The first time I saw this truck was back in 1996 in the movie TWISTER. A brand new clean red Dodge Ram. I was a kid and I said "that's my dream truck". I loved it back then, I love it now!!!!!
Fernando MCC that’s my exact story as well seeing it still running at the end all beat to shit really made me want one! My first was a 97 ram 2500 12 valve and then I had a 2002 ram 2500 24v I want another one badly
Wow I can relate to that perfectly I think I cried when it got destroyed
Dad went out and bought himself one immediately after watching Twister. it still hurts to watch her get destroyed.
I watched twister a couple days ago and noticed the truck. It has less than 1k miles in the movie. I have one now
Man it is crazy you have to write a disclaimer to protect yourself for helping people out. No good deed goes unpunished sure says alot for the times we live in. . Love your videos.
deboss is deman nice to see people with common sense fix it right or just crush it take pride in your work
common sense would say let that truck go.
Deman?
@@Ashroyer86 hes in canada so that's a low rust specimen
Figured I would finally watch one of your videos after seeing you in other people's project car challenge videos. I'm liking it👌🏽
I've been watching y'all from the start. It's so nice to see a channel grow and them stay so humble. Thanks deboss
Thank you for encouraging my 12 valve build!! Im in the cab swap process. With 280k miles shes getting the works done to the engine thanks for all your info!
I was 100% expecting Gary to ram into the door with a forklift. Also loved the Ford dealership joke at 8:13 lol 😂
"Carpet is stupid" - I can't agree more!
Han Skinslo
"In a work truck" he said
RAM TRUCKS - He didn't say anything about a work truck, there..... but I get your point! I just think carpet is a bad idea in general, just my opinion.
Damn right!
Clean shaven or a little landing strip.
@@asherdie smh
@@guy_incognito7538 you're welcome.
The multi colored body panels tell a story and give the truck character. Good work Deboss. I'm tired just watching all this hard work your doing. Thumbs up. Great vids as always
Fantastic video, just last weekend I pulled the service box and body off my dad's 2001 2500 cummins he bought new. Cab, fenders and doors were shot. Going to do some frame repair, paint it, brake lines, fix the leaks, rebuild the front end, put new exhaust on, then put a new cab on, swap the interior and wiring back in. Then top it off by putting the original box back on that's been in the barn since 01. Great video, learned a couple tricks about the doors but we are doing things much the same, I even pulled the cab with a tractor. Glad to be a subscriber now!
Mate, you have so much energy. Don't know how you do it !
Keep this build up! So excited to see what happens
I did the same on my 94. It was a pain in the ass. Worth it though, way better than buying a new truck. Took about a week or 2 since I I painted the frame.
I loved my 2nd gen as much of a p.o.s. as it was. Trans went out at 60k miles, cant remember how many vacuum lines i went through. Had to rebuild motor at about 120k miles. 2 fuel pumps 40k apart (thankfully very easy in those trucks). But for some reason i still loved that thing.
Yeah I bought a Cummins with a bunch of Dodge smeared all over it too.
Couldn't stop thinking of the fork lift and dodge mishap video lol. Thanks for another great vid! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your help with Cummins and common sense repair guidance. Love your channel.
Haha that's what happens to dashboards here in the south! When its 90 degrees+ outside for 11 months out of the year :P
Glenn all dashes in south Mississippi curl up or crack if you don't have them under a garage. Lol
Same with the Silverado dashes here in Texas.
It’s just dodge 2nd gen dashes man
That's just 2nd gen dashboards. I'm in oakland ca and every dash I have ever seen is cracked.
They sell them on ebay for waaaay too much money
I'm glad to see your fixing it, most people would just scrap it. I'm getting old too, & out of shape; I get winded brushing my hair!
"You'd swear this was a Ford dealership!" 😂😂
I did not expect to see you here lol
Lol
Thanks for saving, another DODGE CUMMINS.
BEST PICKUP IN AMERICA.
Very informational! I have an early 98 2500 6bt nv4500 np241 Dana 80 srw Dana 60 long box extended cab , that I'm about to start a cab swap on, come this spring. Love the video's! Full of very useful information that I have applied in my shop. Thanks again!
