This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! Master car builder, Stacey David, shows off the truck that’s had the nation talking for ten years! Take a look back at the kid with the dream. Follow the design and fabrication. See what happens when the military tribute vehicle rolls out and conquers the road! This episode is gonna be epic. It’s been a long road, but anything worth doing well is worth the wait. This week, the wait is over. Sergeant Rock Lives!

[@titanfab3816]

Who was watching when he started this on trucks from spike tv

[@UncleSpuddy]

I forgot that he hosted Trucks back then. I watched the weekend Powerblock every chance I got.

[@boston7704]

So long it was on The Nashville Network!

[@ALEX173446]

Me

[@garyrobinson8991]

Yeah, it’s been quite the ride. Miss the old Spike teams.....Stacy was one of the best. Happy to see he’s still wrenchin’......wish our local cable would carry Gears, tho.

[@timmaynard1617]

Yep

[@TheSteve1175]

I appreciate you reshowing these shows. They were and are a reminder of much better days. Be Safe Be Blessed..

[@Vern.Anderson]

Some of us are old enough to remember that Sgt. Rock was also an awesome comic book series!

[@jeremyrock7446]

Vern Anderson my grandfather was Sargeant Rock ! 😁 it’s an awesome truck

[@karlsmith2570]

Vern Anderson myself included on that one

[@topgunsnake720]

Sargeant Rock and his Howling Commandos.

[@Andrewlang90]

Vern Anderson Careful, Sony might hear that and you won’t be able to say his name anymore lol

[@brandonsmith5506]

I'm glad to see the Sgt Rock is done, I've watched the build ever since he was on Trucks and I also liked Copperhead and Crazy Horse as well.

[@brandonsmith5506]

@I Paid I think my most favorite build he had was the 88 Chevy K5 Blazer he had back in the day he named Big Blaze

[@yungkidnf]

Don't forget about Big Blaze, the K5 he built

[@karlsmith2570]

Brandon Smith I still remember getting to see Copperhead & Crazy Horse taken on their shakedown runs and was really disappointed that he never got to finish Sgt Rock before leaving Trucks, but I'm glad I finally got to see the payoff of Sgt Rock finally running down the road

[@checkenginelighton1121]

Brandon Smith Indeed. My favourite was Copperhead stuffed with that 572

[@karlsmith2570]

CheckEngine Light On same here bro I even got The build sheet for that very same Truck for whenever I get the chance to be able to build my own version of Copperhead

[@johnnystanley4469]

Love Stacy David's Gearz awsome show

[@rogerbradley7509]

One of the most if not the most beautiful truck I have ever seen! The love and attention to detail on this is beyond understanding! Thank you from this retired Vet who comes from a family who has served since the Revolutionary War! Absolutely breath taking! God bless you and God bless America!

[@dalegroves1918]

I've always loved your enthusiasm, it's contagious and makes me run right out to my garage.... Thanks

[@crazyscott71]

Stacey i cant thank you enough. Your one of the reasons im a mechanic and mod things on the side. I remember the day way back when you started this truck have watched ever since

[@randypurtteman1183]

I realized that you had spent a considerable time building "Sgt Rock" (I wonder how many people will remember the Sgt Rock comic book series. I lived on them when I was a kid), however I had no idea that it was over ten years. Nor did I know of the history behind it. How cool it must be to obtain the one you first fell in love with at the age of five. Also to find out the "Memphis Belle " was your inspiration, great. The B-17 Flying Fortress has been my favorite aircraft since I was seven. I saw her a couple of times while she was on mud Island and have visited her many times during her restoration at Wright Patterson. To bad she could not have stayed in Memphis though. Thanks again for the project.

[@brianfalls5894]

Stacey, I've been waiting since your days of the Power Block TV days when you first got that truck. And I can remember exactly what you said too. "I've got plans for this truck. Big plans. REAL BIG plans." You were in the process of building that truck and then you left the show. I never thought I'd ever see Sgt. Rock up and running. Well done sir! Well done!

[@seando87]

Man i remember watching trucks when you first got this truck. One of my favourite builds.

