Dump Truck Budget Build DIY Style - Axle Swap and Cab Paint Prep

[@jimurrata6785]

Those radiator support 'horns' on the frame are in amazing shape! When the hex wallows* out, you can buy or make your own 'frame savers' from thick washers and weld them in. 😉

Optimism and perseverance is not lacking on this channel...great progress Captain! ⚓️🛟

Well said.

Really loving how spacious your work shop is, gets you out of that nasty weather that we all hate working in. I wouldn't say I am jealous of it though. The lighting is awesome, it's like working outside😂😂😂

[@jimmowers7675]

Good evening Mike. Your truck is coming along mighty fine. Thanks for sharing your videos.

[@jimurrata6785]

You're a man after my own heart, the way you only care enough to make it right with what you have on hand!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

I’m usually pretty careful about eating and drinking while watch Captain videos because of the choking hazard but, this morning, “So much for slow” got me. I did a nice ‘dark roast’ nasal flush. I really should have seen that one coming 😂

Mike you are doing an awesome job my friend.

[@AquaPeet]

Wowsers, that is a darn nice axle! It's starting to look like a truck again! NOICE!

[@CMDSR]

Well lookie there Captain. You have something that looks a whole lot like a truck.

[@tombauer7330]

Excellent work, Mike! It is starting to look like a truck. Your attention to detail is really awesome.

[@ianh9772]

My wife always knows when I'm watching a Kleeman video, apparently I'm smiling throughout. Thanks for yet another great one

[@CaptainKleeman]

Lol

[@youcanseeitall]

Weeee Haaaa We got ourselves a beginning of truck, Big congratz its nice when plans come together well sort of but hey its the journey. Can't wait for the next video. Keep em coming.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@troyweatherford9874]

That went pretty smoothly

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@MikeGetsItDone]

What does your wife use for laundry detergent? OMG, what a sponsorship opportunity that would be!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Lol

[@lloydprunier4415]

Watching you use the 555 to aid in these jobs is testament enough to know that you are doing things right enough! I remember all the work you did on the 555 and in some miserable weather conditions that I never liked and absolutely couldn't work in now unless it was a matter of survival!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Definitely worth it!

[@johnsmart3587]

Kawabunga Capitain!!!! We are on our way!!!! Thanks for involving us in your plans.

[@jasonhovey815]

Coffee and captain great way to start the morning

[@terryrogers1025]

I still like it, it’s going to be awesome truck when you get it running, fun stuff. Thanks for the update, appreciate and enjoying the video series on the truck.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@andrewsamanthamadison3320]

Captain Kleeman = Sam Rockwell 😂

[@randy5411]

Good comparison.

[@slimjim3229]

It took 30 years for that patina on the cab to get where it is now. Can't believe you brushed it off. But I understand why you cleaned the gutters. Try to save that green on the sides, it's priceless.

[@wk6976]

Well done Captain. You are an inspiration. Thanks for all the lessons.

[@garydillon3960]

Slowly but surely becoming a truck again. Looking Good. God Bless and Stay Safe.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

did somebody say dump truck? you have my attention!

[@jimmytew9468]

Can't wait to see the dump truck finished and hauling dirt. You're doing a great job with it.

[@JamesTrump-k2y]

It looks like it's coming together. Pretty neat.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks

[@willis2557]

[@chrishelms1967]

That rear axle has some nice rims and the tires appear to be in great shape with plenty of tread ......thats a lucky bonus 💪👍

[@johnaikema1055]

your verbiage is brilliant. never change.

[@maxobara1496]

The beast is looking good Captain!!💪🤗🇺🇸

[@thebear5454]

That's what I'm talking about. Great progress on the Chassis & fuel tank solution Mike

[@Andyrob323]

Really enjoying this series. Thanks captain

[@rons3103]

Mike, time to get one of those countdown clocks in the background, you know, similar to the one that is counting down to the end of the world, but on a smaller basis. That way, we know how much time you have left to complete the project. Funny is, we may not be around to see one of those clock hit zero! 😂😂 Coming along nicely. Also, does it make sense to invest in a paint gun versus paying for high priced spray cans? Based on how many you buy, I would be already banned for life or put on a watch list in my area! 😂😂

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Finally, back to a complete rolling chassis! Going to be interesting to see how that dump bed is going to fit on that longer frame. Just might involve cutting a portion of the rear off.

[@ryangross5446]

Man its really coming together now. I would have done exactly the same thing with that fuel pump tbh, fabrication is just inevitable when you start swapping random parts together haha. Always a good time. Great video!

[@degrom542]

I'm hooked on this build can't wait for the next one . Thanks captain for sharing .

