Great video J.C.Smith really looking forward to this build. It looks like it coming together in one place with help from people that want to learn how to do this from you. Thanks for sharing stay safe Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith.
The builds are getting better and better. I like this build better than the first one because this is a ground up build from scratch these are the builds I like the best. It’s like building a 1 of 1 build different than anything else again this is what I love to see taking what you have on your properties and building something new/different out of it nothing goes to waste utilizing everything that you have. I’m really excited about this build. Thank you JC For sharing this with everyone love what you do and everyone who participated in this project.
Love the idea. Making me think about land scape truck half inclosed half ramp so I could load mower in the open and other tools in the garage space like a box truck.the cab forward is great for neighborhood parking
Going to be following this. I think the cab will sit down fine on that straight frame. May have to put the cab mounts low on the nose of the frame like rear pivot on dump truck
Excited to see what you come up with on this one. I think Jacob (?) Is handling the engine for this. You can add frame to the rear. Can even step it down to help with the wedge bed. Super curious to see if you use like a 255-22.5 front, or a 19.5.
I was really hoping for a ramp truck build. I am getting back into sled pulling next year when we move back to Michigan from Idaho and want to build a ramp truck while we are out west here in the land of little to no rust.
The rain was really messing with your vibes there. Eh, but you got the job done, and the project is rolling. It's gonna be a great truck when it's done. I've always liked old trucks revamped to more modern standards - if not full modern. There's several peeps here in Europe that have taken 2000's era trucks and refit them inside shells of 1970~80's trucks. Some of the pull contest trucks are done that way and those are always cool.
I’m one of those people I was just curious if you were hauling higher than the cab vin says it can even though the truck can more than handle it how the dot man would handle it

Start to finish it is a great opportunity for the guys helping out and people like me who would like to help but can’t, to learn as you go along.
Enjoyed the video as always. Glad to see where this is heading J.C! 😎👍
I like your vision for the truck. I can't wait to see the outcome. Great job on the ideas and build process.
Enjoy every build you do, and you can do whatever you want to it. Have a great evening, JC and Mrs Smith

J.C. Your building exactly the truck I've been wanting to build . So far so good . Great videos .
Looks like a prime candidate for a drop axle from an old car hauler.

cut , grind, weld, repeat..

Super curious to see if you use like a 255-22.5 front, or a 19.5.
i plan to have a step up at the rear to accommodate the the larger tires
Fantastic!

there might be a twist to this.

Your justification of the air brakes is solid. Going with a mid engine has many advantages. Will the cab still tilt?
yes. it will still tilt.im going to try and stuff as much of the "less than pleasing to the eye" things under it.
I like this. Where you at guys that want to help and learn
I’m thinking welding rig, flatbed, and a knuckle boom 😁
im not a welder! i have another idea i will share with you.
good stuff man
How big of a pain is it getting the truck re-speced for more weight?
most people wont want it upgraded to a heavier gvwr. they would prefer it lower. it doesnt matter to me. either way is fine.

Jc I want to come. It’s a 20hr drive. If I can work it out can you deal with me a week?
