not sure about everyone else, but i love watching "all the little stuff" - Macca is a good teacher and it's all helpful, no matter what the subject.
Thanks so much 🙌
Thanks mate! Appreciate it heaps! Was very hard to film all the 1% jobs haha hopefully be more exciting the next one!
Love ya work mate! Hot tip from a Boilermaker. Leather blanket would be the go instead of the bedsheet 🫡 I’d love to show you some purged Tig welding man. It makes basic fusion weld look sexy as.
@@jimmychoose2235 haha legend defs leather blanket I need to invest 😂 I purged the front than ran low on gas!
I completely agree. I enjoy all the little bits. Maybe Macca can get another job reading children's books. Anyway aloha from Hawaii.
TJ your choice of music is spot on. keep it up
Thanks mate 🤩
This is honestly the sickest build on CZcams right now. You blokes are killing it. Interesting content, honest dudes and not flogs….. so rare 😂. Keep doing what ya doing 💪
Haha Thanks putz will definitely do our best!
Watching all these American trucks in Australia makes me want to get a GQ imported here to the USA 😂
Haha rude not to! Id love to see it with some american flare!
Double dare you!! 🤙
Looking forward to seeing this finish, going to be a weapon. Catching up once a week with mates for a feed is great, we do It every Wednesday, 12 years and counting. Cheers
The comp truck wizard himself! Thanks mate and sick that you boys do it to! Defs a ripper thing to make happen!
KTruck looks sick as!!! Everything powder coated looks amazing!!!
Yeah really coming together 🤩
COOLEST "AMERICAN" BIG OSSIE BOY TRUCK EVER! Can't wait to see what numbers you get out of the cummins!
Haha same !
Mate this is going to be an absolute demon of a rig can’t wait to see it killing it on the tracks. Keep up the awesome content boys.
Cheers glen defs makes 2 of us! haha
Looking good guys, cannot wait to see it on the road
Same ! Haha
This thing's gonna be the sickest giveaway truck of all time
Haha never 😂
Haha not a chance 🤣
Gday Macca and TJ, thanks heaps for the update, I just brought a new Tig and keen to learn more especially ally, bloody awesome build mate, credit to ya, cheers
Yeah get some hours under your belt and you’ll be a pro in no time 🤩
Thanks matty! And for always commenting mate means alot! Hopefully we will both be pro tig welders in no time haha
Macca with the broom made me lose it 😂😂, another top episode boys 👌🏻, can’t wait to see this beast out on some trips 🫡
Sure that was fake edited in by tj! There is no way a sparky could touch a broom haha
@@macpreston of course not 😂
nice work from all on the project.
Cheers for the upload
Jim
Thanks again!
Looks amazing and attention to detail is next level. Great work and content is good. Don’t mind all over the place. Get that with big builds.
Thanks mate! Especially thee 1% jobs!
I believe the stainless steel exhaust needs to be purged with argon. The black stuff on the inside can lead to cracks over time due to the heat cycling of the exhaust.
Correct i did purge some of it! But near the back i didnt bother, If it were intake piping i would 100% purge it!
@@macprestonlove your work mate!!! Awesome content.
@@mohammaddabliz4860 thanks mate! Appreciate the tip to!
18:23 loved this photo!!
read the excuse book that morning!
I've been following you guys since May, living in Europe with all its restrictions it's nice to see how things are on the other side of the world. Keep it up!
Thanks so much 🙌
Something that always gets me a bit stoked about mac is his passion for checking in with mates and looking after each others mental health with out sounding heaps preachy
Thanks mate! Spot on Its a very fine line between delivering a suttle message and bombarding people with it i think!
@macpreston I think your doing it well mate keep at it. It reminded me to call a mate this morning so it's working
@@chasinlines4803 love to hear that! I also did the same!
Definitely keen to see this wheeling something very unique i reckon macca, also was very interesting see just all the detail you went into on everything keep up the good work lads👍
Cheers mate! Definitely keen to send this thing ofroad!!
All coming together, like a painting that starts out as just gooey stuff in tubes, a brush, a canvas & someone's amazing imagination. Love it Mac (& broader team!). ✌️
Thanks Paul! Your very rite pretty cool to see it coming together!
What a rig Boyz - love it
Loved the episode. Anxiously wait for the next episode. Totally love the collabs with other content creators. Keep em coming
Kool episode, thanks for the progress update, looking forward to the next ep. Cheers
Great episode boys, and I love how much you guys care about mental health.
Cheers boof! Its the little messages and reminders that can help!
yess Macca, good to have an update on the Big K truck. feel for u tj with the editing
Poor bloke a haha was a tough one this time!
Epic work Macca, love this build maybe more than the ln.
Haha it’s definitely a big build !
Yassssss loving this project 🤙🤙🤙
cant wait to see you guys start it up, and take it for a drive. Keep it up!
Same 🤩
Makes 2 of us there! Will do my best!
Oh wow. Selectro Locking Hubs!😍
So good Macca!
Ive been itching for another K truck build video to come out! Love your work and your content legends. It’s wicked to hear you try and push ways to make sure people get out and keep those heads full positive energy aswell boys! Until the next ep 🤙🏼
4.88 ratio with 37"s should be perfect for the Cummins.
From what ive been told by alot of the ram guys is 4:1 is where u want to be!
The k truck would look very good wheeling in New Zealand. TJ and Mac you are awesome. Keep up the good work
Thanks Jake ! Yeah I reckon it would 🫣
Cheers jake! Definitely will do our best!
What a progression of the K truck! Super interesting episode to see how it's all coming together. Keep the random "little things" content rolling our way.