Million mile engine in a 100.000mile truck..... sadly fits perfectly
If a dodge is a 100k truck then fords and chevies are 10k trucks.
@@whitemale2248 he's talking about the body & interior (perhaps some other things) which I have to agree is inferior compared to GM's & Ford quality wise, especially the 2nd gens. I love the Cummins engines & even look of their trucks but they have been known to fall apart w/ the engine still running strong.
@@johnr4821 I work at a scrap yard and im not bias, ill drive whatevers best. I dont drive chevies because of there front end, electrical problems, and bad transmissions. i dont drive fords because general quality is very poor, weak frames, most of there gas engines have lots of problems and have wierd designs, and all there diesels past the 7.3 are a money pit. Best truck is a dodge frame (past 94) cummins, nv5600, dana 80 rear dana 60 front axle. so just buy a dodge and replace the body every 20 years and yer good. And yes the body will last 20 years, i live in the snow belt and my 01 dodge is just starting to get some wholes in the rocker panels and fenders.
@@whitemale2248
All makes and models have problems - some even from time of day or day maded - it's has a lot to do with workers or manager attitude, that also means the sub surplier Quality
@@johnr4821 Are you serious? who cares about the interior or body. Either way 2nd gen dodges from the 90's have way nicer interiors then fords and chevies from the mid 2000's. Shittiest chevy interior i ever seen was in a 2008 1 ton.
I've been watching your videos for like a day now just discovered your channel you have a new subscriber
I'm so glad I live in the south. My 96 is still immaculate minus a new paint job and a new dash.
Beautiful paint schemes the dark metallic blue passenger door and the burgundy and silver cab.
Not only do you do good mechanical work you also make good tv production
Would love more diesel tutorials man. Great videos! Awesome to see your channel exploding!
Ppl now days DON'T take pride in their work and do things right.....I hate working on stuff other ppl cobbled up and try to figure out what someone else has had their fingers in....You make AWESOME videos
From someone the lives in the desert side of Oregon, I can't believe the rust damage you folks deal with! I have 50 - 60 year old trucks here with no rust. '57 Studebaker Golden Hawk I'm restoring, no rust, my '57 Chev 3100 napco, no rust, oh my.
Here down south we scrap great trucks that need motors. Breaking my heart every time I see a mint dodge dually with a blown 360 sitting in the crusher
I love your videos and your sense of humor.
I so want to do this swap! Been thinking about it forever!
Thanks for restoring her
I live in Georgia and have enjoyed blown out interiors here as well. But at least we don't have to deal with salt damaged cars. You do great work!! I wish you were within 30 miles of here. :) Liked !!
Can you do a video on how to "stand alone" wire a 24v to run on an engine stand?
That's why you set the shot lines to the rear door then adjust the front fender to the front door
Dude you are the most thorough wrencher ive seen wish you lived close to me
Love the video man ,love Dodge ram too.
Love videos like this! More diesel!! Also I have a 2nd gen cummins so I learn alot of stuff too. Even if it's about some dumb clip on an interior peice
@deboss garage damn shops looking minty fresh in 2021
You make it look so easy. I'm dreading putting my 99 ram 2500 back together and it's just the front end and fender, bumper, hood. but I'm 68.
That intro was hilarious
Love the videos and the Dodge looks awesome mismatching. I also am wondering what where the tires size and rim size on that truck in the video? Thank you for the videos
looks like you got about five trucks in the one? I could understand replacing the box or fender but the price of replacing the whole body labor wise?
Doing a very similar project, however I bought a rusty 96 dodge with a perfect 12v, and an 01 with a badly knocking 360 v8 that looks like brand new underneath, a little clear peeling but that just matches all my other vehicles. So the engine, trans, t/c, axles and suspension all came off the rusty diesel and is now in the gas frame/body. the main pain was wiring. its coming together though, trying to make a few videos of it soon.
Nice! That truck is going to last you a long time. New body style and interior with the best 5.9.
