[@jamesmallinger9555]

I love old videos and seeing the future of CTR ,LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters ❤

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks so much, God Bless you Jim.

[@lawnmowermanlawnmowerman9930]

I used to own a 74 Ranchero 500 just like the one in this video and it was a great truck. I actually hauled a 48 Dodge Meadowbrook from Justin Tx. back to West Tennessee with it and got 280 miles to a tank of fuel pulling about 8000 pounds,car ,trailer and other items loaded in the car and the bed of the truck. Mine had the 351 Cleveland engine in it.

[@chrisrobben8149]

This is why USA is the greatest country on the planet

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You won't get an argument from me on that!

[@justinwoodlee1062]

That guy's got over a million dollars worth of cars in that garage. He had a little bit of everything new old Chevy Ford Dodge everything. Now that's a heck of a car collection there. Rick love that footage keep up the good work Buddy

[@chrisrobben8149]

I had a 75' same color in high school. I miss it so much snd want another really bad. Awesome ride👍👍👍

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Let me know when you're ready, I know where a couple nice ones are!

[@bebeandjohnnotsonomadiclif5287]

That's another home run!!!!!! Thank you .

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you my Friend and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@Spartan-ry1hh]

Thanks Colin. They are very gentle dogs.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Philip Way I really do think I want one of these dogs for the Classic Truck Ranch. Annabbella could use a friend who will watch out for her. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@bradweir4442]

Wow, just wow!!!!! This is by far the best thing I will see this week. I am trying to make this family friendly, but wow!!!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Hope you enjoy

[@MrSchrum]

Thank you for everything Rick, it truly means the world to me

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Schrum Classic Trucks You deserve it Brother. You're welcome. -Rick

[@MrSchrum]

+Classic Truck Rescue when it's restored you will be mentioned in the restoration papers I've made out for it. You've been a great deal of help and I wouldn't of made anymore progress if it wasn't for you. I'm sure my Grandfather would shake your hand, I'm doing it for him and everyone that has doubted me on the restoration

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Schrum Classic Trucks That truck will be welcome out here at The Classic Truck Ranch when you get 'er done my friend. We'll leave a tent up for ya'. -Rick

[@Beth-ub3en]

Dad, said the Ranchero is the same as the Torino. He had a 1975 Gran Torino he painted it candy apple red and put a big white stipe on it with a thin dark blue stripe all around it just like Starsky and Hutches stripped tomato. LOL Dad got the exact specs for it from my our aunt who worked for Universal Studio's at the time. Great Video!! So happy you posted another one!!! May God Bless!!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Beth Walters Pretty cool that he was able to go directly to the source for his specs. I actually suggested that Robert paint the Ranchero red with the white 'Starsky-stripe". Thank you Beth and thanks fer stoppin by again. Tell Dad we said hello. -Rick

[@bikenut63]

Great Video guys thank you

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+bikenut63 Thank you Fer Watchin'. Glad you enjoyed it. -Rick

[@VintageTexas59]

That was very nice of helping these guys with finding car and extra help. I hope the trip to Vegas went fine, maybe even a jackpot before going back to Holland again. :)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+VintageTexas59 It was actually a very good experience for me. Fun to help someone make a trip they talk about actually happen. These guys were awesome. Very polite with great senses of humor. Fellow gearheads from another land. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@VintageTexas59]

+Classic Truck Rescue Dutch people are great, friendly and polite. Go visit Holland one time if you have a chance Rick. Thanks again for sharing this video, forgot to mention Hank's car collection, that was impressive !

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+VintageTexas59 I was truly impressed with the way these gentlemen carried themselves. Pure class. Hanks collection had me struggling to breathe. The cars were absolutely gorgeous.

[@ACA332]

You're living the dream man. What an adventure.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@Duddie82]

We have Dashound dogs, I got a doberman as a puppy, and she loves the Dashounds, and protects us, and our two Dashounds. If you get a Doberman, they will take care and no animals will dare get on your property.

[@johnnyhawkins5061]

Man I just love you both! PEACE OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[@louk231]

That was a cool video...Well done Rick !!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Lou!

