I can't understand why you don't have half a million subs buy now. Good work Brent ....
I just found this channel by looking up stuff for my ‘48 GMC
It is amazing. huh?
KZhead is not fair.
Brent that is Lime ! They'll be able to see you coming for a mile. 🤯 I didn't expect that 👍
It'll be like the color of the '37 pickup interior. Some like it and ....
Brent, I've seen many many push lock style air tubing fittings over my years as a machine tool repairman. I've also seen many fail too. I would HIGHLY recommend spares in the glove box. They're small enough to keep a handful in the vehicle. It's weird I've seen some of these last for years and some not so much. Various styles (plastic, or nylon, or brass doesn't seem to matter all that much really). Just wanted to put my 2 cents in (sorry idk the Canadian 2 cents or looneys twofers or what have you lol). As always love the video. Btw the music (which I've always thought your selections were mostly perfect over the last few years I've watched your channel) anyway the music when you're painting the back of the cab at the beginning was perfect. And I'm picky. Thanks.
That'll be a halfass kustom green mascot truck....cool.
When you show us outside and i think of the old shop and the little garage after the fire, then you pan the camera around thew new shop and its like HEAVAN on Earth. Wow so much room, so much light, all your stuff in one building and available to use it is just so nice. You sure have earned that shop Brent and I am glad to be a tiny part of trying to help you get there. God Bless and lets build some Hot Rods! D
I'am loving this build. You must have never-ending enthusiasm! Best of luck to you and your family!
The dawgs ~ Don’t kid yourself Brent, we are supervising the build. Woof!😂🇨🇦🥶
How he envisions these custom rigs is a mystery but the end results are amazing - especially if Pablo approves!
Unusual to see both dogs together in the shop! Hi y’all! Mama card here.
A helper would be nice for threading those lines. You are a one man show. 😊
LOVE the COLOR of the truck..... You should make the truck look like your toolbox with the logos.. I love it....
Just how you named your channel as a Half Ass, not to disappoint or cause troubles for anyone no how. Loved every part of this Brent so keep it up
I watch loads of KZhead videos but Brent yours is far better than the rest , by far the most entertaining and informative KZhead channel I’ve ever watched, keep it coming
Watching you paint in double time , It's like you have a rattle can in both hands !! . I always look forward to every video , you get so much done . Thank you so much for having us along , Stuart in Ontario ..
I wish I could edit my life like your videos, it's amazing what you get done in such a short amount of time 😂😂, great work on the air system
My appreciation of this build just improved with your color choice on the rear of the cab. I think it will look really nice in that neon green/yellow or as I knew it back in 69, sassy grass green.
Brent you are a master figuring things out and building something to make it work. Love the truck built.
Yeah Baby you got this. Wow is that going to be cool. You have a vision and you build it Such a craftsman. Dennis
I bet the people that made the truck new. Would never think the truck would have a new home-made new stuff on it.
Nice air hose work Brent. Like it! Nice to help your friend out with his car. Good tunes too!
Happy Tuesday Canada 🇨🇦!😊🛻👍👍👍👍✌️
It's good that you are able to find enough to keep yourself busy...😁
I wouldn't wish a fire on anyone. What a terrible thing to go through. But every day that is fading into the past and even though it is snowing, the new shop is fantastic. Hope you enjoy it many years to come.
👍 Brent....fantastic video...great music & fun to c both pups 'hang'n' 🐕 🤠
Pablo is definitely your dog and best friend 😊
Nice having Rollie on the channel
Coming along nicely Brent. This is great build to watch, Thank You!
Love where going with the truck, I always expect to see the best in your videos, and you never fail to deliver!
This is one of my favorite builds that you have done ,even tho I like all your builds thanks for taking us along
Looking forward to seeing what you do next…looks great with the air ride brent ..
Halfass Kustoms green...love it!!!😎👍
Minty ! Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out . Later ...
