Chevy C65 service truck build! Part one!

hey guys how's she going today well I've got a bit of a different project on the go here all you're not allowed to see that cover that up over there no anyway we are working on the towing truck we've got a few things we wanted to do here well it's got to go get an inspection done since it's from out of province so I'm trying to get the emergency brake to work again because it doesn't want to grab I think it's just out of adjustment and we had to fix a couple of clearance lights on it but I was all that needed and then just some normal servicing oil change it needed a fan belt it was pooched and then we're making a few things on here and we put a block heater cord on because that was missing and yeah first thing I want to do are gonna put them piece of square tubing on here not too long and then a piece of rod and then you've got the flat deck hooked up behind with the bails because the bails are sticking out like this so you can't see anything out of your mirror when you got to make your left-hand turn across the highway so I'm gonna put a mirror out something about like this down low on the bumper so you can look under the bails behind you here's my plan and then we're putting a headache rack on so when you've got sails on the deck here they're not up against the back of the cab if you remember this summer when we were hauling hay we were putting five of them on here and they'd be up against the back of the cab so we're gonna put that headache rack on and then we've got our beacon light and two amber lights that way as well and then I'm gonna put a couple white lights shining back onto the deck and then kind of gets us into the next part of what we're gonna do here you can see here we've got a hose spool and a twenty five gallon per minute fuel transfer pump it's a hell is it again GPI and I got that pump it all it all came in a a set here made in the US of A so second best being made in Canada anyway it'll piss someone off anyway twenty five gallon per minute came with eighteen feet of one inch hose and the automatic shutoff nozzle and everything it was nine hundred and fifty bucks regular was thirteen hundred on sale so we're gonna put that on I'm painting this deck block because most of the paint's gone on it and I really don't like that color and then on the back here as it was open like that and there's no support with the way he's got this deck made no support at the corner out here so it wants to sag real bad when you put any kind of weight on it so I cut some angle irons here and I'm going to weld them in place and this is a 2 by 10 I'm going to put few bolts through here and then bolt it through this board few across and then it'll be solid I've got my little Jack under there to square everything up because it was sagging pretty bad square all that up and then this grandpa when he used to use liquid fertilizer way way back in the day he had a 500 gallon tank that's sat him not so we're gonna trim the legs up so it sits tight to the back of the cab I'm gonna make it all there's one big skid that you take on and off at the tractor then we're gonna put a 500 gallon fuel tank and a hundred gallon gas tank behind it with a smaller pump and then that 500 gallon tank that's what that big pump is for and it's gonna go right on the back there and then this generator is gonna go like I'll draw it in the dust here this is gonna be the big fuel tank there'll be a small gas tank and put the generator on this side and the portable air compressor on the other and then that's what that big spool of hose air hoses for I'm gonna mount that on the deck sorry I got a bit of a runny nose today but I'm gonna mount that on the deck and it's 50 feet and you'll be able to reach anywhere to blow anything off because I mean that's 90 percent of what we use the portable compressor for out in the fields blowing their ads and everything out so so that's all gonna get mounted together as one big piece and then in the summer when you want to haul bales it's just easy chain in four corners lifted off I want to use it for a service truck lower it back on and I'm gonna make a cover here on hinges that shuts and covers up that big hole so it's all one big deck because when we go pick up our totes of roundup and then our canola seed here this spring I want to set it on this because before I just had a little bumper hitch trailer behind the truck and all of that was way more than what that little trailer was designed to haul so this'll just be better and then that way with the fuel on it and everything it'll be a one-stop shop for the air cedar so anyway I'm going to get doing some on this and I'll talk to you again here in a bit when we've got something kind of put together kind of a side note I know it's well it's handwriting signature it's always kind of different to try to read but it's GUI and it's not guy it's gay French I figured I'd just say that that way there's no confusion I'll say it in this video and I'll say it in the next one again too just so everyone knows how to say it then they they know what his name was that way so but everything is all kind of put together - this side shield because I got it some work to do on the starter yet but other than that there's your little glimpse [Music] [Music] [Music] not a lot [Music] probably watch and [Music] longer is better than few short [Music] [Music] [Music] oh yeah that's right [Music] [Applause] listen to those glass packs Howell [Music] [Music] getting it out of the way here so I can cut my two by eight my two by ten that are going in the heady crack there to fill in the gap so here's the plan anyway okay update time and end of the video time and everything happens so you got the headache rock all welded up for the extensions put on it and those pieces of iron there I'll go show you after but they go on the front of the deck to bolt it on and I weld it in some two by three angle iron in here to hold these two boards to fill in that gap because this was originally made for on the box of a truck so since there's no box of the truck for it to sit on we had to raise it up so there's a big gap there behind the cab so we've got that I'm gonna finish bolting all that and paint it got all the lights off of it and the way your in figured out and got all their strips of iron made these are going on here one on each side three bolts and then a piece of chain and one in the middle up to the deck of the truck these strips here going on the top of them like that there's going to be four of them to lower this down enough from the deck so it actually does something so that's going to drop it I'll show you underneath here I'll take one to show ya I booted it outside as well has you seen there cuz I mean it takes up most of my space in here but and then I put this mirror on the front and you just undo these slide it out to the Stauffer tighten them up again and then when you're sitting in the truck driving when you have bales in the trailer behind you all they stick out here and you can't see out of those mirrors anything behind you so when you gotta make a left-hand turn across the road you're taking your life in your hands because you don't know what Yahoo we is gonna be trying to pass you turn out in front of them it won't be a good day for anyone so put this mirror on I put on this little clearance light and then heat shrink everything seal it all up with silicone and strips or reflective tape so everyone can see it when they're coming deck is all nicely painted black I got to put another coat on it yet when he gets back in the shop again but we got our two glass packs on there sounds a hell of a lot better than the stock mufflers and then these strips they're gonna bolt on just like not four of them no not on that one whatever up here I guess and Laura I'm down enough in front of the wheels here so that you know I actually do something is otherwise instead of them being level with the back ones there they're up here so looked kind of dumb and then I made and welded on these straps on the mud flaps here to hold them in place because before with nothing they're going down there oh there be sticking straight out like this and doing nothing and they're so long when you'd back up in tall grass or stubble or if you ever got stuck trying to back up or in deep snow it would pull them up right up against the back tell you and try to rip him off so I've got holders front and back on them on both sides and then I made these here to cover up the hitch so that way when you're walking on the deck using it just as a flat deck you don't have a big hole here to fall into and then when you have the trailer hooked up obviously that one stays open but you can still shot that one so that front one would be open hooked up then you have that one shot in I don't know it just looks cleaner so anyway I made that and also we do we got these boards put on the back here everything's bolted through and then these angle irons to hold everything solid because before the deck you push on the corner here and they'd flex the guy it said what else have we done I'm still in the process of doing it because I need to get the fuel tank and everything mounted on here yet that 25 gallon per minute pump and whatnot but it's not a finished product but I've got this made for the switches this is gonna be the year no this one over here will be the beacon light and that orange light this is gonna be the white field lights and this one's a secret but I got to finish I'm gonna do that all up a lot nicer than just wires everywhere like that I'll put some nice black plastic covering on it and then run it down through the floor but other than that oh that's the other thing Antoine did I'm trying to remember everything we've done here it's got two fuel tanks on on each side and it used to be with that auxilary switch over there you'd flip it side for side whichever tank you wanted to suck from it didn't work anymore and that cost too much to replace with the proper switch so he's got this manual switch valve here so if you want to suck out a one tank or the other one one gets drier you flip it and it sucks from the other side can't really see it but anyways it's uh there's a tea like this and one hose sucks from this tank one from that tank and then there's your turn valve and then your hose that goes to the engine then you just turn it to whichever tank you want here's what he's got set up but anyway that's gonna be the end for this video and then when I get the rest over put together that'll be the second part of this little two step programs Oh anyway I guess hit that like button subscribe for more we'll talk to you in the next one
