Looks like you're on the home stretch, looks good can't wait to see its debut in the woods!

its nice to see mother and daughter working together.that was a easy start.i find u get a good job with the paint.more stoping power for sure.cant wait to see that truck finish.

Nice to see the seat cover helping it reminds me when i did my first car and my late the wife helping me .big learning curve with no tools no garage and no idea what the hell i was doing but grate fun and grate memories

dang baby seatcover is growing up so fast. it wont be long and she will be driving you around in the mud

You and @Jeepin Mo are the only two I have seen on YT that knows how to pre-load bearings! And use Anti- Seize! I am proud of you and do so hope you are highly paid at your job!

Keep up the good work, good to see the family helping out.can't wait to see the first recovery. Been a faithful viewer since beginning

the garage paint job looks really good man! Enjoying the build of the truck. Congrats on 250 vids. Looking forward to more in the future

I just found your channel a few day's ago and I've been watching this build and got ALL caught up on it. Nice work converting it from Diesel to Gas too. You got me Hooked on your channel 4 sure.

Looking good BSF. Getting closer and closer to helping people get undicked out in the woods.

That's gotta feel good to be seeing all that work coming together. That'll be one bad-ass rig when you're done!

Great progress. I love your little girls "unwrapping" her present....haha.

Looking good- the disk brake conversions are nice. If you want the pads to last more than a year go ceramic.

I love the fact that bsf gets the kids involved. I got a six year old girl and a seven year old that love playing in the mud. hope to see y'all June 5th at bricks off road park in Missouri for trucks gone wild

Pretty nice that you and rory/trailmater include your daughters with what you do,

The new truck is looking good!!! Keep those videos comming

great job, truck is looking good, nice choice for rear brakes!

The truck looks great! Good Job, I'm also working on my '88 1 ton that is a bucket truck. 2wd though so no extreme off road bucket truck here, I wish though.

Damn that truck looks great! The paint even looks good! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Hey Eric, congrats on the 250 vids man. you got that truck coming together nice. cant wait till we get to see it on the trails.

Keep up ur work cant wait till you guys are back out in the woods

Im not a gm fan at all but you do have a nice looking truck there im not going to lie cant wait to see it out in the woods

That last shot looked like the truck roof won't clear the garage door. Or maybe the front wheels will drop down after clearing the doorway. I may look again. Great to see you guys making progress, and nearly ready for the trail. The little odds and ends will take some time, but you got the major stuff pretty much there! We are sending positive energy your way.

Truck is coming together really nice. Tons of work, but I am sure it is a labor of love. You'll be happy with the disks in the rear. The E-brake might be an issue, but I am sure it can be overcome.

Man i noticed you always under mind you self about your work... you done great things to this wrecker. Really nice paint job... looking at your quality vs a license shop, your work looks to be 10x better then most i been to. Great work bud. Lol little bit out of date but i had to go back and see your older videos.

opefully a front ARB air locker and wanted to say congrats on 250 vids! I've been there since almost the beginning about 40 vids in. Can't wait to see the new wrecker on the trails! Keep the faith! Also, use some of the donated funds get some nice KC or Hella lights aiming rearward would come in handy!! Congrats!

Aww your daughter is so adorable and a great little helper

dam always liked that truck even before the frame broke now it looks even much better😀👏👏🍻🍻🍻

Great kid i wish my girl was that little again. All girls should know about cars and trucks.

Congratulations on the 250 videos, and thank you for all the entertainment. I live close to Hudson if you ever need a welder, or some help message me I'd be more than willing to donate time to the wrecker

looking GOOD!!! Looking forward to more videos out on the trail. Good idea adding the disc brakes on the rear.

The wrecker looks great good job on the paint The truck looks like the old one would have when it was new

Congrats from Down Under. Looking forward to the next 250 videos!

Kid is so cute you are blessed

so epic love the videos every time i watch them i really want to go wheeling and im going to figure out a way to hopefully sometime in my life... keep up the videos its amazing to watch!!

For what you started with and what you had to do to it,AND working another job,I think it is looking great. Can't wait to see it go through the first mud hole. When and where is the first event for the truck?

keep up the good work,i see you had a "little" helper lol! i cant wait to see it finished

It's looking great man.. Congrats on 250 Vids.. Enjoying your whole channel.. Keep up the good work

liking the build man, thank you for sharing it with is.

I like the disc brake conversion but I was figuring the big secret was going to be air lockers. Ohh I didn't see any cheating going on on the un taping of the back window. Tell seat cover no whining or Ill send her a sippy cup

congratulations on firin it up and 250 videos!

Awesome little helper ya got there!!

Your litle girl definetively has born in heaven!

