The C3500HD is an impressive truck once you get by that body lift piece in the front. They are built to be strong and somewhat simple. The 454 is a great engine, and if rebuilt, it I think it would serve you well. I own a C3500HD with an 8.1 and a C3500 with a 454. These are great trucks to own and can serve their owners well. Congratulations on buying a beautiful roll back.

They are poop. I owned one. 6.5 turbo diesel was horrific. Worst in the 6.0 Ford transmission the rear end. I had a 1999. The early ones were bending frames. That's why you see the big reinforcement in there I think they started in 97 or 98.

6.5 was a dog. We had one 6.5, and it was in the boss's wrecker. His truck was actually built for a NASCAR track and still had the fancy paint job. The diesel had "work done" so you had to watch the EGT's and not many people were allowed to drive it. I was one of the lucky ones to take it out occasionally and I can absolutely testify that a good running, well maintained low mileage 6.5 with "work done" is an absolute dog when compared to my well abused 275,000 mile 8.1.

You are going to love having a Rollback. A friend of mine has one on a big Freightliner that he has pretty much worn out over the last 25 years. Used it for everything. While you have it torn down, you might as well do it right and fix everything you find wrong or you will be redoing a bunch of work. Amazing that it isn't rougher than it is with that many miles on it. Hope the stinger doesn't have to much wrong with it because they are very handy. Probably won't be using the wrecker as much once you get used to running this.

Ok 56. Cab idea is Awesome . Also for emergency bent valve fix . Get a 3lb slide hammer , the adapter that fit locking pliers and a piece of line that fits valve stem snuggly . Air to cyl, remove spring ,slide line on stem clamp locking pliers use slide hammer to bring valve to seat multiple times until straight /sealed . Some brake clean and lube will help. It's a bandaid fix but I've used it many times for folks who couldn't afford the valve replacement at the time. 60% of the time it works everytime .

Hey Mortske! Hopefully, you havent put this thing back together yet... I just wanted to let you know to at least pressure test those injectors to make sure they arent leaking. It seems to be kind of a high failure rate on the 454 Vortec rigs and i feel like that may be the reason for the extended crank and need to open the throttle to get her to light off. Ideally you would want to have them bench tested after the extended ethanol bath. But if you can pressure test the rail, make sure it holds pressure after you turn the pump off and there isn't any fuel dripping out of the injector tips, it may save you from having to pull the plenum twice ;)

@Mr_MortskeRepair..... Such a good, sustained effort…. I/we sincerely appreciate it… maybe I have to buy one of the those magical scraper dealys! The junkyards, visits to Puddin’, the auctions, the shade-tree work, all different sides of the same, excellent…. er, cube, I guess. I hope you’re remembering to enjoy the journey. I forget all the time, like the moron I am. Today, I shall not. Steve

Of all projects this rollback seems the most worthy of spending time and $money on it'll always have value.

The only difference between the vortec and the older Chevy engines is the vortec has a 60° angle instead of 45° which makes for a more narrow intake.

I had a lawnmower that came back to me like that seat did to you. My mom originally purchased this mower new, but it never ran right, so she hated it and eventually gave it away. It went through three more owners over the years that gave it away because they couldn't get it to run right. It eventually ended up sitting in the back yard of a guy I knew for a few years after it quit running. He eventually gave up on it and gave it to me when he moved. I got it about ten years after my mom gave it away. I put an $8 Chinese carb on it and made some minor tweaks, and it runs perfectly now.

Cruizing through several of your videos while I’m down after double fusion spinal surgery last Monday. Between you, my feller Okie Puddin, PoleBarn, Derek, CW’s Garage, Ugly Truck Experience, and a few select other. Y’all are keeping me sane from the pain. So for that in itself, I appreciate you, Duff, and Mojo. Keep up the great work, plan to order up some merch soon! My cousin is about to whiskey-dent his 05 3/4 8.1 the rest of the way into the ground. Drivetrain all solid and strong. Not ridiculous miles. I’ll reach out if it becomes available. I had eyed it for one of my 3 K5s but I think I’m gonna 5.3 the sentimental ‘88 (mom has ‘04 burb with 140k and is ready for something different); Cummins the nicely redone M1009: and keep the roughest old school one (‘79) the carbed 350. Good alternative for those tubs are restaurant table bussing tubs from restaurant supply store(can find used sometimes). Also look for stainless buffet pans while you’re at it. Hella Handy for around the shop. The real big ones will nearly fully self contain most trans pan drops. Sam’s club (Oklahoma/Arkansas’ answer to Costco) has bus bin packs for decent price. I buy their cheap acrylic cutting boards for leather work. Or deck-le cutouts etc. Super cheap alternative to the bins you showed are just “dishwashing bins” from Walmart near the dishracks. Even cheaper at the Dollar Gentral or Dollar Tree-Fiddy. Idk up y’all about north but here in Oklahoma they’re popping up Dollar Gentrals in every little one horse town. It’s dang near dirtwork to check your own self out in just a couple months. Pure crazy. Walmart ran the little man down and out and, now DG and Family Dollar/Dollar Tree Fiddy is coming in where everything dried up. Business is weird. I’m rambling now lol. Good meds. I can smell all the colors of the moon. But I always like finding handy things for around the shop and sharing to others. Y’all be well! -Lance

I do have to agree man. I had a 89 Silverado that I was handed down from my grandfather to have. That's thin bench that was so comfortable and after two hundred and fifty thousand miles just had one tiny tear

The passenger door handle is the original for a C3500HD 1.5ton, driver side handle has either been converted to a 1500-3500(half,3/4,1ton) or the door has been replaced, as they use different linkages inside the door.

Buying a project is always fun. It doesn't look too bad shape for the year. I just picked up a 02 f250 ex cab V10 4x4 auto for 500. Runs and drives the only thing that doesn't work is the AC. It needs brake lines, a fuel line, tires, muffler battery and new manifold gaskets. It's rusty the bed is shot but for 500 couldn't pass it up especially it being a 3/4 ton. I do wish it was the 7.3 but oh well.

28:20 they seem to all be called drywall carriers on the jungle site, but they're like 2 for $20, and the single ones are all red and they are from $12 to $15 so might as well get the two pack for $20 because you know you're gonna break the first one. Metal ones seem to start around $26 but they're shorter, which for body panels might actually be a good thing.
