appreciated
I love the heater core, it reminds of one’s I saw on military equipment. They weren’t pretty we’d use them as a foot rest, but they worked. If I ever had a beater with a clogged heater core buried under the dash I’d drill a few holes and install one of these for heat.
It’s a good simple option
Awesome stuff Dave! Looking forward to the next spaghetti serving.
Soon!
Good watching 👀. Keep up the good work
Working on it, Thank you
Thanks for showing the Holley RetroBrights, never seen them before. Wanted to upgrade to LED for a while now but I dislike the tacky futuristic 7" LEDs everyone seems to put in their classics nowadays. Definitely gonna get the RetroBrights for my FJ40.
They are a great option
Mom's spaghetti always gets a click!
Much appreciated
Your an inspiration Dave! Keep it up man!
Just breathing in moldy spore mouse poo, but at least it's warm 🤣
Old cars are dumb
Mom's Spaghetti is such a cool looking truck.
Thank you. I look forward to continuing to make it better
Some fiberglass fenders up front would look rad!!!
Wider just gets into more trees and rocks though
Mom's spaghetti gives me motivation to get my f350 done!
Get out there and thrash on it
Dave, you need more videos!! I am craving MORE!!!!
Working on it!
Yesss
One time I was driving that '69 Chevy longbed on the 94 and I thought it would be a good idea to open the crotch cooler door for the first time..
A blast of mice, insect, pine needles and other horribleness blasted out a my junk at about 60 MPH.
Boom! Lesson learned
I had the same experience removing the heater/AC box from my 78 W100… expected to be simple and ended up being a MAJOR pain.
The snowball effect
Good stuff Dave!
Thank you
I used a heater like that in a 74 ford. Worked like a champ. It was marine style heater.
Nice
Eat your heart out Vintage air! We now have Chappelle Air that also rhymes with Bel-air which is also cool too! Soo...... yeah. Rock on!
Cheers!
I was worried you had painted it! At the end of the day it's your truck, but it looks so dang cool as is
Thank you
I like this truck. I like that it is different. Jeeps are great but variety is the spice of life.
I think you'll definitely need to hook up that defroster. I know when we get a cold rain it is almost inevitable that the inside of my windshield fogs no matter what I drive. Seem like you were just trying to get it functional for this trip so mission accomplished there.
Without A/C I would have it pull air in from the outside permanently. I find this help keep my vehicles more comfortable. Just need some 1/4" screen over the opening to keep critters out. That's more of a luxury, though.
Good advice
Great vid, thanks! Pack rats are my mortal enemy. I've actually put screens on my fresh air intakes to keep them out, but I still have crap falling in to the fan. Hate those things.
Good move
Here for the algorithm. It’s well deserved. Premium accounts support creators better. And losing ads is well worth it.
Thank you
Totally what I needed to see because I'm facing the same mouse problem in my bullnose.
I've been looking at the Flex-a-lite Mojave heaters, but I'm now going to check out Maradyne.
Thanks for presenting that option.
It works pretty good. The fan is super loud though
Any problems with 40's rubbing the frame horn? What size spacer do run to clear that issue, if any?
No wheel spacers. The tires hit my lower links
For the ducting you can get peheater hose since its easy to make bends or even fit something not perfect round. I used it on my Datsun 620 after moving the firewall back for a sbc.The heater box moved so the stock hoses no longer reached.
Sounds like a cool project
Awesome. Have fun wheelin
We did! Video coming soon
Mom's spaghetti is my favorite. Good to see you wrenching in it.
It’s fun to keep making little progress on it
@@thedirtheadshed When I worked in a tractor shop one of the things they would do (and farmers) Is put Simple Green in a pie tin and place it in the cab of a tractor. Especially a combine. After planting/harvest to keep the mice and other critters out. Random trivia there for ya.