[@jetenginethrust863]

Love Sgt. Rock, been watching you build her & your TV shows from the beginning. Love your work, attention to detail & thinking outside the box on your many projects. Keep up the great work. Happy New Year & GOD Bless 01/03/2019...

[@jeremyhood5206]

Dude I have watched you since I was a kid, and remember you working on this project!! You even made me find my new found favorite color Sour Apple Green on the rod you built! Great job on the restoration bud!

[@benrosenbach6400]

I drive by the same model truck that's a rusty piece of yard art on an old farm, since I was a kid. Always made me think of this show when I see it.

[@homesaverchimney]

I sure wish our local cable provider would start carrying your show again. Always loved watching. Your's was / in the best mechanic show ever!

[@davidfirth9342]

Been watchin you since I was a little boy was heart broke when u were not on trucks any more

[@jamieround2072]

I WAS TOO & NOT SEEING HIM & HIS SHOP & BUILDS FOR A BIT OF TIME BUT I KNEW IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD HE WASN'T DONE BUILDING RIDES ON TV.... & SHOWING THE BUILD LIL BY LIL TO US THE FAN'S

[@tankfirewalker5774]

Dude you don't have to yell

[@vanhalenandbaddecisions3564]

My Dad used to watch it, and then I got hooked on Sgt Rock, and the 6x6

[@GM.572]

Who else thought this is an old episode until a 2015 GMC truck appeared on the road with the sgt Rock ?

[@FSU1HEMI1]

Your part of the reason I ordered my 2017 power wagon. Love how you stuck with your dream. I'm in that same process with my dream truck. Thanks for the inspiration....

[@tylerhensley2312]

This has been a long time coming!! Thank you Stacy!

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Glad to see the final finishing touches. Been a long road, but well worth the wait. Thanks!

[@cadillacman8223]

Best show on KZbin thanks for the motivation

[@jamieround2072]

ANY CAR N TRUCK BUILDING IS THE BEST FOR ME & SEEING & LISTENING & FOLLOWING

[@FullBlownRedneck]

I was watching when you started building Sgt. Rock way back when on "Trucks". Really glad to see it finished, keep up the good work.

[@shawnriddle3018]

This build is my personel favorite. Thanks for bringing this vet back to its glory. I fell in love with a power wagon in 1977. I finally bought mine in 2015.

[@ronmiller682]

I was so excited to see this video of the truck. It is absolutely beautiful great job and thank you for sharing

[@josephmalinowski6817]

when it comes to building cars and trucks this guy is on a completely different level than everybody else

[@TheRoadhammer379]

@rocknroller1999, why the jealous bullshit, it was never presented as a budget build

[@diyfabandauto1800]

Stacy David is like my hero! If I can become a 1/4 as talented and successful as him when I’m his age, I’ll be doing darn good!

[@cambellschunky704]

Hey stacy - met you and got your autograph when you visited the whitewater center in charlotte, nc. The bronco is coming along - thanks for all the inspiration.

[@topgunsnake720]

I do, they're all mine. I wish!

[@wheelstandr]

This is a dream truck. I've loved it and never forgot it since the day I first saw it. I love the color too! I'm so glad this came up on my "suggested videos" list! You did an amazing job on this truck. Theres not one thing I would change. I haven't even finished watching the video yet, but I hope it ends with some noise! I want to hear this bad boy run! I bought a 49 Oshkosh snowblower truck with inspiration from this build. I also picked up a 5.9 cummins p pump 12v, a dana 80 and some durabrite Alcoa super singles so far. I have to fab a new chassis or figure out something I can rob one from. I got tired of building muscle cars and drag cars. Looking forward to a new experience.

[@savage6394]

Such a Gorgeous build! Good job!

[@beausmith3900]

This made my day. Great job, beautiful truck, great attention to detail.

[@ascaniboy]

Been waiting almost 15 years for this to be finished!! Yay!!

[@michaelmoseley7566]

I don't care who you are you gotta love stacys videos. The just make you want to smile.

[@dustinreeher2538]

I have waited years to see this thing offroad and still cannot find one episode. I remember when Stacey built this and there was one episode with him hitting some trails in it.

