JASON, O.M.GOD, you have taken the build to another level. It's nice to see that high school boy. Wow, come back to you. Do you remember that tingling in your spine? Well, you just done it mate. Thanks. Keep the videos coming, best regards as always John. North East UK 🇬🇧
When I was a young man my father asked me if I wanted his ID19 Citroen for my first car. The cool factor was irresistible even though my Mom's car would have been a better choice. One of the things that was the coolest about the Citroen was that it had an adjustable air/oil suspension which could be adjusted from within the car from 3" to 16" ground clearance. I would freak people out at stop lights by adjusting the height lever up to its highest position and then dropping it back down, this was around 1972 and I hadn't even heard of Low Riders at the time. Great video Jason thumbs up.
The patina on that truck is superb! Great job with the air ride, it wasn’t quite as involved as I thought it would be. Good luck with the rest of the project, Jason 🙂
I just found your channel and started watching this build. Great work. I did notice that you have some toe in when lifted then toe out when lowered. You’ll have to make sure your tie rod is parallel with your lower control arm. It’s a common problem with drop spindles. You probably have already figured that out by now. But I fought that on my Silverado for quite a while until I found out what was wrong. Just wanted to throw that out there for you. Keep up the good work and the videos are spot on.
Thank you, Rick! I’m replacing all of the steering linkages so nothing is more than finger tight. Once I get it all swapped out I’ll definitely take a closer look. Thanks for the heads up!
Lost video footage? Yep - been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It turns out my problem was a faulty SD card. Now I have 2 backup SD cards, and I shoot on 3 cameras. I might not get "the best" footage, but at least I get something - lol. That truck is gonna be one sweet ride!
Thank you, Mark! I went through a spell of losing footage but it’s been a while. One card it had several unrecognizable files. Maybe the card is my problem.
@@NorthwestSawyer A new card is a cheap option. If it turns out not to be the cause of the trouble, you at least haven't spent a ton of money, and you can always use another SD card.
The first truck I bought when I was 15 was a 1959 Chevy Apache fleetside. I had big plans but never finished it. I’m hoping I’ll get this one done sooner than later.
Jason, yourself loathing of this video is undeserved! This video is better than most you tubers best efforts. Can't weight to see the finished product, but I don't see it as a "sawmill" log truck :) John
JASON!!! Sucks when you gotta fabricate tools (wood dolly) to fabricate parts , to then work on the actual job ! Totally awesome build! I'd say you're ready for "clear coat"... ( after you fabricate the paint booth?) Lol
Echo the sentiemtns that lost footage or no; it was still great to see your progress. And espeically to hear your excitement at the end result..."Dang that looks good!"
You don't need to apologize for this video. It was entertaining and cool to see. If it was supposed to be instructional you wouldn't have a sawmill and woodworking focused channel. Correct me if I'm wrong. I love watching your work of all types!
Howdy, again, love the work i n progress, say for the clearance of the airbag and frame, when fully deflated, you have good clearance. However, do the bags expand a bit in diameter when aired up?
Really like your work..I have 54 chevy 4400 trying to figure out front ifs..I have a 76 gmc c30 done or 99 suburban k2500. My question how did you get dually wheels on front with single wheel hubs????
Thank you, Rex! I currently have 2” spacers on it but Lowboy Motorsports out of AZ makes widened A-arms that I’m switching to once they show up. Should be any day. I’ll definitely show the install. Stay tuned!😉
Posting something is better than nothing. Nice dolly for moving cab around for mock-ups. Hope you can use your truck to actually do some pick-up & delivery & fly your colors. Hope your sooner w/next truck vid, good watch.
Is that considered ok to bring the airline through the upper control arm? I have a 51 that’s done in that way and am worried about the arm rubbing the line
As far as I know. I’m in the process now of running everything permanently. If you have a spot rubbing a line, I’ve seen guys split a section of old fuel line and sleeve the air line. I hope to have an update posted this weekend of everything I’m getting done.
No apologies needed! This high tech fandangled gizmopoly baffles even the most tech savvy young’n! I was born in 1958 and can BARELY operate my iPhone. I’m not smarter than a 5th Grader or a Smart (@$$) phone!
I hope you’re working carefully. Those metal parts hurt a lot worse than a cedar plank. Great work on the truck; video of working on the truck, not so much, lol. 🥸👍🔧👀✅
Content officially approved!!!!!!! 👍….. more pls, thanks for taking us along.
Thank you!

