Been a couple of months since I saw some of your videos. I do always watch them though. Your video quality and sound is much better then remember. Keep up the great content
peter zila showed me his mic set up when we did the tig welding video and i was impressed with how much better the audio quality was in that video. so i ordered a couple for myself.
Great looking welds J.C 😎👍 That mag drill is pretty nice for the money! 👀 I gotta look into getting one. Don't blame you for selling it as a cab and chassis. That'll save you some time for your own projects. Have a nice weekend 🔧
i have been using it a lot. it has been doing very well. got lots of holes to drill in the hitch plate i am building. i will finish this truck with it.
JC &CO that welding was fine you've learned quick at times You're to hard on yourself just love this channel regards and best wishes for Easter from Scotland 🏴🇬🇧📹👍🚛🎩🪄
Beautiful work you two. That is an awesome looking conversion so far. And I love the real work tool review for the magnet drill. I am in that boat of wanting to buy one for myself. But using it once every two years average, I can borrow my buddy's for free 🤣. But nothing beats having your own on the shelf!!
The amazement of you finding no leaks is priceless. The fact you had no pinholes in dirty metal is amazing. Have you considered running tank sealer in it, more to keep those future pinholes sealed up, my old radiator shop used to offer the service.
Yes, Red Kote is an excellent choice to line home made tanks as insurance against leaks, encapsulates any existing rust or debris hidden behind baffles you can't reach/see, etc.
@@j.c.smithprojects true, but that's a rough recommendation. In my experience, it's not exactly a linear equation for the gallons to qts conversion needed. Probably get away with 2-3 qts tops and there is always the leftover amount to save and pour back for the next tank. But hey, with JC's welding and if it's pretty clean inside already, plus a sale truck, sounds like it's not needed on this one 👍
@@j.c.smithprojects 👍👌👏 Exactly! Additionally I've heard from several people (motorbike/car guys), that the special inner coating does not held up really good/long = flakes off after some time. Maybe caused by that 💩 ethanol in the fuel.
JC, remember or not as the guy who lives in alaska, did some of this kind of work, now wishing we had tools like this. Rather than drag out a comment, figure I would give my short hopefully story of starting as a log truck driver. Dad was a detroit guy and would send me out with a old tired 671 detroit. Tanks were too small and I would run out of fuel..... not easy to pick up the prime again, I put a tire core in the tank and had air fixed up for airing up tires anyway so would just put in a little and that means a very little as my first attempt was blowing up my tank. But done right, it would push fuel up to the filters and get it going with a little practice.... maybe a lot of practice as it did scare me enough to remember how loud the sound of a tank going Bang! Fuel only cost around two cents a gallon in those days.... ever wonder why or how they could sell fuel that cheap?? We both know but can anyone ever explain it to the others who did not live in those times. Thirty nine cents for what we call high test now, and you could leave a rig that used gas for a year and it would still be good fuel. Plus the carburetor wasn't gummed up, things just worked. I am not getting political on you but real scared again, not of getting older, but what is happening here in our country
The truck is looking very nice. That’s awesome job on the gas tank and no leaks. I agree on selling the truck as a cab and chassis setup save money and time and get your money back out of it.
Great video J.C.Smith great job on welding the tank. Great teacher meticulous student that learned to weld it. The truck is coming along nicely thanks for sharing stay safe Mr & Mrs J.C.Smith.
Those welds look pretty darn good, especially considering you just started tig welding not too long ago! A watercooled torch is nice to have for long periods of welding or high amperage, you can also choke up on the torch for certain positions and not have the torch get too hot to hold comfortably. Might be a good addition to your welding setup.
General engineering practice is to drill clearance holes for bolts oversized. The reason for this is to allow for greater hole location tolerances and still allow the bolt to pass freely thru the two mating parts. If you don’t use an oversized clearance hole, the location needs to be perfect and it costs more in a production application. They probably punch the holes in production.
oversized holes are for punched holes or inadequacies in manufacturing....not required. if i can drill holes the same size as the fastener, a manufacture should be able to get that same level of accuracy.
The gear reduction looks like its better on that one than the vevor. I know it has a high RPM and it burns bits up. Reciprocating saws have same problem when your cutting metal. They are too fast.
I dont know how many years i am watching .... but i am still jealous of your skills and awsome wife thats supportive :) ... Young women just want the fancy stuff but not willing to work for :(
