[@Beandiptheredneck]

I hope this thing finds its way to a local car show at some point. I'd love to see it in person

[@kentmckean6795]

I can feel for you, the Milwaukee battery powering the seat is genius when building, (probably not even a 12V battery in the truck at that time) anyone that thought you were serious simply doesn't have a sense of humor... FYI, I LOVE this project!!

[@LSandL31]

If there’s a will, there’s a way. And Rich, you’re getting it done!!

[@philgrimsey3637]

When it comes to mechanical stuff, if there's a Rich, there's a way 🤣

[@richard3141592638]

Rich - obviously you need to find more reasons to use a 12V Milwaukee battery in your builds - definitely somewhere on the cab-over, maybe make a fifth turbo (battery powered) for the Audi? C'mon Rich, you'll find a place. lol Keep up the good work

[@lwhite513]

Ya know, with enough of them he could just replace the main battery with a bank of those little guys and have some nice modular, expandable power 😅

[@aaronfletcher6664]

I'd say we get a Milwaukee wrap to put on the truck batteries just because

[@podunk9798]

I used to use a royobi battery to power up fuel pumps to drain fuel tanks at the scrapyard. Free gas, if you are brave.

[@richardallen1629]

Yeah, I think you could have popped one in somewhere totally inaccessible near the wiper motor to run that before it was all welded up. Don't forget to run a charge cable in so you don't have to keep taking it out. Sweet 👍

[@amandaborah7000]

First time comment here, in my 40yr career as mechanic I've worked with some very talented people but you my friend take the cake!! Very impressed with your talent and ability! Enjoy the videos and enjoy watching you fab stuff. God bless from Wisconsin.

[@xozindustries7451]

And here I thought using the m12 batteries to power the seats while the cab was off was pure genius

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Yes, but it was temporary!

[@pjbth]

@@DEBOSSGARAGE you should cut up one of those Milwaukee heated jackets and use the the batteries for heated seats!

[@barntech2291]

I think the most impressive part is that you are adding features instead of taking them away. There are lots of guys on YT doing engine swaps, but they end up with no wipers, no heat, no gauges, etc. Not Rich! He’s like, “let’s add an air compressor and improve the sound dampening.”

[@SI-lg2vp]

lot of effort to build a truck from scratch around a CAT engine. The time and effort is close to the purchase of new truck. I've done two restorations on cars and found each time that the cost was near the purchase of a new vehicle. Good luck on the project. Your humor is priceless.

[@johnstamper2965]

I just recently bought an obs f350 with a long bed, 4 doors and it's 4x4. It is a 7.3 5 speed with 80k original miles. Truck looks like brand new inside and out.

That cab will get tropical. Love the adhesive work, can't wait to see the rest on the K100.

[@danielanderson5221]

Great build! I love the attention to detail. I can't wait to see it pulling the enclosed trailer with a car in it. I'm curious to see how it handles the load and what the fuel mileage will be. Will it do better or worse than your Cummins 12 valve did? Your channel is the best thing on KZbin.

[@DeadReckon]

You really lose faith in your audience when they don't get a joke man. This truck is looking awesome.

[@hilljackzack7284]

Hell yes it is. 🤟🏼👌🏼

[@Ajswindowshelper]

Definitely leave the battery "hooked up" under the seat as a backup battery so you can still fire it up if the main battery dies 👌

[@moosey1978]

NGL I used a porter cable 20v battery to start my OBS with a dead battery the other weekend.

[@jimmyb1451]

For starters, using a cordless drill battery to power stuff while you work on it is clever AF. Also though, if ppl are so quick to crap on ya for something with the whole "You have no idea..." while simultaneously looking at all the other work involved in a project like this... they're not the kind of people you'd want around anyway.

I think some of us would know it's got a kitty under the hood just by the sound. Also, the 12v tool battery is a tool junk yard guys use to power things on for a short time....It's super handy to have in the yard tool box. I'm picturing Ford executives having a full meeting about the wiper motor..LOL Getting reassurance your work was quality stuff when the window guy said it's fitting as good as new was awesome...Great job!

[@user-cf8nr3qq2t]

It made sense that the "seat battery" had to be a joke when you consider the skill it takes to be able to do a job like this. The seat battery joke was so dry that it didn't come off like a joke, so I say you probably got a lot of people with that one. Masterful really!

[@fgialcgorge7392]

I build custom trucks and old 40's and 50's stuff, a little trick for seam sealer, if you want it to look nice run a line of painters tape on either side of the weld before you run your bead of seam sealer and you can smooth it out and kinda press it into and nooks and pinholes. Let it dry just a bit and pull the tape and you have really clean, crisp, uniform lines. It's one of those things you don't have to do in most cases but anyone who actually does notice will mention it and it just adds that little extra thought that goes into a custom rig that people are going to be looking at and being humans, looking for flaws.

[@anthonysgarage]

Damn Son. This is a monumental task. On a Ford of all things. I'll be following this.

[@larrydavidson3402]

I am always impressed watching someone try to handle most aspects of a build, its not easy but well worth it. Having fittings to plumb in all the systems of a vehicle can be challenging, let alone a supplier having them all in the first place.

I had that same t case on one of my trucks. The pump wears through the case and drains your oil. That happened to me. I had a large skid steer on a gooseneck and I got stuck in the snow so I put her in 4 low and let her eat. It smoked that case. But 4 wheel still worked flawlessly. Just had the chain jump a tooth every now and again. When I rebuilt it it was pure carnage on the Inside. Despite that it never actually quit working. I was at 400 horse when that all happened. Just a healthy tow tune.

i think that sometimes Rich's jokes sometimes fly over people's heads because most of us see him as a master mechanic, a man who has far excelled in his profession and has 25 years of experience with many a type of project, that anything and everything he says we just take as *the* concrete and absolute way to do something. so when he says "just replace that Milwaukee battery every 2 or 3 months and we'll be good to go lol", i wouldn't put it past people going, "really? well it's coming from him so i guess you can do that". love the vids, keep it up Rich!!

[@caveone-365]

Definitely always a pleasure to see some more progress on these progress Rich. Nitrous Express actually makes a battery holder/ socket now for using the Milwaukee batteries for auxillary power sourced items. PFI Speed actually has one and they're using it in one of they're AWD build boosted crx's. I believe it's being utilized to run the standalone but really the options are limitless. Long story short, sticking the Milwaukee batteries in where you can use them to test or power accessories easily is pretty damn smart IMO. They have such great capacity why not?!?!?! Dominion makes a great sealer. Used it MANY of times. It's a plus for you since it's made in Canada 😏
