GREAT STUFF YOUNG MAN.... VERY COOL TRUCK... FIRE TRUCK.... EXTRA TRUCK WITH WATER TANK FOR SPRAYING.... EVENTUALLY PUT A HOIST ON THE BED AND SIDE BOARDS FOR THE BED..HAUL DIRT, ROCK, MISCELLANEOUS ETC.
Grant!!......That thing is a fricken BEAST with those new tires holy smokes!!! Great work man. To bad there isnt a easy way of moving one of those axels a couple inches. Non the less great work man great work!!
That is a good looking old 6x6 military truck, it should be great for lots of things there on the farms . Back in 1977 when there was a coal company stripping the coal on our farm in Lawrence County, Kentucky, they had one of these old 6x6 trucks and that thing would really pull . It had a huge diesel motor and hydraulic pump on the back of it that took up all the room on the bed and the motor housing was tall also .
That military truck is looking good. Just a suggestion, make certain the differential and transmission vents are in good condition and terminate as high as possible to keep water out.
That thing has such a Beastly sound & so much torque for it's age to just sit there spinning all 6 in a mud hole at idle. I kinda got a bit of old truck Envy goin on. lol
breaker bar extensions........dropping the wrench (or the drain plug) in the bucket, yeah we've all been there. On the plus side, it's nice to be able to sit up while under the vehicle!
Great job Grant - love the truck and you gave me a great idea for using here on the farm. The truck will be great for pulling round bales of alfalfa out of the field. Looks like 10 or 12 bales will go on the truck at once, best part is you don't tie up a second tractor to get the bales in here in Montana. Mike
Man those tires took it from cool to Bad Ass ! And by the way nice catch with the oil I would have worn at least a couple gallons. Can't wait to see it run down the road I remember when you brought it home it looked like it rode as if it had square tires on it. Also can't wait to see it next to Laura's Dad's truck.
Laura. That bit at the duration of 12:56 is funny with all the different faces Grant pulled when he was draining the oil. He must have pulled over twelve different faces. I wonder if he'll use one of them as a poker face. I always love your videos. I saw a video about the You Tuber farmers yesterday. Congratulations for being number one. I'm so proud for you.
Turn your mounting bolts where the are nuts down easier to use impact to replace and if the nuts come loose you only lose a nut not bolt and nut. Great job looks a lot better and I’m sure it will be more useful.
I had a set of those Michelins on my duece they are nice but a set of chains for the front will really help for digging down to solid ground for traction. They also help the the front end to go the direction you want it to go on snow covered sides lopes. You will be amazed how this machine will punch through snow drifts.
Here's a tip for putting those tires on and off. A friend of mine would take a piece of plywood and smear some grease on the top and lay it under the tire and slide off the tire. It works :)
Laura your love line shines like a star. Your love for Grant is incredible. He may feel set aside with your well-deserved success of your You Tube channel, so you share it with him selling your apparel, and for a while dedicated the proceeds to help him with the restoration of his military truck. Now, let's shift over to Grant. Hey dude, you've got it. The mechanical skills to do anything you set your heart to. Great buy with the mig welder, and plasma cutter. I wanted to share something with you. I had a high-end body shop for 20 years with 11 employees altogether. In the early years I was in a barn doing restorations. There I learned about the power of getting something sandblasted with an industrial grade sandblaster. You know, the kind that has a Cat motor and a 4-inch nozzle. In no time at all, as in only a few hours they can go all over your frame and most of the panels and make it all look like new shiny silver metal. When they are done all, you have to do is spend a few hours blowing the sand out of all of the nooks and crannies, and then treat everything with metal conditioner. Metal prep is I think phosphoric acid. It preps the metal by destroying even the tiniest seeds of rust from a metal powder spec that even with the moisture in the air can turn into a rust seed planted on the metal, and even when primed over will grow a sheet of rust. So, the metal prep is easy. I love the stuff that Dupont makes. You mix it with some water according to the directions, and bury everything in it. Let it dry completely as in give it 24 hours inside. Then take some automotive oil-based primer, lacquer primer is great because it is easy to work with, and dries super quick. Now you have everything looking like new metal in prime. If you have any body work to make it pristine, for example on the hood or doors etc. just grind the dented areas with 224 grit, apply some Bondo, and get yourself an air board to sand the initial coats with 36 grit long board paper. Then get a manual inexpensive long board too so you can finish off the leveling quickly by hand. Then put another skim coat on it until it is really nice the same way. Final sand with longboard by hand only