Awesome video Jason, your explanations were enough for this knucklehead to understand the general concept and the importance of why you’re doing it. I’m enjoying this project and glad it’s a part of the IRONTRAP family. Keep up your great work ✌️✌️👏👏👏
Thanks Jason, really informative and great to see this going together with basic tools we all have in our garage. I'm really looking forward to seeing the truck rolling.
Nice work on the frame. A suggestion on keeping the frame square ,mark a centerline on the floor full length and drop plumb bobs at the 4 corners of the existing frame . Then you can use your centerline and a few more plumb bobs to square your frame extension. It's a similar method to how a frame shop measures for square while pulling frames . Easy to do but hard to explain.
Awesome video. And I like seeing he is building this in a 2 car garage! As this is what most people have! Love what Iron Trap does keep the videos coming!
Looks great, another way to get it all straight and square is to put four posts up in a rectangle, square them up, measure corner to corner, then attach string, use a string level to level all four parts of the string, once you have a square rectangle around it you can measure in from that string to anywhere on the frame to make sure its square and use two four foot levels, one in each rail to keep it all level.
Back around the turn of the century there was no UA-cam and I had to order parts I could barely afford from Speedway and others. I managed to build a T roadster pickup. Getting info was very difficult. Hot rods were scarce but more than once I would spot one on the hiway and follow it to a gas station or even a house and always the owner would happily chat with me and give me pointers on the very things you show in this video. I learned welding and painting and engine rebuilding the same way. It took me 18 months to complete the transformation of a 70 Courier to my finished hotrod. Years later I proudly posted videos on my UA-cam channel. Years later I used UA-cam to learn how to restore my grandmas 1910 Singer and stitch a removable top. You are going through the best part right now. Later you will have the time of your life driving your creation for the first time! Good luck, my friend!
2 thumbs up !!! thank god there's a kid out there that uses his HEAD for more then a " RED NECK HAT RACK " or playing video games in his mommy's basement !!! HENRY FORD WOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR ABILITY TO OVERCOME A TECHNICAL NIGHTMARE !!!!! keep up the great work , YOUR PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAILS , SEPERATES THE MEN FROM THE " MOOK'S " !!!!!
"measure twice, cut once." Excellent work doublechecking every measurement. Seems to be the only method available to every shade-tree mechanic back in the day. Who would have had access to a frame table other than professional builders? This seems to be as accurate as possible with the tools at hand. Well done.
One of the Best reasons I enjoy ITG, real men building real world, affordable hot rods!! Jason love the progress!!! And your comments on how long it takes to complete a task. My equation " what time I think it will take × by 3 or 4 x life = actual time needed, lol
Hey Jason, it looks like Y'all are going about it the right way. She's looking purdy darn good from my viewpoint, hahaa. It looks like you might have a driveshaft issue with the crossmember behind the cab. I'm sure that you'll address that when the time comes. What about a triangulated 3 link with coilover shocks? Would you be able to do something like that on this build? Anyway, great show, my friend. Keep up the awesome work on your Pick em up truck. Hope the rest of your day is purdy darn good. Later 🙂✌️
Yes sir your attention to detail and setting up your jigs to hold everything in place is positive thinking and it doesn't take that long to engage in the pursuit of proper fabrication. Beings this is your first build it will take longer as you are on a learning curve but having patience will yield a much better result.
Great stuff Jason. Not too long a break, hopefully, but will be great seeing, Matt, Mike, yourself, and Steve in the 'Shop Truck', all out for a cruise, (one day). Love from Reading, England.
Nice work! Very similar to the Rod build series in Car Craft that started in November of '64. I have that issue and some of the later ones. They even gave all the dimensions to the box tubing and brackets. Keep at it!
Very cool Jason!!, I really like the Pontiac power, I'm building a 31 Ford Coupe using 57-58 371 Olds for power & of course using factory Tri-power which is the only year(s) this was available. I have an assortment of screws jacks that I use for leveling.
Do yourself a favor for drilling. Find some Tap Magic fluid in a can, or thick formula aerosol can. You’ll understand why I recommend when you try it. Using nothing is a little better than WD40 for drilling.
you need to be concerend with the working angel of that ujoint at rear imput it needs to be at least .5 degree min and 1.5 degree max or you will not keep ujoints in it.

Looks awesome! Nothing like taking a little extra time, to make sure it perfect, it’ll work out way better.

Jason thank you for explaining how , what and why you're doing it the way you are doing it !
Yeah, big daddy, this is right on right on, glad to see another installment in this video series.
Hey Jay! Great work, man! Nice work! Looking forward to your progress! Thanks for the peek in!

Good job Jason! Good build! 👊👍💯

It's coming along pretty good looking forward to the next video and watching all of your efforts on making your dream Hot Rod come true !
Nice work 👍👍👍

Truly a pain, but, in the end you got it right! Meticulous work makes for a great end product!
Making some screw axle stands helps with levelling the frame out, use some scaffolding screw jacks or acro props
Very nice fab work. And yeah, measure often. Then measure again. Easier than going back and correcting later.
Nice work Jay !
Well Done Bud
Right on Jason. Love the truck.
Good explanation like the extra details makes understandable
Jason. Excellent. Good lesson on how to make things square with minimal shop equipment. I am impressed.
Like others I to am impressed with your thought process and your attention to the small details and constant measuring.
"measure twice, cut once." Excellent work doublechecking every measurement. Seems to be the only method available to every shade-tree mechanic back in the day.

Excellent video very very informative thanks a lot Jay keep up the good work looks great!!
Coming along very Nice
It’s a science, you just don’t throw something together, well done, sir!
Great Job!
Kool! I dig this Poncho Powered Pickup!
Awesome episode
Looks great.
definitely awesome - good job!
GREAT video, real hot rodding. not everybody has a frame table at home. lookin' forward to more
Jason! That was a great piece of fabricated and tack welding on a perfect layout! Thanks for explaining everything as you progressed! Fantastic video!
Hey Jason, it looks like Y'all are going about it the right way. She's looking purdy darn good from my viewpoint, hahaa.
It looks like you might have a driveshaft issue with the crossmember behind the cab. I'm sure that you'll address that when the time comes.

Anyway, great show, my friend. Keep up the awesome work on your
Pick em up truck.
Hope the rest of your day is purdy darn good.
Later 🙂✌️
Impressive!
I'm going to be watching you. I have some patch work on my 32 and most of it is in the same spots yours has rotted.
Nice build

13:32 you stretchered a string and got the same measurement, awesome?
Nice job Jason! Well thought out, not going mental for 1/10 of a degree and well sized tubing. Your Mom may want you to put on a belt though.
i appreciate seeing how you set up and measure things with your suspension. glad to get an update too!
Great stuff Jason.
Not too long a break, hopefully, but will be great seeing, Matt, Mike, yourself, and Steve in the 'Shop Truck', all out for a cruise, (one day).

Great video, Jason. Enjoy the home build as it would have been done way back then.
Enjoyed this video, how you measured, checked and rechecked the back 1/2 frame . Looking forward to seeing how you finish up the rear and springs too
Nice work!

I really enjoy experiences coming to fruition. I hope to see more.👍🏼
