In case you missed it we finished up the 2018 F350 rebuild. I don't think that video got sent out

Do a prime theme
Love that sound Autobots roll out
I'll buy it when it's done .....
Westin it was wrecked 7/31/19 all the info is online about the truck and his company. Looks like the 2nd one hes wrecked.
"1998, the same year I was born"
F.......... I'm old.
Your mechanical knowledge at 21 is just incredible, and you are an unbelievable, creative talent.
@debbiekonkin5768 does this reply make you feel better? There is no need to use your self hatred on other people.
Guy is 21 years old and has more real world, usable knowledge than most people will have in a lifetime.
That's a fact !!!
No kidding, this guys smart enough to be a millionaire in the next 15 years, and he didn't even waste his money on college!
BigGary79 I’m 19 and I don’t go do stupid shit because I rather be chasing my dreams then doing something stupid getting arrested while in jail I won’t be able to chase my dreams in jail
he,s not the only one like that . A lot of truck drivers are like that . problem today is that to many poeple do it for the paycheck not the passion anymore
huh
I’m a 22 year old truck driver and I honestly thought this guy was way older than me nope turns out he’s 21
You got started nice and young then. Hope it's going well for you. I'm 33 and just recently finally got my CDL and been driving regional 4 almost 5 months.
Holy shit Westen you’re only 21!? That makes your videos and the things you know even more impressive. Keep up the good work!!
Crazy how much your channel has grown. I remember watching you at 500 subs and knowing you’d blow up fast. Keep it up!
Ya, its pretty crazy!
Weston makes my day every time he posts. Without a doubt, he is my favorite RUclipsr.
He's on up there
“Why I’m taking back roads” because you don’t have a class A license lol.
Only need a class b with air brakes endorse for tractor🙃
You dont need either if its not registered as a commercial vehicle.
@@tylerbonser7686 Hi from the UK. Regarding to your comment!! In America You can drive a large truck with only holding a basic car driving license as long as it is not registered as a commercial vehicle?
Since 1997 anyone passing a driving test to drive a car in the uk can legally drive vehicles weighing the maximum weight of 3.5 tons. If we wish to drive any vehicles weighing more than 3.5tons then we have to take a Heavy goods vehicle test. Even if the vehicle is not registered for commercial use.
@@ivecodaddy4817 yes. In the USA anyone who passes a drivers test can drive something up to 13 tons. However if it is a recreational vehicle like a motorhome, camper or if its for farm use you dont need a different license. Didn't know that about the UK with that low of a weight restriction. I wish it was harder for people to get a license here. So many bad drivers
That Pete is a great find...hope that you’re able to repair all the damage and get her looking like she should.🥰Keep us posted!
Dude is 21 talking about when he was a kid 😂 aaah I’m old
I still wear shirts from 1998.
Shit, 98 i was outta school a couple years already. Damn i feel old
I have underwear older than him.
@@chiefgecko I just fixed up my steel toe work boots from 1998! Damn he makes me feel old...
I was thinking the same thing!.
I TOLD YOU GUYS IT WAS BIG!!!:)
Where do you find all of these wonderful things lol
Lol
You know the best part about owning that pete is you guys can get bigger projects that Clifford cant tow
@Westen Champlin ,
Thanks! This is going to be interesting. I will be very interested in how much the whole project will cost. My son in law is a trucker and wants to start his own company.
Hit up Greg A see if he still has that unibilt sleeper
DOT officer: Is this thing legal?
West: Course not. I am going to rebuild it on RUclips.
Officer: COOL!
Minority car passes by....
Officer: turn down music.
Black guy: what
Black guy funeral.
The end
“Beyoncé I’m talkin bout my Peterbilt, I don’t got time for ya!”
Best line in the whole vid, lets be honest
My peter.... bilt 😂
Westen’s famous saying
“It looks brand new”
Love it lol
But he didn't professionally catalog the adjustable tip
@@markmooney4770 Maybe he did off camera
@@markmooney4770 "expertly cataloged"
yeah but the frame is bent . why do you think there was a block under the drivers front wheel ? to prevent the frame from twisting elsewhere by the weight over time
@@guytremblay1647 Doesn't mean he can't fix that too
Im glad to see you found the engine for the mustang build!!
😂😂😂
guitarguy1995 18 speed mustang
Alex Gavin YESSIR!!
Westen, I love that Pete! I used to dive a really old one in the 70s for a guy hauling grain. What fun I had for a couple years! I am now 66 and retired! I would love to go back to driving!
"i swear, officer, im just driving it to a trailer"
"Wheres the trailer at?"
"my house".
Wtf lol.
“There’s a reason why we’re taking the back roads”
Me: to avoid cops?
Wonder if ol' Weston is licensed to even drive that?
Ryan Williams you don’t need no stinking licensee lol
U don't need no freaken cdl to drive that peterbuilt its just a thing that lets the gov know that u can drive that.
