We finally found our RAMP TRUCK

[@sidheathman1076]

As a father that loves his kids it's so awesome to watch you include your son thank you for the sweet video

[@richardscales7296]

This kid has the biggest personality and witty.

[@tonykemper8896]

That’s a sweet ramp truck! I know it’s a lot of work but imagine how cool it would be to stretch the cab 10” instead of shortening the frame. Think of how roomy the inside of the cab would be.

[@innerspaceavailable]

You need to be really proud of your son Dave. He's a wonderful engaged young man who loves being around his father and loves to contribute. Great job of finding the truck and parts. Looking forward to seeing how it will come out.

[@RMonkey]

Pee wee Newbern needs a pay raise, best commentator in my opinion, Mr. Dad must be proud.

[@Lucians_legacy]

His reaction to that price tag is perfect. "20 grand?! No thank you, we don't need it" lol

[@danielcarney6193]

Just my .02 on the frame length, I'd leave the frame length and build a cross box built into the front of the bed and build a headache rack from that. Or put the fuel tank between a cargo box to hang chain or straps instead of them being piled in a box. you could then turn that open space where the saddle tanks are into more storage on the front sides of the bed. It is more work, but worth it in my unprofessional, none owner of that truck. It is a great set up and I look forward to watching the build... One day I will buy me one to haul my junk around..

[@jefftroublefield1539]

I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes. I enjoy seeing the excitement of your son with the new projects you got.

[@572hemi2]

Instead of cutting the frame, maybe extend the C-50 cab back 10 inches...think leg room....

[@RabidSnot]

COE Cab Over Engine. I'd not cut it frame wise and build a big storage compartment behind CAB.. there's always extra's you need on those long road trips.. measure three times, cut twice.. once. Nice Score David, I like that style ramp better than the other style also as the car will sit level up top centered front to rear depending on length, of vehicle. going to be a cool project.

[@intentsmodz]

First time seeing a ramp truck with a wheel lift. Nice truck man.

[@paprstp9939]

Your kid is smart ! Wish you all the best !

[@davidgough1161]

Dave, That ramp truck is cool and you are teaching Lucas in the process! I will meet you at some point and give you a huge hug for passing on knowledge. You and Wesley are awesome!

[@Johnnyvette383]

That's one cool special built ramp truck body. I have never seen one with a hydraulic wheel lift before. Can't wait to see the build series.

[@wallysworkin823]

Keep an eye out for a motorhome. I'm putting a 55 COE on a 91 motorhome chassis, 30k miles, 10.5K 10 lug rear axle, 14.5k chassis, 4 wheel disc brakes. Only paid $400 for it. Hard part is stripping it lol.

[@CLASSICSAREBETTER]

Congrats on the new ramp truck, very cool !

[@VicSwanby]

This is all stuff kids don't forget. Great finds for both of you the motor cycle and your ramp truck. I like the direction you are interested in doing looking forward to seeing this transformation. Should be very cool and functional. Saving another forgotten gem.

[@woodyholland9865]

Good to see your family in these videos. Your boy will turn out like his father! Love old cars and trucks.

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Your right. That roll back was a heck of a good deal. If I wasn't in New England I would be all over that. Looking forward to how your ramp truck is going to turn out...🤓

[@briangoudreau5793]

Hahahaha love when he looks at the c10 and says 20 thousand nope we’re all set priceless

[@chuckfowler8875]

That also really badass yhat it haves that stinger on tje back of it to haul a car behind it!! Awsome find...Barn find considering there's a batn beside it!

[@wimpymcwimperton9782]

Ummmm my guy, might I suggest just building a toolbox to fill the gap instead of chopping the frame up? It can slide out the side, be a nice tall pegboard and you can hang straps up in it. Food for thought

[@JR56Delivery]

6 Volt is really coming along. Awesome.

[@VEOPengineering]

10" behind the cab is the perfect place for a set of decent exhaust stacks!!

[@chuckfowler8875]

That bed is longer than the bed on the OG Road Kill ramp truck!!! Which makes it way better!!

[@TowMan127]

Cool score. Ramp trucks are awesome

[@MiguelGonzalez-gp2zz]

Awesome video! Teaching your son RIGHT! Keep on keeping on!

[@jbird21122]

Hey Dave The c 50 front fenders are 6” shorter than a c 30 fender also the floor is flat in the c50 and won’t fit down on the frame the same way Just a heads up good luck I’ll be watching

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

From one Lucas to another, your old man gave you a great name bud!

[@johnknowlton3998]

It’s nice to see your son as excited as you!! Not on the phone!!!🤘🏼👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅

[@chrisemery3871]

Welcome to the joys of owning a ramp truck, best regards from over the pond.

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

I don’t understand why your channel doesn’t have a couple hundred thousand more subs bud! Keep it up, man

[@12VoltDave]

Thank you

[@Chadsstickystuffakaglue]

10 inch stacks will fit 👍

[@JamesHill-us3is]

Love your vids. Remember working with my dad long ago

[@nvrhme15]

I love the video perspective from Lucas. So cool!!! Glad you incorporate that in your video!

