Mini Semi UPDATE and All About the 1946 Chevy Flat Bed Truck

[@gregmorrical2283]

Awesome to see a guy who is content and happy with his life, not to mention very skilled with good taste in vehicles. Thanks for showing it off.

[@mattc.310]

When they come back to you, you know they were meant to be yours. You've got some pretty cool projects going there.

[@mclarenscca]

That 46 is just a really cool ole truck!

[@98xj64]

I agree that visor is what makes it with those rims. Work of art

[@ptcobra15]

I absolutely love your builds you do fantastic work. The amount for projects is crazy.

[@crbrepairmotorcycles6608]

You can never have enough projects its like the one who dies with the most toys wins👍

[@MARKWILLIAMS-tm4rf]

Merlin your a cool cat, yes sir 111 down here in Yuma! Thanks for another great video production

[@joesphbest3120]

Love all the trucks you have, reminds me when I was a boy on my Grandfathers farm , he had a truck like that, had racks on the sides. & hauled grain in sacks.

[@robertkendall1037]

Always have something to look forward to, never finish all of them, it will keep you young

[@reallifehardtruth4465]

I also went to oilfields in n Dakota after 08. Sold everything. Spent my adult life in AZ running concrete pumps. Did a lot of work in Havasu

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

That truck is just a thing of beauty. 120 degrees damn here in wv it was 97 last week and the humidity was over 90 you could just hear vehicles rusting

[@bradledger3347]

Actually use to live in Havasu back in 1973 on the island in a travel trailer with no A/C in August, the park was across the street from the air port before they moved it. Now live up in Mesa so yea I know how hot it gets there. Another great video Merlin.

[@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage]

that was Probably a pretty good time 1973 that’s cool

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Merlin you have alot of AWESOME TOY'S! Always enjoy watching and listening to you!

[@timothymorrell4023]

Your parent's named you right, you are a wizard merlin! thanks for sharing.

[@robertottwell605]

It’s cool seeing your trucks driving around town. The old wrecker is my favorite.

[@SLCFarms]

I have a 1953 dodge that was my great grandfathers truck, this is exactly what I want to do with it. When I used to watch Steve on tv I always wanted him to build it. I think it’s great watching you all here on KZbin so much better. Thanks for showing that beautiful truck off Merlin.

[@genehart261]

I love that you know what's important in a truck! 12 valve Cummins will outlast us all.

[@johntimm7265]

I love your 46. What a great truck.

[@jdright1157]

that truck definitely has some history...wow. being an Ohioan that lives about 60 miles from Toledo that truck has definitely seen more of the country than I ever hope to!! Amazing.

[@benlavaki5017]

love the hot weather

[@jb3536]

You are definitely different. Plus your vehicles are cool as hell.

[@carlosesquivel1314]

Double dare ya to put a hybrid engine in one of those trucks. I’ve only seen one man do it truck came out good. Drives like a champion

[@98xj64]

Wow you have a gold mine. Those two trucks are killer the flatbed and the wrecker are unbelievable.

[@brucegarrett7232]

Like what you do. Can't wait for the tandem dual setup. Been waiting like you for cooler weather.

[@rayscrafield2106]

Merlin, I gotta say, I'm so sad that I didn't find your channel sooner. I'm enjoying your creativity and ability so much. I'm 80 years old and never had the time or opportunity to do what you have done. I'm in awe of what you are able to do. I only wish that I was 50 years younger and lived in Havasu so that I could follow you around. I got sort of close to your rod building while selling tools for almost 40 years in So. Cal. I met a lot of great car builders but none that could do it all as you do. Even doing your own upholstery, WOW! I love that you use diesels in so many of your projects. Love them Cummins motors. I hope someday before I die that I can make a run to Havasu and just come see you and your shop.

[@jamesgreen3831]

What a cool old truck

[@kalaehina814]

Wow! That was cool to see how the pedal system works. This truck and Mater are my favorite!

[@ronniec8038]

That 46 is sweet af. All your projects are nice tho. Thanks for sharing.

[@brianschmidt2747]

I love it and the LS motor assembly Is man's and woman's dream thank you for what you do

[@thman6453]

That's crazy cool I'm actually from and still living in Toledo Ohio so I really love that flatbed

[@levergun]

Merlin, you have the world's coolest truck, the world's coolest golf cart, and the world's coolest boat. Gonna' have to keep an eye on those three wheelers.

[@turbogrin]

Thank you Merlin for the shop tour and last but not least the Fine and wonderful details on the 46 Chevy Flat Bed Truck

[@supersport1986]

That's awsome I live just an hour from toledo ohio that's crazy the distance that truck has covered in its life time love your builds!

[@pmae9010]

Merlin that is a nice 46', as usual I have a story, I traded a go-kart engine for mine, 46 Chevy 1/2 ton I was 17 at the time, Other than a switch to 12 volt the truck stayed stock, I hauled fire wood, dirt and every thing else I could get in the bed. I sold it ten years later to help pay for college, I miss that truck.

[@randypeacock8062]

I love that truck building a similar setup with 1950 ford cab and international dt360

[@dixiemae5042]

That Honda trail 70 … just like the one I had as a kid back in the day 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@KD5XB]

Great truck! But I saw a MAGNOLIA sign! Yeah, yeah, it says Mobil on it, but any oil field resident can tell you it's MAGNOLIA!

[@stevenmason6574]

Nice videos always Merlin. You sure got a lot of nice rigs.