In my opinion I would have never converted rear drums to disks. Rear disks don't produce as much stopping power as the large drums that you had. Also, I think a lot of people forget that the drum brakes don't require a power booster. This means if your power booster fails and you have 4 wheel disks then you almost got no brakes since disks require a power booster. This actually had happened to me after the vacuum hose broke from the check valve at the brake booster. On another occasion, I had a 2002 Yukon XL 1500 with 4 wheel disks standard and the front brakes hose broke. The rear disks by themselves couldn't stop the truck completely without shifting the transmission into neutral.

When running out on the trails, through mud and sand, it gets trapped in the drums. The sand and mud wears out the brake shoes very fast. I was replacing rear brake shoes 2 or three times a summer. The disc brake pads last for 2-3 years running in the dirt/mud. That was the main reason for the swap.

It looks very nice I call it the workhorse magic The Bone American old school

It's good to see girls using there time working on trucks other than watching tv all day

That trucks a beast cant wait to see it on the trails

Love the videos keep them coming.

Truck's looking great! I am in awe at the amount of work you've done rebuilding this right from the frame up. I've been curious along the way if you're running the same THM400 that was mated to the engine before or are you using a different trans?

I love your truck

truck is looking good

That's going to be a BadAss Wrecker!!!

shes getting there great work love the videos

Lookin' foreward to the rest of the build!

Been waiting for the build and so far I've made it to here and one thing that I think needs to happen. Take it to a show. Show the work that has been put into this somewhere besides just here. It's just plain bad ass.

I love your vids can't wait to see the next one

A part # for those rear discs may be helpful forpeople wanting to do a disc conversion on their dually

The little one is too cute! Lol

Hi congratulations on the 250 video ! and it is looking great keep up the good work !

i am hooked . You really know your stuff . i just discovered this channel and the jeep cherokee stuck in the mud pit and the truck build was real educational and a joy to watch with my kids.I love the show . Good luck from Chicago IL. What events do you work? And how often do you go to those events and work ? Thanks again Eric V.

Power to the working class!

I know you said it's not a show quality paint job but, I've literally seen paint jobs and shops that are no where near as good as this and these guy are supposedly pros and this is they're profession of choice and someone actually paid them to do it !!! As far as I can see, u did a pretty damn good job. I want to try it for myself atleast once to see if I have the skills. Hell, I can do just about anything else automotive....why not try to paint...am I right !!! I wanna get your opinion on an engine project that I'm doing, if u don't mind me asking some questions. Let me know if you're willing to give your opinion.

I have had a little practice, painted a few tractors over the years. Red is tough, likes to orange peal if sprayed too thick on first coat.

Looks good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

new wrecker is looking good

Looking good!

Coming out really nice man!

Congrats on 250! I really like watching your videos, wish I could help you sometimes!

Get r done !!!!

Ya know you you really should look into making this dual boom winch, it's so much easier to right flipped over vehicles, trust me if you do it you won't regret it

Looks good to me mate💪💪👍👍

Nice, didn't realize that you were running rear discs.

Looks great congrats on 250 videos

looks good so far.

Tell you what that’s one heck of a pack of springs on that I got a F3 56.2 or 430 gears in it and it’ll hook up to 12,000 pounds won’t squat it at all , but the springs aren’t nearly as. Many as yours !

Can't wait for more videos

looks good ready to play

Did a nice job

well done

grats on 250!

too hell with show quality it looks damn good man i like it

Why the disc brakes for offroad use? I've found the anti-rattle clips tend to corrode and the pads wear unevenly when they get mucked up. I've found drums to have better parking brakes than disc too. For an offroad truck I'm not 100% convinced that disc is a good choice, for OTR towing it makes a lot of sense.

eformance I would probably keep the drums cuz I'm lazy and those particular drums do not lack stopping power, but some prefer disc because they don't trap water and mud as easy. Another thing I could see, in his case, is drum brakes use a wedging effect to stop, so they have considerably more stopping power in forward than reverse. Well, that means when he is using his microlock system and winching off the back, the brakes do not have their full holding power available. Disc brakes stop just as well in either direction. Or, maybe he just likes the idea of having disc brakes, which is why I think 99% of the people do the conversion. ;)

l337pwnage The big reason for the disc brake conversion is the mud and sand was wearing out the shoes in the drum brakes in about 3-4 weekends out on the trails.

Do you have part numbers for the rear disc setup ? Hats and brackets ?

What's up

This guy can build a square body Chevy blind folded

did you guys go with the Eldorado calipers so you'll have some sort of e brake? Truck looks great! Coming along very nicely!

With watching that one video where you lost your rear brakes, do you think that would have not happened if you would have drained the differential here while you were doing the disc brake conversion to get all the water & gunk out of it, or did that happen after the axle was rolled under the new truck????

hey, it's awesome. Can You make a video showing crane installation with close up for hydraulic pump and valves? Thank You very much buddy.
