" I think you're confused about my level of care" 😂😂😂😂👍🏻
The best thing, I think, about projects like this is the years of satisfaction you get while using that truck and knowing that you made it. It won't be perfect but it is 100% you.
Even if you don't know how to spray paint. 😏
If you lay the floor mat out flat in the sun it will become more pliable so it's easier to install and fit to size
My favorite part is that even your negative comments are entertainingly positive!
Hey Captain, a paint roller tip,
Use a cheap lint roller tape on your paint roller before dipping it in paint
This will remove all those little loose fibers that show up in your paint job.
Used to use air blast to defuzz them, blows as they rotate, couple of seconds and free 😂
Work pants- tractor supply. Ten bucks! 😂. Vinyl Roof! 70s throwback 😮. You will be the only guy in the state to style like that 😊
All that work....to just take a Dump somewhere 😂❤
Details details.
My suggestion is use a solo cup and old speaker magnet in the bottom that way you can collect the metal and pull the magnet out and the shavings on the bottom of the cup fall off.
The easiest way to put the floor liner in is to set it out in the sun for an hour or two to soften it up and make it easier to put where you want it.
When you want to make sure you use a respiratory protection device, is vhen using anything with a VOC 0:04 welding. Stick is the worst for fumes! I use Nason wax and silicone remover (known as " final wipe"), and blue shop towels for paint prep after at least a 400 grit sanding. I mix and spray my own paint with a HVLP sprayer. I have a full face mask with two CBRN filters on it to spray. One of those half masks for prep and have to order 2XL Nitrile gloves. Acetone is only used for fiberglass repairs here. that's nasty stuff!
I've used a roller to paint "woods trucks" with bed liner up to the side mirrors. Lol Doesn't look great, but no scratches or rust after much abuse, works for a function over form guy.
I would do the whole bed in an out with quality bedliner.
My best investment, watch local hardware stores or carpet &paint shops getting rid of a paint shaker!
I got a double gallon shaker for $125 and I use it from rattlecans to $300 quarts of paint.... best money I ever spent!
I like your methodical method! Every step has a reason. In the end, that will indeed save you a lot of time. On your pants: We have a Goodwill-like store over here in east-central Ohio, called "Brouse and Buy." I can buy a pair of pants for $0.39. That's not an error. Everytime the wife goes there, she looks for my size. So, when I mess'm up - I just turn'm into shop rags. Heavy shirts are also $0.39. In the winter months I wear long sleeve, the summer months just a t-shirt. Great video! Thanks Mike! Lee
Riggs workwear by Wrangler are very comfortable & durable. Worm them for many years. Never been disappointed. I prefer the carpenter style. I noticed that Matt from Diesel Creek wears them too.
The roller fiber just add strength like rebar. Haha. Looking good man.
Finish with a sponge roller...
Mike you have good bench magnets in the other trucks. Take out the speakers. Wrap a rag around the speaker magnet clean up your bench peel the rag off you will have a clean bench and magnet 👍🏻
Compared to what you started with, this truck is going to be a jewel. Hopefully it gives you years of service and enjoyment of building it yourself. And put the floor mat in the sun as soon as possible to let it relax and become more pliable for installation. Another thing is if it is cool outside the rubber Matt will stretch in the summer and be lumpy. Try to get it about a little above warm to the touch before installing and get the seat and seat belt in first then the door trim so it will be straight for you. Hope this helps Mike and great job again.
Duluth Trading Firehose Pants are awesome.!!! Put the roller on the paint roller, use an air nozzle to spin the roller and the loose fuzz will fly right off
You can tell how good a craftsman is by the size of his hammer.
Or when they uses a drill,vise grip as a hammer😂
Thanks for the update, enjoy watching, all I will say about the truck is “ ain’t my truck, you do it your way, it’s your truck, I just like the videos”!!!😮😊😂
"I think you.re confused by my level of care" best comment of the post, I.m sure i.ll use that , if you don.t mind mike.
Great to be back with you on your journey.. all the best.
From Scotland
Baliader with built in knee pads Worth every cent!
Carhartt double front work pants. They are my favorite.
Cap’n, I subscribe to many different channels, several are your neighbors. While everyone works hard, in my book, you are the hardest working guy of the bunch. Keep the good stuff coming and thanks!
Carhartt pants for sure. Definitely not cheap, but are comfortable and long lasting.
I have a 94 F250 and a 97 F550 superduty. Both carry the same sheetmetal. Both have 460s. Do think strongly about using both fuel tanks. 460s love gas. You will thank yourself later.
460s are notorious for breaking exhaust manifold bolts in the heads and flanges.
You can tell if an old Ford has a 460 if....
.1. It has a massive exhaust leak.
