    The standard of the mans 55 & 58 Chevys is impeccable in my view. Very fortunate.

    I am a Ford guy to an extent but when it comes to classic trucks they r all beautiful and amazing. I even recently bought a 65 GMC 4000.

    I agree. Don't get locked into one make. All American made classic trucks, cars, and motorcycles are worth saving!

    I really want a '50's model truck to make a rollback now!!!! Homer has a ton of power, even with a couple issues. Glad to see these trucks pulled out of the weeds and brush for others to enjoy.

    I learned to drive truck in two old 600's one dump truck and one with a flat bed. I could reach the pedals when I was 10 and used to buck hay with my best friend. We would take turns driving and when we were 14 we drove all over the county for the Retired Sheriff and my friends uncle who shared a hay and horse stable business. We always had a half case of Rainier beer between the seats after we left the field and one after stacking in the barn. We hauled more hay in a day that 3 or 4 kids getting towed around on a trailer. Lots of memories good times.

    In 1978 I was a mechanic's apprentice at Mack Trucks. That was the start of my love for trucks. Worked with some really great, smart guys who taught me a lot. It was like working in a mechanical encyclopedia. Love your channel.

    It looked like the dust devils in the background were dancing with joy to see the GMC finally going to a loving home. I bet that Ford sounds fantastic with the flathead V8 blowing through stacks...

    As far as trucks go I'm a Ford guy, like GMC/Chevy, Dodge,Reo, Diamond T. International, Studebaker. They are all worth saving. Grew up with the 55,56,57 Chevy cars, loved them then and still do You guys Keep On Keeping On. Thanks for making me 10 years old again,even if only for a few minutes

  • @ouygfr
    @ouygfr Před 8 lety +1

    Love the ford truck with the stacks. The fact that it has a flathead V8 makes it very cool. Just owning that engine, weather it runs or not is a cool piece of automotive history. That's the engine that revolutionized automotive technology back in the day.

    I was born in 1952. I can remember when my grandfather bought a new 1957 Chevrolet 1/2 ton step side. My brother and I helped him rebuild the engine. I drove it until 1973. Your videos have special meaning for me. I dream about owning one again.

    Okay, this is CTR when it's best. Im over the moon, about meeting Bob for the first time! That 3-0-2 is real good truck/hot rod material, and bulletproof!
    Sad to see homer in the state, looking forward to seeing him brought back. But a re-gear (rear end swap), and keep the migty mouse with a SM465 in it, or a Cummins 12 and a NV4500.The NV4500 came in some Chevys, and also comes in a SAE bell version that fit the Cummins. Make them swap-ready 😜Love the F6 and Flathead too.

    • @snapperman8461

  • @howardkoster4026
    @howardkoster4026 Před 4 lety +1

    You know, I always liked Chevies, but as you said, I don't like getting locked into one brand. Especially these days, because all this old elderly iron has survived this long...I like the forgotten makes, Studebaker, Desoto, American Motors.. These old trucks are all cool, all makes and need to be brought back....
    That Ford needs to be restored being that it's in good shape.

    I am definitely a Chevy guy, But any old American steel is worth saving. I have a couple of friends that are Ford guys. We give each other a hard time some times, but it's all in fun. Chevy, Ford or dodge. If you take care of them that they will last.

    @bradleypreston5282 Před 8 lety +1

    I agree with you 100% on saying it's just crazy to be locked in to just one make. Life is too short to be that closed minded. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to cars,it doesn't matter who made it or where it was made. If I like the car,and can afford to buy and rebuild it. I'll buy it.
