Custom Deckplate + I Painted My Frame w/ A Brush?!?

A 5 year vision finally becomes reality!! I have always loved the look of red frame & hubs on a black truck. It’s just so hot rod & definitely suits my style.
In this episode we begin with filling in the holes of the frame after the stretch was completed. You can find that episode here: • My Truck Got 4ft Longe...
I decided to paint the frame BY HAND with brushes & rollers using Rustoleum gloss black. I can control the thickness much better that way.
Part 2 we get the custom deck plate back from the fab shop, powder coated red. Installation includes keeping plumbing & wiring hidden for a clean look wherever possible.
A huge thank you to Will Sanson of Sanson Enterprises in Dodge Center, MN for his outstanding work on the deck plate. I'm impressed with everything they've helped us build including all the stainless panels on my sleeper.

It looks good and how a man stretches his frame is up to him you done good 👍

[@walterfoster5682]

Love the dump trailer I pulled dump in 48 states for 17 years loved that kind of work.

[@dwightcorbett8889]

You did a really good job using a roller and brushes. I really like where you're going with this, you have some rather unique ideas. That red deck plating really sets the whole thing off and the stainless steel on the back of the sleeper, awesome.

[@normanboulet2877]

Watched it twice. I like it!

[@relay93]

The deck plates made a big difference in the look of the whole rig. The pin striping will add another level of coolness!!!

[@joecorrie1]

Love the detail, the red really does the truck justice. Once you have the fever it’s there for life! Keep on Truckin

[@davidbeley1926]

Major sweet ride!!

[@charleslee6585]

[@jasonburger3085]

Truck looks great .. hopefully a full rear light bar is in the future.. A full trailer polish would really turn heads

[@michaeloneill3534]

I have been using the rustoleum black on my frames and suspension for over 30 years and it is still my go to.......

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

I love big rig trucks and truckin,I really enjoy your show.

[@jasongregory3561]

The red chassis looks good with a black cab good job mate

[@robbiepou354]

The addition of the plates made a big difference in the look. Looking forward to seeing the pin striping!

[@MIKEH.777]

👍 it's like having a brand new rig without having to break in the seat . Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family Sir.💪🏼 💯👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌

[@johnchandler975]

Looks sharp.Loving that old school hot rod look.

[@bikerboy674]

Your truck looks good with the plate

[@vaughncowan4055]

You do a good job keeping your truck clean and safe. Your frame cover looks great.

[@donaldwhitaker36]

looks great!!! I always weld studs underneath for attaching before the final paint or powder coat is put on

[@brianwankowski3086]

Love the deck plate. Keep the videos coming. On the top of them what about some skateboard grip tape to walk on? Get it in an accent color to the red and black, gives you some grip for those Minnesota winters.

[@50murphy]

First class work.

[@travis4man]

Awesome detail! You have that Bob Ross oura! I really enjoyed the video, Thank you!

[@earthpeoplemusic4995]

Look great man the red frame really shows off the stretch, and the music in this video sounds great and fits perfect

[@jasonparker5800]

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@spitoinkr]

Truck is looking real good. Can't wait for the pin stripes. My first truck was a 9700 painted black with red and silver pin stripes....real pin stripes. I totalled it 10 months after I've bought it and never could get someone here in South Africa to do pinstripes.

[@curt2580]

I can smell this video haha. Great job.

[@carlthor91]

Awesome job at a great price.👍 Best wishes from 1,100 miles North.😎

[@jounipaas]

Man, neph Phil, this video was well done and interesting! I love how you balance explaining what might seem like basic info to you, but new to some of us, with keeping the video moving at a good pace. You inspire the rest of us to take pride in doing a good job without going all nuts about it. Keep up the good work!!

[@TruckinSwede]

Great job!!! I love the sleeper too!!!! I'm hoping that my '73 a model can look this good.

[@aaronlevin2031]

You're Killin it. Thanks for the before and after pics at the end. Can't wait to see what's next on your old school rat rod. #respect

[@terryperrott9913]

I love the backplate ,,, the penstriping will add more charichtor to it... I also like the panels on the sleeper as the look like the old school ' mercury ' .... And the 60 something Blue Chevy stepside , with a LS motor lots of horses under the hood.I had a 64 3/4 ton with a 327 big jernial change with a 4inch high rise intake & headers ... I got good millage as long as I kept my foot out of it , it had the factory 4 speed on the floor, 1st gear was grany .

