IN THIS VIDEO I TRY TO FINISH THE MASSIVE HITCH BUILD....I HAVE SOME TROUBLES THAT SET ME WAY BACK. ATE UP MOST OF THE DAY. ITS IS PROGRESS NON THE LESS!
Those welds look exceptionally good for 'not being a welder.' The wife is a cool lady. Nice to see a woman who can share the same interests with you and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. That hitch looks really beefy. Great work man!
I think "Overkill" is the perfect name for this project. Great fabrication, workmanship, camera work, narration JC. Work safe, here's to a better 2021 Doug@ the "ranch"
The way you have it on the outside of the frame is stronger than it would be inside the frame, and like what you said, it's mine and I will do it my way. If someone wants it different then they can do it on their truck. Awesome job. Paint runs is just more paint where it's needed.
there is a huge difference between me and a welder. a welder can reproduce the same weld with proper penetration and technique over and over. i on the other hand get lucky every now and then but not consistent. i ground out almost all the welds before i am still mastering the grinder....not the welder yet.
JC that is definitely overkill, the way it should have been done in the factory in the first place. This is an awesome Frankenstein Truck, I love it.👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
A German machinist I worked for explained it like this, a 1/2 of weld will hold around as much as a 1/2 bolt. I was fabricating a steel door for the GM plant in Leeds KS. The reason he told me was because I was wasting time weeding more than I needed to to get it done. If you add up your welds I’d say you had enough to hold the hitch and 2-3 or more than that truck would ever be able to pull. Most people look at others work with a critical eye and default to critical comments just to have some input. It’s usually not meant to be offensive but usually comes off that way. Thanks for the video
This series is so great. It inspired me to do something similar. I bought a 1990 intl’ 4700. Shortening the frame and other things. Hope this series gets back going again. Very enjoyable
I am super excited to follow along with all that you have planned for this project. I love how when you are building a truck you build it to last and don't take the shortcuts that others often take.
You are a great teacher and I've learned a lot of tricks that I will put to use. Pardon the expression but eff them if they don't like the way you do things. I think you have always made great judgment calls and safety is always your highest priority.
May I say something and I don't mean to come the wrong way. I wish factory would design and produce quality such as this. Never upset with your content at all 🤘🤘🤘
Fantastic work J.C 😀 It will be nice and very convenient to have a truck that will pull *anything* 👍 I really like where this project is heading. I also like things that are "overkill". Do it once and never have to worry about it. Take care 🙂
i want to be able to travel long distances and be comfortable. there are far too many nice old trucks around the country that i want to own. need a way to get them!
J.C. I just want to say... you got a LOT going on upstairs ! I enjoy your videos, as I too have a red cab and chassis in my shop. It's a 1994 International 4800 4x4 that I'm turning into a dump truck. At this point I'm installing new fuel tank and getting ready to build new pintle hitch on the rear and add air for my trailer. It's certainly timely that I just found your channel. Nice work !
The air line running from air bag to air bag is tight enough for a g flat. If it were 1" longer, a feller could use a couple loom clamps to attach it to the 3/8" plate right there behind it. BTW, I never said you HAD to cope out your tow plate. It is just how I do mine, that are on tandem axle trucks with 40 ton pintle hitches. You are 100% correct, that tow plate will handle WAY more than the truck can handle. Just sharing information. I also have the habit of overkill. That is why I enjoy your channel.
i had several comments here and on social media sights from people that were less than respectful than you and your comment. no offense taken by yours. thanks for watching and the comment.
Happy New year JC and She Who Must Be Obeyed I hope 2021 is a better year and all your projects turn out great! Your work truck is coming along beautifully I would be proud if I had such a purpose built rig JC those who offer criticism should get on and show us their successful builds. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Happy New Year Mrs and Mr JC.Smith. I had a mechanic just like you. Whenever we had a big job such as totally refurbishing a tractor unit or trailer, he never scimped. On the job he always overkilled to his satisfaction and it never failed. In my eyes that is the correct way to do it....it’s how YOU feel when you’re fabricating the project.
You are absolutely correct with the idea of doing what you want the way you want and let the next guy do his own project as he sees fit. Always enjoy seeing what you are working on thanks for taking us along.
Better to be overkill than under built lol. All day everyday do it better than it should be. You’ll always know it’s going to last and it’s going to work the way you need it to.
Overkill........LOL! If I named my stuff overkill there would be a Junior, Senior, 3rd, 4th.....etc. I love the hitch. It's massive. No worries. Move on. I know you have and as usual I'm looking forward to your next video. Happy New Year! Terry from South Carolina
JC, you do a hell of a job on everything you share with us. There aren't many like you left, just remember what you think is over kill or too much is actually perfect for the rest of us! Keep on keeping on buddy!
Happy New Year to all your family JC, roaming around the house kickin’ my toes ect, swearing......waiting for your next video 😅👍 Enjoy a terrific new year with all the success you desire. 🙏🏼👍
It looks great! I got a sneak peak of what the hitch looked like in the live stream today, and I think you did an awesome job. That pro tip using gear oil caps for makeshift plugs is a neat trick I’ll definitely be remembering that one.
