best channel on you tube- no cussing-no fussing- no clickbait . good job Captain
Are ya even working on something if there's no cussin?
@@TheDistur. Not me! You obviously understand 😮😅😂😊😊😊
And the running commentary is first rate!
Agree!!
What a transformation. You took junk and turned it into a working vehicle. Nice.
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who "modifies" a floor jack with a block of wood or two. Thanks for the video, take care.
6”x6” underneath and a 4”x4” on top! 😃👍
I think if you own a floor jack it is a requirement that from time to time you modify with a block of wood or two.
mine is attached to a bottom board with 1-2 2x4 on top. Depending on what I’m doing.
nice to see that i am not the only one who uses face muscles when a little bit more strength is needed, great work Mike it's looking awesome, great video 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome job on putting on the new aluminum box and awesome job on fixing the shock mount rail
👍 That style bed will be utilized way more than a dump bed for all the different projects you have going on, nice job.
Cap't you are the master of innovation operating alone, great job.
Mike, we need to have a lot of young folks watch you to see what a great work ethic looks like. I know there are still a lot that have it already, but some that don't now days. Great to see things are working out for you. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. May you continue to be abundantly blessed and thanks for the hard work both in doing the work and videoing everything. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.
What a nice job without overspending the budget. I just love how you get the most out of basically nothing and learning as you go along. AWESOME !
Great job, Captain…the truck is looking good with that new bed!
Thanks Mike, I always learn something when I watch your videos and I appreciate your patience and humorous bantering when you’re struggling to get new parts mated with old parts. Thanks!
They hate when you do that!!! Captain is a regular Kool Aid man....OHHH YEAAA!!! 😅😅
Great work Captain as usual, great truck.
Thanks!
Nice build Captain, that body is definitely far more useful than the one you took off. Look forward to seeing it in action. 👍
Great video. You are a great technician figuring out how to make your product better. Love it.👍🇺🇸
The old wooden port-a-power. Nice.
Wow Mike that truck looks really Awesome, very nice work Mike👍👍😎😎🍮🍮❤️❤️
Great job YOUNG MAN
Thanks!
Way to go. Keep that puppy rolling!
Your channel is excellent...
Thank you!
Fits like a glove, Captain 😁
I think you put everything back on..... couldn't see anything lying around 😂
That work tent will fit inside the shade tree workshop perfectly !
Mike- spoiler, The “tent” is pre assembled 😮. Love the frame spreader! Cut to fit, hammer to install, works most of the time 😂. You really enlighten my life with your commentary- do you practice with the wife and kids? Or just us gullible viewers 😂😂😂- 😊
Great work Mike ,since you have a flat bed may want to consider an over load spring kit cause you got more space for more weight ....
Looks like a pro did the job to me! That bed made that into a much more user friendly truck for you in my opinion, looking forward to see how you make use of it now, nice job, thanks for the update, enjoyed watching.
Yep, that brake line tool is “so easy that even a caveman, I mean an a “Kleeman” could do it”…
Nice work on the retrofitting of a flatebed/dumpbed. Great video series,
Thank you sir.
keep up with all the great videos. I do like watching you work on so many different things and projects.
Whew!
At the 26:30 mark I thought you were going to BEND your side gate! Good job bud!
One of the greatest ways to alternative solutions is to do things yourself. I do 98.32541% of my projects alone. At 68 it’s still great to be inspired! Thanks youngun!
what a great add on for a very useful tool for the homestead
I can already seecaptain kleeman across the side of that bed👌🏼
Now thats what Im talking about pure necessity, making the saying so true, necessity is the mother of invention, or as I like to say good enough for government work, you done well Mike. 😁😁😂
Thanks!
As others have said. Clean channels are hard to find. I mean there's plenty of dirt and grime, but the language is regular English. Thanks.
I understand why you put this part of the truck project on hold,the harder stuff is rough for me too, but like you said a heavy load off the shoulders, it's looking good and she should be the one carrying the heavy loads from now on.😊😊❤
GOOD JOB my friend 👏 GREAT PROGRESS 👍 Thanks for sharing again 😊
That's a great bed for what you do, Mike. When I saw it, I imideatly thought of the Jackson Brothers. They all have that bed on their half trucks in Australia. Good-looking work trucks never get old.
The wedge pounded in for the win! I was wondering how that pipe was going to slide in. Nice work! 👍😁
You have accomplished a lot on this video. So much closer to getting it done. I can hardly wait until the next video! There is so much to look forward to! Thanks for sharing!😊
Dont forget the blue truck looking forward to seeing that one up and running.
What truck? Lol
Good job Mike 👍🏻 Looks good, flatbeds are the way to go
Blue handled “nudger” to the rescue. Good work!
Very impressive and great to watch.
Very proactive and attentive to work
BIG job. You covered the whole range of tasks and now the fruits of your labour are yours to savour. Big job, I've done it as well but not a big truck like that. You are commended for the entire effort. It was more work than I realized with that size rig. That crossmember I had dreamed about and decided to leave my one as is. A p.i.t.a. to fit. of course it's the first one between rails when tha chassis are being made. I was smiling and cringing as you were bashing away at it, not sure if you were getting it in without stripping the bar down!