I have an older Jancy upright mag drill. It is variable speed, and i really like it. The magnet is really thick and powerful, but like your Milwaukee, it is HEAVY. I did just purchase a Fein low profile mag drill. Similar to the low profile Hougen. The low profile drills will fit between the frame rail and the rear duals still installed on the truck. Thinner/weaker magnet, but it saves a ton of work if the tires don't need to come off anyway. What will dull those annular cutters faster than anything, is the rust between double frame rails! The price point on that Evoloution is excellent, at that price im not surprised it isn't as powerful as you (and i) think it should be.
i am looking into buying the hougen low profile drill. i have had some situations that would make it an ideal choice. like many others, i cant justify the cost for as rarely as i need it.
Best drill out there for the money…two set screws in the head…one fell out during shipping it’s in the case someplace…throw oilers is way better..for the center a the cutter…I wish these cabs had a 2 ft extra cab an a standard 8 ft bed ..be just right for a rv toy haulers…cheers🎉 🎉
Hey JC, i have the corded Milwaukee mag drill and i love it. It’s much more manageable than the cordless but you can’t beat the cordless for portability. I have been curious about the evolution mag drills too. Great review!
gotta say, i am really liking this drill and the cutters so far. i still have holes to drill for mudflap brackets, lights, and the entire hitch plate. we will see how it drills the large hole for the 7 pin trailer plug i am putting in the 1/2" plate.
If the tanķ will hold gasoline after welding it will hold anything. Back in the day when we made deep oil pans for hot rods or crossbred engine swaps after welding when the pan cooled down we filled it with gasoline to check for leaks. Any pinhole got JB.
9:52 better than spraying, sticks better too, take a shaving brush and a large jar lid and mix some thick soap in with the brush and apply it with the brush. Because it's "lather" it will stick better and won't require multiple passes.
Love all the stuff you folks do. The 'can-do' attitude is sadly thin on the ground these days. Someone is making big $ on the drill. Here in UK its about $415 equivalent for the same drill. My local steel supplier has one to hire out, so I could never justify an outright purchase for the minimal drilling I need done. Audio quality is excellent now. Thanks again.👍
Those welds look pretty good but mild steal is porous. The old tig class teacher recommended using a de- oxidizer. Aluminum, silicon or manganese. The tig is so fast it doesn't have tome to burn off impurities.
J.C. the only thing i can think of against a corded magnet on a drill is if you have an interruption in power. That can get exciting very quick if doing a vertical surface. I got hurt badly drilling 3/4" holes in cast iron. We made a plate to stick the mag base to but when the power dropped out the thing beat me up. I was up under a loom with not a lot of room anyway. The drill bit hung up and broke, the part still in the drill laid the side of my arm open. Too many stitches later and a lost time accident. After that if i used a magdrill on a vertical I hooked one of the overhead chainfalls to it. One a$$hole from the cleanup crew unplugged my extension cord, that tether earned its keep. Just keep that in mind, J.C. Those stitches hurt because the area never quite got numb. Cool little drill though. The single high speed concerns me especially going bigger in diameter with the hole. A mag drill of some sort will probably be my next purchase. Im getting too old to hoss around those old 1/2" drill motors. Nice job on the tank..... Cheers Terry
Great video,,, I try and hang the mag drill from an engine hoist or ?. What ever to many times some ones kick the cord out or blew the breaker,,,plus easer on the back lol
Good job as usual, have you ever tried using an old paint brush to clear the metal cuttings while you’re drilling? Thanks to you and your wife for the videos always enjoy watching
J.C. I know you know what you're doing. All I want to say is there needs to be more quality tree equipment out there. I've mentioned it to another channel that seems to build like it's the last one they'll have the same as you do. Tired of seeing over priced junk or people wind up with cat turds and spray paint equipment priced like new. I just got a Carlton stump grinder that needs a 100% restoration, just had to pick it up. These fools are out here putting a new 35hp on it and asking $15,000 with the dry rot, leaks and rust like it lived behind a salt truck. I'm not a mechanic but I love puzzles and hate half cheeking anything.
there is tons of tree equipment available by me. a huge tree company auctions off all their used equipment regularly. i believe its condition is less than stellar though.
@@j.c.smithprojects Good operators are worth more than good machines. The tree business is rough on equipment, all it takes is 1 guy to ruin something nice. Enjoy your Easter!
Why the oversized holes? Just a guess; ease of assembly and most assembly line guys don't care/have the time allowed to take the care to properly assemble....
Very good video. I was looking to see what drill model number that was. I couldn't find a C5500 on Amazon. Alson I couldn't find the CC12 set on there either. I was just wanting to know if I was looking up the right ones?

