- On this episode of Make It Kustom, I introduce a new Build to the shop. The Make It Kustom Hauler is a 1971 Gmc retired firetruck ive been holding onto for a number of years. Elio and myself are prepping the 1 ton chassis for the cab swap.
Halfass Kustoms Collaboration
Brent is a talented Builder/UA-camr from Manitoba. I have him to thank for Make It Kustom's first shout out on UA-cam! I've been a fan of his channel for years. At the end of this month, Brent will and I will work together on this project side by side getting as much done as we can with the goal of running and driving this truck at the end of his stay.

Having been a heavy truck mechanic for over 40 years I'm really looking forward to this build! I'm sure you want to remain with IFS, but if you chose to use a beam axle it would be easy to widen the front end without changing the frame width significantly. Just a thought. Looking forward to the next video and have already alerted several friends to the build. They are now subscribers too!
Same thoughts I had, your'a good thinker! 😜
Better off and much easier build go back to the original frame!!! Get ahold of Ian Roussel he can steer you in the right direction for the build your wanting to make this into!!!
@@johnheard2814 Yes, it was stupid not keeping the original .
I agree also its gonna have to have a straight axle. Probably need some really big wheels also
With Brent there I would nt put it past them to narrow the cab😆
The long wait is over.... Ive been iching to see this project since you show it first....its gonna be rad😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Cool build. I always thought about one of these builds. I always looked at school busses for a frame and suspension. Some are cab over design and have a wider track wide. The frames are straight and long so wheel base is unlimited. Thr steering box your after is from a step van or just a chevy van. They have a different box setup then a pickup. Going be cool Brent is in on the build. Right guy for a fast build. Watch both you guys religiously. Can't wait till the next one
Yeah a school bus would be pretty amazing there’s so many possibilities keeping some room in the front for storage or sleeper or slightly camperized! I think this frame is too narrow man LOL there are better chassis out there
@@MakeItKustom that's fun part of project. Figuring it all out.
Wow eyes bugging out. Fantastic project. And including Brent.. kool guy !
What would look good is a set of super singles like what Brent runs on his General crew cab truck. Going to be an awesome collab!
I was going to say the same thing. It would help fill those wheel wells, that's for sure.
I think the C30 frame or whatever it is might be a touch too narrow for that beast of a cab
YESSSS!!!!! SOOOO Excited for this one. Thanks guys
Love it. But this width issue doesn't just affect your steering. Having such a narrow chassis with so much side over hang is likely going to make it feel super unstable with a lot of body roll around the corners, especially if on air ride. I would honestly consider making new cross-members and widening the chassis to improve stability.
Cab and chassis chassis are 34" wide. That's industry standard.
I agree with Carport. Mind you, if there’s two tonnes of haul on it, it’ll be even worse. And looking at the design, that weight won’t be sitting low center either.
Semi trucks that haul 80,000 pounds are build on a 34" wide frame....
@@danpoole9327 what's your point? Semi trucks have more rigid frames and are built for the added weight, torsion etc. Regardless of whatever point you're trying to make, widening the chassis will improve stability.
@@carportkustoms5764 He's trying to muffle you. :)
Looks like an interesting build and now the “Half Ass” is joining the build……this will be epic………👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Been following Brent for years and just picked up your channel. How amazing you guys are working together on this one!
I found this channel through Brent he gave Karl a shout out and glad he did because Karl does some amazing work and learn a lot from both of them. Bad Chad to he. Work's fast, a lot of people don't like his work but he gets stuff done and fast.
Brent will definitely be a plus for your build! I've watched so many of his videos and wow what a builder of anything! North Carolina USA
I love to watch Brett work you can learn so much from that guy
Yeah I can’t wait to work with him!
Love this stuff !!! Thanks Karl 👍👊😎
Karl this is gonna be interesting seeing you and Brent working together on a project. I following Brent and it is amazing how he does things. Watched him build his General. Can't wait to see the project finished.
