[@dgenius6745]

I have mad respect for guys who customize aftermarket parts an make things work. Your channel reiterates that anything is possible even when it doesn't seem to be. You're a legend man💯💯💯

[@semorrison7082]

BEST.COLLAB.VIDEO.EVER!

[@bobsch-gd6ze]

What a great colab guys !!!! Cant say it enough and all the positivity and good fun/humor. Not enough of that going on in the world these days.

[@michellericard4850]

There are locks on the doors. Just use the latch that opens the door. If you pull to open, you push to lock or the other way. Lol I just showed my age 😅

[@wobblysauce]

Bingo

[@mrmoss149]

😂😂😂

[@justinwatch]

I can remember as a kid my dad had that on our truck.

[@richard3141592638]

The look on Andy's face at 58:47, and the camera work/music - really sets the tone well for the series, I think. Well done, everyone. What a great looking truck

[@docsridingadventures2880]

Glad I didn't go to bed yet

[@mrmoss149]

Right?

[@justinwatch]

Okay, go to bed now.

[@CarswithNash]

So great to see it finally move under it’s own power, pretty awesome build all in all.👍

[@dws5951]

Rich and crew .... this presentation is equal to or better than the entire Avatar movie....cinamatography and script....A effin 1.

[@jacksgarageworkshop]

Lovely work on this build getting it this far. Seeing all the fabrication work is great, you don’t get that on TV.

[@Mishadbull]

This build series brings back memories of wrenching with some my best friends. Stupid motorcycle projects, silly car things, even landscaping and building projects. Thank you for reminding me of better days. Someday I'll get a dumb project again and drag a buddy into mashing a finger or two with me.

[@fonhollohan2908]

That was quite the list you had to take care of there. Nice lookin little Truck..Riche. .definitely got to throw a windshield into her, those things are a royal pain to install. You boys did a fabulous Job.

[@shephusted2714]

rich did drive a brand new apache to high school - this is sentimental rebuild for him

[@aussiefirestorm]

Herculean effort to get that rig built on a driveway. Well done to all involved. I wish I could drive a ute as cool as that one.

[@larrydavidson3402]

Lots of good people on this build for sure. It runs and moves, great job guys.

[@tdotw77]

Looking good Rich! I love the...'that's future Rich's problem' saying. Hopefully clutch wont affect the brake pedal\switch. Keep on wrenching 🔧👍🔥

[@archstanton9206]

That first time the new build moves...even a few feet...on its own is a moment that you get to keep forever...I have a few of them, but the best was in 1981, when, after starting with a Chicken coop in 1973, Dad and I fired up the stroker flathead in the 40 Ford sedan and took it for a spin. Last licensed in 1960... Fresh black lacquer paint, him sitting behind the wheel on a cut down folding chair, and me on a couple cases of oil, holding a jerry can of gas between my legs, the fuel line going out the cowl vent to the 3 Stromberg 97s we had built from cores....hitting the pavement and seeing 35 years melt off of him in a smile I will never forget..I am sure I had one too. He passed two years later...but the car is still here, with me...

[@Brodrdude97]

Just got my my budget ls swap 75 chevy to start today.

[@tomcleghorn4005]

Wow. Rich you truly inspire us folks too get out there and get dirty!

[@genericdynamics6618]

- I'm only ten years older than you > Are you really? - How old do you think i am? > I don't know, you work really hard Gold.

[@mikelaidmanchevyboy6763]

Wow Rich, this 55 is so bad to the bone!!!!! I look forward to each and every installment of the build. I love everything you guys have done to this sweet old girl, so happy to hear it run and move under it's own power..... keep up the great work. Thanks

[@williambehles7704]

I would rate this build as the coolest one I've seen, no question about it! Personally not a great fan of patina, rather see a single stage paint job, but excellent concept as well as execution. Great Job Guys!

[@gwh21375]

This channel has really grown on me over the last year. Loving it!

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

Pump up the jam - technotronic. Whilst pumping the brakes , awesome !

[@timwinkle2503]

Love watching this build. I have a 66 with very similar mods. I use the key for ignition & installed a start button where the cigarette lighter used to be... 😀

[@JohneeB]

" Oh that's not hot" " Whoa, that's hot!"

[@mrmoss149]

😂😂😂

[@stephenmaggard1280]

Don't blame Harbor Freight for your Home depot compressor :)

[@farmerbill6855]

Great crew Rich. It must be a dream to work with guys like that. Best regards from Indiana, USA.