That hitch will be more than enough to pull a house down it is so strong! Your so correct that the engine will give out well before the hitch does. Way to go Mrs Smith tearing those old battery boxes off the truck. I'm most impressed indeed. Few folks would tackle a task like that with the determination and gusto you showed! What a neat trick to allow the mix of water and diesel to freeze so that you can get the clean diesel out and leave the frozen water behind. I guess you have summer and winter diesel in those tanks on trucks - will the summer grade wax up and be troublesome going through your shop heater at all? Happy New Year to you both and best wishes for 2021.
Great job. Like your hitch design. With your added gooseneck hitch you should be able to haul anything you need moved. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Wow go lady go, what you pulling a house, I know your entering it into truck pulling computations, Jc tractor pulling? maybe no with all that fuel unless you need ballast, here comes Overkill only kidding I’d be happy with any of your work like I’ve said and I know you have, if a jobs worth doing do it right, keep up the great work both of you. MarkUK
OVERKILL on Jan 1, 2021! 🤩 Happy New Year, JC and everyone else, too! Years ago, HOTSHOTS were the rave in trucking. There are some of those still out there...that’s what these glorified toters are. I can see you putting a pickup bed on that thing, but I’m not sure that’s where you are heading. Or are you? That hitch plate: You set it up for your needs and did it the way you wanted to, so that’s not overkill. I’ve seen them done a few ways, and that’s fine, but some did it in a manner that you could tell that they were rushed and ended up cutting corners. You’ve made it to last! 🧐 Those 120 gal tanks...Oh Sweet looking. They’ll get you there and then some! I’ve mentioned my old REO...My thought is to set it up pretty close to what you’re doin with this Ford. I want my truck to look good and be a good cruising truck at the same time. I won’t be afraid to work it when it’s needed either. I’ve got a lot to do on it! I’m glad you’re doing this project and will watch what you’re doing so I can see things that I may be able to use on my truck. So, Thanks in advance! 🤩
No pick up truck bed for me. this truck is being built to be as versatile as possible. i want it to be able to travel short and long distances comfortably, tow any trailer i hook to it , carry tools and equipment needed to fix my trucks away from home, carry auxillary fuel, and still be short enough to get into the parking lots in town. we have a long way to go for sure. big changes are coming.
Happy New Year to you and your wife! You are doing a great job on this truck! Mark and I are getting close to being done with his dump truck! We will stop by and let you see it when we get up your way!
im pretty sure the frame would buckle and bend before that hitch would fail. sorry i disappeared on your live stream earlier, i don't have the best cell service out at the shop and disconnected.
That hitch plate is just shining and styling and and got WAY too many D-rings on it...lol. OVERKILL...yep that name fits. Happy New Year JC and pretty lady!
maybe you dont understand all the time it takes to make vides, down load the footage, edit and publish it for you to watch for free. some respect would be appreciated.
Real nice job as always hope you show how to wire up all those different connection for trailer lights .I wish I had kept all the caps from tubed grease , gaskets sealer but never thought about using them for plugs . Happy New Year to you & the wife but y'all stay safe , stay healthy , stay blessed in 2021
Hey J.C., love your videos. I'm building a 2008 F650 into a hooklift bin truck. It didnt come with the factory trailer wiring/relay box, and i can find no info on the web, or get any help from ford. Can you show a little bit about it in an upcoming video?
OVERKILL yeah baby like it a lot. Wish it were mine. I wonder how much that trk would cost like how your building but i know your build is a lot cheaper since you have the donors. Looking good
when this truck is done it will look completely different from what you see here. hard to put a number on it. i can say this, if i were to sell it with the original fuel tank and battery box, i would want $10k for it. if it turns out like i see it in my head, i would expect it to be worth somewhere in the mid to high $30k range.
I am enjoying this build. What was the problem with your MIG welder? How did you solve the problem after you got the new roll of wire? Also, I love seeing you protect your nice work with a good paint job.
How much ground clearance will those tanks have ? As much reserve as you'll have..it would be great to add a 12v transfer pump on one side for fueling up everything..meals on wheels for the diesels lol
Are you (or can you) flip the tanks so that the fill cap is behind the vs under the door? Looks like it’d be a challenge to get a fuel nozzle in there under the cab.
Man that hitch is awesome! I really like the flat and round pin wiring plugs. I pull an electric brake trailer with my international 4300 and ended up getting an adapter but still had to move a couple wires in the adapter. Can you show some detail when you wire it? Are you on Facebook?
No it's not over kill cause you don't want it coming back on you if the trailer unhooked and all the force pulls the plate off so no better over engineer then under so saftey is key...
Those welds look exceptionally good for 'not being a welder.' The wife is a cool lady. Nice to see a woman who can share the same interests with you and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. That hitch looks really beefy. Great work man!
“ridiculous contraption”...?
It’s freaking genius..., and does the job.
Great video, thank you sir...
Just the way that I like to build things, beautiful craftsmanship. Be proud of your achievement.
I think "Overkill" is the perfect name for this project.

