take away 2: if you watched Diesel Creek first.... then at a later date you began watching Jesse... you can only assume that Jesse did something second. but wait... i challenge you to accept the possibility that it was only that you saw Jesse second ... and perhaps he did the intro first. mind blown emoji. deep thoughts by Jack Handey. PS no one is re-inventing the wheel when shooting youtube videos... no one is really copying anything... just learning from others, it's all good.
i sole that shot from Jpaydirt... agreed none of us are inventing the wheel here, but for the record I was doing that before Jesse even started youtube 🤷♂🤣👍🏼
@@DieselCreekI mean no disrespect when I say this because I like you and your videos, but I had already looked this up when people first started accusing me of copying you ...a while back. My first video doing this was in july of 2019, with my international 4700. I had already looked back to your videos to find when you did it first. Could not find one 5 years or even 4 years ago. Maybe 3 years ago? I just wanted to "reset" the record straight after what you just said. If anybody can prove me wrong, I am all ears. But its all public record. And I agree, it doesnt even matter because yours have a horn most of the time and mine are shot with a 360 camera most of the time. I had not even known who you were 4 years ago until I was at Andrews and he showed me the video of you building a roof over your shipping container.
@@jmuller86 none taken. I had started doing drive over shots in 2017 maybe earlier most of those old videos were so bad I made them private or deleted them all together, you’re more than welcome to do whatever shots you like. I’m not trying to argue about it either. I couldn’t care less, like I said I stole that from Jeff. lol
Those of us that grew up without a lot, we HAD to learn to do everything & anything around the house and our cars, trucks and equipment as we were not about to pay someone else to do what we could figure out. That's why they call us, Jack of all trades and a master of none, but it's better than master of one or NONE!
So pleased Jesse. You make these video's for me to watch. From Trucks to buildings. threre no stopping you. When you put your talent to work. Thank you young man.
Very enjoyable to watch a young family do productive things. I wish you all the best on your endeavors. You seam to have what it takes t make it all happen with a little common sense thrown.
I just turned 70 last month. My love of 47 years and I so enjoy your videos! It’s fun trying to identify where you are traveling to pick up equipment having lived in Ravena, and a brother who lived in Coxsackie. We enjoy the longer videos and your explanations of your work also adds to our enjoyment!
You are busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Great job getting the truck to pass inspection. New York has so many vehicle inspection war stories that will frustrate anyone. Thanks for the great video's. Take care. Your son's look all fired up. LOL.
I've wanted to find/build a truck similar to what you're making for years now. 4wd, crew cab, medium duty truck. My plans would be to remove the rear center seat and install a horizontal fridge/freezer. Air ride cab, suspension and seats. For the rear I like the idea of a hook and snatch, then you'd have a flexible truck. Have a flat deck that you can load on the ground then pull up and go (SxS, snowmobiles, etc). Pull on a small dump body, or a 5th wheel/flat deck with outdoor kitchen and possibly a portable toilet and awning for long hauls. Make a pull on camper and haul a pintle hook trailer for long haul purchases. I think the snatch and go arm just gives you so many options for the rear end, one of the largest IMO being able to load cargo onto a deck on the ground and then pull it up and on and go. In sure whatever way you choose will be great. Keep up the great content, love it.
I’m looking forward to the renovation and upgrade to the dream truck, should be an awesome series of videos and it sounds like your vision for it will turn out to be a pretty nice truck. Great video Jesse showing off your many skills and talent.
Jesse, i'm surprized that u had pass inspection without a front bumper! Butt u did pass. good job getting all of the things fixed.. ur kids like the truck.
Trying to register truck like that in a country I'm living, some agency would have you arrested for trying to do it with a vehicle in such state of despair, rust, tail lights zip tied, wires all over... You're really lucky being able to do that that in NY.
Ici en France, lors de son inspection technique, vu son état, ce camion irait directement à la casse. Bon courage pour la remise en état. Here in France, based on its condition during its technical inspection, this truck would go straight to the scrapyard. Good luck with the refurbishment.
It is mess with more Rust and a really bad Frame. Before spending time and money, i would suggest to clean and prevent the frame against corrosion. With a clean and solid base all the following work would be worth of spending. As others wrote, even here in Germany this Truck would never ever make it to a safety inspection
European laws on trucking and cars in general, do not allow for ANY type of sketchy rust on frames or brake components. The roads are much smaller, and much more densely populated. Any kind of component failure would result in a real disaster, hence no chances are taken with large dangerous vehicles. It is either correct and very safe or it cannot be on the roads.
