HUGE Thanks to these for bringing my dream truck to life @nicholsfleet @MillerWelders @iowamoldtooling @AlumareelUSA @FireballTool @wheelsamillion847 @TekamoHD
Incredible rig my friend!!!!.. I think everyone should have a welding rig with a crane...I am a hobby welder and I have to rebuild a Miller bobcat to get it back to like new ...Keep up the great work..I should have been a welder instead of wasting most of my life in school....-John
Appreciate that John, I'm glad it gave you some inspiration. :)
I'm very OCD about my service trucks and tools & equipment set ups. I feel like I always over exagerate or over do every thing I do it is just the way I am , I feel like I can't help it lol . Looks like your more OCD Than I am , I'm not alone anymore. Amazing set up ,if this set doesn't satisfy your craving for excellence nothing will Lol. Enjoy and God bless you !
😅 it’s not a bad thing man ! Customers also notice that and appreciate it and you have blessed week as well friend !
GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG MAN!
That’s America right there. You went all in and you’re pouring your heart and soul into being productive and making it happen.
Awesome job sir. All the best to you and your family.
@@tna2me197 hey thank you ! We’ve been blessed for sure so I give all this credit to the Lord !!!!
Turned out awesome. Nothing better than being proud of your ride and being able to organize everything for ease of use
You got that right!❤❤❤
that is the best service truck i have seen, love how every tool has its place and layed out perfectly.
Thank you! I definitely have some tweaking to do here and there but it for sure makes the job easier when you know where everything is
Complete work shop on wheels very nice truck Sir thanks for sharing
thanks ! its definitely a game change bed set up for my business . Just the crane alone is a huge help :)
congratulations , i started out just like that all is well now , blessed
@@sts.556 heck yeah congrats brother wish you nothing but the best ! And we appreciate you taking time to check the new bed out :)
thats the nicest welding rig ive ever seen nice work
Appreciate that!
This is the best set up I've ever seen. Good job
@@shawnsullivan2586 we appreciate the love friend ! Hope you have a blessed new years :)
Too All the Chamberlains:
That ride is unequalled! First CLASS!
Please do not forget those of us still in 1 tons without LED lights!
Rise and Grind!
Hahaha “with out led lights” -- there have been many nights I have been out there holding a flashlight for him to organize things for the next day ahead lol
Thank you man!
@@rebeccamae13hahahah this is true 😂
You made a new bar! (vs raising the bar). Gosh loving the night lighting too!
@@jiavin25 lol thanks friend ! I been dreaming of this build for along time
Beautiful truck man, I used to build trucks of all sorts. God bless and keep growing your business.
Thanks!!!!
Damn man that truck is awesome. Cool to see other guys crushing it.
@@KC-7mm thanks friend ! It’d definitely been an awesome journey coming up on my 3rd full year. My wife and daughters has a ton of work invested into this business as I do so it definitely takes the whole family to keep it going :)
Very nice rig. Hope your business thrives. You seem like a hard working young man. Congratulations on striking out on your own!
appreciate that!!
Amazing service/welding rig. Anyone would enjoy going to the job in that rig. Enjoy!
Thanks man! I definitely do
Beautiful truck, great design! Good luck in your business!👏👏👏👏
I appreciate that a lot!!
I agree totally with your comment of the reels...I was a Rig owner/operator pipeline welder for 40 yrs and just recently retired going on a year now . I dealt with Aluma reel before they ever came to the states and I had to go through customs to gett my skid and reel sutup from them since they began in Canada. Randy Ballard out in Texas is the guy I last dealt with since they now stock and sell products from the USA.
@@bjorker40 Randy for sure top notch , and their reels are worth every penny ! Congrats on your retirement hand :) and thanks for taking your time out to check our rig out .
Man, you have turned that into one good-looking truck. We make a few things for nichols fleet, they did an awesome job on that bed.
Man they nailed the build and then some . Really good folks over there and all of their guys are top notch ❤
well organized and good looking truck
Thanks man! I'm really happy with how it turned out!!
that is the best service truck i have seen best layed out for all tools have there place
@@GregBarrett-i2g why thank you Greg !! We really appreciate you taking your time to check it out :)
Been following you for over a year, even have the green and yellow hat! Happy for you man! I love crisp service trucks and yours is at the top, and I’m sure your work portrays that!
