That rat truck would be a good candidate for a snowblower rig. Drop a 2 stroke diesel engine engine in the front of the cab and get an old snowblower attachment from a 3 point hitch. Mount The snowblower on a new hydraulic lift mechanism or repair the one that is on it. Make a small drive shaft run it from the pto of the blower and connect it to the directly to the engine. Use some old iron and put it on the back of the rig. Lastly, strap some tire chains on, and you will have a snowblower rig to move the snow in your scrap yard. I don't know if you get snow down your neck of woods? Would be perfect for up here in the East Coast of Canada.

I bought a 1968 caprice once I believe it was and had a 327 in it and turns out was a special addition that was built in Canada across the river in Detroit. Had 202 double hump heads everything you could ever want in a motor. I rebuilt it change a few things and put in a 1978 Monte Carlo and was a very fast car !

The Mad max contraption looks super cool! You should either do it up as a snowblower as someone mentioned or you should pull the bucket assembly off. Who knows, maybe someone will want the hydraulics for a project.

Frankenstein with the bucket is excellent! Turn it into the Happy Hooker🪝😮. Kind of a tow truck in reverse. That way you can see when you are pushing things backwards. He could use it for Yankee engines out lifting heavy items such as the rear axle assembly. I'm sorry that you took out the tailgate on your truck with the trailer. We see that quite a bit you can get one with a drop in the middle . Whoever put that together created a work of art.

The Sears eight track looks like the one I got in 1972 for the 62 Chevy I got for $100 right after I got my drivers license. That and some 6x9s in the package tray and I was stylin- but I didn’t have tapes. A buddy lent me his “Who’s Next” until I could get some. As a rat rodder I would remove the bucket and hydraulics and build it into a street legal Fury Road bomb

A lot of cool ways you could go on the Loader rig. I like the Mad Max idea. As far as the "you don't care about saving cars crowd", they are out of touch with reality, looks to me like you save a lot of them! Some people don't get that if you want something classic, you got to be willing to step up and put your money down! I for one am happy to see how many you find new homes for. Keep up the good work, love the channel.

How about saying the date when you first start the video. Just so we know the difference in the weather and the type of day that you are having compared to what we having at the time. Just something interesting to compare with your videos. Noticing how windy and how much rain you get where are compared to Wichita. I used to have one of those Coca-Cola lights into a lost it in an apartment fire. I was curious if you still had it and wanted to get rid of it

If you still have those Grumman van emblems, I'm sure if you contacted Hannah & Corey Wheat, they would most likely want them. If you look up some of their recent videos, they're rebuilding one. 14:45 The fact that those numbers have been deliberately removed from the front of that engine should be of concern. That's actually often a pretty good indicator that the engine has been stolen. 20:00 If I had some $$$$, I would want to buy that very strange truck, thing, whatever it is, without the bucket. I think it would make for a wicked one of a kind rat rod.