[@bensykes1865]

Nice job I like how you do Stuff I like how you handle yourself keep up the good work I'd like your attitude nothing negative always looking at The positive side of things

[@josho4971]

Nothing wrong with a roller and brush . Looks really nice . I’ve painted a few dump bodies and frames with the same set up and they lasted for years .

[@davidsimons6881]

Looks great and the frame turned out awesome hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

[@gliderider7077]

Looks amazing! At 25 mph you won’t see a thing anyhow

[@bogdanstepien7897]

To be honest. I’m doing the same thing. Thanx for the easy fix 🤘🏻

[@wingnutwelding]

Grain belt! I think I drank one before that the cap ended up on a little blue and white Kenworth frame.

[@danielayers3054]

Very well done man, it look so good and I bet it will ride ah little smoother. 270 is ah really nice length for that truck.

[@bradsmn]

I love the Brain Melt caps on the bolts. :) It looks great and the attention to detail is fantastic for a daily.

[@jameswhite2198]

Hey man that looks alot better I’m thinking about painting mine red but that’s a lot of money so I’m gonna enjoy watching how you handle it 👍

[@darrellmiller3120]

Looks good!

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Perhaps a bit of orange pinstriping on the cab and sleeper, but just a suggestion. But it looks great as it is now.

[@danielsmith9500]

Looks great! I learned a while back if it doesn’t matter about thr nuts u csn use regular nuts on the stainless bolts and it won’t gauld up

[@terryramby8505]

Very nice!!!

[@ClintsTractor]

You remind me a little bit of my fleet manager and end dump lead. The former will do anything to keep the show going for my trucking company. He's been trucking for a little over thirty years. The latter will do the same and is a clean freak (which is a good thing) with nigh on forty years under his belt. They're both old school truckers. My other younger drivers look up to them. Well, down to my fleet manager as he's so short. Every now and then we'll crack the old phone book or wooden blocks on the pedals joke. He never gets tired of that. Haha I will definitely be sad when they retire around five years from now...

[@lancebowers6591]

Can you do a video of just showing us the truck how it started to where it's at now, year, make ,model engine? Really cool truck!

[@theANGRIERone]

That came out amazing! NIce job, dude and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@maxschimminger1553]

It looks nice good job

[@johnratliff8838]

Looking good

[@ThePlatanero22]

Beautiful

[@zollermichael]

I like the motorcycle foot peg. I've been trying to come up with something that doesn't take up a lot of room.

[@douglasdraheim4405]

I like that . I'm going to do that to my pete

[@johnferreira2044]

Old kenworth looking good mann , Nice work , It is your truck , I like pin striping , but I would not put nothing on the frame Of what you have done HAPPY new YEAR be safe take care yourselves

[@michaelsorrentino9279]

Nice job!!! Try a paint called "POR 15", it is a rust inhibito,r very good product. Only in black and a bit pricey!!! but the results are great..

[@Mhurtle65]

Sweet.....

[@seanmoore4831]

Have you ever thought about a thin piece of plexiglass glass on top of the deck plate and clamp it on the ends? Just an idea

[@jimbeam7776]

You did a great on the stretch. I have a1974 9500 GMC long hood I’m going to do the same, you gave some great ideas! Also I have 2007 379 Pete I redid the frame 2 years ago and Summit Racing 2 part catalyst and top with there frame paint! It still looks as good as the day I painted it, I’m in Ohio. Don’t get wrong Rustoleum is good stuff just thought I add another product in the mix !! I’ll definitely will watching all your videos

[@jameshenry3921]

For your deck plate cover it with the clear wrap you put on windshields

[@mikehiggins5233]

Nice 👌

[@mikestobbe4274]

You inspired me to get mine done but being in Canada I got a wait a bit it will get destroyed if I don’t wait till spring

[@guillermotapia749]

Very nice

[@kimstanley6496]

YEAH 👍 👍 YOU DID A,NICE 👌 OLD SCHOOL Job" looking GOOD 👍10-4 O.G.CALIFORNIA DIRT HAULER BACK QUIET 🤫!"

[@turbo6598]

You also could got studs and welded them to the underside and put it on that way

[@josephjackson3214]

That's the same way I painted the frame on my 359 pete

[@geezer4962]

Attention to the details make the difference, not a thing wrong with using a brush or rollers.

[@timothymclain2355]

The red and black look good together. I've done that color combo on a couple motorcycles I've owned. I have to ask, what,s the arrows on your arm for?? Can't remember where your left hand is??? LMAO

[@oluna1981]

Clear vinyl wrap on the deck plate
