It felt soooooo good hearing that truck start. In Jamaica we would say: " wa no dead, no call it duppy" this means that, never write something off, until you exhausted every option.

Looks promising. I believe in 85 that would’ve been an FLC 120 is probably a 425 being a B model. In its day that was a top of the line truck. Do a lot of cleaning fix the doors and you’ll have a pretty good reliable truck.

Before late 86 a B model wasn't a 425 without Air2Air. 87 models had A2A across the board here in 🇨🇦. I had both a 87 LTS wit a 350 A2A and a 87 FLA 120 wit a 425B A2A. Great engines. I'd have either again. This one in the video has no A2A so my thought is it's a 350 or 400 Bmodel.

@@recessional5560 What are you getting at here? You make no sense. I did give credit where credit was due, I commented on the truck that was being viewed in that video. I said nothing bad about a cabover, but that wasn't even the subject of the video, it was about a conventional. Get your comments and your shit straight.

Man I would Dress that rig up and do a complete Tune up and put it hauling Flats and Steps. That old truck sounds good. I had one of thos Lug Wrench's and it was stolen out of my side box along with all my chains and binders at Jubitt's Truck Stop.

Dear James Pretty and pretty wife. 👍👌👏 Very well done (video and work). The engine runs really great. 2) You two look and work really well together! Congrats for having such a relationship. 3) This truck rescue was done pretty professional! Not like most of those backyard or farm "mechanics" amateurs. Especially your hint about having proper battery capacity for starting made me smile. Thanks also for not using ether starting fluid spray. 4) Fortunately utube recommended this video to me. I'm also a big fan of Twin Sticks Garage Mark P. Hope you know and like him too. I also watch channel Bus Grease Monkey and Indiana Diesel for instance. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