Like the video Capt , Now Its going to a very nice truck .
Great job, love how you get things to come together.
Fantastic I love your wood port a power to spread the frame.
shock mount/cross member fought every step of the way but Capt got it done. landscape bed sits bit high, creates some challenges in terms of loading but the benefits outweight that. unhacking wiring harness a smart move Capt. always so much fun trying to figure what PO did much less getting their cobbled mess to work right. mudflaps or fenders in the 2500's future? a 55 gallon drum sectioned make for some cheap easy 'fenders'
Excellent Progress this truck is going to love its new bed and fresh frame paint! Those blue wire taps suck so bad they should be outlawed.
Boy I bet you are one happy camper. Great milestone.
Mike it's always interesting how doing things are self what an how we turn are self inside out holding an jacking at the same time... Thanks had a nice laugh seeing you do what I have done many times.... Great job an video..
Hey Captain, I have used the plastic, black distribution boxes on my trucks. They have a ton of posts and the box is weatherproof. Great way to do diagnosis for trailers, etc, especially if you run power and brakes on heavier trailers. Also gives you extra terminals to run accessories. Just a thought.
Great job Captain, this rig will definitely come in handy on your homestead.
Aluminum bed looks great on the 2500 , Mike! It’s nice when you do everything right, I like the way you cleaned the frame and protected it with paint! Thanks for sharing brother, Kirk in Louisiana sending prayers and positive vibes to you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯
You are definitely getting there Mike, well done. “What brakes”😂😂😂😂😂😂
great job on the truck build...
Great job Michael.
Hi Mike. Most of the videos I've seen for replacing crossmembers show them cutting a big square hole in the side of the frame to slide the new one in. I like how you did it much better. You did have to convince the new part to get into its home, but you didn't have a huge hole to fill up afterwards. I have to replace that same crossmember on mine, as well as a couple others so glad that you showed what yours was like. The new bed looks good. Having the sides fold down should be pretty convenient for loading with a forklift.
A bigger hole would have definitely made it easier. If I had more confidence in my welding I probably would have went that route
That flaring kit looks like it really takes the "art" out of flaring. I've done a lot of flares that could be described as "abstract".
Not the hand saw to open the cardboard box lololol
Thank you for the continued great content and all of the laughs.
Nice job sir Nice truck sir good show 😃👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Thank you once again Capt!
Stronger go faster better then before nicely done now if it would only dump lol great watch Captain 👩✈️👍👋🇨🇦
You’re doing great Mike. We love this stuff.
Sometimes a fellow just doesn't have anything to say so he just leaves a comment for the algorithm. 😸
You do like to have fun LOL Love it !
I want a bed like that on my truck looking good buddy
You got alot done ✔in this video!
Great rebuild and its looking good. Just need to hang a couple of those fancy mud flaps that C&C sell. Thanks for another great video.
They aught to give him a pair if he is going to advertise their name everywhere he goes.
I love your videos funny n always learn something new. We have flat beds on our work trucks n when they put em on they put a piece of conveyor belt n a lil square between the bed n frame to give it some cushion n no squeaky squeaky lol awesome job ole girl looks good
Love your work captain you inspire people to get things done you do great work keep it up look forward to your videos cheers Jill Australia 🇦🇺 🐨
Great job as usual Mike,peace brother…
I really enjoy the videos. Cracks me up. And I learn some stuff.
Great job Captain it looks good
Just dropping by to see what you have going on... and it's the bed going on, so for a little bit of Miking around (doing things your own way) I think you did very well! :)
Nicely done. Looks great.
Hardener actually makes the paint dry slower but with a little more gloss.
Yould be the first person, including the paint company, to say that I believe.
LIKE IT 😉
I just like watching.
Great progress good to see you still smiling captain.
Thank a lot , another great video, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing!
Appreciate ya watching!
Nice job Captain
Good morning sunshine! Great job! Glad to see the bed on! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA
Awesome video! As usual. I love your tenaciousness.
If I were putting that bed on and had to adjust for the frame width I would have taken it as a sign from the gods to build a sub-frame and put Hinges on it and a scissor dump cylinder and an electric hydraulic pump like a dump trailer. I just couldn't resist making it dump. I know it's only a 3/4 ton. But the weight addition would easily be offset by the aluminum the bed is made from.
It would be so easy to make that thing dump. PLUS you could do it in stages. Add the Hinges one day. Then always add the hydraulics another time.
Like I said at the first. GREAT VIDEO!
I watch all of them.
Great job Captain! Truck is looking good
Looking good, well done 😊
Turned out good brother. Stay frosty.
Need to find a under bed box for the passenger side, looking great Mike
That.a good truck
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Bed looks great on the truck. Definitely an upgrade to the stock option. Thanks for including finishing painting the bottom of the frame and fixing the cancer on the cab. Had my fingers twitching waiting to comment. 😂 looking forward to watching your upcoming videos. Wishing you and your family the best.
I’ve never been quickner to click a video.
Looking good. Going to be a nice work truck
I love watching your videos. You're very smart and i enjoy learning more about you. Awesome. Thanks for sharing, - Terry from Olympia, WA.
