Great road trip Diff. Its below 0c in Edmonton and I almost started to sweat watching the barefoot mechanic take the diff off of the rear leaf springs. Well done boys. Cheers
I worked the Garden Route for 12 years as a Rep. I slept in Swellendam Police cells one night in 1982 while in the army after returning from 13 months on the border with 32, infantry and Koevoet. I was hitchhiking from PE back to 2 Military hospital in Cape Town. The kid who picked me up in Swellendam crashed his mums Opel Manta into a ditch and I had no money for a hotel. The police fed me and gave me a bed. Buffeljagsfontein……. I always stopped there for a pee and a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich. This was a great trip to go along on. Thanks for taking us along.
Hey Diff, thanks for sharing a little of beautiful South Africa. Yes, here in Wisconsin we'll see a high of 0' C. Not bad! I had a 78 E150 van I drove cross country for over 20 years. 351 W. My summer driver is powered by the 351 M in my 64 F100. Tomorrow we head to Minnesota to visit family. About a 800 mile round trip. Our gas is at about $2.50 per us gallon. Not sure what that is in liters. Have a Happy New Year. One more thing, don't let Wayne drive anymore!!!😅
Happy holidays Diff. I nearly missed this one due to some sort of mis fire this morning. We no longer have "full serv" stations " here and pump our fuel, check oil and wash the windscreen. Thanks for the trip. Keep truckin.
The F-rod did well. The Chev cab you got will remind you of this Christmas for a long time to come. It's got almost more rust than steel, so that should keep you happy. Enjoy your present Div.
Happy Christmas Div and Wayne....good score there with the truck cab hey..yes in Australia we call fuel stations , petrol stations or service stations..OR in SLANG.....SERVOS...hahahaha
Road trip! Thats what i tell my dog and he jumps right up and is ready to go! Btw his name is Ryder ,lol . Perfect name for the ol boy. Thanks for bringing us along always love your road trips!
As an Australian the landscape looks very much like here, hot and dry. Hope you had a happy Chrissy mate. years ago we called them petrol stations now Service Station or simply a Servo 33:52
I have an un finished 46 and cried over what happened to those doors. You wouldn't find a cab sitting on the ground in Canada that still had rocker panels or the bottom 3 inches of the doors. By Nova Scotia standards, those are rust free
Thank you for the road trip in warm weather down under there as I sit in my hot tub on a chilly rainy night wishing it was warm outside. Any '42 is a rare one as they only produced a few cars and trucks befire converting over to building military equipment. Dan from Oregon
Excellent Diff!, nice little vid to get us over the xmas day hangover. Love your road trips. So much of your home is like our home (aust. SA/Vic) the country, that fruit orchard. Yes that rail bridge was nostalgic, rare these days. Gr8 vid thank you Cheers
Very offensive saying of Wayne at 14:42 "Looking for a shade" when allmost the whole rest of the world is freezing :-))))) Nice trip and thanks for taking us along Div!
Looked like a great and pleasant day out, couple of finds,and a great mate thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones, Merry Christmas, have a Lekka one
Hey looks like we might get to see something else getting built and we got to see y'all enjoy another outing together plus more of south Africa such a beautiful place but until next time Mr Diff 👍👍👍
Watching this video again, hoping to find a tidbit of entertainment that I missed on the last two times and hoping you are still working on something yellow ⚡️
Merry Christmas you Blokes. Service Station (Servo) is common Aussie for petrol Station/Gas station. A fantastic cab which no doubt you will have panel beaten back to original shape in No time I am sure. Have. good one lads.
Really enjoyed this video Dif, It was like driving in northern areas of Western Australia. We would call gas stations "Servos". Hard to find a servo with attendants anymore though. Our hometown Denmark in the Great Southern area of WA is the only one l know of. Just love Wayne's laughter ! Here's to a good 2025. Lez
Merry Christmas yall awesome friends awesome family Awesome memories happy new year yall may the new year bring yall health prosperity peace and a passle of new rust brother !!!! Awesome adventure with brother Wayne !!!!! Always enjoy your adventures brother can't wait to see how the new year begins
Merry Christmas to you & family and Wayne & family, Real boxing-day treat watching and relaxing, taking me on this road trip fetching your present 🎁 💯%🙏 Love & Respect from Isgak( Gakkie),from Rocklands, Mitchells Plain, South Africa 🇿🇦
$4.43 a gallon ain't cheap for gasoline !!!! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Now all you have to do is build another ramrod !!!! That Carl was definitely Santa Claus as that cab will make a great vehicle in the hands of the master.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Diff. Love the Christmas video, and the "gift". Can't wait to see what you do with this project. Happy new year from the middle of nowhere Montana,
And a very Happy RUSTY Christmas to you Div and Wayne. Love the road trip/treasure hunt. Some beautiful coastline there mate. And the railway bridges reminded me that I spent 6 years a while back helping restore a SAR 24th Class locomotive, here in Australia that belonged to a guy in NZ. He bought it and a number of others from the railway depot in Bloemfontein SA, there were 100 of the 24 Class built by North British for SAR. I've visited some places in SA but would love to visit that depot. My steam loco "treasure". Cheers from Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘.
happy holidays Diff and BFM from New Zealand!!
Love these SA roadtrips, such a beautifull country, specially with these old cars and your old mate with his rattlesnake laugh.
Great video. Africans are such friendly people. ❤
You just can't beat a Christmas road trip to retrieve rusty treasure! Merry Christmas you guys!
Great road trip Diff. Its below 0c in Edmonton and I almost started to sweat watching the barefoot mechanic take the diff off of the rear leaf springs. Well done boys. Cheers
Beauty ... How Nice to Find a Workable Cab at that Price.... thats $500 to $800 in ARIZONA
Amusingly, I said "Hey, don't scratch the paint!" right before you said "Hey, don't scratch the paint!" 😅
Merry Christmas from Canada, Div!

Thanks for taking us along.
Ah yes, some of us have many Army stories to swop.😀
PS. When Wayne mentioned a Cream Soda my ears…… 💚💚💚💚💚
@Grizzmakes Besides the drink, I'm sure you know he was referring to the petrol, which is also green.
Good to see old Crackpoot being put to work like it’s meant for 👍
Jip, we don't build decorations! 😅

Merry Xmas. In Australia a garage is often called a Servo, short for service station. 30:47
Enjoyed driving along with you. Brings back memories of taking many of the same roads in 2008. Beautiful country!
