Scott is dead between Eugene and Medford in Roseburg. it's absolutely beautiful around here. as for geography Oregon is interesting. we have the costal ranges, cascades and the high desert. from the coast ranges to the ocean is a between 20 feet and 20+ miles. it's all temperate forest. between the coastal range and Cascades is the valleys Roseburg and the 3 big cities fall into. fairly moderate but get really nice in the summer. east of the Cascades is the high desert and bend. it's pretty much like nevada out there. lots of circle farms however.

This is what was explained to me. I am not giving legal or accounting or tax advice. I am repeating this for your benefit. Keep every receipt and write on it exactly what it is for later reference. Some items are treated as an expense in the tax year of purchase and others are depreciated over a period of years - there is a big difference. Read Internal Revenue Code Section 179 which can give wonderful financial benefits to a business. It allows you to treat certain items as both a total expense in the year purchased AND also depreciate the item over a period of years. Yes, allowed double deduction. When you have a real business you need to take steps to protect yourself and assets from potential future liability claims. Even in the best situations liability risk can develop - why we have liability insurance. So hire a lawyer to create an LLC or equivalent in your state. Then ask him to create contracts or whatever for your involved in your business. Also hire a good accountant to keep records, give financial direction and advice, and prepare tax returns and documents.

Depending on how your business expenses are structured, and if you were to use the vehicle for non-business purposes, you may only be able to deduct the percent used for business. But yeah, since the expenses reduce reported income, it's like getting 20-30% back on what you spend on your vehicle.

As a contractor. This truck is priceless! It's all of my dreams rolled up in to one. I literally just feel in love all over again.

Am annoyed I can only like once. Nicely designed and done Scott!

Aside from the truck,(which is awesome), YOU, seem like a really cool guy. Enjoy many of your videos. You are very knowledgable. I wish you were in my area, and I needed work to be done.

Ultimate truck! I like the fact that you give credit to others who have helped you. That is really great.

Clack, clack, clack, Grrrrrroom. Miss the old 7.3 I use to drive. Very nice rig.

There are television channels that would love to air your segments, I can guarantee that.

This was super interesting. I want a truck like this so bad. I have no use for it either, but it's just so damn cool! Guys and their trucks, I guess. I certainly can't explain it. Not to mention it was designed with a friend. What a truck. What a story.

I would a absolutely love a truck like that. My dad had two Ford flatbeds, both manual trans, and I have a soft spot in my heart for them now.

I'm stealing a few ideas from your truck to use in mine

13 minutes of golden knowledge right there-thank you for all these videos. My only thought on the overall setup might be storing the most frequently used items on the passenger/curb side of the truck so you’re not exposed to as much traffic when parked on the street. I know from other videos you are often on a dedicated worksite or rural area so this is more of a suggestion for urban environments. Love your videos. It’s like getting back lost time with my dad/grandpa. I miss those days with them learning man stuff.

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for your time and the energy that you put into them. That adjustable hitch is a very clever idea!

Love the videos. This one also is close to my heart. I have a 7.3 box truck laid out all the way down to the hammers hanging and outlined in sharpie. Which I seem to get teased on but I know when ones missing. I feel the same as you do about your truck. Nice videos keep them coming. Thank you.

You did a fantastic job on this, honestly. As someone who has spent hours pondering something similar you have almost nothing you don’t need in it. Great job appreciate you sharing.

Scott, this video, as all of your videos, is deeply interesting and satisfying. I come back to it every few months to watch it over again. Especially when I'm brainstorming ideas for my own work van. It fuels my creativity and gets me excited to build something for myself.

Your attention to detail and pride in your craft shows through in this video. Keep up the good work!

Watched one video and subscribed, even though I think I'll never be as hard core as you are, I sure do appreciate the videos. BTW the main reason I subscribed is because I really like the way that you communicate and explain things, even though I know very little, I feel like I learn a little every time. Thank you!

