Don't forget sun visors too. I love your dogs. They are so good. It's like Chitty Chitty bang bang when the father went into the house to take the mantle in your case it was the floor runner. LOL
"Still lots to do" - this is probably the COOLEST project that I've seen. Great stuff - not just the project but also your video quality and the ease with which you present.
About 30 years ago I was in Benton, Mo. and saw a 1 ton Dually chevrolet that someone had taken a Blazer body, filled the rear fender wells and the back doors. They had an 8' dually bed on back the frame looked massive but the truck looked like it was made in a factory. This is a small town and I never saw the truck again. I got a good look at it and it was great job. I have been thinking about that a lot watching this build.
I always wanted to spend hours and hours watching over the shoulder of someone working on vehicles. Your videos are my dream come true. No drama, no smoke and mirrors, just working on a project and keeping it real. I am impressed that you are not afraid to do anything and you don't need to be a perfectionist about it. Thank you so much for sharing your videos with all of us.
Hands down..THE COOLEST "SHOP" TRUCK on UA-cam. With the roof brace you installed, you now have something to bolt your overhead console to. You could also mount any interior in the console too.
Watching those screws come out of those door seals was like pulling out a old unknown splinter out of your hand. Seems ok, but it feels so much better once it's out. It's looking good man!
I don't normally comment on too many videos or channels. But I thoroughly enjoy your channel! Had I not watched DD speed shop when he bought the I guess it was a t-bucket from you, I would not have found your channel. I don't watch that channel anymore! I watch your channel and the videos that you make! You are a "Down to Earth" guy and I hope that you never change. I feel like I could just walk up to you and start talking about cars and trucks! Thank you very much for making my wife Mrs PIB and I smile! I appreciate you taking the time to read this! I wish you the best of luck in the New Year from your fans here in East Tennessee!
The more I watch, the more there is to fall in love with! Kind a gets ya right in the feels, with all the passion being poured into that truck! You obviously love what you do! Ain’t it great building a vision that’s been stuck in your head! It may not be the easiest of tasks, and you’ll struggle at times but the rewards are definitely worth the effort! And this is a gem!😉✌🏼 Thanks for taking us along... 👍🏼👍🏼 here!
Just when I was about to think you had a Van full of rubber matting stashed away somewhere 😀 I didn't know what to expect but but you pulled it off, looks real good! 👍
If you used a molding over the door sill it could hold down/cover the carpet edge and bend over the vertical edge. That could fill in that gap between the door as well. And just use screws to secure the way most vehicles do. It would look better than another rubber strip.
Nice job on that masking I've painted a lot of dashboards with those little knobs it's very tedious LOL to say that to say the least keep your videos coming Happy New Year I really dig on that truck thanks
Mechanical clutch fan: Check on late model Ford SD pickup. Has built in 12 volt clutch. Very simple arrangement to adapt to a new home! Looked at the one on my F250 with 6.2 engine. In looking at some of your earlier postings, I remembered the air windshield wiper problem, which reminded me of working on them in highway buses. Actually, they were pretty dependable if you regulated the air supply to the point that broken wiper arms were avoided. The actual hookup has two lines run from the control valve to the wiper "motor". When you turn the knob counter clockwise, you will be turning against a spring in the valve, and allowing air to exit one of the ports. This is the "park" position. This will put the wiper motor to one end and stop. The other output is regulated by knob position of course, and will make the wiper motor run as you would expect. A suggestion for rubber matting...conveyor belting. You can probably pick up a scrap from a material handling dealer/service company. Makes an almost indestructible pickup bed mat, or floor mat. Also makes excellent mud flaps.
The contrasting color on the dash looks great. Makes me want some on the door panels. The shift lever shows up in the video saying "Paint me, too! Either color, just paint me already." And then the shifter knob starts to chime in with something, but is drowned out by the outside of the LR door, demanding priority. I found some weatherstrip in Princess Auto's Surplus section - but then I don't have eleventy-six vehicles in stock to check for it. Some of us have it so rough.
I think I would paint the heads of the screws that held in the windlace, and put them back in. It would look better than a bunch of empty holes around the doors, and help keep the holes from fraying too. That's going to be a unique and head-turning truck. Happy New Year to you and your family, from Linda and me.
Hello from the United Kingdom. I really did hope you would use the same drab green to coordinate with the dash panel. Ah well, you'll be the one looking at it I s'pose. Keep up the good work, best series this winter and no mistake.
Looks awesome! With flipping the carpet over make sure you get it all sealed tight around any outer or inner edges. If any moisture gets in between it'll cause mold and after all that work it would suck. Give the pups an xtra treat🐾...peace
Always enjoy your videos! Wish you were closer so I could comission you to blend my 1946 Ford coupe with my 1988 Trans AM. The big stuff takes me awhile to do...I like doing the small tedious details after the major components are together.
Can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying this project!!!! Keep it coming, with all going on these days, nice to have something that makes you smile!!!
Dash turned out great, Good idea on the runners for mats. Possibly make a bracket for "hood" trim and mount to body to engage the rubber on the door. If you can't come up with thicker rubber.
Shes gettin close to being done cant wait to see her completed shes a one of a kind forsure. Take care and stay safe and lookin forward to the next one
