My husband really, really, really wants you to put a curing and sealing agent on that concrete before you start leaking oil and other fluids on it. It makes clean up and sweeping a 1,000,000 times easier. It is the best $250.00 you will ever spend.

[@chris3m98]

For sure, I don't think he will do it. Seems like everything has to be a problem 1st.

[@davidj4662]

It’s a workshop not a hairdressers.

[@chattykathy870]

@@davidj4662 really, do you never sweep or clean a workshop? 🤔

[@captcarlos]

You echo my thoughts exactly! He drove that truck in there and I thought in order: 1- The first vehicle in the new shed.. (smile) 2- All the trusses aren't even up yet! 3- He is soo going to enjoy having this shed. 4- Oh No, Open Hydrolics leaking on the new concrete! ### disaster!! 5- I would seal, dry then White/off white 2 pack epoxy the entire floor. Good for a lifetime and wipe off any droppings.

[@davidj4662]

Kathy Carter Not a woman. So don’t care, sweep up once in a while is ok. I like it dirty. You know, manly,

[@charliecat536]

Cedar, one day you'll get your couch.

[@gardengatesopen]

Right! Prolly coulda had a couch for the price of that truck, even without the cool dump feature! I guess Heath doesn't think comfy couches are a priority. He never has time to sit on one!!

You missed something. She's got a man who loves her very much and is trying to furfill all her dreams. A wonderful family, a loving hard working husband, a big gorgeous farm, a home he built with his own two hands, a log cabin, a vegetable garden, steam house, farm animals etc. Not everyone wants and needs diamonds, rubys and new vehicles to make them happy. I sure don't, and never did. Cedar, your a lucky woman.

[@micahgahagan4282]

Angels Arrived ...did you not see the laughing face at the end of my response? It was a funny and I know Cedar sees it as that.

[@01inarow]

So... lots of fun projects.A yard full of trucks, a cabin, a shop and obviously a saint for a wife that still has cement floors but she now has the truck you wanted!One lucky man.😉

[@nolanbrown84]

"I had to." I'm with you Heath!! My wife totally makes me buy her MY favorite old vehicles as well!! 😂😂

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Maybe she did, I love old ford trucks. I stopped to see an old ford bronco one night but had talked myself out of it by the next day, my wife really loved it and wouldn’t drop it so we ended up buying it, everyone thinks I bought it and stuck her in it, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth

[@larryshafer8055]

OntarioRedneXXX women all have diff personalities & I am pretty;sure she does not want a 32 year old truck that will be in that shop part of the time

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Larry Shafer i don’t know that it’s what she would want per say, but I doubt she’s against it. It’ll certainly be one of the most reliable and capable things he could build her to get in and out of that place

@Yar Nunya Whats your point? The comment you replied to was about a jeep, not my fault you went off on some side bar. In case you haven't noticed, they don't but brand new vehicles. So who ever owns them now doesn't really matter, dingus...

[@myquest84]

When I first saw the truck I thought you bought it FOR the bed. Would have made a great wood, trash, rock, whatever hauling truck.

[@artisticboundaries]

I was thinking the same thing. More than practical!!!

[@fernarias]

I've driven one of those trucks. On the freeway, you can see the gas gauge actually move as it eats 1/10 of a gallon each mile. Whatever you saved will be spent filling that tank.

[@bishop9598]

I think I remember seeing 2 tanks. That makes it all better. :)

[@fernarias]

@@bishop9598 Yes, they definitely have two tanks. I picked one of these up and needed to drive 20 miles. It had only 1/4 tank (other was empty) and I was scared I'd run out of gas on the 710 freeway on my way to long beach airport.

[@marcryvon]

Yep, huge gas guzzlers. Dumb purchase as a "daily driver".

[@JamesThompson-ol3eu]

@@marcryvon maybe 6 miles to the gallon? or was that 6 gallons to the mile! I think that is the reason for the projected cummins swap.

