Minor frustrations to the very end, but as you keep saying it is not your truck, Now you can go do things entirely to your liking ones you do own. Hooray!!
Hi,good evening are you self taught!!lf so you've been blessed You're fabrication skills are top notch and the best I've seen from a non tradesman regards and best from Scotland 🚛👍🇬🇧🏴
The phrase "How you do anything , is how you do everything" is pure gold. Your work ethic and process are without flaw. People with lesser comprehension will never understand the reasons behind the calculations, methodical material/ fabrication choices and pre planning for multiple deviations that can and will arise. You can explain it, draw complex or simple diagrams .... to no avail. They only see things they don't understand ... so to them it's a waste of time. Keep being "You", There are many that share your logical thought process and we have to work by "our" standards first and foremost. Respect to you ! Thank you for this insightful and very intriguing video series ! I enjoyed every minute of it !!! I have no involvement with "large" trucks at all. That being said, the employment field of a person doesn't matter . It is work ethic, experience and knowledge that one applies at it, that will always lead to successful results (such as yours) . I have a life long history in solving others problems with designs , fabrication , application and functions ... once an for all. I believe in the right way once, beats the wrong way 3 times. My last 11 years as the senior fabrication and design technician at an established Pharmaceutical company, until becoming fully disabled last year. mployment
how you do anything is how you do everything.....that is what my dad and grandad use to say when they saw less than stellar work. sorry to hear about your becoming disabled. i often worry about that myself. i dont know what i would do if my ability to work on things was taken away from me.
Prayers for Jeffrey first off 🙏🙏 I agree with you on the tail light setup up but hey it works and you can't see it from you're house and ain't nobody gonna notice them until after the headlights get lowered which Mr. Halfass probably won't ever do so ya whatever.... It sucks putting all the nice work into it and then it not getting finished but it is what it is and at least its gone and you can move forward with other things ! Looking forward to see whats next 👍
Losing the ability to work on trucks, autos etc is hard but some people like myself still as best we can although it hurts us physically. Sitting around doing nothing is worse than dying as I see it. I was crushed by a skid loader! Thanks for the awesome videos. Your wife is awesome as well. Very lucky people to have each other.
After all the hard work efforts and time spent on this project you both and Jeffery deserve a vacation and now as you mentioned you have other projects to finish up to make room for the cabover in the future. Have a Blessed evening sir.
I hope this is the last of the truck for you. It has fought you all the way. All through this series ofhte rebuild, I was thinking "Wouldnt it be cheaper for the owner to buy another tanker" ? I hope you made good on it. As I said on another channel, "An old sign I saw in a mechanics garage back in the 1970's said 'We can do the impossible, miracles take a little longer". This is one miracle that fought you and you won. Well done.
Amazing work J.C. I know it was a long time coming and the truck fought you every single step of the way but the quality of work really shows through. It shows that you really care about your work no matter if it’s for you or someone else. I’m of the opinion that your friend is really blessed to have you in his life. It’ll last him for many years to come (if he treats it well). Congrats again on another project checked off the list and a job well done sir.
he will run it without maintaining until it wont go any more...then it will take thousands upon thousands of dollars to get it right again.....you will see that in an upcoming video.
Take some time jc and take care of your family ! I have picked up a lot of tips and enjoyed watching your vidios hope to see more of you ! Take care jc
Thanks for showing the end off it. We all know you would have kept going and made it 10 fold better but the work you did is still something to be proud of. I hope in 20 year when that truck is still around the owner can finally appreciate the quality
Always great to watch did this type of work years ago.The air appliances can be### especially used dirt grease ect.latter I bought remans lot more expensive but labore time..$ GREAT WORK!.Thank You both for reminders of job done right.
I have been watching you for quite a while now and i am glad to see someone who actually does wiring right , you explain what you are doing and why you do it that way ,,on top of all the other stuff i like about how you build stuff , the little details like soldering wires together makes a difference ,, guys that use butt splice crimp connectors don't understand that yes they work but they aren't for permanent repairs especially on outside wiring ,,i've gradually gotten to where i am now repairing wiring properly the way you are doing it ,, takes more time but the results are longer lasting with less frustration in the future
i started soldering, deox and heat shrink after removing so many failed crimp connectors. once they fail, moisture wicks up the wire and corrodes. i ended up having to replace more wire because of it.
@@j.c.smithprojects yep and iowa is as bad as Ohio about RUST and Corrosion due to the road salt ,,i learned a lot of automotive wiring when i was in school 30 years ago and even my teachers hated crimp connectors back then ,,one thing i started doing when i build a truck or trailer is using a junction box to connect the wiring ,,every light has it's own ground and a pigtail going to the box ,,and the negative box terminal has a direct ground to the battery negative terminal helping to eliminate screwy chassis grounds ,,i've been frustrated by too many trucks with fubarred messed up wiring
Great video J.C.Smith this truck came together almost to the way you wanted it but I kinda wondered when you got close to the end if the owner would wait for it to be finished or not. But it's a more appropriate built truck than his first one for sure. Thanks for sharing stay safe Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith enjoy your time off with Jeffrey.
Glad to see your done with the truck The videos we very informative Hope things don’t go to bad with your dog They get to be an important part of our lives Good luck Jeff
Glad to see your done with that unit. Too bad the guy was so impatient ,you do amazing work . Thanks for sharing . Thanks for sharing the video series on this build . Looking forward to your next build Safe travels
He's in a rush to get it done, but he's not in a rush to spring for cash, but he's quick to overhoop you into making some bad choices. For shame how some people can't appreciate anything.
You do great work. No fooling around or cutting corners. The way it should be in any mechanical setting. I've seen shops ok a car that had broken CV axles and a cracked lower control arm. But somehow it passed in 15mins for 20 bucks. So I think they didn't check a thing.
Yeah J.C. I'm 100% with you about that whole bus bumper/ light setup. The whole truck looks fantastic and then the owner wanted to use that stuff. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in re-purposing material whenever it's suitable, but that felt like a kick in the nads... Great work as always though J.C.!! Love your attention to detail and your drive to get these trucks/ projects the safest and best they can be. It's refreshing with all the deathtrap looking piles of garbage rolling around on the roads! I dig the Autometer Sport-Comp water temp gauge. I run them in my track cars, LOL. If I was a betting man, I'd be willing to bet you and the misses are just crying tears of happiness now that this thing is finally out of your shop. 😂
i agree with you on the tail lights the box tube would look much better and protect them better but its time an cost additional as always great work thank you for videoing an sharing with us. rest up please look forward to more later on
Probably feels good to see it go but saddening because you did not get to finish it your way. It was an incredible series to watch. Now take some vaca, live life a little, and get back to yours in a week or 2. I will be right here waiting for yeah until September. Then Ibwill have to see what yad did when I get back from my annual road trip. #1moreday #greatseries
Recently I found out that crimping is favored in the auto / racing industry, so now I just crimp and insulate everything and with the proper pliers and insulation it’s very sturdy
Good way to document work for a customer and insurance, especially, when the product is taken by customer before you are able to finish. Good video. Can you invent a valve to quick release and prevent commercials before they interrupt for station identification?
yep....it needs more and rechecked but i have no control over what he does. if you mean the commercial ads in the video, those are what helps up to take care of others throughout the year.
The rust of the old air tanks can cause havoc. It will make its way through the system and the old valves. Obviously you replaced and cleaned as much as you could. Do you usually just build trucks and sell them? This project and your chicken coop are the first projects I watched.
J.C. i dont know if its been asked here already. How many hours or days do you have in this. I know not as long as the video has taken. Just curious. Thanks for all the hard work and the vids. Really appreciate the air system work youve done. It helps me with my own.
You treat your friends way too well/good, I hope you're getting paid for all the parts needed for this truck/job. Very few of my friends ever return favors so I quit fixing their junk. Friendships are a two way street, IMHO.
The guy should consider himself one of the fortunate to have a JC built truck that was put together with ingenuity rather than slap it together and send it on. I didn't like the brake light setup at all. I would have used amber indicators, but its not your truck. So its on to the next project.
I understand , you do a good job with crap so i thought i would pay you handsomely to work on a nice clean truck. Because good work is hard to find nowadays
i agree. it is so hard to find anyone willing to do the quality of work i want. so i figured i might as well just try to figure out how to do it myself. what kind of truck do you have?
Good riddance! Take it as is and don’t come back no matter what happens! Very disrespectful throughout the whole process! I learned a lot about truck building and not do any upfiting for people. All y’all did for him and he still got attitude.
I see u wanted to do more but not ur trk n u put alot into this. Ida said from the get going get it outta here cause it always the same story wanna cut corners n hurry up .
I sent you a link on Instagram to a place that sells drops of ar steel. When you said “just another setback” I thought perfect name for the video series.. project setback