What I love about Jesse's channel is when he starts a project, it will get done. I drive a similar rig at work except it's the Hybrid model... ironically it uses more fuel than the conventional trucks 😂
Really excited to watch this series, but I truly feel like you should have bought a similar truck from down south to avoid the rust issues this truck has.
Very good on your explanations, you definitely have to have a vision on what you want the truck to do! Keep up the good content looking forward to the next one
Thanks for sharing Jesse, when I listen to you narrating this video your voice sounds just like Tom Cruise the actor! lol 😂 seriously my friend! Cool truck and in my opinion, I think whatever you do with the truck is totally your business brother! Yall take care and Kirk from Louisiana is sending prayers and positive vibes to you and your family! Looking forward to seeing your next video on the big “family wheels”! Can’t wait to see the results my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻
that's going to be a nice truck when you get it all set up. we had several in the fleet at work. as far as your heat stuck on those hvac control heads are notorious for going bad since its all electronic just something to take a look at if the blend door checks out
I get home from work and check to see if Diesel Creek uploaded a new video, didn’t see one so I pop onto your channel and am happy to see one, start your video and you do Matt’s video opening style 😂😂. Great minds think alike lol
Ah! You did my heart good at 13:45! Good old Loctite 545! I've been spreading that word for years. No comparison for air and petroleum product fittings.
Man, I am so excited to watch this transformation! it looks like you’re going to have a battle with the undercarriage rust. I live in Georgia and we don’t have any of that. Good luck!
8:00 Im a auto shop owner in PA. I was watching a video by Bernie Thompson. He is a wizard with diagnosing things. He was explaining how soapy bubbles will show a small leak. Under .005 Inch. Anything larger and it wont bubble. I mean it still kinda shows but ya dont get the big bubbles like ya do with smaller leak.s
Dude, if that was my truck i would soak the whole frame and body down with fluid film, living in michigan non of my vehicles rusted out after spraying the inside of the doors, tailgate, rocker panels, hood, complete undercarriage Etc with it. i bought the Pro kit off amazon comes with 2 gallons and the sprayer and spray cans with a 360 degree hose for going up into the rocker panels and doors. it was used by the Navy back in the 50tys, they sprayed their ballast tanks to prevent rusting, its a Lanolin wax, great stuff.
I did that to my pickup truck one year and it just collected a crazy amount of dust , like half inch thick. I guess it works but I hate having a thick film on there of dust and oil. I plan on stripping everything down and repainting everything. maybe even with POR15. I will go the extra mile to make it nice again
Jesse, something else that works really good for cleaning greasy parts is the “Super Clean” cleaner-degreaser. I think it works even better than brake clean. You can get a gallon of it for $10 or so, just spray it on the part, and hose it off with compressed air. Doesn’t dry your hands out like brake clean will either
One suggestion would be a removable bed on adjustable legs. This way would could just have a carry bed with low sides then you have an option of building a second removable bed with a box camper for it that gives you a multi use truck and you have some flexibility. I wonder how a 20’ shipping container measures out maybe ?
Hahhahha , "it will drive like a Cadillac with some weight on it", I love it , I give similar arguments my wife but they never come true , I hope yours do. Thanks for the awesome video again.
I think its time for some form of blast cabinet Jesse, would be a huge help in refurbishing used equipment. But that means having a more serious compressor to make it work well. Great work as usual!
Hej dear Jesse, thank you very much for the wonderful videos, you encourage me to watch your videos again and again until the end. And you motivate me to tackle projects like this. I'm currently working on a small project with a skid steer compact loader. Thank you very much for that and great respect on my part, as others have already described, there seems to be no stopping you from truck building :`D what's next? What really appeals to me personally is your compact loader, I just love it. Thanks for the many videos, I'm always looking forward to another one, definitely keep it up. √
Better get yourself a good sand blaster and a diesel compressor for that project. Getting a truck from the North is always a challenge due to the rust. Nice rig Jesse, I’m sure you will do it justice!
Definitely keep it simple, light(er) and cheap as you can. I wonder if your other step fail was really because it covered the battery. Being buried in projects can get suffocating. It can suck away too much mental energy. Greetings from Australia.
I just want to see the frame sand blasted and primed to see the condition of where your starting at! .. glad to see you could down grade your gvw to 26000
Sure ya know but SOAPY WATER is yer friend w the hunting down the air leaks! Congrats on the crew cab! Wild to see so much grease AND rust! We do not see corrosion like ya guys do here in west coast! Very excited to follow yer channel man! Cheers from Santa Cruz Ca
