I was laughing. How does JH not know that EVERYONE in the comments section could do ANY job that exists faster than anyone else. He is so lucky to have so many experts here watching and commenting on videos.
Up north we use hockey pucks for 1" body lifts. I've never seen one fail. I'm a 100% Ford man, but I'm really excited to see the crew cab coming together
I like the way you put that if you can’t do it without help by yourself please don’t apply. I’m a heavy diesel technician and you have to be self sufficient or you’re never going to last. I was lucky enough to grow up in a family of technicians though. Great content as usual! Can’t wait to see the finished trucks!
I like how easily you guys could cut the video and edit, but you leave the mistakes in as you make them, because lord knows we all do lol, just so real, love it!
I don't know about down there, but up here in Minnesota, a PERFECT 1" body lift is achieved with actual hockey pucks. Drill the size hole you need and BAM!!! Solid rubber mounts, perfectly 1" thick.
wishing yall some luck finding a good tech i am certified diesel tech. now i do the easy stuff and work on mercedes benz its very hard to find good help we are slowly getting some good ones in our shop. but like the stuff you do and is why i got into the trade 30 yr now and still love it as was my first day.
Excellent video. I highly encourage everybody in North America to support their small businesses, because whether you like it or not we may all be supporting small businesses once again sooner than you think. I would buy a motorcycle a year from that man, and the big Outdoor Sports Polaris dealership down the street can kick rocks until its feet are bloody. The thing is you can't go to Polaris and buy a pile of parts and have somebody help you through building your own complete ab0rtion of a machine, and at that shop that you're standing in..... you can💯
JH I love this build. I'm in the process of finishing my 93 k3500 dually crew cab that I installed a LLY/ZF6 4x4. I think it would be cool to get together with your truck and mine. Keep it rollin
Cross member should have sat on inside of frame rails for the most support. Right now the trans and tcase load will just be on them 4 bolts. Just my thought tho.
If you have to lose that AC box you should give Vintage Air a call they have a Slimline for that truck that mounts flush with the firewall and is cold as heck I just installed one in an 88 C 2500 super easy high quality product
16:35 for that cross member I recommend 2x6 3/8thick box tube. I just built one for a Cummins/46rh swapped squarebody using a horseshoe style t case mount and it’s the strongest cross member on the whole truck lol. It makes the Cummins swap cross member look weak af! Yours looks factory, I like it! I had to
2:20 local shop in town took 4 months to do a transmission on an F150, $183 primary drive clutch pack 3 week shipping time 48... 4 months later, the AC doesn't work. so now on the acreage, the thunderbird car gets a 3208 CAT... work day 7 and its going in on 8. frame drop kit, strut cut and push over, 5speed CAT reconfiguration, steering rack extension etc. front push bar extension bumper and light's relocation brackets... have to source a front 3.93 gear AAM axle somewhere... find something eventually, one day a week worked for the last 3 weeks. mount the AC compressor to it... TRAR CAT car and the doors open to a seat height that takes a 90 degree pivot and lean over... 😐 entry exam is make something work out of the pile out back? adds to pile...
Yea buddy. I got most the stuff to do my 3+3. Dmax. Got harness and all. But i think im going with the 2008 frame . since mine is a 2wd . And i do sas all the time just thinking it will be easier.
I really think you should do a Sima build on that square. Bobby, you have not done one in quite some years. I would like to see one, and I've seen that build. I have not seen you in a while. I'll do the truck polls either. So I would like to see you do to mud truck pulls. I would love to see you bring this back
Enjoy your content JH, good luck finding employees with a non conditioned shop in Florida. Zack almost went postal on George by not getting aircon. Maybe you will read this, but they have solar powered air on units that you would find pretty effective to run cost wise.
If no one can really train new people of course there won’t be many new people able to do it. I definitely understand it’s a time and cost commitment to train people but while the older guys are phasing out not many people are getting trained to replace them.
I'm 50. I've built many cars. I can do everything. My first car was diesel! Back in 1990. When diesel was poison! I just want a house and excessive rates of pay! I'll be the LS George for you! I want my own shirt as well! Willing to travel. But only up to 14000 km.
If you have some tubing and some angle iron you could build a flush mounted transmission support. Please don't mount it to the bottom of the frame you want to keep that sleek look.
Not knocking you Justin but that’s the entire job market nobody wants to train anyone and just expects you to pull experience out magically from your behind 😂. Square body looking good
I may be wrong, I was always taught to always have bolts facing down. So in the off chance that something came loose, the bolts would have a chance to stay in place even if the nuts came off
Id put in my resume because I have my 2 year degree in diesel tech but being a 20 year old I bet I don’t have the skills yet. Good luck hunting for one Justin!
If you can tear a motor apart and put it back together and get it to run in a timely manner apply exactly you won’t get anywhere not trying worse that happens u don’t get job
We been looking for a good diesel mechanic here in Canada for the last 4 years lots of people interested but like you said not to many people that can actually do the job by them selfs good luck finding someone and once ya do make sure to pay them well bc we ain’t getting any new mechanics out there
That's because nobody wants to teach them right out of school and you should have 20 years of experience everywhere you apply, the industry is sadly digging it's own grave
@@svenngunnarrustgard1228 we are willing to teach new techs but sadly in this area no one wants to do hard labour any new techs you hire to teach end up showing up late or calling of sick 2 days a week
Gotta love a clean square body. I want to work on my dad's. He custom ordered it on 1983 it's a Custom delux k20 3/4 ton truck on a 1 ton suspension. He did that to avoid the catalytic converter he said. It's been a farm truck so it needs all the body work. I want to put an ls in front of the sm465 and repaint the 2 tone midnight blue white top. It's going to be sharp
Justin I have a serious question to ask. Most likely won’t read this but it’s worth a shot. I’m a professional atvmx racer and I need some support for my upcoming season ik your a small shop and don’t have a lot of extra money to spend but even if you could come to a race or 2 and just film it and get the sport out there it would be amazing
I’d love to come work for you but I don’t want move back to Florida! You guys do make me miss it down there but I’m not a fan of the housing development takeovers. Pisses me off someone is trying to buy up holopaw land as well. Good luck finding someone.
I wish you the best in finding the right employees for your business. Sending good vibes from Canada!

