Cummins swapped square body moves under her own power and working on the dash

[@davidben76]

Cummins square body! DREAM TRUCK

[@mtspace5100]

Love the videos. Favorite parts are the randomness. "We have to put a button on the throttle here... we found one on an old Aerostar Van..." Makes me laugh. Dr. Frankenstein would be proud!

[@buckeyejim2989]

Golden is a new word in the Buckeye shop😁 Thanks for sharing the update 🙏😁👍

[@j.j.clingman4083]

You no how many people in the us would love to have that truck for sure?? I bet you couldn’t even count how many people would love to have that truck!! I mean really who doesn’t like the good old square body trucks!! They are one of my favorites besides the 1967-1972 Chevy round trucks they call them and is also ones that I have also!! These are by far my favorite trucks out there and have had more than one of each for the past 30 years!!

[@oldtown6240]

Great sense of humor. Just about every video Brent makes me laugh at something. Love these videos.

[@SuperCOOLDAD1]

Awesome, Love all your builds my grandson too, he really was digging the doggies at the beginning! 😊✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@IronHorseGarage]

Yeah buddy!!! We have a Cummins Trailduster to build!!! Stay tuned!!

[@glennnickerson8325]

An hour in and there is over 3,200 views! Must be a lot of people still in lockdown or fans of the greatest fabrication channel north of the 48! Thanks Brent always a treat to watch!

[@leosimon9463]

Try watching Bad Chad he’s another very cool fabricator. Not as good as Halfass though

[@TLDLTD]

What a beautiful machine!!

[@jamescrain2948]

coming along nicely Nice to see you working with your son.

[@wolfedan3]

One of my favorite KZbin channels.

[@chrispiazza7487]

Judging from all the videos I've watched from you, you guys had a mild winter! Spring time!

[@HalfassKustoms]

Yeah shes getting there

[@richardlaurent7229]

That thing looks as long as a bus. Each to his own, good he loves it.

[@raymondcoggins297]

Another awesome build

[@shanewright6958]

The truck is coming along nicely 👍👍🇨🇱

[@robertkeable1627]

On point as ever. Craftsmen is as Craftsmen is. Be well and stay safe .

[@randyellis3116]

as always, the master of anything mechanical , strikes again. awsome work.

[@badgerpa9]

Your son's truck looks really nice hope he enjoys it.

[@GustavoLopez-px4ok]

I really like the black wheel ,military tires and the stock hub caps !

[@craigdavies4189]

Awesome as always mate 👍🏼 Great having a Father, Son project. Family is a wonderful thing 😉 Keep powering 🚀

[@jacquesleblanc602]

Very nice work. Love that truck..

[@g.eflint93]

I swear you can build anything. I'm a 65 yr old mechanic and love your work.

[@richardhaywood4123]

Really enjoying this build, love the chevy hub caps,tires really fill the fenders well. Can't wait to see it finished.

[@waynecook5836]

Your a good dad brother

[@lchebuhar9212]

Great father / son project! 💪👍🏼

[@ShilohShepherd]

Another great build series. Truck is looking great!

[@wackowacko8931]

Bulkhead connector next to brake booster is actually a main fusible link for the truck, it runs power down to the starter. You don't need it. Hubcaps are typical for Chevy Scottsdale 1977 3/4 ton 4x4. You can still find a set with the hole in it for the front hubs, so you can fit it over the full floating axle hub on the rear. You'll have to do some trimming to remove the inner ring, that should give you enough room to fit over FF axle hubs.

[@stomper2582]

Great video as always. Been waiting patiently for another one. Thanks for sharing. Really liking the square body. 👍😀👉🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Hey, I think I thought I forgot you have a water jet?! That's freakin' METAL bro! Love the truck... I'm torn cuz I've had about 4 RAM's but in highschool had a 76 Metallic Blue ScottsDale on 4" lift and 35's with the old roll bar and KC lights and Billet grill that I caught air late one night wheeling in the rain and tossed the battery into the hood that threw sparks out off the front on landing! IT seemed fine so we bailed out of there and it totally blacked out heading up the narrow squirrly road... the battery was melted against the exhaust, haha... oops. At work the next day I found the broken front spring shackle so the front leaf was 1 inch from disaster floating on the frame!

[@ipaddlemyowncanoe.7441]

Going to be a nice truck when it's done good thing he's got a dad you can do the work he's doing a lot of work himself.👍👍😀

[@floydt2029]

Your son's square body build has made real progress, like the dash work- informative video Brent!

