International Cabover Tow Truck - Project Heavy Metal Paint & Body - Stacey David's Gearz S13 E2

[@darrenwhite544]

This was my favorite build on the show then copperhead

[@billmoore3209]

I like all of your shows. I like all of the builds but I think my favorite build is heavy metal. That thing is so cool

[@garygraham4571]

Awesome job bro beautiful truck

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Thanks 👍

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

Cool GMC pickup truck and you should be very proud of yourself for a job well done 👏 ✔️ 👍

[@the.porter.productions]

Greetings from the Ohio Porters. This rig, even with just the cab, is jaw-dropping -awesome! 🥰 They did a top notch job for you. It’s May 2021...I have an old 51 REO wrecker that I’m hoping to get it goin this year...motor, trans, new hubs, wheels, paint, stretching the frame a bit and upgrading to air, etc. My dad purchased this truck new, so it deserves my respect and love. I have a 16 & 14 year old that want to help me, so it will be a learning process for all of us. Stacey, and I hope you read this, I am really diggin the RAZZLEBERRY color on this truck! 😎 You have inspired me. I haven’t seen your show in years and I’m not sure you’re still doing any specials, but I need all the inspiration I can get! I’m gonna finish watching this truck and research how to stay in touch with what you’re doing. Looking forward to more on this wrecker. This is my motto...”Make the trip but don’t forget to enjoy the ride.” And I want to enjoy my ride!!! 😎 Maybe I can send you a picture of my truck. Thanks again! 🤩

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I love the paint job on the truck and the lettering and graphics are AWESOME 👌 👏 👍

[@collinsmith9941]

This thing is so sweet.

[@Ulfstigandr]

I couldnt believe it when i walked in and saw this cab sittin in the shop. I got really exhited, but then this only now pops back up.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

Great choice for clearance lights (roof lights)a lot of trucks have those

[@jcwar6753]

I know people bitch about the custom built stuff and how expensive fabrication is but I like seeing these projects. I'd never be able to rebuild one of these monsters by myself but man they are cool as hell.

[@billjohnson717]

I think you could JC. Never say never

[@doubleaaaron]

Love this show! I use to watch it with my dad on tv. I was starting to think heavy metals progress wasnt going to continue, but I'm glad to see it is back.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

What I want to see is what you are going to do with the engine that you pulled out of the International, that will be so cool 😎

[@francisjaniewski5990]

Gorgeous paint job on that cabover.

[@countryboyscooter3402]

Looks like a life sized Hot Wheels!!! I love it!!!!!

[@1990hondarc30]

You're one of the best Stacey, stay humble Brother. Like to be lucky enough to meet you someday.

[@nicbeckett7946]

Its so cool to see this old truck back in the shop hopefully it will get finished

[@haroldlightner3816]

It did year's ago

[@kennetharcherjr1973]

I was definitely one of ones wondering what happened to it. It really caught my attention when you drug it out of the salvage yard and began working on it. I'm glad you updated us on it.

[@phillipthethird42]

I'd love to do a project like this. Seems like everybody is doing muscle cars, but very few are doing a tow truck. It's cool!

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Awesome job!

[@hobo1452]

Man, does that bring back some memories! In 1973 I worked in Ohio for a company that custom manufactured stainless steel food service equipment and then transported and installed it. I was their driver and I ran all over the US in a 1972 International Cargostar cab over straight truck with a 32' box.

[@TwstedTV]

OMG - ITS ALIVE....!! - Get well soon..... Stacey :)

[@steverone7623]

Thank you for uploading these to KZbin

[@stevenjennings8347]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏

[@chuckhand8622]

Stacy, I live in Rapid City, and worked for NAPA, I have delivered lots of parts to that school, and they do some awesome stuff for sure!!!!

[@robertjenkins9747]

Absolutely beautiful build. Cab is very nice.

[@199jl]

I love this project.... such a cool truck coming together here

[@santiagocarrillo6577]

Grew up watching this show

[@galaxie500xl7]

I remember seeing this episode nearly 10 years ago. It's old.

[@nas0075]

Damn, wish I would have gone to the hot rod institute. Would have loved it, cars are my passion and building them at that skill level would be awesome. I went into auto mechanics, and regret it. Working repairing VW's at a dealer is lame. LOL

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Did someone say vws ? Mk1/2👍👍😁 I went to Ohio technical college and even got an associates in applied science there at the same time. That was 20yrs ago and I'm off in the generator field and it's been a pretty good trip so far.

[@JohnSmith-mv6bw]

Nothing needs an overhaul more than Stacy's hair!

[@jamesmorgan6782]

What is the matter? JEALOUS!

[@glencrs]

Stacey, I have a '63 Chevy cab over. The fire dept had put a box 350 into it a couple of months before they learned that there was a limit to the number of years that a fire truck can be used. The pump and big water tank was removed and I had a tread-plate floor installed and the sides cut down to pickup height with the cut edge rolled. A 5th wheel hitch was mounted in order to pull my 40' travel trailer. By leaving the Fire dept. Insignia on the doors and attaching my truck to a volunteer dept. as a parade truck, I do not have to put a tag on it. I saw what you did to the dash & seats. That will be the next project on it. The rear-end is still the slow unit. I do have a 2-speed U-Haul rear-end coming to me in order to get a higher speed out of it. I really appreciate your videos. They are a lot of fun!!!

[@jamesyork6023]

Thanks for the update on this one, always liked it, I want to do a 60’s IH pickup one day!

[@Thunderstixx77]

Growing up smack dab in the middle of Cornfield Central, SE Iowa, those Binders were a dime a dozen. I sure there are still a lot of them out there looking for a home too.

[@jamesyork6023]

Tunderstixx wish that was the case here in NC. If there are any, they’re rusted out. I’ve already got the build planned out in my head!

