I’ve been a fab/ welder for 40 years this is next level!!!

[@renash1815]

Boy, I love watching Ian and friends build things! I like everything he does. Even his stuff on his own KZbin. Everything is great.

[@dennisdill9433]

Ian is probably my favorite hot-rod builder,just so laid back

[@nathangoshawk]

Back in the early 60's, here in the UK, I discovered Hot Rod magazine (Yeah, I'm a fossil) and one article was a competition between volunteer, fire crews. It was like a drag race with additional activities, like managing the hoses and employing the ladder. Some of those makeshift, fire trucks were really wild, right down to big old slicks. Ian's hot rod fire truck would have fitted right in.

[@williammccormack6295]

Ian Rousell you have knock this build clear out of the park over the bleachers As a retired fire fighter it just speaks we are on it fantastic fabrication as always 3 weeks build incredible Bill 1954 AR110 International sidestep pickup custom Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@olfatskootch]

And,and,and a chrome siren tastefully mounted, and a nice revolving light on a stalk. Beautifully executed

[@thomasmcfarland8199]

A piece of flat steel welded at the ends of the hose hangers, just going up, is the only thing missing. Then the hoses could be left on during transport. You always do amazing work!

[@l.glucid9077]

Bill summed it up pretty well, ... but let's not forget "the most important detail", it is Shop-Dog approved 😃

[@rogerpence]

What a great build. It's so cool how Ian works with all his hot rod buds to build great his superb rides.

[@LarryMikulanis]

[@mshort7087]

A water refillable fire extinguisher with a garden spray wand on it is perfectly for those little fires. Cost nothing to fill it…..

[@mackiri6996]

I like how bro just wings it

[@WilliamHBonney-m3r]

My Dad had a international cabover that was cool looking but it went to the scrap yard

[@reowhite4862]

The back looks like u used a cheap wood print Linoleum and it was probably because you had a time crunching I understand that but probably we would have looked a lot better if you were to used some pallet wood on it

[@rickarndt3895]

You need to put a siren and some red lights carousel

[@TheSilverEagle]

Great work as usual Ian.

The Chariot of an All Mighty God

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

I beg to differ.

[@grant8653]

@@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692 I respect and appreciate your opinion and that you took the time to reply. Beg to differ or not doesn't make my statement any less true since it is just my opinion and not a fact. Also Notice I did not say The Almighty God. I said An All Mighty God. So you probably aren't even begging to differ the same spiritual entity. :P Hope you are having a fantastic day/night.

[@danielbock7562]

LOL he asks IF it's safe to put airplane stuff on A truck ??? LOL Bro. Another story about the guys coming home from WW2 THE HYDRAULICS That They used on their cars to make them bounce were landing gear from Airplanes LOL yea BRO Big time 😎😎😎 bro I absolutely love the VW your building And I'd love to make some kinda Deal with you when you're finished I love it from every detail AND ESPECIALLY THE SLOT RIMS YOU ARE RUNNING ON IT 🤩🤩🤩

[@juststeve7665]

You're completely confused. Hydraulics weren't used until the early 1970s and they came from delivery truck lift gates... the pumps at least. Up until the late 1960's lowering blocks and cut or heated coil springs were the lowering method and no they didn't "bounce" their cars before hydraulics were used.