[@blueeyz2046]

Carona and I enjoyed after a tough work day of selling ATV's and mowers. Your son is a lucky man to be able to utilize your knowledge On making different systems work. You always "figure something out". Ha ha! He is a lucky son to have a Dad like you!

[@HogshooterHotrods]

Man, love the work you get done, wouldn't have found this channel without the Deboss car show!

[@ronlynch7744]

That was thinking on the gauges. That rig is so big you will look down on the military version Hummers. The boy will be cooking down the road in no time with your help. 😎👍🇨🇦

[@BFTEgodswarrio5939]

Brent excellent video as usual and Pablo's performance is perfect as well. I was sitting here sipping coffee and catching up on my videos. And it hit me like a bolt of lightning. The perfect obvious name for your son's truck. "PRIVATE PILE" of 💩or PRIVATE 💩. KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING.

[@williamcollins4082]

Now here's a project for ya ???? With that kool plasma toy . Ya ever see a "Testla Turbine Engine" ??? Using modern metals an parts a real "Game Changer" !!! Use modern metals an ceramic bearings... Could be a serious power source... And could run on nearly anything !!!!

[@davidsantos8206]

Great video Brent. I have to be honest, I think I like the wheels better without the hubcaps. But looks good either way. Thanks for entertaining us. Looking forward to the next one.

[@michaelguinn5736]

Brent & kid(Lol), I always look forward to your video's, keep em coming...GOD BLESS!!

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

What a great job👍

[@mrnaps39]

I dig it! I like the steel wheels and hub caps!

[@johnswick4593]

That's going to be a sweet 4X4 Chevy

[@henrygibson1530]

I seen the video earlier today just wanted to say the truck is coming out nice. Well keep up the good work....😎

[@brianhaw9398]

Love it! Can't get much more reliable . Should be a very loyal unit.

[@steffybael1245]

NICE JOB ON YOUR CONVERSION!! IT LOOKS GREAT!!

[@tommcl8548]

👍

[@timhanson2080]

Square body Chevy is looking pretty good. Should be plenty powerful. 👍

[@jimmyers1630]

Fantastic to have a CRC MACHINE to make your pieces for the gauges!!

[@beealzebub4338]

Thanks Brent, excellent work as usual ! Say hi to Pablo. 👍😎🍺🕵🏾‍♂️🎸🎵👽🥂

[@daleolson7205]

You are doing fine with the video work, it is tough when it is not 100% your project.

[@MIKEH.777]

You guys are doing a great job with that brown square body truck and I think he should of let you do more and it would have been done by now lol . God Bless you and your family keep up the great work 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

[@briankinnear7461]

Lovin' the dog dish hubcaps on the black steelies. Nice lookin' rig for 'the boy'. Nice to see him doing the majority of the work on it too. Gonna be nice to see it on the road next time. Be safe and stay well.

[@freddiebates5539]

You're doing a great job helping him out with the dash and other stuff, I see the laser cutter comes in at the top of my list for desireable tools for the shop but my guess is that's it is rather pricey for most people. Keep the videos coming I enjoy them so much.

[@joe1annie2]

Agree one hundred percent Sounded nice Thanks for sharing

[@allanimalstaxi]

Busy, busy, busy helping your boy learn the trade, which is very cool. I mentioned site on Bad Chad last week and notice a jump in your subscribers numbers, this is very cool as well. Another way to grow your channel. Great show as usual.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Halfass Kustoms (Brent) :) for gauges give my idea what is do ring sleeve fit over also put 4 tabs outside to small screws on back side out gauges of Fuel also Speedometer ones for 4 small one do ring each to also plus 2 screws too hold them up in place too and take task too ! Also front & back wheels use ring 1/4 thick spacers too so hubs fit perfectly plus lug nuts too and dog dish fits excellent to perfect no cut needed! Also battery use 1/2 thick battery sizes also 14 gauge on starter plus alternator wire up and ground cable pig tail on each battery to rad to fender to engine block even transmission on too fire wall to cab also box to frame in pairs of 2 each ! Tell why one is factory and 2 is better than factory and save of bad electronics burn up also nice grounded too! Plus Alternator won't be working hard or overtime and recharge battery full faster also not burn out starter to early in life also Alternator too! He get 5 to 7 years on battery to Alternator and Starter to before need change it maybe and hope he clean connections to on regular basis too! Plus grounded helps keep Am/Fm radio get electronic from Alternator whines to and if put CB radio in too ! Sorry be long message Brent :) but offer my support also help also done this to for my vechile for years also others and got lots happy comments too!

[@reyrazo3627]

Yees sir..

[@michaelmarusic8499]

👍🏻great work again!!! love how one doesn’t finish there sons projects... I have one of those too!