Hey boys it’s just a thought don’t forget it’s got to go under the roller door on the way out also halfass is one of the best 🇦🇺👍
Two of my favorite builders working together -- this will be epic for sure!!
My two fave youtubers collab to build an awesome rig, can't wait follow this one
..spent my childhood helping my grandpa in a truck like this, tons of great memories, same color too!
No way? That’s pretty cool! Such a neat looking trucks back then
DD SPEED SHOP mounted a winch to the floor of his shop and it seems brilliant for towing in all the heaps to work on.
Three minutes into the video and I'm already hammering the like button! Can't wait to see this collab with Brent.
Can’t wait to see this one when finished!
Stuck break drums? Zip wheel and an air hammer. Take er apart in chunks. Pretty quick that way.
Awesome collaboration! I've been amazed and motivated by watching Halfass Kustoms for the last few years. The amount of work he gets done while also having a full time job is mind blowing.
Right?! I’m blown away as well LOL he’s a different breed
The guy doesn't sleep!!!
Truly................................................................Awesome.....................................................Project.
Will be great to see you & Brent collaborate on this build. It will be like his build of 'The General - but on Steroids'. 👍👍
Can’t wAit to see this progression take place I’d imagine that you’ll widen the chassis for stability don’t you think? This is a fantastic project!! Can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
Had the same idea🙃
You’re definitely correct that it is not wide enough. I think we are going a different way
I started watching these videos awhile back and just realized I live 3 doors down the street from this shop. Lol can’t wait to follow the progress
COE, ramp truck and air ride checks all the boxes! Stoked to see how this one comes out
The motor home chassis is a great idea accomplishing what you need and leaving the one ton chassis for a future project.
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out... Its gonna be super slick! Too bad you couldn't find yourself an old motorhome and snag the chassis out from under it. It would solve the width and steering box issue, would locate the engine about where you want it, you wouldn't have to lengthen the chassis, and lastly, it would have the dual wheel axle setup as well which is really what ya want for a hauler. Best part.. You can get a clapped out motorhome for next to nothing and they are pretty easy to source. Just me brainstorming. 🙂
I have a one ton Winebago motor home frame and it's exactly what Karl has there.
I think James is talking class a motorhome.
Yeah I definitely agree that there are better Chassis out there to start with. I think we have to make that decision
Enjoyed this video!!!! Im excited to see how this build takes shape!!!!! I will be watching!!!
This is going to be a great project!
I have a 68 c40 in decent shape ran when I bought three years this is exactly what we want to do .thanks for these builds inspired for sure
Where's the Caddy? Was looking forward to that one!
Such a cool build! Can't wait for the colab with Halfass Customs!!
Well my two worlds just collided 😂. Been watching both of you from the start. I honestly fill my nights with both of your channels! I’m so down for this project, and collaboration. This is going to be killer
This is too cool! These two are the best.
Right on Adam! Yeah I’m pretty excited to get to work with Brent for a whole week! I feel like we can probably bang a lot of work out.
Yes, this new project is really interesting. Lets go.
Bruno from France.
The rendering looks sweet... I'm not quite sure how you're going to get that little toy chassis to match and look anything like it though lol.
Are you sure you aren't going to regret getting rid of the original chassis that actually kinda slightly looked somewhat Exactly like the perfect dimensions because it was... you know.... Designed that way?
Although that would probably be too easy for you lmao
I thought the same thing. The weight on the front axle exceeds what the one ton can carry, even with air suspension. The cab will have to be cut to fit the frame.
Yep what I would have done as well but we'll wait & see how it pans out.
OG chassis looked good and only 15k miles. Drop twin turbo LS in that puppy. Boom.
Mad to see you collabing with Brent. I love his channel . . . new to yours tho so we will see but if your a pal of his I am sold!
Cool build, I built a ramp body car hauler on a f600 chassis. Those 1 ton frames really aren’t heavy duty enough to handle the weight of a full sized car, if you stick with a little hot rod you should be fine, also brakes aren’t really up to the task, plus stretching the frame makes the turning radius horrible. I know people do it, but when I built mine I wanted to drive cross country with no problems.