A little more done on 49 it all counts .your standing fork lift has been a very use full tool in the shop great fined .Thank you for sharing well done sir Brent

Brent thank you good sir,an may you an your's be blessed an you are having way too much fun, Jeff Judah
Pablo ~ My dawg bed is my home. I ain’t movin’ for no cutoff saw interlopers. Woof! I am Pablo and I approve this message.😂🇨🇦
Love the color it matches your stickers,half-ass green
I do believe Brent enjoys working in his new shop and it's joy to watch him play. LOL
Paint!!!(some anyway) Air bags look good. Looked like Pablo likes his chew rope toy.
Looking good, I'm loving your general truck , now that's a proper truck!
I was able to see a better view of the bed when you put it back on, and it's got some really good lines to it and understand now why you changed up the rear fenders. Your new light help a lot. It's going to show well, looking forward to see what you do for rims and how the top will look.
As always, I want to thank you for the enjoyable content.
Excellent on the bagging, engine bay looks super. FYI , I'd rather hear your voice instead of the music, just saying, LATER! Jack, RI, USA
Tag team welding, new concept, like that Brent. Great job guys. Keep up the work.
great progress Brent, another step forward, well done!
Nice work as always. Makes me want to go full kustom on the HAK Fargo. Still not convinced with the air ride. Mind you i have never driven or had a ride in something bagged. Things i have wrecked with my hoist Air lines Extension cord Creeper seat Tool cart Broom Think thats it. So far😂
Funny - this truck... the way it looks... makes me think of a recent build on Salvage to Savage. They customized a blue and white pickup ... and are still in the middle of it I think. The bed doesn't have a bottom on it, and it looks a lot like yours... but I guess it would look like any pickup truck - even as far back as 1949. If you haven't seen it, you might want to check it out. They are an upscale resto-mod builder, from what I understand. You make stuff work... and they work on pricey stuff. Enjoying the build. Thanks for sharing this project with us.
You are a very talented man ,have a great day.Brian.
How lucky we are that you keeping pumping out such amazing content. Thankyou.
That's going to look and ride great! Keep wrenching!
That color just eliminated the need for brake lights!
we are having rain here in U S . Connecticut
Hey Brent! Man it’s really coming along. I like it. Stay safe😀😀
Green with envy, looking good
G'day mate love the build ..awesome colour choice supercool little truck definitely an eye catcher 🙏👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
That green is going to look Great.
Awesome job on air ride Brent.
More good progress!! I like it!!! Take care and catch you later.
Thanks for another , Brother !
I didn’t see you do it but maybe you did, shooting paint on the outside of the box where it meets the cab?😮
Truck coming along nicely Brent and Good color
Paint'n da back a da cab n mount'n da box, air bags ta da front n air jack'n da air bags in fer da rear, plumber'n da lines. Pablo's opinion counts so does his bed n chew toys.
Don't forget to paint the front of the box as well as the back of the cab.
Bag mounts looking good. But I'd make some drain slots so you don't get standing water and mud up in there after driving awhile.
Another great video. So much done and good to see you have some help in the shop. Working all by yourself could be bad if something happened out there. Be careful. like, share and let’s get to 200k subscribers.
You need too pull the plug(s) on the lower side of the block in the middle near the oil pan it's a 9/16 plug. You can drain almost all the water out of the block this way. Should take both out to drain both sides of the block. I like your Channel. Keep up the good work.
While the plugs are out find out the correct one and put a block heater in it. Finally put one in my AMC 258 I6 in my CJ7 last fall and it’s started great all winter long.
Awesome job keep it coming
Such loyal dogs. I wound up with 2 cats I'm trying to make indoor cats lol.Wish me luck
love those resting dogs
At first I couldn’t envision where this truck design was headed, but it’s coming out great!
Those short bags are for a semi cab, they take the place of the rubber mounts
Well done Brent!👍👍👍👍👍
Nicely done
Ah when your good your just good I like it
Cool stuff. Enjoyed watching the progress ✌️ 😎
Coming along nicely !
good show. Keep on Truckin😎👍
I think that colour of truck. White top, white wheels and red pin stripping👍
Great progress
Greetings Brent, good progress on the truck. 👌 I think the dogs really like the new shop as well. Give them an ear rub for me. Best wishes 👍👍👍
I think running the air lines inside the frame is a great idea. You’re definitely getting there Brent! 💯👍👊
