[@falcon0351]

What a beauty Steve.When life was a little simpler,and pride of build quality and ownership were king💪

CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT , I CALL IT ART , ROLLING ART

[@kitt7219]

Born in 80 and I think I was born way to damn late. I love this show and I esp love this channel. Can I time travel to when everything was harder? Welder Up could you send a feller back to the late 30's? . Ya build everything else and all we are missing is a time machine. :) TY again folks.

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks Kitt, appreciate your comment!

[@jangrahame4891]

We had a guy in our town who had one something like your truck to deliver furnace oil. Right up into the early 60's. When the truck wouldn't start, he used his fuel wagon and draft team. Specially in winter. Nothing stopped his two Belgian horsepower rig.

[@ericshimer6669]

Old delivery trucks and semi trucks being done up is worth it. I drive a truck and seeing old trucks running on the road is worth every penny. No one knows how hard it was back in the day when air conditioning and power everything was unheard of.

[@MarcusSchneidervlogs]

the good old days, just you and the truck down an old dirt road, I love that

[@darylnicklen3685]

Your Insights to the past and your passion makes what you do all the more Special.

[@franksgarage8551]

There is nothing like anything built in the early days of motoring. Im amazed at the artwork you guys did.

[@Mr.M1STER]

I love the way he left all those old fuel and motor oil can in there just solely so it looks period correct. I respect that.

[@iamrichrocker]

that simple service truck has more panache than anything today..the grill..headlights..wheels...and fenders...has charisma..

[@Fatspurios]

That's a beautiful thing indeed. Used to help my father when the tankers came to his garage. The tanker had the same baffle system. Had to climb up and would do the dipstick dipstick-ing as the fuel was delivered. The dipstick were all made of hardwood to stop static blowing up the vapours. The divisions were in 100 litre increments this was in the late 70's and in England. The pumps still delivered in gallons for a time. Thanks. Be well and stay safe. UK.

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks Robert, I enjoyed your comment.

[@Fatspurios]

@@WelderUpVegas very kind.

[@martincorbitt1979]

You bring alot of memories back to me when you explain things to people & your hitting home to me when you speak ,. So i hear you & understand you when you talk!!!! Good wishes to you Sir! Martin in South Ga!!!

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks Martin, I appreciate your comment. Good wishes to you also!

[@deanrobert8674]

In my opinion. All of the vehicles Steve has I'd like to own this one the most, there's something about old service trucks, with welderup tweeks.

[@queens.mimi4]

Steve I love this 1935 Ford fuel truck I love the look and it look so good on the road I enjoyed this video but to be honest I enjoy all your videos. I have been a big fan for many years I use to watch all your TV shows I watched you and your crew do some great builds, everytime I see you I want to beg you to build a rat rod for me, I have wanted one for many, many years its number 1 on my bucket list to own and drive my own rat rod. I'm a 65 grandmother I would love to drive my 4 grandkids in one it would be the most fun I've had in my 65 years

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thank you so much, could be the nicest compliment I have ever had. I hope you get your Rat Rod and make the best of memories with your grandkids. I have taken mine on some rides and they love it. Thanks for watching!

[@queens.mimi4]

@@WelderUpVegas You're the Best Steve Thank You ✌🏽

[@troyfox6671]

Steve , I absolutely love your passion and attention to all the details in all these old trucks. I’ve been driving a gas truck for 27 years and my grandfather drove a gas truck back in the 40s 50s and 60s here in Louisiana. Keep bringing these old trucks and cars back to life brother!!

[@WelderUpVegas]

Appreciate it Troy!

[@albertbasson6611]

The fender and cab lines in a '38 GMC is gorgeous.... Nice truck!!! Keep em coming!! Albert, South Africa..

[@russelmurray9268]

38 GMC I'm looking now thanks the mid 30's in my opinion the most beautiful cars ford's gmc RR hispanosuisa delahay everybody made nice looking rides

[@peterselten500]

My favorite episode love the truck an the gas collection

[@kenbabione7946]

I don't know if you will see this, but some of the old speedometer cables could be removed from their housings and greased. I've had 1940s vintage vehicles that I was able to dampen the speedometer bounce with a liberal coat of white grease on the cable. Love the truck, although I'm not that old yet, it does bring back memories of some of the old cars I had in the 60's. Great videos!

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks Ken, I'll give it try. Thanks for your comment!

[@sterlingwilkey2124]

As a kid in central utah in the late 70s early 80s we still had a furnace that used fuel oil. The guy who delivered (Wayne Beckstrom) it had a truck that looked just like this one. The last time I went threw town it was still there

[@MrsQueenBee5]

Loved touring WelderUp last year.👍

[@no1fixer958]

When you turned the corner a that small burst of black smoke came out,it looked so sinister and ominous on the road alone,very impressive Steve,keep up the great work.love the channel

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

Another life saved by the Welderup crew !

[@johnclunan4488]

Steve's passion and skill are outstanding, love watching your youtube videos!

[@ericg8598]

Another killer build from Steve and his Crew. Well done 🤙😎

[@johngleason8604]

It’s so cool how Steve respects the craftsman that made these vehicles. One talented fabricator to another! #groundedhumble

[@oversizestreetrod]

Great to see ya’ back! Hey i ran one of those motors in an’ FL 80 years ago as a local P&D single axle tractor… amazing torque outta’ that motor pullin’ a 32’ box ‘round town!