That’s awesome love that hat! I appreciate it man thanks so much
That is one slick truck!
Just dragged my service rig out of field a month ago for $1000. She’s gonna need a bunch of work but it will all be the way I want it. I’m probably still a few years out from breaking out but I’m taking the steps one at a time.
That’s right man ! We slowly fix my one ton up a little bit at a time before we broke out ❤ . Would love for you to keep us updated on your journey bud
Man ol man what a rig!!😍😍 this is what I’m shooting for right there son!
@@lukebailey9532 thank you Luke !! We appreciate the love !!!
Congrats Josh all the hard work payed off for one of the nicest trucks built got to see it in person
Thanks brother ! You’ll see it soon for sure ❤
My friend
Congratulations
Thanks for share that Valuable equipment.
Wishing you a lot of luck.
Best regards
@@carlosaguirre1313 Thanks Carlos , we appreciate you taking time to check it out ! :)
Great job on the truck! Keep us posted on the torch holders...great idea
Awesome truck. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks , and we for sure doing a part two of the tour because I left a ton of stuff out of the video I for got to mention and show ❤
Glad you enjoyed it we appreciate you taking time to check in it out 😊😊😊
Nickols Fleet great crew to work with 👍👍 Beautiful setup love the miller pipepro we have an 800 mounted on a IMT Dominator 4 body with 14K lb crane for the earth moving equipment mechanic truck and love every single aspect of the truck. And we will never buy an another truck with out an EnPak we tried them when Miller first introduced them and we were immediately impressed and sold. Great Job 👍👍
Thanks! And I agree they are great people for sure. Glad to hear good things about the enpak - it’s already come in so much use for me the few days I’ve had it
I need those torch holders in my life 😂
Sick rig dude !!
Appreciate it, glad you like it!
Got my truck from Nichols fleet they do a great job.. love your rig for a mobile welder fabber you got it all but for a field mechanic lol lot more room to be used my brother
@@ozzmann3217 thanks brother ! And I 100% agree if it’s a full time mechanic bed I’d say minimum 14 ft bed should be used :) . A 11-12ft bed just doesn’t have enough room for full time wrenching and diesel work
Hell ya brother! Love that new rig up! Keep up the good work! - British Columbia Canada
Man we appreciate the love ! And I don’t understand how yall can stand that cold weather up there ! I started freezing as soon as I seen the word Canada 😂😂
I’ve been running a set of diamond reels for 2 year and they still work perfectly fine. I repair open pit mining equipment (d10, 395, ex2600) gouging and running wire at 30 volts constantly through those reels without all my cables ran out. They only issues I’ve had is the paint flaking off but they function perfectly fine.
I wonder what I’m doing differently because I’m surprised mine still work considering how many people burn theirs up. I run 2/0 cable at 50’ on each reel and all my lugs are soldered on. The only thing I can think of is I run a lot less cable on them than other people since most load them with 100’ leads.
@@JTwelder. not sure I got two sets over 2 1/2 years in the junk pile now . We do a ton of arc gouging . On paper a live reel all steel with constant voltage/amps going through the bearings is to be expected to fry the reel bearings . The aluma reels are obviously aluminum built and your current never contacts any of the reel bearings. My issue with my diamond reels I believe was just extended arc gouging and welding 10-14 straight running at same volts you mention running dual shield wire .
@@chamberlainsPortableWelding I gouge quite a bit like you but only at 300 amps because I’m running a 302 airpak so that might help as well along with the shorter leads. I can see how 100’ leads and running a gouger all day would burn up the bearings but I guess I’ve just had good luck. I’m sure I’ll have to upgrade eventually.
