I must admit it hurt my heart a little to see those trucks get destroyed. Somewhere there’s a collector literally crying because he needed those parts 😩🫣🤷🏻‍♀️!! Another awesome Sparks video!!

I'm pretty sure Alan was interested in those trucks. I liked the 2nd one with the box on it.

Been in the army for 12 years as a wheeled vehicle mechanic it’s awesome to see the equipment I’ve worked on and used for so long get used in ways we are never aloud😂

I haven’t laughed so hard in such a long time when suddenly Dave is going for the ride of his life in the cab 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It hurts so much watching these old rigs just get scrapped. It would be awesome, being you have such a reach and so many followers, if you could let us all know the things you come across. And if any of us within that reach can come and harvest or save whatever is needed before its death, that would be awesome. I know someone out there is going, I've been looking for that fender or grill or whatever, for years. And in this age of being green and me hating to see our past go to waste, it would be great if y'all could start something like that. But I love seeing you guys clean up these areas no ones touched in years. I have areas near where I hunt that look identical and have been that way as long as I can remember. Wish I had the means to do what y'all are doing. Thank you guys for all you do.

i was laughing so hard when he was bouncing like that

I learned of you guys last night from my local news KEZI 9 news in Eugene Oregon. You recovered a downed plane on Mt. Jefferson. I want to thank you for helping that family in their time of sorrow and need. ive sense watched many of your videos and you've hooked me for life they are awesome. I wish my life was half as exciting as yours. Keep the videos coming!!!

Dave and his rouge excavator rollercoaster. Lord have mercy. 😅

Watching those trucks get smashed around at the beginning was painful I won't lie

Damn it broke my heart seeing that old service truck destroyed

23:05 That excavator wants to move and there ain't nobody that's going to tell it different. That machine is a dam BEAST!!! Looks really good for being that incredibly old!!! I want to say that excavator is at least 40 years old,,,, maybe older. But definitely in great shape. Seems like them machines are pretty much bulletproof as long as you keep up on basic maintenance.

This series has been more enjoyable than I expected. Looks like you fellas had a great time and got it done!

Seeing u destroy that old truck kinda hurt I bet that thing could have been refurbished. I'm talking about the old ford truck the one that looks kinda green the body didn't look that bad.

Not sure how roached out those two old trucks were but looked like a good start to an old rat rod work truck.

Sany needs to hire you for durability testing! That was nuts!

Definitely a ton of hard work, a little dramatic at times, tons of emotion. But you guys are an amazing family that basically get to play all day. Because you love what you do. Makes my heart sing watching. I wish constanly that I could come out and play with you guys. It would be amazingly life changing I would think. Its to bad my lady won't go Utah, but thats another story my friends.😉 Keep it coming and never give up, because you guys seriously change lives. You guys ROCK!!! Much LOVE and GREAT energy... Sincerely; The Captain...

The look on Dave's face when he was riding that loader like it was a bronco. You could tell he was totally fixed on what he was doing. Good job guys. Looking forward to the next video.

One mans trash is another mans treasure but it still did hurt watching those old vehicles get scrapped could of been a find for future generations. Thanks for the upload, like the series but do feel each episode could be longer but then i like watching people fix stuff lol

Someone was like F**K! I needed the front end to that 1902 truck! 😆

I love watching you're videos, they are always entertaining and I love the problem solving to get the job done. Much love and respect ✌🏻

There is nothing more terrifying than that moment when you go from being in control of the situation to being a passenger along for the ride, What a rush tho lol

It's wild how well preserved those old trucks were I know they would have just been mounds of rust up here in new England. Those frames were mint I wonder how long they were really out there

Awesome content, I'm a 360 Excavator Track & Wheeled have been operating them for 28 years and still love it to this day. enjoyed watching

I laughed so hard at Dave trying to put that damn walky in the cup holder haha, aww shit that was good, good belly laugh lmao!

So happy Allan is a normal part of the crew. He’s a real gem.

I have to agree with a few people on this one. That red truck actually had a good bit of value. Titles can be replaced. Just apply for it. Just the front clip of that truck would have sold for a nice chunk of change. Not to mention the bed. I wish I would've known that it was gonna be crushed. I would've definitely taken it off your hands

I truly don’t believe there is another company in the US thst would undertake this project AND BE ABLE TO COMPLETE IT!!! Man I love these videos!! As an Architect I LOVE seeing innovation , engineering and thought to solve a problem and today was full of it!

its honestly crazy how good of condition vehicles are in out west vs on the east half the abandoned vehicles over here just turn into metal mulch after 10-20 years

I guarantee that around here those old trucks, especially considering how little rust there was, would definitely be worth saving.