[@stevevanpatten1372]

Congratulations David Newburn 😊😊😊😊 I can't wait untill you turn the Picture's that are inside of your Head into a Reality 😊😊😊😊

[@MastaT_150]

I’m not so much a ramp truck fan I think a roll back is a million times more useful BUT I have to say I’ve never seen a ramp truck with an underlift on the back like that… that’s super spiffy! I hope you keep that Plus that looks to be a nice bed, not some home made job.

[@simonbull473]

I reckon a pair of twin truck stacks behind the cab that will fill in that 10 inch’s just nice👌

[@CTemple82]

I’d leave the extra 10” and maybe build a custom headache rack with incorporated storage box/ toolbox in between and then you’d have a good spot to mount two nice big stacks on each side between the cab and bed.

[@bbrut3332]

Add a retractable air tag axle behind the drive axle for better load carrying ability.. Things are looking up for you and the kid..😊

[@kenlamb502]

Congratulations on your new ramp truck!!! Enjoy!!! The old cab will look amazing!!

[@exhstbearing]

I can’t wait for this one. Ramp trucks rule.

[@xozindustries7451]

That’s a really nice bed, I would get a Kodiak chassis and put your cab and that bed with your diesel in that, that chassis is way too weak to haul, brakes and tires are too small, suspension isn’t up to it, I’ve built a ramp truck on a f600 chassis because of all these reasons. The roll off truck the end of the video would be the perfect chassis to swap the cab onto and put your motor in

[@john242ti]

This. Then, if a squarebody is desired, find a good unstretched frame and build a nice 1983 C/K30 pickup, using the cab from the ramp truck.

[@alanstryker7355]

What a score! Hard to find a unit like that any more.Great video!

[@danielstarnes8445]

You could leave it like it is and have a 10" wide auxiliary fuel tank built for it.

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Dave when and if you chop the frame look real hard for a section of International dump truck frame and after you reweld the ramp truck frame put the international frame over the top where you spiced it. It will hold up better than reinforcing the frame on the inside

[@seanmcgillicuddy956]

You could add a sleeper /tool box behind the cab !

[@wagon1980]

Don't cut the frame use that space for some cool vertical stacks and side to side fuel or extra storage area, just my opinion, looking forward to the build,

[@12VoltDave]

That’s what I’m gonna do after I thought more about it. Just run stacks between

[@Ponce_Productions1]

I’d put the c50 cab and build a headache rack with tool boxes and a tow truck light bar with red and white could put your straps and chains in the headache rack and keep your other storage for other stuff

[@EdwardDean-z4f]

I remember when Finnegan picked up Square Force One locally in SE Indiana..Glad you found you one.

[@380.motorsports]

Just fill the 10” with a bed extension or extra storage box and revised headache rack. Way easier than cutting the frame and re-making that structure. Quicker to get you on the road too.

[@mikescaggs3814]

I'm glad you got a Ramp truck you and Wes but think about a nice car covered in diesel smoke from the stacks

[@brickrodgarage]

Congrats 🎉

[@Automated14]

Add 10” to the c50 cab. Ton of work but those old pickups have tiny cabs to begin with. 😊

[@rickreese8657]

Love your video so honest and down to earth, I'm in Tn. been looking for a front split seat for a 62 impala bel air etc. maybe you've run across one for sale in your travels...hope so...keep the video coming!!!

[@fossilfuelenthusiast]

Nice filming and commentary young man

[@stevevanpatten1372]

David Newburn please keep me posted on your Ramtruck😊😊😊😊

[@timothycraft5448]

Enjoyed seeing you at the swap meet. Hope the spinners work for you. Send it!

[@vernongowsell976]

I think you should make C10 a custom extended cab . You will l9ve the extra space. It will be one of a kind

[@toddclark332]

Congratulations on the new setup guna be really cool boys ok later ❤uall

[@dougsspeedshop6187]

Awesome ramp trucks

[@Rusty_Dents]

Hotrod heaven has added to his collection. He only had two or three a couple years ago.

[@hawaiian_judge5113]

Why not keep the 10" and put a tire rack, slide out tool rack or slide out lift in between? Great content Dave! Your boy's gonna turn out alright.

[@piasprojects]

Very nice ramp truck, stoked to see it!

[@wdixon27]

stretch c50 cab 5-6" and have room for stacks between cab and bed, do the stretch just behind the door jams and push the cab wall back, that way its just cosmetic, with no messing with door fit or glass, a little more room behind the seats for comfort and dry stowage wouldn't hurt anyway

[@bradhatch9851]

Put a deep headache rack for changes and binders and straps

[@JohnLittle-ze7sp]

You and the little man are making a good team

[@stephenlea5765]

Hey David, now you know why Finn owned 4! In all reality, you should go for the roll back. Saw Cotten @ SEMA yesterday.

[@stuartburgess2409]

Didn't realise you had your own channel , now subscribed 🎉🎉🎉😂

[@patriotbrickrepairhotrodsa6099]

That's a nice truck bud And that bed is badass

[@InnocentMiscreant]

Center the wheels in the opening and fill in the blank you need a place to put batteries big work lights the list goes on

[@magoo50tv7]

Very nice! Gonna be an awesome build. Enjoyed the video, bro! Love your channel!

