Hydraulic cylinders have better lifting capacity if they are not dead headed. When dead headed there is no room for oil so they struggle to lift or move. I always leave an inch or more so you can get the lifting force.
. . Something about an older big commercial vehicle being reconditioned into something amazing. COE Fords are my favorites - someday I'll have a place to work on one within walking distance from my bed😊 . .
Thanks Rich - your hard work is paying off - I’ve seen farmers use Fluid Film on all their equipment and will look into buying a spray bottle for my vehicles now - cheers
I have 3 big projects in the works and 5 small ones. I have got to quit doing that. Start one, finish one. Start the next one. Love this Fargo, rare vehicle. Keep 'em on the road.
Rich, I love your content regardless of what it is! There is always something to learn, even it we can't get it here in UK. Rather that than not learn! Always something goes into storage for use later... Thanks for doing what I'd love to be able to do, but can't due to age and invalidity. From UK.
Watching you fit that tray reminded me of the old adage: "Shit Happens". Great to watch the trees go from Summer to Autumn foliage too. Love watching you work Rich.
I always wonder where these build channels get their money for projects. I'd love to do things like this but struggle to provide for my family so I end up living vicariously through them.
I feel ya. I struggle mentally feeling guilty for wanting to build my truck when I know that it’s much more important to provide for those that I love. I know these guys ad revenue and sponsorship pay for or exceed the cost to build projects
Rich started slowly. He got paid for other work he did and just happened to film them and put them on RUclips. He said after they got monetized, it took them 6 months just to get enough money to buy a cup of coffee.
Before RUclips, Rich also had a shop well known across Ontario for diesel swaps from any engine into any chassis. They’ve been working hard for a while.
On top of the other comments, Rich built his own house with no loan, I think he was debt free with a house at 28 - getting out from under the debt early in life makes a huge difference.
Nice work rich. You always make it look so easy. Glad too see you still took some time too out your girls too bed!, good on ya dad. And 5hanks for all your hard work
Like the puzzle with one square missing I'm struggling a bit to see where this is headed but I'm sure it makes sense to you and I'm enjoying watching the progress
Rich, fyi, fluid film temporarily gets thinner if you stir it thoroughly with a drill-powered paint stirrer. Makes it much easier to get it in the paint gun.
When it comes to Fluid Film the best approach is to use fluid film on/in all the nooks and crannies everywhere but don't bother with the frame and high wear/splash areas. Apply it and give it 2 weeks to let it creep everywhere as that's the advantage of Fluid Film, its ability to creep. After two weeks top cover over all of it with WoolWax (same basic product but with more wool fiber, thus thicker) and then use the WoolWax for the frame and high wear/splash areas. It will stick around much better and for a lot longer than the thinner fluid film. Woolwax wont creep like Fluid Film though so you have to use the fluid film first in the areas where you want it to creep into seams, joints, etc. If you can manage to get it stick around long enough (12 months), the woolwax semi-dries and creates a darn near impermeable barrier. With Fluid Film alone, we were recoating every 6 months. With the new process above, its every other year aside from occasional spot applications where necessary. Be warned though, working on anything underneath will become a very messy situation. Small price to pay for the best rust prevention you can get.
Just a little reminder if you are going to smear grease in between frame rails in the hopes of preventing rust make sure to use a “waterproof grease.” Strange as it may sound not all grease is waterproof as opposed to water resistant. One simple way to determine if grease is waterproof is to buy “marine” rated grease.
I now use New Hampshire Undercoatings. Creeps 16 inches and lasts a long time. I apply every two years and very happy with it. Fluid film was great too but I think NHU is superior.
Next time you need to bend plate use a turn buckle. Cut the ends off the bolts weld the bolts to the frame and the plate and then tighten her down. Then your under tension instead of compression and it's much safer
Bring back the tape boss. I bought two when they still existed. Gave one to my Dutch builder mate. Used the other one until my kids pinched it and lost it. It was cute that they recorded messages to me though.
Was doing similar drilling earlier to you redrilling the frame, idk if this is a deep cut, but all of those videos of Pakistani, or Indian dudes drilling frames with weird jigs/attachments for their worm drive drills for extra feed strength makes me think about making some at home. Good video idea, 5-10 minutes of reacting to youtube shorts/tiktoks of said videos, then making and testing them. For science. Big fan for years keep up the content.
I always used fluid film to lubricate my hiab crane extensions. Doesn't cake up like grease lets the extensions slide smoothly. I used the clear not the black.
We used a product like Fluid Film for the heavy machinery at a factory I worked at right before it went out the door so it would be ready to be shipped over seas so that the sea air while crossing the Pacific wouldn't cause our equipment to rust before it reached the customer. They all work pretty well as long as you keep them up and remember: wear your respirator when applying them because you do not want to coat your lungs in that stuff. It will make you sick. I found out that our techs weren't using a respirator when I was asked to put it on one day, so I read the label on the bucket which had the massive warnings to wear one. Management apparently had not looked at the product when they had started using it for the PPE requirements and was very surprised when I asked why we didn't have respirators for applying it.
The last mechanical fueled Dt466 was called the New Generation Diesel or NGD. I believe it had a P7100. The original 466 had a 5.25in stroke. The 466e has a 5in stroke. Its a completely different engine built with Cats heui injection system. There are a lot of older dt466B and Dt466C with Bosch MW inline pumps. Those pumps are very similar to a P7100 and can output around 300hp on a stock turbo and injectors very smoky of course
Sunday Night Rich AND it's Fargo nice! Hey Rich the Milwaukee M18 or plug in Magnetic Drill would be supreme for yeh doing this kind of work. You can use Annular cutters (effectively a cross between a hole saw and milling cutter.) SOO FAST and get so many holes from a battery. You aren't using power to remove the metal in the center plug. LIttle or no lube because multiple cutting points. I've used one cutting 1" hole in 1" thick beams that the manufacturer missed or on change orders, maybe 30seconds a hole and no effort.
That's great including your daughter on the build. I wish I'd taken more pictures of my kids growing up. My daughter used most of a can of J/D green on a small home garden tractor. She laid on her back doing the under side and hardly had any paint on herself. That Trem Clad paint, is that available at auto parts stores? Looks interesting. Never buy Tractor supply paint , it lasts like garbage.
Surprised you haven't hit Milwaukee up for a mag drill. So much better than holding that drill. Haha I posted this before I heard you talk about it. Idk a good annular drill bit and a good reamer bit can go a long way. Use to have to drill threw 1/2 stainless steel frame than 3/8 steel maybe it was 3/8 stainless then 3/8 steel. Hardened steel and couldn't use the mag because of the stainless. Just used Milwaukee and would start with a 3/8 and ream her out to 5/8 but I always used that that mag when I could.