Thank you, John! It’s a lot of fun to have the opportunity to make this happen.

Thank you, Craig. I don’t know how I know, but somehow I knew the Citroen had air suspension??? Maybe it’s all the British car shows I watch😂
Hey! Cool stuff is still in here. That's cool, you can really see the camber change with the lifting/lowering of the rig. Nicely done.
Thank you! The camber and alignment change a bunch. I’ll never drive it at the extremes but it’ll be fun while it’s parked.
Cool starts at ground level. Really cool ride.
Thank you!
The patina on that truck is superb! Great job with the air ride, it wasn’t quite as involved as I thought it would be. Good luck with the rest of the project, Jason 🙂
Thank you! I can’t wait to get back to it.
Nice work, your truck ROCKS and looks tough!!
The video was pretty good, Jason. I didn't see a major problem with it at all. I enjoyed seeing you like a kid in a candy store at the end.
Bill
Thank you, Bill! I really was hoping to show more of the process here. I spent a lot of time messing with camera angles trying to bring everyone in.
That was awesome! Great job! Nice fab work! Nice plan. Nice plan put together. Well done! She's looks amazing! Thanks for the most enjoyable content!
Thank you! I can’t wait to see it come together.
@@NorthwestSawyer We have that in common, my friend! 😉 Have a wonderful weekend!
@@RXRSawdustStation there’s 6” of snow at my house but I’ve been in Palm Springs all week😎😂
@@NorthwestSawyer That's great place to be - in Winter! 😆
Took me 15 years to re-do my old Dodge. LOL
Back in the day when Hemmings Motor News was the primary source for parts and had to communicate by mail..
I remember those days for sure. It’s much easier now.😉

Going to be away cool ride. And a work truck to boot,building such a project is trile
Thank you!
Going to be a mean machine, sorry to hear you had recording problems.
Thank you! I’ll get it ironed out on the next one😉
He was so honest in the pre-video disclaimer that I subscribed before I even watched the video... 💪🏾🔥
Thank you! No BS here!😉
Love the variety! Best channel out there! Not sure why you don't have 1 million subs! But you will someday.
Thank you! In the meantime, I’ll keep making crappy videos😂

Good video brother. I know you wanted more out of it but I’m a satisfied customer.
Thank you, Jason!
This is the time, it's going 2 B BADASS friend 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🐺🇺🇸 going 2 see all of them 🎉
Thank you!
@@NorthwestSawyer 👍🏽
I have a 1950 GMC, I’m 58 and I’ve had it since I was 11. I have it all apart, I need to get back on it.
i think every body at our age has a project they need to gat back on . Cool truck
The first truck I bought when I was 15 was a 1959 Chevy Apache fleetside. I had big plans but never finished it. I’m hoping I’ll get this one done sooner than later.
Nice, sawmill truck or Chico mobile either one its great.
Thank you!

