Hey Jake, love watching the videos, look forward to the big hole conversion. Mark from Twin Sticks Garage has just done one on his Peterbuilt and made some mistakes, might be worth a look so you can learn from his, was mainly around the hole size. Thanks for your videos.
Sure does I’m happy with the engine she slobbers abit but I need to adjust the injectors and rack and give it a good run and it may clear up abit hopefully
Hi Jake, that big hole conversion should be an interesting watch for sure. Good that you’ve got the steering issue taken care of. Looks a bit different with the normal wheels on the front. Almost looks like that fuel tank is too far ahead the steering arm hits it when you turn the wheel all the way. Cleaning the yard should be interesting to watch you’ll be working on all sorts of equipment. Nice seeing the Kenworth again. Sounds like it’s pretty hot down there so try to stay cool
Hey mate thanks for watching! I still prefer the super singles on the front but I’ll take it out for a test with the standard wheels on and see how it goes. Yeah the fuel tank is probably a little too far foreward but the steering arm could also be moved forward a spline or two aswell. Thanks for watching mate hopefully I’ll have a few good videos up soon Cheers
Gday Jake, I’m glad these guys jumped on board with the cab and bunk parts, this will make the job a lot easier, we’ve had part from hydrosteer before and there service is fantastic, certainly no complaints there, keen to see the clean up job mate, great episode, cheers
Hey Matty, they were super helpful and had a good chat with them on the phone I’ve got it all sorted in my head I think. Yep hydrosteer are great lucky I’ve got about 4 other trucks that need power steering😂😉
Hey Jake,would have been fighting the steering box without the pump not working properly,A bit of strong arm steering,Will be interesting to see the yard clean up,great video as always,thanks
Keep up the great videos- it can take a while to get a channel up and running- but yours is great and I can’t wait for it to break through. Great to see more Aussie content!
That Kenny will be a treat to own and drive when it's all done up Jake !! I hope we'll get some video of the clean up you're doing on them yards ? Scrap yards are some of my favorite places ! Cheers, Ard
It sure will be, and it will be well worth the time and effort! Yep I’m gonna do some videos of in the yards and abit of the clean up process as I won’t have much time for any other content for a month or two!
Good job on that power steering cob, it's great when a business not only does a good job, but are helpful in the wat they go about it for you 👍 lookin forward to that yard clean up, incredible treasure in there 😋
A mate of mine has always said a good rule of thumb is the top of the drive tyres should be level with the top of the chassis, and the guards should have the boot threads out the top of the guards so they don’t dig into the tyres if you lose airbag ride height and need to drive anywhere plus set the guards with airbags deflated with 2” x 1” wood slat for good spacing from the tyres
I’m so glad the pump has sorted the steering issue mate! Had to be the pump but you always worry don’t you? Getting closer to pulling some weight with her😎 looking forward to what you pull out of that yard mate! Sounds like my kinda work🤙🏻 it’s never scrap just rusty treasure😂 keep’em coming Jake😎🤙🏻
Yep always in the back of your mind it could be somthing else but I’m glad it fixed it, although I’m disappointed I havnt been able to drive it since I fixed it! It should be a good job and plenty of content I think a lot of people will enjoy it! I agree I hate scrapping anything I just have to recover some of my costs so I can buy fuel😂
I’m looking forward to the big hole conversion too, be interesting to see how you get on because it’s something I’ve never had to do. We use a similar riveter to that Huck gun, but we just call it a lockbolt gun, huck must be the brand. Expensive tool though, especially the Milwaukee ones! I take it diesel is as ridiculous for you as it is us? We call it liquid gold 😂🙈 amazing how it’s changed over the last 25 years, was cheap as chips, now you have to squeeze every last drop out of the tank mad max style😂🤙🏻
Hey Jake when you do the interior of your truck there is a place here in America that makes all your interior panels carpet even the button tuck and it's very reasonable they math your factory color and everything give em a holler when your ready
Hey mate thanks for that, I gather that would be the day cab company? When I get up to it I might send them an email and see if they are interested in helping worst parts is the Aussie dollar and shipping cost! Cheers mate
Hey John I do apologise I’ve been very busy on this cleanup job, so sadly I havnt made any progress on the kenworth, and due to a few issues I can’t post any videos of the yard cleanup until it’s done, I’ve got a couple of weeks to go and I’ll be back in full swing! Cheers
If it still had the factory crawl through there’s no way I’d cut it out but the back wall of the cab and front wall of the bunk have already been cut out in the walkthrough shape so there really any down side to doing a big hole conversion
@@SootyDiesel81 it was a day cab from factory, they added the low line bunk and the “factory” way to do it would have been to remove the window and install a ring and boot but they cut down between the seats to make a walk through and it does the job but it’s not perfect. So that’s why I’ve gone this way I can put a new back wall in and huck the rings in, the front wall is half way cut out of the sleeper already from when they made it into a walk through so this is the cleanest way to go about it, the next video I will explain it from inside the bunk and it will make more sense why I’m doing it

Old girl sounds real good starts eazy bloody oath

Great tips mate! I will make sure that I set them up like that to avoid any issues
@@dieseldownunder. your welcome dude, if more people helped give good advice the world would be a better place
Awesome work mate. Looking forward to seeing your work👍

Twin sticks
Does that parts catalogue have Louisville stuff mate
Hey mate no only Pete stuff sorry
@@dieseldownunder.thanks👍
Hey Jake check out Twinn Sticks on UA-cam he just did the big hole conversion ..
Hey mate thankyou I’ve been keeping a close eye on him so I can learn how to go about it!
Cheers
Where are you hiding Jake? It’s been a while since we saw you?
Hey John I do apologise I’ve been very busy on this cleanup job, so sadly I havnt made any progress on the kenworth, and due to a few issues I can’t post any videos of the yard cleanup until it’s done, I’ve got a couple of weeks to go and I’ll be back in full swing!

@@dieseldownunder. you gotta make the cash 😀👍🏻
No not another big hole
If it still had the factory crawl through there’s no way I’d cut it out but the back wall of the cab and front wall of the bunk have already been cut out in the walkthrough shape so there really any down side to doing a big hole conversion
Oh was it a factory crawl through? That’s a shame they cut it
@@SootyDiesel81 it was a day cab from factory, they added the low line bunk and the “factory” way to do it would have been to remove the window and install a ring and boot but they cut down between the seats to make a walk through and it does the job but it’s not perfect.
So that’s why I’ve gone this way I can put a new back wall in and huck the rings in, the front wall is half way cut out of the sleeper already from when they made it into a walk through so this is the cleanest way to go about it, the next video I will explain it from inside the bunk and it will make more sense why I’m doing it
Call the Day cab company here in America they custom make factory interior
