DIY COE, Scrap Parts Used To Make A Cab Over Engine. With Tracks.

- Опубліковано 4 лис 2022
- I've finally got a direction to go with my next half-track build. I take my WWII M15A1 chassis, and put a pickup body on it, It doesn't fit, so I turn it into a COE configuration, where the cab goes over the engine.

“Since this looks like the least amount of work to install it, this is the exact right place to put it.” 100% embodies my appreciation of this channel ❤ Great project!
But once in a while he does under kill with the budget
"Smooth as a knobby tire." LMFAO. Brilliant truck!
Thanks!
The line between intelligent and crazy appears to blurr before revealing, a masterpiece!
The best part is you could make this road legal
I know of a guy in the Netherlands that makes rubber tracks for these that are road legal and don't chew it up
@@jacobjohns6047 is it by chance De Beule?
@@rapcreeperproductions3269 ya actually haha an elderly friend of my fathers was restoring a half track but didn't have access to the internet so my father ended up arranging the purchase and transport
@@jacobjohns6047 the M3 half-track is my dream vehicle. I did plenty of digging
@@rapcreeperproductions3269 if only I had the money id love too i just stick with the MBs more in my price range lol the guy we were getting the tracks for had a collection of over 150 vehicles he restored and had donated to the royal Canadian military museum when he passed.
I wouldn't even know where to begin on a project like this. I have lots of respect for your fab skills and creativity. I always look forward to your videos
sure you would
Thank you!
@@LowBuckGarage i would of cut the back of the fender off,to before the w/well,,then re located the hood hinge,,so still have a std fenderishy.
Super cool! Club COE half track! Yes it really does need a 12V Cummins….that badge was a sign!
A deck of cards also works good to protect the tire from overspray when painting rims
Just paint the wheels before getting new tires. No worry about overspray.
I follow your projects and really like how you always think "outside the box", crazy ideas that work!👍👍👍
Thanks, glad you like them!
That truck looks rad, great job
Great work there , Half bad is a good name for it , thanks for sharing 👍
Looks like a good start for offroad recoveries...
This man is my spirit animal
Your channel is gaining traction. No pun intended.
If Dodge made an LCF in this design it wouldn't look too much different. Great work!
Thank you!
@@LowBuckGarage
Would love to visit someday, there is a Coleman like yours up here in nor-cal, I want to get it and it's good to use yours for reference. I also have an M38A1 here as well, great for moving our Antonov AN-2 while it was here.
Keep up the good work!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS BUILD! HELL YA BROTHER!
I think this channel is going to blow up very soon, when it does please don’t change your awesome dry humour😂😂🎉🎉🎉
I love it. It looks great.
Thank you!
The best make do with what you got channel on the web!!! Admire the ingenuity!!!!
Thank you, I sure appreciate that!
Proof that with a vision, sawzall and a welder, anything is possible
This channel is extremely underrated. I would definitely buy shares of this one. They will increase in value drastically. I love your channel. Greetings from little old Switzerland.
Thanks, I sure appreciate that!
That is cool we like it and will be waiting Simi patiently.
Central California watching
Sawzall and 2 pound hammer. perfect body work. Love it.
man what an awesome idea you came up with, an you ran with it an look what you have there now :D the only one in the world.
I like the Dodge half track it's an awesome vehicle you're making
I'm a strong believer in the "good enuff" school of bodgery and like your approach to problem solving. Your project is going fine and looks great. Looking forward to the next episode.
I’m really excited to see this finished!
I love the idea of the metal band you used painting wheel
Can't argue with results
I gotta say that truck looks awesome and is coming along quite nicely👍
Thank you!
It looks just fine don't worry about the neighbours!
How lucky can you be to just be "experimenting" with wheels and tires... And the lug size and patterns all fit.
That's the good thing about these medium duty trucks, they almost all use Budd wheels, so its an easy pattern to find!
The way the ground is prepping the panel for paint as you hammer the dents out is next level genius. Thank you, sir love the channel.