There he goes again.... "I'm not a welder but" proceeds to stack dimes like a banker.....
there is a huge difference between me and a welder. a welder can reproduce the same weld with proper penetration and technique over and over. i on the other hand get lucky every now and then but not consistent. i ground out almost all the welds before i am still mastering the grinder....not the welder yet.
@@j.c.smithprojects I had to say it. Every video of yours I've watched so far, you do some damn good work, man.

we will pick up on this truck soon. the next part should be pretty interesting. i have been gathering parts all along.
If the truck had the power, that hitch looks like it would pull a dozer out of the mud
Very nice work!
That is damn good hitch. Very stout. Nobody ever wanted a weaker hitch than necessary. Overkill is underrated.
I am super excited to follow along with all that you have planned for this project. I love how when you are building a truck you build it to last and don't take the shortcuts that others often take.

it is a joke with my family that everything i do turns into a major project because i "overkill" everything.
Looks great, I like the shape and the 2 sets of D rings. That hitch will hold and tow more than what the truck is capable of.
Overkill........LOL! If I named my stuff overkill there would be a Junior, Senior, 3rd, 4th.....etc.
I love the hitch. It's massive. No worries. Move on.
I know you have and as usual I'm looking forward to your next video.
Happy New Year!

im telling you, the tools made me better than i am.
The backend of this truck is beautifully made, love your work, greetings from Belgium

Happy New Year to you both and best wishes for 2021.
the fuel oil tank is in my heated shop. i mixed this fuel with about 125 gallons of regular heating oil / off road diesel fuel. it will be just fine.
Great job. Like your hitch design. With your added gooseneck hitch you should be able to haul anything you need moved. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
The round tanks are really going to look good on her.
wow thats one tough hitch plate! i like the d ring idea for painting. Thats a ton of fuel capacity!
the extra fuel will come in handy when i go to pick up trucks i have bought. many time they are very low on fuel and in the middle of nowhere.
I agree completely with the hitch. It looks great. And I've always built hitches that I'm comfortable towing with.
Have learned a lot from the explanation behind what you are doing and why! Keep up the great work!
Happy New Year!
Looking good!

i am trying to build the most versatile truck that suits my needs. we will see if "theory" is the same as "reality" when it is done!
Hitch plate looks great. Great job all around.
No concerns about it from me.
Those tanks will look great on the truck. Nice choice
That is the Swiss army knife of hitch plates. The only thing missing is the bottle opener. Awesome job.
Your hitch is definitely capable of more than the truck is, good job

