OLD SCHOOL vs. NEW SCHOOL: The Ultimate Chevy Truck Challenge. The Winner Might Surprise You!

[@FabRats]

Who do you think won the competition? Hunter’s Newer Chevy or Paul’s Old Square-body? Let us know in the comments!😎

[@benjamindavidson632]

We all know square body is better. SBC in her and it would of been no competition. But in all good fun it was a tie.

[@javan947]

Square body wins in all categories. Including the radio

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Tow Truck

[@justinsexton6659]

Hunter won i love the old square body and obs Chevy trucks but his gen is the true successor to our trucks

[@glenj.taylor2938]

Square Body= W Let's see how well that "new truck" is holding up in 20-30 years. All the electronic do-dads and what-not will be kaput and all the plastics will also have dry rotted and turned to dry leaf status.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Best part was at the end when Jace says "and dad says I'm hard on stuff" as hes shoveling dirt on the puddle of oil 🤣

[@bripslag]

That was Landon, but the point still stands. 👍

[@brandonb4462]

He been waiting for that his whole life lmao

[@Beandiptheredneck]

@bripslag whoops 😅 I actually didn't see who was in the clip, just knew Jace was along for the whole ride. Landon definitely is hard on stuff, but he had to learn it from someone..

[@jeraldhite9744]

That was awesome!

Paul's your dad... Which one are you?! Your Dad's a good man.

[@bullittdog4352]

It’s a tie ..anybody willing to smash a rocker and door in on their newer DD is all in for a win but anybody willing to put rods on the ground is also pretty committed ..LOL! The viewers are the real winners because this was one fun video! It would be cool to see FabRats build a capable shop rig for some of the younger guys to get out and do some crawling and develop skills behind the wheel.

[@themaskedmusician4846]

Honestly I love old trucks purely for the fact they put a smile on my face. Don’t care about the fact they have a lot of things to be desired they put a smile on my face when I drive one. A new truck it’s a vehicle it doesn’t make me smile but its still a better vehicle.

[@Weneedtrump]

Paul those boys have no idea how lucky they are to have a dad/ Role model like you in there life I just love watching yalls videos and watching tech and have fun with them wish I had that when I was younger

[@jimhansen5395]

Just FYI, Paul isn't Hunter's dad. They just happen to have the same last name. But your point still stands. He is a great role model for any young man

Reminds me of the Farm Truck from the 405 Street Outlaws. lol

[@ryanlukens9280]

I think the Fab Rats fans won today. It’s so cool to see Paul passing on his knowledge to Hunter. Paul was probably the winner from my recliner, he went farther down the rock section, did better in the mud and both trucks were even in the tug-o-war until the motor puked. Either way, it looked like you all had a load of fun.

[@cottonmouth71]

Well said ...it sure was fun to watch ,especially the motor blowin up in such a grand catastrophic way !

[@richarddow8967]

Gotta give it to Hunter wheeling his pride and joy like that. He was wise not to try that last rock obstacle. Great gentleman's competition.

[@martinc591]

If Paul had brought a truck with an engine in it he would have won hands down! I think he was trying his best to give hunter a fighting chance.

[@chrishopper8477]

I think Paul got the win

i think he used the weakest vehicle he owns.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Paul and Ben putting the wrenches down just long enough to spend a day with the kids. The kids will remember this fun day for life. AND us viewers getting to watch it all play out. That's a win for everyone.

[@xfactor5876]

Awesome Video!! I would call it a draw. Which hunter should fear considering he was up against a rusty old square body running on 5 cylinders and one with some extra stroke. Good on Hunter for going for it. Hope Robby will help him out with some body work. Honorable end for the 4.3! Giving it all!!

[@periwinkle-dragonfly]

[@terrallputnam7979]

Paul's old square body probably weighed more new but natural weight reduction over the years lightened it up. Hunter probably has the Horse power advantage. Paul is definitely a positive thinker. Competing against a newer more powerful well functioning truck and still planning to WIN! That is glass half full all day long! You Go Paul! We are with you! The Waterfall was EPIC!!! The competition was close and I would say a tie!

