Steve walks you through every detail of the Fuel Truck! Watch till the very end to see Steve smoke the tires!! DON'T FORGET TO LIKE THIS VIDEO AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE WELDER UP CHANNEL!
Old delivery trucks and semi trucks being done up is worth it. I drive a truck and seeing old trucks running on the road is worth every penny. No one knows how hard it was back in the day when air conditioning and power everything was unheard of.
Born in 80 and I think I was born way to damn late. I love this show and I esp love this channel. Can I time travel to when everything was harder? Welder Up could you send a feller back to the late 30's? . Ya build everything else and all we are missing is a time machine. :) TY again folks.
We had a guy in our town who had one something like your truck to deliver furnace oil. Right up into the early 60's. When the truck wouldn't start, he used his fuel wagon and draft team. Specially in winter. Nothing stopped his two Belgian horsepower rig.
Steve I love this 1935 Ford fuel truck I love the look and it look so good on the road I enjoyed this video but to be honest I enjoy all your videos. I have been a big fan for many years I use to watch all your TV shows I watched you and your crew do some great builds, everytime I see you I want to beg you to build a rat rod for me, I have wanted one for many, many years its number 1 on my bucket list to own and drive my own rat rod. I'm a 65 grandmother I would love to drive my 4 grandkids in one it would be the most fun I've had in my 65 years
Thank you so much, could be the nicest compliment I have ever had. I hope you get your Rat Rod and make the best of memories with your grandkids. I have taken mine on some rides and they love it. Thanks for watching!
When you turned the corner a that small burst of black smoke came out,it looked so sinister and ominous on the road alone,very impressive Steve,keep up the great work.love the channel
That's a beautiful thing indeed. Used to help my father when the tankers came to his garage. The tanker had the same baffle system. Had to climb up and would do the dipstick dipstick-ing as the fuel was delivered. The dipstick were all made of hardwood to stop static blowing up the vapours. The divisions were in 100 litre increments this was in the late 70's and in England. The pumps still delivered in gallons for a time. Thanks. Be well and stay safe. UK.

Martin in South Ga!!!
Steve , I absolutely love your passion and attention to all the details in all these old trucks. I’ve been driving a gas truck for 27 years and my grandfather drove a gas truck back in the 40s 50s and 60s here in Louisiana. Keep bringing these old trucks and cars back to life brother!!
I don't know if you will see this, but some of the old speedometer cables could be removed from their housings and greased. I've had 1940s vintage vehicles that I was able to dampen the speedometer bounce with a liberal coat of white grease on the cable. Love the truck, although I'm not that old yet, it does bring back memories of some of the old cars I had in the 60's. Great videos!
I love an old ford when i lived in Alaska we had a old fuel truck come by once a month to fill our diesel tanks i always ran up and watched the guy pump the the diesel
As a kid in central utah in the late 70s early 80s we still had a furnace that used fuel oil. The guy who delivered (Wayne Beckstrom) it had a truck that looked just like this one. The last time I went threw town it was still there
I love seeing older trucks on the road. I like seeing that black smoke pour out those stacks.... Reminds me of old school h series cats they were out of the sixtys... Cool old ride love it.
I took a saginaw power assist system for power steering on the old ford (35) fire truck we had. I kept it original and it was lucky to get to a fire and help mop the building up clean cause the building burnt to the ground before the truck could get there/LOL. The lever on the transmission on this truck, was the lever that you lifted to get into reverse. It had a vacuum lever on the dash to shift the two speed and a lot of times it never went in before you needed a lower gear to make the hill or maintain speed which was about thirty five to a blinding speed downhill of say forty two or three mph. I put a electric motor on the steering as there was no room on the front to hang anything. It mounted to the steering system on the main drag link and a shock style on the tie rod end so it pushed or pulled depending on how that valve felt the pressure shift to the right or left. Everything had to be maintained well, cause any slack in it made the truck wander between the ditch lines BAD! All over the road but if thing were tight then great Nice old rig that you have and the cans in the back was what they pumped into and charged to you by as well, a price of twenty to forty cents per gallon as I didn't see the fuel pump meter there but again I don't see for sh*t! great video!
Great looking truck, Steve! Thank you so much for not painting clear gloss over the patina. I've never understood why you did that. How can patina be glossy? 🤔
You're exactly right that's a piece of History truck it's a badass truck does it mean you have to do a hundred and twenty in it it's a piece of history and you brought it alive brother keep up the awesome work diesel on!!
Gotta respect a team that consistantly outdoes themselves time and again . This is one of the best you guys have built yey in my opinion im a ford guy anyway but this thing is sick👍👍
You just described my grandfather and showed his truck except the part about the PTO and the fuel pump. That didn't come until later. It may have had a small engine powered pump.
Brilliant oil truck Steve loving it man I think I seen you build this truck for a client of yours or is it the same truck!! Love the colours and faded paint it’s totally gorgeous tru out!! I really think this is one of the coolest trucks on your channel Steve It has a very famous name on it Union fuels and supplies etc etc etc Tommy and his wife Tiffany got another truck done by you as well would love to see it these days chassis’s and cab but a very cool truck !! Love the channel Steve and I hope you’re doing well man!! Your one of the hardest worker’s I’ve ever seen in a very long time!!!!
Brother you will go down as one of the coolest dudes that has ever been on TV man 👊👊 you can be funny as hell but how damn knowledgeable you are about every damn thing blows me away one of the coolest brothers ever👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
LoL..cig liter in a fuel truck and will bet they fired up while driving.. that's why they needed the extinguisher in the cab arms reach from the driver's seat... drove a 2 1/2 ton international flat bed with tools, telephone,power or fiber optic materials depending on the job and I towed a 3 axel equipment trailer w/ a case 580k backhoe ...later on we put 2 500 gal water tanks and pulled a direction boring machine all with that cumins 4 cyl...great work horses.
Absolutely beautiful! I am restoring a 1950 Dodge Power Wagon (shameless plug for my videos). The flying Pegasus on the back! I remember back in the 1960’s there was Pegasus “clown car” made for parades, I hope somebody finds it and restores it,
"Chrome " back in the day was actually a Nickel plating process. Modern chrome was a later evolution.So I have been told. I cannot recall the source at this time. Nice to one in working style, not do not dare scratch it condition.
loaded fuels at top ,then pumped it out at back and they had pumps with meters they set the price and thier was a printer to make the receipts im 64 yea0rs old and alwas watched the man unload bye now like your vidieos .
Funny thing, I love the RU-vid videos better than the cable show! Great truck, would love to see the fuel tank(s) turned into cargo/bike hauler space inside while retaining the original look outside.
Actually the Ford who pushed the styling forward in the '30s was Edsel. Son was not like father. Henry was famous for his 'just leave it alone because it works' attitude. Edsel was the style leader. Henry didn't even want to end the Model T but Edsel saw how the competition was leaving them in the dust. He had already overseen the styling of the Lincolns of the late '20s and saw how the Model A could incorporate similar design features. Thus the Model A was a huge hit. It was very much Henry's mind that gave us the advanced mechanical innovations like the flathead but his boy was the one who made the Fords were pretty.
Another one supposedly built for a customer, and it now lives with Steve. Were all of the customers on the TV show fake? I notice most of the cars end up in Steve's show room regardless, so it just seems that way. Not like we don't love the builds, and the show, but just seems odd. Also, is there going to be a season 5?