is with 80 grit. Then you prime the repair areas. Cover it with Nitro Stan which is what we used to use, they may have a more modern top coat now, and then wet sand that once it dries with 220 grit wet or dry paper on a square sanding block. Then apply a couple of wet coats of primer on the work surfaces, let it dry, and sand it with 400 grit, and repeat. Be sure to do this twice otherwise the 220 grit scratches can show as well as shadowing. With two coat applications on top of the Nitro you will get a super smooth surface. Then you are ready to paint. Now dream up a super cool color combination. I'm sure Laura will have some suggestions in that arena. Do you want a blue truck with white wheels, and do the gas tank in black, while doing the whole frame in black? Be sure and have the wheels blasted too so they come up looking like new to go with the new tires. You are going to want to do some minor disassembly before blasting like taking out the lights etc. You can duct tape an edge to protect it from the sandblaster if need be. This is key. Those industrial sandblasters are so powerful, if you have an automotive level of metal thickness it will heat the metal up so hot it will warp the panels. With a military truck this may not be a problem with metal that is thicker, but to be sure, it may be a good idea to liquid strip just the outer panels. Stripping is easy. You just buy extra stripper, and let it do all of the work. By putting a thick coat on you can easily just come over with a plastic squeegee and it falls right off. Once that is done you wash it off, and sand the surface using a random orbit sander with as coarse as 80 grit. Then send it off to the blaster. That way if you have surface rust anywhere, they can dance over it, not having to spend a lot of time on the area heating it up. Meanwhile all of the thick metal, they do the whole job. If you really want to go nuts, after they blast the frame and suspension, acid treat it, let it dry, then prime and paint it black, and after that dries, go back on and replace for example the suspension bolts, washers, and rubber bushings, and reassemble. Now when you look at the suspension it is a brand-new truck. You may want to pay a shop to do the spraying after you do all of the prep. A guy in a booth could spend only a couple of hours and really make it shine. Every time I see heavy metal and rust, knowing how easy it is to make it look like new, I keep thinking I wish I could share this with you. I used to pay an industrial blaster $250 to do a complete 555 through 57 T Bird everywhere, as in the frame, suspension (leave the rear axle in as well) and all of the door jambs, under the hood, inside the trunk, you name it. It took all of the work out of it. Prep time after that was a joke. To see what this is like, you may want to take some rusty metal piece, even like the wheels, and take it to a blaster, bring it back, acid treat, prime, and paint, and when you see the final product and how easy it is to do this, your motivation will go through the sky. I think it is cool that you have that truck, even if you don't beautify it, having that kind of heft is a wonderful thing to have. You're blessed. You and Laura make a great team. Love your guy’s channel.
Work, family, and happiness. Do you know what that is? It is a living prayer. Great video. Nothing is more fulfilling when your life and work are the same happiness. Great job Grant and Misses.(Laura).
You two are 100% home-grown middle-America awesome. You can learn a lot about life and what hard work really means by watching it through your eyes. And even on top of all the effort you still find time to routinely post. Lots of reasons to love your channel, great work!
I understand replacing the old tires, but OMG ‼️the new tires are HUGE 👀😲, they will affect the gearing and steering too. BUT ‼️ above all they look 👀 GREAT ‼️ 👍. I love it, good job 🤔👍🤠🌵
Liked the video. One thing you might consider doing is sealing off each end of the 4x4 tube steel bed supports. This will keep water, dirt and unwanted critters like birds out of those tubes. Other than that it looks great.
You et Grant and the way you do things absolutely blows me away. Anytime am feeling down, you guys are my Go-To. Love you both. Kindest, Ciaran in Ireland.
OMG what was he thinking about...LOL.....BIG heavy trucks and mud .....YI YI YI.....Laura, just hope and pray that any kids the two of you have take after YOU !!!
If the rear wheels are too close together, you maybe could turn around the front rear wheels. Then they stand a little further inside than the rear ones. I don’t know if it works, but it was my first though. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
When I was a kid American soldiers rescued our people in to safe place using this truck.and i make a promise to my self that when I grew up i will buy the look like truck.and that why it's become my dream truck till date.
Great job Grant. That military truck is a beast, and can haul many things on the farm. It can also pull trailers, wagons, and other equipment when needed. Great work with being able to take the flatbed off like you can. Maybe a tank, or fifth wheel adapter can help you. Maybe even to get your seed out to the field. Lots of options!
