Glad to see you & chad having a good time.Where I'm from,marinette wi.,only farmers & truckers,const. workers know how to drive stick.Your next vehicle,make sure its a stick,3 speed with granny gear.I have a 1990 chevy suburban 2500 4x4 with 410 gears,no wheel spacers,no lift kit,almost brand new snow tires,tranny was rebuilt last yr.Mines not stick,but I can disable the hot wire or pull the plug wires off.Nobody recognizes my truck unless they're in the ditch [in the snow],or buried in mud.Ole sally loves to come out when nothing else can move except snowmobiles or snowplows,and she never complains. We didnt get shit for snow yet this yr.We only have about 2".We were suppoed to get 6" to 8".In march of 2018 we got 18" - 20" in 1 day.The drifts were up to the shop windows that I was renting.
Man o man those cab overs bring back a lot of memories with dad, dad owned his own truck first it was a freightliner then he moved to a Mack he loved that Mack. When he had to get out of the owner operater game to drive for a big company he didn’t really care for the long nose trucks. Dad smoked 5 packs a day of pall mall and you could eat his coffee with a spoon because it was so thick Lol those were fun times riding with him
I’m glad to see you’re working on the old pete my 73 had a seperate clutch brake adjustment at the bottom of the clutch lever on the trans it was a square headed bolt with a jam nut mine was bottomed out when I got it so I removed it and put the jam nut on the other side of where it was mounted and got more travel out of it a no cost repair that got the clutch brake working again
Hey James just finished watching video on the wrecker and saw Chad's Pete. Good looking and cool sounding truck. Just had to pass this on. Have a fantastic day brother. Waiting to see the tow truck drive home with no problems.
Great video James it's always good when you and Chad work together fixen stuff on the wrecker and his truck. Thanks for sharing stay safe James and Chad.
I also hope karma finds those thieves in a big way. It's great to see U and Chad team.up on this ol rig. So excited for this build to be up and rollin coal
Hi James, merry Christmas to you and little Miss redhead, man I’m sorry to hear about your truck and things getting stolen. I went through the same stuff with my F250 diesel at work go figure it brings on a lot of different emotions.
😂😂 I'm just going to get out of here, I don't want anything getting into my beer😂😂😂. If you have someone say that while working on something, that's a friend. 😂😂. Can't wait for you to get her home
I have a couple of things to add to your explanation of the compounded injury that theft from you has caused. When I was an undergrad at the Univ. Florida in the early 1980s, my Spanish teacher was a grad student, and a really cool guy. A student's bike had just been stolen, and the teacher told everyone, "This is what happens when thieves steal your things.They hurt you. They not only have your thing, but they gave you an injury. The stolen thing could have meaning well beyond its dollar value." I never forgot that. Several decades later, I when I caught a guy stealing a child's bicycle that lesson came in quite handy. A little later today, I will tell that dramatic story, if James doesn't mind.
I no friend win when somebody stole my car in front of my house didn't think nothing of it.That broke me and you know you work hard for something.Some people don't respect people.I know you feel broke
I had a car stolen off my driveway and it was the only time I ever left my wallet in the car! I also had a cb and antenna and new stereo in the trunk that was destined for my big truck. I feel your pain bud
Hopefully your insurance company takes care of you on the TRX? Yeah ole Chads K100 looks sweet and sounds good to. Another great guy out there running the old school cool trucks like I did some years ago. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with the sweet Pete wrecker. Very cool wrecker, something you don't see now..
We'd all love to see that wrecker drive back to your house but looking in that compartment would seriously make me think about getting it towed back so you have access to all your tools to make it safe.
my tool are gone going too buy a new set going to take a lot of work get that car started because its been sitting so long basically I get on a hematic balancer and work the bolt
James I was thinking about the wires when you hooked up the battery's on the last video. I have a car 86 Chevy Caprice 2 Dr its been sitting for 12 yrs I had mouse nest in the air cleaner Iam wondering under the dash looks like. Merry Christmas
Hey James, I still haven't seen the whole video yet, but I'm curious as to whether you continued trying to blast mount that old flat steer tire or if you just didn't bother trying. It's obvious you just bought new ones anyway.
Sorry to hear that someone stole your vehicle 😢 James you know that it’s a dam shame they did that to you always remember that what goes around comes around.
You will get there with the old Pete soon it's going to be a good looking truck sometime keep up the good work brother and keep on trucking good to see Frank on property merry Christmas to you and jess
I have a rigid brand battery powered vacuum, uses the same batteries as their other power tools. I know you are a Makita owner and I know they offer one, my rigid is my go to for first cleanings on old shit when power is not available.
But that's your truck and some say some people don't respect.I pray that somebody will bless you.Then she was another truck or another truck or another truck.All the military luck.Because you help everybody but you help people out
Good Afternoon Brothers Merry Christmas So Sorry to hear that Wow That Truck fired up no smoke huh Chad smoke a while what's that in the fuel ? I talk to Chad before said I'll always look for all Y'all in distress traveling jersey to SC definitely by Chad a Beer 🪓🍺🪓😁 take Care
The 30-40 number is the different between what I paid for the truck and what its book value is. The personal items didn’t have any monetary value. Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that.
@@JamesPretty why pay that much more then a truck is worth? If it’s cause you modified it why don’t they cover that if you have pappers on everything that is done? That is how things work in Sweden. You need special insurance for it though.
@@JamesPretty i would assume for the money the insurance give you, you can get one just the same as the one you lost. So can’t really understand how you lost any money.
I'm so sorry man it's just messed up people are messed up just b Down right messed up I'm sorry you lost that. Plate holder i get it sum times it's not the cost of the item it's the memory that's tied to it that makes it worth so much karma is a very cruel witch and when they get em they will wish they didn't do the dum crap that they did. You are good people and I hope everything works out of you. Have a Merry Christmas my friend
Happy holidays to you and yours it sucks that your TRX got stolen I know you feel violated when your personal shit also gets stolen FN people!!!! As you said, they don't give a rip what the stuff means to you!!!!!
Leptospirosis is a killer. I'm not being dramatic, my neighbour, Paul Green was killed by it. Get that truck thoroughly disinfected. Great truck, just want you healthy to enjoy it.
not good they stolen your truck right out of your yard ...people talk about stealing my Corvette for a long time it's still bust up the accident was caused by 10 people sabotaging my car inside the parking lot underneath security cameras the security officer security officers at meijer never contact me about what was done in parking lot after the accident
Ya there a fine line between being a mechanic and being a camera man. Some day the channel will be big enough to have a full time camera operator I appreciate ya being here

