Rebooting My Life: Cars, Crew, and a Whole New Chapter

When channels start a ton of new projects and never finish them you know there on there way out

[@glenbaker-w2u]

Bruce glad you're taking time to make time for your son that is one of the most important things.. I live over right on the Tennessee Kentucky line and I was wondering Bruce if you ever find any old c b.s radios in those trucks that you buy and if you would like to make a deal and sell a bunch of them I'm interested in about any kind of old radio. especially the really old ones and some of them still have tubes know and I'm interested in the the amplifiers that go with them. I would willing to take them out if you don't have the time to fool with them but I would appreciate you thinking about it and throwing me answer back yes or no and maybe we can work something out . like I say I live right here in Wayne county and probably less than 5 mi from where you live the way the crow flies I'm glad you came to Kentucky and Tennessee I'm so glad you're making a go of this business we definitely need new blood in this part of the country. I'm sorry to say that a lot of it got destroyed in the opium wars which I called in the war because I believe that the powers that be is pushing all of that stuff that they can trying to kill as many others as they can. I'm going off on a little tender in here but if you read the great reset they said plainly that at least 20 million needed to die and they don't care how they die where there's buy drugs or starvation or childhood disease they just want them gone anyway that's my paranoid rip for the day so glad you got to hear it instead of my wife she's tired of them haha let me know about the radios may God bless you and have a good week

[@dalewissmann6786]

Hey Bruce! I’ve been watching your channel from the very beginning when you had your diesel shop back in Florida and I just wanted to say that your have grown so much and I’ve really enjoy and always loved watching the channel. Thankyou for all the amazing videos you have put out and I will always continue to watch and support you

[@MrJonken70]

Glad to hear that You're keeping the black SCANIA as is -and not stretching it or any kind of other funny biz. Here's an idea: You should ask Ville if he would bring his chief mechanic Esa along for a visit. Now that You are getting a new mechanic at Your shop. Esa and Ville together are definetly the two guys to learn from -when it comes to SCANIA trucks. You will need to step up Your game soon when it comes -to accually keeping Your SCANIAs running. The SCANIA content is what's special to view. And that is what You should be focusing more on. Looking forward to Your project in putting a SCANIA V8 engine in a US truck. (You know that You need to custom widen the front chassis -to fit that engine between the rails right...?) All US Truck knowledge is an easy access overthere. And by the looks of things: Unfortunetly You sure seem have Your hands full with that right now...

[@boy_ka84]

My advice, just finish the current project first before buy anymore salvageable new project to start with. Same applicable system everytime in every project. Either a vehicle project or any office project. A universal system that applies to anything.

[@navahrnlaucke6194]

Thats why the boys quit 😅 Bruce doesn't listen and there over it

[@somedankboi6093]

Yeah, I’ve been dying to wait on progress on the white and black Scanias, and yet he’s keeps finding new stuff to film like the “will it start” things or other salvage projects that I have little interest in. I’m here for the USA Scania content and nothing else, if I want to watch people discovering old stuff and “will it start” stuff I have other channels for that kinda content. Bruce seriously needs to focus on the Scania content that very few people do in the US TLDR: MORE SCANIA CONTENT, DANGIT

[@toddm.7746]

​@somedankboi6093 I was here for his original cab over content years ago. That changed too...

[@kalh.9241]

Glad to hear your brother will be a part of KZbin again. He seemed to be a nice guy. I miss my brothers.

[@falksweden]

I'd say that you need better structure regarding the videos and projects. A playlist for every project and clearer video titles. Today it's hard to follow the projects and know what each video contains. A video may have "scania" in the title and thumbnail but be about 80% other stuff. It's not wrong video wise to have multiple projects ongoing, but it has to be clearer for the viewers what's going on. And they need to be finished. Everyone want to see the finished project. And it's probably easier for you too having more focus and less ongoing projects everywhere in the shop, and mind. It'll be great! 👍

[@1957rickster]

Yes, he needs guidance.

[@jonlogger]

Hey Bruce your Scania has landed , I guess a few days to get it cleared, really looking forward to see you getting it home

[@16480287]

Bruce , Your on the right track , stick to the salvage business and have mechanics dedicated to that , remember that's what pays the bills , If possible have a dedicated crew for projects, and you tube ,looks like they will always be busy ! you supervise all !

[@johnmartin2464]

For those that are interested, the latest update of the new Scania truck. MV Lydden is off the coast of Nova Scotia passing Halifax and will be arriving Baltimore 26/11/2024. Like the content, keep up the good work.

[@gregoryscott9767]

she came into Halifax today

[@kevkoala]

Glad the black Scania is mostly staying how it is apart from the repairs it needs here or there as well as the manualisation of the gearbox. Them Scanias are fkn good trucks, buses and coaches as they can handle Australian conditions no probs. If they can do that, then there's no probs with the US!