Love y’all’s videos on this truck. If you don’t mind a bit of advice, never use a Crescent wrench on a critical bolt, nut or plug, always clean your base metal that you’re welding to( it will improve your weld and ease of welding ), and never loose y’all’s positivity. It’s really refreshing and uplifting to see. Wish y’all the best
As a person who saw these trucks used all the time in the US Army, I never would have seen any soldier back their duce into a pond. I'm shocked you attempted this.
Great episode, I was thinking it might have been a problem to weld the exhaust elbow to the stack after putting on the new tires instead of before, rubber and heat don't mix. But the bigger scare was when it looked to me like the second rear tire wouldn't fit...but no, it did! Grant was the star in this episode but Laura did a great intro. Grant's anticipating the stream of used oil with the 2 buckets was priceless, I doubt he spilled more than a spoonful. Been there but didn't do that as deftly.
Grant, you have come a long ways very quickly getting this beast back in working condition. It was really surprising that it started up when you worked on it just a little bit, and now it runs great, it just gets stuck even with all wheels with power. It seems like I recall seeing 6x6's getting stuck rather easily before and you would think that would not be the case for a vehicle designed for off-road duties. My dad was a farm boy way back when and then took up truck driving. Now he lives back in Nebraska too just like most of his family has forever.
Grant, you're the best! You don't let much get you down. You just keep trucking with a great attitude until you achieve the goal. We should all learn from your example how to deal with life's little problems. Like tires that are too big for the axel spread. Who cares, go with it. The BEAST looks pretty good. Better yet it looks like a mountain of fun just waiting to happen. Las Vegas, NV.
I fell upon your channel about two weeks ago. I am not a farmer,but have had farmers in my family. Always have been Intrigued about farming in my life time. Nice to learn about farming life from you and Grant. I look forward your videos every week. Praying for your Grandpa and your family . Best Wishes Doug (you are living out my dreams of being a farmer)
Yeah, I've wanted a deuce and a half or a 5-ton since I left the Army, and an Army edition HumVee too. And Grant is lucky enough that his wife is not only cool with it but happy about it? A truly lucky man! 😎😍(😍 is for Laura).
Boys and their toys! Grant has a brand new truck and he's already got it sunk up to its axles in mud. Well done!
GREAT STUFF YOUNG MAN....
VERY COOL TRUCK... FIRE TRUCK.... EXTRA TRUCK WITH WATER TANK FOR SPRAYING....
EVENTUALLY PUT A HOIST ON THE BED AND SIDE BOARDS FOR THE BED..HAUL DIRT, ROCK, MISCELLANEOUS ETC.
Glad Grant is finally getting something done on that truck I think the tires are a little too big though but it's pretty badass.
I drove one just like U have from Ft. Sill, Okla. To
White Sands, N. Mexico all packed up pulling a
Kitchen trailer!!!! Wicked!!!! Lots of memories!!
Pretty cool vid! Great bucket change and you really oil your wretches so they don't rust. Good idea on farm with all the weather!
Grant!!......That thing is a fricken BEAST with those new tires holy smokes!!! Great work man. To bad there isnt a easy way of moving one of those axels a couple inches. Non the less great work man great work!!

grat to see it fixed , Now bales or gran ? > or Bothe giddy sides for the gran Bal on the flat beck.
That thing has such a Beastly sound & so much torque for it's age to just sit there spinning all 6 in a mud hole at idle. I kinda got a bit of old truck Envy goin on. lol
breaker bar extensions........dropping the wrench (or the drain plug) in the bucket, yeah we've all been there. On the plus side, it's nice to be able to sit up while under the vehicle!
A bolt must-have shear strength and tensile strength. Not any bolt will do when it comes time to handle a heavy load. LOVE THE TRUCK
Great job Grant - love the truck and you gave me a great idea for using here on
the farm. The truck will be great for pulling round bales of alfalfa out of the field.
Looks like 10 or 12 bales will go on the truck at once, best part is you don't tie up
a second tractor to get the bales in here in Montana. Mike
Wow!......to both the build and that premo welding job !
That could make a great expeditionary vehicle one day -- Awesome build Respect points to the truck pick and the wify pick she's tough gold also.
Nice work with that exhaust system. I think we've all been there. Go to the parts store, buy a box full of elbows, clamps, hangers and have at it!
Amazing! You put some wheels on an old truck. Well done!