We'd all love to see that wrecker drive back to your house but looking in that compartment would seriously make me think about getting it towed back so you have access to all your tools to make it safe.
Oh I’ve considered it. But It’s only a short drive home so I’m going to try to spend a couple more trips and get her ready to drive before I give up
my tool are gone going too buy a new set going to take a lot of work get that car started because its been sitting so long basically I get on a hematic balancer and work the bolt
James I was thinking about the wires when you hooked up the battery's on the last video. I have a car 86 Chevy Caprice 2 Dr its been sitting for 12 yrs I had mouse nest in the air cleaner Iam wondering under the dash looks like. Merry Christmas
Ya I figured it would be bad after seeing all the poo on the floor. We’ll get it tho for sure. Appreciate ya
Hey James, I still haven't seen the whole video yet, but I'm curious as to whether you continued trying to blast mount that old flat steer tire or if you just didn't bother trying. It's obvious you just bought new ones anyway.
No I just decided even if I got it mounted I’d want them changed before driving it. So I left it flat and had new skins installed
Sorry to hear that someone stole your vehicle 😢 James you know that it’s a dam shame they did that to you always remember that what goes around comes around.
Merry Christmas and happy new year
Same to you! thanks for being here

yep its a good idea.. once this wrecker is my Main Work Truck I will have her outfitted with air and electric and fire accessories.
@@JamesPretty Its going to look very awesome to see the wrecker all done
In the eternal words of James Pretty " Just my $hit"!
Hahaha
i think that Chad , needs that long bed you got,.
I agree...
Hey Chad frank is badass.
of course he is
I forgot to ask did you get the email
Didn’t I reply?
Cherry would be a good name for wrecker seems like all your trucks have stripper names lol
Hahaha never thought about them that way but ya it does seem you’re correct
Who has personal items for 30-40000$ in their car? I assume insurance would cover a stolen truck. Would be weird if not.
The 30-40 number is the different between what I paid for the truck and what its book value is. The personal items didn’t have any monetary value. Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that.

@ when I bought the truck you had to pay 10k over sticker to get them at the time and the rest of the value lose is because it was 3 years old now
@@JamesPretty i would assume for the money the insurance give you, you can get one just the same as the one you lost. So can’t really understand how you lost any money.
@ doesn’t really work that way, the trucks still
Sell at beyond book value. I wish you were right tho. It’s not a Honda accord
Ask Ron or timmy
Ask them?
hey you're inside that truck and you feel something rub against your leg I won't reach pet it LOLOLOLOLOLOL hahahahahahahhaha
Hahaha that’s for sure bro
I'm so sorry man it's just messed up people are messed up just b
Down right messed up I'm sorry you lost that. Plate holder i get it sum times it's not the cost of the item it's the memory that's tied to it that makes it worth so much karma is a very cruel witch and when they get em they will wish they didn't do the dum crap that they did.