[@jimmyd2519]

the first ranchero I think was a good car. a lot less work in the long run. now I want one! arrrggghhh!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Better get to looking for one. I did learn that you have to look at many a Ranchero before you find a nice one. Good ones are few and far between, but if you find one, they are pretty cool. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Yeah so hank just so happens to have a real deal GT 500 KR with rare paint option. INCREDIBLE!!! The guys from Holland will probably never see another one there whole life. I definitely like the 72 ranchero more El Camino's are more my thing though. I had a 70 and a 78 loved'em both. Thanks for bringing us with Rick

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You are probably right about them never seeing another GT500. I'm just thankful they got this opportunity. The world needs more Hanks. Thanks Fer Watchin' my Friend. -Rick

[@mariocollbarrios3984]

Starsky and hutch on country in green. Peace out my friend

[@bronc02]

Hank is my kind of car collector,not brand loyal. I like Ford products but I also like other brands.He has an awesome collection.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Roger Hall I'm on the same page. My passion is for 1955-1959 Chevy and GMC trucks, but I like all old American Steel and like a lot of European made vehicles too. Everyone has a specific brand they are more partial to, but a true Gearhead can appreciate old vehicles that are outside their particular box (without being hostile towards people who like something different). Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@bronc02]

+Classic Truck Rescue I fully agree with you and if I could afford it I would really like to get my hands another 56 chevy longbed like I had back in the seventies.I wish that I would never sold that truck.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Roger Hall You can get another one my Friend. Bargains do come along from time to time.

[@bronc02]

+Classic Truck Rescue It wouldn't do me any good.With my situation now I couldn't afford a down payment on a free lunch.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Roger Hall Hope things get better my Friend.

[@robineggb]

great video once again. thank you.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Kell Alexander Thank you for stopping by the Classic Truck Ranch again. -Rick

[@t.w.milburn8264]

'mornin, Rick & Jamie; That my Friends was a wonderful video ! So cool seeing someone from abroad getting to come & Pick-Up A Prize ! Loved Hank's Collection as well. Thanks 4 another great episode, Friends ! ATB Terry God Bless

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+T.W. Milburn (skillet210) Thank you my Friend. Always a pleasure to hear from you again. I loved Hank's collection as well and really appreciated him sharing it with my guests. I was just surrounded by very neat people. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@dennisjones1642]

That was Awesome, Friends from Netherlands 🤝♥️

[@frap6790]

You guys are very gracious hosts, thank you for sharing it was nice to see.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+A truck Named Stella Probably one of the funnest times we've had making a video. Really enjoyed meeting these guys and making it all come together. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@nitrosport5]

now that I'm all the way through the video, that has to be the ultimate way to get yourself an American car for our overseas friends. must be so cool to come buy a car and road trip it a while before having it shipped home.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+nitrosport5 It was actually a lot of fun on my end too. Robert and I have been talking about his 'American Vacation" for a couple years. One thing to talk about it, quite another thing to see it all come together. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@vetterfellow]

No what your sayin Rick, I needed to clean my floor of drool after seeing all those lovely machines. Jamie you looked pretty cool up on top of Jet. I think that's the first time I saw anyone riding him. Didn't know you had a saddle for him. Annabella was giving Robert tongue in the Rancho OOOOO !!!. Seems like a couple of swell guys. I don't know but this CTR seems to be the most interesting yet. Thanks Rick fer the eye candy.... Angelo

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+vetterfellow Thank you Angelo. I hear ya'. I was having a hard time catching my breath when we were looking at Hank's amazing collection. Put a lot of time and effort into making this one. I figured my viewers needed to have some fun after watching us work our tails off for the last 7 or 8 months. We'll be taking to the road in the next few videos to stretch our legs and round up some cool stuff. Thanks Fer Watchin' Again. -Rick

[@truckstractorswildlifeguns6648]

Love Y'all video s ,I'm hooked on them Used to have a GMC 2 ton gravel dump truck. 305 ci v6 from the 60s.got a 57" f 600 292 v8 ,was a daily driver, still runs ,just semi retired it in 2015.

[@bigghoss762]

When I was 16 my first car was a '74 Ranchero GT 400m V8 and a C6 trans. Had that car for about 11 years until it got totaled in 2011.

Nice job Rick, do your customers right and you make a friend for life. I bet you will get a ton of business from overseas now, great job!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Earnharvick Thank you my Friend. I had a lot of fun putting this "American Vacation" together and it was a very rewarding experience. I'd like to do it again. Thanks Fer Stoppin' by again. -Rick

[@aussmash]

That old guy has some really cool cars! Thanks for sharing. Loved the Mustangs.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Hulk SMaSH He sure does. He's a really neat guy too. Pretty cool of him to share with us like that. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@harryireland1935]

Really nice Ranchero. Love the color too!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Robert really loves it. He has sent me photos and videos of it making its way down the West Coast. I will include some of them at the end of my next video. Thanks Again. -Rick

[@groundhog180]

Only catching the first half hour tonight. Funny watching the dog having a lickfest on Robert! We had a 1974 and 1977 El Caminos one with canopy. That first Ranchero especially looks real good shape. I could deal with the interior ratty to have the rest be that solid. Look forward to viewing the rest of this tomorrow!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Lee Gathers Yes, I was on the same page. Pretty easy to replace the interior when you know all the outside needs is a scuff and spray. Thanks Fer Stoppin' by again Lee. -Rick

[@groundhog180]

Saw the rest tonight Rick. That guy had some serious value in that collection! Glad your friends had a good time....Thanks for sharing.

