ROAD TRIP to get Truck Parts, Preparing for FIRST START! 

I haven't seen a full service gas station in decades. That was nice to see again.

Thanks for Sharing your Trip for Parts and Pieces and even the Beach.

What a pleasant tour of your area. Thank you. You even introduced me (us) to some of the people you know. Again, thank you.

Beautiful country,

Nice ride , free window washing and oil check , when out the door when store owner stopped appreciate the customer here in America about 40 years ago . Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful country side,

Orange Australian Holden was next to the International. They were rebadged as Chevrolet in SA .

Neat to see the town. So much different than Americans think of when they hear Africa. Added pieces of grill/hood do a nice job of giving it a more finished look.

Awesome let's do this !! Watching from A far !! Northern California

Thanks for the trip 👍😀

Nice scenery. It's always fun for me to see other parts of the world. Yours is very nice.

what a gorgeous truck brother ,, (DODGE) honestly, don't think I've ever seen like that before ..

Thanks for the ride in town enjoyed it .Awesome place

Is that where my wine comes from? Love S.A.!

We used to have full service, service stations here in the states, when I was a kid, about 50-55 years ago now, at least. People over here have gotten lazy, technology has made people lazy, you know? I miss the good old days. Badass little truck that guy had! I used to talk with this girl over there in some South Africa city, I don't remember, what city, it was a big city, but that was about 5-6 years ago. Anyhow, nice trip buddy! The countryside there reminds me of how the hills of KY used to be. ( Kentucky)

Orange HQ 1 tonner HOLDEN MADE IN AUSTRALIA looks awesome as they do

Next to the international was a holden with a chevy badge a good old Aussie car

Nice orange HQ Holden 1 tonner

I seen the video earlier today it was good to see everything. Lots of nice views on your way to town. The guys at the gas station was a trip we don't have anyone doing that now it's been around 35 years ago I think. .🤔

Nice orange Holden one tonner Australian glory

Interesting ride thanks for the tour can’t wait for the start up

nice place bit like new zealand landscape cars & trucks the same drive on the left

Japan also have RHD vehicles, Ciao uncle

Goodman that was great 😃👍

That would be called a full service gas station. In the states that stopped back in the 1970s. There are some places that won't allow the driver to pump gas.

I love this video brother. To get to see your home land like that was great .

Such a great video! Where you live looks great. And the different vehicles than we have in the US sure are nice to see. Thanks

Beautiful country where you live man. I was in Thailand about 15 years ago, and it was a hard thing to get use to, driving in the left hand lane. It just didn't feel right. Haha

Loved the drive.

Thanks Duff for the ride and the views and are gas prices are 5 dollars or more depending on the state you are in .

Try L.A> California traffic where they have 6 lanes each way and it still takes 4 hours to drive 10 miles.

That was a really good video..custom trucks and we see the lay of the land !! Really nice

Dankjewel Div voor dit leuke ritje naar Mosselbaai, en terug, leuk om te zien! 👍😃 kijk, Nols had ook geen oranje/amber pinkers achter in zijn truck ☺😉. look, Nols also does not have any orange/Amber turningsignal lights on the back of his truck. just kidding Div, i like how you did Yours on your 1951 rat-rod truck. and You really dont want to get pulled over by the cops every day, asking you stupid questions about your lights. and i 'am beginning to understand one and another. as Your 1951 Chevy truck technically still is that '85 Nissan on title and paper so it has to meet those standards. for lights and gordel (seatbelt) for example. great video Div, love it! 👍👌

Im with you, on not liking crowded places and boring people 😂

Thanks for the ride along! I'd only seen parts of Muscle Bay through the eyes of a women motorcycle rider that rode S Africa. I really liked the 61 international don't think I'd seen one with eye brows on the front wings over the wheel opening. Looking forward to the fireup

Hey Man thanks for the ride along. I've been following along on your whole series for this Rat Truck and I gotta tell you, we may live on separate continent's but you and I have to be brothers from another mother....that of steel and rubber, iron and gasoline, rust and fiberglass....horsepower is our religion, oil is our life's blood.....and a V-8 is our holy grail. Love your channel and content and look forward to each new project. Thanks Again, R.C.

Japanese Drive on the Left Side as well...

Your driving on the wrong side of the road 😮 lol - I’m a Canadian viewer Awesome Channel 👍

Nice vid , great looking place . Take care and Build On

Cool I had to Goggle Mossel Bay to see where you are, you don't get much further south in Africa.I too hate going to the city, I live in a ghost town in SW Saskatchewan Canada with 15 other people.

Jamaica drives on the left side thay drive vary fast lol

Enjoyed the road trip ,especially liked the dodge truck ,it was like the first truck l.owned,mine was a 1942 dodge that I bought for $1 from my dad.