[@mattywho8485]

You actually think he's going to take that thing off road ?????? Ha Ha Ha

[@fredmaxwell9619]

I remember many years ago (8-10) Stacey was taking a Ford Ranger pickup and turning it into a Baja type vehicle. He pulled the fenders off and put on flared fiberglass fenders and bed sides. That was in 1 - 3 episodes and I never saw anymore about that project. It was like it just disappeared. I loved all his projects but that one look like something I could do and have a use for.........

[@ImTheJoker4u]

Been watching trucks since it was on with shade tree mechanic, and spike was TNN. This and crazy horse are my favorite builds.

[@thomasallen3818]

Sgt. Rock is one of my favorite trucks of all time. Great build, and great video.

[@fabslyrics]

God bless America!

[@irapennington5355]

Been watching Tracy since I was 15 yrs old me and my dad would always stop working on are projects to watch his shows! Thx Tracy! My dream job would to be his co-host.

[@jeffe1779]

This my favorite episode and build

[@blown572hemi]

Good to see you again Stacey! I live out indy country and $120 for satellite tv for as much as I watched the “idiot box” wasn’t worth it for evening viewing

[@micklaporta4503]

great craftsmanship

[@danshields3654]

Loved watching hate now for us he is on specialty channel that is toooo expensive to have. But atleast you tube has some videos to watch. Keep on building Stacey .

[@the.porter.productions]

I really enjoyed his shows...the old wrecker was a favorite with the new chrome bud wheels. I just love old trucks and to see him grab one and tweet it for a more modern use...SWEET! He knows his stuff!

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

as silly as some of these shows were stacy david is king of spike tv era shows,trucks and now gears are and always have been totally awesome.

[@rshipley21]

Loved this show, and this build specifically. But, am I the only one who remembers when he first started this build, it was with 49" tall tires? I don't believe the 54's had come out yet. My friend says it was always with the 54's, but I'm positive Stacy made that change after the build was already underway. I even recall on an episode where he mentioned the "massive 49 Iroks" (I think).

[@me3333]

In this episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/joO8cpianb2Ii7M He rolls out what is definitely a different tire (what looks like a swamper TSL to me) than what's on it now but he doesn't say a size. I do think I heard him say 49's but I don't remember what episode he said it in though

[@marcusc110]

A fitting tribute to our service men and women both in the past and present

[@ajaxracing]

Great to see Sgt Rock! Been watching since I was a kid 😎👍

[@abdelhamidelmadani7577]

Following the work from the beginning. Fantaaaaaaaaaaaastic 😊 Great Job 👌

[@stevefedyk5229]

Its awesome to see this project complete

[@Brock_Landers]

Kudos to Stacey for staying brand specific. I LOVE when people build hotrods and stick with a Ford engine in a Ford chassis, Dodge engine in a Dodge or Chrysler chassis, and so on. Sgt Rock is awesome! I realize that this is old. I remember when he started this build...

[@skuz34]

copperhead is still my favorite project of staceys, it single handed started the chevy c10 craze. but sgt rock is a very close second. way to finish it finally!

[@jasonhepler9925]

I did and I miss watching this show when it was on regular tv

[@royupchurch8679]

awesome!

[@crazylarryjr]

This one and the Wild Willy's are my two favorites

[@theboatman360]

Love this truck!

[@twlyons1]

Thank you ;)

[@nickefgen9219]

great video, absolutely love the truck

[@randyfehl6920]

👍👍 for Sarge , I Absolutely love that truck even more since he got rid of the leafsprings ,nice 54in Micky's but I'm a Bogger guy 👍🙂

[@kenbauted5891]

Awesome Build 🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩

[@Akhazmat907]

your builds have always been amazing and tought me alot. Even back in the day when it was Trucks. But I highly doubt he will ever take that truck in the mud. I hope he does. I have to go back and watch how you did the suspension again. For my build

[@eprofessio]

Thank you for making that vehicle. It makes my little heart smile.

[@aguyashed1124]

ad free video on youtube !!! great job

[@armandopatane5343]

Sgt rock is amazing

[@matthewames3864]

This Truck is Sick !! I am happy to find Stacey on here . He keeps it entertaining . Them other guys on Power Nation are dull and nerdie boring.