Wonder why you guys weren't posting, now I know ,well worth the wait. Keep On Keeping On

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Jim Krueger Yeah, sometimes it takes awhile to tell the whole story. Thanks Fer Watchin' again Jim. -Rick

[@normstephens8354]

Great video Rick! My aunt bought a 1972 Ranchero Squire new and we took it on a fishing trip up through Canada right after she bought it. Seldom did we stop someplace that we didn't have a crowd gather around it for a look. It would pass anything it needed to pass with the 351 Cleveland. Looks like they used a Pinto shifter to convert this one to a floor shift. I'd be on the lookout for a Torino Gran Sport hood for it if it were mine.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Norm Stephens I really DO like the look of the '72. Also agree with you that it needs the hood treatment. Thank you my Friend and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@bradweir4442]

wow, after all these years, i have not seen this. Holy Sh#t that is amazing!!!!

[@Specrotors]

Rick's twin came to visit lool...Cool guys!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Nigel Wankel I KNOW!....I was pretty surprised when I picked them up at the airport. I'd been talking with him on the phone for years and had a completely different picture of him in my mind. Both of these guys were really great and it was a pleasure to be able to spend time with them. Thanks Fer Watchin' Nigel. -Rick

[@thunderstruck01rocks]

got myself a 1973 ranchero 500, just a classic automobile

[@cartman668222]

that car collection is amazing hes one lucky guy

[@jayallenbrand8857]

Rick, Second thoughts are sometimes better. As for my comments about the second Ranchero, I spoke too soon, realizing it few minutes later. I've had this kind of thinking go both ways over the years. Upon a first look at a vehicle right away thinking it was a junker. Then later on after much thought, went back intending to buy only to find it had been sold. Yes, I too see the crusher as an enemy. I hate seeing so many cars and trucks being sent to the crusher. I enjoy all of your videos, and look forward to seeing more of them. Jay

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you Jay. Lots more videos coming.Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@moonlighting44]

you and the misses make great videos this one is.better than a movie..the green ranchero look sharp..you guys are so hospitable to your foreign guests...give yourselves a pat on the back.. thansk for showing the collection of the second ranchero guy.he seemed like a down to earth dude like you guys.i would had never suspect he had all those good cars tucked away......your little guy is so friendly looks like toto in the oz shows....much appreciated watching your video.thanks and cheers from up the coast in vancouver canada..cheers eh...ken

[@barryedwards1336]

Nice video Rick & Jamie, you did your Dutchmen friends real proud in finding them those Ranchero's, I noticed two other things also, now that the ranch is loosing it's drab winter coat what a big difference that new green spring/summer coat makes, it really brings out the look of the ranch, also I see Annabella is in full training in becoming the ranch's guard dog, you will have to put a sign at the entrance, WARNING! Loose Vicious Guard Dog Enter At Your Peril, she sure put bigfoot in his place LOL. UK Barry & FLO

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+barry edwards I love and hate the new foliage. Love it because I think I may have mowed down a bit more than needed when we did the initial clearing/ Hate it because I have to keep moving trucks to mow beneath them. Good news is we seem to have accidentally done something right with the roads. Nothing growing up where we put rock, just have to keep the edges clear. Guess I need to make a second, graveled parking area for the parts trucks and move all the complete trucks into the main parking area. We'll get it straightened-out and organized. Just good to be living here and having a place to call home. Thank you UK Barry and Flo and Thanks Fer Watchin' Again. -Rick

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+G20 Can We Fix It Thank you my Friend. I was a bit awestruck by Hank's collection myself. A very cool guy and it was awesome of him to share that with us. I had absolutely no idea what I was walking into and am very grateful to be able to share that experience with some Friends from across the globe. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@jayallenbrand8857]

Rick, Looks like you did a great job of it for your overseas visitors. Those Rancheros seem to be hard to come by. The second one though, looked more like a candidate for the crusher. Jay

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It is surprisingly hard to find any that are still in good condition. The second one was not as nice as the first one, but I do believe it was way too good to be a crusher candidate...but then, the crusher is my enemy. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@djjb420]