[@andreawolfkill5322]

I thought Cedar was getting a nice brand new 4 wheel drive SUV for her birthday! You and my husband would be best of friends!

[@brettallenthomas]

Step 1, buy truck that's too perfect to pass up. Step 2, remove bed, remove running boards, remove axles, cut frame, redo dash, swap out seats and interior, redo paint job, swap out perfectly running engine... Step 3, convince wife it was the perfect truck to buy just for her...

[@lorrainemotter1903]

You might know this by now, but you really want to get your roof on the shop. The weather is changing fast for your area. Love the new truck, way to go Cedar!

[@pamelas9]

Let's see if I understand this episode. Didn't like the dump bed, duallys, engine, interior. That's a pretty expensive front axle.

[@Wilddaisyhomestead]

Hahahahaha good point.....

[@bretharrell9795]

I was about to make the same comment! He's going to replace everything!!! I guess when you have his level of expertise it's not that big of a deal.

[@coolthought8456]

You made a good point. i think he is sort of a fix-it-guy, he just have to get something that he has to work on. Besides, he mentioned the truck is clean and no rust. Probably after cost of the truck, these are the most important thing to him. Maybe also availability is limited in his area.

[@DK-jd8bj]

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

[@cynthiatx]

I wanted to see Cedar get something new to drive. But she’s a dutiful wife.

[@nieldcreek2098]

Looks like you bought you a truck not Cedar. She could sure use those nice steps you pulled of of there. Happy Birthday Cedar you got a new truck instead of a Jeep, and a pile of worthless shingles instead of a couch!!! 😁

Reminds me of a time (30 years ago) I bought my wife an expensive (1200.00) audio receiver for Christmas. I still vividly remember the look on her face.

[@jeremythomas1081]

I was so excited to see another Red Poppy Ranch video. As I browsed the comments, I was surprised. Cedar wants a Jeep, Heath bought a truck for himself, but gives to his wife. In this day and age of, how much debt can I afford. I commend Heath of thinking of other alternatives. As nice as a new Jeep, truck, or any other forum of self indulgent could be, in this time of uncertainty, it's a realistic option. The truck will be reliable; efficient, parts are vastly available, and easy to maintain. I like Red Poppy Ranch, for how they distance themselves, from debt, grocery stores, and all other forms of means that are nessasery, but choses to be self reliant, efficient, and puts that responsibility on themselves. Red Poppy Ranch's morals, values, determination, willingness, and motivation. Not as individuals, but as a family, husband, father, son, daughter, wife, mother, and all other forms of family. It is a rare sight, and I for one support them.

[@MrRedPelt]

That thing is a beauty. Sold my 88 ford ranger this week. So sad to see it go. But I paid 1900 for it and sold it for 2700. Ran it for 5 years without issues. Love older trucks!

[@hongman23]

or kept it for exactly that!

[@kimberly1567]

He had already budgeted what he could sell the dump bed for 3 seconds after seeing the truck lowering his total purchase price. Like you, I would definitely made a wood run or two and delayed my decision to sell or not sell. Same with running boards. They were easily removed in 30 min. I would have delayed their removal as well. If his concern was deep snow buildup on running boards he still could have delayed their removal another month. But I am 58 and would appreciate the help when entering the vehicle height

[@da1shark]

I bet it feels great being able to pull the truck into the shop and use a creeper to move around under it. I know gravel is hard on the back 😀. Once the shop is “in the dry” these projects will be easier on you. Looking forward to the shop build videos, you do a great job creating them.

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

Shoulda kept the dump mechanism!

[@cboody69]

I started cringing around 4:00 as he started slinging hot metal shavings at the Oxy-Acetylene and later, the fuel tank, haha. I know it is highly unlikely to do anything, but as a family man myself, you can never be too careful, Heath. Be safe, be blessed!

