1957 Autocar Truck Restoration: Removing Cab & Transmission Damage! 

The "are you crazy" look your wife gave you when you said she was going to drive the loader was priceless.

"it's just like driving a really big car" "But I'm not good at driving" "That's true" Had me laughing so hard

my wife and I never agree on a project, but I never could ask for anyone better in a crisis!

The lady done an excellent job helping. Bless her heart 😊

"Brakes don't do anything" "The other left" Some great moments

Wife: Why don't you get nice things? Matt: I got you baby!

Wife did a great job . A real trooper and helper.

Oh man, your wife had me cracking up. She is a keeper.

He got the best sidekick ever. His wife is one tough woman

Price of the Loader $4000, Watching the wife drive Priceless.

Ms. Creek made this video very, very amusing!

Very proud of your wife for not being scared of the heavy machine

Man: "We are going to pull the crane truck over here now." Wife: "We.......?" Your wife is such a cool woman.

She doesn’t appear to like the big toys like u do but she sticks her nose in there, give her credit 💪

So admire Mrs Matt for her willingness to jump behind the wheel of that mountain of machinery and just give it a go! And to stand well into harm's way to guide that cab into a safe resting spot. You go girl!

You're wife is hysterical! I worked 14 years for Tilcon North Branford CT as the Road Runner for the State of CT. I once moved a CAT 992 Face Loader. 2 stories tall, felt like a house, moved like an actual cat! I was once belleding brakes in my driveway. It has a wall on each side. On a Summer night at dusk. I needed my wife to pump the pedal. She said "I'm in my PJs". I told her "it's not a fashion show! and "you're sitting IN THE CAR!" Who's going to see you? Geez! Mrs Creek is a Champion in my book. Just ignore the bullet hole! LMAO!

Haha. The look on your wife's face was priceless. She is a good sport.

I love the flex and the confidence in the miss’s after she threw that wheel block down. Absolutely killed me

Matts school of heavy equipment driving . Lesson 1 : the wife is always right 😂

that look on her face learning how to use that machine is priceless!

My outfit choice was on point 👌🏼😂

The Mrs. is just what a wife is, a help right beside you. Every time we see the two of you working together she will jump in and make it happen. That is success, plain as day.

Hats off to your wife, she just jumps in and has a go.

I was impressed with how the Missus jumled right in the cab and stuck with it. But when she grabbed the blocks and chocked the wheels, Really impressed!

your wife seems cool. her saying but "im not good at driving" killed me lol

Your wife is a hoot. The quotable lines kept coming. "Why can't you buy NICE things, Matt?". "It stinks in here! Is that a BULLET HOLE??" :)

She needs three hugs and you did well thanks for your wonderful help

How can people dislike these kind of videos ? He’s a regular guy that enjoys doing what he likes to do

The two of you…a mixture of Fred and Ethel; Abbott and Costello; Levern and Shirley. 😃😃👍

Ms. "Creek", you just did more driving of heavy equipment than 90% of the people watching this video. You did good, you didn't knock down any trees or dent the machine. Can't ask more than that.

Watching this in May 2023. Pretty amazing how much has changed at your property in the past year

your wife is a hell of a trouper, and she puts up with you, that's a plus

Well Done Mrs dc Most ladies wouldn’t even give it a go

lol your wife's facial expressions are priceless

Your ol lady seemed extremely thrilled to operate the loader.

Mrs Creek is Awesome!! I don't think I'd ever want to make her mad; she's strong! 🙂

your wife actually did a real good job. she is a blessing to you.

Mrs. D.C. Is a little salty. I love how she just jumps in and does the stuff you ask her to even when she doesn't feel like sh is good at it. You know you made the right choice when she jumps in and works by your side.

Those old autocars were beasts couldn’t kill them !

Matt, you are so good at what you do. Thank goodness your wife can drive the front end loader. 🙂

Your wife is great. At first she's all about I can't do that. Then suddenly she's right in there working on the truck and helping to get the cab lifted. She jumped up on the motor and did whatever you needed her to do. Great job!