When you remove the rear axle, that will be the time to address the frame. It will then be easier to remove air lines and harness. Before going hog wild with sandblasting or laser, try a needle scaler. I think most of that rust is surface and will drop right off with a compressor run needle scaler. HF has an inexpensive McGraw brand name that works pretty good. If you are swapping axles, it wont be that hard to remove the cross members, which you will probably have to do to move your drive shaft carrier bearing. Then the whole rear frame is exposed. JC Smith Projects has some good videos on moving axles and a slick way to quickly move the holes for spring carriers and bump stops (you probably already saw). Once all the stuff is off, you can probably scale the back in about an hour or two. POR15 is pretty expensive and some people have had mixed results. You might consider using a rust converter first, and then use a self-etching primer and some good old Rustoleum or some tractor paint will probably be good enough. Tractor Supply sells some farm/implement paint by the brand name Majic. You can get a whole gallon of it for $60. Definitely get the Catalyst/Hardener. For $85, you will have enough for the frame, fuel tanks, steps, etc. They also have some Rust Kutter for the rust conversion. I think it is just phosporic acid though. If you pre-treat with that, wipe down with some acetone. The self-etching primer basically has some acid in it already. The factory frame looks like that because the stuff they put on at the factory is $hit. It will be harder to address the front end, but again removing the front axle will give you much more access. You have some rot on the lower body. There is where the hours can burn. Hopefully the cab floor pans are solid. A diesel tank with a pump behind the cab would be good and the tool boxes on either side of it. I just got a 8'x9' brand new Knapheide steel flatbed with the removable steel sides from a place called Fayette Trailers in Cocolamus, PA for $2300. Might be 250 miles from where you are though.
yea I plan on putting many hours into this truck. Atleast I know it will be worth it. I probably have 100 hours into my pickup truck just for it to keep rotting away with the stupid box frame. I will never buy another truck with a box frame unless I get it for almost nothing and only plan on having it a short time. That is why I got this truck. Because I know I can maintain that C channel frame
@@jmuller86 Yeah, spent most of the winter restoring a +20 yo Toyota that had the famous Dana sourced frames. I carefully inspected it for deterioration prior to purchase on my back with a flashlight. It looked good. Until afterwards when I discovered the seller filled rotten voids with expanding foam, body filler, and undercoating. Thanks for the deception. I am almost done with one more welded steel patch to do. That too is boxed. I think the key to those is a liberal annual coating of a "fluid film". You can make your own with used oil, a tube of grease and a melted wax ring used to seal a commode. Heat outside to melt/mix, load into a gun and shoot it. That can at least go a long way to preserve. The trouble starts with a lack of treatment from the factory because it costs to treat the interior of the box. With a C-channel, if properly treated (acid/primed/painted), you can just pressure wash to rinse the sodium and calcium chloride, and touch up as needed. If you maintain it regularly, you can prevent it from ever getting to the point your International is. When you were inspecting your brakes and suspension components, the hardware looked pretty crusty. I would replace your brake chambers. Maybe the replacement axle will have better ones, or buy new for those. You may have a lot of parts you will want to replace to get everything properly sorted for the long haul. It will add up. In some sense, by the time you buy everything you need, it may have been better to spend more initially to source a southern or western truck, but we'll see. It will be fun to watch in any event. We know you will get the job done.
Hello Jesse. If it ends up being a travel truck, perhaps a sleeper would be more fitting. You always do the right thing, so we will just find out what happens. Have good days!
How about a large camper on the back , so you can use it for traveling? Plus it would be awesome with the 4 wheel drive and a camper back !! What a blast for the family !! Love the videos, if I lived out east we would definitely be friends !! Thanks brother.
The leaking part around the 10 minute mark is a regulator. Carefully remove and clean but the sealing faces were a little feral. If you get some very fine sand paper on a sheet of glass, rub the faces till they come clean and even. You could try draw-filing but be careful. When ready to put back together, wash parts dry and use a small smear of gasket silicone on the outer seal surface, now re-clamp parts back together but only nip them up, let it cure for a few hours in warm place then tighten some more, fit and check for leak. If you still have issue, replace the diaphragm.
The registration difference is all single vs tandum rear axles I believe. Or that is how it was where I lived. The insurance difference is massive too.
This vehicle could become many things with your talent. Maybe being used a lot to have some family time and trips would be something that you'll value and build memories with the family.?🤔?🙂

