Hey What's Up Guys? Im James Pretty, I find old Semi Trucks People have left for dead and buy them and bring them back to life. Were not going to do full restorations on all of them but we are going to get them out of the woods or field and get them running and road worthy. we have 13 right now and more to come.. I really enjoy the Hunt and the first time I get one running.. Its Not Easy Being Pretty, but It Sure Is Fun1 Thanks For Watching
Are you feeling better now I hope so brother You went down. There a little brother the truck looks so good. Good job man keep up the good good work safe travels on the airplane, captain
James Pretty, i was just now thinking that you should get a blow up spray booth. like the one that tim gentry has to do your trucks with and some more anti seize compound too.?
Those rocker box pins are sure hard to get out did couple lots them my last kenworth had been done with new rocker boxs and pins which was good . Now have move it on walked away from trucks now
@@JamesPretty I had to look up what feelings was… don’t get the concept of them… my dad was a Korean War veteran! So I never had any of those things… he would always say suck it up and be a damn man! lol
@JamesPretty ok, I just wondered - why go thru all of the trouble to repair that set up? Why not do a cut off and put air ride on it? The truck is so nice , I think it's screaming for air ride. Also, I don't know how much experience you have with new tires, but new tires will feel "greasy" going down the road until they get broken in so if that rear end feels like its walking around on ya, then that's probably why. I put a cheaper set of Chinese drives on one of my trucks and it they had that greasy feeling going diwn the road for about the first 75,000 miles on them.
@@hankhill3263 initially I liked the wheelbase then after riding in chads blue truck I realized the reyco spring ride actually rides as good as most of my air rides. So I decided to keep It
@JamesPretty ohhh ok, to be honest I haven't driven maby spring ride trucks, just ride in akit when I was a kid and remember getting beat to death LOL, dies the rear end feel greasy with them new tires?
Great video James glad to see Krystal all back together and sounds great running down the road. Looking forward to your next video stay safe James and Jessica.
I owned a W model that came with the same suspension. We used to have a big truck spring shop near here in Youngstown, Oh called EMCH Spring, and they would remove and replace both left and right rocker and have you out the door in less than 2 hours. Way back in the late 1960 s, they had an old fashioned pop machine full of beer that you got free while waiting. They even could make any spring(including coil) while you waited.
Hey James, Please hold those drive punches with vice grips or something to protect those hands. Wouldn't want to ruin them so you cant fly the 747. Have a great day. Bill
Hi James and Jessica took a bit of heat to get that apart and the big air wrench too. But on the bright side now it’s done and shouldn’t be a worry for a long time. Boy Krystal sounds great looking better every day. Did you ever get that pin out? It’s funny how the paint cans work color wise I’ve had the same thing. Get three cans and they say they’re the same color then the last one you can see the difference. Was wondering who was filming then realized had to be Jessica. Stay safe guys
