So two Oscar’s. 😂

No

Spot on with his bashing fans! Doing a fantastic job sir. Keep up the super content.

Best supporting should go to the single bib strap for sparing the audience retinal and emotional damage. 😉😂🤣

[@paulgumper]

I've had enough Puddin! I swear if you EVER shorten another long bed, or rescue one more piece of rusty junk I will sit here and watch every video! Heck, I'll sit here and watch you build a new shop again!

[@alexwombacher6961]

The Puddin and Mortske lore is one of the best things on YT😂

Happy Veterans Day, Jacob! Thank you for your service! 🇺🇲

[@AdamosDad]

It's a shop! Don't get mad at the air compressor. Even though its after Veterans Day- Thank you for your service brother.

[@Salmomlox]

Happy Veteran's Day, Puddin' and Thank You for Your Service! We truly appreciate your 6-years of service. Thank You. Lovin' the Tats 🥰 You're lookin' good and healthy, Puddin' #longbedsmatter #HanktheTank I hope she gets the truck

[@madmex2k]

I kinda have that feeling its gonna be hers for some reason too. He keeps calling her car a not so nice name, even though its just the name of a feminine product. Funny thing is, I got the same car as hers, just the 'lemonade yellow' flavor as Chevy calls the paint.

[@troysgarage]

I at least kinda relieved that I'm not the only one that has these kind of days in the shop. Puddin's having a Monday!!! 😅

[@roywilliams4855]

This has been one of my favorite build series yet

[@dkbaker336]

I was an army ranger for 6 years thank you for your service puddin

[@ohiofarmer5918]

And you got your service as well

[@johnwayne3904]

Thank you for YOUR service as well, sir.

[@wp.sworld.s]

Army ranger for 6 years where did you serve?

[@GeminiWoods]

You know whats crazy, I would never lower a truck. Hell, if i ever came into possession of a Datsun mini truck I'd probably put a lift kit and mud tires on it and watch it struggle to make it up a hill. Anyway, I say that because I really enjoy Puddin's content and the work he does. Guy makes some cool shit. Dude likes what he likes, and that's cool with me. Never miss an episode and even got some merch. Keep kicking ass man, you deserve all the success!

[@birdietherecycledhippychic642]

You have obviously gotten some gruff from some people. You keep doing things YOUR way and ignore the hatters. We love watching whatever you do.

[@matthewjohnston1400]

I agree with every word of this.

[@dustincarraway7848]

Puddin your the dad uncle and friend we all need. Thanks for making my day better buddy.

[@natemarch1987]

Wouldn't mind if he was my neighbor, that would be great 😃

[@adamculbertson7850]

The long bed thing in the beginning of video had me cracking up. Thanks for staying funny Puddin!

[@bobbellew9240]

Thank you for your 6 years of service!!!!!!

[@Astar_Isborn]

I love that you and ol mortske go back and forth ribbing one another. I follow both of y'all's channels and it's refreshing to see a couple good ol boys giving each other shit like y'all do. He really likes your pressure washing clips. Hahaha. Oh yeah, happy veterans day brother. Thank you for serving this magnificent country of ours!!!

[@andrewledford3865]

Puddin' done shook the straw out of the primer can 😄

[@dascooter8287]

That’s one of the rarest specials GMC ever produced. It’s a Farmer’s Harvest Half special edition. The only easy giveaway to spot one is the short 6 1/2 ft bed with six, count’em, six stake pockets. Lol

[@deanjohnston4806]

Love the shortwide conversion and I served 4 years in the Army.

[@RicosGarage]

Little tip for removing spring bushings. 1. Burn the rubber with your torch. Let it cook until the center sleeve falls out. 2. Gently slice the outer sleeve with the torch once it's sliced it will practically fall out. 3. Install new bushing

[@chadhull8521]

I've been working at a spring shop in Michigan for almost 30 years and that's the method I use too.

[@jasocole1820]

I don't heat spring steel it takes the temper out of it. But yes that does work.

[@gofoxyourself7568]

I use a sawzall through the eyelet on the outer sleeve I cut where the eyelet has a depression so I don’t cut into the leaf

[@JonathanOnDrums]

I think Puddin’s shaker attachment shook the straw loose in the rattle can. 😂

[@Baystateboy125]

Puddin, you’re the luckiest guy. Not because of luck, but because you love your job and with hard work you’ve made it a success.

[@shonuff5297]

Coming from the lowrider community I appreciate that intro. 😂 The amount of hate we get for saving cars from the weeds, people get mad that WE ruined the cars when we put hydraulics on them...😂🤣

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Whats funny though is they will never say it to your face. Hitting switches for THEIR $itchs

[@Rorer714.]

A car can only make one person happy the man with the title.

[@ariellepascale]

Tow truck driver at a car show looked at me and my truck and said to his buddy dumkunt will high center then I will have to rescue her, 5/7 beltech kit on my Obs long bed, my truck is not lower then that factory Cadillac, trust me I won’t need you tow guy

[@cantstanddogs4776]

Stop lying.. You guys have ruined a bunch of showroom cars just to bend the frame.

