The classic music is so relaxing especially when you view this channel that's constructive around 10PM your time because you're 8 time zones ahead and you're getting ready to hit the hay. It's so much better than watching the late news about someone being stabbed 14 times over a cell phone theft, a wild drive by shoot out where no one is hurt except some child lying in bed 2 blocks away on the 5th floor or video of the latest war conflict that's blowing numerous military vehicles and soldiers to smitherines.

I heard the rod knock but didn't want to say anything and spoil it for others. I don't have any friends and busses don't come anywhere near my compound but I have a 67 Cadillac hearse and a big Ford ambulance. I could make a sweep down to the nursing home in civilization and pick up a few "viewers". Joseph and Mary send their love. Mary enjoys your show so much she makes me play it for her when I leave or go out to the shop. She just loves watching them over and over with Joseph. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. We always look forward to them.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Rare too!! I've only seen 1 or 2 others. My family of 7 came west to Oregon in a 1960 Studebaker Lark and a 1952 Chev 1/2 ton in 1963. Dad had that truck loaded, and I rode with him most of the way. It was a great truck!

[@Shutterdial]

I once patched an old Chevy strait six pickup with a horrible rod knock by removing the rod and piston. I put a hose clamp around the crankshaft to block the oil passageway to maintain pressure. It actually ran great on 5 cylinders ! With the rear end gear ratio, I never missed the loss in horsepower. Great vid Kyle. But then I enjoy Shed by the Tracks too !!!

[@davidsamways]

I don't really know why I like watching these videos so much as I'm never going to restore one of these old trucks - impossibly expensive over here in the UK. I first subscribed as I wanted to learn about panel beating - and I have learned a lot. I guess I'm now an addict.

[@toms1979]

I had a buddy who was all excited about winning a 51 AD truck on ebay. When he showed me the pictures I commented on how the seller took all the pictures from a specific angle to hide the fact that it had a 9ft bed. He had no idea and thought he had bought a short bed half ton. He listed it for sale the day it was delivered, he just couldn't handle the awesomeness of the 9ft bed. It came out of Saskatchewan actually.

[@briquetaverne]

Kyle, ...Boy does your choice of vehicles bring me back down to Memory lane. Back when, I'm a 20 year old kid who one month from my 21st birthday stupidly gets married. So now my new wife and I find a shack to rent and move in. It costs money so we get jobs right away. We have 2 cars but her parent's car seizes because Mother-in-law doesn't know what red light on the dash and steam coming out from under the hood means on her 1963 Comet. So what does "MOM" do since she's only 8 miles from home? Pulls over and calls for assistance? No way, that too logical. She guns it to get home faster. Naturally the engine locks up tighter than a crab's A$$ a mile from home and so walks the rest of the way home. She calls up my wife crying and so now her daughter (my wife) generously offers her car to use until her father can either fix or replace the Comet. ( It took them 5 months to buy a used ford wagon). My car, a '68 beetle now goes to my wife because how else can she get to work. I've only got $100 bucks and have to find something to drive. Mind you in 1970 $100 bucks is like $600 today so what do I see sitting alongside of a service station with a for sale sign in the window? A raw looking but solid 1950 long bed 1 ton Chevy with 3 speed and low, low on the floor, 16.5 size tires and an 8 lug pattern wheel and a driver's side seat whose exposed seat spring pinches bottoms when bouncing about. It was up for sale for $75 bucks and ran but... It needed another radiator and the service station owner seeing that I had $100 bucks said he'd find and fit another Radiator for the truck. He found one from a Cadillac hearse and it worked great. This truck couldn't go over 55 MPH because the rear was so low but when it came time to pull out a stump, this truck didn't even strain. I drove this truck until my brother said he'd trade me even for a 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan because he now needed a work horse since he became a brick mason. I kept that Lincoln for 2 years and sold it later on to four guys from Brooklyn, NY for $1200 dollars