.2. It's at a gas station.
Along with my 92 Ranger they have been the most reliable trucks I have ever owned.
Looking forward to your next video!
Cheers
Terry
Good afternoon, Captain,
A recommendation for pants would be Deluth Trading Company's fire hose flex pants. These pants last forever, I'm still working in ones that are six years old. They are very comfortable as well as durable. They do cost a bit, but if you watch for sales, you can pick them up at a fair price. I love the truck build.
The light tapy taps with the BFH! LOL! Can't wait to see this thing come together even more!
That moment about taking out the glass to paint was so cool. You are funny. 😂😂😂😂
Duluth Flex Ultimate Cargo work pants are comfy and durable. I get 2 to 3 years out of them in the electrical trade. They don’t have flaps on the back pockets either like so many cargo pants do. They’re just like Jean pockets which is my preference. The leg pockets have flaps but you can tuck them in and there’s a Velcro strip to hold them in place so they’re not annoying. There’s also a pencil/sharpie pocket on each leg, and two narrow pockets. One deeper and one shallower. Great for carry a few hand tools
That would make a great shirt. "I think your confused with my level of care"
Brown is the running light hot wire, at all marker lights. Pants...I like the carhart double front dungarees (logger buttons) or carhart canvas duck, add suspender buttons. Also, Key coveralls are pretty durable and comfortable, if it isn't too hot.
Best work pants are from Duluth Trading The Fire Hose Work Pants.
That “carpet” is called jute. It is good for sound deadening and heat/cold insulation BUT if you think it’s going to get wet as in submerged don’t put it in. As an upholsterer I would use it but don’t glue it down. The seat will pinch it in place between the floor and the top matting. Plus if you put the vinyl floor out in the sun for a little bit it will be easier to get it to lay flat inside the cab and easier to work with
Appreciate the tips! Thank you sir
Now I can see how this will turn out.
I thought it would be an old jalopy, but this will be a real truck.
really enjoy the silliness, Make smile with a good giggle of humor. She is coming a long well and all the prep work will pay off riding in it doing it's intended job. KUDOS
Baby taps with your sledge hammer. Didn't know you had that in your arsenal!
Don't worry about comfort, Duluth Trading... "Fire Hose pants"
I use Carhartt pants. Very comfortable, horrible longevity.. But I bought some of the Duluth and they were tough, but the comfort was so bad I went back to Carhartt..... At least they are cheaper than Duluth and I usually can get a couple years out of them if I don't snag them on something!
Key bib overalls!
I'm a fat guy and hate belts.
Carharrt bibs are the bomb, but I'm also old, and kinda like lighter weight stuff now.
Love the blue bibs, but I have one pair of the blue and white striped bibs, because that's what my grandpa wore.
I do have 3 pair of Duluth firehose stretch cargo pants in black for flagging tractor pulls. They are unbeatable. And are fairly comfortable.
For jeans I do have Duluth ballroom jeans. And they ain't named ballroom jeans for dancing!!! Croutch without the ouch!!😂
Absolutely worry about comfort. No reason to be uncomfortable all day
find an old speaker, knock the magnet off the back, put it in a plastic sandwich bag. works great for cleaning up ferrous material.
Can't wait till the first dump. Make sure it's a good one 😮
Good job Capt. Its really coming together. Thank you for wearing respirator and face mask, its very important to do so. Great work.
Harbor Freight has a magnet in a frame holder with a plunger to pull the magnet away from the swarf so you can easily dispose of the waste in the trash, one handed.
I salvaged a magnet from a non-working microwave oven - they're very strong. I set it inside a 4"x 4"x 4" plastic potato salad container. Pass the container over anything steel, then hold the container over the trash can, and lift up just the magnet. All the steel then just drops into the trash.
I've tried all the brands and have been with Duluth Flex pants for the past probably 8 years or so!!!
Saw a CL mid-80's Chevy dump for $500 in TX with no title, reduced from $800 because they just wanted it off their newly purchased land, you could become a professional dump truck restorer.
That interior process does seem very satsfying to watch all the parts build back up. Excellent progress again!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Truck is looking great. Glad your starting to do something about your lung health. You might think about getting one of the powered units that filters and then blows fresh air into the area around your face. Positive pressure around your face. They make some nice ones for carpenters to avoid wood dust and stay cool and comfortable. The only warning I did read one time was to avoid eating foods that give you gas if your rig has a belt hung compressor. Really sucks when you gas yourself. Wishing you and your family the best.
I really like the Ridgecut brand pants that Tractor Supply sells. Have several pair. Never ripped them before. They stretch and are comfortable to wear.
Harbor Freat has a 3" magnet in welding supply. Has 3/8 bolt in the center. "To use as ground". Good and strong.
