Mrs. Dirt Perfect is going to love her new camper!

[@exotictones1054]

Kevin is just an all around good worker.he's one you want to keep from what i see.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

He is a good one

[@stantodd2769]

Great project!!!! "Build it, they will use it!"

[@scottlee1211]

One nice build Clint! Looking sharp, you have a great vision for how these custom builds should look!!! You guys work awesome as a team thanks for sharing your time!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@rickhay9782]

I think someone else commented, I'd take bumper off camper...slide camper up to where tandem looks good on side of camper...and build a small deck with railing to help haul coolers, fuel cans or bikes..rock on guys !!

[@clausiusuf]

Great concept. I like the idea of an all mechanical drive train and 55mph isn’t terrible. Slow enough to take in all the sights. Fast enough for the right most lane.

[@shelbydog1100]

This is going to be a monster of a camper. I love it

[@leoncolyer9420]

Mrs DP will love here NEW camper 👍😂👍😂👍😂 Mr DP has spent lots of money 😂😂😂😂

[@409mark]

I AM SO GLAD THAT DIRT PERFECT TURNED ME ON TO YOUR CHANNELIAM RETIRED AND IN POOR HEALTH AND YOUR PODCAST IS A REAL JOY FOR ME AND KEVIN IS A GODSEND TO YOU AND YOURS COULD YOU TELL US ARE ANY OF YOU MASTER MACHANICS YOU SEEM TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF ARMY SURPLUS

[@paulprigge1209]

Same thing here! I just can’t figure out why only has 30,000. DP has 115 now shooting for 200,000 by September I am lol

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@billypelkey4766]

Enjoying watching this build ❤ keep up the good work

[@Letstieoneon3194]

That looks awesome son. Mrs D P is going to love her new Super Sweet Ride and Go Hide. Before long she'll be Riding and a Guiding, Styling and Profiling. Sitting on her seat Looking ever so Super Sweet.🚚🚚🚚

[@terryrogers1025]

Going to be an awesome build. Looking forward to the finish product.

[@IT_Dinosaur]

I swear, you could make money by just having a camera guy follow Kevin all day. That boy has a talent for making me laugh.

[@mfenmor]

I enjoyed watching this build. Having built a few deuces and 5 tons myself, I have tried this. Since you have to raise the camper on the frame, a suggestion could be to use that extra space under the camper by building a fuel tank as your spacer. Keep the area where fuel tank was clear for more ground clearance. Move batteries and air tanks as well.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yep for sure

[@jg2072]

I was just thinking, you didn't have to post the story of this cluster. I want to say how much I appreciate you showing your challenges as well as your successes. It say alot about your character.

[@latisimusd]

Looks like a fun yet very involved project. You guys have a lot of patience with all the component variations and changes that go with a project like this. I was in the pits at a NASCAR race at Talladega back in late 70's and heard crews call it the engine and motor as well (with many accompanying swear words) . They knew what they were doing too, didn't care about word fluff. This is a "Fun build"!

[@robertnorris1808]

Another great day for C&C and you can see this project slowly becoming Beauty and the Beast. Great job so far Clint and crew and you guys really have imagination and skill. Can't wait to see the finished job.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@Michael_CS615]

Seeing where you are now with the project, I even more like the idea of a matching trailer to carry a small run-around 4x4 that converts to extra sleeping berths for guests/children. ... C&C Equipment and Trailers .... ROCKS!!!

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Looking good once get the cab done I think I would take the bumper off the camper and put it all the way forward and make a little deck on the back

[@VideosByAl]

Great build ! If you can't find a used brake peddle assembly, Wilwood Brake probably has what you need.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

You thought it was going to be simple build Clint. Just kidding you guys are doing a great job. God bless

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@skeetersaurus6249]

I thought about building something VERY similar several times...just kept hitting that 'don't have the time' issue. I DID figure out the EASIEST way to finagle the RV onto it, though...build a steel utility bed (like a Knapheide) that it fit into...that way, you get the 'security' of the side boxes, and when not in the truck, you could actually have a truck bed you could use (while keeping your truck lights, etc.). It would also solve the problem you'll get into when you hardtop a crew cab, related to clearing the RV over the cab). Then, you could either shorten the frame (bob it) or build a 'side slide' gaff crane to lower down spares (doghouse your spare tire, behind the cab, on a slider gantry-hoist setup). Great project...again, shouldn't have any problem off-road, or retailing it to the public...keep up the good work!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks All good ideas

[@mikebaum4152]

I agree with the last fan. Want to see this project finished. Like your leadership style, always encouraging and never a raised voice... at least not on camera.