For your back door lower weather striping, take a strip of sheetmetal and bend up a C channel. Width and depth of the C channel as required to fill the gap between the rubber weather striping and the cab sill. Weld in place, seam seal, paint and done. Gasket will be as tight as you want it to be. Might be worth doing on the front door as well.
Looks awesome! Your show is the only one I just sit down and watch, it's not just in the background like most UA-cam videos! And, my dog Corona watches too!
On the bottom door seal, put a thick rubber piece inside that hollow rubber to push it toward the cab base. Don't forget to insulate the inner doors for road noise!
The build is really coming along and looking good! For the bottom of your doors take a look at stuff for the bottom of the garage door. I had to replace mine and found an extra tall one about 1.5 inches tall. Slid right into the channel on the bottom of the door, worked like a charm! Comes in different profiles. Just food for thought. Have a great New Year!
i have a 1957 s120 international pu (one of the first that year; looks more to a 1956 though) straight 6 ; the dash and doors are exactly as yours is.enjoying your u-tubes; thanks for sharing.
I did the same thing. I bought a few of those rubber backed carpets & I put one bit, rubber side up on the drivers side & the rest rubber side down on the passage parts, few months later I started getting a nasty smell that I couldn't trace. It got worse and worse until I finally tracked it down to the carpet under my feet which I'd put carpet side down. Where it had gotten wet due to, Due, Condensation & the occasional spilt mcay D's coffee. Worked out that the stuff is awesome and basically keeps itself clean. You no doubt won't ever see this comment but I just thought I'd let you know wot my experience with that rubber backed carpet was. Great work and luv your content thank you so much from a bored English man 👍
I am liking it lots Brent. I can see around the corners and see the end run.... it all come around that what is going to look like and with the bling on "People will be asking how to get one" or can you buy these from someone type questions.... ; For enough money most things can or might happen/LOL
the truck is going to be awesome when you get it completed, I have been following the build with each video that you post, great to see the amazing progress you making with , and the way it is turning out, great job can't wait to see the finished truck keep up the great work
Hey honey I was thinking we could use some new carpet runners in the house. I'll just get this old one out of your way for now! You sir have a very understanding wife.
Really enjoy seeing the progress on this kinda a high grade rat rod always looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent...Hope you have a Great New Year...
I am so impressed and what you have put into this build your heart is really in this one are we all going to get a ride in it I'm sure I'm not alone on this one
I always get sad when you get to the end of the video but the truck is coming together great you do a fantastic job at making the videos keep up the great work and Happy New Year & God Bless you and your family 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💪🏼
Nicely done @ 30:30 outta sight outta mind, it would be nice to finish dash with aluminum and round circles like spirit of Saint Louis like Charles Lindbergh's plane like round aluminum shapes on the fuselage near the engine cowling, I thought would be sharp with instrument concuil. It's neat to see how it's coming together I'm waiting to see what you do underneath your truck I think the center of the dome roof would be a great place to put that light that's commonly done that way I think it'll light well enough and it's a great location for overall lighting. Rugs commercial grade gray runner with low pile. On bottom of door take a look.at LMC truck find the truck and style that gives you right size Are you up in the great white north up in Canada? Cool, actually cold even. Fun music
Nice interior fixn, At very last part i same Locking hubs on my Bronco... I am missing 1 inner spring, want a pain to find.. So far your allot further along than me. Just started mine, giving some New Year luv. cant wait till spring.
Not only is this one of the coolest builds to follow on UA-cam... man you pick out some terrific music. Great taste. In the last video, where you were doing the tail lights, I nearly jumped clean of my skin when you did that close up goofy face! BAHAHAHAHA. That dash looks perfect!!! Thank you and Happy New Year.
Dubble yes on that cam rear view! The cam can be magnetic and be used to see behind in low light backing and also pointed at hitch when hooking up and the on the the back of the trailer when backing it up as well! I second the motion for attaching that strip to the body. That way it wont sag as quick as one that covers that gap all from one side.
General is looking good. It's so funny that you stole the carpet runner out of the house 😂. And the wife let you. Hope you had a PBR for me to on new year. You and the grandson still going to make some videos?? Have a good one for Tennessee.
Brent, for rubber seals on the bottom of the doors, look at rubber seals from the bottom of garage doors. I think Amazon handles it. I can’t promise but it may work.
Don't forget sun visors too. I love your dogs. They are so good. It's like Chitty Chitty bang bang when the father went into the house to take the mantle in your case it was the floor runner. LOL
Hi. I also love the dogs, man's best friends. I got a couple too.
"Still lots to do" - this is probably the COOLEST project that I've seen. Great stuff - not just the project but also your video quality and the ease with which you present.
Brent: garage door seal has a 90% lip on it and works good on most old cars and it is thick and cheap!
That's a good tip there.
About 30 years ago I was in Benton, Mo. and saw a 1 ton Dually chevrolet that someone had taken a Blazer body, filled the rear fender wells and the back doors. They had an 8' dually bed on back the frame looked massive but the truck looked like it was made in a factory. This is a small town and I never saw the truck again.