Jesse is a very talented man. Plumber, Welder, Electrician, Construction equipment operator, Carpenter, Mechanic etc. Good work Jesse.

You forgot Dad!@@paulharvey1947
This channel is quickly becoming my favorite for heavy equipment content. Used to be diesel creek but his video have been straight cheeks lately.
Thanks for sharing. I am so glad I don’t live where rust is an issue.
I am up north like him , I'm so sick of rust completely eating away everything in a blink of the eye !!! FJB
Yup, can’t ever have anything nice.
So pleased Jesse. You make these video's for me to watch. From Trucks to buildings. threre no stopping you. When you put your talent to work. Thank you young man.
YOU can do it too
This truck is gonna be awesome. It's crazy how many people in the comments are afraid of a little surface rust.
Surface rust? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That frame needs to be cleaned and painted or that thing will be a dream in a few years
You are so stupid it's unfunny and painting the frame isn't everything as long as it runs and drives its perfect
Very enjoyable to watch a young family do productive things. I wish you all the best on your endeavors. You seam to have what it takes t make it all happen with a little common sense thrown.

One of the best channels on UA-cam!

bless you all💚🤍❤💚🤍❤💚🤍❤💯💯💯💚🤍❤💚🤍❤💚🤍❤
Man i used to live in Iowa and i don't miss all that rust. Always hated working on all my rusty junk. Now i just have junk. Nice repairs!
I've been really excited about this series, I've been checking daily for a new video. Thank you!
Jesse, i'm surprized that u had pass inspection without a front bumper! Butt u did pass. good job getting all of the things fixed.. ur kids like the truck.

That is a exciting project thanks for sharing with us Jesse.
Very nice start on your dream truck, good to see you hanging with your family.
Loved the drive at the end! Always enjoy your videos.
Ici en France, lors de son inspection technique, vu son état, ce camion irait directement à la casse. Bon courage pour la remise en état.
Here in France, based on its condition during its technical inspection, this truck would go straight to the scrapyard. Good luck with the refurbishment.
Same here in Norway. Trucks have strict laws, yearly inspection for any vehicle over 3500 kg

Great work, Jesse. Looking forward to the next part of this project 💪🏼😄
People are gonna love you at the drive-in. LOL Feels so good to clear out space and come home with cash in your pocket. Keep up the good work.
Very good on your explanations, you definitely have to have a vision on what you want the truck to do! Keep up the good content looking forward to the next one

lol same!

I very much enjoyed the video. Always amazed how much work you put into your projects and how much you know❤❤❤❤❤
made good money during my lifetime selling scrap - theres survivors and there everyone else-enjoying this build JESSE
Great upload man! Way better than part 1, It had so many ads that I couldn't finish watching it. This is a huge improvement!
I'd be so tempted to turn a trailer into living accommodation so you can take the family across country.
8:00 Im a auto shop owner in PA. I was watching a video by Bernie Thompson. He is a wizard with diagnosing things. He was explaining how soapy bubbles will show a small leak. Under .005 Inch. Anything larger and it wont bubble. I mean it still kinda shows but ya dont get the big bubbles like ya do with smaller leak.s
The men on both sides of my family were all truckers. So Im not gonna lie, Im super curious to watch future progress on your build.
I'm really looking forward to the follow up videos on this truck thank you.
That would be a great base for a living unit that can be easily removed for work and put on for vacation.
Dude, if that was my truck i would soak the whole frame and body down with fluid film, living in michigan non of my vehicles rusted out after spraying the inside of the doors, tailgate, rocker panels, hood, complete undercarriage Etc with it.

I always wanted a 7400 or 7600 crew cab fleet truck just cab and chassis they always look so cool
Nice family car dude, you be styling and profiling.
Nice to see you a gain
One suggestion would be a removable bed on adjustable legs. This way would could just have a carry bed with low sides then you have an option of building a second removable bed with a box camper for it that gives you a multi use truck and you have some flexibility.

Hahhahha , "it will drive like a Cadillac with some weight on it", I love it , I give similar arguments my wife but they never come true , I hope yours do. Thanks for the awesome video again.
I’m so excited to see what thing is gonna look like in the future.
You have a dump truck.
I would think a heavy duty winch would be more suited.
Great video as usual
Cheers.
Spray bottle of soapy water is always my best friend for finding leaks
I think its time for some form of blast cabinet Jesse, would be a huge help in refurbishing used equipment. But that means having a more serious compressor to make it work well. Great work as usual!
Alright ,hanging out with Jesse on a Friday! Coffees on! Cheers!;-)! Pumped!;-)!