The square body went out in a blaze of glory. I give it the victory.👍 I owned four of them but I’m not being biased 🤣

[@K3NnY_G]

There is no truck more capable than one you don't care about. In that, Paul had it from the beginning, he knows he can fix it; and is just lookin' for a reason to make it better. xD

[@Zekespeaks]

All things considered, I have to give it to the square body considering how injured she really was, especially at the end of it. In reality, all of you and us viewers all won because it was fun for all!

[@lawrenceengel3330]

Absolutely beautiful terrain out there 😍 Hunter is a brave man to take his bank payments out on the trail👌 The old square body gave it her all and left the engine out on the field 😂

[@danbamrick5440]

I think we the viewers won that competition. Nice job Hunter and Paul. You both took those rigs where I wouldn’t go.

[@russellgibbs5712]

That old square body held its own even with a hurt engine was able to keep the new truck from moving win to Paul. It would be awesome to have a teardown video of the motor.

[@ggalland1]

Oh yes.....forgot to mention that in my comment. Please please provide video of taking that motor out and teardown

[@thedumbassspeaks]

I was definitely expecting movement one way or the other, since Hunter’s truck had two cylinders and 1000 lbs. on Paul’s truck.

[@mikefurr5281]

S,W, and Fridays never seem to come soon enough because of the Cox family and all your work. Thanks a ton!

Paul and Hunter had fun doing this competition. It was nice that Ben and Sean were there watching out for both of them. The King Rat Rod Wrecker was on hand in case of trouble and they had some of that! Fun for all!

[@chadkendall7151]

I love this! I think there needs to be a re-match with 2 healthy trucks and both on the same size tire. Poor Paul started out with a hurt motor, and smaller rubber. Put a new motor, and bigger tires and give that new truck some real competition. (also fix the radio so Hunter can't claim that victory...)

[@gillesbelliveau660]

I going for the square body just because it was the under dogs. I my mind (?) it was the winner. What is far about having two same trucks.

[@alexroark366]

I was beginning to worry!! Haha! I LOVE this channel!! All love and respect to the FabRats!!

[@its_me_JZ]

I think the easiest way to make this decision is to ask yourself. If you needed to call someone to come get you out, would it be Paul in the square body, or Hunter in his truck. Sorry Hunter, I'm calling Paul every time 😂

[@macking104]

well, if it is July and need to go 50 miles… I would rather have music and AC!

Hats off to Fab Rats for another fun and entertaining episode. Loved seeing the old square body at work today. Hunter is a real trooper. Family fun is the best! Keep it up! 😊

[@forsaknabyss301]

I vote that the square body won, seeing as it held its own in the tug of war running on about 2 cylinders that were left

About time to build Hunter some sliders and skids plates with the way he drives that thing! Way to use the whole truck👌

[@arjaitheoriginal]

That was a win for Hunter, Paul and the rest of us!! Awesome fun!!

[@lancefisher8364]

I'm glad you all had fun, it's basically a tie but myself, the older square body is the way to go for off-roading (smaller investment and the damage is less obvious, if the motor had stayed together)

[@SoundwaveX7]

I'm more of a fan of the old school square body Chevy trucks as I and many others consider them cooler!! That and the availability of aftermarket parts for them.

[@hitekredneck109]

And the reliability is second to none!!! No codes,no dash lights,no problems!!! If something dont work then it prolly got broke. If you fart too hard in the new trucks the computer craps the bed

[@wkwrpg4392]

One of the BEST videos!! Nothing like family time. Thank you for sharing! That said: 1- Paul won. Hunter made a gearing mistake initially. 2- Hunter won with Paul’s coaching on gear selection. 3- Paul won, he went further and climbed back up. 😉🤣 4- Paul won because he got himself out 5- Tie. Smoking tires So once again experience WON! Regardless of youth willingness to concede. Hats off to you Paul Cox!! 🥇
