My Truck Got 4ft Longer In 1 Week!!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2021
- 3 guys. 6 days. Over 150 man hours. And my truck got UPGRADED with an '06 International cutoff rear clip and an additional 50" more wheelbase. Why? Because or ride quality and cool factor. The original 8 bag suspension was nothing to write home about; plus this old work truck was in dire need of some help. It rides like dream now!
In this video I've documented all the steps we went through to make it happen. Is this the only way to a stretch & cutoff? Certainly not, there's more than 1 way to skin a cat; but it's how we do it and it works great. Comment below if you've got experience doing cutoffs and stretches. To interact with Flannel Philip head to Instagram @flannel_philip
The project is only 90% finished but it's back to work. Stay tuned for more videos on painting the frame, hubs, and the cool deck plate we're having made....
Peace & Grease ~Flannel

Good job bro it was cool watching how that whole process went 👍🏽
Beautiful job man. Wheelbase looks proper. Not too long and not too short. That frame was in great shape for a donor.

Nice stretch! It looks great.
Great job and a very big job at that. Hi kids 🖐🏻
I just found your channel. Love the truck. Nice work, beautiful shop!! !!!!!
Looks awesome!!
Hey, looks good. The only thing id have done different would have been to use c channel for the insert. But, ya kinda cant with different frame heights.
Anyway it works and thats all that matters.
Good luck with the kenneynational interworth. 😁
what you said would be the only suggestion i could have made but still a great build
Good job. Nice truck