[@robertweigandt9449]

Great job Bruce keep family first!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@WorkingwithNiko]

Hey, Bruce. I don't know if anyone already suggested it, but if you're putting a Scania engine in a Peterbilt, why not install the air suspension and controls from Scania as well. I'm no expert on American trucks (I'm Norwegian), but from what I understand the function for raising and lowering the rear axle as you can do on the Scania is not common in the US. It would be cool to see a Peterbilt with a Scania rear axle setup.

[@mrstyle_67]

Hey Bruce I been following you now for probably I don’t know maybe two years or so and I really like the way you’ve changed your content and the the direction you’ve taken . I think it’s very smart move of you to really consider the depth of the businesses if you have the opportunity to work in up there especially as prominent as the Fitzgerald name seems to be up there in Tennessee. My gosh do they own half of Tennessee and seems like they have a businesses after businesses after businesses . Will continue to follow you and wish you well in all your future endeavors

[@binlaggin0000]

I call, part out the White Truck. There really is no reason to have two scanias running at the same time. Use the white one to make the black one Perfect (manual tranny, maybe even a tandem drive?). Use griffs powerplant and transmission for said peterbilt swap, that would be really sick! In the end its your call tho man! Do what you think is best for yourself and your business! Cheers from Germany

[@icare7151]

I have started and ran multiple companies as balance is a must. I will send you my resume, you need to spend as much time as possible with your family.

[@stansdds]

Family first, that is extremely important and needs to be your number one priority. Make good memories with your family.

[@mikeg7843]

Yeah, been watching this slow car wreck of a channel since the start 😂 You’re always one good idea away from stardom.. good luck 🤘🏼

[@leroygunderson4885]

Bruce it’s good to see you spending time with your family, do what makes you happy,where your passion is , you know where your fans are .Thanks for the great content, looking forward to the new season of you and yours , Happy thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!!

[@DannyDan2k13]

Defo keep the black Scania how it is and just finish doing it up with the new turbo and what not. You should rebuild the white Scania, it wasn't it that bad condition. If you get the parts sent over from Ylivoimala then one of your new mechanics could have that back together in a matter of days. Then since the frame of that truck has already been hacked up you could use the white truck as a base to stretch the frame and do a US style euro build you mentioned a while ago. Part out the red truck to feed the other two and rebuild it's drivetrain to put in an old Pete would be another really cool build

[@norfolksouthernes44acgevo40]

Bruce please dont part out the white truck, Keep griff as a parts truck, But please keep the white truck and black truck as a pair!

[@nzxt1234]

THIS!

[@yuriboykakak]

If it was up to me I would have kept the black truck automatic and fixed up the white truck, so I could have both transmission systems even though I love em old scania manual. Those 164 is rare with automatic here in Norway

[@Joep736]

Bruce, the gearboxes in the scanias are a manual box with auto change, you should just be able to unbolt the change over units on top of the gearbox, obviously the pedal and pipes aswell but any half decent mechanic should be able to do it pretty easy

[@MRJ-lo6xx]

Will be cool to see your brother back on the channel. Trying to balance youtube,your business and family time would be hard. Great to see you with your son (im sure you spend plenty of time with your wife and kids as its private time its not videod.) kids grow so fast and you can miss so much.

[@bradhigh8137]

I considered buying that orange and cream 359 earlier this yr when I saw she had it on Marketplace, ended up finding a different 359 south of Raleigh NC that I ended up getting beginning of August. Love that orange and cream tho, nice truck

[@flatspot4736]

Thanks for the update brother. You sound like you got a plan on the direction you need to go. You got a good head on your shoulders and remember, sometimes change is a good thing. I know you'll make it work. 😎✌️

[@tomnellis]

Congratulations man you're doing what you need to for you and your family. We're all just figuring It Out. Full speed ahead Jim, we're giving her all she's got!

[@kingsmithisking1902]

V8 379 flat top be big pimpin Bruce!!!!! Do the aluminum dash would be cool to see and be something that would last to hand down to your boy! Best of luck!!!

[@Taino871]

I wish the boys the best of luck, But moving forwards to bigger and better things. LETS GO.

[@Dumby1._.]

been watching Bruce for a long time. Back when he was working with ice man and way before that even. Support from Wisco

[@lennarttibbelin6976]

Bruce, more Amber and Scania. All the best. Lelle

[@kens6437]

Good luck with the future endeavors! I wish you success!!

[@wirenut003]

Hey man best of luck on the new higher octane business, my advice is keep your money in one or two baskets, this way you will see growth in your company.