Dude this down right cool, in fact beyond cool! Commentary is hilarious though spot on true. Blessings and respect!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
After all that you turned a piece (lots of pieces) of scrap into a good looking off-road truck. Well done.
Thanks!
I like it....a lot! One of my buds had his very own WWII half track in the late '60's and we had some kinda fun with that baby, so this build is awesome on several levels. Much respect!
Thank you!
a deck of playing cards crammed in between the rim and tire all the way around is the easiest way to mask rims for painting i know of. "when you're building a frankenstein truck, you wanna see the scars." makes sense to me. i like the stitch look with zip ties on cracked plastic, so i can understand the aesthetic value.
i just found this channel today and i must say, you do some awesome stuff. I subbed.
He makes such good videos. I found it about a year ago and I’ve watched almost every video
@@jarednichs3450 yeah its very cool stuff. Can't believe ive been missing out.
From the side it looks like an International Harvester ;-)
Great video! Awesome project! Can’t wait to see it driving.
Thank you!
Good video! I like your approach, it’s fun to watch. Keep it up👍🏼
Thank you, there's a lot more coming!
A big hello from Nova Scotia , this is becoming my favorite build by far
Awesome job
Thank you!
Man, those front fenders look classy! I can't believe you worked the wheel well lip in there!!!!!!
I like how you got the nose to fit. Looks pretty good for recycled parts done on the cheap!
Thanks!
You have the coolest toys !!!
Hands down best thumb nail.
Absolutely amazing....To much fun ..I hope your nearest neighbor is far far away. 😊😊😊😊
I've watched your videos for over a year or so, enjoy every one of them you get to have to much fun lol keep the videos coming , have good day from North Dakota !!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I really like the stubby look and I've always thought they should make half tracks again they would be handy for farmers
Due to the increased cost not enough people would buy them, especially when you can just buy mattracks to put on something you already own if you really need tracks.
@@Devin_Stromgren cost really isn't a issue longevity is most farmers would pay more for something that doesn't need constant maintenance and on a farm maxtracks wouldn't constant maintenance but big companies don't make money selling thing that last a few generations . My mom still has my grandmother's washing machine from the 40's still works well.
@@aaronmcconnell7358 When I said cost, I was including the cost of repair and maintenance, not just initial cost. I'm well aware of the realities of farming being a farmer myself. Tracks are high maintenance compared to wheels no matter who made them or when.
That's so far an excellent eyechrometer you have there!!!!😁😁😉😉 OH gosh I just noticed your windmill extremely smart design vertical any breeze any time yes!!!
Great episode! Love this project!
Thank you!
Way to keep the legendary first gen cab out of the scrap yard. It kills me how so many people kill these first gens just for the engine😭. As someone who loves first gen Cummins and has been restoring one since march I appreciate seeing a cab go to good use
I am a fan of this guy.
My grandfather has only ever owned that face-lift of those trucks. They bring back nostalgia for me. Cheers 🍻
Woah, Frankentrack is looking pretty good. Get 10ft away from it, adjust your squint-o-meter and it'll look like it was meant to be. I can't wait to see what madness you come up with for the back half.
Gosh I'd love to be able to build you a 6v71tta for this beautiful old girl!!!! Excellent build absolutely genius and excellent!!!
Always like these videos as there’s no other channel like it . Superb attitude and golden tips . “ some days i wish you could just turn off gravity “
As a lifelong MOPAR guy this is a real beautiful build .I put an M880 dodge cab on a unimog ,not as cool as this but a HOSS off road .keep these videos coming , eagerly wait to see each new episode . Greets from England
Professor of Fab, you Rock!
Super cool! Just the right look, and the colors look good too (I had reservations about those until I saw the finished product). 🙂
Thanks, glad you liked it!
It’s looking like a beast! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Awesome project. Love it.
Thanks!
Awesome Build!
Thanks!
