How to Install A Food Truck Window

[@mr.theking9501]

Frank I’m in the beginning stage of my food truck dream. Planning. Hopefully i can get some very much needed information from. Videos are already super helpful

[@hollybritton7255]

Thank you, your a great teacher. I want to put concession window in an old camper that'll just stay at cabin.

[@joemac262]

This is super beneficial thanks for the videos, I'm working on a food truck now it's a lil different but yours videos help tremendously. Thanks

[@fbaltierrez]

Very cool!!!! Let me know if you have any questions

[@federicosalinas8839]

Yo frank been following your tube channel for a bit now. I got my electrical done now I’m cutting the window soon

[@fbaltierrez]

There we go!!!! I was doing the electrical but it got too hot and decided to cut window :)

[@federicosalinas8839]

The only thing I didn’t do my self was the electrical work. Did the Plumbing , hung up the vent and ss wall, hood and mounted the extractor almost done. Gonna knock out the suppression system as well. Can’t wait for it to be done. Seems like it’s taken a lot of more time then I expected

[@julianabrag6641]

Frank, I would like to say that your video on Installing A Food Truck Window is by far the best one out there period. I'm at the moment with my trailer in getting my plans approved stage and have got many of your videos to count on.. Thanks..

[@fbaltierrez]

Love to hear that!!!! 👍

[@LinktheLegend]

What an awesome video!! I’ve watched almost all of his videos and there all so helpful! Thanks so much

[@PitmasterHeavi]

I appreciate your advice on building your food trailer and I've used your knowledge on putting in my floor. Now I'm going to start on my wall but could use some advice on it. By the way it's a used food trailer and I've been trying to add new interior to it. I would like to send you pictures of it and give me advice on building my walls

[@fbaltierrez]

Appreciate that feedback. You can Rollingburritosfoodtruck@gmail, just want to be upfront tho. All my trailers have always had the walls built I have never had to build a wall for them, but they can be built

[@rickprocure6321]

Watching this gave me confidence that I can do this. Now I just need to learn how to do a door, the county I am in require 2 doors

[@fbaltierrez]

Appreciate that feedback. The back door would count as 1 and the side as 2. Unless you have a different kind of trailer

[@MauryFF]

Amazing work! Can you put a link of where you bought the window?

[@fbaltierrez]

There is no link for window they are per order. It's a company called JR Aluminum in Ohio.

[@MauryFF]

@@fbaltierrez Thanks for the info!

[@Q66BBQ]

Great videos bro

[@marcelsmith2942]

Hello, I'm trying to prepare to cut my trailer for my window. However, I'm a little confused. Do I measure from screw to screw on the outside or from the inside, and if it is from the inside, where do I start. I called j&r aluminum, and they advised me that the lip of the window was 1 1/2 all the way around. Do I have to take off 1 1/2 : on both sides and the top and bottom

[@fbaltierrez]

Yes measurements to cut go from inside to inside. With 1.5 extra on all sides

[@jimhatch5873]

Frank, is there a reason you didn't add sleeper studs and a new header at the top of the window space when you cut out the steel wall studs? Doesn't leaving the studs unsupported through the window area leave the roof less supported and prone to flexing? If I were doing this in a house I would frame around the window with a new header and sill with additional studs attached at either end. I would expect it would be just as important or more that the roof is supported, especially since we'll be driving these down the road & flexing all around.

[@fbaltierrez]

No need. This way of putting the studs in between the steel studs works wonderfully. No issues at all and no leaks

[@jimhatch5873]

@@fbaltierrez Thanks. I wasn't as concerned with leaking as with structural rigidity. It looks like you're relying on the 1x1 spacers screwed to the interior plywood wall to provide sidewall support. Since they're not resting and connected to the steel side ribs I wouldn't expect the load transfer from the roof to be as strong as if you used a true header and framing approach. I expect I'll do a steel tube frame welded to the ends of the cutoff ribs to provide vertical and horizontal load transfer to the trailer frame when I do mine. I will be following your lead on some of the other parts of your build for flooring & electrical. I'll probably go with FRP panels for the walls though.

[@fbaltierrez]

@@jimhatch5873 that actually wouldn't be a bad idea welding that.

[@tjjohns9]

So just making sure, did you screw the windows into the 1x1s?

[@fbaltierrez]

Into the metal trailer studs, 1x1 are just for added support, the rest all metal

[@kayleaconnell2546]

How much of a clearance would you advise on width my ro opening is 70 1/2 would 70 3/8 suffice? Don’t want to to twist and bind? Should I go with 70 1/4?

[@fbaltierrez]

Either one works I haven't seen any issue with twist and bind being close to the measurement required

[@melissabibb7100]

Have you had any stability issues with removing that steel from the window and replacing with wood?

[@fbaltierrez]

O issues and my truck has been on the road for about 2 years now

[@vincentdelacruz2874]

Awesome I stall video, does the window have a rubber gasket or did you use silicone where the lip meets the edge.? I saw you add the silicone after.

[@fbaltierrez]

Yes window has a rubber gasket but I also wanted to add silicone for extra protection

[@Pocodetodorisa]

[@fbaltierrez]

[@juangonzaleznieves1813]

Could you have cut the stainless steel part from the inside out or it has to be from the outside in? Thank you

What are the dimensions of your concession window? I know you mentioned 77 for the width but I’m curious for the height? Thanks.

[@bgorrell]

Fantastic video series - we are totally loving all of them! Where did you buy the actual concession window and how much did it cost you?

[@fbaltierrez]

JR Aluminum in Dundee OH about 1,200

[@bgorrell]

@@fbaltierrez Thank you!!

[@ozilnajafi3029]

I wish I will able to one of these...

[@fbaltierrez]

You got this!!!! Pretty simple install just a bit of hard labor

[@steveluepke9654]

Just one question. Should one silicone under the outside lip of the window and then screw the frame to the trailer. That would insure a complete seal. Just curious.

[@mikehernandez1826]

Is it possible to start from the outside first yo cut

[@jharris3429]

Does it matter what side to put the window?

[@fbaltierrez]

Usually they are on the passenger side the curb side

How did you buy the window? I am confused