Man , I can't wait to see this square body to run. It always got a lot of looks from me every time I opened my box. Justin you are doing a great job.
I love the look of an old square body Chevy especially one that’s getting a duramax swap! Love the truck.
I like how easily you guys could cut the video and edit, but you leave the mistakes in as you make them, because lord knows we all do lol, just so real, love it!
This channel is slept on definitely deserves more views
Most underrated diesel channel on UA-cam !
Love the channel my man! Don't argue with the install guy. He's there for you!
I don't know about down there, but up here in Minnesota, a PERFECT 1" body lift is achieved with actual hockey pucks. Drill the size hole you need and BAM!!! Solid rubber mounts, perfectly 1" thick.
I agree, definitely Allison transmission with Duramax engine. Great powerhouse combo.

JH and the crew, killing it lately, good luck to you finding the right tool for the job. Loving this engine and trans combo

Awesome build it's looking damn good!
Let's go JH respect to you and Justin watching from England keep living your best life's one hell of a team
For the crew cabs the floor is low bump or high bump, doesn’t matter on 2wd or 4wd 👌
Sweet dude...well done on the cross member bro..going to be awesome
JH I love this build. I'm in the process of finishing my 93 k3500 dually crew cab that I installed a LLY/ZF6 4x4. I think it would be cool to get together with your truck and mine. Keep it rollin

Why did you mention building someone without any videos to show you building it?
@@eriklarson9137 I’m sure Jh will have a good picture in his head.
Can’t wait to see the finished project!
Ah square body content, almost as good as the intro the other day 😂😂😂
Once again, you guys drop on the same day and I gotta watch JH before Cletus 😂❤
Im doing the same, JH first!😂
Same here 🤣(sorry cleetus)
I’m starting a new trend. We love you, Cleet but our boys Justin and Justin I don’t know. There is just something about them, brother 😂