Thanks for the ride along ! You have some nice parts stores and shops . I was surprised to see most of the signs in English ! That was a most enjoyable video. Very cool looking trucks ! I'm with you bro on the crowds and public spaces. Was surprised to see full service gas stations! Have not been any of those around my area in decades. Also good to see Wayne wearing shoes while using his chain saw ! Thanks Again !

The old Dodge would be a 41 to 46 in the states

That custom International is a beast! I had one when I was attending college - a 1959 A100 with the stepside bed, same grill, and single headlights. Mine had an Intl 240ci inline 6 and a truck 4-speed. In our area we called trucks like that "Cornbinders" because they were for working the fields. Mine was a workhorse; not perfect but very VERY reliable. Sadly it snapped an axle when I was hauling firewood and I could not afford the repairs. Had to scrap it. Thanks for the great memories!🔥🔥🔥

Almost bought an original 1967 C10 pickup...it was nice but realized I needed more money to upgrade it. Gonna try saving a bit more before purchasing a truck.

Goeie môre Diff. As jy nog nie ñ naam gekry het vir jou 51 Chevy nie. Stel ek voor die naam MENGELMOES. Jy sit ñ klomp verskilinde parte by mekaar om ñ lekker ding te maak.

Thanks for the ride Diff, that's a nice little town for shopping it looks like but I'm with you about living away from the crowd, your parts stores look well supplied with about everything a guy would need, we have a few around here but the bigger speed parts are a longer ride to the next town or something you have to order, I love the ride by the water but didn't catch if it was the ocean or a lake, I live on a river and that's plenty of water for me, the first dodge was around a 43- 46 and the international flatbed was a late 50s to early 60s, it's hard to tell when they're built for other countries because some of the parts are old stock from earlier models, couple of great looking trucks anyway, can't wait to hear yours fire up and make a trip around your yard,, fingers crossed 🤞

I believe that international truck is a 1957

The Dodge ute was 1940_8 l think they stayed basically the same for a few years.

The reason South Africa drive on the left ls it was a British colony, like Austalia, New Zealand India and Pakistan, the, USA was as well , but due to a tecnical reason re the riders of wagon trains they changed it.

Thanks for taking us along. I haven’t been to the Southern Hemisphere, I am always intrigued by how similar, yet different things are. What do the diagonal arrows on the median signify? Thanks! Cheers from California.

I just found your channel and love what you are doing. Keep up the fun stuff

Do you have a lot of granite around the coast there? Looks very similar to southern west Australia

Awesome scenery on that coastline, it was one of ours favorite road trips when I lived at Milnerton in Cape Town, seems like some of the smaller settlements have grown bigger than I remember.

Japan drives on the wrong side of the road as well.

Really cool to get to see Africa this way, and the additional fun of seeing the two trucks was great! Thanks for sharing your road trip with us!

That was a great road trip I enjoyed it. The shops and parts houses looked well stocked and super clean way better than here. I'm on the coast of California about halfway up. I would have crashed your truck about four times lol. The people seem very friendly. Thanks for taking us along. Oh that International truck was pretty dang cool.

Japan is left side of the road

wow love the ride i was looking for old metal of course see that anvil at the parts store aint she a big one . gas at 5; 59 CENTS A GALLON around here and no service . Is Mommas truck coming before the Hudson build ???

What was that orange ute, next to the International looked like Australian HQ Holden, cool truck, have a Lekka one

Like us here in Australia, you drive on the correct side of the road, not the right side. 😉

Gave me a whole new perspective on South Africa. I had always thought of it as a place riddled with Crime, poverty, corruption, kind of like Wash D.C. Thanks. But what's with all the damn commercials every 4.5 minutes. Don't be greedy, Dif.

Something is backwards about the camera. It makes everything left and right swapped on the road.

Lekker man! That's a pretty part of SA.

you drive on the other side of the road y what is that all about johnny blaze florid

Thanks for the road trip. 👍

Fantastic video, love the hills and mountains! And so many smiling people in the shops, good stuff! Looking forward to hearing the old girl running next time around! 👍

This was an entertaining video. Thanks.

What kind of wildlife do you encounter or lives in the forest by you? Tigers, lions, apes, giraffes, elephants..... Monkeys??? Here... We could have a deer.. a moose... A bear .. bobcat... And a few others stumble thru the property. Couldn't imagine working on my shop and and elephant or a lion or an an ape.... Or a RINO... Or some other African beast show up. 😂😂☕♥️🇺🇸

Thanks for the road trip the countryside was beautiful and I loved seeing the people. Off main road it looked much like southern Ohio. The nice Dodge truck is a 39..they also made Plymouths. The International was sweet..really nice, I was surprised when he opened the hood..The H in the I H is harverster, reverting back to its farm machinery days..They also built cars called Kissels..mostly limosines and funeral coaches..Thanks again for a good video..Paul from West Virginia but living in Ohio.

