Someone donate a workbench to this guy. He’s frickin’ welding in his lap. Nice work. Cool build.

[@Byzmax]

I really think he would not use it... Well not for welding. Probably to prop something up perhaps. He just uses what he has and makes it happen.

[@caseyj.1332]

Probably wouldn't be the first time he's caught his britches on fire. I've worked this way for years...engineerin' by the seat of your pants.

[@Brando_Magnifico]

There's no way He could build one if He needed it

[@RuralTowner]

Just like some of the Old Timers no doubt...

[@stillraven9415]

I've never seen that b4! He must have steel balls!

[@dyamariv3628]

CUDA!!CUDA!!CUDA! This is an awesome build but please do the the Cuda first, plz plz plz! :) Love the channel!

[@kennethsonier1766]

The diamond t was probably the single coolest looking truck ever built. I'm psyched to see this thing coming together. You do some awesome work dude 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@muddparish6044]

To be honest diamond made amazing looking trucks. But in my opinion international had better looking trucks (but I'm biased since my first vehicle was a s160 school bus)

I love seeing these old trucks back on the road. Your accent sounds like home to me.

[@therealmcoy]

I don’t know how old you are, but it’s awesome seeing you tackling these old vehicles. I wish we had more your age interested in these.

[@scottnyc6572]

For someone as young as you,you certainly have a keen eye for doing impeccable metal fabricating on an early model vehicle.I don’t think you’d see many older generations even attempting the caliber type of work you’re doing. I’m really liking what I’m seeing come together there and hope you continue on these restoration projects.

[@geraldboykin6159]

You just need the right stuff. I had a classmate in the 70s that restored a 1940s Willys jeep from WW2.

[@johnmarinowolfgangkromhong3923]

The fact that you do this by yourself is amazing! I would love to work with you and assist your creations, if only I lived closer!

[@maggs131]

I love things close and farther away

[@stebstebanesier6205]

I was thinking the same thing, If I lived close to this guy he would have to file a restraining order to keep me away.

[@jesterr7133]

Dude, you're tough. You got guts doing this by yourself without even having a lift. Much respect. This is a super ambitious project for the tools you have to work with. It will be really cool if you can pull it off. I remember the first video on this truck. It sucked that the motor was roached, but it made it a good candidate for a custom build. I'm glad you are saving the truck.

[@jst.hilaire354]

This is so much fun. MIG welding against your thigh is just so special

[@dubcab6039]

Can’t wait for next video part 2 Let’s go I dig your channel keep up the good work

[@simonbarnwell7787]

Loving your work , best wishes from England , and thanks for sharing the rebuild of this wonderfull old American truck with us .

[@BelloBelvedere]

Super master, you bring these old girls back to there glories.

[@zworm2]

Great looking build. The front of that truck is simply a classic!

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

you get so much work done for just one guy, youre a legend

[@FAzE__pK]

Man these videos are awesome and inspiring. The progression in one video is astonishing, and being someone who’s worked on vehicles I know this wasn’t just a two day project so hats off to you man for the dedication

[@BelloBelvedere]

You are good mechanic and more than that. You have learnt good in school..

[@edmann8084]

Those fenders look good!!!

[@keithjohnson7453]

Built many vehicles after 44 years Always comes down to who is behind the hammer Very good!

[@michaelliles2157]

Very happy looking forward to the cuda video

[@704406bbl]

I think you are well on your way to being the next the next Ian Roussel. With that shop full of Harbor Freight tools, you are the working man's champion! American ingenuity and imagination building really cool projects. What an awesome way to bring that old truck back to life. Carry on ol' buddy!

[@therebel-ur8vw]

sure hope ya keep addin to your videos so everyone can see the end result awesome build so far

[@stigdanielsen384]

This was great to watch, and I am looking forward to the next session

[@alanpaulick7815]

You are nailing this truck with your fabricating. Thanks for sharing your content. Looking forward to the next video.

[@whitesapphire5865]

One thing I do like about thee videos is that they are similar in so many way to "The Zach Life" - the young Texas guy who spends his time at work in his oilfield and workshop, fixing and making things, replacing worn parts and in-between whiles, building his "Toter Home" and other projects. I must admit, on here, I love the "will it start" videos, and in truth, just getting a few things together to attempt a start on a 'forty-odd' year old tractor with a stuck engine....... Got some acetone, got some ATF, got some long bars, trying to find some Evaporust and some PB Blaster, but they're not easy to find here in the UK.

[@143DREWID]

Gifted insanity for sure, great rescue fabrication.

