[@brianfairchild7819]

haven't you learned your lesson on buying things from that pudding fella yet?

[@mbarnhill86]

Honestly I feel like this could be best or greatest build yet on puddins fab shop!!! Please go all out on that puppy. The wife will appreciate it and we will too! Got a lot of square body guys on here pacing the floor right now hoping you bring her back to glory. Throw a 5 -4 drop on her with color match 20inch delrays.

[@HwyRyder]

Agreed

[@PeelerofFaces1]

Good truck for some colabs with others. Everyone loves an 88. Would love to see it modernized for road trips with the fam.

[@boomstyk4urboo]

If Disney needs a new voice for Mater, I vote for Puddin. That voiceover work would be a game changer

[@ktmcc4360]

Wholly shit you just hit the nail on the head. He is the true voice of Mater. He is very authentic when not playing up, but his voice could be the only thing everyone could fall in love with. He is middle America and thank God it still exists.

[@HiThere-du4up]

Yeah, I vote for that too.

Best 15 hundred buck truck ever . Keep it , she's cool

[@TomTom2149936]

Honestly I hope you keep it, they make everything for that interior. And slam it on its belly. Please build it, along side Wilma. This would be a nice family rig with all that cab space

[@HwyRyder]

I'd love to see this his most slammed rig to date!!! It would be SE-XY!!! And I'm not even a slammed truck guy 😂

[@bumboclat]

I too hope he keeps it, but nothing beats a van or wagon for family hauling purposes

[@walkredroad]

I want to see the Someday Model A finished! If the masses don't want it on the main channel ... let's do it on the second channel!!! Momma didn't raise no punk ... let's finish it!!!

[@tonyheredia1694]

Been sold already

[@chrish.5594]

Once puddin got rid of the old model A it lost its someday modelA meaning after all when you get a good running modelA it's a shame to see them pulled down. But that's just my thoughts on it

[@andrewledford3865]

​@@chrish.5594it's "someday" because he was going to do it "someday" when he got the money to do it right. He has said that relentlessly... Why the attachment to a rusty bucket, that would've required 3x the work? Not to mention that he literally GAVE IT BACK to the man he bought it from, who only sold it because he came on hard times. Y'all weird as hell...

[@chrish.5594]

@andrewledford3865 as I said the someday model A lost its meaning once a new one was purchased. Someday meant someday the old one will be a hotrod. It's not that hard to understand Y"ALL.or is it for some

[@walkredroad]

​@@chrish.5594 ... not that hard fir me to understand you are attached to a certain outcome that you had yur heart set on! Speaking fir myself ... I've got no problem with the switch especially after hearing all of Puddins reasoning and the fact that the rusty Model A is back with the original owner so he has a chance to make his Someday Model A Dream a Reality! Besides, I watch Puddin for Puddin!!! I don't always agree with him and I'd do a lot of things different ... aka ... my way ... but the thing I like most about Puddin is his authenticity and his ability to make me laugh ... sooooooo at the end of the day I really don't give a RIP that he changed course on the Model A or that he used an mostly original A as his new platform!

[@jamesjohnson8867]

There was a TV between the front seats that's why there is a boomerang on it. I use to do conversions on them.

[@gerry-p9x]

BOING BOING boing

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

Yep totally right

[@richardbates2367]

You used to see several centurion conversion Ford f350 crew cab duallys and c3500 Crew cab dually Chevy and GMC

[@andrewledford3865]

I was wondering if the audience just wasn't of the correct age to know what those were for...

[@emersonb5764]

Yeah those boomerangs were Tv antennas. Before we had dvd’s or internet. Lol young kids don’t know what it was like riding in a car and having to look out the window for entertainment. Lol

[@CodyRPierce]

I know everyone says "put an LS in it" for everything, but this one may actually be the right candidate for that.

[@dave1135]

Yep, the TBI system is shot, and even in its heyday, it was a mediocre system at best. Rather than fix it, do a upgrade.

[@ktmcc4360]

The boomerang antenna was for TV signals. In a ride that cool back in the day they had a 14lb cell phone too. There would have been a Sony TV mounted somewhere in side, w a built in VHS player. That was the cowboss truck.

[@steelmill]

Man Puddin ,Zack is the trucking hauling man.He has been a great addition to the content.

[@j.a.r.family2576]

put a winch in the shop that'll pull vehicles in for you to the lift.

[@dave1135]

Maybe mortsky will send puddin a jbc telehandler like he has.

[@smittysmat7826]

Even if he’s just sprawled out snoozing, there’s something calmly satisfying about randomly spotting Theo in the background. He seems so happy, content and grateful to have found Puddin’ and family. He’s (Theo) thinking..”Thank the lord. I finally hit pay-dirt”. 😊

One of your best vids, Puddin! Laughed my ass off at the commercial and the edits. Great job to Chris as well. He's doing a fantastic job.

