SendIt Steve I have been a subscriber sense you started and just so you know if things don’t work out I will still respect you for giving it your best. I have done professional builds turning old school buses into Toter homes so I know how hard something like this is for a first timer. We all learn from our mistakes heaven’s know that I have and I continue to learn with each new build. I am not in anyway saying it will not turn out fine but just so you know regardless we are behind you 100 💯 percent. Go get um kid and kick it’s ass while your doing it. Thanks for taking something extremely hard and challenging to do. And keep your videos coming.
Yes win or fail we will all enjoy watching the videos you put out
@@mritron7649 what happened?
Key Motors of Central Pa. Out of business now.
@@NJGhost34 Steve's old dealership, he would rip off old ladies and women and sell them junkers. He would give them a taillight warranty.
Props for actually taking on these big projects. People that complain have nothing goin on in their lives.
Facts but it is what it is haha
I like Send it Steves content its always fun to watch..
@@Dirty.Engines fun or funny?
I vote to rename the channel to “ rig it Steve “
Steve, I doubt you will see this, but you should never mix a new and old battery, your older one will drag the newer one down... it's like a chain, only as good as weakest link
learned that the hard way 😂
Sean Bettencourt same here
When you do the final welds I would recommend that you weld the frames together in a Z pattern. It puts less stress and fatigue on the rails and makes them much stronger and more reliable.
And do fish plates
Matt Read c notch
Should run "C" channel on the inside.
This is starting to become a trend,but the new thing is that you are doing this by yourself
Love the progress on the truck! Can’t wait to see it done
Very cool. Can't wait to see what happens next. It's coming along really well
steve doing good its awesome that you go for it cant wait for the final job
Love your videos man keep up the amazing project can’t wait tell it’s done
Love the videos and super glad you are having a good time and the 450 is staying
I can’t wait to see what it looks like done. The F-450 is literally my dream truck and this idea sounds like a good idea if done right I can see it looking really sick. Don’t give up! Love the progress so far!
Great job steve keep up the awesome work
Great job but I will recommend using a string line to make sure that everything is exactly where it needs to be. Using a level only allows it to be as level as the ground it’s sitting on👍
This is so true
Super excited for this project Steve keep it up!
I wasn’t a fan of this at first but I respect doing all the work in your driveway and it has started to grow on me
Happy for 100k subscribers and your editing stills have been improved 👍 love the music during the time lapse
2:27 fuel rails lmao 😂
Steve you should try to change both batteries together the old battery will draw down the new battery
It’s great to see you attempt to finish the projects you already have!👍👍👍👍💪💪✌️✌️✌️please don’t start anything new until you completely finish one or two that u already have!! Please thanks 🙏
Evolution my friend! You must learn to always be able to make changes and go with what makes the most sense and what sparks your creative interests (and what makes YOU happy) at "THIS" particular moment! Heck....tomorrow maybe be different! "The only thing constant in life is CHANGE" author: I can't remember!👍👍😎
LOL like that will happen
Man he's doing that's a big project some of the best projects come from drive ways keep it up steve
Great how to vid Steve . Keep on pluggin’ n Chuggn’ . Cheers
God Bless you Steve Freeman. Have a blessed day.
Likewise
Amen!
Loving the build it's awesome
Pluggin....and chugging. Good content as always. Thank you sir.
Nicely done!
Can’t wait for this build to be come together it’s going to be sick
Looking good man can't wait for the next update video
Fyi, when one battery goes bad, you want to replace both batteries brand new at the same time. That way it has proper voltage and amperage.
This is probably the biggest build I am most excited for
Now this a great video. I personally don’t like the f450. I cant wait to see this truck finished. These are the videos that I love, when you make them, GREAT VIDEO STEVE....
GIT ER' DONE, STEVE! I love this project! EPIC!💪👊👍👍😎
6x6 Jeep Gladiators won't have NOTHING on this F-450 10x10! I cant wait!
Keep it up man! It’s awesome
Love the good vibes! thank you.
One of the coolest projects going rn
This the easy part putting bed to make it look better is the trick
I always look forward to watching your videos
Sweet can’t wait to see the finished product. And damn 4:88 gears?! Now I know why that ol ford is so strong lol.
I run 5.29's in my Tundra. I'm sitting on 42's so 4.88's isn't enough.
Great work man keep up the grind
great job loving the content
I remember the greyhound buses use to have tag axles in the rear that could be raised in the winter so that there would be more weight on the drive axle for more traction !!
I bought a real welder as your calling it. A hobart 190 mig and i run it with a generac 7500 generator. I bought it to rebuild my f350 steel flatbed and i have changed my 9 ton flatbed trls wood dovetail to an angle iron setup. I have also had my pintle mount that my family member made break and i rewelded it. I love that im portable but when i get my own place i will get hard line power so it aint such a pain to set up.
Looking interesting
What an exciting build 👍😃
Congratulations on 100k
Thank you
The rear axle needs power, so it can be a true 6x6
JAMES KLINGER for real
Yeah he’s doing it for looks
@@whyettjensen3292'doing it for looks'??? as opposed to you Whyett....you're not doing it at all....
I’m loving this 👍👍
I cant wait to see this bud
💪😈🇺🇸 KEEP ON PLUGGIN N CHUGGIN
It's coming along nicely 👍👍👍🇨🇱
Let's hope the driveway is level LOL
Congrats on 100k subs love the build would be awesome if you put a bed on it with Dually finders
Subbed because of this build.