If you pre-treat with that, wipe down with some acetone. The self-etching primer basically has some acid in it already. The factory frame looks like that because the stuff they put on at the factory is $hit. It will be harder to address the front end, but again removing the front axle will give you much more access. You have some rot on the lower body. There is where the hours can burn. Hopefully the cab floor pans are solid. A diesel tank with a pump behind the cab would be good and the tool boxes on either side of it. I just got a 8'x9' brand new Knapheide steel flatbed with the removable steel sides from a place called Fayette Trailers in Cocolamus, PA for $2300. Might be 250 miles from where you are though.
yea I plan on putting many hours into this truck. Atleast I know it will be worth it. I probably have 100 hours into my pickup truck just for it to keep rotting away with the stupid box frame. I will never buy another truck with a box frame unless I get it for almost nothing and only plan on having it a short time. That is why I got this truck. Because I know I can maintain that C channel frame
@@jmuller86 Yeah, spent most of the winter restoring a +20 yo Toyota that had the famous Dana sourced frames. I carefully inspected it for deterioration prior to purchase on my back with a flashlight. It looked good. Until afterwards when I discovered the seller filled rotten voids with expanding foam, body filler, and undercoating. Thanks for the deception. I am almost done with one more welded steel patch to do. That too is boxed. I think the key to those is a liberal annual coating of a "fluid film". You can make your own with used oil, a tube of grease and a melted wax ring used to seal a commode. Heat outside to melt/mix, load into a gun and shoot it. That can at least go a long way to preserve. The trouble starts with a lack of treatment from the factory because it costs to treat the interior of the box.
With a C-channel, if properly treated (acid/primed/painted), you can just pressure wash to rinse the sodium and calcium chloride, and touch up as needed. If you maintain it regularly, you can prevent it from ever getting to the point your International is. When you were inspecting your brakes and suspension components, the hardware looked pretty crusty. I would replace your brake chambers. Maybe the replacement axle will have better ones, or buy new for those. You may have a lot of parts you will want to replace to get everything properly sorted for the long haul. It will add up. In some sense, by the time you buy everything you need, it may have been better to spend more initially to source a southern or western truck, but we'll see. It will be fun to watch in any event. We know you will get the job done.
Great opening shot!!
looking forward too see where you take this project!
Jesse, looking forward to seeing the next video!!
Hey Jesse, Im new to your channel but I just wanted to say I love the International .
so nice long movies of you wowww makes my day good
I really enjoyed this video, maybe you can also consider the option to boxing it, so you can keep your stuff dry.
Great video 👍 17.31 "saftey squints" engaged 😂 love it.
I got a kick out of Jesse selling the truck to the family! I am sure when it is done, it’s gonna be GUD!
Hello Jesse. If it ends up being a travel truck, perhaps a sleeper would be more fitting. You always do the right thing, so we will just find out what happens. Have good days!
How about a large camper on the back , so you can use it for traveling? Plus it would be awesome with the 4 wheel drive and a camper back !! What a blast for the family !! Love the videos, if I lived out east we would definitely be friends !! Thanks brother.
I love that new garage.
Former nysdot mechanic Nd I thought those trucks where rode rough and put away wet..until I saw this central hudson truck. That thing is rough.
This was actually a csx truck but almost same thing yea
Jesse Muller, new name: Mr. Do It All. Nice job brother.
Hey that is a nice truck. 👍👍👍
The leaking part around the 10 minute mark is a regulator. Carefully remove and clean but the sealing faces were a little feral. If you get some very fine sand paper on a sheet of glass, rub the faces till they come clean and even. You could try draw-filing but be careful. When ready to put back together, wash parts dry and use a small smear of gasket silicone on the outer seal surface, now re-clamp parts back together but only nip them up, let it cure for a few hours in warm place then tighten some more, fit and check for leak. If you still have issue, replace the diaphragm.
Cool teeruk! She's a little crispy underneath though... ugh that east coast salt is why we can't have nice things (without a lot of work, anyway).. 😢
man you gotta get all the undercarriage rust taken care of. wool wax is what I use once a year to stop rust.
I thought I was watching diesel creek for a second at the start!😊
The registration difference is all single vs tandum rear axles I believe. Or that is how it was where I lived. The insurance difference is massive too.
Talk about your family " Truckster" Drive that to Wally World.🍻
Your a good dad.
This vehicle could become many things with your talent. Maybe being used a lot to have some family time and trips would be something that you'll value and build memories with the family.?🤔?🙂
German TÜV Engineers having a nervous breakdown only from watching the brakes and air tanks.. :)))
WERE LUCKY HERE IN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 NO SNOW NO SALT NO RUSTED CHASSIS 👍👍
All wheeled drive trucks are my favourite, anything else is garbage.
For your heating situation there may be a valve under hood to shut off coolant to cab even with a good ac if coolants flowing into cab itll be hot
