- Опубліковано 31 гру 2021
- This week we finish up building the axles for the old chevy truck. Its been great working with my dad on these axles and I look forward to taking him for a spin in this once worn out old truck. Huge thanks to my dad and Yukon for the help making this happen. I cant wait to finish this truck.
if you are interested in anything from Yukon Gear and axle, this build went about as smooth as it gets and everything fit exactly as it should.

Happy New year everyone. Thanks for watching 👍😁🥳
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Happy new year steve summer and elizabeth saludos cordiales desde Sonora México 🇲🇽✌️🤠
I've told you this before but again, YOUR DAD IS AWESOME!!! Do everything you can with him. I lost my dad 22 years ago and he was as good a mechanic as yours.
Excellent workmanship on that! I'm really enjoying your truck videos. THANKS!
Elizabeth is a real treasure - a rare find - so willing to help out repairing your truck.
It’s heartwarming to watch you work with your dad. My dad owned two different gas stations and while I was too young to help him, I stood over him and watched like a hawk. My son would watch me for 5 minutes and then be gone. Later in life while we were doing suspension work on his mother’s car, he asked me how I learned to do all this stuff and I just gave him a silly look.
Wow, the soundproofing in the cab looks like a professional job, way to go Elizabeth.
I supervised several female airmen in my last few years in the Air Force. Gotta say once men get their egos out of the way women will do a lot of things more diligently and more throughly than most men. That cab looks great. Good work Elizabeth. Good work Steve. Must be a pleasure working with someone like your dad who actually knows what he’s doing.
Believe me when I say that you have then envy of every guy that watches your videos - all 57,000 of us. Looking forward to working on the mill.
Your dad's comment about a building never being big enough is so true and caused me to laugh out loud.
It was good to see dad spin as timely as you can
It is nice that you can work with your Dad, It was a gift to me that I worked with mine !
28:30 When I did my differential,I made a rig that applied an adjustable, predetermined torque to the input shaft, using a large instant coffee can with cord wound around it and weights hanging off the cord.
Calculate the radius of the can and the weight on the cord to give the correct torque.
For weights, I used a plastic food container and added water to the correct weight.
The object is to preload the bearing until the weight falls at a constant rate,neither increasing in speed or slowing to a stop.
Much more precise than turning a dynamic torque gauge by hand.
What's the matter? Are you to cheap to buy proper tools?
Your "method" is a blast from ancient history. My grandfather used to do stuff like that 60 years ago.
Treasure the time with your Dad Steve! My Dad and I used to do a lot of work together just like you. He passed back in 2000 and would have been 82 in 2021, watching the two of you together brings back such wonderful memories! Peace
Happy new year Steve…. Lovely to see the whole family working on the truck, and Elizabeth…. Fantastic job on the sound proofing! May 2022 bring you all peace and prosperity….
Steve, I may have said it previously, but a second or third time is ok too. I think it's great your dad is out there working with you in the shop on your project. My dad was a city boy, so rarely in his life had more than a hammer or hand saw in his hand. As a result, unfortunately we didn't get to do too much together. Father/son moments are priceless. I'm thankful for the time my dad and I did have together. He was as good a father as you could ask for and I can see your dad is as well.
Way to go! Elizabeth. Wonderful to see the enthusiasm to share in a mechanical project. You definitely can stand straight and tall and say “I did that”.
Complete confidence in your ability to persevere... when you do get it stuck the "un-stucking" will probably be video worthy!
For being 81 your dad is still doing pretty good.
I’ll probably never lift a mechanic’s wrench but really enjoy your videos.
Steve, nice to see you enjoying working in your shop with your Dad! I wish my Dad was still here to share time with like that. ;)
Dunno why you don’t already have 250k subs. Love your channel. God bless. Cheers.
Elizabeth has the perfect stature for putting all that mat in that cab. I regularly find myself in floor boards wondering if that is where I live now. LOL
Your pops has always done things the way he knew how and wouldn’t ever spend the money on the big tools him talking about that press beating beating them on with a hammer brought back so many memories with my dad enjoy every moment you get with him I was 25 when my dad passed we never really got to be good friends like we should’ve been
Elizabeth is the only person I've seen apply sound proof pads Correctly. Line up, start applying and press and peel as you go. Can't wait to see this Truck Rolling.
Thank You
Hi Steve, your making a great job of bringing back to life of this old truck, it great to have your dad and Elizabeth to help, Happy new year to you all, from Bonnie Scotland 👴🏻👍
be glad dad is there to help, lost mine long ago
Damn working like that your dad could be half his age, great to see.
"Cherry Flavored Locktite" I never realized it was that tasty!
I'll have to try the blueberry flavored 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to you and your family! Dad looks great and I like seeing him much more inside the shop working on the axle than on the roof doing shingles for sure! Keep him busy, keep him moving, and keep him safe! P.S. Dad holding pipe while son swings hammer...that's trust!
