We're stripping down an old '94 Ford dump truck to harvest its clean 2017 dump bed, high-capacity hydraulic cylinder, and specialized parts to finish our custom military Army 6x6 dump truck build. Watch the complete breakdown as Kevin, Tucker, and the crew tackle severe frame damage, modify a heavy-duty PTO drive shaft in the lathe, custom-plumb a massive 40 GPM dump pump to simultaneously run a hydraulic winch, and lay down a custom camouflage paint job. We test the air tailgate, electric tarp system, and dual-purpose hydraulic lines to see if this high-stakes mechanical marriage actually functions perfectly or ends in a major workshop disaster. 00:00 – Inspecting the Ford Dump Truck & Cat 3406 Engine 04:18 – Finding the Broken Frame & Removal Strategy 07:45 – Cutting Off Hinge Pins & Striking Asphalt Sideboards 12:20 – Crane Lifting the Dump Bed Off the Chassis 16:30 – Prepping the Bed on a Custom Military Trailer 20:45 – Custom Plumbing a 3-Line 40 GPM Hydraulic Dump Pump 24:40 – Fabricating and Welding a New PTO Drive Shaft 29:15 – Mounting the Fluid Tank & Routing Winch Valves 33:00 – Fighting a Frozen Hydraulic Cylinder Pin 41:50 – Reviewing Kevin’s Custom Camouflage Paint Job 44:10 – Marrying the Bed to the Custom Army 6x6 Chassis 48:00 – Tucker Welds the Main Hinge Assemblies 51:10 – Live Hydraulic Testing: Dump Bed & Winch Function 56:40 – Final Road Test Walkaround & Surplus Parts Outro #HeavyMachinery #DumpTruckBuild #6x6Trucks #dieselmechanic

I really wish that, as friends of the channel, could make Tucker understand that he is loved. We very much appreciate his talents and like having him in the videos. His personality adds a lot to the content of the C&C YouTube Channel I'm also sure that his talents are appreciated in the shop. Stop selling yourself short Tucker. Tom
Randy is the unsung hero at C&C ❤
Paint job is only as good as the preperation. Randy is the man.
How can anyone hate you, Tucker? You are witty, and very capable. Always remember, if people are taking shots at you it says more about them than you. Chin up, kiddo.
I have to say one thing ! I watch a good amount of channels that work on equipment, and I was a mechanic for 50 years on industrial equipment ,your channel and videos are the BEST , funny, informative, not boring and entertaining! Keep up the great work !
Imagine how DP feels after 5 years and his isn’t done yet!!!
Hey Randy hey man you did an awesome clean and rub job you aint forgotten neither nice one Randy😮
We all know that Kevin gets credit for being funny, which he obviously is, but let’s acknowledge Clint for his wicked sense of humour too - a great sniper!
We, and I speak for the entire UK 🇬🇧, think Tucker is a very talented young man, who’s no doubt a complete asset to the business. Great vlog as always guys👏🇬🇧😊
Excellent welding Tucker you should be proud
The kid does nice welds!
Thats one nice dump truck.
A fine job on the sanding Randy and another great paint job Kevin, can’t forget Tuckers welding too. Another fine team outcome 😊
Cleaning and scraping old asphalt sucks, I just had to clean 2 pavers in the last 3 weeks, I went through almost 2 whole propane tanks, and 2 of them yellow cans, I probably scrapped off 1800 pounds or so of old black top, definitely sucks lol, sweet video brother
Got some train action there at the end, thanks for that! Tucker, there is a whole lot of us out here that appreciate you and like you just the way you are, don't change for NOBODY. KA KAWWWWWWWWW!!
Truck turned out fantastic...another satisfied customer
The whole team did an excellent job
These paint jobs are really, really getting good. Congrats to everyone on this project.
You might have blown the budget, but you got a great looking truck in the bargain. Thanks for taking us along today.
Epic build. Needs a two thumbs up button. Shout out to Randy for the elbow grease behind the scenes..
