    I'm 73 and started my working career as a gofer at a body shop that my Uncle worked at. My Uncle was a master at engineering with no formal education in it. He built a frame machine from some old truck trans to be able to gear the pulling and winches. His was amazing and is still in use today. I gotta say the Chinese frame puller is impressive. I like watching cars being put back on the road again so I just subbed and liked. Keep up the good work.

    I'm not a body person but that looks like potent little tool. Back in the '70's body shops mostly just had holes in the floor to tie a car down and pulled with a couple of posts and a Port-A-Power. Must have been much tougher back in the day. All that said, Your knowledge and skill is what makes the most difference.

  • @huutee1

    my dad used a huge telephone pole buried beside the shop door. Not so much for frames but many many bumpers. Back then the bumpers were super heavy duty. he straightened a lot of them using the car in reverse and or in drive with chains to that pole. body work dollies made from train track too. When Ben said that his car looked like it had been hit by a train I laughed because that were words my dad would and DID say. I thought that this chinese machine would probably fail but NO ... pretty cool .

  • @brettallenthomas
    @brettallenthomas Год назад +1

    Just a Suggestion.. when you're pulling using that bolt through the body panel.... you are bending the head of the bolt because you are attaching one end of the chain to it, putting all the force on one side... This will cause the bolt to fail much quicker than if you pull it straight by attaching the middle of the chain to it and then looping both ends of the chain around the pulling tower... this will pull the bolt evenly from two sides.. and there will be much less chance of snapping the head off the bolt and having everything come apart...

    • @obfuscated3090
      @obfuscated3090 Год назад +1

      Pickup truck frames aren't hard to pull or push. They're easier than doing a mangled unibody but many shops just grab a straight frame off a salvage truck or SUV because cab and body swaps are quick and easy.
      We did lots of pickups and SUVs where I used to work (building one out of several from Copart and salvage) and if doing one for yourself it's a nice way to swap a 1500 cab onto a 2500 or 3500 frame and running gear. My F100 is an F350 underneath, my C-20 rocks C-30 dually running gear and my six banger K1500 2WD has a LS 5.3 4x4 frame and running gear. There's no law saying ya can't upgrade your drivetrain and suspension and the lower tax hit makes me smile. Wreckers often go through two or more cabs before getting scrapped.

    As an insurance adjuster, I will say that we’ve been instructed to replace the whole door for damage like this. Anytime a dent is deep enough to even be suspected of affecting the intrusion beam, my company wants us to replace. The only time we do a pull, is on structural components like the rails/rear body or quarter. but in this video they’re pulling the uniside so that makes sense.

    Hey there. Nice job, nice tool. Was wondering why pull it out if you are going to be replacing the lower beam anyways? Was it mostly to demonstrate the tool?

    Outstanding item repair starting with new equipment. Your the man Ben. Don’t let Yuri know

    Bro, I have to give it to you, you are the true MVP, frame machines in general are dangerous, and I would never trust a frame machine from vevor, after seeing the reputation on how they weld their equipment.