I Love this "Classic Truck Rescue" Rick you have an Amazing Collection of Classical Trucks!! The Awesome Gentleman & A Vietnam Veteran & Animal Rescuer of any Animal that is in NEED!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you my Friend. I agree, Hank is one heck of a great guy. Pretty cool of him to share his collection with us. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@bradmedhurst8158]

Hey Rick. That rancheros is awesome, looked at a few of them 76 myself when I was looking for my first car. They were not in bad shape but not in the shape that that truck is in either. I ended up buying a mercury, 1977 cougar xr7. Looking forward to your next video. Have a good one

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you Brad, and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@nitrosport5]

man oh man, my jaw was dragging the floor watching that guys collection. not like he has a dozen or so old cars, he has a dozen or so pristine old cars! a guy can only dream lol

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+nitrosport5 He totally blindsided me with that collection. I was NOT expecting that. It was really great of Hank to share that with my visitors and I. I'm grateful that they were able to experience that. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

Fantastic vid bro, my tongue is still on the ground after seeing those gorgeous mint cars that guy had especially the Chevy's. Not really a Ford fan but that Cobra was nice.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

The 55 Chevies stole my breath.....the Mustangs were too awesome to not appreciate. Hank has some amazing machines and he is one cool dude. Thanks Ken and Thanks Fer Watchin'...-Rick

Very nice condition for a Ranchero of that vintage.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+n cbuck Thank you my Friend. Spent a lot of time working on this one and put a lot of work into the content. Thanks Fer watchin'. -Rick

[@roger628]

Hi, I love your show and I'm a first time poster here. Just a couple of observations. I'm pretty sure that car is a '75 or '76, as told by the steering wheel. The '74 wheel is different, it has straight spokes instead of the drop-off type. That said, it definitely should be a 351M, as the '74 was last year for the Cleveland. From 1975, there were no 4-barrel 351s built, until the mid 80s when Ford returned to it on their 351 Windsor trucks. The shots of the dash surprised me, as this car has the Auto-temp AC system, like a Lincoln has. This is kind of a surprising high buck option for an otherwise low option car. It was $100 more than the manual AC. Another tipoff was when the seller said that you had to wait for the car to warm up before the fan turns on. This is way they are designed, its a thermostatically controlled system. My parents had a '76 Elite (Gran Torino) with this system, which went on the fritz before the car was 2 year old. Frankly, I would rather have the manual system as it can be diagnosed and repaired more easily.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Your knowledge of these cars is impressive. You are correct, Robert's green Ranchero is infact a '76. I got a bit confused because I had been looking at so many of them. I will pass the information you provided on to my Friends. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@gosportjamie]

That's a nice, original unmessed-with truck. You can see it hasn't been hacked around and bodged up like so many vehicles of that age. I would imagine when it comes to sorting the air conditioning out he'll need to pull the whole system down as I'm pretty sure The Netherlands, like the rest of Europe, outlawed the old R12 refrigerant years ago so it will need to be upgraded to be compatible with R132a refrigerant. I have to say those 351 Windsor engines do have a distinctive, nice throaty soundtrack to them...

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+gosportjamie I think the condition can be attributed to the fact that the original owner was disabled and kept the car under a carport from 1974-2012. You're right though, most cars from that era tend to be hacked-up. It was a rare find as far as condition goes. You are correct about the A/C, good news is that Robert has all the components. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' Again. -Rick

[@gosportjamie]

Classic Truck Rescue There's no doubt about it, when you're buying an old car you really want to get one that's been owned by a caring owner who has had or done the work properly rather than bodging it up to keep it on the road. Again, thanks for posting...

[@ericlakota6512]

Wow is there anything that Rick can't do?Man you are awesome,I love your religious beliefs as well! PEACE OUT!!!!!

[@gosportjamie]

If Robert restores Fiats for a living he's not going to be afraid of making his own repair panels as panels for a lot of Fiats aren't widely available, and often not at all, and Fiats in northern Europe rust like crazy. I started off my career with a Fiat main dealer and you got pretty used to seeing 3-4 year old cars that resembled a Tetley teabag (they used to be advertised as having 2000 perforations "to let the flavour flood out" lol...)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+gosportjamie Tetley teabag /Funny. I think you are correct. I don't think Robert will have any trouble putting the second Ranchero right. Thank you. -Rick

[@gosportjamie]

Classic Truck Rescue I hope we'll get to see them running and driving around The Netherlands, and being enjoyed as they deserve...

[@docpedersen7582]

As I recall reading up on the 351M (got one in my 78 F250 4x4) the M(odified) is a hybrid between the Cleveland with 400 heads on it. (Maybe to deal with the Cleveland habbit of randomly bending lifters?) My only objection to it (on my F250) is that it's such a THIRSTY BEAST! Best mileage I could get was about 12 MPG.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Heck....12MPG is pretty good.

