Them old Fords and the old Chevys are good old trucks they're hard to beat good job y'all
Would have loved to seen his rear drive shaft setup👍
Same here
It’s got a shaft going to it somehow 🤷♂️ only thing I can think is maybe twin cases, one clocked up and one clocked down?
13:04 It looks like both shafts are being driven by the same t-case
There's 3 ways:
1)Big rigs use a short shaft between the rear axles.
2) run a dual rear output t-case.
3) run a 2nd t-case between the tandems.
@@xmo552 He wasn't running toploaders, so that leaves 2 or 3.
I built a plastic model tow truck based on your truck looks cool
Unique recovery for a unique vehicle. Love this!
For unique setups like this one an extra minute or two to show off the custom design would definitely add appeal to the video.
Noted!
I like to see more of this f150 !!
Great job of not damaging the Ford 6 by 6 while recovering it through trees
You make everything look soo easy.
Love the little bluegrass song
Nice extraction and good job trailering the Ford.
Thanks 👍
Thanks for sharing video 📹 your doing a great job you make it look easy
Thanks for watching!
Great ingenuity on the recovery
Hi Eric, great job love that Chevy hauling a Ford
I would really like to see more of the six by six . Very creative.
Pretty sure I saw this for sale recently
@@wildone1312 oh wow. I wonder why?
No it's never been for sale
You are a true master at what you do.
Thank you
I JUST LOVE 6X6'S!
Video idea,,,
When things get slow (??), you could do shop visits and kinda show how some of these builds have been done.
Great entertainment, fun watching you come up with solutions. Stay safe.😷
Thanks 👍
@@offroadrecoveryteam
If I remember correctly you have an 8" lift on the wrecker. 8" spring up front and 6" block in the rear. How did you lift the remaining 2" in the rear?
Add a leaf (higher arch leaf spring added to the spring pack)
@@offroadrecoveryteam
Thank you
No rag joint just bolt the column straight to the box. I’ve had to do it before.
You guys are awesome
Great video. I like when you have to be creative on your recoveries.
so glad to see the ol wrecker still gittin er done
Ya never cease to amaze me with those tight pulls. Nice one. Greetings from a very long time subscriber here in the UK.
Wow, thank you
Love the bluegrass
Awesome video love it when y’all tow a ford with the Chevy
Thanks 👍
Hope I never HAVE to see you guys out in the woods.
Wouldn't mind seeing ya though. I did recovery for a few years in my twenties and I've had my share of problems out there. Good videos.
Wow! Man, I like this truck. Good 'ole American ingenuity!
Thanks 👍
Awesome job
Hello how are y'all doing? I love watching your videos. Cant wait for the next one to come out. Yall all take care and be safe
Thank you! You too!
Very unique creation
Great work in a challenging environment, hope your next call is easier.
Yes it was
Hi
Cool trk. Interesting fitting that samurai sideways on the trl
Yeah it is
Love watching bsf.
Thanks
thx
Good Job!
He was in a tuff spot! Big truck tight trees good job!
You got that right!
Great job 👌👍
Great video guys! Keep wheelin
Thanks! Will do!
On a trail like that the 6x6 is only effective if it has crazy articulation. Or a walking beam set up with lots of tyre clearance.
Otherwise 2 wheels are always off the ground and it just becomes a hindrance.
They come into their own in sand and mud though.
Great job!
Great effort. Never give up!
That's the plan!
It’s impressive that vehicles don’t just tear apart under the stress on some of these tow points. Ditto for the trees the snatch blocks are attached to.
For those that would like a chance to see this truck again at Gilbert I will be there this Sunday Sept. 20th 2020 I should be there at about 11 am or so.hope it goes a lot better this time.
I would like to know how it went, and post some pictures if you can on the BSF recovery teams FB page.
Had a blast the truck does extremely well. Have no complaints except that we need a new clutch now. Couldn't handle the torque.
@@jerryclark726 Cool.
My company does alot of offroad recovery so we invested in Cat 299d skid steer on tracks and we fabed a custom winch box and put a hydraulic winch on it hands down best thing to use for this stuff not all situations but still good i only mention it in case yall never thought of doing something like this.
I have a old monster M970 Bobcat that I was thinking about building a winch box for.
I've changed a water pump on my Ford truck on the side of interstate 65. All I had was vicegrips and a few broken wrenches.
Great videos....enjoy watching them bro....sometimes even more than a few times....👍👍👍
I appreciate that!
Rag joints, and other steering issues are why people ask "why do you carry 2 come-a-longs?",, we got winch's,,, answer, "not for recovery,,for steering",,,, similar to like you did with the winch when the steering gear came off the frame on the wrecker
Great recovery by the way it is great how you do help people tho no matter how dumb some are
Safety wires handy for fixing a rag joints out in the field to get equipment out of the woods...js
Eric , love the videos wish I lived closer to you guys would love to do some off roading up there with you guys!!! I will be getting me a 82 dodge d250 4x4 with a 318 soon from my uncle will be lifting it 6" and running 35 to 37" tires . I live in Michigan so I do have places to wheel up north of me like Silver Lake Sand dunes and the Manistie Nat. Forest so looking forward to some trail riding,just wish I had friends who liked to wheel like I do, and I wish there was some one like you and Klyde up there that could rescue me when I break that d250. Sny way thanks again for all the videos keep them coming maybe one day I could come up there and meet you guys thanks Dave H truck driver
Silver lake is on our list to go to some day, just not sure when.
