Love to see another L8000 kept on the road. Their front ends are some of the best.
You show a great deal of pride in your equipment; making it all look good. Hopefully that translates to success. I am too far away to use your services; but would based on the way your stuff looks. Best wishes for a happy, healthy and successful 2023!
I appreciate that. I do my best to keep everything clean looking
That’s a cool setup with the hydraulic pump. Mixers and plow trucks all have those. It runs off a shaft from the motor rather then a geared pto off the trans
Starting watching you when AC mentioned you. That was a great repair, years ago I learned from old Russian videos to wrap the tire with ratcheting strap when filling., in case it blows won’t take your head off..
Looks fantastic, great job, thank you
I’m not super handy but learn a lot from your videos. Impressed that u take the time to set up the camera angles. Super helpful.
Nice truck, happy new year
Great video Dave. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week
Tusen takk for videoen Dave.👍🤗👍🇸🇯
i saw your video and i'm very impressed with the pride you put in your equipment
Thanks for the video Dave 👍👍
No problem 👍
We use a 3” cup wire wheel brush on a Dewalt angle grinder when cleaning water mains , works great on rust
Nice derusting and fender upgrade . You are a hard working guy Dumpster Dave !
Thanks
Looks good! Great job
Great find I drove the 9000 and they were nice to operate best wishes with you new find,
Nice job David Looks good Happy New Year
Mighty fine good job brand new rebuilt!! God bless!!
Thanks
DD, when u took-off the second fender and it came off, and it hit the door, and the door came-off the building,
I was laughing my butt-off. You Sir have the repair shop of all repair shops.. L8000 looks sharp..
Haha
AWESOME JOB! What a nice clean truck. Thanks for sharing and a Happy New Year to you. Take care from Canada eh!
@Dumpster_Dave435 SEND NOW YOU SCAM WOW BROWN COW.
Great job 👍
Nice truck, good bones, u can make new fenders very easily, best of luck
Love the way you make these vehicles look great again. You do a fine job making them pretty and it shows your attention to detail Dave. Keep up the clean vehicles.
Thanks
Safety first, nice of you pointing out the hazerds of inflating a tire. Nice video. Good luck.
Great job, both the truck TLC and editing. Best of luck with your business & channel
Thanks
Before painting rusty metal, after prep like you did, get some OSPHO from your local hardware store like ACE and put it in a spray pump bottle and spray all the metal down and let it sit overnight. It will turn black and neutralize the rust and be ready for paint, no need for primer. works like a charm. I've done several rusty trailers and it makes the paint last a long time.
Thanks for info
Nice work Dave looks good.
Thanks
Great work Dave, for a 1990 that thing cleaned up very nicely. Well done.
Hi. Just came over from Camarada. Thanks for the content.
Welcome
Hard work; good results. I can see why you're Andrew's friend.
Thanks
Happy new year my friend ❤ love from morocoo ❤
Happy New Year thanks for watching
Nice to see someone who knows to take onions off of people food before giving it to your dog. Far too many people don’t seem to realize that onions are actually hazardous to dogs and can kill them! (Same with chocolate, grapes/raisins, etc.)
Great video on an awesome old truck. The Ford L-Series remain some of my favorite trucks ever produced. My only question is, how do you get parts for them these days?
Metro ford
I've never seen a truck tire pulled off the rim and put back on by hand. great
Nice video and a cameo appearance by s-10 Glenn :)
Dave, you work almost as hard as Andrew. Just kidding I think you both work equally as hard to keep your business running.
BAWHAhahahahahaha the door thing was hilarious....needed a good laugh !!
Blew it right off the hinges
its amazing how much corrosion gets in the gasket area of the tail lights. just doing that same crap with my 04 F350 with a deck on it. I swear thats gonna rust out before the deck lol
All the salt and sand likes to collect there
Nice tire tools Camarata needed those on his roller tire change
Yeah
Just found your channel great content 👌 👍
Thanks
Next time you do a rust restoration, use Ospho over the leftover rust then prime & paint.
Diablo D0748CF STEEL DEMON 7 1/4 inch 48 Teeth Metal works much better than the disk.
Muy bueno el video!!!