[@anomamos9095]

While most people use nutsert and rivnut interchangeably there is a difference. A nutsert is generally pressed or moulded or glued into plastic or wood or even stone . A rivnut or rivet nut is a panel nut that uses a flare that expands when compressed to secure it to a panel. Then there are panel and cage nuts and J nuts and T nuts.

[@robfox5892]

This is such an awesome truck/build. So glad I got to see it in person. Great job guys!

[@markpugner7962]

Just some good dudes having a fat time, love it 👍🍻

[@michaelatkin9649]

This is why these resto vehicles are so much money. Its a lot of fab, wiring parts, etc

[@adventureswithedna]

That's awesome! That's a great feeling having it together and running. I spent a week rewiring Edna and still ended up with a few bugs to work out

[@bigcaputo09]

That truck is freaking sick!! I love it!!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing

[@peakauto]

Great stuff, gents!

[@peterjuhlke7437]

She's a beast ! Can't wait to see it . Sounds nice too . safe trip home .

[@jamesherman9925]

Great video, brings back memories of high school, I had a 2wd and 4x4 S10, both 2.8's, would be awesome Little truck to win, all sorts directions you can go

[@Mugwart14]

Great truck, filming and colab! Glad to see you here on the central coast, in Atascadero! Hope you got to see Montana De Oro and Morro Rock while you were here! Keep up the good work.

[@anthonyguglielmo3708]

Keep Pumping It's turning out AWESOME........

[@kimherrick9615]

Good stuff.i am enjoying the build. Weld on cardboard, paint on rocks. I do the same. Make it work!

[@Backwoods_870]

Working with the burning barrel to keep warm...that's old-school for sure...keep punching fellas.

[@davidanderson2393]

Great build series, the road trip should be pretty interesting, good luck guys.

[@donaldlawton7384]

She's lookin great 👍, guys great job,and thank you fellas👍👍.

[@bbroken1]

Good to see her come alive 👍

[@xozindustries7451]

Working with hard plate is fun, very good to make clutch pedals from

[@johnd21]

What a great rig. Can’t wait to see it completely finished.

[@homiesjdmnation]

😂😂😂 I’m 10 years older then you are , how old do you think I am 💀 to funny! You guys kill me

[@billyhaddock5540]

Rich, the 55 ApacheStroker sounds and looks cool.. betcha the paint job will be cool also..

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

I have too many shinny paints to worry about already.

[@mikpiece469]

I have many favourite channels but this is the best of them👍

[@mikeunum]

Old style and i love it. How older how better, fix it and tune it up.

[@KendrasEdge757]

Absolutely gorgeous truck!!! Love it!!! God bless~

[@h.h.legacydiesel6724]

This is an awesome build, that said, l have to say l cringed when the back fender lips were cut to clearance the tires 😬🤔, it will be much safer for the drive back home to Canada 🇨🇦 😀. BUT ... So much completed this time around, great crew. It would be nice to have your hosts come to Canada 🇨🇦 and build a rusted out car? Or truck? A van? Just so they get a feeling of what it's like to build here. Once they get their shop cleaned up? 🤣 Great idea Rich, and such a great truck to build! Are you concerned about anything 🤔 for the drive home? Rain? Charging? License & insurance? Flats? Do you have spares? Really, it should be a walk in the park! Enjoy and have so much fun. ✌🏻👍🏻🤘😎🌤 🇨🇦 😛.

[@Billyspacerocket]

Super Fun video = Thanks!!!!!!

[@derekkapaun5610]

Awesome video you guys are having fun on the build cool

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool stuff. Enjoyed watching the progress ✌️😎

[@jasonkebic741]

Horn Blows Does The Driver?? Someone should say thanks to Arron cause he is right holding an 8lbs camera for 12hrs a day is brutal.

[@henkoosterhof5947]

Blindklinkmoer (rivetnut/popnailnut). Greetings from the netherlands.

[@HKRXPRS]

You guys argue over beds and boxes but in Australia we call that a ute tub. In reality half of those get pulled off and junked from brand new and then replaced with alloy trays.

[@firefly3333]

It’s not a box Rich. It’s a bed. Joe Diffie says so. The good news is it doesn’t have to be made.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

Its.....ALLLIIIVVVEEE!!!

[@dwightmcintosh8511]

Rich that build is epic.

[@Shadeza1373]

Enjoying your builds guys big ups🤙

[@randydunn6988]

Great job guys

[@lilbigson4115]

Such a great series!