Was looking forward to more shop work, but this is just fine! We must come from the same genes, love Square bodies (on #5) and have a 85 Sub getting a 6BT. For the bed, unless you have to fill from both sides a crossover is easy, did that on a 77. I'm 62 and my wife does not get the building at all. Just watching you roll across the made me dream of my shop in the final planning stage. Never to many projects, keep it up.

[@grantlloyd23]

I have a 1989 GMC V35 same as this K30. Original red paint and only 4,257 miles on it. Just a bit up from the 1,760 when I bought it some years back. The dually works better in snow and mud though from my experience. The county's snow plows around me are all duallies with chains front and back. I am getting this ready for my move to ID. I'm keeping the 454 big block with twice the factory HP. Anyway when I find you stuck or broken down again I'll be able to tow you home :)

[@MrRDJEEP]

Build you a custom bed. The welds don’t have to be perfect. You can customize it however you want. Long or short, tall or flat, removable sides or fixed, all the attachment points for whatever you like. Plus it’ll look even cooler

[@Moosecop32]

As Im watching this video of a new old truck being brought in I couldn't help but think back to that old 85 F250 that brought me to your channel several years ago and how much has changed along the way since then.

[@nolanbrown84]

I guess it must just be me but I can't in a million years imagine cutting a long bed down into a short bed. I drove exclusively short beds for years after highschool until I got my first long bed and I'll never go back for any reason, any reason that I can think of right now anyway. The utilitarian advantage of a long bed far outweighs any disadvantage to me. Plus the look of a long bed is far more appealing to me nowadays. Of course this is only my opinion and as I've always stated, do with your iron as you see fit.

[@nieldcreek2098]

Absolutely agree. He plans to ruin a perfectly good truck. If he got it for a good deal then he should just sell it for a profit and get something that Cedar to drive that is more applicable to her without all the chopping. I really hate to buy something that the previous owner went through and changed everything. It makes future repairs and parts shopping a pain in the a_ _

[@gardengatesopen]

He's putting a short bed on it to prevent Cedar from carrying home that comfy couch she wants!! 🤣

[@DK-jd8bj]

I have one right now and I wish I had the short bed. A crew cab with a long bed is just way too long.

[@gardengatesopen]

As a female who has had quite a few pick up trucks, I give points to both sizes of beds. For transporting large items a long bed is definitely needed, however - parking it at ANY store is a bitch. We had one that also had our boat hitch sticking way out (a real shin catcher) but in parking lots, the back end stuck out close to 2 feet longer than all the other vehicles!!! Granted, this made it easy to locate in the parking lot! But if it were MY daily driver I would prefer a short bed - no contest! A short bed - ESPECIALLY a covered short bed - would be VERY convenient for picking up bulk shopping items, and carrying various kid's gear all over creation. Altho... That comfy couch still won't fit in a short bed... ...sigh... O! Unless it's a sectional and it could come home one piece at a time!!! No worries Cedar, there's ALWAYS a way!!! ♡♡♡

[@gardengatesopen]

@iBiana Doubt RIGHT! Good point!!!! Hang that red flag on it and HERE COMES THE NEW COUCH!!!! WhoooHoooooooo!!!! (Hubs will be at home working, Cedar can bring it herself!!)

[@Smalltownsteading]

I see what you are doing but a dump bed can really come in handy for many things. Gravel, dirt, and firewood just to name a few.

[@calebmoos7742]

Love those old square bodies. Once you get a 700 transmission and convert the axle it’s going to be such a comfortable driver.

[@joelongrid7625]

I wish I had half od the mechanical skill you have. I'm pretty good with wood and am a Master Electrician but working on vehicles like you do is a special skill. Nice catch.

[@janicehales2958]

Hey Heath, I’m not sure which you enjoy more: building structures or older Chevy trucks.

[@juliesummerfield9784]

I highly recomment a concrete sealer on your slab. On a new slab, you have to wait for concrete to fully cure a few weeks before you can do it It's so hard to wait and so hard to keep slab cleaned off that long too. We didn't seal ours but we wish we would have.