[@dodgezilla1012]

The LRB dashes are pretty cool. You won’t have to worry about the dodge plastic anymore, but they definitely don’t look stock if your trying to keep it that way

[@GeorgeMcNally]

I don't know shit about trucks, salvage, Scania...whatever. I do like watching your videos and learning stuff though. My advice..........do what make you and your family happy. Everything else is secondary.

[@outlaw9200]

bought everything finished nothing, nothing has changed on this channel

[@Angora1908]

I was never into burnout trucks,cars,motorcycles. What a good content for me is to show like repairs,them Fitzgerald trailers, towing and taking things apart. I’m just saying. And that’s all I have to say about this subject😂 like when are you going to work on that orange Pete? 😊

[@rogersittnikow]

Happy to hear you'll keep the black Scania as is. Maybe you could call it 'Black Betty' as in the song by Ram Jam. Put the white Scania back together enough to keep as a roller and only part out Griff. My suggestion is to focus on the Scania stuff for KZbin and rest if your effort on the salvage business. "The American Scania/Euro truck guy" is what differentiates you from the masses.

[@greg10469]

You need some pallet racking of sorts to get stuff off the shop floor and get organized better...IMO

[@Sp1k3Sp13g3l_]

To be honest I came to your channel because of the rebuild of the white truck with the black and red stripe.. back in the day. One project at the time brother.. and finish it

[@WVT0587]

Bruce said this was a heart to heart video, but I would say it’s more of a cry for help video. He just basically made an advertisement video trying to sale parts and vehicles and etc.

[@PatrickHeaney-u3u]

Seems like you are more focused. Good luck it was needed!

[@bossluigi92]

Them chassis were not a good buy in my opinion, shame you're stuck with em bud. I've said it before, but I think you need to plan and focus your content a bit more. Sitting down and writing a plan for what you wanna do, and when would be really good for you. Doing things on the fly is just stress for you. Great to see your boy in the video, makes me smile because it makes me think of the things I get up to with my boy

[@k.y.kconstruction1323]

Instead of having a filmer and “mechanic” just get 2 good mechanics that do custom work and you be the filmer

[@joecummings1260]

Finding good mechanics to hire is a nightmare. Lots of mechanics out there, but they are all like chain store mechanics

[@nzxt1234]

the Lydden ship had an ETA on ships tracker fir the 26 th and i saw it going to wards mainland is it there yet ? Did you guys pick it up ?

[@GillRigged]

I'm guessing the giveaway will be the Freightliner Argosy

[@Anto_Levo_Mtb]

I think 2 videos a week is enough, worked great before. Main thing is be happy with what you do. Pity im in ireland or id have done some video for you

[@Martinez-elcompa]

Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I like your videos. I laugh a lot with your baby because every time you make a video he is behind you or sometimes he is bored. Try to buy him a remote control car to keep him entertained. 🤣✌️

[@edwardgrafton4663]

Hey Bruce I think that you should finish some off the projects that you already have before you start any more projects because if you have more projects sitting around the first projects will never be finished.

[@nigelhales874]

Having your brother working for you now with you helping be great to have new macanic,s lots of unfinished projects out with the old in with the new interesting video can't wait for Scania to arrive

[@puteraslayer]

Hye Bruce hope you and your family have a great day and keep your health up. I love watching you and the crew making video. And I love watching your SCANIA video. Hope your new people that will help you on your video. From Malaysia 🇲🇾. Keep on trucking.

[@JasonPeever]

There's a company out in California called. Just dashes. We'll make a - for any kind of vehicle you want. Check it out

[@Briceon]

This should be seen

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Awesome shop u have Bruce

[@JordanBlankenship-c9f]

Throw a big block with a blower in one of those tractors. My neighbor did it and uses it for parades and it’s the baddest and loudest tractor ever 😂

[@navahrnlaucke6194]

Dude im from Australia and we love putting modern dash boreds in cars... if your into that idea, theres definitely going to be chopping and some plastic or fibreglass work but have a sus on KZbin

[@SassyToll]

Looking forward to the new Scania Bruce . Best of luck with the business 👏 John Ireland 🇮🇪

[@NathanHamilton-g9w]

Family always first you have it all with them enjoy I miss it mine grew up to fast love ya brother keep it up Bruce your a great role model

[@glen511]

I never thought you would fill that garage. But it is getting there. Lol

[@toddwilliams8550]

Bruce you got it going on Brother Man, I'm going to try again on a truck giveaway!!! Love Ya Man Y'all take care!!!

[@DanMottram1]

Looking forward to the Sceeterbuilt!!

[@ejsingleton5936]

I think you should get one of the new international long hoods , and give it the taxi treatment, Nobody has done that on KZbin, And take the drop deck and start making trips to pick up equipment like you used to , That’s the content your missing .

