      With the "go fund me" money plus all the other donations (money, tools, devices etc.), Halfass kustoms received over 100.000 CAD already. Therefore a decent new shop can be built for sure. Of course it's very sad to have lost so much memorabilia. But maybe his new shop will be even better than the old one ever was.

      Dear @@j.c.smithprojects
      What? I simply can't get my head around this. Let me get this straight: Your "friend" lied to you and you knew that he would lie before it even happened!? Because you know this guy for over 40 years and he always behaved the same? It definitely hurts me to hear something like this!
      Additionally: This video was painful to watch. Somehow the unfinished truck and the owner came back to haunt you again. Or let me better say: You let them haunt you again. Unfortunately I know things like this out of my own experience too well. Like you I often just want(ed) to help. But too often it turned out to be "casting pearls before swines", sigh.
      Seeing that the owner bolted the rusty, not even primed brackets onto the well painted/preserved frame, is simply terrible. You put so much work/effort into this truck and he does not care respectively seems not to appreciate this at all. Sir, to be a philanthropist and altruist does not mean that you should suffer respectively act masochistic simultaneously. I know that this is often easier said than done.
      Take care of yourself, your wife and Jeff.
      Best regards, luck especially health to all of you.

That should be his first concern also. He seems to have cost on his mind first, which is understandable. But he needs to realize that his truck doesn't occupy the roads alone . There are other people and vehicles there too. So thank you for your concerns and the work you do to satisfy those concerns and the safety of him and others.

  • @aserta
    @aserta Год назад

    31:21 i've had this issue in the past, and a quick and dirty solution to get a good solid thing to work against is to put a chain around the tire, not around the axle, but the tire itself (running over the chain) and then you have top and bottom grab points to pull against to tweak stuff back into shape. The weight of the truck will keep it from moving. This works particularly good for bent stuff in the middle of the truck.

    What a awesome video. Learned 2 things from this: to save your drill pits and solder wires. So for me this video already proved to be worth watching. I guess with the huge water shortage right now this truck might eventually pay itself back? I liked how you straightened the front pumper. Reminded me of a guy who tried to get left hand tread nuts off a wheel and was using one million curse words and gorilla noises mixed together. Until I told him, dude it has left hand threads. He would still not believe me until I used one of his impact guns and opened all 6 nuts for him. After that incident he took me seriously every time I walked into the shop. PS. Well done on helping Halfass customs recover from the shop fire.

    You're a saint J.C.! Definitely is a frustrating situation to say the least. That truck is no doubt a roach, and of course the previous owners never addressed any of those issues or maintenance items on that drivetrain. You were dead on when you said "the more you look, the worse it gets." I was thinking that when you were showing all the leaks near the front of the motor. Having that radiator recored ain't gonna be cheap either. I can only imagine how much worse some of that stuff is in person and not on a small phone screen. I guess if there is a "bright side," at least you're getting some content out of this thing. I know you're chomping at the bit to get back on to your projects and I definitely don't blame you. You made that bumper look good BTW too! 👍

    I like from the materials you have laying around goes a long way to help your builds and others people's.
    When you weld goes it matter if you take the negative of the batteries to stop surges damaging the vehicles electrics like on car's.
    Chasing rub out wires is a pain when they could be in wrapped in wiring harness. Vibration are a pain I watch plenty of video's from vehicles to Air con units as most breaks are hidden in tubes and the only way to find is testing each wire which eats in to time.

    I'm not surprised that it came back since you were not finished with it. This guy reminds me of the "professional trucker" that ruined that truck you purchased because the check engine was flashing and he kept going. We'll see if he puts duals on that tag axle for proper weight distribution, but my guess is he will only listen if DOT puts a OOS sticker on the windshield. I would move the plow lights lower, but its not my truck.

  • @hankblossom
    @hankblossom Год назад

    Just a couple observations, I was of the understanding that you don't solder wires on vehicles especially big trucks because of the vibration it can crack and break, also just because it holds 5000 gallons doesn't mean you have to put that much in it just load it to the weight the truck can handle. And that's enough straightening on the bumper it will probably get bent again.

    • @j.c.smithprojects
      @j.c.smithprojects  Год назад

      ever module, computer and switch has solder in it....if that was the case, manufacturers wouldnt solder their splice joints when being built but they certainly do. i have never had to repair a break from a splice being soldered. everything about trucking is "payload for profit" there are not going to load it lighter if the truck can carry it. just not how trucking works.

    You’re allowed 34k on the tandems but if you have the 3rd axle within 9ft of the tandems than each axle only gross 13k so on that truck you can do 12ksteer 13k, 13k,13k, total 51k gvwr

    That’s a shame the owner is so impatient and the person driving it is just a steering wheel attendant and not a real driver who looks after his equipment he operates

    U can just go to 255/70’s on the lift axle to get lil more ground clearance and easily can handle the 17k lbs with 4 tires.. I’m sure u know all this but

      yes sir. i am fighting the travel distance of the lift axle. shorter tires mean it has to travel farther to touch the road. i cant spare that if i can avoid it.

    jc i wonder how many thousands hes spent buying the bad work then the new frame on a old rig . imo he spent more than if he found a decent used truck in running condition . i like older trucks but sonetime the cost benefit dont make sense

      he couldnt buy it set up this way for what he has in it. it wouldnt be cost effective if he had to take it to a shop to have all the work done.

      think what you like. i said i would see it through and that is exactly what i am going to do. the only thing that matters is who i am and how i conduct myself. now, if he asked to do this again it will be a completely different agreement than it was with this truck.

    Why in the hell did he do that with the headlights? I bet he thought he was being pretty creative.

    • @SmittysSpareTimeProjects
      @SmittysSpareTimeProjects Год назад

      I know the previous owner of the truck, and the headlights were mounted up that high because this truck plowed snow before the current owner bought it. They had to either move the headlights, or add snowplow lights. So they chose to move them. It looks silly, but served the purpose at the time.

    Those headlight have to be illegal being that high up. Also they look hideous

    • @SmittysSpareTimeProjects
      @SmittysSpareTimeProjects Год назад

      Agree on the hideous Part, and you may be right on the illegal part. But, the previous owner plowed snow with it and the plow blocked the factory headlights so they were relocated. Should be moved back, but don't tell the current owner that or my dad will probably be relocating them and rewiring them lol