The dunes are great I have taken my 1997 Chevy K2500 there aired down to 10psi and go
use some duct tape and two hose clamps one clamp on each side. it works thats what got me off trail once.
Eric; I saw the link for this one on the Old Iron tow trucks & wreckers FB page.
That was a challenging but I knew you could do it
Good driving
Thanks 👍
I love the wrecker ❤️
Hello from Canada Ontario
Hello there!
@@offroadrecoveryteam hows it goin
Just got back from a event, tired, lots of recoveries today.
Awesome job!! ✌🐢
Great job and always enjoy
Thanks
Definition of Road: "Any space between the trees, large enough to drive through." But... I can only imagine he thought: "Dang, this got REAL SKINNY!!!". A Jeep Wrangler/CJ Series would probably be a Hoot, to drive down those ATV trails, but a Full-Size+ Truck? Yeah... He said: "I got Lost" ;)
I really watching your videos
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
nice video!!! i think if i were the owner id just sent someone out for a 10 buck rag joint
They tried, out of stock at both the local parts stores.
Geo tracker not a Samurai !! Keep em coming anyways.
My bad
Had several of both, great little trucks!
Hi BSF RECOVERY 👍
If you use a 76 f250 steering shaft they don't use rag joints they use a sliding u joint in a cup and they are so much safer
When I was a teenager me, a close friend and my cousin were tasked to get a broke down
old Chevy truck out of my grandmas field armed with just my pickup and my cousins Jeep, it didn’t have a steering shaft so my friend sat under the hood with a pair of vice grips on the steering box shaft and steered it from there 😁 I still have a picture of it somewhere
Great fun.
good video, keep them coming
We will!
Hi love all your videos
Thanks, keep watching.
i was thinking of turning my old chevy into a 6x6 but ended up twisting and breaking the frame first. but i think it would have been fun to try
If you have some strap or rope and duct tape a rag joint is pretty easy to fix enough to get out of the woods. (In my case it got me back into a demolition derby feature)
How long did it last in the feature?
@@offroadrecoveryteam
I won that night and was able to drive it up on the trailer. We did the same with the U joints, wrapped them with seat belts and duct taped the hell out of them. When we got home the front of the driveshaft was on the trailer deck😅. It's a helluva way to gator the leaf springs as well.
WOW!
very interesting. would have been fun to see how that 6x6 operated if it was not broken.
true an ok rig , but not for tight quarters.
Good job 👏 👍
Thank you 👍
Looks like double transfer cases has drive shafts for front drive axle in the rear and the rear rear drive axle and looks like 2 ford 9 inch rear ends
Dam you didn't think we would like to see how they added a second axle?
Sorry, thought I did, but when I went to edit, no video of it.
Hi from Michigan.
Hello there!
The 6x6 build would have been awesome if the rear axles were on a walking beam setup verses leaf springs. It would stay on the ground better instead of raising one axle off the ground over tall steep grades.
This truck would have been fun to watch
Good stuff!
Thanks!
You are amazing smart! I am now watching lots of your RUclipss. Does your truck (I have a '85 3/4 4X4 pickup) have "Lockers" front or rear?
Thanks, Yukon Grizzly locker in the rear
I saw this truck in bigfork mn. Sweet truck. Go check it out
Most people drive the trails forward. BSF goes backwards up the trails, and then adds extra length and weight for a challenge.
Yes, we do things a little different...LOL
A rag joint seriously just grab some bolts off the another part direct bolt it to the box thier ya go
As a wrecker driver I love your videos, wish I was there to learn from the master. Do you ever go to the tow shows ?
None have asked yet, have had a few cable networks show a little interest in a show of my own, but nothing came of it.
I onced knew a man name charles hunter had a tow truck just like yours
Hay that must be a rough job to do getting the tow truck in tight shots
6:00 Nice safe place to stand, if that cable broke loose and came rocketing back at you! :O :S
That would have been a cool rig to see wheelen to bad it was broken
I had the same thought
Right oh well keep on keeping on awesome videos
I would love to know how he did the axles on that Ford
Cooll rigss
Devorice np205 backwards. Cant use low, just 2wd and 4 high
Hi. Good vid.
Hey, thanks
Pushing, pulling, repairing,make alot of money fixing Ford's, specialy those stroke engines,
4:13 🤣🤣🤣
Hey love video
Thank you
Nice tow.
Thanks!
Iron range eh? Ya’ll in Minnesota?
From Wisconsin, wheel on the range when we can.
What do you do to lock your brakes in when winching?
The truck is has a brake lock.
I wouldn’t expect this rig to much of a good wheeler doesn’t look to have very good flex other than a fords frame is capable....
Truck Shure is cool broke or not !
Have them send a GPS coordinate.
