[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

That dog loved Brags. Animals can tell good people

[@rustym43]

Any cab over

[@lornperkins4270]

I got the opportunity to drive a newer f-150 and my gas mileage was 10 ....only 10 mpg which really sucks and I wasn't pulling anything just highway driving. They're nice but they are Gas hogs

[@Bodie2020]

I saw a few things im interested in up there I’ll definately give them a call.

[@Habeev07]

31:35 Do you know what kind of Cornbinder was his favorite truck? I love me an international too. My dad drove a 9300 log truck when I was younger and I always loved how big and square those grilles were. I wonder what kind of "cornbinder" was his favorite?

[@GentrysWorld]

Just want to say to everyone thank you for the support! Can’t wait to see what the future holds working with Tim.

[@noahcarroll5867]

Man I absolutely loved the shop talk with the old timer, that’s the kinda thing the worlds missing 💯🤙

[@mikeburne7581]

I was a helicopter mechanic in the Royal Air Force, 1978 to 1981, then I moved over to fixed wing and finally the Harrier. Give my best regards to your brother, I wish you all a great Xmas and new year.

[@bigrvs3891]

2500 HD 02 model ..58 thousand miles ...with durmax..been kept in my garage all it life..one of a kind good trucks

[@Gentryandsons]

How much?

[@suzylarry1]

And this is how you grow ! Talk the talk , walk the the walk and swap the parts !

[@johndavid3385]

Man you Tim could make a lifetime of videos of our old school drivers and their stories. Nothing better to listen to then that. Just like Johnny cash's old owner I forgot his name but his stories man soothes my soul for real. Y'all probably thinking I'm a funny boy but I'm telling ya them stories do. Thank you Tim for this video I needed that. Iv been down in depression pretty deep and this video helped me a lot once again brother thank you. Much love and respect from your neighbor in southeast show me.

[@michaelbrown6792]

Driving back in the 80s was some of best year's everyone helped each other if you broke down on the highway it wasn't nothing to have 2 other driver's stop and help you never had a need to pack a gun either.

[@craigcarter5862]

love just sitting around with the old timer's

[@markburch7967]

Reliving my childhood in this one Tim. Thanks for keeping this channel real my friend!

[@joeziegler9054]

Thank you for your service sir! My son was USMC stationed at New River NC. He is also a vet now. He rebuilt the power plants on the CH53 helos.

[@GentrysWorld]

I have flown on many 53’s very cool aircraft.

[@Torqu3d]

That "Just a Phase" red truck is simply beautiful! Love seeing the custom rigs, thanks for bringing us along on the trip!

[@robertsmarr9592]

I want to thank your brother for his service without men and women like him we would not be free my mom and dad served and Desert Storm my grandfather on my dad's side served in World War II Vietnam and Korea he passed away in 1970 with two silver stars and a Purple Heart

[@jamesfalls3310]

A beautiful blast from our Past.

[@thomaskaradeema9894]

Thanks to your brother for his service!!

[@ServantofYaHi777]

Poor Brax , is dying on that couch , ROF I remember those days going with my dad listening to hrs of conversations.

[@jamesharkness1058]

Amazing video! Loved all the old school trucks and talking about how things were back in the day!

[@JASONH01]

Gearing in the front and rear axles and full tune and delete will not only bring milage up but also unlock the real power and torque of that amazing for 6.7

[@lylechapman9757]

What an awesome couple of guys, you could spend a week there talking to them and looking at what they have. Thanks for sharing with us Tim

[@vaughnhill3437]

That ole boy there is a large car designing guru at the least. Very good fabricator and builder

[@duaneayers6117]

That red truck is one of the prettiest trucks out here today. Wow

[@jeremycardwell2851]

Awesome video I would’ve love to be sitting in that room talking and listening to the stories you all told and getting to take a first hand look of the work and how trucking used to be

[@rayhiller]

Please tell your little brother I said thank you for his service in the military. Y'all have a great week

[@idasedin4626]

Rob can do almost anything with stainless steel ❤

[@HyperActive7]

First off I want to thank your brother for his service to our country and I wish I could shake his hand face to face because these people who sacrifice everything to defend our country deserve more respect then they get. Second off, what really capped your visit to Sh was when you were able to find the parts you needed for Johnny Cash sitting in a pile on their property. You'd never see that from any big city dealer or parts specialist unless they had really good connections like him.

[@jaredspear8140]

Tim I couldn’t stay awake last night to finish the video but was excited to wake up and enjoy the rest over a cup of coffee before I go pour 50-70 yds of concrete this morning. I’m over the moon about what these good ole Boys are doing to Weston’s sleeper and everything else coming out of this shop! Hopefully one day I’ll have a big custom rig hauling our race car around. Thanks brother. These guys know what they’re doing for sure!

[@stevensibley3552]

Fuel mileage will get better. Break it in and it should avg 18 to 21 mpg

[@davidmaust1415]

Nice to get some great ideas and superb job for Westen's build, and parts/into to get Johnny cash running again.