[@ianmaddams9577]

This is gonna be one awesome truck. And the Cuda is looking good too. Real talent with that fabrication

[@michaelbesler7469]

Makes me wish I had a garage large enough for that and not just the model a and some tools and electric unicycles. I do have a 38 gmc 1.5 ton I need to put a deck on of some sort so I will keep watching your build for inspiration. Nice work

[@curiosity2314]

Amazing work on this unit.

[@michaelguinn5736]

I was bummed to see that Diamond T cut apart, but, hey, it's your truck, I'm sure it will turn out nice! Now that I watch the video, looks like the Diamond T chassis was in bad shape, I work most of the time by myself too, sometimes it really sucks!!.. y'all be safe!! God Bless!!

[@jaivette]

Very interesting to watch your progress without any help. One man band 👍😎

[@ralphjaquess8069]

Great content , anyone that has ever started a build like this ( design builds ) knows its a puzzle with a lot of pieces ! Fabricating is an art in itself fit up takes time . Frame, drivetrain, and body .

[@greggscott3255]

I like it, big ole vintage truck, cool cuda, ranchero and will it run. I'm ready 👍

[@JT-LV]

You’re a madman 😂😂 The s*** you tackle is insane. Great channel!

[@anonymous2513456]

i'm always impressed by the sheer confidence and skill that you have man. This would melt my mind with all the things that could (would) go wrong

[@confused_potato_boi1435]

[@Russworld1]

Awesome. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Well done.

[@frankycheese]

Awesome work! putting this together all by yourself too!

[@OneWrenchRobeo]

I'm hooked that's a sweet truck great work

[@TheRSTD1]

I learned more watching this video than I have in 6 months of tech school.

[@needsaride15126]

How beautiful that truck would look with an OEM restoration. Sad no one does them anymore.

I always look forward to another post. Great work. Keep it up cause your channel is growing. Thank you.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Well what progress ! Just great to see you saving stuff and repair , using skills from us old ones and keep history alive and skills for future I wish you all the best from England !

I like how he's always saying " we did this", "we're going to .." etc and it's only ever himself doing everything 😂 what a badass

[@paulwoodman5131]

Yeah he works the way I would If I was doing something like that it would be me and me. You learn how to use some work aids for balance and support, jacks or a hoist. It does take a little longer.

[@timschmidt0617]

Fantastic stuff bro, can't wait to see her done

[@terryflora9268]

As a fan of your channel I appreciate the small 20 minute window into your daily routine on projects that alot of time and effort just for that small window That is going to be a sharp truck when finished

[@geoffburrill9850]

Wow this guy can work. Hard doing this all on your own.

[@geoffreymills9932]

That's one awesome build right there, very cool

[@StuffBudDuz]

I've watched many of your "will it run" vids and enjoyed them. First of this format I've seen, and I'd love to see more like this. Maybe even show more of the work and give some lessons in the process by explaining the steps you're taking and why you're taking them, like what Mustie1 does. Either way, I'll definitely enjoy the videos and I have subscribed.

[@LuciFeric137]

I love the old heavy duty wheels they used to put on pickups. My 57 Powerwagon had split rims. Even the ancient grave digger tires were still driveable. Hard as rocks.

[@carlzimmer2721]

i never saw what you did get done you are a genious like me that you don t let things eat you you keep going without getting bogged down, i did refrigeration i never let what i did bother me, you are amazing, most people would never do what you can do

You're like the Indiana Jones of antique auto revivals! Exploring all manner of terrain for abandoned vehicles, pack-rats running everywhere, spontaneous engine fires and in this episode, butt-clenching lap-welding...can't wait for more! 🤓

Big project,but you definitely got this. Thanks for sharing all your restoration projects. Any car or truck guy can appreciate them. I admit ,Sometimes when I'm watching them ,I want to say ,Hey brother let me give you a hand with lifting that. Lol I've always enlisted friends or family to help with the really tough car projects like replacing a tranny ect...

[@42lookc]

God has given you some astounding talent and ability and it's an absolute pleasure to watch you put it to good use. That's going to be one of the koolest trucks on the road! Keep these videos coming! 😊

[@theoriginalracingsnake]

I subbed up a while ago for one of the "will it start" videos, and man, is this recent stuff different! I loved the humour in those videos, made me LOL a lot. Then you introduced the 'cuda. Then I realised just what a metal master you were. Great content, loving this all the way from the UK.

This is SO COOL! You are so great at fabricating on the fly and figuring it out as you go. Love the no nonsense approach to making the cardboard patterns first, finalizing the design, then carrying out the plan. This old girl is going to be HOT! Great video!

[@bradpage8967]

“I knew that was going to happen” 🤣 Been there!!! This build is an interesting one that’s for sure!

[@JulianaBlewett]

This is gonna be a sweet Frankentruck. He kind of reminds me of stories about my grandpa from Arkansas. He was a pro welder in the 1920s-1960s.