You're become like a cowboy when you was jump inside the loader HeeeHaaa.. l😂l its Really wonderful video that teamwork boys 👍😊👍

The things that you guys will do to entertain your viewers! Wow!! Great job!

I died laughing when you tried to set the walkie-talkie down 😂😭🤣 as a equipment operator I feel it 🤣 “I was panic honking” 🤣

Love that Dave is such a child at heart 24/7 great for the soul lol

Dave Bouncing In The Seat With The Cotton Eyed Joe Music Playing Had Me Laughing (Played It 3 Times)....Glad Everything Turned Out Well

Love your content guys! Always on an adventure and fixing things it's great stuff👍

Aw man. That Chevy with the work body looked like it could have been a good candidate for a sweet retrofit with a modern chassis and drivetrain. Glad you're ok though, Dave! Happy birthday to your kiddo!

Many tears will be shed over those poor trucks, 😰

Looks like you could really use a log skidder, they will go any where and pull almost any thing.

Got to say it...boys will be boys. And their toys😉😉. You guys are FANTASTIC on any of your rescues. Thanks for all you do😉

Dude, watching Dave ride that loader, my first thought was "How old do you have to be to be immune to shaken baby syndrome?" That looked rough as hell.

there is something hypnotic about watching you guys put new life into old machines. i could watch first starts all day.

I loved watching the PLS be utilized again as it is very versatile vehicle. We used them in Bosnia to great affect. Just for your information the HEMMIT was only 4 axle it did not have the rear steering that the PLS had. Great video!!

I love it, all you guys do so well cheering each other on, great guys.

I think a set of forks for your loader would be very beneficial to your operation. They would be a real time save and much safer. Love that you are cleaning up the environment! Keep up the good work.

Always hurts to see cool old trucks even in the condition of those being scrapped. I know they have no titles, and they are just going to sit and rot anyway, but it still hurts a little.

Will those machines be back in service someday? What you guys do is amazing, thank you for posting these videos!

Way to go team. And Happy Birthday to your little girl.

This episode scared the **** out of me. I had a very good friend who was driving a dozer and the brakes went out. He went over a 30+ foot embankment and broke almost every bone in his body. He never recovered and was in pain every day of the rest of his life, even after many surgeries. One day he couldn't handle the pain any longer. RIP my friend. I miss you, and so does all your family.

That editing when Dave had the bucking loader moment was so funny once it was over and edited. Putting it to cotton eye joe and the sound effects had me laughing so hard I was crying. Wished it was longer! Another great video! Thanks to all the crew!

I know all of this happened about a year ago, but I’m sitting here at home in the mountains of Tehachapi ,Ca and taking it easy today , watching these consecutive episodes of this video that you guys did and I’m enjoying the heck out of it but I’m kind of with a lot of people those two old trucks I think they could’ve been restored and you honestly should go and ask everybody , Do you want me to hang onto these if I get enough people interested in a bid on them . Thanksfor the video though it was a lot of fun , Ps , I got a lot of gratification on seeing you guys firing up that old double motor excavator that was just awesome ! In the early 70s I was a spotter on a D9 for the USFS in Saugus Ca , Texas Cyn for 1/2 a Fire Season 🤪 I’m so happy to see these older machines working You’re right, HeavyD it’s a lot of gratification isn’t it to hear them purring along at such an old age !

Some where there is a restoration guy crying about those good frames and parts he needed for his project.

“After the first 10 minutes”…geez that was violent. I did not have much orientation on how long it took to get it down but I would have jumped ship pretty fast. Loved the vlog.

9:28 is a good place to start if you dont want to see classics being hurt.

Happy birthday to ur daughter heavyD and that was scary thank god u didn’t get hurt or anyone else u make amazing content it’s always fun to see u and ur crew out there removing old equipment anyways again happy birthday to your daughter and have a great day or night 😊

Love recovery work and love the projects you all get into!

Am I the only one cringing watching those classic trucks getting smashed??? 😱😭

Hulk smash! 🤣That was a wild ride getting the K935 down the hill! Thank goodness it didn't get away from y'all. Happy birthday to your daughter, HeavyD!!

That was a heck of a wild ride when the excavator wanted to get away and you had brakes on. Thought this might be the last episode of Heavy D. Glad Daddy made it home in one piece for daughter's birthday.

Your camera men need to be acknowledged big time they did a fantastic job getting all the drama and staying safe. I really enjoy your video and this is from the land of the drop bears and a lady who is rather in stunned amazement about what you do with your boy's toys.

I'm surprised Alan didn't haul those trucks home 🤣 the fire truck looked up his alley

Man boiz you guys make some great videos! Amazing to watch you guys at work, the entire crew is solid!