[@daviscraig83]

I have always loved how you are truly a gearhead! And of course that you build bad ass stuff!!!

[@toddclark332]

Love that color you used on the cab buddy it is cool

[@adubbelde1]

I saw it at the Hot Rod Institute right after the doors were painted.

[@rjl110919581]

thank you great video and share other your detail

[@b.t.3780]

Love that color.

[@titanary68]

Lol, built out of junkyard parts, minus the 25k Dmax, 10k built Allison 10k wheel and tire package and 7k custom air suspension, but yeah, totally built using junkyard parts lol. I’m not hating by any means I love this build. I watched her get started years, I mean YEARS AGO on cable tv so she’s a long time coming for the majority of us

[@mikespillman3075]

I'd love to see this project finished....you know....before i die.

[@danstrausbaugh6430]

I personally would love to know a dólar breakdown on these builds and also would be interested in knowing what and where all these vehicles go when completed… and lastly I would be curious to know what Stacy personal favorite build has been out of all the builds he’s accomplished…!!!…

[@wsfwsf1497]

The Kardashians bought the tow truck to lift their asses off the couch when it's time to eat---or make a sex tape.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool project!! 👍👍👍

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Great resources and inspiration here.

[@richardmartin8168]

SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE COMPLETE TRUCK>>>>>

[@titanary68]

Truthfully I had wished you’d have done a frame extension on it and made it a badass roll back

[@joelopez7459]

Good thing i checked the channel i was going to re-sub on the website

[@mikeadams2677]

Stacey, I don't know if you read these comments or not, but if you do, I have a request for a safety segment idea on working on elevated vehicles no matter what kind of jack or lift is used. A friend of mine was killed this year due to his car falling on him. I don't know the details of what he was doing to it, but from what I'm told he was laying under it, doing repairs and the jack broke, and car fell on him. Thank you in advance.

[@xozindustries7451]

Mike Adams I’m sorry to hear about your friend, my brother lost a buddy the same way.ever since I heard about the harbor freight jack stand recall I’ve been looking at a different option for lifting my vehicles

[@markduncan6690]

This project is seriously overstated! The ordinary layman cannot do this job!

[@arthursmith5409]

Main question: will this be a working tow truck, that we all will see workING? Or just a car show business promoter? Once the bed is paint matched, this will be one awesome tow truck. So what's the deal, Stacey?

[@jonnoblitt6537]

Love all you’ve built but who builds the guitar that matches them I’m a player and would love to know if I can obtain one????? “Keep Rockin till the cops start Knockin !!!!! God speed

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Thanks! Several different companies have built the custom guitars over the years. You can read more about them all here: staceydavid.com/projects/guitars

[@jonnoblitt6537]

@@OfficialStaceyDavid Thank you 🙏 an God Speed

[@joebufford2972]

Even though Stacy looks Hollywood, he still knows what chicken poop smells like

[@titanary68]

I dig the keg fuel tank idea but it just looks wrong on this platform. You need to build some sort of filler panel to blend the bed together. Even if you put a step down to expose the top quarter of the keg tank but squared off the bottom 3/4 it would look so so much cleaner, in my humble opinion that is

[@garygraham4571]

Hi are those tires 11r24.5 or 11r22.5 ?

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

They're 315/80R22.5

[@markanthonybergeron3897]

Did you ever finish the old tow truck?????

A TopKick is GMC / Chevy is Kodiak

[@cotynietling2567]

You don't happen to still have that international engine do you?

[@micro4329]

Sounds like he's talking about Tim the tool man talking bout accidents n knowing who to call. Lol

[@iancameron1662]

Are you going to make a model kit of this truck.YOU HAVE TO!!!!!!

[@Highgear145]

Should've went with modern LEDs for all of the lighting

[@ericnelson6982]

I don't think led's were available when these shows were taped. I believe most of these shows were taped years ago.

[@ragman069]

This had a 2019 copyright

[@dwp139]

Anyone feel the paint is almost that close to resembling what he had on the Harry Hauler

[@goose502]

I wonder when this episode was actually filmed? Are there any “new” episodes, or are these all re-posts from like 10 years ago?

[@bertgrau9246]

Was published on September 30 2020 So it's a new program

[@Ulfstigandr]

The cab was at HRI in the works bout 4 years ago. This episode can only be a few years old at most

[@historyhunter5215]

If only you knew how many of these truck,fire trucks,and propane trucks from the 50s 60s and 70s I ripped apart and crushed at work...😔

[@geneva760]

Far too often people overlook safety - I have used eye protection, ear protection gloves etc etc all my life - EXCEPT one time working on a F-CKWITS' car at my mate's workshop using a grinder without a shroud (I knew better - but risked it) - I still have the scar some 30-year later - luckily it was not an exploding wheel - it makes me SHUDDER when I see so many people using cutting wheels without a shroud. Many years ago - a mate now long gone was 'notorious' for working under a car with nothing more than a hydraulic jack - no jack stands - HA - I used to slip one under the car and would hear him swear as he let it down and the car would hit the jack stand I had quietly slipped under there. Unfortunately, a heavy car meeting a squishy human body usually means that bits that are meant to stay inside your body end up coming from the inside to the outside of your body in a catastrophic and painful way - not good. Have a nice and safe day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

[@CrankAddict]

I missed the part where Stacey cuts off his hand!

[@OfficialStaceyDavid]

Hurt it a while back on the buffer in the shop... all is well. Healed up nicely.

[@ragman069]

Good to hear.....so u can still shred on ur axe!

[@Omarllioner]

Where’s part 3???

[@tdrewman]

The Facebook page they show dates this video, early Facebook.

[@Ulfstigandr]

The cab was at the HRI only bout 4 yrs ago. This show could only be made in the last few years.