[@marcusheinn2321]

nice cars

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I had a 77 Ranchero with a 351 Cleveland. That thing got rubber in all three gears with an automatic. Fun car to drive but went thru a lot of rear tires!

Its really funny out of all that happened in this video, i now want a Chrysler Crossfire :P

Also speaking of options, in addition to the gauge package, it appears to have a lockable inside hood release, does it? If so, it has the "protection group' option which is rare enough that I've never one outside of a brochure. Also, the dual chrome mirrors indicate that this had the '"convenience group" This option also included interval wipers, I'll just bet that if you turn the wiper knob to the left of "off", it will do so and you'll be in interval mode, and you adjust the length of the wipe cycle by turning farther left.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It does have the 'Protection Group". I do know that the wipers are interval as well. I found that out when I couldn't get them to turn of by turning the knob all the way to the left. One click to the right and they disappeared beneath the hood. Thanks again. -Rick

Great video. Loved the car collection. I rather see them like that then in a car show any day. You need to be careful though. Too many more Fords and you will have to change your name to Classic Junk Rescue.

+Jeremy Phillips My sickness is not limited to Chevy and GMC. I do not really care for Rancheros myself. I think I may have alluded to that fact several times in the video. That said, it IS an old American vehicle. In amazing condition. The new owner loves it and will undoubtedly turn it into a beautiful machine and lavish it with tons of attention. For me, that's what its all about. Stay tuned for the video of the Mark IV I wound up with when I had already purchased it and retrieved when Robert decided he wanted a Ranchero. Bought it from a Lady who ordered it new with her late husband on their 25th wedding anniversary. It is in nearly mint condition. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

When Robert has to leave you get it.

[@glennbelldc1651]

It also seems annabella likes rancheros and the guys in them. lol cant wait for more classic truck rescue road trips.good luck godbless

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Glenn Bell Thank you Glenn. I really liked the 53 Chevy too. I thought it was very tastefully done. Thanks Again Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@thepyrodude]

Cool I have my eye on a 74 rancho perfect body decent interior but no engine I can get it for 450 bucks

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jump on it.....Let me know if you need an engine and Tranny. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@1juanitosully]

You're not The Dude; there's only one The Dude, dude.

[@thepyrodude]

And your not the Juan lmao

[@IsaiahM494]

The Dude I got one that has no engine and needs work. Paid 450 as well

[@thepyrodude]

ToyotaFan 1989 that's a a decent price for one if it's not rusty and to beat up...the guy never did sell the one he bought just for the engine...I could probably get it for 250 or 300 bucks now but I've got no room for another project at the moment lol

[@pcbvwaterland]

I really enjoyed your video. Especially cause the Netherlanders in this one :) Keep going !! Greetings from the Netherlands

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Frank Voorderhake GREETINGS! Your countrymen were a pleasure to spend time with. Two really good guys. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@jameshengl5230]

Rick the wheels on the green ranchero are american racing outlaw 2. Those where a great score as well. The wheels on the second ranchero are torque thrust wheels. Good luck to Robert fixing up the second ranchero. Rick&Jamie are you going to pick up the fire truck this year? Looking forward to the next new video Rick &Jamie.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

We are picking up the 58 GMC Fire Truck from Minnesota in June. I Have to take Homer up to North/Central Washington this week to retrieve a 1956 GMC Fire truck. It needed savin'....we are most-definitely coming to Minnesota in June, and would love to meet you when we're there. We may bring Homer, depending on how he does with the 56. -Rick

[@Ben.jack.in.off.to.you1]

as soon as i see Ranchero i click the video because roadkill.

[@stacyphillips7626]

not sure exactly. It is the 55-59 and I see the hole in the hood for the gmc emblem. It is parked in their back yard. It used to be under a temporary carport but the canvas has gone away. You might even be able to get the carport frame from them.It is the costco style, nothing fancy.You can see the truck from the road. It is dark green. It is on Bendameer road. I think that area is considered portland but it is just outside of hillsboro about 10 minutes from Hillsboro stadium.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Jeremy Phillips Its a 55-57 GMC if it has the hole for the hood emblem. Is it a pickup or a big truck?

[@legorailroader844]

Well its not often we see you speechless, but of course we don't see a collection like that often.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I was havin' trouble breathing....I just wanted to shut the camera off and hug Hank's cars....beautiful machinery and a real cool guy. You kind'a had to be there. Yes...my tongue was tied...Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