[@MakinEndsMeet69]

Hello Brent, I don't know what you used to butcher that stuff out with butt I can tell you that a multi-tool would be the real answer into doing that dashboard. Although you've probably done a lot more of that stuff than me but I probably use the multi tool more than you and I can tell you leveling that stuff straight across will give you the right pitch and then you'll be able to bolt those in properly. As far as the ring idea that you had for the GPS speedometer you are spot-on with that idea that's for sure. Thanks for sharing these builds man you give me great ideas with all this stuff going on I just about finished with my K 2500 as far as getting it operational after 4 years parked. I think I got a swell deal, it was a City truck and I really didn't know it was four-wheel drive until I looked more closely and I spotted it. And I bought it and been working on it since but she's just about there. Any how many blessings for you and your family.

[@cowboychevyschneider]

keep the great work man

[@lloyd28khz43]

Looks great. Those tires are perfect for that truck. Appreciate the update on the progress.

[@peterbarnsley1915]

Looks Great how much would it go for?

[@marcfournier823]

This is my dream truck ... sort of ... almost ... tone locked.

[@jerryglen986]

You are way more intelligent mechanic than you lead on to. Great work great channel.👍🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@xozindustries7451]

Cool rig, I think I would have just cut holes into the original metal on the gauges to mount the new gauges that way they are all on the same viewing angle

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

She sounds bad ass !! and looks great too

Oh hell yeah!!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Looking good ! See you on the nice one!

[@johnds6621]

Glad to see you put bumper bolts on because when you first showed the bumper on the front all I could think about was someone was going to lose a knee cap or at the very least a pair of pants. I like watching you use the CNC machine.

[@dayslife]

you might cut out the opening in that harder clear plastic cover to keep. ...

[@donaldfranklinjr7087]

Great video

[@steffybael1245]

was easy to cut off the rivets to move the rear springs forward prior to cutting off the frame! i also have a very large flame thrower in the bed, a huge V plow in front and home made hidden armor.

[@snocrushr]

Great Dad 👍👍

[@donames6941]

I have a 1976 square body gaser and the air filter placement you have may get water in it there mine leaks water there so maybe a cover over it maybe in order

[@vicmabus1532]

Needs a Dodge grill!

[@garymccord4277]

I have enjoyed your videos and you son should be proud to have you as a dad, Just wondering if you would be interested in adopting another son? I would be a whole lot older than you but would hope to get a fine build from my Dad. Oh what is the square body being called? How about MAJOR as it to was a major rebuild. keeping theme as military.

[@hillaryguzzo]

Looking great :D

[@erichwohlfarth6862]

it nice the diesel on square body. I'm pretty sure cummins are easy install it than duramax a lot wires and ECM

[@brianherron5400]

A creator of anything

[@1957kwick]

Why do the front tires stick out so much further than the back ones is it because the front ones are more of a deeper offset or is that originally a dually? 🇺🇸🛠🇺🇸

hahaha, when you started out by saying "the kid" I was expecting you to say, "the kid was away so I decided to finish his truck" haha

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Has he done the hood spring extensions to prevent it from folding in half? I bought some in 1993 that fixed it after the fact but he could make them in 'bout 30 seconds

[@HalfassKustoms]

Can't say I've ever heard about that mod.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

@@HalfassKustoms Square body need the springs reinforced another half foot or more up the hood or they fold in half... just a rectangular strip sandwiched under the front of the spring perch

[@stevehetrick2676]

I still don't understand how people bend the Hood on a square body Chevy-GMC? Keep the hinges oiled!!! I have had a 73, 81, 82 Chevy's, and still own a 86 GMC and never bent the Hood's!!!! Yes Hood hinges need oil once in a while!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

@@stevehetrick2676 Apparently it's a factory designed weak spot to prevent decapitations but it causes dudes to accidentally ruin their hood with not much force

Is HE going to put Stacks on the TRUCK!!

Would love an update on this truck

Where did your phrase, let’s take a boot come from.. Thanks Mike...

Turning out super mean looking

[@davidpeters3224]

For the gauge cluster what if you added a sheet of aluminum to the face of the plastic face. Then you could make the holes to suit your needs

Can you be my father? What I wouldn’t have given for a father with your skills!!

[@fonhollohan2908]

I don't know why you don't like the square bodies I love these older style trucks. Their definitely build better than the newer Chevy's that's for sure. My Son just bought a brand new 1500 GMC Sierra Elevation. Mine you its got all the bells and whistles and it's a comfortable truck and all but I still would prefer A chevy 3 by 3 than the newer model and He paid a crazy $70,000 for it, which I think is ridiculous money.
