Nice work! I take a clear plastic bottle with a lid on it. IE cola ,dish liquid , even have used an empty brake bottle ,but you cant see through it. drill a hole through it to fit a vacume hose through. the hose has to be able to snuggly fit the bleedr on the caliper so no leaks. Also long enough to go through bottle to the bottom. add a little brake fluid to cover the hose ,and start from the furthest away from the master (right rear) end with the closest (left front). Crack the bleeder put the hose on ,and pump until you see the bottle about a 1/4 full then check the fluid in the master ,and go to the next which should be the left rear - right front - left front. By the time your done the bottle should be full ,and all air will be gone. I do like the brake bleeding system you made there ,but in my mind it introduces some air into the system.
Heard from Penny’s that he has known you along time and you are a good guy. I am 65, have a degree in mechanical engineering, and grew up as the Son of a junkyard owner,( myDad) after serving in the Navy, I went home to Texas and my Dad and I really went to town on hot rods , drag strip, you name it. I will be 65 next month and have no intention of stopping. You remind me of myself. Love the laid back attitude and your love for your dogs. I do not understand why Bad Chad has any followers. He is an idiot. In America, he couldnot get his rat rods certified. You could. You do it right
I learn something every time I watch you working on your projects. You could paint it the same color as the General and make it the shop beater truck, great show.
Great video I wish your videos were 1 hour long and then we could get more of a fantastic video we love your videos Brent and I can't wait to see the next video. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌
You are the best innovator and all around mechanic, body man, electrician, welder, etc, I have ever seen, and you do all those things and make it look as if it was planned by a professional planner. I would really like to visit your shop, but that is not possible for various reasons. I admire the way you jump in head first and start cutting and welding and fabricating the parts you need.
the more i see you use that plasma table, the more i can see it being very handy to have one in my shop. some of the brackets you make are really nice.
Yeah it's fairly simple setup not much dollars into it. it does make my life so much easier haha as I can't make 2 brackets the same to save my life free hand.
Well big brother....happy Sunday to ya. We need this type of to do stuff down here in the lower 40s, I see you have a different way of bleeding brakes than I do, but as long as your happy, I'm happy. Its always good to drop in on ya to see what your up too. stay cool..
This is going to make a great panel truck for someone , unless as you get closer to finishing it up you decide to keep it as another shop truck, it is coming along nicely.
Thats how I started bleeding brakes . I use 5psi air and capture fluid at the bleeder with clear plastic tubing . Do it until the bubbles are gone. Great video as always.
Scuffle along bolt'n a crunchy panel van body down, front n rear mounts, the ones dat counts r sound. Plumb them front brake lines n bleed m down, replacement column n plazma'd plates for steering around. Pablo, pet dat faithful hound!
Watching you build that big crew cab gave the idea of a 68 Biscayne wagon or 4-door with the back end cut off and an El Camino back end/box attached and set on a 4x4 frame. If you look at the back door window, the angle, looks the same as the El Camino. And although I recently came into a could of GM club cab 4x4's, a million other ideas ahead of it.
I like the way you think things out. You make it look so easy but I know it's not. I did a 53 Chevy half-ton with a 327 hi-performance with 202 heads. My brother-in-law worked at the General Motors proving grounds belt the engine.
(Re-brakes )I used to use one of those hand pump wast oil vac pumps .made a rubber fitting to go over the brake nipple. Pull a vacuum on the brake line and just keep topping up the oil .worked a treat .allso I put a paint filter in side the pump to catch the crud from the lines
Video will not load.... It loaded. You changed out the steering column. Lot of steps involved but definitely an easy task for you!!!! I enjoy your builds!!!! Keep on keeping on!!
Wow, wish I had that cutting table! I had to make a similar bracket on my 66 F100 project where I had to use cut off wheels. . .uuugh I need one of those!!! Nice work again. I wish I was in the market for that truck, I'd buy it from you in a heart beat. . .but complete of course. . .lol
I built a set up similar to the one you built except I use a air filter that they use on paint guns to catch the any water that could be in the air supply hose
nice job man, the rear floor would be fine made of wooden planks and aluminum strips and also in my opinion steel wheels would be fine, perhaps with spider caps 😎👌
Most expensive part of the build? The lumber for the floor in the back!🤣 I'm quite sure you got that figured out too Brent! Maybe traded an older project for your own sawmill. You might get bored with a project, but you power thru like no one I've ever seen!
Excellent video Halfass Kustoms ( Brent) :) come together nicely also working excellent to on fix also for steering wheel clean used some 50% vinegar also 50% water mix and clean up nicely for also use old towels are clean rag rub till feel like new then rub on clean rag with light skim of Vaseline around it tell shine also all rough off it!
I was always taught to bleed brakes from the furthermost first, for a couple of reasons. 1 that a longer the line the easier it is to compress the air, so clearing that first makes it easier on the shorter lines. I Understand the separate line for each brake probably makes little difference to my suggested way, but thought I would share it with you anyway, Also when you put the two halves of the steering column mount to the firewall, putting the top one so it flows outside the cab if it gets wet is not a silly idea, Water tends to take the easiest path.. (mostly)
I’m late to te party but here goes. Twenty(?) years ago there was a panel van from a market gardener like this sitting just south of the floodway gates that disappeared maybe a decade later. Could this be the same truck? More to my interest was that there was a Diamond T cab over beside it which is also gone. I wondered what became of both.
Didn't quite get everything done, but you didn't have to punch the clock ⌚, and you can rest when you slide down in your recliner and sip a cool one, rest easy dude !
@@howardkoster4026 Working on old stuff bring peace. Now if we could get those corporate A holes on Capitol Hill start messing with old cars. The world be a better place. Everyone be driving cool shit.
@@brianjacobsen5762 don't get me started with Capitol hill/ corporate America "A" holes..Them? Work on old cars? Those cars would NEVER run....They can't close an umbrella!!!!
When you first started working on this beast I thought to myself what an ugly duckling that panel truck is, brutal. Now that's I've watched up til now I'm kinda liking this thing, now I can understand why folks kinda like these things. They really are cool looking trucks from the old days, they really are. Its like I've grown attached to it in someway. How weird is that? I can see why their becoming popular again.
dude, I sure wish I had the money too buy that bad ass dodge. hell I remember my old 56 dodge she didn't have the speed as most trucks of her day. but in the end left the rest wanting everything else.
I'm impressed with all your tools and your expectance. The work is just short of, Well you know. Nice RAT RODS. I'm a show and go guy. Too each there own. Great Video's
haha, will be for sale when I get some more work done on it. Trying to get the bulk of the work done so it a smaller project for someone down the road.
OCD Guy here! I thought you said you were going to add water to the cutting table? While I'm sorting out the exhaust pipe van I'll top up the water in the table. Just tryin to help.
Thanks Brent. Always a pleasure to spend a little time watching you in your shop.👍