Were I to work with my OWN Dad, who is as knowledgeable as yours in (his field as yours is in) this I would be so intimidated. Steve, I have watched you for years. obviously you are as confident and full of yes I'll say it: WISDOM as your 81 year old father... You guys rock! I learned 4 tips in 4 minutes. Thanks..
Happy new year Steve and family, a real treat to see your father working on the axle, he is so good for his age. Often wondered where you got all your experience repairing vehicles, now we know, learned from the expert. Thanks for the great videos, makes my Saturday morning. All the best for the year ahead.
It's great having your dad there to play with you this fine day my dear friend. Who better to have along. I am pretty sure he has a trick or two up his sleeve eh. He nailed the shop size for sure eh. He is in great shape with his poker straight back ! Elizabeth as well is worth her salt in the shop. She has a great skill set working with you as much as she dose. I am sure that as far as performance is concerned you are going to really enjoy the fruits of your labors my friends. These are ALL solid upgrades. All the very, very best for 2022 bud. Onward eh. WOOHOO FOR 22 ! ! !
Happy new year to you and Elizabeth and your children Steve, also to your Mom and Dad. It's great to see you working with him doing the axle, although it would have been nice to see and HEAR more your interaction together, while you were doing the work. I bet I'm not the only one who likes to hear his "Pearls of wisdom " either lol Elizabeth made a great job of sound proofing the cab. If there is any danger of running out of the soundproofing after doing the cab back and the doors, don't start from one side of the roof but start from the centre line outwards, equally as any droning will be towards the centre and get less as it goes out towards the tighter curves over each end of the roof panel.
I love that you include your family. You, and Elizabeth are such a team. Savor your time together. Fix the backlash Steve. It probably will not make a difference, but it will bother you forever. Great video, Thanks!
Nothing to fix. It is within specs.
@@russellstarr9111 It was at the high end of the tolerance, and he spent time discussing it, making me think it bothered him. You are right, nothing to fix.
Happy New Year to you Steve and the entire family. I noticed you didn't mention either differential vents when you were doing the rebuild (or maybe I missed it). If those vents are plugged up all that work will result in blown out axle seals and messed up brake pads and shoes. Lots of folks don't know that differentials will run warm and even hot as they are worked, creating gas pressure in the housing that needs to vent. If you plan on doing water foraging be sure your vent tubes are routed above the highest water point and you have a good poppet valve in the end of your tube to protect that running gear. Cheers into the new year! Thanks for the Share Steve.. Stay Safe
I always like my backlash on the low side, so once the gears are broke in it will be perfect in my book. Elizabeth that is what I call one Professional job installing the sound deadening material. Happy New Year folks.
gotta love that +30% Dad Action
Great to see your dad and Elizabeth working with you. Nice job all the way around.👌👌
its always nice to work with your dad ,
Love the direction you're channel is going, one of the best on UA-cam. That music you put in there while setting up your contact pattern was a nice touch. It's little stuff like that the makes a guy think about the artistic side of things going on. Wonderful job.
Great to see your dad out there brother! Very special
This old truck will be a pleasure to drive when your done. Great job by Elizabeth on the install and glad to see your dad sharing his experience with you. Happy New Year to all of you.
Elizabeth really made a beautiful job of the soundproofing! Not just renovating or restoring - improving. The axle rebuilds make me impatient to see this thing throwing dirt. :-) Happy New Year's folks! Yo DAD! Way to get in there and keep Steve in line!!
If you go ahead and replace any worn out parts in the steering column, that thing will probably drive better than my new one. Excellent job on the sound deadening Elizabeth, and well done on everything so far period. You're doing things right which isn't always the case here on UA-cam. Happy to see the progress, I have always loved those old square body trucks. You sticking with the old 350? A sb400 would be cool with a nice truck cam.
I Love to see the respect that you have for your Dad enjoy him every chance you get I sure miss mine. God Bless Happy New Year
Be thankful for all the time you have with your dad.
Unfortunately mine passed away when I was only six and he was only
42 . But I do have many great memories of him and he was a wonderful father. Hope you build a lot more with your dad.
Happy New year to and yours.
Steve I really enjoy the work on the square body. This is the practical side of machinery. Seeing how the front and rear axles go together and how the specs are setup. But then I am more a car / truck guy. I dont have a machine shop (yet). (my wife doesnt know I follow you tube machinist channels). LOL.
Happy New Year Steve and Elizabeth. Kudos Elizabeth for a job well done with the sound deadening mats and also to your father Steve for his help rebuilding the rear. My father owned a fleet of tri-axle dump trucks and taught me everything he knew. The business went to me when he retired at age 70 and I closed the business 2018 when I retired. He always said never be afraid to open a book to be sure the assembling is correct. We were alike and I always treasured the time working with him rebuilding engines, transmissions, and rears. He passed away May 2020 at age 94 and is sorely missed. Hope your entire family will stay safe during the holidays.