I think he's trying to use sentimental value of his dads trucks into the build ,If he boxes the frame it should be fine. I'm sure if you spend some coin you could up grade the rotors,calipers and drums.
WOW now that's a cab! Awesome guy's!!
Yes Si 👍 thank you, it's going to be a badass 🐺🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷💥🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
This is an AWESOME project - so much cooler than the average bolt-on special. Really excited to see where you take this and whether you'll put any custom aesthetic touches on the styling?!
Yeah I’m pretty open to ideas on that I think that the light bar will be coming off of it as well as the search Lights. Definitely going to add as much style into the bed as possible. Also will be building a custom front bumper
@@MakeItKustom Nice! Hopefully those hideous mirrors will be coming off?!?
With the light bar coming off, it's really going to change the shape of the cab - flattening it quite a bit and making it look quite boxy. Custom fabbed mirrors could either allow you to really double down on the squareness or add some contrasting curves maybe?
The custom bed sounds really cool - the roof overhang behind the cab could be something really cool to play with too. A place to build in a custom toolbox and wich housing, maybe more?
Yup Awesome 👍
Heres another option , split the cab through the center, make it fit the chassis. But personally I would widen the chassis
John from Sweden here. I am in to restore old vehicles as well but as an amateur. I’ve watched all of your videos and I love every one of them. This one is going to be really interesting. Keep up the good work!
Yes Yes Yes looking forward to every video you do on this Beauty!!
This just Might Be an EPIC collaboration here !!
Get Busy Guy's
I had 84 Monaco camper, original 454 with 48k miles, a p-10,? The cab forward steering was interesting it was cheap, I even raised my kids in it for a bit... A coe cab and a airstream trailer mounted, to make 50s dinner/food truck. Was a old dream..
Love the content...
Now I'm a traveling car salesman..
This is so cool! TWO of my favorite Canadian car channels working together! Whoo-hoo! Monster build.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that plays musical shop a lot😆🤣😂🤗
Think with Brent’s Fabrication and yours. It’s going to be a awesome rig. Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome, Low milage truck, Far out!
Sweet! Can't wait to see this hauler finished with the baby Buick on the back!!
I love what u do Karl! Weight distribution will be a problem. If the engine is to far back the truck will not want to turn under load.
I watch both of your channels and this is going to be fun to watch , kick ass you guys are the best on UA-cam.
The term for the relationship between wheel centerline and balljoint/ spindle pivot axis is "Scrub radius".
This thing is SICK.
"This cab is rusted out; it's toast!"
Kyle @Carter'sAutoRestyling
"Hold my Moulson. . ."
Yeah man he can make anything!
Karl, you will be fabricating mostly all new crossmembers for the frame anyway, why not widen it ? You would have more room to tuck the engine between the frame rails.
Another thing to consider is custom A arms for the front suspension, you could make them wider and have more room for the airbags....
Awesome design idea. Can't wait to watch the transformation
Oh this has to be the best collaboration on UA-cam by far!
Guy's this was really a fun video you made me laugh so much. I know that you will get this build looking good. Thanks for sharing this good times video
Put The Back Wheel In The Front And The Front Wheel In The Back With The Other Dulley Wheel And It'll Look Right!!!
Keep Rocking!!!
G'day mate awesome..you and Ellie work well together so adding Brent for some more flavour will be epic brother 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hey guys, I been in the Towing industry & truck mechanic most of my life & I cant wait to see how this turns out... looking forward to some halfass additions, My thought would be cut 6inchs out of the center of the cab(skinnyize it) & join it back together or cut & shut as we in Australia call it maybe lower the roof by a couple inchs too just to smooth out the look...just a thought 😉
Nice jobs Carl 👍. I can't wait to see what next step to custom chassis install the engine, suspension and everything nice fit on that fireman truck..
