Fellow Utahan here 🎉happy Pioneer Day
Going to be one sweet ass truck when it's done. Can't wait until the next video guy's. Happy Birthday Aaron hope you had a blast celebrating it. Keep up the great work guy's and stay safe.
This might be my favorite build if it ever goes to completion, and it'll earn my subscription when it is...
Looks like the shop have to brothers working together.
These are some of the best
Amazing build yall should have this truck on display at trade show or something 😮
I love you guys, but you'll don't put up enough content. What's up with that. You'll leave us hanging. More content please. Love you guys from TEXAS
We would love to do more but we have a pretty small team. We try to hit every Sunday
Would like to see more actual work, than the camera guy interrupting!
Ironically enough the camera guy is why you are seeing any of the work.
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS😂😂😂 for real though
Happy Birthday Aaron! Another sick build; can’t wait for the next update!
Thanks for watching! More to come
What's your plan for the two different gear ratios? rockwells 6.72 vs dana 4.xx? 4.90's in the rockwell or 6.50s in the dana to match?
He explained earlier it's to compensate for different wheel sizes~
@@calvincheney7405 i know guy, all six axles have to have the same ratio, one is not like the other...
@@Jason.O379 they are all 4:88/4:90
All those downhill squirt gun welds....
So so awesome.
It’s going to be so much truck!
Happy Birth day Yung man bring bail money lol
Hahaha!! Thanks
Happy birthday Aaron

That would be cool
dope, In for the rockwell/ dana 110 hybrid action that is awesone! What brand of fab tables are you guys using? I'm in the market.
Thanks for watching! Ill answer that tomorrow;) I honestly can’t remember
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS id appreciate it
It is from weldtables.com
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS thanks so much
I'm loving ALL your builds and looking forward to seeing the 6X6 roll down the road and the C60 build completed!
Thanks for watching! We hope to have more coming next sunday
Man this channel deserves more love
Thanks for commenting! Helps bring more love haha
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS you'll get there, just keep pushing out content on a regular basis. Its going to take a little time but you're putting out the right content. Much love to Cole & crew🍻🇺🇸💪🏻
We will keep pumping it out! Thanks Buzz
Ya I’m surprised it hasn’t gone bigger yet. I know covit help everyone grow. But damn this channel isn’t growing
A cup of coffee and a new video from JACKKNIFE Motors what more could a guy ask for. Loving the channel guy's keep it up.
Thanks for watching Jeff! We should have another video next week as long as we can keep moving
At least the 6x6 is black so we can agree on that part of the coffee XD... Excellent craftsmanship as always :)
I hope it stays that way! Thanks for watching
Excellent design, assembly, welding fit up and craftmanship. Thank s for this build and video. It gives me something to dream about having some day. Thanks
Thanks! We should have more coming next Sunday
such B.S. About your Grandmother on a 6x6lol.lol
You don’t talk about Nana like that
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS😂😂😂😂
Fat truck ,fat Trax whatever you call it isn't doing so well ? That's because Sherp and polaris already got that market covered, just because Sparks has money to lose doesn't mean it's a good idea to go in business with him, especially on something that's been around for a long time. He'll wait for you to go bankrupt and buy all your shit for 20% of it's value good luck guys
You have no idea what you’re talking about…. Hahaha!
those welds looks sick totally cool. stacking dimes lol
Thanks for watching!!
Love your details on your build
We will be showing as much as possible
I meant to ask this after you answered my last question. But do 6x6 trucks of this size actually function well off road? Everyone on the internet has a different opinion on this but the military uses a ton of trucks like this. Like Hennessy dos a bunch of 6x6 trucks but those are just pointless toys. Oh and to increase maneuverability, will the rear axel also have steering ability? I know that someone once stole a Raptor 6x6 in LA a few years ago and the police caught them in like 15 mins because it had no maneuverability whatsoever.
I forgot to be more clear on the military trucks. Those things are huge so I understand why a 6x6 configuration works. Civilian sized trucks (while still enormous) don’t seem to benefit. At least from what I’ve seen. I am talking about the Australian 6x6 conversions that are done to the Toyotas they have over there.
That was the Sparks Motors 6x6 that was built for the DJ Marshmallow. I have actually driven the truck itself and surprisingly it has the same turning radius as stock. That truck did not have lockers on it... this one will.
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORSthat is a remarkably poor turning radius. But then I suppose that if a truck like that had a regular turning radius it would end up falling over at speed. Are you guys planning on putting bigger breaks on this vehicle? It’s always so weird for me to see 10k plus lbs vehicles have tinny breaks. Like come on guys don’t save money on breaks.
Credit to all and the skills you all have nothing but respect!!
Showing how capable these guys are is the main thing I love about making these videos.
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS plus no b.s Hollywood utube
@JACKKNIFEMOTORS what ever happened to the Subaru driving micro brew drinking hipster? Couldn't hang with the big boys sent him home crying hahaha. Keep killing it
Hahaha idk who that would have been
@@JACKKNIFEMOTORS some people just aren't built to work with real men
🐺😎👣👣👣
First!! Thanks for watching
Me myself i could less about some dumd dumb thinks about stuff every one thinks different 😊🎉
I am way late but; I used to be a truck driver, and I have made many long trips for my old construction work. I am going to guess 1½ hours, late than target time you have urinate and your going to get thirsty and want to stretch your legs. You determined, so I didn't add additional time, for lolligagging.
Guessing 19 hours home
I was looking on face book and saw a c50, then I was hooked. I want one so bad. I did not realize there was such a desire for them now.
You have a humongous shop, but it has no build order, it doesn't look to have any functionality....need a Nascar shop foreman to give you some pointers perhaps...
Just so happens you are my guy? Mr. NASCAR??
Ol’ Ricky is going to go full Dale up in here.
It’s Great 👍 To give back u should do this more. Great video Cole ✌️
Just curious🤔, but wouldn't it been easier to just use the whole rockwell axle and just cut the ends off and put the ford hubs on with custom axles and suspension. And Correct me if im wrong, but the f550 comes from the factory with the square tube big truck style rear end for the weight capacity. Where as the axle you showed at the beginning of the video was more for a f450 since they still use the cast iron center section with weld in axle tubes.
Initially we were going to use the M300 out of a 2017+ (these have a 4.5” round tube) We ended up going with a s110 which is pre 2017 (these do have square axle tubes). The square tube dimensions are different between the Rockwell and s110. It’s not like we could just sleeve one into the other and also the snouts are still round. The route we went allowed a .375 faceplate the we can mill flat, have proper pinion offset, self fixtured, went together really fast and it’s aesthetically pleasing. 450 and 550 have utilized the same axles throughout the years. In conclusion our intermediate is a s110/hybrid (square from a 15’ f550) our rear is a m300 (round from a 23’ f550)