no. no that the distance from the rear steer axle leaf spring hanger and the front drive leaf spring hanger has been shortened, those holes have less of an effect on the frame. if i end up putting a dump bed on it, i will use many of them as mounting points. i wont drill ne holes.

Great video as always J. C. I was just curious though, that you were on about the amount of holes in the frames between the axles, would it be possible to weld up the holes? Or is that not allowed or just not time and/or cost effective? Just curious as I always look at the frames and think wow that’s a lot of holes in the frames. Keep up the videos as they’re informative and entertaining. 👍🏻👍🏻
no need. when i reduce the distance between the axles, i reduced the stress on that frame section. if i put a dump bed on it, i will use those holes to mount the sub frame instead of drilling new ones.

Hi JC thank you for sharing 🤗
For someone who is not a professional welder,,Your welds are excellent,,
gonna take lots of practice to make it decent. i will just keep trying.
At Cummins I just use watered down windex to check for leaks, less bubbles than soap but more than enough to show leaks

@@j.c.smithprojects odd. The last two our company had. Did...one we find there more often loosing up after a few holes
I use a unitec mabasic 200 mag drill . It works well with evolution annular cutter, but those cutters like to be lubricated from the inside .

No bubbles, Zila would be proud! I hate to tell you, you are becoming a welder, haha!
just goes to show you, peter can teach anyone.
Why not use a step tank
if it was an option, i would have.
Those welds look pretty good but mild steal is porous. The old tig class teacher recommended using a de- oxidizer. Aluminum, silicon or manganese. The tig is so fast it doesn't have tome to burn off impurities.
Nice I like that drill
Vapor is the problem , but you've got that handled ............
Thank you MP and BM
A welder I know runs his trucks exhaust into the tank to help reduce the oxygen, its a cheap way to keep it purged out.

pretty thick tank. if it were a typical passenger vehicle thin metal tank, i wouldnt have.
nice
re: Magdrill. Does it come with a chart to match RPM to whether using annular cutter or twist drill and type of steel and thickness? $15.00 cutters make for expensive learning curve.
It looks useful and having 2 makes great sense for you and your work.
appears to be single speed
one speed means high speed cutters and bits.
Do a drawing for the old mag drill
Seems like I was watching car show on TV. Veido and audio was great. Just curious how long did it take you to move the axle and get to this point? From the first video seems like moving the axle didn't take long at all
if you take out all the time cleaning, prepping and painting, we probably have 8 hours in the move.
As a matter of safety, do you think you should plug-weld all those holes in the frame? That frame is starting to look like Swiss cheese and could be compromised .
no. no that the distance from the rear steer axle leaf spring hanger and the front drive leaf spring hanger has been shortened, those holes have less of an effect on the frame. if i end up putting a dump bed on it, i will use many of them as mounting points. i wont drill ne holes.
Welding up multiple holes will weaken the frame.
😎👍

Don’t weld them ! It will take too much strength out of the frame. Put a flange bolt and flange nut in the hole
no need. when i reduce the distance between the axles, i reduced the stress on that frame section. if i put a dump bed on it, i will use those holes to mount the sub frame instead of drilling new ones.

How much for the truck without a bed?
That truck without a bed is exactly what I’m looking for in that wheelbase length. All I would really need would be some fenders over the rear tires.