Wow, thanks John! I might hook it up to the mill once or twice😂
Looks great! I don’t think you will miss any subscribers cause I love watching the progress and the videos.
Best Regards
Fred Thomas in Skokie IL.
Thank you very much, Fred!
New subscriber. I’m just here to steal ideas. I’m starting a 49 Chevy project in September. Love the content
Thank you and welcome to the show. I hope to have a new truck video up soon.
@@NorthwestSawyer thank you. I look forward to watching it. It’s getting harder and harder to find good content
Well Done. Looks sweet.
Thank you!
JASON!!! Sucks when you gotta fabricate tools (wood dolly) to fabricate parts , to then work on the actual job !
Totally awesome build!
I'd say you're ready for "clear coat"... ( after you fabricate the paint booth?) Lol
Thank you, John! I don’t think a little sawdust in the clear coat will hurt. 😂
Echo the sentiemtns that lost footage or no; it was still great to see your progress. And espeically to hear your excitement at the end result..."Dang that looks good!"
Thank you! I’m really loving how it’s coming together.
I really enjoy all your vlogs regardless the content, I’m sure I’m not alone, keep um coming 😊
Thank you so much!
You don't need to apologize for this video. It was entertaining and cool to see. If it was supposed to be instructional you wouldn't have a sawmill and woodworking focused channel. Correct me if I'm wrong. I love watching your work of all types!
Thank you! It’s a ton of extra work to film the process so it’s a real bummer when the footage is lost.
It still was fun watching
I appreciate that!
Badass man! oh and those bags with the crimped ring suck lol
Thank you! Only if you over inflate them😉
Only you know what's missing. However, the video was spot on... informative to the point...
Thank you, Steven! I did the best I could with what I had😉
So some guy in Estacada, Oregon has a 1950 Chevy PU on air rides. No freaking way. Next thing ya know your new shop will have indoor plumbing .....LOL
I don’t want to burst your bubble but….😂
Lost footage or not, I enjoyed seeing you work on the low rider.
Thank you! I can’t wait to keep moving forward on it.
man that's a Beauty!!!!!
Thank you!
Howdy, again, love the work i n progress, say for the clearance of the airbag and frame, when fully deflated, you have good clearance. However, do the bags expand a bit in diameter when aired up?
Thank you! The bags actually shrink in diameter when aired up.
Freaking cool Jason!
Thank you!
Perfect timing 31 seconds in and its a truck episode
Hopefully that’s a good thing😉
@@NorthwestSawyer Great start to my weekend Thanks for sharing ,the rain sounded biblical .🌧🌧
@@paulthompson8613 awesome! I guess there’s several inches of snow now. I’m in Palm Springs until Sunday 😎
Awesome video!!!
Thank you!
Awesome audio on the rain. Do you download the video, make copy of it and then edit the copy for posting here?
Thank you! That rain audio is just the audio from other clips in the video. The time lapse video doesn’t record audio so instead of music, I did this.
Really like your work..I have 54 chevy 4400 trying to figure out front ifs..I have a 76 gmc c30 done or 99 suburban k2500.
My question how did you get dually wheels on front with single wheel hubs????
Thank you, Rex! I currently have 2” spacers on it but Lowboy Motorsports out of AZ makes widened A-arms that I’m switching to once they show up. Should be any day. I’ll definitely show the install. Stay tuned!😉
Is it okay if the tires touch the inner fenders when it's slammed all the way down? You wouldn't actually be driving then anyway. Right? Looking good.
That’s correct. Typically I wouldn’t be driving it that way.
Another great vid 👌☝️
Thank you!
you're far too hard on yourself. I loved this video!
Thank you, Tony. It was going to be much better😉
@@NorthwestSawyer I have watched all of your videos and love them all
@@tonygorham thank you! I appreciate that
Posting something is better than nothing. Nice dolly for moving cab around for mock-ups. Hope you can use your truck to actually do some pick-up & delivery & fly your colors. Hope your sooner w/next truck vid, good watch.
Thank you, Dan. I’m hoping the process goes a little faster from here out.
You're still saving 80K.
It’s early 😂
That is an awesome truck! Look forward to more build videos. What plasma cutter did you use?
Thank you! That’s a Powermax 30 XP. It’s a great machine for the price.
Great video I have a question what frame are you using? Sorry I didn't catch that sorry very interested I have a 49 chevy
Thank you! That’s a ‘99 Chevy 3/4ton 2wd, standard cab, long bed frame. I have another video showing the chassis swap.
@Northwest Sawyer I must have missed that one I will look it up thank you

Cool wheels.
Thank you!
NICE!
Thank you!
What drop spindles did u use
Bell tech. I’m about to install Lowboy Motorsport’s A arm kit.
The first Low-Rider Shop Truck?
Definitely not.
Vid.was still good buddy.
Is that considered ok to bring the airline through the upper control arm? I have a 51 that’s done in that way and am worried about the arm rubbing the line
As far as I know. I’m in the process now of running everything permanently. If you have a spot rubbing a line, I’ve seen guys split a section of old fuel line and sleeve the air line. I hope to have an update posted this weekend of everything I’m getting done.
@@NorthwestSawyer thanks, I’ll. e looking forward to seeing how you get on. 👍🏾, your trucks looking the bollocks
@@cf8549 thank you! I’ve gotten a lot done in the past few days😉
sweet!
Thank you, Jeff!
What is the donor frame that is being used for this project
It’s a ‘99 Chevy 2500 2 wheel drive truck.
👍
👋🏼
Don’t know what you were worried about. Nothing wrong with this video.
Thank you! I was really wanting to show and better explain the process. I’m glad it’s watchable 😂
@@NorthwestSawyer You could always install security cameras in the shop for backup footage lol.

Ha! 😂
As much as I like the mechanics of the build I just do not get the desire for the truck to be so close to the ground.
It’s definitely not for everyone.
I hope you’re working carefully. Those metal parts hurt a lot worse than a cedar plank. Great work on the truck; video of working on the truck, not so much, lol. 🥸👍🔧👀✅
Careful working doesn’t get the views!😂😂
