    You never cease to amazing me! Not only do you find neat old trucks, but you usually succeed in getting them to run too! Some day I hope to find a lonely old forgotten beauty and am able to restore it. Great videos, love 'em!!! Thank you for all your hard work and time put into making these videos for us to watch.

    Makes my heart warm to heat an old KB run again. My uncle's Dad had an old hey hauler with straight pipes made from plumbing pipe.

      Most definitely, the junk they make nowadays are near impossible to work on yourself, and are more or less disposable I guess you could say. Heck most times the part along with the labor costs more than what the car is worth. Nothing today but plastic garbage underneath recycled beer cans.

      ​@@dispatch444 thats i believe people should be driving these old vehicles or fully mechanical cars instead of these new efi computers on wheels. you dont need apple car play and a massage chair and you dont need to go 200+ mph to drive a few miles down the road to work. its to go from a to b. i guess people were more humble back then and didnt need much. people these days want a literal living room to drive around in with tv screens and recliners and all kinds of other useless features.
