The build is cool and all, but being that that particular truck was in such great original condition I wouldn't have touched it other than just a freshening. Should have kept it original

@mozdobrowne1390 Год назад

They didn't want it original

@zanesolsman6161 Год назад

Original is nice to look at . But that has the same look for 85% of the population and the ability to travel further and in comfort. I drove those old trucks, and the hardest part of the day was the driving

@kaleblesmeister2954 Год назад

I agree with that old fuel truck they ruined isn't going to sell if they ever sell it due to the fact it's not original anymore they could've just updated the brakes The engine but no they totally destroyed everything that was original including the engine.

@Redgolf2 Год назад

I’d prefer it as was, original

@markofthejt1995 Год назад

If they just changed the engine, adjusted the suspension and brakes to modernization... added the AC. But left everything else alone. It would of been perfect. Instead they copied the modern trucks into an oldie making it feel cheap and useless. Like a fat hooker with a slim shady tattoo.

@WS-gw5ms Год назад

What a crime. That nice originalish truck. To "smoke comin out the stacks". Front bumper is nice work though.

@ryan76936 Год назад

I was thinking the same. Why could they not get a old body and put it on a new chassis.

@soulwarrior7721 Год назад

Probably a sentimental type of thing. Its a 1953 and dad looks older than that. So maybe it was his first truck or something..

I have a 1951 I used every day even just to the grocery store . Has the Mustang super 6 . Hauled 40 foot flat bed trailer with cars to the scrap yard and mobile homes up to 12'×60' . It looks like you have a model 20 .mine is a 22 and the 24 had a cummins 220 as the top engine option . With the five speed màin and three speed ox traveling not quite on the governor was 65 top end

@MrJonnoG Год назад

Yeah, I got no problem (well, nearly no problem) with someone modding their own truck in whatever way they like, but I sure get riled when I see people wasting good parts that somebody else could have used in their restoration!

@ricardogarciavasquez6052 25 дней назад

Original estaba ermosa pero restaurada quedó uuffff de lujo

@levesquejp4964 Год назад

If that were a very poor or fair condition old truck i would be very in favor of these modification but that was a piece of history and i think it devaluated the truck…. But doni think this truck is cool of course yeah this truck has serious and good tasted mod on it ! Just for the original condition of the truck this is a bit sad to me

@micahyoung7645 Год назад

It’s not really a rare tractor that’s like a 10,000- 15,000 dollar truck

@levesquejp4964 Год назад

Maybe 15 000 but in the condition he was and the tanker at the back could cost an other 10 grand so yeah in perfect condition all restored its a shame

@mozdobrowne1390 Год назад

It's what the owners wanted.

@paulshannon4576 Год назад

blaspheme! Please save all the old parts so it can be restored. I have photos of my dad driving Mack trucks from that era. And it’s a small world because he had a run between Kansas City and East St Louis hauling fuel.

What do these 3 replies have to do with my statement? The truck is beautiful, but I don't understand why they removed the air-brakes,and put slush brakes on the tractor.

@Tom Roberts first time on the internet? I was agreeing with you and adding my thoughts as well.

@BigRig003 Год назад

It was a shame to see it cut up but at least it was done tastefully

@thespicemelange.1 Год назад

If we can't tune this up, we're going to lose a shop....

@randbaldwin Год назад

I was looking forward to seeing it drop on the airbags, especially the trailer. Did I miss it?

@jaycustom21 Год назад

Sadly, they didn't show it because it wasn't what you're thinking. It wasn't to be able to slam the truck and trailer into the weeds, the air ride was only installed to make the ride more comfortable. Not to lift and lower the truck. Watch the ending again, when they first show the finished truck. There's not even any room to lower it between the top of the tire and the wheel well.

@randbaldwin Год назад

I figured. I just wish they hadn't left the talk of dropping it for parades and shows in the video @3:59, then not doing/showing it. Cheers.

@jaycustom21 Год назад

Yea. Did you notice how Bill said something like "and drop it down a little bit" ? They don't do anything a little bit there lol. If it's made to be low it scrapes the ground. If it's got a lift, you need a ladder to get in. So I guess the air ride was actually for the quality of the ride, and you probably can drop it at most an 1" or 2" but they didn't make it that way. It's just a by product of air ride. It most likely would have been a let down had they shown the truck lower only an inch and a quarter.🤣

@randbaldwin Год назад

I'm good with it. I wouldn't want a classic rig like that to be overpimped. My point is they oversold the idea.

@bradleyforde1787 Год назад

The shows are awesome but it's hard to hang in and stay when there's a commercial every 30 seconds on the TV station. So I usually leave.

@servicetrucker5564 Год назад

At least make it where you can actually use it. And a pickup diesel isn’t exactly size for a truck that can gross 40k lbs either. Make sure to keep the air brakes too because juice brakes gonna suck at stopping all that

@servicetrucker5564 Год назад

God I finished watching it and it isn’t any different than a one ton pickup. What a waste