In floor heat !!kick ass!! But hard not to fall asleep on creeper ! Especially in morning.But love how floor is never wet! Wealthy folks in my area have heated driveways so the snow and ice never has a chance.
they make trim tools for those little christmas tree wire holders you know. you don't always have to just smash your hand haha
check the blend doors in the hvac box - they fail and are a pita to fix in the truck
Holy shit you work fast, or is it just the illusion of the recording
FUCK'EM!!! Do what you want! It's your shop, your channel! And YOUR projects!!! Keep up the work. Love the vids.
A good idea would be to use the 99 front bumper. Always thought those looked better.
"I swear, it's never done that before!" XD
I love the constant ford mockery
About to do a cab swap on my 98 already put everything else of an 01 on it box front fenders hood doors. Have the cab off the donor truck but worried about the complications swapping a cab from an 01 v6 2wd on to a 98 v8 4x4 once its done I'll have a brand new looking 2nd gen. So far I've built the whole thing for less then $5000 including buying tools
I just finsihed banging a new radiator (which was the cheapest one available on Amazon, which made it the cheapest one available anywhere) into my daily and was quite pleased to see it was made in Canada! I hope the guy that was working on that truck didn't take a job at the rad factory... :/
You should see what those Dodge dash look like after baking in the Texas heat!
I so wanted to see another forklift smash! Great intro, and that bit about the mirrors... LOL! I swear thats never happened before LOL! I would love to see you put a p pump or rotary pump on a 24-valve truck for all those guys with CPU woes
It is in the works for the Silverado. I wish we could just swap the head but because the injector location, its easier to put a P-pump on a 24V then a 24v on a P-pump.... Working on it though
Nice job, We gotta do that to our dually. Cab corners are getting bad.
If you do get a two post lift and move your 4 post. They would make great videos. I like to see an install of them.
The southern sun is really hard on interior plastic. Bodies do pretty good here though.
Wow this is crazy to see so much rust where I live you never see a truck with rotted out wheel wells crazy what salt does!
keep doin what your doin good job!!!
Love seeing the GTO in the back, my cousin just got his all together last year, all original 400 motor. Would like to see an update video/ walk around of the project!
Mercedes LS swap is back in progress and then full tilt on the GTO. We found someone to paint it finally
Right on man, looking forward to it! Cheers.
Pretty damn entertaining dude! Sub’d👍🏽
I know what you mean about the dash falling apart the sun is brutal down here in Georgia 😂
same. i bought a texas truck and the dash literally broke apart when i pushed in the headlight switch.
@Varnce Yes, but it's worse in the Southern United States than in Canada because of there being that much more sun.
I bought my 01 2500 at auction and the previous owner (carbon county public works) did not take care of it. It has only 81k miles on it, but it was used exclusively as a plow vehicle here in PA. I had to change the heater core and when I pried back the dash, I found it was terribly rusted. They had run the truck with a leaking heater core and allowed the corrosive coolant to splash all over the steel dash carcass. They also let it leak into the blower motor until it caught fire and stunk up the truck like burned wires. The dash came out in 20 or 30 pieces. I decided to remove it completely since the plastic was garbage anyway so I could sand blast and paint the metal skeleton.
I am glad I did that as I intend to customize the dash with fiberglass and make a nav/media player with gauges with a Raspberry Pi and 10" screen and I need to move some of the duct work anyway to mount it in the center.

2001 with 270,000 + mi on it. I agree 100%. I have a 2015 Ford F150, and new Fords are junk. I say that not only because of experience with mine, but brand new Super Dooty ambulances we have at work. I'd much rather work on an old Dodge to and her going.
Is it normal not to pre-paint some of the parts? I’m thinking about parts by the hinges and stuff.
I’m not a professional but want to do this to my truck.
Great video Rich. I'd be a fool to recommend you do a job a certain way or give you advice regarding fixing any mechanical thing besides, I know "You can tell a Dutchman, but you can't tell him much" LOL Cheers
Hey Rich, had a set of those cool flip out mirrors on my 2008 3500 & they where cool. My 17year old son felt they reached out to far and clipped one on transit bus. Shattered! Forced to use those 1/2 mirrors bcs the streets in Vancouver do not like teenage boys!
Dude. Nice GTO!!!
On a cab swap do you just need to transfer the VIN tag over from the old cab? Or what are the steps like for that?
DG.... Any idea on how to custom build a new functional and economic dashboard??? Thanks!!!