[@davidgough1161]

Just me, however I would graft the c60 front half to the ramp truck back half. Best of both worlds!

[@PatrickLoflin]

Nice score Dave!

[@michaelalarcon8505]

the kids awesome, and i feel those front wheel covers should stay.

[@Hootman865]

Big rig headache rack with twin stacks should take up at least 10”s

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Hey David I’d definitely be interested in the cab and front clip section since you are using the older body style truck from 1967-1972!! I have a 1981 K30 that has a decent body kinda other than the doors are both dented up and it is yellow from a fire department and I have always wanted a white square body!! And yes the cabs are definitely different lengths from the older body style trucks 1967-1972 to the square body style trucks!! How I know is I’ve done a few body swaps on both already also!!! Let me know on the cab and front clip if you would and what you would like out of it???

[@josephprice6557]

Add a custom shaped storage/tool box behind your cab.

[@duanemcmanus5116]

Cool truck,I know its alot of work but stretch the C50 cab that would be badass

[@craigengelman1369]

school bus shorten the body put bed on the frame then put air bags so you can lower it to load and unload . the bus part convert to rv !

[@craigk965]

Mike finnegan's gonna be so jealous.

[@BadgerBishop]

You could chop and stretch the cab... having the extra space inside might he helpful.

[@vehdynam]

Love the ramp truck. I vote you leave the cab alone , juts install the diesel and go.

[@ford1979truck]

I never seen a ramp truck with a stinger on the back . Very cool

[@stevetold1519]

Love the cameraman... careful mate he might end up replacing you.

[@charlestorruella8591]

Man Dave is living the life I wish I had a shop to work on cars I wish I had an old car to work on

[@Robrt32]

Yep the life I would trade anything for and he’s probably got complaints

[@12VoltDave]

@@Robrt32 I promise I don’t have complaints

[@Robrt32]

@ well good deal.

[@charlestorruella8591]

@12VoltDave your a good man Dave Dont let anyone tell you different it just so happen you where in the right place at the right time and Finnegan gave you a chance now your leading a life most would steal and cheat for I'm glad we got you instead of anyone eles I thank Mike every time I see you on KZbin thank you

[@adamortega69]

Don’t chop it make storage unit and a tire rack to haul equipment and luggage

[@tonymorse7178]

Man, that ramp truck looks really solid. I don't know that I would spend all that time and effort to change wheelbase and all for the C-60. It does look too much like the OG Roadkill for your channel, but somebody is gonna want that cab....

[@12VoltDave]

@@tonymorse7178 we’re putting it on a 4wd chassis

[@Paul-oo8hh]

I'd add a 10" cross chassis toolbox with stacks

[@1sicsrt]

Why would you spend so much time chopping the frame rather than just building a 10" +/- cabinet between the cab and bed and use that for tow stuff storage, fuel cans, etc.?

[@Derf1313]

Ya always need dry storage, stretch the cab, lol... Or just the lower for backpack/suitcase/etc. Plus, there isn't any long storage for shovel, broom, wire prop (or lifting branches). I prefer to keep those dedicated to a rig, & stowed away... Nice bed, btw, see a score.

[@1sicsrt]

@Derf1313 you can't fit a shovel into a 10" thick, 5' tall cabinet (or whatever the height from frame rail to top of cab is)? Then you need shorter shovels. A cabinet would be perfect to hang all the towing straps, turn-buckles, chains, etc.

[@Derf1313]

​What about full width? Over 6'... Lots of wreckers have a full width box, with doors on both sides.

[@1sicsrt]

@Derf1313 that's what I meant. Didn't know I had to explain about building a cabinet that is the width and height of the cab, in the space allowed for storage of misc towing supplies. Anything else I need to explain in detail?

[@wingerfan1]

The shipping would cost a fortune, but there is a C 50 box truck complete sitting in my local wrecking yard all the way in Alaska.

[@Nottherealme223]

Add a crane or a compressor, or welder/generator behind the cab.

[@KYoss68]

Why not swap the ramp bed to the C50? You'll have a stronger frame and driveline that way.

[@chuckfowler8875]

Gey that ramp bed is plenty big enough that you could have 4 foor cab orcan extended cab you can even come out that back window and put a single or double hot shot style sleeper!!!

[@roywhitman7109]

Love your channel, David! Am I to understand there's a Diesel in this truck's future? Cummins or? Can't wait to see this build!!👍

[@12VoltDave]

Yes. 24 valve

[@stevevanpatten1372]

David Newburn you should put a Blown Big Block Chevrolet in your Ramptruck

[@12VoltDave]

Maybe one day. Just happy to have one

[@johnknowlton3998]

“I like it a lot “😁👍🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

[@RIPSRIDES57]

I would add box between cab and bed always use extra storage

[@randalltremblay9687]

I see you still have the Scamborgini!!!

[@bashr52]

A diesel and a C50 cab is going to be killer on that thing