Always a good day when jh uploads a video
That's going to be a very cool truck.
Friend of mine is doing the same swap but on a 2wd dually. Bad ass rig
Looks good brother 👌
man i wish i lived closer finding a real truck shop with your guys capability is far and few
You should look into hiring a recent grad from a Diesel trade school...
Guess you don’t have a steel toe policy… Love the crocs
Gonna have me start filming videos too with how good the duramax series is going!! Damn i wish mine had half this traction even after i finished it!
What happened to cleet n squirrel 😂😂
They had to bump the intelligence level up a little
Hired 'n' fired under a minute!
They dont work on diesel stuff 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
They went out for icecream
Right im so passed they didn't make another video!!!
Heck of a job guys 💪😎🤘
You need a 208 square body cross member
Its a direct fit for the Allison trans mount
Every time I watch a video of welding, i don’t know if I should look away or keep watching 😂
I look away, lest the ghosts of teachers past collectively slap me.
I am betting you have tons of videos of you showing off your welding skills? No? Why not? You are on YT already, and have a phone with a camera so???
Can you swap a 2015 high country tan interior in there
I've watched so many, I must be immune to burnt eye-balls haha
Plate the ends of the crossmember & clean it up / paint, will look really nice!
It’s all good brother I read tape measures wrong as well.
J H I WILL GET YOU WITH MY NEPHEW HE DOES CUSTOM BUILDS ON HIS ON. And maintenance. On heavy equipment and diesel trucks.
Perfect timing since I just got fired this morning:)
hell yeah this is why i watch yall 🤟🤟
You better toss a 1" under the bed.. you got the micro squat going..🤣🤣
X member turned out pretty sweet..👍👍
Truck looking good boy's
This is just awesome.
I wish I could do something like that!
Hey guys loving the content but it would be a awesome to see you guys build a diesel drag race truck I think it would make some great videos 👍🏻
Oh man.... perfect trimming. Dinner an a video from yall
Yea buddy. I got most the stuff to do my 3+3. Dmax. Got harness and all. But i think im going with the 2008 frame . since mine is a 2wd . And i do sas all the time just thinking it will be easier.

The whole AC in the shop on cleetus channel is very clearly a running joke and they are going to get it lol
We've been looking for machinists for years. It sucks that we don't have the time to train also because that seems to be all we get.
If no one can really train new people of course there won’t be many new people able to do it. I definitely understand it’s a time and cost commitment to train people but while the older guys are phasing out not many people are getting trained to replace them.
Decent welds bud @ 18:11
Your boy seems to be a master. Admit a mistake but makes the shit work!
A big Whipple supercharger would be sweet on it!
3/4" ... Sledgehammer time!😂
I agree.
On a squarebody, 1" body lift is 6 hockey pucks.
Not to burst your bubble but hockey pucks aren’t just laying around in Florida like they do up north
@@parkermckowen3781 That is one reason it is disgusting that florida won the cup. No one plays hockey there......
@@notsofresh8563 I would bet less than 1% of the team is from Florida so...
@@parkermckowen3781There’s a Dicks Sporting Goods in Bradenton. They carry hockey pucks in stock.
I miss my Kodiak. With 4 tonnes of salt in the dump, she still used to spin all 4.
Shes ganna be a beast!!!

Not knocking you Justin but that’s the entire job market nobody wants to train anyone and just expects you to pull experience out magically from your behind 😂. Square body looking good
Out some one inch spacers for box. Easy as 11 2 3. With one or three more
Man I hope your gonna raise the box
Im pretty dang interested in relocating to the area.... ive got 20 years experience in the industry. Gimme a shout!
Good luck
I may be wrong, I was always taught to always have bolts facing down. So in the off chance that something came loose, the bolts would have a chance to stay in place even if the nuts came off
10k hr diesel equipment mechanic, i love to learn, please roast me so i can learn more stuff
I was sitting watching you cut that box off and weld the plate the whole time Im thinking it's gonna be too short!🤣
Put the 1inch aluminum body spacers from “Off road design”
Id put in my resume because I have my 2 year degree in diesel tech but being a 20 year old I bet I don’t have the skills yet. Good luck hunting for one Justin!
If your confident in your abilities then apply
You should apply anyway if he feels you don’t qualify he then so be it. But you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
Ambition (just freeking go for it) is what separates the successful from the couch potatoes. Do it.
If you can tear a motor apart and put it back together and get it to run in a timely manner apply exactly you won’t get anywhere not trying worse that happens u don’t get job
I also live across the country but i would do it to work with jh and the team
Hot daang, we got the Hevi brothers back in action!! 😂😂
Good luck.. good workers are hard to find.. I work at a JD shop in Nebraska and o boy we need help to

Justin for your burnout Truck do something different how about a supercharger into a big turbo?
Great content thanks for sharing
Nice work get it done brother lol
I can just imagine the calls and the emails you get from these so called backwoods diesel techs 😂
My high school aptitude test 42 years ago said I should probably be a diesel mechanic. When do I start?😎
You going to use a np205 transfer case or some nice billet unit? It’s going to be a nice upgrade with the duramax for sure though!!!

Vintage a/c has a good choice and you won't need that heater core/ac. Box
I would apply but man moving to south Florida would suck. I love the panhandle too much
I like SoFlo too but mannn there’s something about the panhandle. Just too good.
have you checked engine angle?