Love the hitch. Can not wait to see the finished product. Stay safe
Why the overkill? JC: "Because I can" Superb work
Stay safe JC and Mrs, from the UK
Nice. Can't wait until this one is finished.
Like your vision for this Truck. When you get it done it will be a Killer truck.
Every day I look for another J. C . SMITH video !
i appreciate you watching!
Happy New Year to you and your wife! You are doing a great job on this truck! Mark and I are getting close to being done with his dump truck! We will stop by and let you see it when we get up your way!
sounds great....i doubt this one will be done by the time you are!
Great name for truck it will be one of a kind nothing factory fitted lol 😁
Overkill is a good name.
im pretty sure the frame would buckle and bend before that hitch would fail. sorry i disappeared on your live stream earlier, i don't have the best cell service out at the shop and disconnected.
no big deal. we were happy to have you as much as we did.
This is going to be a great project to watch.
I missed the live chat again I was bummed.
I had that same welding problem recently after changing a 44 pound roll. The feed pressure was off because of the weight of the new real.
That hitch plate is just shining and styling and and got WAY too many D-rings on it...lol. OVERKILL...yep that name fits. Happy New Year JC and pretty lady!
Over kill is definitely it but with that much fuel you could drive anywhere you want with out a fill up and make it back.
👍🇳🇱 .
Happy New Year for you and the Fam.
Stay Safe !
from the Netherlands
Awesome
I like those big tanks on that Ford. Happy New Year from Texas... in about 4 hours that is.
More work-Less talk....Luv it ! Keep up the builds.
maybe you dont understand all the time it takes to make vides, down load the footage, edit and publish it for you to watch for free. some respect would be appreciated.
There's nothing wrong with Overkill, it makes me feel better about the job, and you don't have to worry about it under repaired or replaced.
It’s awesome it’s not over kill it’s just right
Awesome video I enjoy these kind of builds
Name that plate “The Tombstone”!
Happy New Year
Looking good so far love the name it fits
Ive had issues like this with "sputtering" sometimes its the whip's liner. They get gunked up with copper and stick. I change mine every year.
Overkill is great I would happy and trust it kept up good work
Real nice job as always hope you show how to wire up all those different connection for trailer lights .I wish I had kept all the caps from tubed grease , gaskets sealer but never thought about using them for plugs . Happy New Year to you & the wife but y'all stay safe , stay healthy , stay blessed in 2021
i will be videoing the wiring for the rv plug and the commercial plug.
Awesome job on it...!!!
I think if it is going to break, then it will break behind the front wheels and by then it's not going to matter.

Happy new year to you and the wife
OVER KILL is the perfect name for her. If she doesn't move what you hook it up to then it wasn't meant to be moved.
I'm really getting my fill of JC Smith tonight
Looks great. Happy new year
Your vids are getting better to look at every time. But don't apologise every time on comments, it is your overkill :-)
looks great happy new year you guys
Hey I could have used those fuel tanks... lil overkill huh
Nice job on the hitch
Waiting form the trailer electric interested in how you do it!
That hitch should be good to pull up to a 3500lb trailer or so.... Anything more than that I wouldn't test it.
The hitch weights 3500 so should pull it's own weight lol love the hitch build
im not sure how to take that
@@j.c.smithprojects Take it as your hitch is obviously a beefy house ready to pull down a mountain
@@j.c.smithprojects meant with respect and appreciate all your work!
I am enjoying this build. What was the problem with your MIG welder? How did you solve the problem after you got the new roll of wire? Also, I love seeing you protect your nice work with a good paint job.
it was a roller feed problem. it took some cleaning and all was good.
Thanks for the info, I’ve had similar issues and assumed it was just me.
Have a great Happy New Year
Over kill beats Under kill, 1000 times over
Overkill is badass I want one
How much ground clearance will those tanks have ? As much reserve as you'll have..it would be great to add a 12v transfer pump on one side for fueling up everything..meals on wheels for the diesels lol
that is exactly my plan. 10" of ground clearance. just about the same as the 24" tall tool boxes will have that i am putting under the bed.
Runs just let you know you have enough paint on it.
Are you (or can you) flip the tanks so that the fill cap is behind the vs under the door? Looks like it’d be a challenge to get a fuel nozzle in there under the cab.
its funny you say that. i am flipping the tanks side to side but not for the reason you mentioned. the next video should explain.
@@j.c.smithprojects Well sir, you are the man with the plan. That’s why we tune in. To see where you’re headed next.
Where is the final video?
I like it so far, you wouldn’t happed to be thinking about making it 4wd? That transfer case you were robbing parts from last week has me wondering...
no. that was for another project that i am working on right now.
Man that hitch is awesome! I really like the flat and round pin wiring plugs. I pull an electric brake trailer with my international 4300 and ended up getting an adapter but still had to move a couple wires in the adapter. Can you show some detail when you wire it? Are you on Facebook?
i will video the process.
No it's not over kill cause you don't want it coming back on you if the trailer unhooked and all the force pulls the plate off so no better over engineer then under so saftey is key...
What ended up being the problem with the welder ? Badd batch of wire ???? Just curious
it was a wire feed motor problem.
Oh yeah , The truck will tear in half before that hitch will come off .
Not sure if I missed it or not is this a truck you will keep for a bit?
yes
Did you keep the bed off the yellow fl. to go on this truck
i did but i wont be using that. the bulkhead is set up for a taller cab. it would require rebuilding it. i will be using something else.