@@JTwelder. for sure ! and Congrats with the 302 airpak . thats what i built my business off of . im currently fixing my one ton back up and leaving the airpak on it . thank machine alone is worth its weight in gold for sure :)
@@JTwelder. any holy smokes man i didnt know this was wolf welding commenting on my stuff . you got me star struck now lol! i absolutely love your content bud
@@chamberlainsPortableWelding Haha yeah that’s me, I haven’t uploaded in a while but I’ve got some new videos coming out this winter. I just found your channel today, you have some good videos to keep it up!
that is a great looking truck bud , i really like that truck , love it
@@sts.556 thanks friend ! We really appreciate you checking the build out .
WOW, that is a clean clean setup! very nice for sure! 100percent! 💯💯💯! AMERICA!
appreciate that!
Beautiful setup lots of thought and a ton of pride in that truck and everything you do very proud of all your accomplishments! 👍
Amen ! And thanks friend we really appreciate you taking the time to check it out , have blessed week 😊
Outstanding Design!
hey thank you ! we really appreciate you checking it out :)
Definitely want to see the torch holders, nice truck
@@kodybarringer5203 will update soon! And thanks so much man I appreciate it
Nice truck!
Thanks !!!
That’s a awesome setup happy for you Josh 👍
Thanks man! I appreacite it
Congrats young man
thank you Henry!!!
Very nice truck!
Thanks man!
Cutting torch holder looks good
Awesome Rig!
@@RogerChandler-vl5de hey friend we appreciate you taking the time to check out the new bed build !! Have a blessed week
Nice Rig
regards from Germany
Thanks Chris ! We really appreciate you taking the time to check out truck out ❤
Very thought out, efficient build! Only thing I can foresee is that you’ll be adding a permanent job box to the bed, if you haven’t already, because you’re already out of room. Believe me, I have a 14’ low-profile bed that’s had a temporary job box in it since the day I loaded the tools on it in 2006. You can never build a big enough truck or shop in this line of work.
😂lol man ant that the truth ! I’m going to stay more focused on my welding side of the business so we got it pretty well all set up for that , but I’m hoping to add a second truck and would love it to be a 14 ft mechanic bed set up and put someone in it to turn wrenches and also tear stuff down and I can swing through and for the welding work ❤
Thanks for the reply and that would definitely be my preference as well. I end up doing way more mechanic work than I want to.
That is one sexy rig and you have good taste.
thanks friend ! we really appreciate you taking time to check it out!
Aloha Josh 🤙🏻 stoked to see you on UA-cam
thanks man - youtube is a bit harder to figure out but we'll get the hang out of it.......maybe
Congratulations! That is one awesome rig!!
Thanks!!! I appreciate it
That service body is perfect. Wish they made that in production. Custom must have cost large $$$$
@@fasstimes9122 it’s a wild story but the upfitters Nichols Fleet did me a good deal on it after the owner heard my story. We had a ton of meetings and he personally had many hours on helping with the build to get it like the drawings I did years ago .
Truck looks awsome!! Do a truck tour over your old truck
@@NickTessman-v7z thanks!! Will do soon!
Very nice purpose built rig!
much love back at you bud and we appreciate your time checking it out !
Nice rig! Tailgate looks like a narrowed IMT, got the same one on my 14'
@@ljkck3578 they did chop down a factory tail gate , but I was just pointing out how neat of a job they did that you couldn’t even tell it was modified
What a nice white European accent 👍
thanks!
Liked and subscribed. Nice rig for sure.
appreciate that!!
Beautiful, only thing I would change is the vice not in front of the welder if you lots of grinding and prepping on that vice , that welder sucks I all up
And destroys everything inside makes a mess of the machine inside
I need some of torch holders !
Nice
Love it and YOU!!
aww love you more :)
@ 😻😻😻😻
What was the rigging brand that you said the lifting straps came from? Also, phenomenal rig! When I outgrow my ol 02 chevy 3500hd it'll be into a custom built rig with the same sentiment you built this one with. Hope you continue to prosper!
hey bud , i ordered all of my rigging from WiscoLift . super good folks and have everything you could think of for rigging from metal dogs , metal magnetics , straps and sling chains :)
What process are ypu changing to go from carbon arc gouging to stick welding? It should just be a change in amperage.
Check out the miller pipe pro 400 it has multiple settings from stick, carbon arc , non flux , flux , 7018 and 6010 settings .