Your wife did well! She's willing to try, and she'll get the hang of driving the loader fast. Nice to have the help!

it's nice to see your wife helping you to do these things well done

The wife addition created a whole new interest aspect to your videos. You're learnin'!

My wife and I can't even turn on a light switch together and we've been together near 50 years! You're a lucky man!

I'm very happy that you included her chocking the wheels -- especially after she told you to. She's a sparkplug!

I’m giving the wife mass kuddos for just getting in there and getting it done!

Wow... Your wife is so lovely and understanding with your passion... All the best for both of you...

Kudos to your lovely wife for stepping up and helping you. Her hustle on getting that block of concrete behind the wheel of the truck was impressive. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

I think Mrs Creek should be a regular feature, She is very humorous and quiet handy as a third and forth hand and of course adds a whole extra vibe to the channel :)

What a gal ! She jumped right in to assist.

First time meeting Mrs. DieselCreek...and I loved the faces she made operating that big machine. I do hope you feature more videos with her. Don't know if she actually likes this kind of stuff but, she didn't back down from it and wasn't scared on putting effort on stuff...and that to me is a win! Congrats.

In spite of her lack of confidence, your lovely assistant still tries (and succeeds!) - much respect to her for that.

“Why can’t you buy nice things?” Most relatable wife quote.

Please more wife cameos, she’s hilarious!

Wife's look is priceless.

Kudos to mrs. creek, she ain’t scared o’nuthin, she’s brilliant, hats off mrs. creek 👍👍👍😁

" why can't you buy anything that isn't rusty?" love that :) She is a firecracker. I love it!!

Your helper is a brave woman!

Love when the wife comes in and instantly is better than me at driving big machines:D

“Why can’t you buy nice stuff that’s not all rusty??” What Matt wanted to say: BECAUSE IF I SPENT THE MONEY ON A NEW ONE YOUD BE PLANNING MY FUNERAL OR SIGNING DIVORCE PAPERS

“ I’m not good at driving “ 😭 oh God I love her ! Really . She’s great . When the Autocar is on the road , would love to see her throwing gears on it . The look on her face when the engine started was priceless . She is absolutely fun 👍 always welcome mrs. diesel creek ✌🏻she is fearless .

Any video with the mrs is gold 😂

I do like that Mrs. Creek. Clearly the brains of the outfit... And excellent comic timing.

Wife Runs over with wood chock for the wheels: “make sure that’s in the video!” 😹

18:10 "And now, time to test the tensile strength of anything I forgot to disconnect..."

Haha fair play to the 'Missus' for getting in the excavator...great episode many thanks for posting...

Your wife was a real trooper through it all.

Your wife looks like she's a lot of fun. Lucky you Matt.

On some of the old 5 speeds you had to put it in reverse to remove the top.Good job.My wife and I were diesel and truck mechanics.She worked with me over 35 years of the 66 years we have been married.Love your videos.

your wife and the F1 sound is A M A Z I N G !!!

Cool old 1957 Autocar DC75 Truck Don't see these much anymore These days Matt @Diesel Creek

Oh man, your wife had me cracking up. she just jumps in and has a go. She is a keeper.

OMG.. your wife is awesome!! so brave driving that front end loader the first time on camera too. Kudos to her.

