Watching your videos has inspired me to take on projects that I am in no way qualified to do but I am going to try anyway because how else will I learn?
Yes! That's one of the best ways to learn! I also learned a LOT while I worked on this project 👍
@@WaldosWorld amazing work! Beautiful truck! And nice welds btw!
That's how seriously everybody starts. Get in over your head, and claw your way out. Either at 5 or 65, it's the only way to really learn.
Measure cut weld repeat. Sweat blood and tears
Hi, hey man, I have the same truck in my country, and I can't find the leaf springs, how can I find the original leaf springs, rear and front , for a GMC 1991 c3500hd?
Dude's literally a genius. Teaching himself to do all this stuff, and succeeding to that degree is beyond impressive.
You can learn anything on the internet.
Yale, Harvard, Princeton can’t teach you what the internet can! What they teach is how to not work with your hands, and still keep them pretty 😅
Haven't seen you in weeks, and we get 12 minutes! Stop rationing our Waldo time.
I have a Range Rover video that I've been working on since September. I just got the engine back in after some open heart surgery, so hopefully I'll have this video out next 👍
@@WaldosWorld You had surgery?! I hope you are well Waldo, you look to be a rather fit young man. Take all the time you need, and Godspeed.
@@TheRoadhammer379 pretty sure he meant the engine had open heart surgery
I’m continually impressed with how far this channel has come in such a short time, especially considering you’ve done most of it shade-tree style or in a barn with a dirt floor. The word awesome is over used but it certainly applies to you and what you’ve done here. Looking forward to what the future brings. 👊👍🏻
What happed to the trailer
Your channel is probably MY most anticipated viewing. I love the detailed commentary of the builds and the fact you're not afraid to try anything. I am hoping for some new content soon.
Thank you so much! 🤠
What's crazy to me is how being a mechanic, welder, fabricator isn't even your career and you picked it up so quickly and make it look easy
what was he doing?
What’s his actual career?!

Backing up the truck with a tractor and a 4x4 might be the coolest thing you've shown. Masterful.
It's fun to see all your work compressed down like this. Hard to believe it's 'done'!
Also looking forward to seeing that new-to-you S-Class!
Keep up the great work. Your channel is truly special and the effort you put in really goes a long way to stand out from the crowd. Excellent demeanor, presentation skills, and overall personality.
Can't wait for more.
Thank you so much!
The level of Genius and Ingenuity to pull something like this off is nothing short of Impressive....No multimillion dollars shop, $3-400,000.00 sets of tools, lifts, scanners, and other fancy Gizmos...Just basic ideas and knowledge...Bravo, Sir, Bravo...!!!! 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍!!!
Sir you are a man that has the most incredible talent I have ever seen in a long time, your fab skills are awesome, that truck turned out beautiful, stay awesome.!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
At first I saw the part of the title in the notification and was really excited for a Cummins swap update, then I saw that it is basically a recap of the whole project and I was admittedly a little disappointed because I was hoping for something new but then I realized this video is perfect to help me with something of a reality check... I'm planning out a project to take a used not running/barely running van, extend the frame, swap a medium to heavy duty pickup truck engine and transmission into it, redo the interior and possibly add a homemade bucket lift to it. Now on paper that sounds (at least to me) like a not easy but also not horribly complicated process but seeing this has given me some insights into what kind of work I would actually be getting myself into, in a small easy to digest video. Thanks for all the hard work and showing people that massive automotive projects are doable with enough time, and patience.
In case anyone is new here, the documented build of this truck on his channel is well worth the watch!
Easily my favorite video on the channel now. The fast-paced editing made it thrilling to watch. I'm a new subscriber so I never saw this series, but this project is amazing. I kept expecting you to compromise something but it never happened, everything is top-notch. If the YT algorithm is any good this vid should go viral
I built my 6BT/6 speed C3500HD in 2014 and am about to rebuild it after working it all these years- this is great inspiration
Wow can't believe they put a diesel Cummins in junk Gmc what happened to the duramax

Waldo you're possibly the world's Greatest fabricator.
Your videos are great because they SHOW the details of your builds. Talking is to a minimum, project progression is smooth and once again loaded with visual details. Keep up the great work, your fabrication, auto body and mechanical skills seem GREAT!
Waldo you are definitely the content that stands out in the crowd. I can relate to sketchy pulling with a tractor and a log. BTW I love your home/shop area. The nature really adds something to the videos too. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽 🤟🏻
Your content is so awesome! I have been searching lately for a first or second Gen dodge with a Cummins in it for a project truck to work on with my grandfather. Your content is always so inspiring! Thanks!
So you just built this truck the way it should have been built in the first place, using available parts and fabricating the rest. Amazing, inspiring, unstoppable. And a great pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Here is why I like you so much:
You put a muffler on that truck! I don't think anybody else on the internet would have put a muffler there.
I love your channel, no stupid edits, no unneccesarry info, thanks !