Awsome... life... 94.... having a full and happy life makes his passing... just part of the deal... oh sure.. he had to struggle through with you.... but... no... no... That was my dad struggling through with me... who said... " you know... of the 3 of you kids... you were the one who turned out the least way I had expected... " to which I responded..
................ " Well... THANKS DAD " Use to be a bad thing when someone said... someone gave you the business .... like your dad gave you... Time for my covid shot.. NOT
Great job, lovely to see your dad involved too. Kudos to Elizabeth too for that fantastic soundproofing job.
Happy new year Steve.
Treasure the time you spend with your dad. I wanted to work with dad a lot more then I did mainly do to driving a truck.
He was a maintenance mechanic/machinist at a book publishing company. He told me 1 time the only thing he couldn't make with a lathe, a mill, & a welder was ball bearings. And that was only because he could never figure out how they got the balls in the races.
He injured his good knee 3 months prior to retirement 10 years ago. He could not walk do to needing a double knee replacement and the VA wouldn'tdo it till he lost weight. So for the next 9 years my step mom would all but keep him out of the shop. Saying she was afraid he would fall. Even though he had got an electric wheelchair I even bought 3 more. And I would be there as well. He was supposed to exercise but unless she was going to the store she wouldn't let him out of bed. Then 4 years ago he was put in a nursing home for about 2 months because he had congestive heart failure. They made him get out of bed and use his chair. He came home and 4 days a week he was out of bed and out of his room for over a year. She still wouldn't let go outside. Mainly because of the blood thinners he was on made his body cold to the touch. He shivered all the time even when the house was 90°.
In Jan 2020 I quit driving a truck. In November 2020 he died. I was to late in staying home for him. He had finally lost the weight the VA wanted him to loose but it was all mussel that he lost. He had deteriorated to the point he was a "skeleton with a belly" as he put it. And do to COVID19 he waited to long to go to the hospital for what we found out was total kidney failure. He died less then a month before his 71st birthday. And 3 days before Thanksgiving. He never got to see how my shop was tailored to me working from a wheelchair myself. I can no longer stand very long at a time as my back will not allow it. So cherish every moment with him. I miss it very much.
Steve,
You are a lucky man. A Dad that clearly knows his stuff, a Son that helps out when needed and the lovely Elizabeth, who is more than willing to get stuck in in all sorts of areas such as sound proofing and welding. All I would get is "dinner is at 6pm" - not that I would want to change that either :-)
I hope you all have a great new year. Keep up the great videos and I look forwards to seeing the old truck transformed and ready for another 250K miles.
Happy new year from the UK
Good old dad.
Love watching you and your dad work together. Great series!
Your lady did a great job on the sound proofing...👍👍👍
Elizabeth is awesome! You’re going to be pleased with how much sound deadener helps with the interior noise level, it’s one of the first things I do whenever I get a car.
Watched this today.
Watched Ca Lem cut his own cycloidal gears yesterday.
Machining tube is awesome!
With all that sound deadening this is turning into the Rolls Royce of pick ups. Well that might be a bit over the top but it’s certainly going to be quieter than any Ford.
Time with Dad will live for along time... I remember mine volunteering me to help put a clutch in a lumber yard fork lift in his shop... That was a great time in the 80's...
Happy new year Steve and your dad is an absolute star
Just came across your videos and i have to say they are excellent! I spent the first half of my life in the forestry business in Alabama, my dad was in it also and he also used to say that a winch, lockers, bigger tires, etc just get you "stucker'! LOL
Elizabeth demonstrates why country girls are the best!
If there are any areas on the floor/firewall that get hot from the exhaust. If you have extra sound deadening, double layer over the hot spots. It works decent for that too.
Always good to see Mr.Summers sr.
The difference between lockers and open diffs is, open; your buddy pulls you out with his truck, locker; your buddy pulls you out with his tractor.
If there is anything negative about your videos, Steve, it's that there aren't more of them and that they aren't longer. You Abom and Keith Rucker's are some of the best including also Mr. lipton and others.
Good luck to you and the family in the coming year. Elizabeth, you're an amazing girl !
Great video Steve. Long after this truck has been retired the best memories you will have of it will be Elizabeth and your Dad helping you restore it. Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
Happy New Year Steven and Elizabeth! You will find sound proofing is a pain to put in but makes a HUGE difference. I used to do car audio and it is amazing how much quieter the vehicle is inside. Then you turn the stereo's on and outside is much quieter. Great work Elizabeth!
What a great way to start the new year! A new Steve Summers Video!
