“ Two chains on the back - well it is one chain that identifies as 2 …. Classic!! Thank you keep up the great work and commentary.

[@brianherron5400]

People are funny. They think they know but don't. Have a great evening JC.

[@lawrenceashworth7668]

I really look forward to your videos this time of year. I can’t do a whole lot where I’m disabled in this cold weather so I spend a lot of rainy cold days watching videos and yours are some of my favorite! Keep the content coming!

[@rirebel6029]

Can't ask for a truck to start any better than that in cold weather !

[@ydocproductions5593]

It’s a great roll back for certain situations which I’m sure is really handy to have a round. It’s in really great shape for being over 20 years old. I think adding tool boxes underneath would be a great addition👍

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i just need to make the time to do the work.

[@cic-jakevanddalgeemyers.2739]

We believe you, JC. you know how our country is; too many know littles knows too much. That's the price we have in this country....

[@gliderider7077]

I would say, you are one amazing mechanic, if you said I needed new muffler bearings…well I’d send my wife to pick up new muffler bearings then.

[@towuniverse2443]

Nice rig. My kw is 25 ft. Them long beds are awesome

[@jordanbigg34]

Great vid as always! I appreciate all of your CDL knowledge and advice, working for a municipality/utility it seems that we get away with a good bit more than you private guys when it comes to CDL laws. But knowledge about how to get the right set up and doing things the right way ain’t never hurt nobody.

[@wazzazone]

Once again thank you JC

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video J.C.Smith looking forward to your next video stay safe J.C.Smith.

[@eddiepatterson5025]

Do what repairs are needed as you drive it to you get to the point where you can get your other rollback built and going then do all the upgrades you want to suit your needs.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Looks as if the ol' blue girl needs some TLC. This reliable truck definitely deserves it. Best regards luck and health in particular.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

I understand where you're at. I need to build my other rollback so I can pull the brown truck apart and fix things that should have already been addressed. 🔧

[@garyclemons1129]

I'm surprised that you're having somebody else put a motor in for you Keep up the good work

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i ended up selling them the truck.

[@hollandduck79]

hello from the Netherlands . just let those people do it JC some people don't believe you no matter what you say or do . nice looking transport clip . thanks for the video JC . Sincerely Hollandduck

[@Ezrider359]

I'm right there with you on I'd prefer 32k gvrw single axle with air brakes. Under cdl is nice for resale that's about it to me.

[@CA-fn1wg]

A it all starts with clean it up and get some use out of it, then the that would be nice and this will be handy upgrades come in and stay in the mind 😁. Those two fuses in the battery box are common issues on that style truck seen the fuses just pop in the fender fuse box after they just get old? Like ih installed timed fuses. What we do at the International dealer replace the blown fuse spend 10 mins checking for the bad spot if the function was still going after 10 mins the fuse timer whent. Well that was the joke. seen alot of that type things on that style truck

[@ernestbrothers1298]

Sometimes it is just that simple as a fuse. Nice job of meeting 4 point tie down. Well 5 with bridal and winch. Ok you bought used truck with issues. Either you find time to fix or build new if you find chassis you want. Yes bunch of little stuff adds up to not today.

[@gregstowing9294]

We are thinking about an international for our next rollback possibly

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i like international trucks. mostly because i have a great dealer who is always willing to go the extra mile for me. however, i wont buy anything with a maxxforce engine. love you and your dad working together in the videos.

[@slngblde]

One like that would be about perfect for what I plan to start this summer or early next year. I will be doing what you do but with old ford cars and trucks, plus fox body mustangs.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

most people hauling cars and light trucks prefer 21ft or 19.5ft beds. this one isnt quite as easy to get into places. it doesnt bother me. my longest rollback is 30ft and has a gvwr of 80,000lbs.