Man I could just binge watch every single video you guys make on repeat 🙌
I love how you still crack ya sparky jokes with cleaning up 😂 it’s subtle but the tradies will get it 🤙🏻
Holy shitttt I’ve been waiting on this Macca!!! What a weapon. Gravy train 👌🏽👌🏽
Yeewww getting there slowly but surely!!!
This was worth the wait!
💪💪💪
Mint truck been waiting for this one if you can't beat a Cummings engine
It’s not 4 inches too high in front. You just have to match the rear too it 😂
Hahaha queensland transport and engineers might have a different opinion 🤣
Man that's sick
Weapon keen for the next one
Nice work.
Awesome work fellas!
That keen on the workwear hurry up with that shit!
Thanks fellas 🍻
Haha cheers will looking like mid october launch!
@30:27 We all saw it Mac, you're officially not a sparky anymore 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When welding sheet metal alternate from one side to the other to reduce chance of warping. Also for heat dissipation you can use a block of copper or brass if the back of the panel is accessible.
when I first saw the K truck so many eps ago It really wasn;t my jam so when it dropped as a build episode I skipped it. But I love builds especially watching the process of nutting stuff out. Eventually I got bored and caugh up..7.9° of awesome. Fab work off it's head, can;t wait to see this thing wheel once she's (it is a she?) finally tuned and track ready.
To clean🔥🔥🔥
May, the K-truck💪😎 you need to hit up kincrome for a better copper/tube cutter macca. I had a set of those cutters 15 years ago. Compression fittings they are mate👍 all good your a sparkie not a plumber😅 great vids mate, been following you 2 for a long time now.🇦🇺😎
Hahaha barely a sparky anymore but thanks for letting me off the hook! 🤣 apprecaite you following along!
Dude... get ya self a adflow weld helmet.. welding ss and ally will kill ya..
Ah thanks mate didnt realise! I dont tig very often tbh but i will look into that!
If you want an easier way of straightening out the alloy roll when it’s still in its roll, roll it out along the ground with your foot or hand so it rolla flat
For sure i tried that but didnt go very flat still havea big bow!
@@macpreston bugger cool trick tho
Laughing my ass of what are doing!! I f##cking love it bloke
Can't wait to see this done, unreal.
Hopefully the 60 will have a 12ht
Have to stay tuned for that one!
great episode guys! keep up the great content!
Doin good mac daddy ave fun wit it brother 💯❤️
Cheers troy defs will!!
Should show us the lowered GMC or Chevy that was in the back a few times🤙 Loving this build👌
Yeah keen 🤩
Some old episodes on it if you loook back 😜
Haha yeh air ride that one i built it from a rolling shell, i had a 350 sbc in it than i did the big block conversion! Couple of episodes from back in the day doing it on the channel!
@@macpreston sick🤙 Gonna rewatch all the old vids👍
@@137Clips haha beauty ther is 2 on the Apache and I think 3 on my old c10 I bagged
Excelente trabajo projecto,buen video por mas👍🍻

Awesome build Man! , Went to hit the like button several times throughout the video..
Ahh finally 😍
great content as always fellas
Put the diff centre in the cruiser
Would be sick 🫣
Mate you should fill the exhaust with gas when you tig weld it.
I did for half of it than i got over it haha i would if it was intake!
@@macpreston no worries, it’s a sweet build and looking forward to seeing it off-road.
@@SNLandCruisers thanks mate! Me to!
That bloke who won looks bloody familiar Dean
Could be it was actually his wife annette who won! haha she baught it for him!
@@macpreston nice, I work with him but on a different shift
Caught a sparkie on the end of a broom 😱
Got him 🤩
Na surely that was CGI editing haha
Now you guys should build a old ford next 😁
Those coilovers need a big ozzy boi sticker nearby
haha not wrong ! !
Is it bad that I work fifo 2 to 3 week swings at a time and the 1st thing I do when I get home is push the Mrs to the side and catch up on watch TJ & Mac 1st 😅
4" too high just seems right tho 😂
Looks insane 😂
Surely you guys come out with a "big strong Ozzy boy" sticker that's got the ktruck on it
Haha not a bad idea 😂
Haha not sure how that will fly with an american car on it but i love the idea!
Be a great sticker with Uncle pooly on it
Gonna be an absolute animal
So keen
hope this thing gets painted black hey
Not for a while haha but one day!
When I was your age, we used to have "band practice"....every thurs. there were severe sculling penalties if you turned up with a musical instrument...
Where’s Big Willy!!! Guest Appearance?
Mac doing the fuel hard line, same thing on mighty car mods gemini.
Looks great. Is that a common rail Cummins? I’m bummed, I didn’t win the 79 ☹️
What size tyres are you running?
What diff gears will you be changing the 4.88s to?
So basically ur the bloke behind the superior kits?
I ❤️ the k truck
does it skid like the ex 2.8 lux
Surely haha
Rigs looking sweet lads...hanging to hear some thong slapping action. Am I seeing a bit of salt n pepper on the noggin TJ? 😮 rock on fellas...great build.
F$&k I love your ppe maca 😂😂😂
If anyone can break an 8 speed gear box it’s you mak 👍🏽
Bloody tj coming in at the end, who’s he think he is 😂😆🤣
Haha Macca wanted me to come film the end
But I’m all for the glory shot haha
Phwoooar is it going to get out of your driveway (don't you have a car port out the front) 👀
What primer and paint do you use on the all parts and chassis?
what type of welder do you use or what do you recommend
Hey mate love the vids.When your welding tig, when terminating the weld make sure you leave the tig torch there for the post flow gas. Keep that molten pool shielded mate chase those rainbow unicorn welds 👍 love ya work lads keep it up yewwwwwww