I've watched through the build series as I prepare to do a 24v Cummins swap into a 1990 F350. This has been an invaluable resource. Thank you a ton for this.
The projects you have done you make it look so easy, you have to feel proud after you accomplish the projects, I know just changing an engine and transmission takes hours and hours of work, It was much easier back in the 70,s and 80,s but still took hours. I hope young people get inspired watching the videos you produce and try new things. Thank you for sharing
Waldo -- You are the most talented person I have ever seen when it comes to mechanical stuff. I found your channel maybe a year ago and I sure am glad I did and I look forward to your new videos. You sure do beautiful work on no matter what project you take on.
I've been watching the build series for a while and to see it all happen all in 12:43 mins. It really makes me wish I had a neighbor / friend like you to help me on my projects.. I can find the great deals.. But lack the resources to push them through.. sofar on my back logs I have a 1977 IH Loadstar 1800 with an SV-304, sitting next to it is a 2004 International 6.0 diesel engine / cab (wire harness was butchered by buyer who wanted the chassis), a 2000 dodge ram 3500 diesel with bad rear axle spindle and a 1994 Ditch Witch 5110D with bad injector pump (still sitting at seller's summer vacation home for almost 5 years now).. But I gotta saw this one turned into an awesome build 🙂
I came across your channel about 5 hours ago and im hooked , its now almost 2am here in Sydney Australia and i cant stop watching. Love the way you improvise and fabricate parts from scratch
That's hilarious. I didn't recognise the original truck and thought this was a completely different project. Seeing it like that, I realised what an amazing job you did. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Amazing results on this build. Your videos are wonderfully unique. I know this is a flashback to some earlier videos, but I really enjoyed seeing it shrunk to a 12 minute recap. It was so packed, I watched most of it at quarter speed. THANKS for putting so much effort into editing this for the viewers!
Overwhelming amount of work...can't even imagine the hours, planning and cost that went into this build.
Love the music you paired.
Truly one of the best channels on here.
It was nice to see the compressed version of the cummins swap, i can say it was fun to Bing watch all of your content. Looking forward to more!
Finally! We have all been patiently waititng for a video, a Jack of all trades. Thanks for the content and the way you story tell/ create. It keeps me engaged for sure. Keep up the great work! (Also; your "titles" are amazing)
Another excellent video. I love the new title, Senior VP of Projects. It suits you perfectly. 🙂
Waldo, you are a bloody genius!!
I didn't see him cut himself... I must have missed that part.
Absolutely amazing job! Your work is so inspiring. Too bad GM didn't follow your lead and put that legendary Cummins engine in the those trucks during the 1990s. They would have been a huge success. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love the 1 video builds, it gives a real impression of the work involved.
There is no way he got this to start on the first try……. What a legend
It's a cummins.. they never not run
12:20 AWESOME! Thanks for the short clip. I was thinking all the way through "Man this would be an awesome longer series!". Then you drop it at the end!! :)
Waldo, for a software engineer, you do amazing work, and you seem to have a passion for it. Don’t quit, keep your curiosity going so we viewers can benefit in the form of new content 😊
I thought he was a technician /welder…
Waldo, looking forward to you finishing a few of your projects. The dump truck, the goose neck trailer for example.
Same here!
you went above and beyond with this one. you built a freaking truck in your driveway.
beautiful build, great editing and music.
Very clean build. I love the interior work you did. Plate steel bed also looks fantastic.
I love this build series, its transformed so much since the beginning. I found your channel by fluke one day when I was searching for welding / fabrication videos or seires.. I was just getting comfortable with welding and fabricating and I wanted to learn so of the not so obvious tricks to the trade. I learned so much from the flatbed videos and the goose neck series. All the best this year and looking forward to all the content!
Having seen all the episodes in full, it's still amazing to see your work in time lapse. Well done!👍
I like how he started to build a gooseneck trailer but never actually finished it but just get more projects and finished them instead
Good video and job. There are very few people that could have done all you did on that truck. Your tool boxes are way better than after market. Take care, be safe and well.
My hero, Waldo is back. We need some Benz content. Hope not too much snow in NH. Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year! We just got absolutely slammed. 26" of wet snow in less than a week with another storm coming tomorrow 😭
@@WaldosWorld Well thank goodness you have a custom snow plow :-)
Yea, snow plow videos. Plow, break, fix, repeat.
So amazing to see this come to life, you were who I watched when doing my skoolies Eaton 5 speed swap. Not many videos out there of this 5.9/5speed mash up, I can proudly say I have one of my own videos now of our swap thanks to you!
My wife & I are both amazed by your skills in the environment you are in, I showed her this video lastnight & she says email us if you are single.............
Absolutely awesome! Now I'm going to have to go back and watch them all again!!
Just makes you realize how much work involved, it would have cost a small fortune if contracted out , well done Waldo always great filming and look forward to more project's !!
As impressive as the fabrication and mechanical work is... That trick with reverse pushing the truck with your tractor is what I find most incredible!