On my smaller 302 airpak machine it only had stick tig and mig settings so I’d swap over to stick for gouging on it
Been itching to see this! Beautiful rig! I had been wondering if the Enpaks could be mounted down in the body instead of up top.
Yeah I thought it would look cleaner and I'll pull a trailer if i need to bring materials so i wasnt too concerned about the bed space but we actaully atill have quite a bit of bed space left.
Why do you need the hydraulic pump, when you have the Enpak ??
What did it cost 500k ??
If your talking about the hydraulic pump in my right side cabient , I use it and a 60 to 100 ton pulling ram to remove pins , press bushings and help bend metal .
@chamberlainsPortableWelding
Does the Enpak not generate enough pressure ?
@@JohnSmith-lv8xk I’m sure it would have if I plumb up external fittings off the enpak ? But there’s times I’m not even remotely close to the truck so having an electric pump is more ideal .
@@chamberlainsPortableWelding
Gotcha, I don't ask to be annoying, there is likely something I am missing.
Nice rig 😎, is that slide out step custom or can it be bought somewhere? I need 2 for my flatbed
thanks !!! and im not sure the bed builders mentioned about that ideal and they surpirsed me with it once the bed was complete :) its definitely handy , i pull it out and use my pipe stands to hold metal so im not cutting metal directly off my bumper :)
beautiful truck man i was curious what brand name those led bar light are, the ones mounted on the top of the side boxes.
thanks bud!! they are Buyers Brand LED lights and they definitely light the area up at night on job sites .
Damn sweet truck but at what cost lol that’s gotta be a pretty penny
@@dandersen464 I definitely got a loan for part of it , but I’ve worked two years to get to this point :) . Scarred money don’t make money , gotta invest and make the rest
@@dandersen464 also I bought the truck close to 3 years ago with a different bed , paid it off in like 2 years then took the money I was putting towards it to invest in this new bed .
Ya man, just got out this past April in wasilla Ak trying out business for myself. Looking to double revs this year! 2006 Chevy 2500HD with a ‘24 Miller 330, 30A spool gun, and 12RC. Keep up the content!
Also, what setup do you have for line boring? I’m looking to tap into that up here.
I know line boring systems out of NH will work with the suitcase feeding but it hella expensive
@@dandersen464 if a man got the want to and faith that God will lead him you’ll do good ! I started in my 1ton flatbed just like you are doing 3 years ago this past Dec 10th !
Badass rig man, congratulations! Just out of curiosity how much was that bed/setup?
@@Chuy00quiles ehhh I got some money tided up in it . Close to 65k-70k just with the miller 400 pipe pro and the miller enpak a60 unit and all the hook ups and hoses for that alone .
Guys got more money in miller welders than I have in my house
Hahahahahahaha
Where do you store your line boring bars?
back bumper theres a comp onside underneath
Looks great! What line boring setup are you running?
thanks its York
Do you guys have merchandise? I’d like to buy some.
we do my wife takes care of all of that . but i believe we are currently out of everything it doesnt last long :( . we take 100% of the money from each hat . shirt and , other merchandise and donate the money towards the local high school welding program :)
Gave you a sub from Upstate New York. Get an extra set of brushes for that welder. Keep them in the glove box. About 80 dollars. You will thank me later
thanks for the sub and feedback! and ill get brushes on order , i learned with my 302 airpak that it never hurts to keep common parts for the welders on the truck for quick field repairs :)
Nice looking setup. How did u get your customers?
@@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147 a lot of it has to do with the 15 years I had at the caterpillar dealer I work at . I made a ton of relationships with customers from there , so I made a good reputation for my self and once word got out that I was on my own they just started calling me . Then another resource was my wife making a TikTok for the business . That alone has picked me up a ton of customers some of them are 2 to 4 hours away from me that we work for very often :)
@chamberlainsPortableWelding ok. Thank you. I have UA-cam. And I know some customers. One thing I hate working on caterpillars is they won't release hardly any information
Morning boss
@@christopherblanton7480 hey bud ! You over here from TikTok lol ?