[@jackcrognale417]

Stunning Job!!!!

[@danojames8329]

[@lmtsmt847]

Miss watching you man glad I found this

[@davidbarnsley8486]

And you know what I like the most You painted it ,none of that rusty shit And what a colour and paint job it is fantastic 👍👍👍😍😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@loganshotrod4x464]

15.24: stop, stop you’re too big you’re gonna wreck it!

[@stephenvictorbailey4055]

Sgt rock ...rocks.... What I'm working on is a 2002 Perodua Kenari.... After my Suzuki wagon got side swiped by a beemer st a junction near where I live

[@johnterpack3940]

Man... if I had a dollar for every time a girl started waving and yelling, "whoa, whoa, whoa, stop! You're too big... you're gonna wreck it!"

[@johnvineyard67]

with such a young love for the truck.. i woulda wanted to build it as a daily driver... not a vision of it on a trailer,,, or at a truck show.. i would want to drive it.....

[@chris27289]

That truck is bad ass.

[@dongray3258]

Yes I'm traveling from Miami to New York and I would like to buy a ticket on the sergeant Rock because I got to get there in a hurry, and I know that bad boy will fly.

[@gilbertrocha3589]

Awesome truck

[@ThePete2432]

My wife used to yell “stop you are too big”, but she got used to and now appreciates it

[@ThePete2432]

Ooh I’m sure

[@ridermak4111]

Just curious....in which states, if any, is hydraulic steering legal on the street ?

[@ScottyLo]

Great build. Finished product is awesome. Tons of engineering to make a truck like that actually work as good as it looks. ☠️

[@kelevra558]

Travis Pastrana is the only man id say is as cool as Stacey David. He builds one of a kind, multi hundred thousand dollar vehicles, and beats on them. He shreds on guitar, seems like a great guy, and supports and respects the military. As a Marine scout sniper myself, i salute you sir. OORAH!!!!

[@armandopatane5343]

I been watching since u rolled it in to ur shop

[@Lawdagreat]

Wth a 20min vid and we get 30 sec of Sgt. Rock.Stacy Davids the King of the string-along

[@thejman63]

I just ordered both this and the Greenlight what are you working on tow truck both in 164 scale I am absolutely excited for these to arrive I've got a spot all picked out next to my sign Stacy David picture I can't wait for sergeant Rock to come in the mail in 1/64 I kick myself cuz I can never find it but it was impossible to get where I was at I'm excited for that purchase to arrive off eBay

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I really love the body lines of Memphis Belle 😍

[@robertmeager1399]

Really that's cool 😎

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Best custom color ever used on a TV show build series.

[@FE428Power]

I called the paint store about it. It's $3200 a gallon!

[@ronbennett6396]

Watching the 4 wheel steering system, when you go sideways, it reminds me VERY much of the crosswind crab system on a B 52. That aircraft can do the same thing. So it's kind of weird to see such a huge aircraft literally turn on a dime.

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

THAT is a Piece of Art !!

[@workingmansrestorations7071]

I been watching for a long time. Back when building copperhead

[@davidpaulfox3449]

I will never get done with my dream truck cause I don’t have the money for it

[@toddlecher4097]

that's killer

[@richardacton6680]

love this truck i'm in need of a chrismas present

[@stephenwebb3069]

Unbelievable. Wow.

[@chadalac1977]

Man remember watching your show on TNN the Nashville network. Was a sad lil chad the lad when your show stoped .

[@davidsmall1128]

Badass!

[@scottb8945]

The one operating the gun is gonna get smoked out by the exhaust but all in all a very awesome truck !

[@gemininimeg]

Dodge Power Wagon or a WC1 is my dream truck with a 5.9 Cummins and use other components instead of what you used. Turn it into a Rat truck 1 ton daily driver but also be able to go and rock crawl anytime.

[@jimthomas777]

started watching this on the TNN channel , then the new TNN Trucks

[@wicked49ford]

Same here, I was bummed when Stacey left the show midway the build and took the project with him. So I never got a chance to see the final results til now. Only took 15 years to see this episode finally lol