[@nimblybimbly4002]

TRUE STORY. I'm a woman who gets precognition from time to time. I had a vision decades ago about being in a car accident. I think it was 1984. I could see bits and pieces of what was going to happen. From the impact, their was blackness, and it jumped time and distance. I saw people I knew standing around a hospital bed. I was peering out from that body lying in the hospital bed. I interpreted it, as it had to be me. At the time I was driving a clunker.. But due to the fact, I didn't think I was going to make it out alive, and he wanted a truck for towing. But didn't want to spend any money. He changed his mind quickly. As I have had precognition before, and they ALL came true. He went to a dealership and purchased a brand new Ram Charger truck right from the lot. Three weeks later, the vision I had, materialized. I saw the vehicle getting off the highway like in the vision and about to hit me as I had just opened my parked car door to get out. I quickly let go of the door and grabbed the steering wheel with all my might. The woman driving had lost control of her vehicle, and totalled her car UNDER my spanking new truck. I was safe. They had to lift my truck up, to get her vehicle out from under. That same exact day, a friend of mine was hit and run down crossing a street 60 miles away. It was her eyes I was piercing out of. Sadly she died that night. Bless your soul, I've never forgotten you. So, fix that truck up so she can be safe this winter. Were in for some mighty wild winter weather this year.

Can you get a lifetime guarantee for Linex. Think bout it, no rusting issues - no dents - no washing - your giving the metal many layers of protection. Linex is way better then that crap rhino liner. It’s WAY less expensive then any paint job and will last like forever. Think of it as wife and kid proofing your trucks. Congratulations & Enjoy your truck. Thank you for your time putting these videos together. One more the bout the Cummings- ever consider an L8 Cummings. That l8 is a beast w/o the egr missions crap

I just have to ask ... is there anything you cannot do?! Your family is so fortunate in having a husband/dad who not only ‘can do’ but who also can share his knowledge/skills with the next generation.

The dual wheels also allow a significant additional load to be carried. I have them on my 4 x 4 sprinter motorhome van conversion and they are a pain in the butt, but there was no way that the single wheels could legally cope with the conversion load. Having said that a large amount of the conversion weight is in the 4 x 4 component.

Like the single rear wheel idea but I'd definitely keep the long bed. Way more functional. Hauling loads way easy in long bed and towing trailers.

[@shephusted2714]

dualies do fine if they have chains - it looks like a nice rig - you have tow options now if she will let you borrow it once in a while - you need to finish the trusses and get that part of the job done - then you have the gravy work of getting it really ready for winter which comes early for you - basically you are on track - now you have more vehicles to maintain

[@shephusted2714]

that truck need reg pm is all - don't do anything to it just drive it - you don't want a diesel - unneeded, dirtier, heavier, more expensive, worse in the winter - enough is going to break on it anyways without having to go the extra mile - cheap junkyard parts to the rescue

[@quinnlesley10]

[@ABC-oo4vm]

If RPR roads are as nasty as they say, then a truck with tracks on it should be in order. Imagine riding into town through mud - snow an automobile with tracks. We did it in Williston, North Dakota on the oilfield. That sure was some nasty roads up there. But we NEVER got stuck.

Don't see the logic in wasting a good dump truck that would save a ranch or farm by having the options of a heavy duty truck, with dual wheels and a great dump bed to whittle down to a short bed with limited use.

They live an area that commonly gets 4-8 foot of snow during winter every year. He went over that in the video. Dual-Wheel trucks are poor at snow driving. Needs single wheel with a lift kit and offroad tires.

That truck was perfect the way it was with that dump bed. Hurt to see you destroy it. adding a cummins would have been the best. YIKES

Nice truck, one day she will be winching you out of a ditch with it. Good thinking. 👍

I have a 1991 K5 that needs quite a bit of body work (I have all of the necessary parts), but I'd definitely sell it for a crew cab k30 even though I live in an urban area with nowhere to park it. I've got a 2000 K3500 regular cab GMC that fits on the street quite nicely.
