PICKING UP 3 AND 1/4 AUCTION TRUCKS AND OTHER BUYS!

[@WatchWesWork]

You can't help but smile at that little truck!

[@markgerver3610]

Ha wesgood day

[@stevencox75]

watching you work here as well

[@cmh2111]

Get to work. There's plow trucks to fix.

[@brianherron5400]

Nice purchases, like the mini truck your wife is going to have a blast with it. Have a great evening.

[@darrellroeters4951]

Like 1/4 truck, wife knows a buy. A wife that details cabs deserves a treat.

[@ergotot45]

You two are both so understated.........love it and makes me chuckle

[@briananderinlarson5318]

That blue truck may be a good place to put your old red international front on? Low mileage, good motor, air brakes.

[@lklekas]

Nice for a change to watch you guys work,no drama etc.Neat little truck.I bet you guys will use the heck out of it.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Excellent buys JC. The 1/4 truck would be very cool with a little diesel. That 3 cyl you have, or a refer engine. The truck is cuter than a bugs ear !!! The bed Justin wants is a touch sparse on crossmembers, but looks like the decking is substantial. Box on the blue truck is a nice one! Those closed center, load sense hydraulic pumps are large! They don't take a lack of oil well. The price you pay is no ones business. Except for the detail lady. Same with sale price.

[@radarmike6713]

Putting that 10ft bed on the sleeper international and spending it for a hot shot would sell pretty fast I think. It's a market/driving sector that is taking of like crazy. I recently started prepping to leave the moving company and go OTR. Bought a 2001 9900i. Single owner. Has an N14 red top Cummins, 435 HP with an Rato Fuller 13spd. Jakes, 240" Wheel Base. 3.73 ratio. 22.5 on aluminum Buds. Air sld 5th. 300gal aluminum tanks. 50"flat top sleeper. Full frame sand blast and frame and body repaint 3yrs ago. He only runs summer time since then. Has 1.36million on the clock. But was FULL (paper proving) in frame at 1.05 million miles. So it has just over 350 000 on the rebuild. Doesn't leak, burn oil. No blow by. Took it to 2 separate shops (local international AND Peterbilt shops before I bought it. Only needed air ride leveler and rear rubber. I know it's not 100% ideal for otr van trailers. But the original owner (67urs old) had us move him to their newly built retirement home, and was retiring. Sold me the truck for $36,500. Was asking $40 000. But knew I was interested. Offered 10k deposit to secure time to set up my finances/financing. As I have a wife and 2 kids under 10. And I've been less than half my hours At the moving company I manage as COVID is destroying moving and delivery work round here. So I didn't have to start without a running capital after buying the Truck. I'm gonna lease onto a company for now. But will be getting my authority after 2yrs experience to get my insurance down when I do have my authority. It's different how they insure up here in Ontario. Anyway. I watched your videos and wanna thank you for all the little tips I've learnt to look at/for to know if it's decent enough truck. I think I got a GREAT started truck at a great price.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

good luck with your new adventure. well cared for, one owner trucks are getting rare. most people seem to want to keep them much longer now. especially if they are pre emission trucks.

[@exploringpeco]

Also mini truck should have lockers on some of them and they go places more then most 4x4s so enjoy lady and glad you are getting your fix....lol 😆

[@ydocproductions5593]

That small Mitsubishi is so cool. What a perfect for a little “farm rig” to have around the property. I’d like to see that dump bed get restored sometime. It sure has a lot of potential.

[@localcrew]

That blue dump truck is a turd that can be polished! Love the DT466. Wish my old International had one.

[@stevencowan5599]

You got a great collection there JC cheers Steve

[@stkrrauch1]

nice you bought your wife the mini truck its sweet

[@worthshop]

I love truck auctions. Thanks for sharing jc

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

Most the mini trucks I've seen use upgraded atv wheels/tires. My guess is the bolt pattern would be 4x110 and if you go that route I would suggest 12 inch wheels because the tire options are way better.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Glad to see the "new" rollback is already earning its keep 🙂👍

[@j.c.smithprojects]

never unhappy to have a little rollback around! you know how handy they are.