Man those tires took it from cool to Bad Ass ! And by the way nice catch with the oil I would have worn at least a couple gallons. Can't wait to see it run down the road I remember when you brought it home it looked like it rode as if it had square tires on it. Also can't wait to see it next to Laura's Dad's truck.
GRANT HAS A LOT OF MECHINACAL SKILLS, HE DESERVES A LOT OF CREDIT, I KNOW I COULD NEVER DO THAT.
Laura. That bit at the duration of 12:56 is funny with all the different faces Grant pulled when he was draining the oil. He must have pulled over twelve different faces. I wonder if he'll use one of them as a poker face. I always love your videos. I saw a video about the You Tuber farmers yesterday. Congratulations for being number one. I'm so proud for you.
Turn your mounting bolts where the are nuts down easier to use impact to replace and if the nuts come loose you only lose a nut not bolt and nut. Great job looks a lot better and I’m sure it will be more useful.
That was fun, Grant has a good head on his shoulders. 6 foot 6, wow!
I had a set of those Michelins on my duece they are nice but a set of chains for the front will really help for digging down to solid ground for traction. They also help the the front end to go the direction you want it to go on snow covered sides lopes. You will be amazed how this machine will punch through snow drifts.
IT'S COOL 😎 Playing in the mud and fun but sucks when you get stuck. His truck looks good.
Oh gosh! I feel his pain with the ratchet going into the fullest bucket of used oil! Glad im not the only one lol loved this video!
You guys did a great job on my old Army truck!!
A+ on that oil change Grant. If that was me, it would’ve been all on the ground, and myself lol
Well done! Truck has a nice stance with those bigger tires!
Nice build. The 5 ton should be very useful on the farm.
Wow grant one heck of a job in the truck looks awesome
Yesssssssss I have been waiting for the 6X6......watching now!!!!!! Atta Boy Grant CONGRATS on to the
Show(only 2 minutes in.)
Here's a tip for putting those tires on and off. A friend of mine would take a piece of plywood and smear some grease on the top and lay it under the tire and slide off the tire. It works :)
Hey Grant, the tire clearance will get larger in a few 1000 miles. Nice bucket switch out.
Big Boys and their Big Toys. Have fun with the Military Truck. Fun video. Thank you, Grant.
I got to say those military truck tires should go well on the pivot !!!!! ............yep ....no getting bogged with those !!!!!😄👍

Great video.
Nothing is more fulfilling when your life and work are the same happiness.
Great job Grant and Misses.(Laura).
That is one cool truck. I would love to have an old military truck.
Bummer dude! Time for the walk of shame. Great build, have fun.
Feb 1st Laura, that's when the video of the truck came out!
Be safe!!
Tip for future 4×4 block and a long pry bar makes tires mounting easy
If you ever drop a wrench or a bolt in a bucket of oil, a cow magnet on the outside of the bucket can usually fish the wrench up to the top.
Hello there👋👋how are you doing today? Hope your day wasn’t stressful?God bless you!!❤
You two are 100% home-grown middle-America awesome. You can learn a lot about life and what hard work really means by watching it through your eyes. And even on top of all the effort you still find time to routinely post. Lots of reasons to love your channel, great work!
Great job Grant
I understand replacing the old tires, but OMG ‼️the new tires are HUGE 👀😲, they will affect the gearing and steering too. BUT ‼️ above all they look 👀 GREAT ‼️ 👍. I love it, good job 🤔👍🤠🌵
"Barely fits" means good snow and mud dispersal! Good job!
Liked the video. One thing you might consider doing is sealing off each end of the 4x4 tube steel bed supports. This will keep water, dirt and unwanted critters like birds out of those tubes. Other than that it looks great.
Agreed. No sense letting it get rusty from the inside out.
Wow amazing looking truck greetings from Aberdeen Scotland
That move with the buckets was Smooth.
If you’re a gamer, you definitely know this looks or possibly is the ANK in Snowrunner! Extremely dope truck though!
Watching from the philippines 🇵🇭 mabuhay!!!!
Great job.I am jealous.I always wanted a military truck myself
That's what you call a beast. Good job.
You et Grant and the way you do things absolutely blows me away. Anytime am feeling down, you guys are my Go-To. Love you both. Kindest, Ciaran in Ireland.
Grant's got some serious welding skills!
Wow! What a great shop space!
OMG what was he thinking about...LOL.....BIG heavy trucks and mud .....YI YI YI.....Laura, just hope and pray that any kids the two of you have take after YOU !!!