Another project to add to my list!!! Love it!!!! You made it look so easy.
Yay! Oldie but goodie. Go Waldo!
This is absolutely amazing! I wish I had a friend like you to help me with my truck and also to teach me the Fab side of the build I’ve mechanic for 10yrs but this creativity is fantastic the dash blew my mind great work brother 🤝
Nice! Love that you kept the classic GM floppy fuel sender.
I think I’ve atleast watch the entire what 26-27 videos atleast 10-20 times and that would take a day or 2 now I can watch it in 12 mins it’s about time lol great videos and build Waldo
Great video! I did a cummins conversion myself, only in a ford dually. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears but totally worth it in the end! Looking forward to more content!
Montage definitely the best way to do this kind of video. It definitely makes light of your year of effort but maybe we can put a million eyes on it.
Kickin ass and taken names! Good way to live life! Keep on going
That's thing looks like a beast perhaps you should name it . Nice work brother
It's name is Billy Bob
I was given a fairly low miles Jeep Patriot with a failing CVT. Cost more to fix than its worth. I did what you have done. I raised it up and rolled the chassis from a 1988 Nissan Pathfinder 2 door. V6 power 5 speed manual, warn locking hubs, 33" tires. At 7 feet tall, the hood was about the height of the roof of a stock Patriot. Lots of fun with the wiring. It stole the show at a jeep show and it was just parked in the parking lot.
What happen to you thats a hell of a build why this format i enjoyed a lot but im shocked its too much i need to replay 2-3 times 😂 good job buddy
Great summary video! Great to see a rare Dyna appearance too!
The work you do is very amazing, you do car mechanic, boilermaking, welding, body work and spray painting etc ...
Was an awesome series. I'm glad you made this complimentation video! Hopefully more to come.
This cab style for GMC/CHEVY is just so timeless
Slack ing on new content Waldo 😂😂😂 we missed you
Amazing work and results are proof. Sure hope your cameras been recording all your recent work. Hope to see more.
Yep, I have multiple videos being worked on at the moment 👍
YOU HAVE SOME SERIOUS TALENT, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
I don't think MacGyver had this much know-how. Great videos and outstanding work dude!
Waldo, thats OUTSTANDING!
Thank you for your content, its a great job, we would love to see more of that!
That would be also great to see more videos related to welding or engine modifications and repair since your videos are ENTHRALLING.
Hope you have a great day today.
Thank you so much!
@@WaldosWorld Greetings from your Russian/Ukrainian audience! Your builds are bold and your enthusiasm is infectious. Cant wait to have my own garage and build my things)
How about updates on all of the cars and trucks? What about the shop floor update? Come in Waldo we want to know 😂😂😂
A fleet update! Not a bad idea 👍
What an amazing project. It's a new creation. I'm so impressed by it.
I feel your videos are more enjoyable with you commenting throughout. You did add “Look how big it is”. I laughed at that one twice now.
CONTENT!!! Man I loved waiting for these videos to drop. Excited for the next projects. Sure your bundled up in the shop or in front of the computer this time of year, though.
Yeah, working outside is not very pleasant this time of year, but I'm getting some work done, albeit a bit slower than normal 😂
all your projects are amazing, i wish i had someone to do this stuff with and learn, so cool
This dude constantly makes great content huge props on everything 🎉
Awesome short version of that project. 👍
I am in AWE! I can't believe you're self-taught. You do wonderful work.
That’s an awesome truck man and it sounds so good! Another great project to be proud of!
Excited to see the trailer get finished!
Glad you are back. Love your talents and videos! 🎉
Young man that’s very impressive. You have built an awesome truck. Great work 👍
As many have said Waldo: we LOVE this channel and your 'Can Do - Will Do' attitude. But the confidence you give to others is also much appreciated. God bless you John 3:16
Waldo, you are a man of many talents!!!
I am incredibly impressed! Good work Waldo!
Really enjoyed watching this series as gain AWESOME job Waldo !
Dang, Waldo! 12 minutes! Nice swap.
That turned out to be a hell of a truck. Amazing brother 😊
Brother your skills are out of this world I'm learning by watching
I really like the rebuilding and restoring truck and as well as building a flat bed. I got a couple of good ideas from you. Thanks for the videos and keep it.
Holy cow man, your clean cut looks belies your capabilities, Awesome job
well i think its time for me to rewatch the whole series again lol great job on this truck
Hello from the 603! Nice work man.
Niice vid recap Waldo.
I'd forgotten that you addressed the KDP, which means i need to go back and watch that episode again for Cummins swap project.
I luv the 3500HD, i always rubberneck when i see one....thinking of your truck.😎
Im a C-60 guy myself.
Looking forward to that International.😜
this series is the one that set me on my course to be *constantly* looking for a C3500HD to dump my 12 valve in...
Dude's literally a genius.
I've got the crew cab version of that truck and it's getting "Waldoized" as soon as the weather breaks. Great job!
Your knowledge and expertise is incredible.
