    Ugh. Always get people interfering with nothing to do with them.
    1. Truck saved
    2. Previous owners widow happy truck saved and gone
    3. Guy saved the truck happy
    4. New owner happy.
    If you are none of the above then your opinion means shit. Well done on saving it guys and great it's found a good home too. Loved the plaque.

    I loved that truck rescue video, I've watched it several times. To know it's new owner is going to put that old horse back in service is amazing. I know this might sound really strange, but there's something "life like" about that old truck, how it just seemed to want to crawl out of its grave and get back to work, I don't know how else to explain it. Thanks for the original video, and this one, I'm just glad to know that old horse is in the barn and getting ready to go out for a run... A long run.

    Please don't feel like you have to justify your decision to sell the truck. Hat's off to you for recognizing what was best for the truck. You did your part by saving it and making a video of it to get the word out. Sounds like it's going to a great home and how cool that it will get a second life out there on the road. Thanks for keeping us in the loop and I look forward to seeing updates on the KW you are working on.

    Well, I am glad that truck is going to a better home, is going to be restored to its former glory and be back in the trucking service. It was the one the most badass looking semis I've ever seen. Peterbilt trucks are awesome and are built to last. 😀

  • @Johnnywhamo
    @Johnnywhamo 5 лет назад +1

    I'm not even a Trucker but I love these old rigs. I was 13 in 1977 so this reminds me of Smokey and the Bandit as well as sitting on the road waiting for the bus and giving the "blow your horn" pull to every truck that passed by.

    @whitefam2000 5 лет назад +4

    You can be happy that you were able to give it a second chance. I'm the same way. bought a 53 4400 chev flatbed and it sat for a couple years, and just worried me silly till a friend of mine came and said they had a use for it and would finish restoring it. I gave him the truck, cause he's not made of money either, and he's got it going as a hay truck for his horses.

  • @grahamhowland566
    @grahamhowland566 5 лет назад +4

    Great to hear that it’s going back on the road I’m a fan of preserving these historical vehicles but they were built to work not sit at shows or in museums that’s why my 1962 fordson tractor still gets used whenever I get the chance and if I happen to add a new scratch or dent while doing so then I won’t be too worried as in my opinion that’s what it was meant for 👍🏻

    @crushingvanessa3277 5 лет назад +4

    I have no problem with what happened, just a fan. It's at a good home obviously. I'll take a look at the two other channels you mentioned. I'm a greenie but I don't have a problem with these older diesels. I understand the differences from the new to the old. The ones that should be targeted are the ones who have to drive two blocks when they could just walk or bike.These trucks have a purpose, to me that's the difference.

  • @screamingreaper6054
    @screamingreaper6054 5 лет назад +2

    Glad to see it go to a good home! Just got through restoring a day cab 359 just like this one. It ran and drove the day we got it no problems only sat a year. Going to be a grain hauler for our farm. Unfournatetly it's not a twin stick just a 13 speed. This 359 I restored needed way less work then that one.

  • @chrisj197438
    @chrisj197438 5 лет назад

    You don’t have to explain anything. You saved the truck and found it a good home. The people who would complain probably follow RUclipsrs who have access to “daddy’s money” and do whatever they want to a truck. You are an average guy like the rest of us. Thank you for saving this piece of America’s trucking history.

  • @MY2NDM3
    @MY2NDM3 4 года назад +1

    Guy's, you don't have to justify why you sold the truck. You 7 Michael did a wonderful thing by getting that beauty back on the road. I do hope that the new owner, John is taking care of her and sends in some updated pictures for everyone to see. There are a lot of haters out there who sit behind a keyboard and type crap. I absolutely loved seeing and hearing that Pete start up after so many years. Cheers!!
    PS : More video's like this please.

  • @arthurmiller9434
    @arthurmiller9434 5 лет назад +1

    Thank you for the update. I viewed the rescue of the Peterbilt 359-I was so encouraged to see it running and to see someone take ownership of it, etc.. Hope the new owner will post some information on it. Thanks again and best wishes on your Kenworth Project.

    Glad to hear it went to a good home that's going to show that ole'girl the love she deserves. There's not many trucks out there anymore that command the respect the ole' 359's earned and not very many can put up the miles that those ole gems can. That Kenworth behind ya's one of the few I'd put up there in the same category as the Old Pete's. So good on ya'll for finding her a good home that intends to get her back out doing what she loves. It was obvious to an old trucker that that ole'girl was ready to go and wanted to be loved again doing what she was built for...
    That being sad I have to ask WTF are you trying to Blow my speakers and deafen me? That voice close to camera or voice over what ever it was had the wife cussing me for at least 10 mins as it scared this shit out of her and damn near deafened me...LOL
    Oh and all three ya'lls channels just earned my sub so good to know there are young'ins out there rescuing these old'girls and bringing them back to life or better returning them to the life they love...
