    I hope and pray y’all redo this truck and bring it back to life! My daddy was in the trucking business for 30 years and this is the model trucks he had and I just lost my dad and 40 hours later my momma died so seeing this truck brings back a lot of memories! He ran 8 trucks and had one spare in case one broke down just thinking about him as I watch this! I miss them so bad already but glad they are not suffering anymore!

Redo it for years of me driving it, but run it until I have the money to really upgrade it If you or someone out there has one they would sell me at a decent price in the future I would appreciate it very much. Life happens and I am coming up from nothing now. I am 60 years old and want something special from back in the day. God bless you all and keep up the interesting videos. 🕊️😇❤️🙏🇺🇲