Vince is getting comfortable in front of the camera. Good to see him again. Him and Andy both are a treat for the show.
Always great when Vince shows up in your videos. The guy is a weapon! 👍
Im glad you took my suggestion for fluid film you won't regret that move
Black fluid film makes a rusty frame look mint
Patina.
I love how you slip in the sponsors' bits. It's so smooth that it's almost subliminal. 😂 Very creative.
ALOHA FROM HAWAII TO My FAVORITE U TUBE CHANNEL IN CANADA DEBOSS GARAGE MAHALO FOR AWESOME VIDEOS CONTENTS SIR.
your tenacity is something to aspire to... awesome truck :)

The beard looks killer
I’m glad I’m not the only one who tells themself……just go to bed before you hurt yourself 🤣
As a 26 year old man with a father nearing his 50s. I keep trying to get him to learn this. There is a time to stop and slow down
It's nice to see some old-school stick welding still going on. Perfect project for it.
This is one of my All-Time favorite builds to watch. I absolute Love how this truck is coming together. The coolest rolloff hauler ever!
I would drive this truck every single day!
I paint everything with flat black then apply Fluid Film. The FF grabs right onto the flat paint and creeps all over. It works awesome.
This is my favourite build to date!
NOW THIS IS CONTENT .
A true fabrication junkie love channel m8
I love Fluid Film! Ive been using it for a good 20 years and i havent found a better rust solvent. Andrew Camarada uses it too!
Geez.. I was getting tense watching you use that bottle jack but good thing you're DeBoss man! ✌️from Ohio
I have 3 big projects in the works and 5 small ones. I have got to quit doing that. Start one, finish one. Start the next one. Love this Fargo, rare vehicle. Keep 'em on the road.
Hey Rich
It's your yearly reminder to change the 12v battery in your Cat truck power seat. 😂
Oh yeah, those are due, aren't they!
@persistentwind yep I try to remember to remind him every time I change my clocks.
@kevenhiemie nice!
I lover fluid film, I use it on my motorcycles, lawn equipment and cars!