I have NEVER seen anything remotely that heavy bunny hop like that 22:58! Dude has nerves of titanium!

Damn that looked like a wild ride. Glad nobody was hurt. Love the Vice Grip Garage reference at the end too .

I was one of them freaking out about those trucks being crushed. That was heart breaking. Dave you seemed like you didn't like doing it either. Oh well, next time.

Dude your a straight champ good stuff brother god bless you your family and your friends 🙏🏽

I am IN LOVE with the Oshkosh 10X10!!! I need a video jsut on its awesomeness!!! Dave can we get that down in MOAB on the trails!????? Damn! I would have LOVED that old work truck as a restoration project. 😢

You know you've been watching too much Whistlindiesel when...

“You can tell that it’s nice by the way that it is” Diesel Dave. Pure gold. I'll take 2 large T shirts.

Alll suspense filled... keeping me on the corner of my seat!

Alan: I'm the Wizard who whizzes downhill in need of an apprentice. Join me! Nate:

Y'all are entertaining, but I'm also here for the great wealth of knowledge you folks have on all sorts of feilds. I love the videos and hope you're all around for a long time. On YT and in life as well.

I’ll admit Heavy, I was a little teary eyed about those old trucks. However, anything “old” I’m addicted to, especially architecture, past eras in engineering are more appreciated nowadays.

Happy birthday to your daughter. Also that’s the fastest that excavator has ever moved. Matter of fact that any excavator has ever moved lol

All you needed was some dance music in that cab 😂

Definitely need those jockey wheels they use in quarrys. Lift the machine up and put the jockeys under and then put the bucket in the back of a truck and it becomes a trailer

Destroying that second truck wasn't necessary, that had a solid body.

Loved Diesel's Donut Operator's swag knife. And that K935 is a true beast of a machine.

The Cotton Eye Joe moment was brilliant. Kudos to the editor!

I have done some super sketchy stuff up on some steep mountains. And I must say that I was fully satisfied with how you handled the machine pulling you sideways and down that hill. Confidence is key. God bless

This might be my fav series you guys have ever done. Idk why but this shit is addicting

Hey, the editing has been much better the last few episodes. Good work people! Be well.

Dave in the cab bouncing around had me dying 🤣🤣 "I hate that it sounded like I was panick honking" lol

Amazing how pristine that planetary shaft looked

watching both of the previous videos, reloading your page and seeing the 3rd part posted 10 minutes ago definitely makes up for my bills having a bye week, best series in a while my guy

Omf gahahhah 😂😂😂😂😂 Geez that made me laugh like a crazy person when they reminded the bouncing and zoomed in to his right hand omg hahhahha

Diesel Dave making the neature walks reference at the end was pretty neat. Chefs kiss on this video. Nice job!

All I can say is this old woman enjoys the content! Once upon a time I too used to get greasy and be mechanical. Anyone who loves a challenge is in my circle. Thanks as always. Much love from SoCal!

I've been waiting for this moment all the day

I just love these guys. There so awesome. THEY NEED THERE OWN TV SHOW FOR REAL. god bless them all. 🫶🏻🙏👍

Idk if anybody watches these on there mobile phones but my s22+ plays this amazingly in full HD. I can tell it was filmed on a 4k camera. I cant wait until the next generation of screens come out because it looks fantastic already, its mind blowing how clear and how deep you can see into these videos on just a 6inch+/- screen

The 1959 Chevy Apache body with the utility box bed is a pretty cool old beast. I learned to drive in my Grandpa's 59 Apache in the 80's. Only it was a big back window fleetside. I've been trying to talk my husband into getting me one for us to rebuild for years. You don't see many with the utility boxes left. Even the fleetside boxes are hard to find.. everyone usually restores the stepsides. Oh and the International was kind of cool too.. they were probably too far gone to rebuild though..Too bad. I love seeing old trucks like that sitting out in the weeds, like a little bit of the farm's history on wheels. May not have been worth anything but still cool yard art.. LOL

Thanks for being you. Your videos are always so interesting. Love the way your boys work so well together.

I can just imagine all the restomod folks out there losing their minds watching you crush the parts they need

I couldn't stop laughing when you was bouncing up and down. dude just give up, trying to put the radio in the cubby hole and just flung it behind him lol

Alan: "Totally wizard." Awesome. He definitely has the skills to make it seem like magic.

When I saw that bit twin engine excavator running I was hoping it would some day be put back to work. Now I am not so sure.

Watching bossman trying to set the radio down whilst it was bouncing about is hilarious

Love saving monster machinery!!! Makes me want to find and rescue an old Cat dozer!

I just love watching you guys and how you get stuff done no matter what you gotta do‼️🤣🤣🤣
