    One of these videos popped up in my recommended almost a month ago and I watched so many of these since. Def a skill that's acquired not in a school.

    I fix a lot of "Dead" Busses for customers - there's a certain satisfaction with being able to bring big working vehicles back into useful service. In my case I fix rusted out bits, plus the heavy mechanical stuff nobody else much wants to touch - loads of bus operators are starting to see that the older, better built models they own are very worth repairing as the new ones are crazy money/a bit crap in general. So I get to play with their older bus..
    Similar theme, different methods - keeping stuff rolling instead of in the junkyard. Love the Vids, Mr Bendin.

    Great content, showing how this is done is a service, most people just cannot fathom what it takes to straighten a pretzel.

    Devin, your videos are tops! And thanks a ton for putting these out. I worked with a suspension guy who was from a frame shop years ago, but he’s long since retired. We called him ‘Camelback’, (long story lol). But seriously, work like this is a lost art….so glad you’re sharing this! 👍

    @peteengard9966 Год назад +2

    Shoot. I used to have to pull motor mounts, exhaust, fuel tanks, and drive shafts when I did the bending. And yes. It's easy to crumple an X member. Especially the old Peterbuilt ones. Dropped a trans in the pit bending on a truck. Didn't know the flywheel housing was broken when it was towed in. Keep it straight.

    In regard to driving the trucks after initial bending to check for the steel memory to comfortably settle, does the frame/chassis take yet another settling when 50k lbs. gets applied on uneven terrain ?