[@DaneHall-of6xh]

well i too hate hydraulics but its better than seeing a rotted out vehicle i suppose

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

When I worked for my friend the famous car builder Dan Woods back in the late 70’s early 80’s we lowered Chevy trucks only on Saturdays. We would shorten the lower control arm to make the ball joint rest properly and get the camber right. Plus we’d put the sway are inside the brackets so it would be properly positioned. Few more things also. My lowered black 78 Chevy stepside was really low and I would tow my blown gas drag boat to Parker Az doing 85-90 mph thru the desert with boat in tow, top to my tool box in the bed along with a 55 gallon drum of race fuel and 3 more 5 jugs of fuel and rode beautiful with never ever any problems bottoming out. We used Gabriel air shocks on the rear. Perfect.

[@WetPickle1]

I like both long and short beds. I don't hate.

[@whoaaanelly65]

Puddin - thank you for your service.

[@Bowen124]

I enjoy watching Puddin a whole lot more than I did Bad Chad, Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service.

[@1980bwc]

"If ya know what I'm tryin to say?!" 😂 I had to stop watching that piece of garbage, after the Ford Coupe tantrum.

[@jotterson1156]

Two way different channels

[@stephenstevens6573]

Agreed! I used to enjoy him, but like you say, after the Ford bullsh**, I lost all respect, that and the tantrum over the VW thing...he's just gone over the edge ..sad...feel sorry for Joline

[@war7334]

I guess its pretty difficult doing a new live video everyday.I think the guys just burned out and frustrated.

[@Tom.......]

bad chad is just a tweaker that builds stupid looking vehicles.

[@halfahotrods6332]

My older son and I were watching and enjoying this video when the younger son walked by, started watching for a minute and then asked (outraged) "Is he cutting up a longbed to make that shortbed?!" We're all in agreement that you do what you want with yours and I'll do the same with mine...but it was funny to see both reactions in the same living room.

[@2Broke2Quit]

Excited to see what we have happenin on today's episode!

[@desireeprice2428]

hope you and your familly had a great day. thank you for your service.

[@mikeferraro8917]

I honestly like the long bed, but it does look sweet slammed and shortened

[@pauldulworth2768]

You just don’t know the word quit and I admire that. Well done, sir.

This is the greatest monologue in Puddin’s history!!! Get ready for multiple comments!!! Please do a live premiere bro!!! Get the whole crew involved!!!

[@mikecsokuly3122]

I do actually do enjoy your shenanigans, but today’s was exceptional. I was almost in tears laughing so hard. Great job puddin

[@garylgoldberg]

Agreed!

[@vanillagarilla965]

Man I love these full make overs and even if the videos where 3 plus hours long I’d still watch them. Thanks for the entertainment Puddin you really do incredible work. Your workmanship is second to none buddy…..👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@Zrambo49]

I've been watching you for awhile, Happy Veteran's day. I picked up you were in the Air Force, I don't recall what you did. You use one word that our engine mechanics used. "Mammerjamer" We called you guys rubber band winders, They called us nose pickers. Keep up the outstanding work.

[@_Frank_the_Tank]

#LongBedsMatter... 😂 Whether it's lifted, slammed, or stock, short bed or long bed, it don't matter. No matter what it turns into it's gonna be waaaay better then being left for dead in a field.

[@zachdavis4597]

Please read the whole thing. I really don’t like slammed trucks at all, not my thing. But, it’s your thing and I like watching it. You are very funny, and I really enjoy your channel. It brings me joy and I am so happy for your success. You deserve it. I’ve been a fan since……probably your first video. What I’m getting at is, I don’t have to agree with your choices to enjoy what you do. It’s your truck, it’s your show, it’s your style. Thanks for all the fun, you are a heck of an entertainer, keep building the things you want to build, that’s what makes this channel great! Also, if you want to ship to the UK, just put it in a box without tags, invoices or wrapping (like it’s just some secondhand clothes) and they can’t touch you. Thanks for the good times!

[@scottm344]

I think it's cool you decide to do a weekly long episode. Most channels would break it down and do 1 vid a day in order to get 7 times the weekly ad rev instead of 1 long vid. Just cool to be able to watch the whole week in 1 vid is all

[@KevRalph]

Last year I used to leave in the comments he would probably be better off cutting these in half and doing two vids a week.. would benefit him But I like these long videos better

[@scottm344]

I agree I like the longer vid as well but from a financial standpoint a 2 hour vid could be broken down into 6x 20 min vids and his ad rev would be 6x what it is now. Meaning in a months time he could be making 24x what he is now and just imo that would be worth it for him and his fam, can you imagine being able to 24x your income in a month

[@madmex2k]

Oh Yeah! Pee Paw's Truck lookin' Sweet!! My big ole belly won't fit unless it has tilt and telescoping steering wheel, but I love this old truck so much!

[@MrDirtrider777]

My favorite build plus the S10 build love them both you should find a real short bed and make it a long bed and really piss em off 😂

[@anthonyasbury5218]

Puddin has the short bed and frame already

[@matthewjohnston1400]

It’s got the look of an old International pickup truck. I like it.