Congrats, she looks good.
If the rear wheels are too close together, you maybe could turn around the front rear wheels. Then they stand a little further inside than the rear ones. I don’t know if it works, but it was my first though.
I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
You did a great job Grant. I just know Matt from Demolition Ranch would be so jealous!
When I was a kid American soldiers rescued our people in to safe place using this truck.and i make a promise to my self that when I grew up i will buy the look like truck.and that why it's become my dream truck till date.
Very impressive Work Truck Grant!
Man, if you had duallies with the big tyres in the rear it would be even more awesome!
AWEWSOME GUYS! You did great!
Awesome Job Grant. Looks great.
Great job Grant. That military truck is a beast, and can haul many things on the farm. It can also pull trailers, wagons, and other equipment when needed. Great work with being able to take the flatbed off like you can. Maybe a tank, or fifth wheel adapter can help you. Maybe even to get your seed out to the field. Lots of options!
Using it to raise the water level in the pond already.
Great job. Have fun and stay safe guys later
It'll be good for working on the pivots. Old mil trucks are great for use as support vehicles.
Idea for the rear tire replacement. Tank treads! Make it a half track!
congrats on progress with truck you are doing great job
Nice job Grant! Love ya guys
Great Truck Grant and Laura, It's function is obvious, the family grocery getter!
Wowwww those are some big treads!!!!!!!
Enjoy your life guys !!❤️❤️
Good job on the oil change.
Truck turned out awesome Grant !
It looks awesome! Your hubby is awesome!
Love y’all’s videos on this truck. If you don’t mind a bit of advice, never use a Crescent wrench on a critical bolt, nut or plug, always clean your base metal that you’re welding to( it will improve your weld and ease of welding ), and never loose y’all’s positivity. It’s really refreshing and uplifting to see. Wish y’all the best
I'm disappointed that we didn't get to see the big truck being pulled out of the pond by an even bigger tractor. 👍
Great job Grant
maybe the tractor got stuck too and they had to wait for an even bigger truck :)
@@jwenting Reminds me of a song by Corb Lund. Mighty neighborly, if you know what I mean.
My guess as to why we didn't get to see it being pulled out, is because that was it's own production. 😉
I offered to pull it our with my 5 Ton 6x6. 😁
If yankum ropes sponsored you it would have been a perfect ad showing the military truck getting yanked out
As a person who saw these trucks used all the time in the US Army, I never would have seen any soldier back their duce into a pond. I'm shocked you attempted this.
I don't usually comment at all just like watching. But what grant did to the truck Was the ultimate bad ass form truck
A boy n his big boy toys!! Good job Grant! Lots of work , went into that project! Now...put that " beast" to work!!
I'm sure that Sgt Satre is happy with your work 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸💥
Grant nailed it on that oil drain!
great Job Grant, truck looks awesome

Grant's anticipating the stream of used oil with the 2 buckets was priceless, I doubt he spilled more than a spoonful. Been there but didn't do that as deftly.
Yea, the amount of oil and the angle it came out (90 degrees) made it tricky. He knew what he was doing.
Grant, you have come a long ways very quickly getting this beast back in working condition. It was really surprising that it started up when you worked on it just a little bit, and now it runs great, it just gets stuck even with all wheels with power.

Great job Grant. Looks awesome. 👍💪
Grant is a natural farmer, drop a tool it always seems to fall into another mess; have fun fishing in bucket of oil
That truck is awesome!! Looks great!
Great job on the old military truck. Brings back memories of my time in the Marine Corp as a 3531 driver. Loved driving the old 5 ton trucks.
Grant, you're the best! You don't let much get you down. You just keep trucking with a great attitude until you achieve the goal.
We should all learn from your example how to deal with life's little problems. Like tires that are too big for the axel spread. Who cares, go with it. The BEAST looks pretty good. Better yet it looks like a mountain of fun just waiting to happen.

You can buy o-ring as a coil of stock. That can be cut to length and glued together.
Every man's dream a 6×6 truck!! And better yet Laura's happy about it..
Yeah, I've wanted a deuce and a half or a 5-ton since I left the Army, and an Army edition HumVee too.
And Grant is lucky enough that his wife is not only cool with it but happy about it?
A truly lucky man! 😎😍(😍 is for Laura).
Thanks Laura! Enjoyed the trip.
You'd be a fun neighbour to hang out with Grant.
That truck came out great!