[@Lifewiththeredmons]

Hey just came today to say happy Thanksgiving brother to you and your family from me and my family

[@AlanSextonVT]

I've not commented before, but I'm a longtime sub/viewer who loves the content and is looking forward to following your promising future. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Bruce,

[@larsw4428]

Hi Bruce, good luck with your new chapter…😀

[@Machines.In.Action]

5:21 - Your son’s future reaction: Dad had a Lamborghini... and SOLD it?

[@13thTechnology]

Haha, true! Bruce might have to delete all evidence of the Lamborghini from his archives just to avoid that future 'Why did you sell it, Dad?!' conversation! 😂

[@DieselAddict-vs9fc]

Flat nasty was my favorite truck 😢 atleast its going to greg👌 you already know the will it starts always bring good views

[@Briceon]

Pretty stoked that greg is getting it. Ngl, I've been less interested in his content lately. Hoping this brings it back

[@ergotot45]

Changes his plans and has re-sets almost as often as that 'ole Gentry boy...........

[@Briceon]

Make the white scania more americanized... Do some dual stacks and lights/wheels etc

[@aleksisoukkala]

Save the white Scania because it is perfect for full show build sense frame needed repaint anyways.

[@rodneyrote6261]

Spending money finally caught up to him

[@George-i7p]

Take your jealousy and envy somewhere else you bitter batch

[@JeffMartin-r3b]

Hey Bruce how are you doing today my love watching the video of you and I like the way you explain things to your viewers in the videos and I content

[@t_crom]

really enjoyed the blue collar flat nasty solo build days

[@bigmikeohlinger6218]

Get the aluminum dash and paint , wrap or powder coat it

[@crookedeyeproductions5805]

So the aluminum dash they are slick!

[@carsondw]

I want to say keep up the good work

[@williambowers5783]

Can't wait for the new content

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Bruce

[@brianbaca2074]

I've been watching since the og flat nasty build...

[@royburgess4720]

I love what you are doing mat and I love you trucks

[@Noelzsazsa]

The Pete is an awesome banger good luck with anything new you take up

[@tnolan3176]

Heard this story before !

[@highwayhobo]

Collacutt Energy in Alberta Canada has drivetrains brand new and Scania USA can help you with your Pete project but how about a V8 in a IH 9900?

[@goldhunter9641]

Pittsburgh Power would possibly buy some of the Cummins engines you have and some of the other big truck parts also

[@davidstanleyjr8054]

The blue Scania arrives in Baltimore tm cant wait too see it

[@JordanBlankenship-c9f]

Lower that white scania and put black rims on it and make it a show truck. It’d be the baddest truck

[@lloydrobinson7081]

keep the clips coming

[@Magicman1989]

Damn Bruce you got a damn gold mine there! I always wondered why you were spending so much money but it’s your money!!!!! Good video though and your son is funny!!!!!

[@puteraslayer]

If the white Scania you restore it it should be a great project and ask you friend (MALA) at Scanivia to help you. Just and idea. It will boost your video and people from euro and UK and Malaysia love watching it. Just and idea.

[@jasonreynolds4951]

Should do the dash in like a dark wood effect it should it would look nice in that truck with the colour of the seat.

[@JeronWhite]

Nice pete

[@Justjbear]

Love the channel and fixed my tractor with watching videos hope for some great stuff bud.

[@BadAndUgly]

Try making the white Scania a viewers project where people can send parts or donate money for it putting it together.

[@paulturner1951]

hey Bruce what's the name of the company making the aluminum replacement dashes for the dodge. i need one for my Ram 2500.

[@toddclark332]

Great to you too have a great week and Thanksgiving Bruce ❤💗uall ok later 🏁💪🏼🇺🇸

[@masoncarver460]

Like this channel and like the business moves gotta do what's best for business and your family for years to come and please no aluminum dash in the dodge those things look just as bad as a broke dash youed be better to do a 4th Gen dash swap

[@DJ-zw8kw]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@Bluestreak589]

AI (actually current tech is machine learning) has a tendency to hallucinate. While its interesting and useful.... Companies better be very careful deploying it into roles where dollars are at stake and its not being overseen by a human full time. Though I use this stuff to help write code I still have to do quite a bit of correcting to arrive at anything that's both fully functional and sufficiently decent quality for production use.

[@nigelblayney8506]

So what happened to the old macks and the band RV .. could the mack cab fit on the DHL chassis cab as a project or on too the roll back be a bit interesting project

[@XLoad3d]

Hey I don't know if it's possible but i'd like to see someone develop a old Pete dash conversion and be able to delete that stupid TV screen dash. IMO it ain't a real Pete unless it has (real) gauges everywhere on the dash.

[@destar650]

more amber please!!!

[@kasa3121]

Good luck to new start. Greetings from Finland.