[@mikemuzzell5167]

Artist with a saws all. 😂. Well done buddy.and smashing u bolts will open them up. Do it all the time with heavy truck front u bolts.

[@allendaigle6351]

Alsume guys two thumbs in tha air to yall

[@johnkranz4004]

Sounds good Looks KILLER KOOL

[@arthurs.hernandez2166]

Looks and sounds great good job

[@pharmmech]

I have really enjoyed this build with all the individuals involved. Lots of fun.. I sure hope you recheck the toe on the front end . It wax set to 3/8" toe out according to what the measurements were.

[@71Kabomb]

Final adjustment was 1/8” toe in, when it was 3/8” toe out, the one tie rod was stuck and the 1/2” had to come out of that side to keep things centered (ended up getting it)

[@adamformanack318]

Its Alive!!! Its ALive!!!....yeah man there is little things that need to be done, but it sounds fucking fast as hell man be careful... 😎💯✌an I have worked on a 55 chevy truck with camaro front clip and sbc

[@mcbarber5108]

So exciting!

[@KHALABEEB]

The DirtCenema guys are legends for this, what cool dudes...the Canadians are OK too, I guess.

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good 👍👍

[@hughmc5419]

Nice job on the Apache , the best to your crew , & you Rich. That windshield is a little sketchy,safety especially if your going on a cross country trip. What gauges are you going to use. Hugh Mc. Chicago, metro

[@Xxjoker21xX]

you need 2 times the storage for the Plasma cutter and you can raise the pressure to compensate in the pressure switch they are adjustable!!

[@Modlendingen]

Looking good! :)

[@vanstechcorral]

Unplugging the pcm controlled alternator plug reverts to internal 13.8 V regulation...

[@JMC9837]

When you double up pieces to get thickness cut some speed holes in one of the pieces and rose weld them so connect them together much stronger

[@peterfriesen5927]

Awesome

[@andrewmonaghan8487]

Awesome pick up 👍🇭🇲 ute

[@ShaunCWalters]

Another trick with plasma and water jet cutter is to start off the piece and cut onto it, it's hard to pierce but would be ok to cut it

[@nicolasstanley1392]

best beats on the tubes! I appreciate you, you very white canadians! :) videography is really impressive as well

[@troyadams1076]

Great one the best channel by fare

[@landon390]

🔥🔥🔥

[@harrisoncastrikum29]

Legends

[@gregskufca755]

In the states if it's enclosed like a uhaul it's a box lmao. Otherwise a truck bed .

[@stevenstanselljr7115]

You have to build a burnout car. The best of Canada and America can meet. Vice grip garage and Deboss need to do a tandem burnout at freedom factory so then I can see my 3 that are on notification can be on one video

[@notme6071]

Time for a stroker for the square body.

[@shanethompson7543]

Badass Chevy

[@chriswheeler4255]

Love it

[@Lydia.LaMar0]

Yes 👍

[@clubsprt]

It's not a bed or a box! Its a tub! Ask Al and woody :P

[@tedmacdonald4410]

*tray

[@clubsprt]

@@tedmacdonald4410 tray is different to what the have. Body/style side is a tub. Alloy/steel fold down sides is a tray

[@Jim0i0]

I love it.

[@davidmull1540]

need a higher cfm compressor for the plasma table, or run 2 or more in parallel to get the cfm flow you need.

[@fabianferro7193]

Saludos desde argentina amigo

[@frankm9334]

Anyone know where he got the cold air intake piping from? i swear it was mentioned but cant find it

[@1philipwade]

I have a set of 55 Apache side emblems. In great shape. If anyone needs any.

[@michellericard4850]

All that time and hard work you put into this. It really deserves a nice paint job. Even if it's the original color. It just needs to be shiny.

[@jaredlancaster4137]

​@Barry Soetorro That looks nothing like a ten year old rusty Canadian truck. I understand that not everybody likes patina, but we can agree that a surface patina looks very different from rot.

[@jaredlancaster4137]

@Barry Soetorro I can understand thinking that way, but I see it very differently. Patina like that tells the story of that pickup over the last 60 years in a way that clean new paint can't. Also a contributing factor is that I'm too young to think that looks crappy. My whole life, crappy paint has been a '91 Geo Prizm with peeling clear coat, and this kind of multilayered patina has been Tow Mater cool. Totally different look and totally different feel.

[@navseal345]
