Did you have to do anything with the incomplete vehicle sticker to register the truck? Would like to do a DIY set up like this, but not sure if I would still have to take it somewhere to get rid of the incomplete vehicle sticker on the door panel?
That's a sick setup. Simple, clean. I wonder if it would be beneficial to add some tie downs on the rear bed plate, or invest in a small diesel rv generator if you're sleeping in that truck at night. Looks like a good place for a grill ;)
@@sandtransllc1824 Look at one of those APU units, can be had used for not too bad and aren't super horrible to install, both Heating and Cooling, as well as battery maintenance.
Stacey, make sure you install a manual shut off valve on your gravity feed external tank, to be legal. DOT can get you for that. I see that Lucus fuel bottle in the there. Looks good fella.
You are one smart dude. Why pay extra for a RAM when you gonna wear it out. My last RAM went 325,000 miles. My current 2011 RAM has 208,000 and I only put in service Oct. 15, 2020. I buy used but I may change that because the maintenance equals or exceeds the payment on a new one. Still when I repair it I always upgrade. What did you have to give in Salt Lake for the new truck and who was the dealer? Did you try Dave Smith Motors in Kellogg, ID? How is the new RAM holding up? I'm kinda looking at Isuzu crew cab chassis to do what you did with the RAM. Much slower truck but built like a tank. Thanks for all your info. John Schubert 406 Hot Shot Missoula, Montana
Dam that looks cool ey did u mention something about the registration or i guess I'm asking did u have to register it a certain way because u took off the bed and made it look like this???
Stacey, which poly fenders did you use in your setup? Did you use the ones designed for 17" wheels, or the larger fenders designed for 19.5" wheels? I'm considering a bed-delete on my truck, but I'm uncertain about which size fenders to order. Thank you!
Thks for the videos just found your channel awesome info had a question I’m in Tennessee May be different here than there but on a cab chassis set up on taxes can you write off mileage on a truck think I seen you can get 58 cents a mile on pick up or personal truck thks again for the info
Put a Rubber pad under the Aux tank cut to the same size not any bigger to keep rocks out from under it and rubbing a hole! Ask me how I know! Install a spin on fuel filter with water separator with petcock drain under the valve at the Aux tank
@@sandtransllc1824 // Weight of pulling unit with full tanks and all your gear is highly recommended because it's helpful to know BEFORE the empty weight the trailer adds and how much weight is added to your drives and steers. In other words knowing the weight of the trailer by itself isn't helpful since it shares part of its weight with the truck. That way the addition of cargo can be PLANNED ahead of time and placed appropriately on the trailer for weight distribution. I had gotten to the point of being about to do it all in my head after some practice.
You should get a temp tag, dealer charge you $35 and ur good to make that 💰 🤑 i have my temp tags and am running now, just got pulled over and handed the officer a photo copy of my license since i lost it this week somehow 🤦🏼
Sandtrans LLC the arm-pit of the US 😂 everything still closed here. MVC not opening until July, anything that has expired was extended until August. But i bought my truck in Maryland, and got temp tags from them, same thing with my trailers, all temp tags.

He even said that His Mechanic modified and welded it! You are right. That truck frame is scrap and will break. If it's inspected like it should be it probably won't make it on the road!!
In the video it looks like they welded crossbars in and pieces on the outside of the frame. So yes the hitch itself might not be welded to the frame. But the pieces it's bolted to is. Naylor is correct!! The Truck Frame is JUNK NOW!!!!
As I said before: I did not see that it was welded. I heard him say that the fuel tank and the plate under it were bolted on, so I thought the hitch was as well.
Looks good, although that bed may be to close to the cab and hit the cab as it the truck flexes going down the road.
nice. why did you decide to go with a cab a chassis setup? where did you find fenders for the dually tires?

What do you think about the new ram trucks you can order with airbags from the factory?
Fuel tank routing is slick, good job, it look’s great
Thanks for watching

I thought adding a generator. i caculated about a 500.00 in fuel per month for idleing.

Best way to hot shot❗️🚛💨💨🏁
Exactly!
Nice and clean

I bought it as a cab and chassis. Its listed as a commercial vehicle.
Nice setup!
Thanks for watching!
Veryy nice set up, what size of metal sheets did u use?

You should drill a few weep holes in that fuel/tool base.
Thanks for watching.
Nice set up . Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Nice setup.
Thanks for watching!
What size poly fenders are those?
What sizes are the poly fenders and what brand is it? Nice setup 👍
Let me check
Where can I buy those fenders? I can't find anything like that. Thank you!
ebay
Do we need mud flaps for that set up?
Where did you find the fenders ....looks sick
Ebay.com
hi, congratulations on your truck, could you say your truck's GVWR?
Yes I can, its 7k
pretty truck
Thks for the videos just found your channel awesome info had a question I’m in Tennessee May be different here than there but on a cab chassis set up on taxes can you write off mileage on a truck think I seen you can get 58 cents a mile on pick up or personal truck thks again for the info
It will depend on how your company is set up. You will need to contact your tax prepairer for more information. Great question!
What size is rear plastic fenders and or if u got entire kit pn please reply thx
I got them off of eBay. You need to measure the width of tires on You're truck and that would give you the correct size
Doing this to my c3500 after it got totalled, rear ended wreaked the bed. Looks awesome + Cmhs wants 6k for a hotshot bed 😳
Put a Rubber pad under the Aux tank cut to the same size not any bigger to keep rocks out from under it and rubbing a hole! Ask me how I know! Install a spin on fuel filter with water separator with petcock drain under the valve at the Aux tank
thanks
Awesome. I want to get a spare truck to do what you did in case i break down....
Did you have a winch on your trailer?
Great video!
I had one on my first trailer. Never used it tho.
Looks cool but why get rid of the bed?
Great questions. There's a reason for it. payhip.com/b/ZN5U
@@sandtransllc1824
Ah! Ok 👍 cool
Nice ride bossman...
Thanks!
Love it man !!
I like what you did, plus less hassle because you are technically a tractor. How much does your cab and chassis weigh with fuel tanks full?
Not sure the weight. I guess 6-7K

You realize, you can’t weld directly to the frame…. Hitches have to be bolt on
He sound like jay-z
LOL! ITS YA BOY!
Why can’t I drive my truck with no trailer off duty ?
You can.
you didn't say anything about how to build a chassis
Thanks for watching.
Next time: 5500 and 2WD
Please explain why.

Why don't you just drive a real tractor instead of a pick up truck????

cant weld to the frame that truck is junk now
It isn't welded to the frame. He bolted to the frame.
Sorry I didn't see the hitch was welded in.

The Truck Frame is JUNK NOW!!!!
a deathtrap
Man, you need to stop moving around the camera so quickly. I've tried to look at your set up in detail, but you make me dizzy.
You never ever weld to top of frame like you did the hitch there is such a better way to do that
It is bolted to the frame. Not welded.
I didn't see that the hitch was welded in.
@@markbremmer8642 go to 6:30 he even says it
As I said before: I did not see that it was welded. I heard him say that the fuel tank and the plate under it were bolted on, so I thought the hitch was as well.
