Courtland Truck Works Tour

[@emilythomson4277]

Thank you for taking the time to compile a wonderful showcase of what my father and his spectacular crew do to keep the peterbilt tradition alive.

[@rnreajr9184]

When visiting Lodi a few years back I went to see Courtland Truck Works. It was a very cool place.

[@peacelove983]

I could spend all week looking around at that facility

[@captainmorgan1107]

Man, what an awesome place! Nice to see these old Petes being brought back to life.

[@the.porter.productions]

I grew up going to junkyards with my dad...and loved it, for I could go to the truck section and take it all in! 🥰 This place would be better than a junkyard! 🧐 I love old trucks being put back together! 🥰 Hey, how lucky would you be to have two or more trucks being built?! I would love to have SEVEN trucks...one for each day of the week. That would work! 🤩 Classy rigs! Enjoyed the tour!

[@chet328]

I'm so impressed with the talent and craftsmanship that these folks possess. Truly beautiful work on beautiful machines!!

[@nevessl998]

It was a delight to watch this video, thanks for posting!

[@Rainmanxxl1967]

There are all the vintage Petes gone ! I like to see that they are kept to be restored instead of beeing scrapped ! Work for more than decades ! Generations of enthusiasts find adequate Tractors there !

[@williep9289]

Great stuff Tom!!! Thanks for posting. ~Willie

[@josephturgeon7843]

Started driving in 1968 I retired a couple years ago I appreciate these old trucks they sure did work the hell out of you though climbing in Rocky Mountains with those big 250 Cummins what's a jake brake? But I still love them old girls

[@camshaftP16]

Yeah that is a cool place for sure. Hope all those trucks will be saved. I say yes please to a remake, that was great, thanks.

[@AggregateDood]

I just found a new type of steady cam that I want to buy. When I get it, I will revisit and try to get smoother shots. Those trucks do all get saved, a few that are in this video are now running around to ATHS truck shows as we speak...

[@ronzacharias1674]

Very nice work on big rigs thank you tour

[@AggregateDood]

Thank you for the kind words...

[@Darstrom]

Great video! Love them old needle noses!

[@Marty43936]

I think the people that didn't like this video are tree huggers that drive "smart cars" (a gokart with a body) but in my opinion this is a very cool video with some cool classic trucks!

[@oldschoolbbass]

cool as hell these folks do some great work

[@idcashflow]

awesome vid. thank you for sharing

[@raywilson800]

I know there will be trucks in heaven because God has already started saving them! This place has got to be the gateway to truckers heaven.

[@andrewking9761]

Those COE Peterbilts 280 would be as rare as an honest politician. Could you get a Detroit motor in them from the factory?? I'd say Cummins as a guess maybe a petrol engine or gasoline in US terms I'm from Australia. Hall-scott and Buda made those engines from memory.

[@2008truckman]

I can't find 1, 1950's Peterbilt with skirted fenders. And he's got whole flock of them. I am one VERY jealous soul right now.

[@AggregateDood]

I know what you mean... I've got a '56 351 cab, hood and fenders. I found a 350 grill, down the street from me, but I don't know what I'm gonna do about skirted fenders. Courtland reproduces the battery box steps....

[@janiesoito4494]

Sweet.

[@deborahchesser7375]

Boy I could spend all day there

[@robertdivany1627]

Where is this place located at..I have to see this marvels

[@josephturgeon7843]

Thank you again for posting this they call me twoDawgs

[@daviddjaddah4376]

wow this is the heaven on earth

[@alessandrositon7616]

Isso sim é uma oficina de verdade dá gosto de ver top de linha

[@louiseromero4577]

Beautiful work all Peterbilt s

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Larry's at 4:55 was best in my opinion, all the others were great eye candy.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

Wonder if they’ve any interior parts for my ‘74 Cabover I’m restoring?

[@iamrichrocker]

Tom...what song..or artist..at 14:45? and great video..good editing...and the CTW people are top notch..beautiful restorations...good to see these road warriors given a new life!