Those tires are MEATY. Nice. Definitely put that on your other truck, especially if you drive it during the winter.
that's a dam nice truck what a buy....
Hi Dave, I jumped on board your channel cuz I saw your work with AC. It seems to me that your content and editing is improving. Keep up the good work. Say hi to AC
Nice haul truck
Thanks
In our local area (West Central Illinois), the county has a chemical/electronic recycle center where you can browse through pallets of paint for free. I have found new cans of industrial 2-part Epoxy that's great for vehicle frames.
That’s cool we don’t have that here
There is another Dumpster Dave in Illinois that we always get calls for funny
If you sand off the tops of those spider legs those wheels will slide on alot easier !
I hit them with the wire wheel before putting wheels back on.
Enjoy your videos. Use heat gun next time for the decals
Happy New Year Dave. I do like the plastic fenders way better than metal, it`s most the pity that you guy`s have to put up with the salt tho
Salt definitely destroys everything
the claw hammer wins again!
I like that red dumpster. Red is my better half's favourite colour. And those fenders, seems like the ideal application for plastic! You've mentioned tire prices as a sidenote in several of your videos. For a guy who has almost no idea, what would an ideal set of 10 new tires for a rig like that in your area cost? Probably as much or more a you paid for the truck. I know my little dually cost over 1k for middle of the road Coopers.
$2800 plus tax for just 8 tires. I put decent ones on but yeah the other truck runs everyday, this truck is just a back up.
I really miss the Ford louisville trucks. It's a dang shame they got out of that business. It seems like every truck these days is a Volvo or Freightliner. We need some variety!
Passenger from indicator looks a bit strange
👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
From North Carolina South used has almost no rust . None from winter road salt
i done these many times get a cage dont wait for it to happen..
Congratulations on the second truck! That’s a good feeling knowing you have backup just in case. Plus you could hire a second guy if you wanted…or gal I guess. Lol.
Very interesting video. It is nice seeing you build up your equipment and business. FYI, welding flash is not entertainment, however it could be a liability. Take care and looking forward to seeing more. We also like the fact that you do not have to have your face stuck in the camera lens as a lot of new sites do.
You can't get welding flash through a camera...
are you implying that your screen can produce the intensity required to give you arc flash? if so your completely wrong.
@@masterhec0 He better be careful opening up a blank word document if that's the case
New viewer. How many trucks you running? Your videos have a pete and a mack and now this ford.
4 trucks
Great buy, Did you grease the driveshaft and check the transmission and rear end gear oil ?
Yes
@@Dumpster_Dave I wish you well this year !!!
Thanks
Earplugs for you & your dog? Thanks. We worry about ya guys!
Hopefully Guy gave you a good deal.
He did
Where those fenders from?
I have to look at the brand name, they were from a local store
Did you keep this truck or sold it?
Sold it
heat gun may have worked better…damn wheel stripped the paint off
The rubber wheel didn’t take the paint off
With thousands of square feet of vinyl decal removal experience... you would go faster and with more adhesive removal with a heat gun!
Yeah that’s the down fall with the rubber wheel
Are you removing the good rear tyres and putting on worn ones?
There legal
I think he mentioned swapping the better/newer tires on this truck with some with more miles on them from another rig that get's used daily. Makes sense if this rig isn't going to see daily service in demanding conditions. Put the better tires on the better truck, was the thinking I took away from his comments.
@@AnomadAlaska ah, I missed that, thanks
👀👀💪💪🍺🍺👍👍
Hey ketchup bad for dog 'll knot trying to be a smartass thx
Wow yeah I just looked it up. Didn’t know the salt in ketchup can hurt them.
Thanks for that. I buy hamburgers for my dogs now and then as a treat. I'll make sure to ask for no condiments. Just meat cheese and bread.
Great job Dave! Nice and clean. You know what you’re doing.
Why cut off those sassy old fenders? Some prep and paint and they were good for many more years 😂
😆
Too bad those tires don't go on as easy as they come off
Small world, I bought an older f-350 From the same DeGannaro’s about 12 years ago
That’s funny
buying a truck with no rear tires kinda silly
I just swap them from the other truck
