How much for the truck

[@aserta]

For civie use, that's probably one of the best uses for one of these, otherwise... you're just burning a hole in your pocket, but as a wrecker?... freaking brilliant. Has all the good stuff you need built in. I don't think there could be a better marriage of purposes even if someone made things for it.

[@JackMacLupus]

Actually, that's not the first HET that i see that was turned into a wrecker. But that only prooves that the idea is simply SO good, that more than one can have it. XD

[@support2587]

In AZ there’s a free car show every Saturday that’s been running for 30 years. Maybe eight years ago we drove into the parking lot to enjoy the show and there was a green mountain parked in the middle of the show. A HET. Crazy big in person.

Nice video. That should be one hell of a wrecker when finished. Thanks for sharing.

Truck looks awesome. That was a full family build. Love this channel

[@timothymilam732]

I have to admit that riding with Hunter is much better than with Kevin, and this isn't my normal pick on Hog Head either. Sausage fingers maybe able to paint, he even alright wrench twister, but his driving is hard on the passenger side brake pedal. Don't tell me he wasn't gettin to you too, because you were giving him hard time about that is typically reserved for beginning drivers, and I never once heard except Kevin get nervous when another vehicle was coming towards them. Maybe if you gave him a couple extra firm pillows to sit on he could see what was under the bumper instead of what he's supposed to be watching ahead of him. Better yet, just mount him a seat like John Wayne had on the old GMC in Hatari, and then Hunter can drive while Kevin watches the stripe under the his feet.😅

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Lol

[@plowkingf15]

Heavy D has a het wrecker like that, but I think his is older. He works it real hard.

[@eajmvdeventuin]

I would move the control levers further back if the hydraulic lines would allow so that they would not sit above the wheels. If this is possible with the hydraulic hoses, purely for safety if something heavy is hanging in the salvage boom.

[@pinwizz69]

That's going to be one beast of a wreaker. Not just for towing big rigs but excavation equipment stuck in mud holes. And especially broken down logging equipment in hard to get at areas including logging decks. Definitely going to be a really entertaining series watching how you guys figure out what needs to be done to make it work and be safe.

[@OldVermontGuy]

I suspected these HETs would make awesome recovery wreckers, smart move to leave the high capacity winches operational. When you get it all done and rigged, think about doing a demo on its operation. You can probably find something in the yard that Mason can get into an appropriate location for recovery!!

[@dalebailey1844]

I hope you are putting fenders on the rear or the controls will get crunched from road salt and water and mud, hope I did not miss anything .. But I love this stuff. keep it up and, HAVE A GOOD DAY!

[@andrewruble7706]

This is a really great build for one of the Oshkosh's. Was a bummer when this chapter ended. Looking forward to see the next part of the build. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.

[@mikesmith8952]

I started out at age 9 learning about wreckers. For many years I did light duty towing and enjoyed tremendously, injury and age forced me out but if I had the funds today I'd love a wrecker like the one you're building here. This truck will be one special wrecker when done. Whoever buys it I hope they have a KZbin channel to follow how it's used and where!!

[@gullreefclub]

Worked part time for a local company that did tow truck repairs etc and the guy who owned the shop has worked for Holmes and anytime he mounted a body on a truck chassis he would cut a tapered piece of white oak that he had soaked in creosote and would put it between the frame of the truck subframe of the body he was mounting to do something similar to what JerrDan is doing

[@chipmccoy5077]

The HET is going to be a beast of a wrecker. Great video as always. Thanks again Clint and C&C EQUIPMENT.

I was able to come by your shop in june and your crew allowed me to take a look at this, I was so grateful, I was disappointed that I missed meeting you I hope you and your family had a good vacation your crew was awesome allowing me to walk around your facility being an Army vet seeing all the vehicles brought back a lot of memories my son enjoyed getting to look at all the vehicles in the lot and I want to thank you and your staff for the hats they gave us it was very much appreciated.

getting a zero turn stuck is a badge of honor. at least one swim in a pond/creek is mandatory for anyone that has ever operated a zero turn. Hustler's seem drawn to mud, ponds. that is one helluva beast of a wrecker. the HET was massive before. HeavyD might wanna buy it off you Clinton 😁

@@johnunsicker7440 - Yes he does and it appears that most of it is excellent quality as long as Aaron is there to help (I like picking on Mike). The overhead crane is nice but, a forklift can reach in through a cab doorway in order to lift a pump or transmission out. Not easy to do in a small shop.

[@JEmory]

If I had a vote, it would be to paint it primer gray. Wondering f you don't want mud flaps on the rear tires so you can keep mud off controls / cables for wrecker body. Might use some horizontal tool boxes to the do the trick. Very cool. Fun project. Thank You for sharing.

[@mikesmith8952]

This wrecker really needs Outriggers to keep it planted to the roadway. Most wreckers of this style have them as they are needed when side winching heavier loads. It also needs some very large side boxes for chains and other wrecker equipment. Looking forward to the next Video to see how the build moves forward.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

[@terryrogers1025]

This is going to make an awesome recovery vehicle/ truck, I have been involved in building a heavy duty recovery truck with a 50 ton 360 rotary boom on it, it was built on a Peter car, turned out awesome and really long.

WOW. This is going to be one Hell of a Mean Machine , She Looks Amazing

[@w056007568]

Whilst I think that combination of truck plus the purchased recovery equipment is likely to work really well one thing that I have noticed about similar vehicles is that there is a huge amount of ancillary equipment needed to make it a fairly complete and independent truck. - My question at this stage is where are you thinking of carrying and storing this "stuff" as there does not seem to be much in the way of locker space along the chassis rails although there is some space behind the cab but who wants to be lifting / lowering heavy chains and other equipment up and down that height distance.

Looks good. It will probably become an off-road tow truck. If so, fenders are going to be a must to keep the controls from getting beat to death with mud and rocks. Some extra lighting and storage boxes might come in handy too.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

I have no experience with heavy wrecker operations, but watching those guys up in Canada, one of the things I noticed most about the heavy wreckers is the amount of tackle storage they have on those truck. If you move the heavy winch controls off the platform, that could be a good place for a storage box. Not sure if there is one that would fit across from one side to the other. But would be one place. My be a good idea to hit up one of those services for some ideas to fit all the great work you are putting into this. The wrecker config for these HET's is a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the coming episodes.