[@WelderUpVegas]

Very cool!

[@mikefedele4521]

I love seeing older trucks on the road. I like seeing that black smoke pour out those stacks.... Reminds me of old school h series cats they were out of the sixtys... Cool old ride love it.

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

I fell head over heels in love with that truck on your show when you guys built it super kool !!!

Thanks a lot Roy!

@@WelderUpVegas big big welcome bro and that's for sure man👊👊

[@morgansword]

I took a saginaw power assist system for power steering on the old ford (35) fire truck we had. I kept it original and it was lucky to get to a fire and help mop the building up clean cause the building burnt to the ground before the truck could get there/LOL. The lever on the transmission on this truck, was the lever that you lifted to get into reverse. It had a vacuum lever on the dash to shift the two speed and a lot of times it never went in before you needed a lower gear to make the hill or maintain speed which was about thirty five to a blinding speed downhill of say forty two or three mph. I put a electric motor on the steering as there was no room on the front to hang anything. It mounted to the steering system on the main drag link and a shock style on the tie rod end so it pushed or pulled depending on how that valve felt the pressure shift to the right or left. Everything had to be maintained well, cause any slack in it made the truck wander between the ditch lines BAD! All over the road but if thing were tight then great Nice old rig that you have and the cans in the back was what they pumped into and charged to you by as well, a price of twenty to forty cents per gallon as I didn't see the fuel pump meter there but again I don't see for sh*t! great video!

[@carl4043]

Great looking truck, Steve! Thank you so much for not painting clear gloss over the patina. I've never understood why you did that. How can patina be glossy? 🤔

[@patrickjm3487]

Brilliant oil truck Steve loving it man I think I seen you build this truck for a client of yours or is it the same truck!! Love the colours and faded paint it’s totally gorgeous tru out!! I really think this is one of the coolest trucks on your channel Steve It has a very famous name on it Union fuels and supplies etc etc etc Tommy and his wife Tiffany got another truck done by you as well would love to see it these days chassis’s and cab but a very cool truck !! Love the channel Steve and I hope you’re doing well man!! Your one of the hardest worker’s I’ve ever seen in a very long time!!!!

[@WelderUpVegas]

Thanks Patrick, appreciate it!

A cowl vent was not an option on any Ford truck from '32-'52. Every truck was equipped with a cowl vent!!!

[@Cheapsh0t247]

does it still function as a fuel truck, would be ideal for dessert racing support or similar sports that chunk through the fuel

[@Sm011ville]

You just described my grandfather and showed his truck except the part about the PTO and the fuel pump. That didn't come until later. It may have had a small engine powered pump.

[@mikehickman3635]

Our heater in the parents first farm house ran on fuel oil (coal oil )

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

LoL..cig liter in a fuel truck and will bet they fired up while driving.. that's why they needed the extinguisher in the cab arms reach from the driver's seat... drove a 2 1/2 ton international flat bed with tools, telephone,power or fiber optic materials depending on the job and I towed a 3 axel equipment trailer w/ a case 580k backhoe ...later on we put 2 500 gal water tanks and pulled a direction boring machine all with that cumins 4 cyl...great work horses.

really cool, that Thing!

Absolutely beautiful! I am restoring a 1950 Dodge Power Wagon (shameless plug for my videos). The flying Pegasus on the back! I remember back in the 1960’s there was Pegasus “clown car” made for parades, I hope somebody finds it and restores it,

[@1928ModelA1931]

Actually the Ford who pushed the styling forward in the '30s was Edsel. Son was not like father. Henry was famous for his 'just leave it alone because it works' attitude. Edsel was the style leader. Henry didn't even want to end the Model T but Edsel saw how the competition was leaving them in the dust. He had already overseen the styling of the Lincolns of the late '20s and saw how the Model A could incorporate similar design features. Thus the Model A was a huge hit. It was very much Henry's mind that gave us the advanced mechanical innovations like the flathead but his boy was the one who made the Fords were pretty.

Luv to have that old white dodge coupe

[@meadmaker4525]

Another one supposedly built for a customer, and it now lives with Steve. Were all of the customers on the TV show fake? I notice most of the cars end up in Steve's show room regardless, so it just seems that way. Not like we don't love the builds, and the show, but just seems odd. Also, is there going to be a season 5?

[@halstonholcomb373]

being the break down of the vehicles is awesome, do the diamond t hauler next or the old doge truck !

[@johnmarkluke]

Funny thing, I love the KZbin videos better than the cable show! Great truck, would love to see the fuel tank(s) turned into cargo/bike hauler space inside while retaining the original look outside.

Great truck, I think ford was lucky to have Dodge onboard in the early days teaching ford how to build components, may have been a totally different story without the Dodge boys.

[@russelmurray9268]

When was Dodge educating Ford like what years

[@100texan2]

Russel Murray in the early 1900’s Dodge brothers supplied chassis, etc. worked for Henry Ford and had great influence

[@denniswilliams8747]

In those days tractors , some would start on gas and after warm up switch a valve to tractor fuel which was a distillate, a little lighter than kerosene. More power and cheaper than gas. Thanks