@@jeffersonmoctezuma3733 please don't say that I've seen dumbass tow big ass toyhaulers with tundras and there tundras being pushed when there breaking because of the weight of the toy hauler there is a reason why certain licence don't let you drive certain weights
@@hihaveaniceday9386 and our government suck ass award goes to (drumb roll...) YOU !
9:14 you can’t deny it Westen looks like a trucker
He looks like he was born for that seat
Next video will be Westen the Road Hammer
Yep he do😊
ha ha yes your right
He does look like a truck driver
I am no longer a truck driver(thank god after 24 years of it), but train engineer now. I always enjoy seeing a real nice tractor, and hope you post a video highlighting work you do, and of course the final results. Love the color too, I hope you stick with the same blue.
I just started watching your videos when you started the Peterbilt. Now i watch your videos all the time. I enjoy them, you have a good sense of humor.
"I'm sure you guys are wondering why we are taking so many dirt roads"
Me: ya because you have no insurance and theres no state troopers haha
Makayla Meier no cops no stops lol
No DOT
I've always been pulled over more on a dirt road then main highways, although in Texas backroading and partying are pretty known for here.
@@stephenadams5293 up
😂😂😂😂🤣
When Beyoncé see's Weston in his new Peterbilt she's gonna drop Jay Z like a hot potato.
Dude I think she did that years ago I'm pretty sure divorce Beyonce comes with most of Jay Z s***
Lil*Rip idrk much about music artist and such, but this is golden 🤣💀
Jay-z can buy peterbuilt the company
massive respect to this guy for his passion
Being a driver myself, it's nice to see such a great truck being saved
My God, how have you gained so much knowledge at your young age? I am impressed
Nice find! Can't wait to see it in the works and done!
Great sense of humor!! And optimism. Awesome. Thanks!
Cleetus reference noted...
12:45 me pulling into los santos customs
Can’t wait to see it done. I have a 94’ 379 Peterbilt,I work it every day hauling a chemical tank. I’ve owned it for 20 + years. Wouldn’t trade it .Your gonna have so much fun redoing the Pete.
14:43 your truck did a little happy dance!🤣 I'm home!!🤣👍👍 good video
I remember this channel when it was at 15k subs. I can’t believe it’s already at 270k! Keep up the good work!
Cant wait to see this beauty when shes finished, you guys do amazing jobs at things like this, cant wait to see her at 100%
I like this kind of trucks since i was a kid. The sound, the look, the name and the power.
I'm the son of a Road Train driver and I love watching this. This guy gets the beauty of trucks. One of my favorite trucks is actually the Kenworth T909. Beautiful hard working girl that hauls hard. At my Dads work we have an old Kenworth cabover that was made back in the early 60s. Rusty as Shit but it just won't die
Westen.... your enthusiasm is infectious. I can't wait to see your next upload. You are never boring.
Imagine a parrellel universe where westen does one project at a time and actually finishes them ahaha
username 321 always waiting on parts lol
The upload before this we finished off the f250.
@@WestenChamplin Get 10 peeps together there's always gonna be one Ass Hole, get a hundred there will be 10... Is any truck project ever really finished??? Love your Channel Westen!
That's gonna be a beast when it's done looks like the beef moved on a corner and he slapped the driver side hard... Great vid 👍
Thats the truth they don't stop in a pound coin and give u change back people need to be more careful hopefully the driver is ok 👍🏻
That is the coolest shit man! Maybe when I'm finally ready to buy a truck I'll just get a wrecked one to fix up for dirt cheap.
I didn’t think he was serious when he said the next project was gonna be big in the last video
Edit: Damn 143 likes thanks!
Finally a real truck, can’t wait to see when it’s done.
Sir: I do not know anything about simi trucks but I am very glad you were able to acquire something in life that made you that happy. I am confident you will enjoy rebuilding this truck and wind up with a truck you can really be proud of. U.S. Army, Ret. Texas
You are hilarious, definitely going to be binge watching these videos!
Well I was watching someone else but I like rebuild videos and peterbilts so I switched over promptly
Starts watching Westen's videos
"Bad ass he buys old stuff like I do"
"Dang he doesn't work to far from me"
*Buys wrecked Pete *
"This is the most badass channel on the tube. "
I graduated high school the year you were born lol.
that makes you 23 when i was born
You make me grin with your happy attitude..stay excited and happy
Westen I love your vlogs! Absolutely down to earth & great content
The entire first 5 mins i was like "use a saws-all to cut the exhaust tip off" and then when you finally did i was like "yessss, thank you" lol. Nice video as always 🤙
You guys keep doing what you're doing it's awesome it is pure Un-Hollywood fun.
RUclips brought me here. I had a laugh when he mentioned the 389. I saved and saved for my 389. I haul grain. Sure overkill but I love it. It is a pure Cadillac. Definitely a classic
Westin, your my new best friend! I was an OTR Truck Driver and my truck was a 1998 Pete 379. I loved that truck and saw most of this great country from behind her windshield. I can't wait to see you restore this classic. You've got my subscription.
Found your channel awhile back, and I’m enjoying every episode that comes out. Keep it up.