Captain, You're doing a great job. I went through this on a smaller Chevy S-10 4x4 for my grandson.I learned a lot but I don't care If I ever do another. I'm 71 and should have known better. The grinding without a mask really made me sick. Better now and this summer the truck will get painted but not by me. Keep you health for your families sake and wear a respirator. God Bless and keep the videos coming.
If you wrap the roller with masking tape than pull it off it takes all the loose fluff with it, and if you roll the tape on it’s just a fun game rolling it back off... I need to get back to work now
I like the Duluth Firehouse flex pants for work pants. Very comfortable and durable at the same time. You just have to be patient and watch for a sale.
A small speaker magnet on a string to drag across the bench, or lay it next to or under what you are drilling. A fellow could think of more Im sure
Yes I did catch your Brad Pitt in the movie SEVEN impression........ Very accurate 😊
Mike, at the very beginning of the video, what you were saying was carpet is not it is also another layer of sound deading. The thin foil layer is for vibration noises. The felt is for road noises
Professional homeowner is what you are
A long time ago when I worked in a wrecking yard I was surprised to learn that the ford ranger pickup truck had the same sterling box as the f150 through f350 trucks as it was common part we just would always grab one out of the rangers pickup they were never bad .
For work pants, I love TrueWerk. I use them for my duty pants at the firehouse and also for work on our acreage.
Probably too late, but if you set that rubber floor mat in the other cab it might help it mold/shape itself to the floor board if you close the cab up and the sun warms things up. Then when you drop it in the good cab it will lay right in and fit better sooner.
👍 Yep, masking tape dab those rollers first. Comfortable work pants... Just go to some thrift stores and pick up a bunch of jeans that fit decent, have you priced "real" work pants. With all that overlap on that Killmat you could have finished that engine firewall, suggest still doing that while the doing's good, stop it before it hits the metal is best. Truck looking great bro!
Mike... 2 points:
- I've recently begun buying used military uniform pants... very comfy to me, utilitarian, and cheap ($50/pr for Carhartt/Milwaukee/etc. Works well in our backwoods locale and I don't cry when they get ripped, stained, painted, or burned...
- I purchased an Evolution magnetic wand specifically to remove "swarf" (steel/iron giblets from drilling/milling)... just move it around your workbench, hold it over the trash can, pull the plunger/magnet up and the bits all fall off (also works well for collecting spilled screws/nails). It was bit spendy compared to other options ($10 more), but works great!
I use a magnet from an old DC motor, Place it in a plastic bag (ziplock type). Wave it over the bench/floor. The swarf is on the plastic bag. Open the bag. Remove Magnet. Swarf falls into trash. Speaker magnets also work well for this. I leave the magnet in a bag stuck to my grinder. I'm just cheap.
Work pants, I love the double knee carhartt duck pants. Not cheap, but quality stuff. I usually look for seconds or irregulars. Save some money, because I will ruin them anyhow.
wrap the roller with tape and when you pull off the tape most of the loose fibers on the roller will come off.
I loved my 86 F-150 with vinyl floor mat because it was so easy to brush out the mess after muddy boots in rainy season. Just kept a whisk broom in the door pocket and no need to mess with cords and vacuum cleaners. Anyone who worked on muddy construction sites knows what I mean. Just easier to keep up with and keep clean.
Very cool Captain, glad to see you get a respirator for cutting and grinding/wire wheeling. I think it is going to be a fine dump truck and many of your acquaintances are going to become friends when you get this puppy on the road!!
I am sometimes amazed that so many suggestions for "how to do the thing we just watched a video of someone doing" are offered on all the channels I watch. However, I still enjoy watching someone else do a better job at "fixin' stuff" than I ever do, thanks for the video, take care.
You could do with a slightly smaller tack hammer 🔨 Captain
You just gotta admire a Man with a plan.
Thank You for reading my comment, at this time in the build saying You don't know what You are doing is wrong. Research and record keeping is the way any competent person does any project,and at this time this is yours. Make it your' own. spend a little more time and make the Flagship truck and put your' logo on it as a representation of what You stand for , "Self-reliance , hard work, tenacity and logic" to be proud of and for all to see!
I am a fan has done and are still doing the same thing privately.
Continued good Vibes
G
A lot of people forget to put sound dampening on there windshield (all windows) to cut down on wind & rain noise.
Lots of progress and funny moments Captain. It sounded really good when you fired it up and hit the horn 😂
Stay motivated!
Keep on trucking!
Your humor cracks me up 🇨🇦🙂
Try a pair of Duluth trading fire hose pants 👖. You being a fire man you will appreciate it.
Looking good Mike! A heat gun might help convince that floor covering to cooperate and lay down nice and flat.