How are you going to make the rear axle turn unless you're just using it for a tag axle
Can’t wait until it’s fully done 👍👍👍👍
This is going to be a beast, especially when 6 by 6 conversion is finished, hopefully you run lockers on everything to make it epic 💪🔥🇦🇺
It's only going to be a 2 wheel drive. The rear axle is not going to be powered.
Huh I have never un hooked the battery when I welded on my truck. Never had a problem, and I have welded with coat hanger and 2 tanks of map gas in the middle of the woods at 2am before.Trail fixes are the best!!!!
So you didn't actually arc weld anything while out in the woods doing your trail fixes now did you LOL. You can gas weld anytime but try arc welding and leave the vehicles batteries connected. You run the risk of frying the computer and anything else related but not all the time. Sometimes you might get away with it but best not to take the chance. One more thing never let anyone touch what your welding on such as a area of a truck because a good chance they will get knocked on their butt and if their hand that touches it is damp you may have to give them CPR. Thanks
Wow it almost looks like you know what your doing.. Kidding actually its looking good so far. Tricky build but your getting there. I bet you have to be some what nervous cutting up the your f450. Honestly great work so far though. Id love to see for fun after its done make a video with the whole truck having dual tires. 12 tires. I can invision it being a super cool video to watch. Thanks for sharing Send it Steve. I like it man.
I'm building the samething just like you're doing to I put air bags on my float AXLE then I put a 16ft tilt body with a winch up front behind the cab but I'm not done building yet I'll get it finish next summer because winter is here now
Thank, you for sharing
Hey man love the videos keep it up
I like it, cool stuff
That 450 is gonna be a SICK truck!!!!!
Very cool rig. There is no problem with using a harbor freight welder. It's only a power supply so as long as you use it correctly it can weld up to its limits. Low lifespan and low duty cycle but it does weld. I mean think about it. You are putting a current through a wire it's the same as any other mag welder.
Project Frankenstein lol. Great video Steve.
I’m curious on how long the bed and truck is gonna be now
Keep it up
You should of cut those to a Z shape. That would of gave much more surface area to weld to then plating would of made it stronger than a standard rail. They would of locked together a bit more. You can do it how you are doing it but it won’t last nearly as long.
Are you gonna make it truely 6 wd?
Also air suspension? To increase the lift for off road?
Lookin good bro
Good job bro
Rockwell 2.5 ton top loaders are easy to find and somewhat affordable. (army trucks) They only come in 6.72 ratio I think.
Don’t worry about these haters you’re doing a good job most definitely a better job then these haters could do
Hope you build a bad ass flat bed for this. Truck was mint before this was started.
good job!!
good weather today huh haha XD
If you're going to use a level I'd suggest using a 8 foot level over a 3 foot level to check how true it is. You have well over 8 feet of material there so that tiny level isnt really going to tell you a thing and it can all still be off. I wouldn't use a 3 foot level when I check to see if a wall I'm framing is plumbed up and true. Just something to think about and maybe double check with a more proper level! I think it is awesome that you take these projects on to try and learn. Just be safe and triple check everything in the end!
Wouldn't that welded joint be more effective if cut at a 45deg angle to prevent breakage? Hope you are planning on putting some gussets on that as well..
Is the second axle going have a shaft from the first axle
What's the final vision of this project? 6 door cab, extended bed, or a mix of both?
Question you say floater rear on airbags why didn't you four link it?
You should make a custom bed for this you see them all the time on six by sixes but I’ve never seen a tandem axil dually besides semis so this thing is unique to begin with and an extra long bed with the dually fenders would look sick in my opinion
Keaton Schooley it would look awesome but I don’t know how one would go about stretching the fibreglass fenders
OntarioRedneXXX true
Yes
Can’t wait to see you towing some heavy shit with it.
I cant wait to see this truck done its gonna be bad ass
where is the rest of videos for the f450 dual rear axel
The ordinance officer for the township must love this project 😂
Steve after your done with this project can you weld some training wheels on my powder puff minibike?
@@anastyb maybe a 4 inch lift and some wheelbarrow tires on moes barbie jeep
Steve you should buy used semi truck axles they will be sit up for air ride and the front will drive the rear plus it will already be the correct bolt pattern for your wheels instead of running those adapters
The biggest project yet like it
Are you going to sleeve were the to rails meet or just use the plates either way still be strong just curious I have always sleeved in the automotive prototype world
Just seen this did you ever get this tandem put together? Cool concept and maybe practical.
Are you gonna have breaks on the 2nd axle also?
Don’t forget the thru shaft buddy 👍🏻
I'd probably change both batteries or you'll put a strain on the new one. Awesome job by the way!
What about the sleeper for the F450?
Extend the old flatbed ?
Got a lot of love and hate Steve ur doing something right lol. If u finger out what axels to use let me know. They had 25 person Shuttle buses made by Ford wit 7.3 in them that were tandem axle but I would bet there 4 10 gears. But might look in to it.
Example the Bruce is a bang around mud truck yeah but you should have a water tank and squirters for the windshield etcetcetc
Hey steve need to get a can of weld threw primer that way you don’t have to clean the welds up after you all ready weld them
Take your time Steve it'll pay off in the long run are you going to run a carrier bearing
I’m excited about this build!!
Ok this build confuses me but it's still cool...when u starting the square body content?
Just find a front drive axle off a semi and use the air interlock and move your original axel to the back and the semi axle with the diverter will be the front drive axle