I really appreciate your passion you have for what you do. I think that’s what tends to set the guys apart that just “do” a job and the guys that do a job right. I love my work truck too! All my little compartments for all my tools and gear. I love rolling up to a job knowing I have everything that I need, and some times other people need, to do my job. Properly. Efficiently. Love the videos!

Designed and built like a fire truck. A place for everything and everything in its place and enough equipment to tackle a wide range of situations - very impressive truck - Thanks for the tour!

grettings from argentina, watching your videos make me think other world is posible, a better one. I admire your will to do it better, to do it yourself, asking to who knows more, and to make it for the well of others

What is really nice is having a roller on the back of the roof rack. It can be a bit lower than the surface so the load wont rest on it. A roller is great to load lumber and ladders, it is a breeze.

Cool truck and well designed. I have been considering building a flatbed and front bumper for my 93 F250 4x4. So it was with great interest and appreciation that I watched this. Thanks for making my goals seem more attainable!

Confidence is so attractive. Knowledge and experience counts. Thanks for sharing. As a fellow Craftsman, maker I admire you. And you're a good teacher too.

Great personalization of your truck. It fits you and your work style. I do the same, only wish more contractors would think like this and not only chase the $$$ but put more into quality!

Honestly, I'm just looking for an idea of what to do with the rear of my truck when I rip the bed off of it. This is absolute genius.

Another great video. Agreed, 7.3 series was the best thing ford ever did. Love sending your videos to the young men on my crews. Finally a craftsman that is video logging some of the basics. A preservation to the skilled forces out there!

Aren’t they all tools that you may or may not need. Just having fun with you. That is the perfect tool/work truck built by a genius to improve work efficiency and productivity. Very impressive.

Great video, and great work truck Scott! I can’t help but mentioning that the box for your crane is a “C” form, not an LB. Probably the only people that would notice is an industrial electrician like myself.

I'm so glad I came across your channel there are so many things I had questions about that now I can get the correct answers thanks

Sweet truck. This rig was really well thought out. This has given me some great ideas to do on my build!

been a mechanic for 25 yrs, that's an excellent drive train

I am in the process of doing the same as you. Your detail to the trucks specs is just what i want. Thanks for the presentation. I am a welder and concrete guy and structural retrofit-er this is perfect.

Just about every video that I’ve seen of yours is interesting to me. I really appreciate your efforts in creating this KZread channel and wish you much success with it.

A load of great ideas there, thanks for showing us your rig. This reminds me of little things my dad would do to his work vehicles to make them handy.

That truck may never die.

What a great design and efficient use of every inch of space! As soon as I saw the preview of the video, I just knew that those models of Ford would not let you down. I am from Texas and we love trucks, but not everyone understands which trucks are the real tanks and which are just made of "plastic". The way you expressed your thoughts about the truck sure made clear what you have gotten from it, only great performance. I am only 23, but trust me when I say this, I've been through quite enough, work, college, etc... and I know a thing or two. In my house we have 3 Fords 7.3s and some other regular pickups. Those turbo diesel engines never fail! I love the channel, learning as much and as fast as I can. I am about to build my first 2 story little apartment in the back of my house for myself and I hope I can apply what I've seen so far and done in the past. Keep up the great work! Thank you for passing on your knowledge, that's all we can leave behind. I know that Oregon is a beautiful state, I hope I can visit one day. God bless y'all!

Nice video. I agree about the Ford diesels. I had an 86 F350 with the 6.9 and 4 spd. Loved it. The best part of the video is when he gets in, starts it up (and you hear the engine's growl) and he drives away.

I wish I had You in my family. Working or just living with you seems so joyful and fulfilling. You would be a great teacher/mentor/father figure in any man or womans life. We need more people like You.

A tool tank indeed. Great setup. I'm struggling (only a little) with letting my 7.3 go to my son...I think we'll need to keep in the family as an heirloom. The replacement has big shoes to fill.
