@DesertRatFabrication yes, it's nice to see hey!

@petem6291 thank you very much. I didn't want it to be like all the others! Stick around to see the rear bumper in a couple weeks!

Looking at it again today it isn't practical to put ramps. Spare will be on a winch from under I think. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Mike! means a lot!

If I install them that is how they will be I think.

@Bigt62789 thanks Tim!

@@theothertoddg could look good like that

@excossack yes that's a good idea, maybe a hatch for ramps or a drawer.

@@EnglishCharlie with some built in lights for night time hauling.

@@excossack I'm way ahead of you!

@MarksGarageChannel thanks Mark! Yes I have that in mind, thanks for the reminder!

@adubbelde1 it was a much thought about decision not to go that route. I know what you mean though.

@DesertRatFabrication they are done, it'll be soon Mike don't worry!

@DesertRatFabrication it's live now buddy!

Thanks Mark! apt hey!

@DesertRatFabrication thanks Mike, torque tube is another headache altogether. I think that would have been a replacement axle.

@@EnglishCharlie yes I agree👍

@DesertRatFabrication thanks for stopping by good to hear from you!

@williamstewartbuchanan5299 thank you, I'm enjoying the flat deck build on the GMC at the moment!

@adubbelde1 hey Alan, this one is a 1 Ton. These things get shopped and changed so much. Who knows.

That's so true!

@DesertRatFabrication thanks for stopping by Mike! Hopefully soon!

@@EnglishCharlie 👍👍

@DesertRatFabrication not sure how you mean sliding the pipe up? Hopefully get back to it soon!

Me too Mark! Thanks buddy!

Thanks bud!

Ha! You know it x

@@EnglishCharlie felt like I was intruding on a moment watching 😂😂

@@samanthabrighton7400 you like my metal hey

Thanks andy

Absolutely x

Thanks Tim! Hopefully more real soon!

100%!

You're welcome, thanks for the comment

They will be like on a modern car with day running lights, the white lights go out while the indicator is on. But we will see. Because of the age of the truck the rear indicators being red will comply.

@@EnglishCharlie Whilst both are on they will simply be compliant but I believe that both the EU and UK C&U Regs require forward facing white lights to be in pairs when illuminated. I have never seen any European based cars that extinguish a forward facing white light to allow the indicator to work. There are plenty of examples that have both white and indicators working at the same time and you could achieve that with dual bulbs. At the rear the vehicle has to have been in use prior to 1/9/65 to be allowed to have red indicators. So, if your truck is post that date it will have to have amber indicators.

@clivewilliams3661 the bulbs are duel filament. I'm going by the modern LED running lights which switch to indicators. That's how these may work. As they are duel filament. It is a '51 truck so should be good. All of the marker and signal lights will be controlled by a processor I'll write the code for so I'll be able to configure it any way it needs to be. Not conventional but it's not like I'll sell it. Thanks for your comments Clive.

@@EnglishCharlie Which car(s) have DRLs that switch to indicators? I can't recall any. In any case the lamp units will be 'E; marked to show that they conform to EU and thus UK approval. Your modified ones wont have that. I wish you well with this as for all intents and purposes it does what the rules intend but you can bet the Technocrats at DVSA will have the book open if they inspect. Will you need an MoT given the age of the vehicle - I think not?

@clivewilliams3661 we will see. I am adaptable. Nothing on the vehicle will have had those markings so it's a historic thing. LED or filament they should be interchangeable. Pretty much every new vehicle with signature lights does this. Perhaps we are at a crossed purpose. I see the MOT as an essential document for any vehicle. Regardless of whether it is required or not the vehicle must still meet the standards as set out for road worthiness. For £45 why wouldn't a person have an annual test?

If a grinder you are a welder you ain't ehh!

@@EnglishCharlie true story lol.

Thanks man

@@EnglishCharlie Thank you. You may not realise is but you are giving master classes to lots of us.

@simonvalente2187 not that many people comment to tell me that, so thanks. I'm just doing my own thing how I see fit.

Thanks Charlie!

Thanks Mike I need to catch up on a lot of friends work. I've been busy.

No, I haven't. I have mixed with a lot of different people from all walks of life, pick thinks up haha

Marker lights is a very American term, especially with "older folks " .. he may well have picked it up in groups and forums where most of these old trucks reside and are owned by us insufferable weird speaking Yanks

@GrumpysAlaska-ue2lp too funny! True story!

Maybe it's a Canadian thing

And I am! End of the summer baby xx

Thank you for that recognition Daniel, appreciated. Worked on this one over a little while.

Soon I hope! Thanks!

I think you're right! Belt, braces and string!

Thanks Mike!

Thanks buddy! Not sure what happened there it's not a re-release. Glad you like it!

It's my buddy Andy, he asked me to edit it for him, I thought I'd give it a wider audience.

For just a half ton I agree

That came last December just before Christmas.

Thanks Mike. I adapted it for sure but it's an ebay special! I'll be checking in on your videos soon. Easy

All done and dusted from my regards and back over to sleaford recovery now. Thanks for watching!

I just did the front suspension mounts, and yes i did! 49 hrs some. Back with Ben now to finish.

Yes, I like as much originality as possible too.

Sorry, I missed this comment!I drilled a hole then countersunk it. It'll be in the next video!

Smells good too! Nice to look down a length of wood and not see the ocean!