Good job bud very nice
Great job brother
Love to see guys like u get it done and do it cause u like it
As a kid I always have loved K-WHOPPER s, Nice w900l ... Nice little stretch.. Like you said there's more than one way to skin a cat .
Excellent job
Came out great.
appreciate it looks awesome fixing to do a cabover this year helped with the planning for it
Looks awesome
Great job!
Very cool 😎 nice work
Truck looks cool. I Love it.
Looks nice. The cut was done the same way I've done mine. Running over the road with no issues at all. Thought the frame and suspension was Freightliner. Looks like an Airliner to me. But i might be wrong. Great video!
International used hendrickson suspension on that style. But it does look almost identical to airliner except airliner Frame mount brackets are solid and made of cast aluminum
Looks great bud just enough wheelbase 👍
Awesome job on the frame strech
I've seen better, and legal too.
Glad you showed it before the deck plate is on so we can actually see what was done
Very nice job I had four feet added to my Peterbilt 362 Cabover I like your watermelon lights under the cab and in the sleeper I'm definitely gonna copy that
Love you truck brother love your videos keep them coming I'll keep watching LOL merry Christmas to you and your family God bless you.
QUEDO BIEN CHINGON EL TROKE, SALUDOS DE PARTE DEL 15 TRUCKING DESDE CULIACAN, SINALOA.
Like the truck.. look beautiful 😍
Beautiful job my man.......
I'm a company driver of a local construction outfit, I drive end dump & lowboy. The end dump tractor was on its last leg so they got rid of it & got a newer tractor with a strong 2& half foot more wheelbase , that made a difference in the ride .
Straight cuts are ok if welded with the proper procedures and a frame section over or inside as long as possible to stiffen that frame that job would not pass in most places welding has to have full penetration and peened and I would have never used wire feed unless it's a flux core wire that has been tested on this type of frame material. Stick welding is a proven method must be back gouged usually I weld the inside first so I can grind out any slag and crap lot easier to work on the outside of the frame then fill and cap it just like I would do a pipe weld except I would air peen the welds to stress relieve it. I
Bridges are joined at straight cuts. They used an industry standard procedure. It’ll be fine.
For lifting the sleeper you could just use a spreader bar - then you just pick straight up from the bottom of the sleeper and the spreader bar takes the crush at the top... and you can use the spreader bar for picking anything else that is about as wide as your truck
Nice job, works for me 🎉
clean job bro
Add a second pulley to your “A” frame. Or in a pinch you can use a ratchet chain binder on one side to lift the sleeper.
Great job. Cheers 🍻
Great job
If it were my project I would also do it 'to each ur own' so go ahead 'do that damn thing bra'. Looks great!
Awesome job very similar to the way I built mine.. we are still waiting for ya down here I. Wisconsin to come pin stripe some trucks hahaha
Thanks for the video! Philippians 2...one of the greatest passages in the New Testament. I liked the video, too. The splices on that original frame looked like the work of Pakistani Truck on YT...
Nice job brother
SICK RIG!
Wow, The only thing I've ever stretched was my belt. tHanks for the video!
Great work Mate..!! love the look now, just the right amount of frame... and awesome to get rid of those previous two nasty cut and shut jobs that you discovered in the old frame... that was problem waiting to happen... can not wait to see the other 10% of the build... keep em coming... cheers cheers.
I’ve seen both ways done on stretches. Both worked. Truck looks much better
Dang that guy uses that plasma cutter like a scalpel and him a surgeon very cool...
I remember when we did that to my dad's 71 a model man that looks sharp livin large now
Nice job
Looks good, but I’m sure glad you’ve put your shirt back on ‼️
Good vibes bro 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😎😎😎
I had a71 w9 replaced rear clip with international four spring Corp suspension off a transfer it matched up newer trucks are metric thus your different size 13mm nice job though and fast turnaround good luck
Steel a nice truck
Quedó espectacular 👌 👏 👏 👏 ,felicitaciones, saludos desde sudamerica Chile 🇨🇱
I agree with the scarf cut approach, that’s how I do it, and I also stagger the splice when I can, and the scarf doesn’t necessarily have to be 45°, 30° is plenty, Bolting the fish plate is a good idea if you plan on messing with the frame again , my 2 cents
I would’ve done it the same exact way you did excellent job
I would of love to see the finished work up close actually see how it looked when it was all done before tanks went back on
Would have*
As long as you double plate the frame at the desired splice with a 3 foot and a 2 foot and your done !
This episode is like Roadkill for manly rigs.
hello kiddos..tell your dad that the video was good..awesome job..
How much did this cost ?
nice truck man
I stretched my 89 Peterbilt 379 out to 270 also. I mated it to a 2014 Peterbilt 589 frame. My Tractor frame was larger as well.
I do some welding myself and it all depends on how the structure is being used
So badass 😎
Good job for a crew of younger guys, but don’t ever shy away from constructive criticism from the right people, not that you tube is the place for it, so I won’t go there? But as a semi retired welder fabricator I can say I’ve learned a lot, some from engineers but mostly from old welders with gray hair, when I was young I use to joke about it, if you didn’t have gray hair I wouldn’t listen to you Lol but all joking a side not all old guys know it all but if you know how to pick and choose what you hear you will be ahead of the game, there’s nothing like experience.
Only thing in my concern is metallurgy when you cut a frame in the middle it definitely if you don't get the wells penetrated correctly can lead for failure careful
awesome 👏
looks sweet. only complaint i have on our 86 w900 with the 8 bag is you're always leaning one way or the other especially hauling hay. the 8 bag rides awesome though, way softer than the air leaf on our 379. good work guys!
Install double leveling valves , one on left & one on right it will cure your leaning problem!@.💥💨
Beauty job guys ! Are Kenworth Four-Bag suspensions uncommon ?
I have done it just the way you have.
Nice job! You don't polish the inside of the duals? Your kids do a great job putting everything together on your video!
we stretched my shaker 47". took me 10 day s to stretch and add a lift axle.
The splice you do is a really strong one I'd do similar but with a cross beam between the inner sides of the frame rails for added strength
I just used jb weld and sit sleeper on empty beer bottles
Your an awesome blossom 🌸
Good job well done god bless
We used kw frame to kw frame when we stretched our K100 from 220 wb to 350 to turn her into a 3 axel drive.
Nice
Had it all apart they should of done a air ride swap on the cab and sleeper
Well for what its worth and thats not much, theres a fella in Australia I know that does chassis stretches every day of the week and plenty of weekend warriors have plenty of opinions
They way the do every single one of theirs is a straight cut like yours, this is done because it gives least amount of heat in the rails when welding back up, this means less chance of weakening
Every stretch is engineered and fully approved
The only thing that would be frowned upon and it is very very minor is in Australia we need to cut blocks of wood that fit snuggly in between the flanges of the rails at the U bolts so flanges cant be squashed when doing up the U bolts
Great video channel, love your stuff
Now you goo says is to bigger to parking to turn 😂😂😂❤ look nices now.
Nice truck ,I'm guessing at a 😺 for power ,I like ,o btw you do you brother hold your ground, ✌️
Great Jop on the frame I do cut the same way I think it works better