Glad you found us!!!
I have been watching for a while now also great content no drama i myself buy beat up stuff on the cheap and fix them up and make good money reselling them.
@@WestenChamplin hi
Love this guys personality!
This made me so happy watching this.
Love the 'Pete !! This is by far the coolest thing you've ever brought home. I wanna see a series on this rig !
Agreed
Yes!
First Whistlin and now Westen?! I'm in heaven LOL
Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt. Excellent video. ♡ T.E.N.
Lmbo, dude had me cracking up! 1200 DONKEY POWER! I love your enthusiasm!
Im guessing you took backroads to avoid dot.
2:07 go go juice... LMAO, best colloquial name ever for it!
Yeah dat was cool im such a square all i say is starter fluid
Meanwhile over in the UK we call it jungle juice too
And in other circles nitrous is called that
Peterbilt is the best in te3chnology and design!!!! All love !!!!
Fair play to you for taking on this challenge. Wish you luck with it. All the best.
This brings back the memories of my dad’s Pete. I think it was just a couple years newer and it was a beautiful burnt orange but it had a 15 speed.
Hey Westen
You honestly make my day with these videos lol
Keep it up!
I drove that same model '04 Pete with 475 Cat, and an 18 spd. Loved that truck. Really looking forward to seeing more about this truck.
Awsome truck !! Cant wait to see it when its done.
OMG!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE PROGRESS OF THAT BIG RIG!!!! I love the look of those Peterbilts!!!! Bet Beyonce is excited as hell 😁
"This truck came out if the factory in 1998, the same year I was born!"
**I immediately feel old...**
canned laughter this comment makes me feel old
Despiser Despised you old fucks are annoying
Russell Gerdes never was a smart ass it’s just annoying how you constantly judge us and assume. things change with every generation and you guys can’t seem to accept that
@@quancast1141 Holy shit. Let me start with the fact that I am a millennial, so you can chuck that prepared reply out the window.
You know what my generation broke? A fucking sense of humor. Calm your shit and stop trying to blame you bullshit on a previous generation you precious snowflake. How about you check your and our generation's shortcomings before you criticized generations that created the comfort we enjoy.
canned laughter did you even read what I wrote when did I ever Blame anyone else I get that our generation is filled with idiots and snow flakes. My point was that boomers are always talking shit about our generation as if things don’t change with every generation. What are you talking about 🤣
Love your channel, keep it up dude.
Love the 1999 Peterbilt 379 they are the Gold of the semi world great vid westen keep making the The cat pur like she is supposed to even if you need catnip
Your funny as hell!! You literally make my day 😂👌🏼 loving the truck
Your going to need a trailer too, a heavy low-boy, to haul around that Cat dozer you are fixin' up.
Had to subscribe and smashed the like. Ain't nothing better than down home Red blooded Truck loving American Brotherhood having a great time doing what they love. Thank you for sharing.
Loud and clear good buddy
Take sleeper off remove 5th wheel and add flat bed for going to auctions
Craig Pants ; Canadian viewer.... what a great idea...that would be something!
That thing would make one hell of a pretty rollback!
Yeah, cuz it's already rolled once.lol
In my world it would become either a dump or log truck .
Kind of a waste at that frame length. Now if they did a frame stretch...
“She’ll be better than brand new!” -Maru ‘Planes: Fire-Rescue’
Westen is real life Maru :)
Looking at the camera and be like “ahh excuse me”. 😂😂 Guy is naturally funny.
Your videos are so good dude keep it up!
5:58 exhaust circumcision
Mazel tov!
drinking game: take a shot everytime Westen gets a new project
That much could kill ya
Liver cancer
Can’t wait to see the progress on the Blue Peterbilt!
Great watching some “old school” Westen.
I think that’s Optimus Prime... 😧
Try to save him please.
Optimus was originally based on a 1970's Freightliner FL86
Venturi Life He’s talking about Optimus from the Micheal Bay movies which is a 379
"Hey that's an adjustable tip" (hits ground) "professionally cataloged"
Great, hope to see it when it is finished. Old truck drivers never die, they just get their Peterbuilt.
awsome video westen the semi will be super handy for sure once shes all fixed up thumbs up nd shared
Hey Westen you weren't grinding gears you were just cleaning them teeth, love the new project and you'll be able to bring the D7 home now all by you self👍
Um driving the back roads in case you breakdown no!!!! Staying clear of the blue lights
Can't wait for next episode of this. I love videos like this just because I have no place to even fix my Fiat Scudo 2004 van :) hehe...
You crack my up no matter how bad it is every time you say it's not that bad. Best way to look at it rite.
Something I learned this video: Weston is younger than me. Another thing I learned this video: I'm very sad that I can't grow a beard that magnificent.
Sees Weston post a Video “Clickkk”
benjamn maravilla right
Same
wow....a new life...a new owner.....and a good home
that is a sexy truck wooo i cant wait to see it all fixed up with shiny chrome gonna look wicked sick
