Fixing Up A Cheap Ford L8000

[@bradpiovesan8550]

Love to see another L8000 kept on the road. Their front ends are some of the best.

[@markcheshul8844]

You show a great deal of pride in your equipment; making it all look good. Hopefully that translates to success. I am too far away to use your services; but would based on the way your stuff looks. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful 2023!

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I appreciate that. I do my best to keep everything clean looking

[@jstar1000]

Before painting rusty metal, after prep like you did, get some OSPHO from your local hardware store like ACE and put it in a spray pump bottle and spray all the metal down and let it sit overnight. It will turn black and neutralize the rust and be ready for paint, no need for primer. works like a charm. I've done several rusty trailers and it makes the paint last a long time.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks for info

[@rickgalla3377]

Looks fantastic, great job, thank you

[@billyhaddock5540]

DD, when u took-off the second fender and it came off, and it hit the door, and the door came-off the building, I was laughing my butt-off. You Sir have the repair shop of all repair shops.. L8000 looks sharp..

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Haha

[@FrankKriticos]

I’m not super handy but learn a lot from your videos. Impressed that u take the time to set up the camera angles. Super helpful.

[@astonmartin2727]

Love the way you make these vehicles look great again. You do a fine job making them pretty and it shows your attention to detail Dave. Keep up the clean vehicles.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@flir67man84]

Starting watching you when AC mentioned you. That was a great repair, years ago I learned from old Russian videos to wrap the tire with ratcheting strap when filling., in case it blows won’t take your head off..

[@willw7545]

That’s a cool setup with the hydraulic pump. Mixers and plow trucks all have those. It runs off a shaft from the motor rather then a geared pto off the trans

[@henkweurding3339]

Safety first, nice of you pointing out the hazerds of inflating a tire. Nice video. Good luck.

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

Nice derusting and fender upgrade . You are a hard working guy Dumpster Dave !

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@erikosterhus3733]

Great work Dave, for a 1990 that thing cleaned up very nicely. Well done.

[@dryroasted5599]

Hard work; good results. I can see why you're Andrew's friend.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@artyweaver7093]

i saw your video and i'm very impressed with the pride you put in your equipment

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

We use a 3” cup wire wheel brush on a Dewalt angle grinder when cleaning water mains , works great on rust

[@rickgalla3377]

Nice truck, good bones, u can make new fenders very easily, best of luck

[@canvids1]

Great find I drove the 9000 and they were nice to operate best wishes with you new find,

Thanks for the video Dave 👍👍

No problem 👍

Mighty fine good job brand new rebuilt!! God bless!!

Thanks

[@robstuckey]

Enjoy your videos. Use heat gun next time for the decals

[@wolfgangr3924]

I've never seen a truck tire pulled off the rim and put back on by hand. great

[@m.brillon8808]

AWESOME JOB! What a nice clean truck. Thanks for sharing and a Happy New Year to you. Take care from Canada eh!

Hi. Just came over from Camarada. Thanks for the content.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Welcome

[@jakegiossi7447]

Nice to see someone who knows to take onions off of people food before giving it to your dog. Far too many people don’t seem to realize that onions are actually hazardous to dogs and can kill them! (Same with chocolate, grapes/raisins, etc.) Great video on an awesome old truck. The Ford L-Series remain some of my favorite trucks ever produced. My only question is, how do you get parts for them these days?

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Metro ford

[@spencerrobinson2719]

Nice video and a cameo appearance by s-10 Glenn :)

[@jackjacke4654]

Never seen a better case for one of those new rust lasers.....

[@ronarmstrong8585]

Dave, you work almost as hard as Andrew. Just kidding I think you both work equally as hard to keep your business running.

[@cannon440]

Next time you do a rust restoration, use Ospho over the leftover rust then prime & paint. Diablo D0748CF STEEL DEMON 7 1/4 inch 48 Teeth Metal works much better than the disk.

[@ronnygraves6380]

Looks good! Great job

[@mrbill8542]

If you sand off the tops of those spider legs those wheels will slide on alot easier !

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I hit them with the wire wheel before putting wheels back on.

[@MrPhotodoc]

In our local area (West Central Illinois), the county has a chemical/electronic recycle center where you can browse through pallets of paint for free. I have found new cans of industrial 2-part Epoxy that's great for vehicle frames.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

That’s cool we don’t have that here

[@Dumpster_Dave]

There is another Dumpster Dave in Illinois that we always get calls for funny

[@piratboss]

Nice truck, happy new year

[@thestuffz]

its amazing how much corrosion gets in the gasket area of the tail lights. just doing that same crap with my 04 F350 with a deck on it. I swear thats gonna rust out before the deck lol

[@Dumpster_Dave]

All the salt and sand likes to collect there

[@125sm3]

Great job 👍

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

From North Carolina South used has almost no rust . None from winter road salt

[@eddiemortontapman7252]

Nice tire tools Camarata needed those on his roller tire change

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yeah

[@bryanewing5058]

Congratulations on the second truck! That’s a good feeling knowing you have backup just in case. Plus you could hire a second guy if you wanted…or gal I guess. Lol.

[@robmosher362]

Very interesting video. It is nice seeing you build up your equipment and business. FYI, welding flash is not entertainment, however it could be a liability. Take care and looking forward to seeing more. We also like the fact that you do not have to have your face stuck in the camera lens as a lot of new sites do.

[@Farmall450]

You can't get welding flash through a camera...

[@masterhec0]

are you implying that your screen can produce the intensity required to give you arc flash? if so your completely wrong.

[@Farmall450]

@@masterhec0 He better be careful opening up a blank word document if that's the case

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice job David Looks good Happy New Year

[@AnomadAlaska]

I like that red dumpster. Red is my better half's favourite colour. And those fenders, seems like the ideal application for plastic! You've mentioned tire prices as a sidenote in several of your videos. For a guy who has almost no idea, what would an ideal set of 10 new tires for a rig like that in your area cost? Probably as much or more a you paid for the truck. I know my little dually cost over 1k for middle of the road Coopers.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

$2800 plus tax for just 8 tires. I put decent ones on but yeah the other truck runs everyday, this truck is just a back up.

[@jwilson5072]

that's a dam nice truck what a buy....

Happy New Year Dave. I do like the plastic fenders way better than metal, it`s most the pity that you guy`s have to put up with the salt tho

Salt definitely destroys everything

Are you removing the good rear tyres and putting on worn ones?

[@Dumpster_Dave]

There legal

[@AnomadAlaska]

I think he mentioned swapping the better/newer tires on this truck with some with more miles on them from another rig that get's used daily. Makes sense if this rig isn't going to see daily service in demanding conditions. Put the better tires on the better truck, was the thinking I took away from his comments.

[@fhwolthuis]

@@AnomadAlaska ah, I missed that, thanks

Why cut off those sassy old fenders? Some prep and paint and they were good for many more years 😂