[@RubenChickenFences]

I love your personality so much Puddin. There’s nothing like Monday and Thursday evenings for me. I laugh so much every week. You provide so much entertainment to so many. That’s why I want to buy ur shirts. They’re awesome and I want to help reward you and your family for all your hard work. I’m appreciative that you did a pre order for the shirts so I could finally get one

[@woodybarber6010]

Looks great!! Needs a 383 stroker with a five speed manual transmission, just saying’ great video!!

[@DeNBOSS112]

Thank you for your service. Also, I love you the long videos. You are very entertaining to watch work.

[@AintScaredGarage]

Hey Puddin, my neighbor is a welder by trade, he said the jacket the wire runs in gets dirty and can make the wire bind, I'd clean it out with I guess brake clean then blow it out good with air, he also said to put a piece of sponge on the wire before it goes into the jacket and that should keep it cleaner in the jacket, it worked good for me

[@bobbymac9334]

Thank you for your service bud.

[@ibdesertdog]

I am sorry people don’t understand who owns that truck, or who is running this channel. I was pretty sure it was called Puddin’s Fab Shop. Anyway, I’m not in to lowered short beds. I like lifted long beds. I sure do like your channel though. It is entertaining and informative. I’m pretty sure I could stretch my mega cab dodge for a long bed with what I’ve learned from you and others on KZbin. I’m happy you are successful with your channel. Keep up the great content.

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

Get a pneumatic needle scaler. They have different diameter needles and they're the best thing for removing scale and crud from a frame.

[@cmleoj]

I love a needle scaler. I ran one for a spell on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. If course there’s plenty of rust on oil rigs, but the scaler would clean it off quick. The end of my oil patch time happened when the hose going to the scaler wasn’t connected properly, and it slipped loose and banged into my face! Almost lost an eye, and that was good enough reason to quick and go back to college. Scalers are golden, as long as you have the CFMs to run them.

[@pauld3638]

Appreciate your service, great episode really funny. You need to puddin up those check caps

[@jamesbarantor7094]

"I was gonna be a seal." that right there is why I love Puddin. I don't even need to watch the rest of the video, just 1:20 in and I'm hooked. lol

[@br549200]

Right up there with “I almost joined”

[@thesmallwoodlot433]

Hope all veterans had a great weekend, I served in the Marines from 88-94, and I find it rewarding to watch and create KZbin videos myself. Suggestion make a chart of “gain” for your metal break, take a scrap piece of metal make a mark for your bend so if “zero degrees “ is the flat surface to the bottom of your work piece then the gain is 1/2 the radius of the bend it self, this will vary according to the thickness of the metal being bent, the “take up” is the loss in travel of the bend. Knowing these 2 things you can precut your materials and bend!

[@wp.sworld.s]

So you were over in desert Storm?

[@thesmallwoodlot433]

[@caseyj.1332]

You might of shook your spray can too hard and caused the dip tube to pop loose so it wouldn't pick up the paint unless upside down. Great show, my favorite, thanks.

[@t-roys]

I have always wanted to see how to cut a long bed down to a short bed. Very nice.

[@NCMOUNTAINMAN]

Probably why you had to spray that rattle can upside down is the pick up tube got dislodged with the super shaker 😂

[@flatworm00]

The truck looks great!

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

I think your "Rattle Can Dan Can Shaker 5000" may have nocked the hose loose on the inside that's why she'll only spray upside down.

[@johnnyzander1466]

You wrote exactly what I was going to point out. Thanks 👍

[@JDLarge]

When you’re done with that primer can go ahead and cut it open. I bed that super shaker shook the straw off the inside and it’s just floating around in that can. So far that’s happened twice to me, that’s why I made a spinner out of a tall plastic water bottle and a long 1/4x20 and a few washers. It still mixes it a lot better than just shaking by hand. I’m digging that short bed! Anyone can see it’s a true labor of love! 👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy✌🏼

Hey puddin I’ve had to change my linner for my welding gun at least 6 different times!!! But I definitely weld all the time with mine and they do wear out!!! I actually just changed my hole gun setup this summer to a brand new Tweco gun and it is a much heavier duty gun and a higher amp gun!!! The place I got it at has been doing a sell on welding for guns!!! If you bring in your old gun and buy a new gun they take off over 60% of the price of the new gun!!! My new Tweco gun was just under a 1000.00$ and when I gave them my old gun it cost me right around 200.00$!!! Definitely an awesome setup and much heavier duty than my old gun that came with my welder!!! My welder is a big Lincoln welder with 400amp setup!!!!

[@francispalmer9737]

Yet another 2hrs and 3 mins of pure goodness. Keep em coming Puddin

[@DocSprocket]

I could be entirely wrong here, but I think if the spray can is only working when upside down, it's because your DeWalt Earthquake 5000 Paint Shaker done rattled the straw right off it. There's usually a tube that runs from the valve down towards the bottom of the can so it'll spray upright and use ALL the paint.
