Good work James. She’s looking like a million bucks. Probably feels like that’s how much you’ve got into her, but she’s worth the time, effort and coins. Keep up the good work and enjoy what you’re doing.
Great video James glad to see Krystal all back together and sounds great running down the road. Looking forward to your next video stay safe James and Jessica.
I owned a W model that came with the same suspension. We used to have a big truck spring shop near here in Youngstown, Oh called EMCH Spring, and they would remove and replace both left and right rocker and have you out the door in less than 2 hours. Way back in the late 1960 s, they had an old fashioned pop machine full of beer that you got free while waiting. They even could make any spring(including coil) while you waited.
Coming along very nicely Mr Pretty 😉💪 Now all you could use is a sandblasting area to clean & repaint that frame up sir. Everything takes time, of course. Some nice 👍 awesome projects to always keep ya busy.
Sorry James but I had to laugh 😜when I knew you were ok from your PRETTY spring board half gainer with a twist !, man she is looking awesome! You are one hard worker ! Great work man 🇺🇸🇨🇦👍👍
Not seen the struggle bus take you to so many destinations in one trip. Hell's Fire was pretty good, but the favourite has to be the sudden surprise amusement park ride. Different blue, different side - what the heck, they both look great.
Hi James and Jessica took a bit of heat to get that apart and the big air wrench too. But on the bright side now it’s done and shouldn’t be a worry for a long time. Boy Krystal sounds great looking better every day. Did you ever get that pin out? It’s funny how the paint cans work color wise I’ve had the same thing. Get three cans and they say they’re the same color then the last one you can see the difference. Was wondering who was filming then realized had to be Jessica. Stay safe guys
Mornin James. Along with all the capital invested you sure have a lot of sweat equity invested in your trucks ! You're getting there slowly but surely !
Morning James I new you would get the suspension done I always loved the way that suspension road and worked but I never liked having to work on it it seemed like it took forever to get anything done on it keep up the good work brother and I'll keep watching love what you are doing
Are you feeling better now I hope so brother You went down. There a little brother the truck looks so good. Good job man keep up the good good work safe travels on the airplane, captain
Good show brother you’ve done an amazing job on this old girl I’m really happy to see you make this kinda progress. I enjoyed the video as I do all of them. Cheers brother
Hey James, Please hold those drive punches with vice grips or something to protect those hands. Wouldn't want to ruin them so you cant fly the 747. Have a great day. Bill
Those rocker box pins are sure hard to get out did couple lots them my last kenworth had been done with new rocker boxs and pins which was good . Now have move it on walked away from trucks now
James Pretty, i was just now thinking that you should get a blow up spray booth. like the one that tim gentry has to do your trucks with and some more anti seize compound too.?
James, I’ve gotta say that when you slipped & busted your butt,…that’s about the way my luck 🍀 would go when working on that too sir. Luckily it wasn’t worse for you either. Keep up the awesome 👏 work 💪 Enjoying every one of your videos sir
@JamesPretty ok, I just wondered - why go thru all of the trouble to repair that set up? Why not do a cut off and put air ride on it? The truck is so nice , I think it's screaming for air ride. Also, I don't know how much experience you have with new tires, but new tires will feel "greasy" going down the road until they get broken in so if that rear end feels like its walking around on ya, then that's probably why. I put a cheaper set of Chinese drives on one of my trucks and it they had that greasy feeling going diwn the road for about the first 75,000 miles on them.
@@hankhill3263 initially I liked the wheelbase then after riding in chads blue truck I realized the reyco spring ride actually rides as good as most of my air rides. So I decided to keep It
@JamesPretty ohhh ok, to be honest I haven't driven maby spring ride trucks, just ride in akit when I was a kid and remember getting beat to death LOL, dies the rear end feel greasy with them new tires?
@@JamesPretty I had to look up what feelings was… don’t get the concept of them… my dad was a Korean War veteran! So I never had any of those things… he would always say suck it up and be a damn man! lol
Awesome work on the Kenworth Cabover 'Krystal' rebush, James!
Thank you
Krystal is on the way to being a show girl !! I can't wait to see you rolling down the road in her & going to shows.

Rite on. I love the surprise ride lol

Thx bro
@@JamesPretty James you pour your heart and soul into your work and it really shows !
Holy moly that turbo wine is loud! Or it's just the cam. Looks good James, sounds good too.
It’s because I don’t have an air cleaner. Just a long tube
@@JamesPretty that explains it. I spaced off that you haven't put the snorkel and related on. LOL
Great video James crystals really going to be sharp
Thx rod
The trucks are starting to look really good James.

