I was lucky enough to get a personalized tour of the new Freightliner plant in Mt. Holly, N. C. in the early 1980’s. It was amazing to see the frame rails brought in, computer control punched with every hole in one lick, everything put together and literally driven out the other end of the building. What an eye opener it was. The whole place was cleaner than clean. Great job on a great build Jonathan.

👍👌👏 Quite an impressive job, Sir (again and as always)! You have been kind of rewarded by the fact, that nearly everything fitted well (drive shaft, most of the holes in the frame, etc.). I'm happy to see that at last you are building yourself the rollback bed truck you always wanted respectively fits your needs best. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you. Post Scriptum: I will definitely check out the channel you recommended.

Sometimes, simply taking the time to have a cup of coffee while sitting/looking/thinking, and applying a little common sense can make all the difference in the outcome of a task. Nicely done Kemosabe. Of course, a cat scan helps a bit too.

Love watching your work, Jonathan. Like you, I am an avid DT360/466 person--only difference is that I play with school buses. My first bus I swapped a DTA360 into (from a 7.3IDI) and made it a 5 and 4 twin stick. Just like you, I'm building em to my spec!

I used to drive one of those DT466 IH's in college delivering appliances for Sears. 24' box. Smooth Ride, not too noisy, always started, never broke down with one in 3 years driving 200-300 miles a day every weekend, break, and full time in the summer. Those things are beasts, ours were sprint trucks so low geared, 65mph max on the highway, but they got up and went in the city, we would do anywhere from 17-31 stops a day, depending on the season. Great turning radius too. Never had an issue with them, great trucks, and always went straight down the highway. You're gonna love the extra weight capacity!!

Know those wheels well. Have the gear wrench for those stud's. Only unit I have left is a split rim style. F600 winch truck.1961. Yrs and yrs ago it had a tank on it and it suck the car washes out in those days. They took a rod out of the truck. So it was bought and turned into a winch truck with gin poles. Funny never had a problem with the truck or the motor. Plus it's has not ever let me down. One time gen light went out luckily made it to the shop. Great video 👍

When you shorten the frame does that change the GVW? I know you gain extra capacity based on the weight removed from the tail, but does it go up more based on the shorter wheel base?
