Biting off more of the elephant

It's going to be a great Friday with a new Mike the truck nut video. Thank you, sir

[@stovebolt448]

Improvise Mike, you have to make those panels fit.😁 Also on the panel you separated, use the excess material you glued down and cut some from the excess and glue it to the roof where the metal shows through it will hide the metal. Your exactly right make small holes for wiring that way if your not happy with the outcome you don't have to worry about a big hole........been there did that, it was real fun covering that up.

Have to say it Mike - I personally really don't like the lights, especially on the door panel - they are too large and intrusive.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Maybe I can replace with lower profile 🤔

[@tomkrisel4493]

@@mikethetrucknut Are you sure the watermelon light on the passenger door panel will clear when you shut the door? If it has a box under the seat for a non air ride seat, it may be a tight fit because the light sticks out quite a bit, maybe even break the light.

@ Possible - but it’s your truck and if you like them that’s all that matters. 👍🏻

Should be done soon the daycab company is shipping out more buttons and the screws.... love how it's looking

You're doing an awesome job Mike, I wouldn't bother cutting any speaker holes, I'd have a nice quality Bluetooth speaker that you can put anywhere or take with you, simply connect to your phone and put on a playlist . Have a great Christmas Mike 🎄

You could always fill the cooling system with used oil to stop corrosion

[@treeman3663]

Hi mike so you should be thinking about getting your crap out of the shop and getting it to the other house so much to pack up.. andrew from Australia 🇦🇺

[@mikethetrucknut]

Once it's sold ill have e a month probably.... but yes I'm starting.

[@DJPLAST2]

Hey Mike, I noticed you said something when you were removing the drain plug, you probably learned it down at the shop at the dealership. “FOR PETE’S SAKE”, is that term often thrown around Willy nilly in the shop? LOL! Stay warm!

[@stansdds]

The interior is coming along nicely and that is a lot of corrosion at the bottom of that door jamb.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yeah seems all my K100s have it there 😒

Do homes in that area normally sell quickly? Wayland Jennings is/was a very popular singer in America. I don't know what he was allowed to sing in Canada. . . But in America he sang both Country and Western

[@mikethetrucknut]

Realtor said there's not alot of inventory so it might sell quick. Not any comparables with a shop like this though

[@jjMcCartan9686]

Was Wayland jennings Waylon jennings less famous brother?

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

How about some Johnny Cash?? Or Jerry Reed??. They are my 2 faves!!

[@mikethetrucknut]

Love Johnny cash

[@corners3608]

If that was contact cement you were using to glue that flap Mike you should have let both sides get tacky before you put them together.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Yep I had to pull it apart and let it dry. I got a little to excited lol

[@corners3608]

You’re still doing a great job Mike! Love the red interior!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Smokey is coming along nicely... I am guessing You and Your Dad's plan as far as Smokeys Engine is concerned is to combine your 2 extra engines to make 1 good engine??

You are throwing good money into bad with truck. You have done a lot of work, but none of the work to a factory standard. I don’t know why you keep spending money on these s#tbox trucks when you admit your workmanship is not tradesman standard. By all means play around with old trucks, but pick the right truck worth restoring and within your capabilities and budget instead of wasting your time on money pits. Duke as the only decent truck you had and you sold it to keep spending money on this old dead stuff. If you are going to revive the old s#itters, by all means, but do the job right.

[@jeff.5380]

@@Louie2309 have you ever considered that Mike actually enjoys doing what he does, he clearly has a passion for old cabovers and is clearly working on a budget. If this gives him pleasure, what's the harm in that, your not paying for it are you? If you don't like Mikes content or what he does then don't watch it.

[@Louie2309]

@ yeah well he bangs on about how nothing ever gets finished and he bounces from project to project and has to sell stuff to keep going, maybe he should stop fcking around with rubbish and just build decent trucks. All good ic he likes cabovers, but what he starts with is parts only trucks to be honest and he doesn’t have the skills to repair them correctly, so why bother at all. Mike’s ADHD get in the way of sound decision making.

[@jeff.5380]

@@Louie2309 well I personally admire anyone for having a go, he's clearly following his passion and enjoying himself, oh and putting together videos for us to watch, which I also enjoy. It definitely sounds like you should be watching someone else, someone who has deeper pockets and an endless amount of sponsors.

[@Louie2309]

@ yeah I’m all for anyone having a go. I have been watching this channel since it started,but generally don’t watch much of them anymore. He stuffs around talking about irrelevant sht and gets nothing done. If I wanted to watch an old woman stuffing around I would visit my mum