Mike I love your choice of hammers for the delicate work!!
I've been wearing Duluth pants for years now and they really hold up to the abuse.
Agree with Duluth
I reccomend Duluth Trading Co Fire Hose work pants.
Mike i have seen some people take 800 grit sandpaper to the lint and use a can of clear coat to seal the paint just a taught, nice progress today,i am almost as excited as you to see the cab on the frame, great video 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
On the pant front, Costco have a “Cat” work pant that are lined for cold weather, made of a very heavy but stretchable material super comfortable. After 2 years no tears, and the bonus is a great price (mid $20’s) for the budget minded person…..kind of aligned with your budget minded build.
I will check those out. Thank you!
Duluth Trading also has a really comfortable lined pant
You could take your comedy show on the road! The narrative as you work is too funny! Keep up the great videos.
Excellent choice of safety helmet & respirator. Being a firefighter has had an effect on your lungs. Important to protect.
"We actually get pulmonary function tests.." Mask on to prevent inhaling rust dust. Mask off to apply and inhale acetone! Mike, there goes 3 more years! 😂😂 Since we know your level of care, we're assuming that you checked around the windows for any pockets of rust (Yes lord, I took care of every spot of rust on this truck, except the windows and I don't know why you made them fall out)? 😂😂 Now you got me curious on how much "level of care" will go into the dump bed! 😁😁
Front clip generally means all the body panels forward of the cab , fenders , core support , grill , etc , minus the hood .
I would have held off putting the core support in , and put a real primer on it and then painted it .
But mostly to make the engine install less of a PIA .
You should be able to shoehorn that engine in regardless , but it's your project after all .
Hope to see it hauling fairly soon .
👍👍
Hey Mike, take a piece of tape. fold it around your hand with the sticky side out. and roll it on your new roller. It will remove the lint. Keep up the good work it looks good to me.
As always you always put a smile on my face every morning when you post a video. Enjoying the build of the dump truck. I can hardly wait until it's on the road. Thank you for sharing your adventures.😊
Foam rollers leave better finish. Looking good man.
Before using a paint roller try taping it up with masking tape or lint roller tape. As you then remove the tape it pulls/ removes the loose lint from the roller. Makes for a more lint free finish.
If you lay the mat in on the floor of the truck, take a blow dryer or heat gun and warm it up so it will lay flat to the contours better! Or lay the mat out in the sun, take care Mike! 🙋🏼
I have Enjoying hell out of this Truck Build . And all other Content .
YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE THE GLASS OUT. IT'S CALLED TAPE AND IF YA DO IT RIGHT, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL. Also it's a budget build. Personally I rather have it running on the road instead on jack stands for 10 years while everyone else is rippin n runnin 👍👍
It was mentioned before, but its worth mentioning again, wrapping rollers in painters tape and then peeling it off pulls most of the loose fibers out/off. Rinse and repeat until little to no fibers come off. I found its the key to making cheap roller covers work almost like expensive ones!
good stuff, wrap the roller with tape it should remove the lint.
I use rollers for primer on projects, reduced correctly and with a decent application it lays out nice before I sand it..
not sure I get the sound deadening on a property truck, but good job none the less...
I've tried a bunch of brands and styles and I really like Truewerk T2 pants. They hold up great for me and are very comfortable and a bit stretchy for crawling around under a truck or backhoe.
I know I’m using that line about (confused about my level of care)
*of course credit will be given to the captain
Front core support saved you a lot of time
It is looking good it does not have to be perfect it is a work truck
youll have to adjust the ignition switch once you get to the point of starting
Carhartt work cargo pants were great for me when i was working with Spectrum Communications. Sometimes I just go the cheap wrangler jeans from walmart route as well. i mean you can get like 4 pairs of wranglers for 1 pair of carhartt LOL
Car-hart pants are the best work pants by far, I use them when I weld, and mechanic, and operate equipment.
for a man that says he doesnt know what he is doing you do better than anyone i know
Foam rollers are king for smoothest finish with TS equiptment paint, 2-3 coats with hardener and you are set for life
Looking good Mike, the paint scheme is going to be great 👍🏻
@6:58
When all else fails grab the BFH.
Also grab it if it’s closer than the one you actually want and are too “busy” to get up and get it.
That multi-colored mostly grey stuff you called carpet was actually more sound deadening material.
And heat insulation (especially under the passenger side seat)
I'm aware...it's a carpet material...hints why I call it carpet. It's hold moisture like a sponge between the final floor and the floor pan
@@CaptainKleeman Yup, soaks up spilled milk real well. Oh the smell! Had to cut a whole bunch out.
Ahhh, using the yellow handled “persuader” again. That tool is becoming very useful.