[@AggregateDood]

All of the music that I have used on my last couple of videos has been from the soundtrack menus in my iMovie app. The particular jingle that you are asking about, is called "Vista." They are short and there are only so many that are suitable to my tastes, so it's easy for one to find themselves using them over and over. But at least they're approved for use, to keep me from running into copyright issues...

[@allanhunter2328]

I know where there is a 1951 all original Pete and a 1951 Kenworth all original came from Oregon the guy drove them both home here in Mn. good condition

[@carlnapp8673]

Do they offer trucks for sale?

[@ignaciovioli4734]

paradise!!!!

[@NomadicSociety]

i may get hate but guys my first trucks were 1971 and a 72 and a 74's and im still at it! recording with a 4k 360 camera, :) i guess i came full circle from split rims, bias plys, wedge brakes, 210 and 230 hp, 10speed with a 4 speed aux. 5 and a 2, 5 and a 4,let me say it wasnt all fun and games back then we have it made now ,how do i know ?cause i lived it and am still going great guns! so watch my channel LOL and if you lived it like me you probably forgot how freaking hard the rides were and think of the glory days of yesteryear! well ---just remember the truth just remember how it really was, and yeah the more i think about it you did have to be a man just to be able to handle the truck and changing bias plys on split rims and adjusting froze up wedge brakes with hammer and plybar, remember men! it was no joke been there dun that and glad its over!! just sayin! and keepin it 100 no BS

[@NomadicSociety]

@Bighorn44 None Wow well some of that i dont remember lol. u must b old :) but fouled mouth bafoons are still around (in some states at least) lol N keep on truckin!

[@Colt-tf6xf]

Trucking 101 I was lucky enough to have been there too, no traffic to speak of compared to now, costs were sooo low back then, but still more than we had. We could make more money than a doctor, and now we can't even afford to see one. Two sticks,three sticks, propane boosters whatever it took to make speed, by the 80s we could outrun cop cars and airplanes (if there was a headwind aloft), couldn't outrun the Motorola, JeezLouise they sure got mad. Now they put steeringwheel holders on the road with 500 horsepower that never even rode in a truck the week before, very soon there won't be anyone in the cab. Fun while it lasted.

[@deborahchesser7375]

I wish there was a Mack guy with that kind of collection wow

[@andrewking9761]

Deborah Chesser In Australia there's two guys that have incredible Mack collections. One fella called ''Tony Champion'' has a very early model ''Cherry picker'' COE before the H67 with a Mack gasoline engine which surprised me as I thought they only made diesels.

[@mack_titan]

where exactly is this place? Do they allow public to take a tour? I will take a day off to visit this place...

[@AggregateDood]

Go to the very end of the video, I posted the address in the ending credits...

[@rodneyknutson7129]

am

[@rogeralsop3479]

Marvellous!

[@ShadowPill]

This is too cool!

[@AggregateDood]

Thanks Emily, I would like to remake a better version, where I get some words from the owners and employees and get more shots of them in action, fabricating parts and sheet metal and assembling trucks. Also, I want to get a directional mic so that you don't hear all of the camera body noise as I zoom and pan and lastly a steady cam mount so that the image doesn't bounce around when I walk.

[@MrArbutusify]

Loved it. Truck porn. Thanks for the video.

[@mwyethsr]

If I had lot of $$ I would rebuild a truck from the ground up and have some FUN !

[@AggregateDood]

I've been spending lot of $$ and I haven't even started my truck yet, all spent building the shop so that I can build the truck...

[@dangarrison3503]

Darrow is a good dude.

[@stambenazajednicaudrugavid5769]

I wanna living in America

[@michaelsteffen4887]

Than fill out the paperwork and move here LEGALLY! We have enough illegals.

[@stevenh.9535]

Wow that red pete

[@MsJinkerson]

I think the C.O.E.'s were better

[@RD2564]

Why do these chuckleheads only want Pete's? It's like Harley Davidson, it's just a machine boomer, there are lots of other worthy brands.

[@jimgeiger4816]

Because it takes us boomers back to a good time in our lives