Thanks for the Sunday morning video. Your a magic man how you can fabricate everything you need to make it work. Love the progress.
Good Day Brent, Nice update work on the panel, it's progress!
You will get it... Amazed how much you accomplish after working all day.
Love seeing the C.A.D. (cardboard aided design) before the real C.A.D.-- Great video Brent. Thanks again for sharing your Garage Time with us.
Great Timing Brent thanks for sharing made my Sunday morning !!
I love that bleeder tool. Anything to make it a one man operation is a win
Always a great video from Brent. The dog is sure to bring a smile whenever he's there. Or she, not sure didn't inspect the chassis!
Keep on trucking with the panel truck!
Your videos are always awesome, and the do it yourself break bleeder, genius 👍
Looking good Brent! I'm excited for the 54 as well. I really dig the 53's and 54's.
Great video I wish your videos were 1 hour long and then we could get more of a fantastic video we love your videos Brent and I can't wait to see the next video. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌

Agree with putting black steelies and dog dish hubcaps on it. Maybe even widen the steelies. Look forward to seeing it running. Be safe and stay well.
Your skill set is amazing to me. I love watching your builds.

Good video Brent. I’m enjoying the gmc panel build a lot. Thanks for sharing. 👍😄👉🇺🇸🇨🇦
Another great job done, Your getting closer! See you on the next one!!!
That plasma table is great when it works. Itching to see what's going to happen with the 54.
Been ordering motor stuff for it, gonna be a nice sleeper haha
I always enjoy your videos!

Hello from Austin Texas great job!!!
Question. how much did it cost to do everything you did to the 1959 gmc ?
Great progress 👍
Great job Brent as usual, love your channel.....and yes, really looking forward to you getting your 54 Bel Air in the garage 👍
Nice work looking foward to seeing her run🤟👍😊 from UK
Afternoon Brent, sometimes Murphy's law ruins the best laid out plans..have to work through them...God Bless!!!
Its coming along nicely Bud..I like your new Brake bleeding tool. Pretty cool..LOL...Cant wait to see it running and moving on its own power...
Love this build we dont have cool motors like this in france
As always I can't wait until the next one!
Always enjoy your time you share with us 👍🏿 always learn a lot from the great white north
👍🏻little by little it will get done!!! Great job as always!!!