[@billspeck5593]

Cute little popcorn popper pick up for Mrs. Smith is perfect!! Are we gonna see it in pink with flower power deco? 😁

[@j.c.smithprojects]

doubt the pink. Tennessee orange, wv blue and gold, or camo. if it were mine it would be extreme green and black or all black with chrome.

[@whitetailfox1]

I'm with her that mini kei truck is super cool

[@greggb1416]

I think you will get your money back out of that dump truck..., I was kinda worried that that roll-back was gonna pop a wheelie..., hahaha..., but I know you had to load it in that configuration, with the “cute” 1/4 truck...

[@waynedunne4507]

Mate you should have called me. I would have done a better deal on all. Would have cost you twice as much ! How about putting that tray onto the Mitsubishi ? Nice reversing there Mrs JC. Keep an eye on JC in case your Mitsubishi engine goes missing and then replaced with that Yanmar he mentioned. Dual turbos, sleeper and monster tyres should finish it. Cheers

[@bigredracer7848]

hi JC thanks for sharing

[@robertironside3166]

Missing the welding and build vids [must be the time of year right?]. :-)) That little truck will be a cute shuttle craft for Mrs. SMith fo sho!

Atv tires and rims, some are even dot rated. Super traction.

[@peewee.3138]

You could almost put ATV tires on the Mitsubitchi!

[@coop_coop007]

We used to call the little Japanese trucks 'Puddle Jumpers'.

[@carloselizondo7671]

They haul some real freight with those little trucks in Asia.

[@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404]

You got a side by side without paying the price of a side by side. 😆

[@jpsgarage2020]

Im excited to get the bed and see it on the Freightliner.

[@joetrippi1603]

Mini truck looks like a whole lot of fun

[@michaelmcclure8673]

You can get some nice rims and tires for that mini truck. We had one at the yard, just can't load tall heavy stuff.

[@newjerseybill3521]

For a salt spreader / plow truck, the blue IH is in surprisingly good shape.

[@geno3991]

Great video!!!

[@jerrybailey5879]

I see why your wife wanted the mini truck. I would like to have it to.

[@thomasmarti5856]

There is a guy here in OKC that drives a Mitsu like that .I forgot what he uses it for but i do see it a good bit :) Mrs. JC can haul a lot of cookies with it lol :)

[@thomasmarti5856]

some snicker-doodles please?

[@haroldphipps3457]

@@thomasmarti5856 you just hit my favorite cookie of all time!

[@morgansword]

I paused here at 10:00, is that a plow blade cylinder for raising the blade?? , I was thinking or surmising as to would it work for the popular wood splitter? Its small so wouldn't be so dang heavy like some splitters get to be. I don't know what its like in the states continental anymore as its thirty plus years later but with so many different tire sizes, there just seems to be a tire made just for everything made that rolls on rubber. I liked those nineteen fives on the swamp buggies up here made from any year and old junk attached to it. Over the years I am just not surprised anymore

[@NathanRobinson81]

On the mini truck.

[@NathanRobinson81]

four wheeler rims look like they would fit.

Mini truck very popular on my island all farmers use them

[@Bore_Punch]

We use those mini trucks at work. Only bad thing about them is sometimes parts are hard to find and you have to order them directly from china

[@darrellroeters4951]

Mitsubishi is Japanese

[@b1g1lz]

The Mitsi needs quad bike wheels all round to go off road

[@catdaddy3407]

I really like that little truck that is pretty cool surprised you don'y have your super nice F150 in the garage instead of out in the weather another great video

we were dog sitting and built a heated "pupominium" in the garage. it will be back in there soon.

@15:25 Can you show how you did the tie off of your strap. Never seen that done that way before.

[@haroldphipps3457]

Agree !!

[@amsimons29]

My brother has a couple of those mini trucks and he puts off rd golf cart tires and wheels on them and they go good in the snow

[@staglione79]

It looks like you got some good stuff J.C. I wonder if you could put utv wheels & tires on the little guy?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i think they would work.