[@goptools]

Hi Mike. She's a roller! Nice progress. That is going to be a sweet truck when you're done!

[@jana171]

Amazing what one man can achieve with a backhoe ready at hand... that 555 build sure pays off right here too... in spades, so to speak 🙂

[@fluffyashes]

I love watching how inventive you are in finding ways to work alone. I wish I could help even if it was just holding the flashlight ! Reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd work wtih my dad he had that same spirit you do.

[@NoPlanProjects]

I really hope the paint scheme plan involves a Captain Kleeman logo on the doors. That would look awesome!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Lol that would be cool

[@wearewatchers9570]

Destine to be another Captain Kleeman classic.

[@Camping814]

The Subaru lives on! The compressed springs of fury had me a little nervous. Amazing what you're accomplishing with what you've got.

[@dfusit]

Impressive amount of progress on this project Captain.

[@stmrev]

Your laundry basket must be a sight!!!

[@kevinjohnston1957]

I showed my brother your video. He didn't like it and has now been disowned. Great work and great work attitude. I'm looking forward to your next one!

[@allensharlow7763]

Mike I’m loving your dump truck build, it’s really getting nice, your doing an awesome job on it 👍👍😎😎🍮🍮❤️

[@waynerudiger1756]

Looks awesome sitting on all 6 wheels! It's going to be a really spiffy mongrel.

[@morgansword]

All those people who pretend to be your friend and then make you explain just what or why you got up in the morning is crazy. Yeah there are probably a bunch of ways for doing stuff but its still just your truck and you are doing what many wouldn't consider doing. Keep up the good fight and just know I as a good mechanic support your ideas and thinking

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you sir

[@tmacie2]

Big progress every video! Oh and very sneaky with the social media clips.....

[@alexosborne5629]

Back on all wheels 😃 Installation of the new shocks was different, but worked a treat 🤓 The cab has cleaned up well. It was very kind of your daughters to donate the masking tape too 😉

[@hilarydrinkwater5392]

The preamble sort of said it all Cap'n, but the old Subaru said it plainer, and what he said is currently on a T-shirt that would get you back to your comfort zone ~ "The Devil saw my head was bowed and thought he had me beat...... and then he heard me say AMEN."

[@kymw7833]

Mike the progress on this video was great the truck is really taking shape it's exciting seeing this old truck coming back to life ,you keep it real mate 😊😊😊 Kym Adelaide

Thanks for sharing your videos. Great progress this week. Looking forward to seeing it finished and moving dirt. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@brucehuff5566]

It is nice to see it coming together. I like the days where you can have your hand wash puddles by your side. Haha. Stay safe

[@everestyeti]

That rear suspension set up looks really good, better than factory and your right the doors on the 3rd truck are better. Had an idea, you could replace your running lights on the cab roof with a massive led light bar, you'd see everything at night, 👍

[@zvonibab]

Well done Mr Kleeman

[@kenthesparky178]

This song is going through my head for this project you are doing. Four wheels on my wagon And I'm still rolling along The Cherokees are chasing me Arrows fly Right on by But I'm singing a happy song I'm singing a higgity, haggity, hoggety, high Pioneers, they never say die A mile up the road there's a hidden cave And we can watch those Cherokees Go galloping by

Great to see the truck starting to come together. Your intros are always good, in my opinion. Great video again Captain.

[@dannystubblefield5478]

my sons first ride was an s10 blazer-we replaced the frame after finding the original frame had a huge crack at the crossmember under the oil pan. We aqquired a frame from the junkyard/ painted it/ basically KLEEMANNED IT then set the blazer body on it and drove it for years. i am not a ford person but i am enjoying the videos on this build- you sir are doing a great job . the memorys will stay with you. thanks for sharing

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate ya watching

[@tonykleeman7556]

Love it, Brother! Started to come together nicely! Your very own Tonka truck.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Pretty excited!

[@johnnicholson2779]

Great reference to the Johnny Cash song "One Piece at a time".

[@harveylong5878]

another hurdle cleared Capt. she's a roller. mixing and matching parts always so much fun, especially on something someone else has tinkered with previously. the ride oughta be interesting with those leaf springs from the tow truck. Ford's rode like a 18th century horse drawn cart anyways

[@stephanrobinson4050]

Looking nice keep up the good work loving your videos

[@todds9503]

Looking Good Mike ! 👍

[@MrWoodshoes]

I restored a 37 Chevy flatbed years ago at work and put the chassis on tall (5') jack stands. Using a small sandblaster it was so easy to do the whole thing including the drivetrain in one day !

[@CaptainKleeman]

Dang, should have just grabbed my 5' jack stand

[@jackgreen412]

P.S. to my previous compliments: Nice top notch job you are doing.