Thank you so much for sharing your videos with all of us.
It is always a pleasurable experience watching Brent at work. Thanks Brent.
How many people would think of flipping a floor runner over and using it. Very smart work!
Hands down..THE COOLEST "SHOP" TRUCK on UA-cam. With the roof brace you installed, you now have something to bolt your overhead console to. You could also mount any interior in the console too.
That truck is coming along great. This is a show stopper for sure
I am enjoying the build on your truck it will be a nice truck when your done
Watching those screws come out of those door seals was like pulling out a old unknown splinter out of your hand. Seems ok, but it feels so much better once it's out. It's looking good man!

The truck is amazing. You are a skillful man. Great job, great ideas, great skill.
The more I watch, the more there is to fall in love with! Kind a gets ya right in the feels, with all the passion being poured into that truck! You obviously love what you do!
Ain’t it great building a vision that’s been stuck in your head! It may not be the easiest of tasks, and you’ll struggle at times but the rewards are definitely worth the effort! And this is a gem!😉✌🏼 Thanks for taking us along...

Nice color choice on the dash. Learn something new from each video, never thought of flipping a carpet runner.
Love the beginning! Loving the build! Still sending people your way bud!
Love how you use things just laying around to finish her off. The upside down area rugs was a great move.
Great job. Dash looks perfect. Starting to look like a factory build. Thanks Brent. 😎👍🥃🎸👽🚙🍺🍺

Keep up the good work, best series this winter and no mistake.
You are the handy man of castumuizer. Using material what you have.well done
That's a rugged,brawny,roomy, BADA- - lookin truck..Kool as all get out....has the look of when trucks were trucks...GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks awesome! With flipping the carpet over make sure you get it all sealed tight around any outer or inner edges. If any moisture gets in between it'll cause mold and after all that work it would suck. Give the pups an xtra treat🐾...peace
Always enjoy your videos! Wish you were closer so I could comission you to blend my 1946 Ford coupe with my 1988 Trans AM. The big stuff takes me awhile to do...I like doing the small tedious details after the major components are together.
What a fun build! Thanks for sharing
Can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying this project!!!! Keep it coming, with all going on these days, nice to have something that makes you smile!!!
BUILD OF THE YEAR FOR 2020!
I second that.
I agree!
And 2021
Dash turned out great,
Good idea on the runners for mats.
Possibly make a bracket for "hood" trim and mount to body to engage the rubber on the door. If you can't come up with thicker rubber.
Shes gettin close to being done cant wait to see her completed shes a one of a kind forsure. Take care and stay safe and lookin forward to the next one
Enjoy your music and the progress on this cool truck project.
Leaps and Bounds, Leaps and Bounds as they say! Cracking job!

Width and depth of the C channel as required to fill the gap between the rubber weather striping and the cab sill. Weld in place, seam seal, paint and done.