Excellent series of videos , I hope you told him not to darken your door with another truck
Those mounts look good!
Good work jc. I’m sure your happy too see that one go. I don’t think the lights at the rear were anywhere near as bad as the headlights on the front.
they raised those light to see over the huge highway snow plow that was on it. they need lowered and swapped for a nicer set.
Famous last words “it’s only temporary “ unless it works
guaranteed....this is one of the reasons i dont build trucks for people.....
Except this one.👍
I use to be heavy in to rock crawling. Trail fixes are common. More often then then not, that trail fix became permanent
Really love the way you work. Thank you for doing things the right way!

Jc is just customer job m8 just get it done way as we aw want see your next rollback project m8 good recycling work love it

You always do great work! Excellent quality and you work at making things easy to use and to last!
Thanks J.c❤
You do awesome work
Great video 👍
A particularly deranged part of me actually likes those lights.
Great series! Hope the videos help out the financial side. Thanks for sharing all the fixes with the air leaks, too
Praying for Jeff
Wish you showed a overall pic of the truck does he haul pool water with it?
That would make sense why he wants it
cant show the entire truck. his phone number and name is all over it.
Bet your happy that’s gone now , it was a good series to see how much work it takes to make it right and safe. Hope Jeffery gets better
Great video!!
another great video thanks for sharing always good to see quality work
Looking forward to your own build jc
love how the build is coming along, great watching you work
Sounds like the owner wants a Cadillac build with a pinto budget using yugo parts
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video JC .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Sweet

I've ran into the into same thing with relay valves. I think 2 different trucks.

Do you usually just build trucks and sell them? This project and your chicken coop are the first projects I watched.
yes. i buy them, fix them and try to create value. then sell.
Nice one 🫤😀🙏

So the owner took the truck, finally? Good that you are rid of it, it consumed way too much of your time and good efforts.
Should have your buddy. Show you how to switch your plasma cutter to gouge mode. So you could gouge out your welds.
What kind of liquid does he haul with this truck?

With all the steel you have added to this truck what is the empty weight
not sure. i would guess 23k
39:15 you need air arc !
I wouldn’t build something for someone who wants a rush job
this project started in january...its been 6 months. i wouldnt call that a rushg.

Those snow plow looking headlights are goofy and stupid looking.
all that work and info in this video....and that is what you comment. wow.
Wow very dirty air system
I work on stuff for people. The second they say “let’s use these to save time” I’m done. 😒. (“We do it nice cause we do it twice”) is not my way.

Would you work on my truck? Im near Bowling Green Ohio I want to double frame it.
sorry but no. i am not working on anyone's truck but my own. i cant charge enough to do the work to cover what i lose by not building my own.
