Build Your Own Truck Frame Rotisserie - Cheap!

- I need to be able to clean and coat the frame on the Project True Spirit truck, and the easiest way to get to all parts is to be able to rotate the whole frame a full 360 degrees. Instead of spending $2000+ plus on a pre-build rotisserie, I decided to build one myself, with a total build cost of about $150
Update: Having used this for a couple weeks now, I'd add a couple modifications.
1. Make the inner coupling tube 1" longer, drill a hole through it and put in a pin to prevent the two pieces from pulling apart (I dropped the frame once moving it around)
2. Drill a large (1/2") hole through the outer coupling tube and weld a nut to it so you can run a stop bolt down against the inner coupling tube to hold things at a set angle
Small-quantity round DOM was purchased here:

Wheels are Harbor Freight
Everything else was lying around the garage already.
Making stuff to make stuff and fix stuff. That's what I do too. Measure twice cut once? I think I've done that a time or two. But I have to stop watching your videos so much and start doing my own projects more. Great Channel great work.
That was awesome. Extremely practical. Thank you
Those roller blade wheels were a good choice.
They turned out better than expected. In fact the whole project somewhat surprised me.
I would have run the inner tubes longer, so they would stick out the other side, and then I would have placed a pin in them to make sure they don't slide out on me when I least expected it!! Otherwise, cool tool bro!!
Now that it's done I totally agree, I would, too.
Nice build, works very well. Seems you took lessons learned on the engine stand build. It's going to be a great series this winter.
The engine stand definitely was lessons learned for this one.
To me, the centers look a little sketchy. But I can’t see it from my house. In any case, take care, because I really enjoy your channel.
It looks sketch mostly because my welds are fugly, but it's surprisingly solid. I'd hang the chassis with full running gear on them without concern (though it would be way off balance and wouldn't rotate at that point)
I guess I missed something. why did you weld a pulley between the two lengths of square tube?
It gave me something to weld the round tube to 360 degrees, and requires less depth for the overall stand. Front to rear space is in short supply in my garage and saving a few inches means I can walk around it and not crawl over it.