[@dblclutcher4287]

Yep Keep on Keep on Building Love your building capabilites. Also the friendly Banter between you and Kevin. What a Hoot/Pair. Great to see the 2 young boys working along side Dad. The family that works together Plays together and you have the toys to do it with. If not we know your family will build what you need. Thanks for all the entertainment and education for a old retired truck driver.

[@jamesburns8247]

I love seeing the military tires on that truck frame. I worked at Mohawk Tire in Akron for 4&1/2 yrs before it shut down in Nov.78 and we built thousands of them, it seemed to be the bread&butter product at that time.

[@scottfortune9016]

Looking sweet! You should put in some outdoor cooking space too. Plenty of room over those tires for pull out cook top, etc. Maybe a TV.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Good ideas

[@davidbillings3326]

Clint, This is going to be a AWESOME BUILD. Keep up the good work. Love the videos

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Clint that’s one heck of a build! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@csettles1841]

Try using electric fans to cool the radiator. Saves on space also. You know better than me, if they can move enough air, so it's just a suggestion on my part. Love watching these gear head videos. It's what we all want to be able to do. Thank you Clinton for taking us along on this journey

[@davehoffman9767]

Great logic Clint, as being a electrician looking 10 steps ahead is what I do all the time. You have superb work ethics.!!!

[@garyjeanneheineman3307]

Clint, you do such a good job of fabricating new pieces for a new application.

[@tanyaknight8197]

You can tell your friends that there are also hydraulic motors. But motor and engine are interchangeable terms.

[@herbsprague4485]

Awesome fabrication skills, the adult version of stuff we done when we were teens.

[@carlpower164]

This looks like a awesome build for off road.

[@johnwilliams5316]

Awesome work from y’all. I can’t wait to see the final product!

[@MrGhostLt]

Clint we watch your youtube and on 47min you make wonders and now you say it take more time then your showing no we don't believe you.... You most be that fast :P Keep up the good work Think i saw a LowBoy there for the camper i don't think he will miss it to much ...

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

😁

[@AllstarVentures]

Progress is progress! Going to be unique and cool build 👍🏼 Makes me want a slide in camper for my truck

[@johnhicks9529]

That needs solar panels.& inverters inside for dual power feed setup to with dual switches capabilities.& USB ports.& cigarette lighter plug inns to for etc. Accessories to be used. Other than that it sounds awesome.& A really good idea to do with one to. I sure would do the same exact thing if I had one of those myself to for sure no doubt about it at all either. Cause that's the way to go for sure.& you can make money with that to.

[@jeffreyweise5656]

Look'in good! A lot of work! Love it!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@claytonsibley8179]

Ever think of putting a scoop in the middle of the hood for engine air? you could keep it low profile but it should work.

[@ralphharding9012]

I think that it is cool quite the immigration can't wait for it to be done

[@kennethblake7461]

Nice glamper for Ms. DP Call Mike and sale it to him.

[@bigdogcountrymusic7146]

That overhang on the Camper looks like it should be even with the Windshield.

[@MatthewJRedmond]

Coming along nicely. Good to see you working through the problems towards the final goal and not taking short cuts that will compromise the final product even though it means more work on your end. Can't wait for the next video, keep up the great work my man 😁👍she is gonna be SAWEEEET!!!

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@thomasyerbey337]

I think it's great Clint I have really enjoyed watching this come together learned something new today it's going to be Nice 🇺🇲

[@MarkSmith-vb7ym]

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@mc2000Gmc]

That's going to be one bad RV. Great show guys

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@leonardbartley5670]

Jeez Clint your going to have a million bucks just in labor. Oh well lets keep going, Great video can't wait till the next one.

[@scottfortune9016]

Sweet Friday afternoon! Camper build updates!!!

[@user-eh4ep2ix4x]

Ultimate bug out machine!!!!!!

[@toddrife8375]

No don't worry my brother's we're still watching you. You always do good videos at c&c.

[@jasonhilton4509]

Love this idea. Will be an awesome camper

[@pb4414]

Apart from the great team who work with you is your ability as a problem solver, that combination makes excellent viewing.

