[@deepnijjar5]

Been doing trucking for 5 years now and I tell you what he did is not EASY ! Hats off bud great job

[@carlswansoniii5030]

I can't believe how one man could do a total reconstruction like this. You are a gifted person and I thoroughly enjoyed the video! Mayor, USMC 86-90.

[@MrCarmelo1959]

Dammit dammit you guys are extremely good build it from scratch new damm chassis wow I’m amazed great job

[@felixcat9318]

This was particularly impressive, especially building the frame from each individual component, and it having the original VIN. Excellent workmanship! I enjoy seeing talented Professionals taking on very comprehensive rebuilds to OEM specifications! Owners and insurance companies know they've got original build specifications and quality in every repair!

[@salvageparadise]

Thank you

[@jonathanlovell6400]

This is so cool how they rebuild these trucks. Neat

[@salvageparadise]

Thanks

After all the work was completed, looks like all that you would need to paint could be done with a rattle can... good paint in those as well, (your paint and their can) so its on the road a good two weeks ahead. I worked on logging trucks, drove mostly but never cared for the cab over so just conventional rigs. I went with my brother in law to a couple trips long haul.... it seemed like you never stopped filling out log books and when working on one once, found a stash of them tucked into a compartment that put you inside the cab cavities. Musta been twenty books back in there that were years old. While on the road and in a lower section of Roseburg... had a double corner to get back to the highway.... I made my attempt and seen that a stop sign was in line with my rear trailer wheels.... I was so frustrated that the sign just met its demise and as it folded over I was feeling real bad but as soon as the last tire went over the sign it just popped right the heck back up.... Hmm, no marks, no foul! I went back to bend in the middle rigs and stayed there for some time. Nice work on that rig and shows that just because they make new ones everyday, you can still save your own rig. I am not sure if people understand how much goes into a truck and how we kept them going as a part failed, it was redone keeping it ready and way cheaper monthly bills

[@Frankiedoodle1941]

Glad t see You had some help @ the End,Great Job Well Done Your a Credit to You Trade

Did you have any parts left over? I always have the odd bit that was probably needed somewhere... Sure gives new meaning to the phrase "frame off rebuild" -- nice work. Thank you for sharing.

I would just go to some shop, buy a new seal and reapply everything. Looks like from 2013ish freightliner stopped using primer when gluing windshield seals, thats why i think they start leaking .

But is it safe? Would you spend tens of thousands of dollars on a truck with a salvage title that is worth zero?

[@eln0n01]

@@matt89108 i mean, is it safe?? From what i can see in this video this truck was rebuilt with new parts, and you’re wrong about it being worth zero, Idk what world you love in but this isn’t the 80’s where a rebuilt meant putting bondo and hammering shit back to its its original shape, manufacturers have these manuals where it tells you WHERE TO CUT THE OLD AND ATTACH THE NEW PART, ooh ooh and they sell you the brand new part just like the one they use on them at the factory, when you finish you have the opportunity to drive a modern day vehicle for a fraction, i’d take that.?

[@matt89108]

@@eln0n01 The frame was compromised! It has a SALVAGE TITLE! With 41 years experience, there is no way I would touch that tractor, you'd have to be STUPID to do so.

European trucks are infinitely more complicated than this..which is why a truck with half as much damage as this would never be rebuilt - either exported to Russia or Africa or Greece or broken up for parts at home.