Thx bro
great job man!!
Thx bro
Good job
Thank you
Krystal is looking awesome James. Nice work. Do you have a boost leak? There's a little bit too much of a turbo whistle I think but I could be wrong.
It’s because there’s only a straight pipe on the intake. No air cleaners yet
Hey James, Please hold those drive punches with vice grips or something to protect those hands. Wouldn't want to ruin them so you cant fly the 747. Have a great day. Bill
Ya that’s probably a good idea. I’ve smashed and splashed my hands a bunch it’s not pleasant
Those rocker box pins are sure hard to get out did couple lots them my last kenworth had been done with new rocker boxs and pins which was good . Now have move it on walked away from trucks now
Ya they were hell. But it’s over now on this one at least. Appreciate ya
Sounds real healthy
It does for sure. I like it
all good
Appreciate ya
sling sum paint on the frame and coilover springs james you would soon get it done mick uk
Thx brother
James Pretty, i was just now thinking that you should get a blow up spray booth. like the one that tim gentry has to do your trucks with.?
I'd have to get a sand blaster
It’s in the plan eventually
Nice KW - gotta love the old iron. Most definitely a (Pretty) truck.
Thx bro
James Pretty, i was just now thinking that you should get a blow up spray booth. like the one that tim gentry has to do your trucks with and some more anti seize compound too.?
Ya it would be handy. I hate paint and body tho
Wow James she sounds amazing.really looking better and better .do you have a fuel tank for the passenger side bud
Not yet looking for a specific dated tank
She is looking good
Thx brother
Man she looks good
Thx brother
Boy is she a looker awesome
Thx bro
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Sacré travail ⚒ 😉 👍. Respect.
Thx Alain
@@JamesPretty 😉 👍 🚛
Good evening
What’s up bro
looks great. sounds great. what's not to like?
Agreed
They make a protector insert for the socket
Oh I had no idea
most of those old trucks the equalizer had grease zerts in them, 36 inch prybar works a million times better than that shovel.
For tires? I’ve not found anything that beats the shovel
where do you get your studs and lugnuts for bud wheels at ?
Fleetpride
James, I’ve gotta say that when you slipped & busted your butt,…that’s about the way my luck 🍀 would go when working on that too sir. Luckily it wasn’t worse for you either. Keep up the awesome 👏 work 💪 Enjoying every one of your videos sir
Always hurts to hit the ground but ya just get back up and dust yourself off
True that.
Are those heavier duty springs or just like standard 34,000 lb springs?
They look a bit stouter than 34k but I can’t be sure
@JamesPretty ok, I just wondered - why go thru all of the trouble to repair that set up? Why not do a cut off and put air ride on it? The truck is so nice , I think it's screaming for air ride.

@JamesPretty ohhh ok, to be honest I haven't driven maby spring ride trucks, just ride in akit when I was a kid and remember getting beat to death LOL, dies the rear end feel greasy with them new tires?
U adding chrome on crystal from super wings?
Likely
Looking great 👍 twin stacks will finish her off nicely. Sorry not a fan of the mud flaps . A
Will be getting twins
A nice 24 oz steak will hit the spot after all that banging prying and tumbling!
Haha always
Hey buddy what's the WB on Krystal?
Off hand I can’t remember I’ll measure it up
@@JamesPretty no worries brother. I was just wondering cause for being factory she looks good at that length
You O.K. Fam.
Yep I’m alright hbu
I'm doing well.
So appreciate for asking.
But it's your truck
✌
Thx for watching
Oops
Бывает...
Just my opinion but a metal flake sail blue would be the s$it!!!
Btw who taught you to wield?
Hmm. I can’t remember who taught me maybe my brother I’ve forgotten most things I’ve learned about it because I don’t do it enough to stay sharp
@@JamesPretty I was going to say you needed a refund but it might hurt your feeling… lol what color is that blue?
@@Thedropshopkustoms it’s just ace hardware brand rusty metal paint blue. It’s the best paint I’ve found for rusty metal
@@Thedropshopkustoms lol can’t hurt my feelings bro. My dad was a marine. I don’t have those types of feelings.
@@JamesPretty I had to look up what feelings was… don’t get the concept of them… my dad was a Korean War veteran! So I never had any of those things… he would always say suck it up and be a damn man! lol
Your yard is getting full there what are you going to do about it
I’m trying to sell. Just no buyers
You're not a very good cowboy James
Hahaha shoulda learned to rope and ride
