I AM GOING TO USE THIS TRUCK FOR PARTS. I NEED TO REMOVE THE BOX AND THE LIFT GATE TODAY. I WILL BE USING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IN ANOTHER TRUCK.
Great video thanks brother. Glad it was uneventful. I will be waiting for the next video. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
Great job.. with my experience in logging ....I would look where it is going to fall if something goes wrong and stay out of that area. The point where you stopped the video (ran out of batter) while lowering was pretty hairy. Glad it was uneventful. I wonder if it would be easier to lift each end while it is on the truck and place blocks so you can lift the box from the middle with one piece of equipment. I lifted a 20 ft sea can from the middle with my forklift . That way you can lower it under much more control. An alternative would have a tow truck with a tilt and lift winch the box off the truck bed. Thats how I move my sea can from jobsite to jobsite costs $150 -$200 including mileage.
Nice work .. un eventful is a good thing in this case! I personally would rather this than a live video because I can always come back to it! Keep up the good work!
I've never seen a vehicle get any better by just sitting around. You got a perfect donor for the parts you need and will re purpose it and make someone a good low mileage work truck. Plans drawn in sand....lol Work safe !
Good afternoon. Nice truck u bought. I see as a donor it will probably help at least 4 other trucks to keep going. Can't wait to see the next upload. Have a great day.
This is a good example for the International vs Freightliner debate! The Freightliner M2 has an Aluminum cab so it wouldn't have rusted. But the steel cab of the International is supposedly stronger. 20ft isn't too common of a box size around here. Mainly see 26,24 and 16.
saving some long truck frame rails.. to allow you to make some A frame stands that are high enough allow the truck to be driven out from under the box.. but also save some frame rails like 12 to 14 foot long to sit on top of the A frame stands. if you box in the ends of the frame rails.. you can lift then into place with a fork of your track loader. this allows you to back under the box with most trailers to then only set it down. use some 6 foot and 8 foot sections of frame rail to weld into pallets to set boxes on.. allowing a decent sized fork lift to move boxes or truck beds around.. since its going to be stacked 2 or 3 layers.. your forks can slide in the end and not damage the sides of the bed by sitting on the ground. its all up to what you want to do with your plasma cutter. just thoughts..
i dont remove a box from a truck unless it is sold. i dont need to move them around. i just lift them up and driver the truck out from under it. i dont do too many of these and really dont want to invest the truck frame or the time to build it but thanks for the thought.
I watched your video with the discussion about building a new shop and would like to send some pictures of my sons shop. I believe it is along the same plan as you are talking about. Is there any way I can send them without making it a public showing
Mr Jc, i have an 05 f150 with the 4.2 v6. what would cause it to have an issue with hot starts? a lot of times it will turn over and then either skip a beat then start, or it dies but will start on the next try.
Anyone know of a place that sells refrigerated boxes to replace dry boxes on trucks? Is that possible to remove a box as you did and replace it with a refrigerated one?? Thanks.
Great work ! I have the same kind of truck with box I’m going to be shortening but I have a few questions if you can respond to this it will be great would like to get your output
waynes voltage drop test.. i.imgur.com/kviX0VQ.jpg the parasitic draw test.. i.imgur.com/y0cf5nx.jpg you will need a better battery cut off switch than that for trucks. the parasitic draw test allows you to monitor the 0.040 amps. or 40 milliamps of expected draw by the computer, radio and BCM.
Nice job Mr and Mrs JC, I see a frame for the 65 IH, can't wait! Keep up the good work sir!
thats right matthew....finally!! a good clean usable frame for the 65!
Great video thanks brother. Glad it was uneventful. I will be waiting for the next video. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
as usual....the plans may have changed!

good point bob! these boxes usually come off pretty smooth.....unless i forget to unhook something!
Haven't been able to catch any live feeds or videos due to my new job and this hurricane bud take care doing my best to watch them 👍🏻
take care of you and yours during this storm! we will be thinking of you!
I've never seen a vehicle get any better by just sitting around.

Work safe !
all my plans are written in sand! a good breeze and it all changes!

it is going to fix 2 for sure!! who know how many small parts will be used on many many trucks.
@@j.c.smithprojects I like every aspect about it reminds me when I worked in the junkyard and would do the same thing.
Great video jc
Thanks for showing the chains set up
That truck is still in good shape. A lot less work to fix it than to swap everything over onto another frame.. or am I missing something..

This is not a typical international of this age. however, an all aluminum cab would be nice.

very kewl
Informative video! How far can one drive with the u-bolts removed? What would cause the box to come off? Thanks
you can drive it around a lot, but definitely do not drive it on the road
What specs on a chasis would I need for 26ft box?
Mr Jc, i have an 05 f150 with the 4.2 v6. what would cause it to have an issue with hot starts? a lot of times it will turn over and then either skip a beat then start, or it dies but will start on the next try.
Did you check for dtc's? if there are no codes, i would look at fuel pressure to start with.

The benefits of parts vehicles, even when you're working on stuff that a lot of people would still consider to be pretty new...
there wont be much left of this truck when i am done with it.....or will the remaining parts live as something else????
another day and another truck tore apart!! What would the box off the 2010 F150 sell for? was just curious as my cousin needs one for his 08
it is dented on the driver side. couple hundred mike.
What kind of money did you get out of the box?
Could you remove the body without cutting the lift gate off?
Would it have been worth or posible to have converted the truck box into a enclosed trailer?
the man who bought it has set it on an old camper frame. he is using it as an enclosed trailer.
lol I was just thinking about doing the same thing
Great work ! I have the same kind of truck with box I’m going to be shortening but I have a few questions if you can respond to this it will be great would like to get your output
Shortening is easy
J.C. SMITH PROJECTS can you please email jrodea94@gmail.com it’s my first time ever doing anything like this
i have several videos of this procedure....have you seen them?
J.C. SMITH PROJECTS yes I have just wanted to know like how did you measure or get the measurements to drill holes for the suspension
re-watch the last one i did....it explains it all
I am looking for engine cab for my international truck 2008 ..do you have one?
What make and model plasma cutter are you using
its a hypotherm.
@@j.c.smithprojects very nice
Anyone knows how much a new box cost on one of these?
I've seen a few online for 1500 and up
What the size of those u bolts
How much does it cost to buy a box for the truck
they vary. some are cheaper than others. it depends on size, condition and construction type.
No videos on re-installing a head on a box truck. Having trouble installing. The head weighs about 300 pounds or so
pick up one the engine hoists from hobo freight. it should reach in far enough.
What do you think that box weighs?
Most fully build trucks before he took the box off are 13500 empty.
The frame would be good for your rat rod International build
you are good tracey! those are my intentions.
It will be a very good frame for it
Can you put a bigger box on a box truck like 16ft to 24ft
You’ll run out of frame
i am so scared every time I have to trust hydraulics... even for a second. were you?
when you went between the skids and the steer :)
i'm with you justin....i hate relying on hydraulics.
Could you put a 26 foot box on the truck
Can you swap a 20ft box with a 26ft?
I have a 20 foot box on my 2000 International.
Remember , that chasis length . That frame is not as long .
Will not work.
Dude, its not your little track, its big enough.

Why so much cancer was it a flood damage truck?
nice to have money isnt it
wouldnt know...
and where are your safety glasses?
I had a auto dimming welding helmet on the whole time!
i seen that but you wasn't wearing safety glasses when you was hammering bolts and brackets off under box. lol
busted!!!