Thank goodness for Beer boxes to do the Cad design with!!!!,lol
Them brake lines looked factory....great job man
Mark it and give it a little "shwink". Thank you for your good work!
Your doing a great job on the ole panel looking good
Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱
keep the great work man hope you have a great weekend paint my wheels on my 1934 Ford 2 door sedan
Video will not load....
It loaded.
You changed out the steering column. Lot of steps involved but definitely an easy task for you!!!!
I enjoy your builds!!!!
Keep on keeping on!!
Very nice work on the panel 👏👍👌😀
Cool as always👍
She's coming together. Nice job thus far.
Wow, wish I had that cutting table! I had to make a similar bracket on my 66 F100 project where I had to use cut off wheels. . .uuugh I need one of those!!! Nice work again. I wish I was in the market for that truck, I'd buy it from you in a heart beat. . .but complete of course. . .lol
Found an old pressure bleeder at an auction in the middle 70's....came in handy on those first 4 wheel disc brakes on the Corvettes.
I'm with you, ready to see her running. Patience is a virtue 😉
Great video my friend keep them coming always good.
Good luck dude, sorry I just can’t get into it..looking forward to your next project
Yeah, this one isn’t doing it for me either, but I’m still watching in case I might pick up some interesting ideas….
Brent's project needs a name once it's done.
My vote: Pablo's PBR Wagon 😂🍻🇺🇸🇸🇪👍
The flaring tool you had in the vice is sweet! Looks quick.
I made a vise adapter for my hydraulic flaring tool. Sure made it easier.
Yeah think Eastwood sells something similar no good for doing it on vehicles though haha
I built a set up similar to the one you built except I use a air filter that they use on paint guns to catch the any water that could be in the air supply hose
yeah I need a regulator and one of those things haha
Oh man, badass!!!!
nice job man, the rear floor would be fine made of wooden planks and aluminum strips and also in my opinion steel wheels would be fine, perhaps with spider caps 😎👌
YEAH! Top Dawg Carona and I doing a lil DAY drinking and BOOM! New video!
Most expensive part of the build? The lumber for the floor in the back!🤣 I'm quite sure you got that figured out too Brent! Maybe traded an older project for your own sawmill. You might get bored with a project, but you power thru like no one I've ever seen!
haha yeah the rear floor is gonna hurt :)
Great show love it
Vantastic....+ 1. for steelies .😎
You have very good tools, including computers. Thanks to share.
Excellent video Halfass Kustoms ( Brent) :) come together nicely also working excellent to on fix also for steering wheel clean used some 50% vinegar also 50% water mix and clean up nicely for also use old towels are clean rag rub till feel like new then rub on clean rag with light skim of Vaseline around it tell shine also all rough off it!
God bless an be safe have a great year
Great job
That old suburban is coming along pretty cool nice work as always thanks for the videos I'll keep watching looking forward to the 54 sedan also

Looks like the shocks are in for a repop!!!
Thanks for the brake hack, will try.
Cool way to bleed them. 😎👍🇨🇦
Thanks Very Cool Video

Love the coveralls!!!

yeah no idea where it came from I got it in some horse trading with a friend.
PBR ! Only thing better would be Schmidt Beer!
Solid guy I really enjoy learning.
This thing would be cool with steel wheels instead of the modern wheels
Didn't quite get everything done, but you didn't have to punch the clock ⌚, and you can rest when you slide down in your recliner and sip a cool one, rest easy dude !
Sounds like me!! I'm not where I thought I would be....lol!!
Where did you purchase the brake line tool that you were using in the vise
Would you happen to know the brand name and part # for the tool
Thank you
No idea what mine is but eastwood sells the similar unit
I thought you start the brake bleeding process at the wheel farthest from the reservoir to the closest? ;-)
haha that's the usual way but don't think it matters when you power bleed it as I'm not touching the pedal in this case.
Thanks. My kids just got boord. Found my wallet and go to the shops for. Boys and sweets..
👍👍😀
Goals for today. World peace. Get the travel all running.

Don’t forget get your digital gauge for your van and four door too
if you dislike this Panel so much I will gladly pay you for it. thanks,