[@bretmartin2826]

Hey JC. I’m getting ready to do a rear hub seal. I was going to use what procedure they say. 60-70 ft lb. Back of five clicks for new bearing or seven for old bearing. Some telling me if I do the procedure. The hub nut would back off. I’m using a new nut. How would you recommend tightening the nut . It’s on an 03 f250

[@jtequipmentsalesjohn2072]

Yes it is crazy the things we have to go through to play the cdl game! Do they ever give you a fit at the scales if you cross state lines? Here if you are in the furtherance of your business and cross state lines over 10k gvw you beter have dot#, under 26k gvw just saves on a log book!! Thanks for sharing the video!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

not any scales around me. there are exceptions to that.

[@ptaszek1983]

Make the improvements as you need and still keep the truck operational 👍. Sounds good to me.

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Jc I would guess the parts truck putting in engine going to build it at some point these days with prices worth fixing resale value way up and no Def if diesel I heard Sheetz lowering diesel 50cents gallon though end of January at least in PA they are

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i like this truck and the yellow one as they are non emissions engines. both are good trucks to improve upon and or build.

[@mack_titan]

Hi there, I need your help. Net-net, I'm looking for a truck that has the tall hood stance( for an toterhome project). For example, Mack Titan is one. Are there any other trucks there that are taller than Titan(at the front end hood level)? Net-net, looking for the largest and the tallest grill other than oshkosh military truck which does not go at highway speeds.

[@regtimmins1944]

What about the truck from yesterday's post the one you pulled and sold the box and liftgate from turning it into a roll back

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i used por 15 a few years ago. it was expensive and it didnt work as well as i thought it should for how much they boast about it. i will "paint" the two mating sides with grease. this will slow down the rust and help seal out the salt and brine solution.

[@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147]

I didn't know that made rollback that size was non CDL

[@j.c.smithprojects]

not very common at all. especially with 19.5" tires. usually a 26 ft bed would be on a 32,000lb gvwr chassis with 22.5 tires

[@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147]

@@j.c.smithprojects ok, wishing I get my CDL for mechanic reasons for our company. But with having to do the school now and none near me makes it hard. Had my permit 3 times and just never got around taking driving test

[@j.c.smithprojects]

that stinks. lots of people in that same situation. the cost of the school plus the amount of time it takes away from you job and income is tough to overcome.

[@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147]

@@j.c.smithprojects yep. But I will figure everything out.

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Why did you farm the engine out?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

after a little back and forth.....they ended up buying the truck.

[@scubasteve7946]

Maybe you'll come across a heavier truck with the specs you like that you can get fixed up then swap over the bed one week from the blue truck. Or trade straight across from some guy who bought too heavy of a rollback and just got popped for no CDL and he's selling it 🤣👍

[@j.c.smithprojects]

im always looking at rollbacks to buy...have 5 now and dont need any more but boy there is just something about rollbacks and wreckers.

[@norwaybusgystad6025]

hello to you about the project overkill why don't you take the rollback bed on the project overkill? i like what you do ladle if we don't have so many american loading images in norway then i like what you do i learn part of what you build.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

overkill is far too short of a cab to axle measurement for this but i do have several other more suitable chassis i could put it on. just need the time.

[@norwaybusgystad6025]

@@j.c.smithprojects i see 😊😊

[@hornconstruction1393]

built another and shorten this one for a dump ?

i have considered that many times. pto is already there....its easy enough to do for sure.

Gentry and son had a big fire burned up the shop a lot of stuff got torched that probably in the market for some engines and tires maybe you could help out a you tuber like yourself

[@j.c.smithprojects]

sounds good. let me know what you want to do for them and we could do it together.

[@braaapattack2937]

First! Hey jc

[@cesmith4566]

Don't make that truck too nice, someone will want to buy it and you will sell it!

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i had a guy hound me to sell it to him for 3 months.....its still here!

[@TravisTucker-k4r]

Put aNUTHER motor in it …

[@larrybe2900]

JC, must you be concerned about weight and CDL for what you do? You travel for yourself. You do not haul for others.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

im not concerned about either. prefer a 32,000lb gvwr so i can use the bed to its capacity.