Lmc makes a dash that has UV inhibitors in it so they won't get that away it ain't much it's always worth doing if you got to pull the dash on a Dodge
Those subscribe numbers are moving up! I live in Mississippi. The sun is brutal down here! Good luck at the speedway!
Scotty Collins i live in MS as well
david mincy Cool. Deer hunt?
Scotty Collins hey Scotty, my wife’s from MS and all her family is still there in Hattiesburg and Jackson areas. I lived in Columbus ms when I met her 25 years ago. Brother in law is in Hattiesburg and he’s a big deer hunter and we are now in central NC and we deer hunt here and have some pretty awesome deer right around us
Rich, what will you do when the OEM starts using Marine grade Titanium for all body work?
have you seen any of the powerstrokehelp videos? If so, what's your opinion on the lifetime dealerproof?
1 Dodge is now abunch of Dodges. Reminds me of my dad's 80s ram charger he built
How much would a body swap run? Ive got a 2nd gen in similar condition, not wanting to tackle it myself..canada isnt to far from michigan and might be worth the trip to have it done.
Tow mirrors a must!
When you do a body swap. Does the VIN for the "New" body get used for insurance? Even though it's a different frame
Was wondering if it’s possible or easy to put a 2000 steering column in a 1997
Realize this is older vid but wanted to mention my ‘98 Ram 5.9 gas interior fell apart also, dash literally crumbled. Traded it in 2010.
They make tools for removing door panels, those plastic clips should come off with the panel, you need to pop each clip with a tool or you can cause stretch marks in the outer panel. The same with those clips on the wires, they come out with a flick of the wrist with the right tool.
I have a 2001 cummins with a rotten cab. I bought a bare 1997 cab. Is the dash and everything gonna swap over?
My 01 is giving an electrical problem. I have no power anywhere other than the dome light and dinger I have no crank no fass pump nothing and my 4 ways work but no blinkers
Nice video quick question how long did the swap take?
Lol the last ford I had got the cab removed 3 times... never been happier to hit a tree and total a vehicle in my life
Yes, it's interesting how so many lemons end up in trees and lakes, charma I suppose, lol
I appreciate the videos . Would you have any wiring harness for sale . My brother needs a 98 quad cab 12 v automatic 4x4 harnesses. many years ago I heard Dodge hired a ex Ford body designer and new design. I was also told the the 5 9 was just a advertisement deal and Dodge was surprised by how well it was sold. . Thanks for the videos videos . I have a 95 I been working on that I have now installed a rebuilt g56 rebuilt t case , one piece aluminum drive shaft. Installed a hydroboost system .
Will an 03 dodge 4 Door cab fit my 97 dually single cab frame?
Cool that has the brown interior mine has the two Chrysler light and dark mist grey and the rainbow thread design seats and door panels but I can't complain it was a nothern Ohio truck since new, I have solid floors a few spots over the wheels on the bed and the tailgate is solid but the top is bent in the right corner, and the bed floor right up in front of the tailgate has three spots rusting through factory no bedmat, bed liner or camper shell.front fenders are rotted over the wheels and starting behind the doors so I plan to get two good gloss black front fenders used, and the front doors are decent but the wrong doors,it has regular cab or club cab doors on my quad cab 2000 Laramie slt 1500 it was a lower trim level truck the doors came from audio latina speakers and two wire speaker plug my truck has 8 wire plug. Rear doors have a little rust on the bottom and the rockers on the outside are rusty but the door jamb rocker is firmly attached with no upper holes so... And I have a complete set of stainless steel brake lines for my truck from classic tube out of Ohio $209
I enjoy your videos
I work at a junk yard we have zero dashes they are all exploded!!😂😂 I'm in Indiana must be the sun that roasts them
damn i have a single cap 95 and it would be awesome to swap it for an extended cab! i might have to look into this
I live in Georgia and the summer sun is killer on plastic
Because carpet is stoopid... Yes!
Is the body harness the same? I have a v10 and a donor Cummins 3500 and want to swap everything to the rust free v10 3500.
Starting a body swap also.
'49 Ford onto '93 diesel. Over 600,000 mi.
Good video
