    I have to say that whenever I recommend someone this channel. I recommend this series, because anyone who can take that rusty pile of sheet metal, and turn it into what it is today should not only earn my respect, but the whole of the internet's. The future unlike burned out halogen bulbs is very bright!!

    So Im guessing that silver dollar is worth more than the square body? But those light weight racing fenders are the bomb! Must save 50 lbs or more. And the flow thru ventilation in the cab is definitly a highly sought after factory option. Great score!

  • @KiwiStag74
    @KiwiStag74 Před 4 měsíci +5

    It's been a while since we saw that project and it was great to see all the highlights of the build from start to finish. I'd completely forgotten just how rotten that cab was at the beginning - and it was truly shocking, eh! Seeing you give the engine a rev as you and JD were getting ready to go for the first drive and watching the cab twist and compress so bad that the door moved out of the remains of the frame {{SHUDDER}} Haven't seen scuttle shake that bad since my mates and I cut the roof, pillars and door tops off a rotten old Cortina and try to drive it down the road......and your truck has a frame under it!
    Compressing the whole series into an hour and a half (more or less) would indeed take an effort. Which bits to leave in or cut, all the splicing of the bits into a new video and leaving enough to ensure it flows. Worth doing and releasing several months after the final episode (as you've done here), but not something I'd do myself with every project due to the sheer effort required....and it would be selfish of us as the viewers to expect it. Glad the truck has gone to a good home. You're right - getting the next generation interested in the old cars is the only way the vehicles will continue to be around. Glad both you and I have young ones that we've managed to infect with the bug! All the best

I absolutely love how this build turned out but I absolutely hate bondo, I wouldn't know it was there if I didn't watch this, but i would love to see this baby rebuilt with a perfect cab. I can't wait to see the 4x4 van build, I've been dreaming about a sweet ol van since I ever started loving cars.

    I have a 74 K10 that started out in similar shape. I have one side done with new cab mount, inner and outter rockers, cab corner, kick panel and floor pan all done. As soon as firewood cutting season is over I'm going to start on the other side. This series has rekindled my motivation. Thanks Dalton!

    My favorite part of this channel is the “ rebuild “ in a rattle can.😂

    I'm a body guy and this series was very satisfying to watch
