1918 Liberty Truck and TxDOT Centennial Celebration 

Since 1928? She sure did her time. to the board! We wanna be doing full speed! 15 MPH! Hold on! Awesome service vehicle. Sure sounds good now. When you approached the gate, I thought you had a Rusty Glovebox sticker on the gate door. LOL! That's quite a steering wheel & almost straight down! That must've taken hours to prep for the paint! Awesome job on the restoration guys! She's a real jewel now. Just beautiful man! Great video Lloyd. Like that you added some of it's uses back in the day.

What a neat old truck. With the size of that engine and hand starting would be a challenge all on it's own. Nice resto work.

That is something. It's amazing to see any vehicle still able to be driven around one hundred years later. To bad they don't build things to last anymore. Thanks for sharing. Joe

Hello! It is a great track. 1918! I was affected. Thank you very much.

Great video! That truck is older than I am! Wow! Amazing to see it running and moving under its own power. There's no reason in the world that anyone should go faster than 15 mph! Thanks Lloyd.

Congratulations and Great Job Guys. We have come a long ways in 100 years Compared to how long we toiled with animals.

Wow that thing turned out AWESOME. Great job my friend. Nothing like an old truck. They were so simple :)

That is a great truck with a lot of history, glad yall restored it

Gotta love old stuff.

It's nice to see that truck back running and looking like new.

Those first Chevy trucks are badass from 1918 to all the earliest ones 1928 are badass also

That's a fantastic piece of history. It's a real testament to its makers and its restorers. Great video.

You definitely get to work on some interesting vehicles Lloyd. Everyone can be proud of that restoration.

Great Video, ya'll did a great job on the truck. Saw it in 2011 at Camp Hubbard shop in Austin. Did not realize it was a running truck back then. Missed seeing it when it came to the Houston District on the tour as I had recently retired from TxDot and been pretty busy with the honeydews!

it is great to see a part of history, still working

Really Awesome that you got to be a part of the history of that truck, it would be really nice to have it in one of the reinactments at camp maybry there in Austin, my dad was stationed in Austin back years ago, I have a scar on my forehead to prove it Lol man that was years ago.i think my day said it was like the second or third oldest installation in Texas, it had a museum and all when I was a kid.

That steering wheel is great. Very nice old truck!!

You guys did an amazing job bringing her back to better than new condition!

Thanks for sharing that Lloyd. What a remarkable truck. Excellent restoration.

Very Cool Project To Be A Part Of! 😎

Great truck

that's one very cool machine!!!

Cool truck , prob not going to out run the cops or anything , but i really like it . It looks so much better green . It turned out very well, looks real good

Great old truck! Mechanical brakes, I'm guessing?

425 cu.in., 52 HP? Whoah!

Very Nice Restoration on this 0l' Truck Lloyd. It turned out quite nice with the Army Green paint on it. Do you know when it can be seen in each of our own Counties around the state by any chance? I sure would like to go and see it. Oh by the way, I hope that wasn't "Starting Fluid" being used to start the engine in that can, in the video. That Will sure wash down the cylinder walls for sure with a Dry Start.

Just put this one on Facebook

That is such a cool truck. Did you get to drive it Lloyd?

I have my grandpa's 1 year pocket journal from 1918. In July 1918 he's been assigned a ??? QUAD. I'm ever so curious if THIS is what he is referring to. He was in France, Nexon, Limoge, etc. Apparently training on vehicles and inspecting and repairing them. Days after having acquired his 'quad' (some difficulty reading the journal, look like quad) he we sent out for supplies. I do hope you'll respond to this if you know of any real history of these rigs. THANX!

What a great ruck. Does it have air conditioning? (ha ha) It will put a lot of smiles on peoples faces.

Dat you on the back of the truck in you Foster Grants? Don't mess with Texas and don't mess with Rusty.

It must feel like driving a box of metal.