[@steveschmitt2849]

Thanks for sharing Merlin that is quite a collection and we look foward to watching some of your genius at work. Stay safe 👍

[@user-KrackerJack]

I would love to have one of those old trucks , just love the look of them. The '46 is awesome

[@harrytaylor6854]

very neat old trucks

[@quartfeira]

That truck is so, so cool!

[@robertlantz2206]

My first exposure to the mini semi, too cool 😎 gonna be keeping an eye on that project.

[@tvann]

You keep it real Merlin, it's what I grew up around.... Love the Chanel

[@minidigger1000]

Another great video merlin love that truck 16 its a credit to you

[@davestevens4263]

Awesome flat bed Chevy . I just love the look

[@michaelguglielmo2749]

Love what you did with the old Chevy pickup , second time’s a charm !👍

[@Coalblack79k10]

So many cool build and projects we need some 3 wheeler build videos and a little series on them 40s half ton pickups 👍🇺🇸

[@thomasrogers2093]

I like they way you do up these old trucks. You have a cool way of designing and adapting things to work.

[@SouthernColoradoWildlife]

The talent that some are blessed with always amazes me. Thanks for sharing.

[@disolejunk]

It's not blessed. Its trial and error 6 million times over years of trying and not sitting on couch wishing. You have to put your hands on something. Lol

[@SouthernColoradoWildlife]

I understand that, but many could never do this no matter how many hours and trial and error take place. He has a special talent.

[@1944chevytruck]

HOT AT YOUR HOUSE!...YOU NEED A HUGE BARN FOR ALL YOUR TOYS!... AWESOME TOYS!

[@mrmongo6722]

That 46 Chevy has a hell of a history and has definitely been a workhorse. My Buddy Jack made that move out to Havasu and that first summer plaid hell on him I'm not sure how he is fairing this year.

[@nickhartsock9849]

I’ve always wanted to take either a 2010 f350 four door short bed and put a 5.9 cummins in it, or build a single cab long bed 80’s square body chevy and put a 5.9 cummins in it, I think it would be a cool build, and a great power house, but not to flashy so that the cops don’t bat an eye at you when your running down the highway a little to fast😂

[@abikerinpa]

I have never seen a man with so many projects and jobs to do ! 😎❤️

[@carstengrove6214]

That is the coolest old truck Merlin I would love to tow my camper with that way to go

[@megabinder]

Hi Merlin really love your show all of you guys from Matt's off road to Bobby Lane to your cousin you and your cousin all you people sound very humble appreciate watching your show I like to pick your brain at 12 valve coming in a 2500 suburban

[@ahrentelford1391]

Love the first gen R, built one for my son with the 200x front-end, I like the wide front, quite the collection of trucks.

[@TheOldaz1]

Loving your trucks, I built a '46 "coupe utility" here in Oz many years ago, loved it. Thanks for sharing.

[@albertdehn8381]

Thanks for sharing 👍😀

[@vanDeudekom]

Hello Merlin nice toys man super. Like your videos , thanks.

[@mph6502]

I know what you mean about the heat, I live in NM. We don't get as hot as AZ but still pretty warm. One thing I've found that helps a lot is clear UV blocking window tint on your windows. Since it's clear it can be installed on the windshield, I have it on several of my vehicles and it makes a huge difference. Llumar and 3M make it, I'm sure other companies make it as well.

[@davidilbeck]

AC ducts in dash. Fantastic!

[@rickharper1497]

Sweet truck Merlin!!

[@Chris38908]

Merlin has some skills love the trucks all of em .

[@professorfalken4600]

120 is sweater weather in my part of AZ

[@SandyHansenPhotography]

Wow cool you used to fly a plane? why did you stop flying? We had a 172 Cessna and then we sold out and got a Cessna 210. My husband is a big diesel fan and he also built a custom jeep and gave it a custom paint job that had ghost flames so as you walked around at the ghost flames, change color, we owned a body shop and towing service for quite a few years, and Dupont paint was so impressed with his paint job on that jeep they offered to fly him to the headquarters and teach him more training to do custom paint jobs.

[@GOOF2ooo]

I'm only 15 minutes from toledo. That's crazy cool.

[@christopherconrad4156]

I was looking for a decent 46 to build when I found my 39. My mother said you aren t going to keep those big swoopy fenders are you. I said thats why I bought it.

[@michaelbondick575]

Very sweet old truck💪😉👍

[@rickwatson1000]

Nice old truck !

[@trailboss78]

Can't wait to see you get that yellow truck started

[@kentmackey2717]

That flat bed is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[@brucejames3055]

I enjoy ll your videos. As a retired shop teacher I thought your mentoring videos were excellent. I would love to see a walk around on your tow truck.

[@bluesharp59]

Very cool video and trucks. Stay cool and a thumbs up.

[@LockheedStarliner]

Hi Merlin...really like your channel. Thanks for the cool V8 boat retore and give back. What a survival story. Your Cummins knowledge might come in handy over at Anchor Brand Ranch channel. Ramzi is Michelles' cousin and has a Cummins that needs to be swapped into a Ford pickup so one of his 9 kids can drive it on the ranch! Thanks,,,John

[@LockheedStarliner]

[@jerryb1234]

I was starting to think that you probably didn't even know what a quality diesel engine looked-like, lol, you'll have the coolest Dodge truck in Arizona, you should build a wrecker and enter the tow-truck competition, your truck wouldn't need a whole-lot too become a wrecker, put ur purse down-n make it happen Merlin, lol, thanks for sharing.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Absotively posilutely fantabulous!

[@keitharnett1766]

Love your rusty gold great content keep videos coming!

[@calholli]

That looked like the older 82 or 83 250R... I had an 84 and 85, water cooled-- Super fun