What a great way to start the year! Waking up to a new Steve Summers video !! I always enjoy to watch you work with your dad, and Elizabeth sure did a great job on the cab floor. Best wishes to you and you family, may 2022 be a blessed year to you all.
"Garages are always full" IMO2. Glad to hear about your heating. I've had cold feet for decades.
Here's to a great 2022!
Happy New Year! Great job on the soundproofing Elizabeth! It was nice to see you working with Dad. Your Dad is an awesome guy!
Enjoyed having your dad in the shop with you.
Have a happy, healthy, safe and prosperous new year.
Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, good to the very end,,,Nice to have had your Bride and Pop helping in the shop today, make life worth living (@@)! We too are in for a nasty cold snap, so stay warm there as well and Keep on Keeping on :)> Best to you 'all on a New Years Day,,Bear & Sammie.
Extra pair of hands is always welcome, skilled hands a dream come true 👍.
May I wish you and your family a safe and healthy New year 🙏
What an awesome video... captured this... good for my truck folder rebuilt mine still in the truck ... lasted 35 years first shot.. good to go another 30
Awesome job she did on the sound deadening just like that has to be stripped... was tough to get the tank back in no clearance between the back of the tank and back bed below the window
Made a hanging headliner... welding rod and some clips... not knowing anything and just tackling things ... once I got it planned in my head is the fun part... thanks for the tour
Thanks for watching 👍
Happy New Year to you and family🍸🍾🎊
What a treasure Elizabeth is, you lucky man, keep her happy!😂🤗
17:44
Perfect contact area on ring gear👏👍
Your family does NICE WORK
I love that type wood stove ...
I've been enjoying this series. Thank you so much for sharing this project with us.
Always enjoy when your dad stops by to help!
I look forward to the your video of truck recovery from the deep end of the mud hole…😃
HAPPY NEW YEAR ! I think you know how blessed you are Steve. Such a great family! I am lucky if I get any help at all, and always got evil looks when getting family to even help when bleeding brakes.
Always a pleasure watching you and your wonderful family . Happy New year 🎉! That pick up is going to better than new when completed .
Great work Steve, and it was lovely seeing you work with your Dad again and Elizabeth doing a terrific job on the soundproofing too. Enjoy your Mum and Dad while you have them, mine are both precious memories now, I sure wish I still had them around.
All the best for the coming year, - goodness knows how it will pan out with the Covid variants going gangbusters, I just hope that the increasing vaccination rates and new drugs may at some time bring it under some sort of control, at least to the point that we can enjoy a more normal kind of life. Happy new year to you all,
Happy New Year, Steve and Elizabeth and family! And to all the comment section as well!
Great work Steve. Nice to see the old man helping out. I enjoy having my dad help me out with stuff. He helped me put the new floor in my new shed. He's on video too! Happy new year to you and the family. Regards from Ireland.
A easier way to install the seals would be to make a rod long enough to go through the axle tubes and bolt onto a seal drive plate. allows you to hit the seal evenly. Just an idea.
ENJOY every moment of your father. Happy New Year 2022 all the way from San Antonio, TEXAS!
Definintely sound proof the roof, that will help a lot.
Look at that smile on your dad's face. That was a great video of your dad and Liz helping out. You are a lucky man. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Glad the shop is working out like you hoped it would.
Happy New Year Steve and family. That's going to be one dandy truck when it's done. Can't wait to see it on the road. Nice to have the quality assistant helping.
Hey Steve before you get stuck now you'll get really stuck great job.JM
Steve, your apple didn't fall far from your father's tree. Happy New Year!
Thank you for a great year of video's, Best to you and yours.
Do you ever do a Randy "The Macho Man" Savage impersonation while talking to your wife? "Oh yeah, Mrs. Elizabeth. We are going to put this truck together and I am going to take you for a ride. Yeah!" "You know what I mean, Gene Okerlund?" "YEAH!"
Nice to see your father too. It always is nice to get to work on a project with your father. As we get older and have so much going on in so many directions, it is rare that we get to involve other family members like our parents in our daily lives. Some of us no longer have the luxury. So it is nice when you get to have it.
Thanks for the videos.
Happy New Year, Steve, Elizabeth and family.
If you ever go too far with the pinion pre-load torque you can simply add a shim washer behind (or in front) the crush tube and go at it again.
Happy New Year, hope your family Christmas was awesome! It may be that that axle saw some action through swampy ground, but, as it was ex-Military my guess is that it was over-zealous use of a pressure washer at maintenance time which forced water beyond the pinion seal and past the breather tubes.
Man. You're gonna have to start listing your music selections. Nice work picking them. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Yep! we were - 21F degrees last night(-47 f windchill in C. ND) ...Thanks for the AXLE and truck videos!.Happy new year!