So cool to see this Diff. Thanks so much for being us along with you. Can't wait to see more videos soon on this project. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

Thanks for the ride to town. Always fun to see other parts of the world. Cheers

It's 65 miles an hour areound here. Some interstates its 70 mph. Nevada didn't use to have a speed limit. I'm not sure if it is the same now. It used to be that you would %et passed like you were in reverse in Nevada at times. When I was young it was fun to break 100 mph when in Nevada at times. Nit sure if that was kegal, but there was no speed limit.

Enjoyed the video Boet!!! Was refreshing to see all the smiling faces!! Sweet truck with a that clean 350 in it. Never knew Africa had a KFC lol

It's nice there in South Africa where you live. Thanks for taking me along. It seems to be real peaceful. Nice

Absolutely beautiful place!! Thank you for taking the time to show us!!!

Absolutely fantastic. Great to see and learn about your local area. That engineering shop (as you called it) looks fantastic. I’m in the states very near New York City and there is no place with fasteners and small parts like that around me. Just big box stores and hardware stores with very limited selections… and usually out of stock on whatever I need. You’re a great tour guide in addition to all your other talents. Answered many questions just as I had them! Looks like a nice town, but I immediately felt more relaxed when you turned back into your dirt road. BTW, totally agree on shopping malls. Awful places. Just the worst. I continue to enjoy every minute of your videos, and thank you for them!

Interesting to see a orange HQ Holden 1 ton Ute . If that's what you call them over there

It was nice to see an old Holden Ute parked next to the 61 Chevy. Cheers from Australia.😊

Thanks for sharing South African Countryside Dif.

Thanks for taking us on your road trip to Mosselbaai. There is some beautiful country there. Canada switched from driving on the left to the right in 1924. I drove in Scotland in 2015 on the left and found that pretty strange, but caught on quickly. Why do some of your roads have double white lines with dashes? Midas in Canada is a muffler shop. 24.47R per L is about $5.14 for an American gallon, and about $1.88 per L or $8.58 per Imperial gallon in Canada. We are paying about $1.48 per L right now or $6.75 per Imp gallon. Thought our prices were high.

its a beautiful part of the world, I never made it that far south when I visited 15 years ago but I have missed the place since the day I left

Nice little shopping trip. Thanks for taking us along, Div. Nice to see some of your beautiful country side.

The ride was awesome it reminds me of the small towns here in eastern Pennsylvania Pocono mountains I live in the Lehigh Valley in the city of Bethlehem once the home of the BETHLEHEM STEEL CO.

Thanks Div for the road trip. Beautiful country side. Like you, I am not much about going to town. Be good and take care my friend. 👍

yo, RATT!superb !see you on my side. 🤗

South Africa is a very beautiful country.

Nice cars and nice HQ HOLDEN one tone

Thanks for the tour! I live in the mountains too and about 20km or 12miles from the coast, (thanks for always translate for us). I am not a fan of going into town either. Cheers brother

He he. I get you man. My wife is very clever and apparently there is a thing like a phobia for crowds. I definitely have it. On my lonesome in my little workshop is happy for me. I live in the United Kingdom and do most of my shopping online. I do feel for you man.

You have some cool parts and tool stores whoa they still pump gas and clean your windows, get out!!! Thanks for taking us along Sir

Great to get the tour of your part of South Africa. I spent a nice two weeks in your country some years back, look forward to returning one day. Thanks! Nice break from rusty steel.

Wow, full severe gas station ⛽, I love it . Yes one had that. Yes I am loving your country. Thanks for show us .

Love the International and the Orange HQ Holden one tonner at Crazee's. Nice part of SA Div. Looks very similar to Aus.

In North America that dodge may be 1937 to 1947 , same stampings

Had to watch this again seems I didn’t see it completely the first time I watched lol , this time I hitched a ride all the way back to the shop lol

Thanks for doing the math, I know that many of my fellow americans are either unable or unwilling to do simple math.

There are a few full service gas stations in my area but you gonna 20 cents per gallon more there, than across the road at the self service.

Hi Diff, Love & Respect Brother Really honestly enjoying your content. You took me down memory lane, back in December 1983, four families in Toyota Hi-Ace panel van, doing the Cagocaves/Oudshorn/Daisa beach Mosselbay trip. You a genius, admiral brother. God spare must come pay you a visit "Rat Rods for Africa, Forest Shop, South Africa " Love & Respect 💯%🙏
