    Chad you don't have to apologize for shot knees. I know your struggles and working on old stuff. I need a hip replacement at 54 from having to much fun in my youth, but still work on my old trucks and tractors even when it hurts. Keep up the good work.

    Hey Chad, I don't usually comment so much but I really have to say my peace. Dude, you keep on talking and doing everything you are doing just as you always have. You have here a fan for life. I like the banter, I like the work, I like the knowledge you are sharing with us. I also am not a young man so waking everyday with aches and pains can (as you say) really get on my nerves too. But you don't let that discourage you and you get out there and keep makin' these videos everyday. God Bless your father and mother for raising a good man and a good example of what a man is and does. All the people that comment negativity have the right to do that but they also have the right not to watch. Chad, you've crossed into the 80K subs and that is just a testament to what you are puttin' out. Just good old fasioned entertainment. Thank you buddy.

Whether they make it back on the road or just used for parts. Thank you for what you do and God bless!

    You can use 2 1/2 or 3 " brake shoes on a full float rear axle the 1 ton trucks use 3 3/4 ton uses 2 1/2 they are interchangable there are many different wheel cylinders also that will all fit, the narrow drums for a 3/4 ton Dodge is 2 1/2 " but that axle is a semi floating axle it's called a 9.25 hd Chrysler axle that axle you have here is probably a dana 60-70

    I have worked in auto parts for 20+ years. The reason that thermostats don’t come with gaskets anymore is that many different cars use the same thermostat, but have a different housing and gasket. Remember that a 360 Dodge, a 350 Chevy and a 351 Windsor all use the same thermostat. Plus Buick, AMC, Jeep, Pontiac etc.

    You’ll get a kick out of this. I’ve got a 77 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4. And I’ve still got the original 16.5 steelys and I’m running a set of mud and snow bias plys. I took the truck in to my mechanic to have ball joints done and mentioned that lately It’s been pulling to the right kinda hard. I went in and checked on the truck the other day and he said that my right front tire had 7 pounds of air pressure in it 😂. That tire had a slow leak over the winter and kept going flat however it never came off the bead. I thought i got it fixed but it must have started to leak again. But that tire was so stiff even in the fall, the tire still held its shape perfectly.

    Hey Chad, Greetings from south Texas.
    Another fantastic rescue on this Dodge. Thoroughly enjoyed the verbal content along with the work as this keeps me informed on how you are doing and a direction for my prayers for you.
    I don't know what you're vision is for the Danged ol Dodge but I can see it as your tow vehicle with a type of service bed for any future rescues you may have. This way you could carry virtually all you need for a rescue or at least able to get them trailered back to the shop.
    Keep the great content coming - I'm enjoying your channel just as it is.