Oh man! My two favorite Canadians are going to co-lab on a build! Sensory overload Dude! Looking forward to this build for sure!
So cool to watch 2 brothers in sync!
Hell ya!!!!
H I Karl.
Great content and work .
Really looking forward to you and Brent working together on this one will be a great show and build .
Two completely different styles and great ideas.
Also like to add you two do the best videos I find informative and interesting.
Alan hicks 🇬🇧
I drove a Rescue vehicle with that exact same cab with a 6V92TA diesel. It was a screamer!
This should be really good. Collaboration with Brent 👍
Great; Cant wait to see you guys get started when Brent gets over to your garage. Nice to meet you people, peace & much success !
Regards from 🇧🇷
As always will do the things looks amazing, something very big coming,good luck
Straight axle in the front, step notch rear and front. Mad freak street build.
Hands down my favorite channel on UA-cam. I always look forward to these videos. Thank you so much for what you do!
Oh i know after 3 minuts of the video im gonna love this project 😎😎🤘🏻🤘🏻
Very cool build ! Way to keep us watching Karl!! Probably not the only subscriber that would like to see your brothers Chevy truck BBQ when he gets it done!
Looking forward to seeing this & Brent from Halfass kustoms he definitely has skillz
Great to see you and Brent working together. I have followed Halfass since his day 1 as I have with you. The fab dream team ...... let's goooooooo! i
This build with Brent will be completely epic. I hope you can spread the footage out in several videos so we can see as much of the details as possible. As always thanks for sharing your skills
I kept seeing the cabover in your videos hoping you would build it. I'm excited to watch and I'm sure it will be SO COOL!
keep it rolling cant wait to see, I live in one I converted adding to a 80s g30 box truck chasse
Looking forward to seeing what your do, i think we know but its going to be fun to watch...hi from the UK.
This is gonna be beautiful where is Christina and her Cadillac? Haven’t seen that in a while
Came to ask the same question
Love this new project Can't wait for the next video
Looking forward to this build. I have a 1964 Ford N600 that I have been wanting to make a ramp truck out of. I'll be watching for ideas to steal from you!!
G'day mate awesome dude been waiting for this one ever since you first showed us ages ago ..cool to have Brent in as well top channel he has there ..man I'm glued to this one buddy ..thanks 🙏🙏👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I found this channel through Brent, you're right he's an animal when it comes to building a project.
Karl its your channel and its great we are just along for the ride :) do your thing ... but more :)
Looking forward to this one👍🏿
Karl I was always wondering about the cabover wow that would be a amazing build .....ITS FINALLY HAPPENING...lol..😆👍🙏
looking forward to watching you build it up .
I love it. This is going to be a hoot to follow.
Definitely a.. Ambitious project. Yeah, that's a perfect description. Let's dig in lol 👍🍻
When it comes to LS swaps Brent's the guy that's for sure. Also the way he does things in his mind just figures out problems so fast and makes things work, glad to see a collaboration. One thing I can tell you just by looking at it you're right about how it looks and trying to make your rims come out further than they really are either you are going to have to widen the frame, which is doable and will make things look the right way cuz you surely don't want to narrow the body. Not a 16,000-mile cabover in that kind of condition. Although that's what it's all about right making it custom. I believe widening the frame would probably do you justice and a set of duals on the back, anyway it's going to be one cool build. Anyway good luck with the build guys!
Nice to see that cab getting love. Maybe split the front crossmember and widen it? My buddy narrowed a Jag front end and put it under a 50 Chevy fastback. Just a thought. This build is gonna be killer!
What a cool project . Wish I was there wrenching with you . 👍
This will be awesome. I’m using a 51 Ford cab with a sleeper attached to it to make a car hauler. Can’t wait to see what you do.
Your officially crazy Karl, and I like it!👍❤️🇨🇦
Everyone should have a wedge car hauler.
good call brent iv been watching your cab standing out there thinking wow thats going to be a good project
Can’t wait to see it finished
I saw this truck cab and waited