Another awesome video brother !+ thank you for all the entertainment !!
Looks awesome! Your show is the only one I just sit down and watch, it's not just in the background like most UA-cam videos! And, my dog Corona watches too!
Your shop truck is really coming along good, I very much enjoy watching this build
Your an amazing man! Your truck is so cool I really enjoy this build ! Always look forward to another episode.
Love it - taking the wife's runner from the house!! Necessity is the mother of invention, right?
On the bottom door seal, put a thick rubber piece inside that hollow rubber to push it toward the cab base. Don't forget to insulate the inner doors for road noise!
Man your truck looks magnificent it's on the beautifulest trucks I've ever seen
It is looking great its come a long way.
Nice, that interior is really taking on a factory look, you're going going to be bombarded with offers to sell that truck!
On the back door bottom seals, why not make a sill plate that covers the floor (rug) edge and comes out to meet that seal strip. Just a thought.
That's an idea for sure
Don't forget your CB radio and twin aerials on the mirrors. Love your channel keep up the good work .
The dash came out fine!
Yes, this truck is coming along fine, as mentioned by another subscriber....
The build is really coming along and looking good! For the bottom of your doors take a look at stuff for the bottom of the garage door. I had to replace mine and found an extra tall one about 1.5 inches tall. Slid right into the channel on the bottom of the door, worked like a charm! Comes in different profiles.

Great call on the stainless steel paint!
Lickem stickem head liner. Floor should be nice and quiet. This truck is repurposed every thing, that's cool. Nice job.
You are one smart clever guy mate ,so educational and informative watching your channel mate thanks heaps👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
👍🏻🤘🏻 Looks great. The outdoor mat flipped rubber side up. Genius👏🏻👏🏻
This is really looking fantastic, and watching you mask stuff off is teaching me more efficient ways of masking, Thanks!
Золотые руки у этого мастера. Достойно уважения.
The General is looking Awesome .
Don't slip and fall in the house, because the carpet
Runnerd have misteriously disappeared
Looking good- great job of making it look factory- you are very talented and make everything look easy- or have a lot of take outs-
Perfection takes a little time , and it's getting there , awesome Brent . Well done.
Epic. Soulful. Video work is spot on. Such a pleasure to watch. Love love lovin that truck.
This has been my most favorite build to date Such a mean looking 4x4 twin cab
You accomplished a lot of work for this go round. Well done.
Lookin' good Brent. Thanks for sharing your skills with us.
Hey honey I was thinking we could use some new carpet runners in the house. I'll just get this old one out of your way for now! You sir have a very understanding wife.

The interior is coming together nicely. Looking 👍

I wish I had your talent awesome job
Love the silvery dash color offset by the black, very nice!
Not only is this one of the coolest builds to follow on UA-cam... man you pick out some terrific music. Great taste. In the last video, where you were doing the tail lights, I nearly jumped clean of my skin when you did that close up goofy face! BAHAHAHAHA. That dash looks perfect!!! Thank you and Happy New Year.
You're a very humble man love the truck god bless you and your family 20/21.

Great video Brent, can't believe you talked your wife out of her carpet runner. Thanks for entertaining us, looking forward to the next one
Older, but sometimes Carona and I like watching the older ones!
Dash looks great!!!!! Glad you went with the gun metal. Maybe accent the door panels with that too!!! Happy New Year!!
Always looking forward to seeing what you do next! It's gonna look awesome when you spray the paint on it! :)
General is looking good. It's so funny that you stole the carpet runner out of the house 😂. And the wife let you. Hope you had a PBR for me to on new year. You and the grandson still going to make some videos?? Have a good one for Tennessee.
Looking good, I'm sure you already know that you can clean the glass with fine steel wool to take the old film off, just wanted to throw it in.
Truck is really turning out nice !
Thanks for the video, like your build progress.
Brent, for rubber seals on the bottom of the doors, look at rubber seals from the bottom of garage doors. I think Amazon handles it. I can’t promise but it may work.
Looking awesome. Great progress!!
Brent , you're gonna have that thing to nice to drive
i do like what you are doing watching you gave me some thing to do on my son 1940 chevy pickup
You could weld pieces of 3/8 X 2" flat bar on the sides of the step wells in the cab for the weatherstripping on the doors to seal against.
Cool, it reminds me of my truck in the army from the outside. Your truck will be more comfortable. 👍👍✌
Happy New Year! May it be healthy, happy and prosperous for you and family.