[@garyjeanneheineman3307]

Camper idea is a cool combination; nice work.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@leekrauss7525]

Time to get back on this project- been a awhile - take care

[@keithkalawa4239]

I want to see your Overlander build Clint I’m excited

[@rackman5111]

Now that's a good kick in the duals playing motor and tranny swope. Well you have more patience than I do 👍 and I'm sure it will rock 🪨 crawl when your done 🤪

[@johnboissonnault3594]

I think it looks great! Can’t wait to see it finished. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@phillipjones3342]

Well I like it I have no idea what it’s going to look like but I like it Gitter done

[@wadepowell7879]

On the bright side you have perfected lift work.

[@larryehrlich57]

If you guys love easy projects...you probably won't find it here. They like challenges and thinking outside the box. Good job.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Looking good there Clint. A lot of trial and error, but I am impressed with the forethought you put into the build.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@HickSquatch]

Really enjoying the build!! I want one!! Really interested to see how the engine/trans swap works out. I love how an old Deuce drives, but a modern engine and transmission are much needed! I want to be able to jump in and cruise across the state on the highway.

[@jondoe69]

What a neat idea can’t wait to see the next video

[@floydjacksonjr.1545]

Nice. I'LL TAKE THREE OF THEM.

[@ShawnBrown-yw4kf]

I think it's going to look great

[@fredharrowven1040]

Hi guys, I love what you are doing it’s very Interesting can’t wait to the next video you take care of yourself and stay safe and well and a very happy new year to you all.👍👍⭐️⭐️🇬🇧🇺🇸.

[@fredboat]

You have probably already solved your engine fan problem ,I have a 1985 M923A1 with the NHC250 Cummins and last year ,I removed the fan blade clutch assembly and installed 4, 14 inch 24 volt electric fans in a frame I welded up/fabricated and installed it behind the radiator. Ran a relay and the ground to a 160 degree temp sensor. later from Texas.

[@greggb1416]

Hahaha...! killed me when Kevin hit the switch, and that blade flipped off..., I thot that stuff only happened with me... Clint..., how bout hanging that cab from a rafter directly above the truck frame..., with a chain hoist...? then you could just have it at the “ready”..., (yes, I am being a smart ass)... Lovin this build and the videos of its progression..., feeling your pain on some of the issues that have come up. Thank you sir.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@budlvr]

Going to be a unique build for sure! Love all the problem solving going on too. Personally, with all that frame space, I'd have gone with a bigger camper unit. Hope he's got a lot of money for fuel !

[@andylarner3531]

Can’t wait to see this project finished it’s gonna be awesome

[@daniele.woodhead1218]

Clint, I believe she's going to be a beaut .

[@mirage4014]

perfect timing! just off to bed with a hot chockie,, hiya from Germany

[@loumiller2551]

Looking great Clint, you are a amazing person, love your video's.

[@andrewrobinson2869]

She is going to look AMAZING. Can not wait to see the progress. Cheers Andy Australia

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for watching

[@neilboggess9190]

When you get done it's going to look cool

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@kallenbridges8471]

the good thing about that engine is its the high torque 466 with the small bore and long stroke, which means if you ever do an inframe on it. use a 530 kit and you instantly have a DT530.

[@Dbergson]

This would be a great hunting setup!

[@tjjewell4115]

What an Awesome build, you are going to get a lot of rubber neckers when you are on the Highways and byways, great job.

[@als8326]

Three steps forward two steps back means you’re still going forward one slow step at a time all progress is good 😊👍

[@Letstieoneon3194]

I though an Engine was what southern cowboys used to fight. A Motor is what you put in a truck to get you Motorvate'n down the road.

[@jeffmay6418]

Looks like an interesting toy.

[@williamsmallwood8998]

Looking good Clint.

[@philrusciano115]

nothing but enjoyment

[@slipknot7424]

This build is making me wish I had the money to buy one for myself. We love the longer videos especially when you guys joke around with each other. When he said I’m RoboCop I almost shot Pepsi out my nose. Keep up the great videos. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

😂🤣

[@Red1Wollip]

I would take that on a road trip to Alaska

[@MySynthDungeon]

Afternoon beers .....Cheers!! Enjoying ,from Canada! :-)!

Gonna look neat with the single wheels. I've been looking at the Ecoflow solar generators. Almost silent power. Nice for that nice of camping vehicle.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

I’ll have to check them out