[@robertjones1709]

Hey Puddin' that first sensor you tossed, (MAP) sensor, find the plug and reconnect it with a new vacuum hose properly, and watch your throttle body injectors come Alive. And it will run and idle. 👍

[@1033club]

If I'm not wrong I think Puddin said the injectors were missing....

Man O Man! It's remarkable the change in old theo's coat since ya'll adopted him. I knew all dogs go to heaven but ol Theo gets to have the free preview of doggy heaven. He is one blessed pooch.

[@derekwalters6132]

The best thing that ever happened to that good boy was Hotrod praying for a dog. Think he’s not a lazy dog he’s just plumb tuckered out from searching for his forever home. He’s just catching his breath for a minute, and you couldn’t have asked for a better temperament from a dog than Theo’s. He’s more than content to have Hotrod loving on him, and he definitely knows who the pack leader is he hangs out in the shop with him everyday.

[@FORCE_PBC]

Was dying on the park it mark it. If wifey is happy then you know what you gotta do. Incorporate her in the build a touch. That way you won’t get yelled at for her ideas!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

[@damonwehling1596]

Absolutely glad your keeping it, brother and I grew up in those trucks . Still have the one our father purchased from Dealership here in AK from our grandfather who was a salesman there in 1975. My brother has that truck and we have a 77 4x4 4spd crew cab dually that going to be getting on the road here soon.. Great content will be following you on this build.. Alaska fan Northernnomad...

[@xbear7473]

i’m in the middle of watching Mortske’s video and i only looked at this video for a second and thought it was the same truck somehow, all the square bodies hell yeah!!

[@Atodaso-pg9kq]

If I was building that truck I’d totally go with TMI products for the interior. They make complete interiors for square bodies even door panels and their stuff is awesome. Of course you have Top Stitch Taylor so that may not be necessary for you but a super nice interior and just clean up the outside the way it is would be the way to go. Well bagged and some sick wheels too. 🤷‍♂️ 🙃

[@VorlonFrog]

HELL YEAH, IT'S ANOTHER GOOD ONE!!! Another 454 dually!!

[@scottm344]

Puddin i think buddy with all the comments on this truck it seems most people would like to see you completely go through the rig and get it back on the road. Heck maybe even do a full restoration on it like the wagon and make it look sharp. That, in turn, would give you a long project to do. Great video as always, thank you for taking the time to make all these vids. I truly do appreciate it. 🎉🎉Happy 4th buddy🎉🎉

I wasn't thinking we'd get the first view of "Jump Rope Puddin'" 😁

I know that anyone who matters in this most likely won't read this & even if they do, my opinion won't matter but... I'ma put it out there anyway.... I definitely would love to see you keep this one & do exactly what you mention with it & more! I've always wanted to have an older doo-lee and drop it (or at least get it closer to the ground) and just have something big and cool to cruise around in so, I'd love to be able to live that dream through a build on this rig. I was a lineman and did a lot of work on power lines but, for the past 20 years now, I've been on dialysis with no chance of a kidney transplant. I now live alone since losing my wife of 25 years to COVID in Feb of 2021 and then my youngest baby girl moved out when she turned 18 in April. I only have my Social Security payment to rely on each month so having something like this of my own is certainly only a dream so I'll hopefully get the opportunity to live it out through your channel and hard work. Thanks as always for the quality content. God bless!~ Scott 💙🙏🏼

[@mjc8248]

Getting my wife in my cool old junk was next to impossible. I got a good deal to buy back one of my old minitrucks, and she was all about it. She actually wanted to drive it. She drove it every chance she got. If you find something the wife likes, you do whatever it takes to keep it around.

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL! (but you don't need to get any actual injuries tryin' to pull old plug wires 🤕) Think about getting plug-boot puller pliers and save those knuckles! Hell, you probably got a pair already. Also essential when the motor is hot. Save those hands for makin' videos we love to watch.

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Well, I gotta say, that particular tan turd doesn't do much for me. I still remember when those conversion rigs were new, and I thought to myself, they took a perfectly good brand new pickup and ruined it LOL... That said, the front seats that looked like they were made from wore out sofas were usually pretty damn comfy. I've always liked my rigs a little more on the simple side of life, but that's just me. That particular rig looks like someone got their first J.C Whitney catalog and their first credit card, and went nuts... On a different note, ol' Theo makes me smile every time I see him. It cracked me up when you put his dinosaur next to him, and he got all cuddled up with it. He's a good boy, and he couldn't have found a better home...