Nice work Dave 🤘 Went from Rat Truck to Rad Truck
I’ll tell my daughter she needs to change what she calls it
I love those square Fords, she'd look awesome OD Green! I painted my 95 F 150 OD , I miss that truck! Although I don't miss driving it here in NY, my First Gen Tacoma S.A.Swap Mini Truck works a lot better in this tight ass place!
Toy have some good wheeling in that area. Just have to know the right people
@The Dirthead Shed There's no wheeling on long Island or The surrounding islands, I unfortunately don't live upstate, but I travel to AOAA and Rausch Creek all the time, but hundreds of miles each way and no trailer, I'm poor
@The Dirthead Shed I am the person to know, where I live ain't to many offroad people, and I am literally the only Solid Axle Tacoma on Long Island, the island and the Boroughs suck ass! But family is here, so I'm stuck, and my fiance loves Manhattan and Theater and everything I pretty much hate 😆
Hey cool, that box has my name on it! 😂
That’s cool
Its tuff to beat a beater with a heater in the northwest, that's for sure.
It’s a good ol rig
I'm not sure if it will matter with the temperatures that you will see there, but generally for windshield defrosting/defogging you need fresh outside air. Recirculating air from in the cab doesn't work to keep the windows clear because it's not dry enough. Hope this helps!
I’m gonna try to get a fresh air source
Made it happen, stay warm, brother 🙏.
Oh yeah.
I've seen other you tubers talk about these new lights from Holley. So I went to Holley's web site. Geeze Louise. They are really proud of them. I guess it's still gonna be old school halogens for my stuff. I'm just to cheap.
That’s not a bad choice. They still work
Nice headlights! I was trying to make Sylvania Silverstar’s work in my CJ. They burned out way too often, so I went with some Hella H4’s. The Hella lights were way better. I had my KC’s wired so if I engaged them, they would only come on with High beams (still useful) when I figured out that wiring trick, I also did my reverse flood so it would come on only in reverse, with high beams on. Relays opened up all sorts of options when I figured out how to use them. I bet those leds draw a lot less than my H4’s. When they die I may opt for them.
But are the mice “living” in it? Love old junk! Lol
Wiring can be fun when it starts to make sense
Nice finnally a obs ford to watch i have a aero and a brick the bullnose front clip on the brick is killer
Thank you
Cool Andre the Giant sticker
Good catch
Fn love this channel.
I appreciate that!
Great video
Thank you
That old bike on the right was sweet!
It’s a cool old harftail
Wow.....that heater was packed.....FULL. Its hard to get that mouse urine smell out. And the particulates from it make you sicker than a dog. Ask me how I know.
Thanks for the journey into the unknown! 😁
That stuff sucks so bad. The problem is how common it is in the hobby we have
Im a firm believer in seat heaters for winter wheelin. I put a kit off EBay into my Tj’s stock seats a decade ago. They work way better than the crap OEM heater.
Good advice. Those kits are cheap
@@thedirtheadshed and they flat out work too. Great addition to a soft top Jeep…or any thing that sees winter temps really
You should get some of the vise grip garage patina juice for that rig...
I have some sweet patina sauce. Might try it
I dig the channel!
Thank you
Cool build
Thank you
Sawzall for the win! Lolol
Necessity for most jobs
Love Mom's spaghetti! Might look into adding a little insulation in the cab to try and keep some heat in there.
Good idea!
Dave "Hantavirus" Chappelle
No joke
Freaking LOVE this truck
It’s so good
It might have been easier to clean the mouse turds up before you built the truck. Those two weirdos at the end looked warm and happy tho.
I don’t always do things the right way
Yes! Mom’s dirty underwear, oooops- spaghetti is back!!! The legend!
It really was dirty.
Love that truck
It’s a good one. I don’t picture selling off anytime soon
🦅🇺🇸💪😁👍 thanks for the new video and yeah I'm gonna watch the next video
Thanks! Cameron filmed it so it should be good
😁👍
This channel is wicked.
Thanks! I’m trying to keep it interesting