[@keeganpock864]

Kei trucks are sweet!

[@CaptKirk1701]

Turn that black truck into a rollback with a sleeper and you can go further to pickup vehicles with it?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

there is a step deck trailer down your way i have been looking at. sure would make things easier on me.

[@jasontaylor7837]

That flat bed is sweet would look great on one of the f700

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the heavy rollback should be on a tandem to use it to its intended purpose.

[@MrGommer101]

What would be an upgrade to the bed rails sliding / rolling on something other than the wood ? I would think a nylon ?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

this design calls for a hard wood. i dont know the reasoning. i have thought about many times and still come up with, "it must be a cost saving thing".

[@Blackxs93]

My old boss had a small truck like that and we used it as a service truck with a 24/12 volt booster system it work gtreat except for a big guy like me lol

[@Jim0i0]

Nice haul!

[@ParadigmShark]

A lot of people swap the tires on those mini trucks for side by side tires

[@teebugg66]

I was thinking you should put that Loadstar cab on that blue dump truck chassis!

[@haroldphipps3457]

Frame on blue is junk!

[@michaelhartloff3833]

You probably could have picked that up in a 5x8 trailer

[@hollandduck79]

from the Netherlands thanks for the video C.J. . can't you turn that dump truck into a dump trailer? . then you can sell the good parts for the engine and drivetrain and you have a truck dump trailer for yourself to throw in your scrap steel and you don't have the costs of a truck registration and maybe you don't always sell it haha

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i will get far more return on my investment by repairing the bed, having it sand blasted and painted, then put on a nice cab and chassis truck.

[@willefixit]

nice score

[@farmerbrown3768]

All the mini Mitsubishi trucks I have ever looked at was right hand drive and was not street legal in the states.

[@matta3888]

JC, Did that small pickup cost as much as a Roxar? I have a set of Goodyear off road tires. They need to be on a 4x4 truck.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

dont know what a roxar is but it was more than i thought it should have been.

[@karlnelson6593]

When you say “Cute little bugger”, you referring to the wife or the truck?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

yes!

[@stevencox75]

that is a very popular truck type in Asia the little white Mitsubishi

[@MrFakit]

I bet JC never describes one of his trucks as cute lol

[@j.c.smithprojects]

That word only comes out of my face when i am playing with the grand kids.

[@slngblde]

Jc, is that mini truck street legal there? There are golf cart tires that are dot legal and there should be golf cart wheels that will fit

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it could be street legal here.

Did you ever finish the roll-off truck I never got to see the in this video if you did

[@j.c.smithprojects]

was just talking with the owner the other day on where we are going with it. he doesnt have any cash to put into it until summer....it will have to leave the building.

[@kevinlamarr1424]

There are so many things you point out in the truck that makes it not worth buying then you show one reason to buy it that wipes out all the negatives. The components are more valuable than the truck as a whole

[@j.c.smithprojects]

it doesnt work for everyone but it does for me. picking up a parts truck here and there at a reasonable cost can drastically change the overall cost of many truck build projects. when i am done with a parts truck there usually isnt enough scrap" or unusable parts left over to fill a pick up truck bed

[@j.c.smithprojects]

the only person that should matter to is you. if it suits your needs and your budget, be happy with it. i am just not a fan of gas engines in trucks that size. understand i say this because i buy what sells good in my area. most buyers in my area looking for that size truck wants a diesel engine, manual trans and air brakes.

[@teebugg66]

What does it cost to have a dump bed sand blasted in your area?

[@j.c.smithprojects]

depends on how big and how bad.

[@nightstorm9128]

I don't understand why Americans call everything a truck...that Mitsubishi is a van not a truck...

[@j.c.smithprojects]

here a van is a completely enclosed body. call it what you want. it doesnt matter to me.

[@haroldphipps3457]

I don't understand why anyone would call that truck a van. 🙂

[@mattcat231]

if it has a bed, it's a truck, doesn't matter if it's just an enclosed shopping cart like on that Mitsubishi, its still a bed, lol