At the 18:30+ mark, I'm saying Woa!!.... I thought that perhaps you forgot to unbolt the support rods at the firewall for the radiator, as I was watching the radiator shroud being pulled backwards as you were initially trying to lift the cab! Whew!! That wife of yours is little "pistol"... as the ole saying goes... "dynamite, comes in small packages"!! lol..... and in her case, that's a compliment! Love how she just got right in there with you, and went for it..... She's Definitely Not a "prissy" like so many, these days! She's definitely a "Keeper"... you're a Blessed young man!! Enjoy and treasure her... and each other, and you'll have a long life together. Love your video's... subscribed about a year ago, with the first video of yours that I found and watched, and have "liked" all of them. PS: The very first truck I ever drove (as a present to me on my 13th birthday) was a big "A"Car (DC-9964 - OHNES.. special order), Cummins NH 250 (with the "back-drop" exh. manifold & dual straight pipes), with a double "over" 5x4. It was a dump truck, with an 18 yd (water level) body, plus 16" side boards for extra capacity. Always had a "special place" in my heart for the big square fender "A"Cars... and twin sticks, but my favorite power has Always been the 2 cycle Detroits, and have owned 3 semis with V12 power (modified) and "sticks".

The old AutoCar is one Awesome looking truck.. Always love them.

I'd give your wife an "A" for first time driving an articulating vehicle. Blink your eyes and you're going in the opposite direction thinking, "WT..." LOL She's a good swamper, too. My late wife was a keeper, too. Good catch on the bearing.

We’re going to get the crane truck. She says, “What’s this we bullcrap?”

I don’t know enough about auto mechanics to offer an intelligent opinion., I just enjoy watching your videos.

I love how she keeps moaning about the dirt, the smell, the looks of the old rusty gear. But then she sits down and helps and gets it done. She's exactly like the one I got at home. They could be sisters. Mine can curse in 4 languages, believe it or not.

I love the rotating intros every video, and now we have one with the Autocar. 👍🏻

Your wife is really brave in attempting to drive your big machines! She is really helping you out! It’s amazing!

She entertains your shenanigans, she's a keeper. Many others would just tell you to SOD OFF, I'm too busy for your games.

Matt, that lady of yours. She's awesome, she knows her stuff👌

Matt, I laughed so hard this morning. She's a RIOT! Please tell her that I'm a fan. Maybe put her in Christine when she's running again? Stay safe & keep her happy.

The driveway looks excellent! Your misses is priceless and very brave! My wife would flat out refuse to drive a loader! Massive Respect from New Zealand.

You're wife makes a good assistant! She's not scared to get in there and do things! Eddie

i really enjoyed this video of your wife driving! she's a great sport.

I/m sure your wife helps more than shown. It's allways good to see her helping

It would seem that the Mrs. is gaining a substantial fan base! She is an impressive lady who will get into heavy equipment and learn on the fly. Get her some gloves and then flowers and I would suggest that you put her at your side when ending these videos. You know …….. “Happy Wife equals Happy Life!” I’m fairly sure that I seen the majority of your videos and have enjoyed everyone. Thanks for taking the time to direct/produce these scenes while being deeply involved in all the work and thinking required in restoring these ole beauties.

Mr DeWalt is one tough son of a gun

Ms. Creek : You did an excellent job helping I guess your husband at this with out no one or thing hurt,good job.

When your wife is rigging the cab of an old Autocar for you- you know it's some real love Matt!

The look on your wife's face!!! Oh my friend I haven't laughed so hard in years! Thanks for sharing that! Seriously loving the Auto Car series. I'm in on the Patrion fund!

My older brother used to fix diesels; Diamond Reo, Mack, Freightliner, etc, when I was a kid.Then he went off to Vietnam.So elated when he returned.Your wife operates pretty well on that big loader!"

I like so much the fact that he doesn't coerce people to donate. He says if someone is willing to help. That is decency and common sense. Congratulations to the owner for the amazing work that he does.

“The other left”, lol! I think she did better than most women. Enjoyed the video.

Matt I love when you have you wife do stuff. She's hilarious. Cool thing about it is it doesn't look like you have to urge her to drive stuff. She looks like she is super willing to do it. You have a super cool chick. But nothing....and I mean nothing, has topped the "You are taking all my strength" bit yet while pulling that bed on your ranger. Thanks dude!!!

This car has a beautiful design and color. The turquoise color fits it like a pot lid.

Best episode yet. She's a natural! 👍
