    In order for the scrap pile to look better again, you have to put four new sports alloy wheels on it. The car immediately looks like new!😂😂

    Wow Brother! I wasn't concerned about the engine fire while driving, I know the 'Can-Do' Man had it under control! But it sure got my attention. I'm about to retire and I wish I had all this cool stuff to keep me busy AND entertained at the same time. Great job and keep 'em coming Brother!

    The 300 inline is in my opinion one of the greatest engines ever built. I’ve owned 3 of them and would love to find another. Low end torque for days

    I was watching you with the 79 Ford and I thought, someone bought that truck brand new and maybe even waxed it a time or two. Tough ole truck. Those 300 six’s are built proof. We had a fleet with a bunch of vans with that engine and never had any issues unless you call dropping a screw down the throat of the carb an issue. 🤷‍♂️

    Whats a truck in that condition go for up in Alaska- roughly.
    PS- l love the dry humor. And never assume that we know all the nuances in Alaska that you probably don't even pay attention to anymore. Give lots of details- on everything. And make the videos as long as you can. Cheers and keep them coming.

    It never ceases to amaze me that 4x4 trucks don't come with locking differentials standard, or at least a limited slip. Seems like common sense. You buy a 4x4 because you need to get around off road. Open diffs are absolutely useless. It should not be legal to sell any vehicle with an open diff.