@@Joe-hz1nw good point. I've worked hard but in the wrong jobs. I allowed myself to be taken advantage of multiple times.
Lots of irons in the fire👍👍
I love the fight. It is not only me.
Fluid Film new sponsor, awesome stuff kills rust, and keeps mice away
Fluid film is a must. Any brand of it works.
Love the use of the vice, it's like a literal vice grip
I gotta admire you don’t have any quit. Cool old truck.👊
Rich, I love this build out of all your builds.
Damn this rig is going to pop off when complete,what a specimen
Hey Rich, don’t forget to tighten those suspension bolts!
@DeBossGarage, so close to 1 million subs!
Nice work rich. You always make it look so easy. Glad too see you still took some time too out your girls too bed!, good on ya dad. And 5hanks for all your hard work
This is my dream truck. Epic
I gotta say I really like this much better than the travel channel. Glad to see you doing some actual wrenching.
We did nothing but wrench on the Africa travel video
Like the puzzle with one square missing I'm struggling a bit to see where this is headed but I'm sure it makes sense to you and I'm enjoying watching the progress
A good tip for fluidfilm is a bucket heater and a gear oil pump. It makes getting it into the smaller jug easy.
Rich, fyi, fluid film temporarily gets thinner if you stir it thoroughly with a drill-powered paint stirrer. Makes it much easier to get it in the paint gun.
Ive done that frame greasing trick a few times before, people thought I was crazy.

Awww that cute little winch 😊
Some big ol' winch the size of a man's torso would look spot on behind that cab.
Yes, but the winch will still work with the bed on the ground. Can't do that with hydraulics
The super singles look SWEET!
First view of this build, its going to be awesome! 👍😁
Great job. I sure love that Fargo. Such a nice style.

Rich, you and Derrek are the 2 most hard working RUclipsrs
Thank you!
My goodness. What a job! But your handling it nicely.
Such a cool truck. So much work on the bed, but between all that work plus your own wood makes it especially rewarding.
Yes, it really is my truck now
This puts Matts spud truck to shame! Keep up the great work!
I now use New Hampshire Undercoatings. Creeps 16 inches and lasts a long time. I apply every two years and very happy with it. Fluid film was great too but I think NHU is superior.
Lots of hard work put into the Fargo and it will turn out to be a great rig just like all your other projects have.
Thanks Larry!
Rich, I thought we would have seen the complete Edison sparky kit fitted to this one.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
sure is looking awesome
That Fluid Film is great stuff. Use the Wool Wax bottles. You can fill multiple bottles and not have to keep filling one in the middle of a project.
Next time you need to bend plate use a turn buckle. Cut the ends off the bolts weld the bolts to the frame and the plate and then tighten her down. Then your under tension instead of compression and it's much safer
Bring back the tape boss. I bought two when they still existed. Gave one to my Dutch builder mate. Used the other one until my kids pinched it and lost it. It was cute that they recorded messages to me though.

Nice work, I like the truck, good job
so many irons but, you still make so much progress!!!
I've used a hilti gun before to blow a pilot hole through steel to make drilling tons easier
Looking good 👍👍
Great content guys 👍 thanks for sharing 😊.
cool truck!
You should look into getting a mag drill. Makes jobs like that a breeze.
if you cut the 90 degree corner off of a speed square you can get it into those rounded corners on steel members.
❤ this truck
Heck yeah welder up Vince!!!
You are an absolute beast.
Great work!
A sauna would be a great project for Rich, literally sweat out all the filth!
love the content and jealous you got to hang with Derek from vice grip keep up the good work
We've been buddies since 2019. He helped put the 455 in to the gto after building it in the hotel room at power tour
@@DEBOSSGARAGE
That's the first time I saw Derek on the Tube. I found his channel through you. Been watching him ever since then. THANK YOU!
MAN I LOVE THIS STUFF VERY COOL
What a beast she's gonna be 🤙
So... its the Fargo version of the Welderup flatbed? neat!
This thing is so sweet

Maybe you should get Milwaukee to send you a Mag drill Rich lol
"back on schedule, 2 weeks behind schedule" Aren't we all most times? 😂👍
Wow what a pain in the ass....it will be cool when it's done
Give this man an acid eclctrode frame dipper to take care of his metal anodizing truck frames! Rust disolving iron steel mix
Deadly

Rustoleum calls their rust paint Tremclad in Canada
There’s a cheeseburger bird whistling in the background. Great work sirs.
Cut the back corner off a square and it will fit into the gully of that angle iron, also goes over a weld bead on structural tube construction.

Planning on an airbag cab mount for this project?
When u use the Bottle Jack like that , put a peace of mud flap between the head and the steel.
This is.a cool..truck
Cool truck your building
Is there no weight restriction in Canada
Deffo want to see more 😊
👍🏴😁✌️
Use a reamer for the holes! A lot cheaper to buy and goes way faster on steel
