  • Spring is here, and that means open hunting season for classic iron. Beets the service truck and I will be on the road pretty much straight the next few months, hunting the "good junk". So, it's only fitting the truck get's some additional tools added to it to aid the recovery process. A guy installs a air compressor, generator, and a port-a-torch. Of course, the cheap and easy way. Used metal. Spray paint.

    I thought you were gonna do the right thing and bungee strap the compressor down and make it a “back glass smasher 3000” . But that is acceptable. This truck is turning out awesome . Love the videos and projects , keep making

    @mrmotofy Před 2 lety +1

    FYI for those trying to run real tools off a little baby compressor like this. They are very restricted with the included regulators most of the time. Air tools need air volume. The regulator limits it by design...and cheaper price with less material.
    So you need your airline straight off the tank as close as possible and as large diameter output as can be. If you remove the fittings/plugs of the pressure switch you'll find the 4 way distribution in the bottom tend to have small holes. Use like a 5/16" to drill em out a bit larger. Run compressor while drilling if possible to keep it blowing out. Or just clean it out really well. Then add a coupler straight off an unused port bypassing the regulator completely. If there's no ports in a usable location one can use a 1/4" Tee to move the pop off valve and add a port. The Tee can come in different variations so find what works best for your setup.
    Use a Milton Type V hi flow coupler and 3/8" hose and you'll see some noticeable increase in your Impact or air tool capabilities.

    Some years ago I came by a 1952 Studebaker 3 ton cab and chassis. It had been an airport fuel truck with 37,000 original miles and a transmission PTO. I was able to get a hold of a big service bed from a tractor tire repair truck that fit the Studebaker like it was made for it. 2 big air tanks and a lift gate has made this ideal as a bring 'em back alive rig. She's slow, but with 8 speeds she gets there. Hunting season is nearly here.

    That's why I get aholt of old bed frames. Even if ya gotta double em up they work for alot of projects. Also look behind the local stores for old steel display shelves..

    Yep. Perfect. None of those coming through the cab in a collision. Also better band the front end of the compressor down. Giggle

    Great video, however those cheap wheels will split from the pounding they will get when driving ( I know from experience ), recommend removing wheels and making a holder for them along with a quick connect system to reinstall them if you find a need to move generator closer to your work.