Awesome 👍 Almost like a track John Deere!👍🤩
Love it already! Take care & stay safe! Oh and continue to have fun!
Thank you! Will do!
Hi, man that has style! Many thanks .
Glad you like it!
Awesome job James! 😁👍 I like where you're going with this build! I'm with you, it's also my least favorite grill *but* it looks good on there. Keep at it 🔧
Thanks! Glad to know I'm not the only one that didn't like that grill, so I guess the solution for that front end is to make the truck really big...
This is the greatest thing I have ever seen
Amazing job. Going to be so awesome. Below the grill a louvred metal piece would also look perfect
Thanks!
Well Done! Really enjoyed this upload!
Thank you!
This is turning into my favorite project of yours
5:59 My understanding is those HF shit stands were safer with a heavy load on them than when they were lightly loaded, that someone working on a Miata was more likely to have them fail than someone working on...say, the nose end a half track. The issue was in the pawl design where you could bump it off of the ratchet in there with a load on it, which isn't as likely to happen with a heavier load.
I still wouldn't use them myself, but this isn't the worst time for them.
You did fine of making the fenders and hood looks a factory job paint looks good
Iwas working with a older gentleman and after finishing he came over and showed what he was talking he told that he believed in using
The right amount of force the first time he told my easier and faster so now i always rember the bigger hammer that one little lesson has saved me countless hours
HAVE A GOOD DAY
THE GRUMPY BUS
Awe youtube. 360p still. I'll wait a few. Takes it a bit sometimes.
Hey Low Buck Garage, when are we gonna see more of this vehicle? I'm so keen for more, I think this project is so unique and has so much potential! Especially with what you can put on the back of the chassis. Can't wait to see more! Love your channel! 🇦🇺
great job , looks good , great fab job .
Thank you!
A work of art..Beautiful!
So pure and sincere. One of my favorite channels.
Loved this video! Very crearive work and your humor is infectious.
You're so much fun to watch man! Having fun w/ it and not taking anything too seriously. Great stuff!
That thing is going to be cool.
Love it. Your paint choice was spot on
Looks brilliant
So glad I stumbled on your channel, keep up the awesome projects
Thanks Man, I EnJoyed the Crap out of this video. I Can't wait til the NEXT PART (2) of this Build👍
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Enjoy your craftsmanship and style. A neutered ram/goat is a buck- Buckenstein
how does this channel not have 600,000 subs and 150-300,000 views per video?????????
Love your videos. Very creative with some genius thrown in.
This is the first video I've ever seen from you, and I love it.
Can't wait to see where this project ends up
Nicely done!
Great video. I am so glad that you leveled up that cab before the end of this video as it was beginning to make my OCD twitchy.
Your videos make me happy :) Thanks!
Thanks, glad you like them!
So far, I like it ! Good fun project !
You do nice work, and it turns out looking like it belongs . Congratulations Stu in Canada........
Started watching this while I was eating breakfast because I needed something entertaining before I go out and crawl back under my 95 Nissan 4 x 4 project. It’s been a pain in the ass with pre-bent exhaust that didn’t lineup, a brand new water pump that once installed the clutch fan no longer fits. Having to remove the front differential just to take the engine out because it had an oil leak on the rear of the oil pan. You can’t remove the oil pan because of the axle, you can’t remove the front differential because the oil pans in the way. One of the front crossmembers that hold the differential in can’t be removed straight down (which any normal, same person would do) because they installed the bolts at the factory, then bolt of the lower control arm on over them and on and on. 🤬 Yeah, several things got cut in order to make the removal Easier.
I chuckled several times during this video. Thanks that’s what I needed. now back out to work on Sir costsalot
Simply great.
Thanks!
Heck This is Red Neck FUN! Great ride!!!
Thing looks amazing
Very clever, great content again, please keep making the vids
Thanks, will do!
Low-Buck Garage is my favorite channel to live vicariously through ! I'm so glad I found it 😌!
Thank you!
You're a master of the "fabri-cobble" method and fun to listen to as well.