[@roberts208]

Put 3 inch body lifts on them makes a WORLD of a difference

[@jaroslavstarek3558]

Moc Vás Všechny pozdravuju z České republiky ! Skvělého ŠÉFA a správnou partu šikovných chlapů ! Moc pozdravuju ! 👍👍👍

[@jacknuzzy279]

The chrome lubifiner and the power steering resivoir used to be held together outside the hood usually when you ordered a 1693ta with a brakesaver and if you really got fancy you got the air assist hood opener with the switch like and inter axle or a sliding fifth wheel down at the bottom of the drivers door frame guess I’m showing my age! Be safe big guy

[@ALNunnery]

Hello Hey Hi and Howdy Yall.. can't wait to see Johnny Cash truck strollin down the road

[@tonypadgett6641]

I quit driving after 9 months but your videos make me want to build a 379 the way I always wanted one

[@kylenevill1387]

Absolutely love the video absolutely nothing better then hereing some stories and details from old school over the road cowboy awesome to see the old truck especially that 71 small window keep up the bad a stuff

[@brianwestveer9532]

Egr delete, cold air intake, and bigger exhaust, programer,on the Ford, the sweet spot for mileage 65 mph.

[@vaughnhill3437]

I fell in love with trucking at about 1976. My first ever truck ride was a 1969 dodge diesel 2 stroke detroit road ranger 13 speed hauling grain. I will never forget that right. My second ride was in a 1978 mack conventional pulling a old 20 dump trailer. It was slow as heck . I think top speed was like 56 mph

[@tombryant8405]

Hey Tim, I've got a 6.7 2022 f250. It's getting 21mpg and abt 15 to 18 pulling a 21ft boat. I know that not anything like what your pulling probably but I didn't start getting decent milage till it got broke in. Abt 2500 miles on it. Also make sure your using the different driving modes. In eco mode you will get the best mpg when not towing.

[@timbullins6852]

Man my uncle had a 70 or 71 little window pet first time my dad let me drive never forget that.

[@thomasbailey8306]

The best thing I ever did too my 2005 Chevy Duramax was put a 5 in exhaust on No Muffler and a PPE Tuner. I went from 16 mpg to 24 too 25 Mpg and a K&N Air Filter. Love my Duramax. Thats what you need too do to that ford. Is buy a Chevy Duramax..LOL...HAHA..Just jokin. Cant wait to see Westons truck done..That old International Paystar was a Good running old trucks. Thats back when Truckers were truckers. Everyone helped everyone...Instead like the truckers today.

[@robertweigandt9449]

My kind of people Tim.

[@joeferreira7382]

For sure Buba's got some big bucks in his truck , That baby was done presteen , over here in clarksford calif , they have a shop that build up old trucks and put all the new running gear , They done this 1965 330 inch wheelbase PETERBILT , What a beauty , They done it for a younger dude , He told me $375,000 bucks , took them right around 3 years to build , This 1965 is king of the road for sure , a lot of patience a lot of time to build

[@mikelindsay3105]

So your brother can make those trucks get down the road?? Make them FLY?? LOL

[@axshunjaxon4561]

Mannnnn I LOVE this channel. God Bless you and your family Tim.

[@kroge007]

Tim You need to clean or replace those plastic headlights on those Chevy pick ups so your drivers can see better at night. Someone told me one time that “easyoff” works.

[@nathanwoten6236]

Best thing is the Mothers Kit they got at the parts stores that comes with the ball that goes on your drill. I love that thing and after u use up all the stuff it comes with u can use any ol polish or cleaner want. Another one is the turtle wax little kit that has them little 2 sided sanding pads. I've used that kit and had good results each time. It takes a little more elbow grease but works pretty well

[@kavanguffey2904]

Hey Tim, love the channel. Lots of guys around my parts use 6.7s has feed trucks and the swear on deleting one and fuel economy/tow tune. My old 14 got 18 mpg loaded with a butler bed and cuber. You give a young man like myself looks of knowledge

[@fsctrucking]

Orwell has a chain drive window....

[@printer1105]

Engines not motors..motors are electric..the new thing ...progress is great.

[@artyart31]

Damn imagine working on that shop floor.. jeeez

[@FreightlinerFLD]

Overall "Freightliner" Rules!

[@MISGUIDED_MISFIT]

Tell your bother THANK YOU FOR HIS SERVICE

[@illphill5588]

Love to see my Kentucky people on the channel

[@matthiaschupp6400]

It’s still braking in. I have a friend that got one and he didn’t get great fuel mileage till after a few thousand miles. But you could look into a stealth module it pugs in to a stock truck and helps with fuel mileage. He also rigged up and after market paper air filter and high flow aftermarket intercooler.

[@jefferyreedy7587]

Love your channel as I’m a truck driver and done

[@jefferyreedy7587]

@messagemeontelegramtimgent2019 Hi there getting back to your reply to the winner

[@TheOUboy]

Great video very cool guys.

[@chadhofstetter7759]

Absolutely loved this video

[@michaelgreen4838]

Your lucky mine 2021 TRUCKS get 9 mpg loaded or empty !

[@woodennickel48]

I learned to drive a big truck in 1978 in an IH 4300, 13 speed with the old rubber pad suspension and a cummins 350. It was a rough ride to bob tail in but not to bad with a load on. It was a transfer dump truck set up. Yep I still love that old conventional 4300. I also had a 1968 Pete cab over with a tiny sleeper, it had a two stick (4X4)transmission with a 335 cummins it was not a fancy model did not even have A/C and it got HOT down in southern ca. hauling tomatoes from El Centro Ca. to Gilroy Ca.. But the truck was so light it could haul a heavy load. I love your channel with Braxton. Keep up the good work. Sadly I had to give up my CDL a couple of yrs. ago at 72 y/o just to old to be trucking. Enjoying the retired life and your channel.

[@woodennickel48]

@gentry0..... Claim prize

[@woodennickel48]

@gentry0..... I'm not sure what to do to claim the prize. What do you need from me?

[@anthonyrocha8039]

Friend of mine had the same issue with fuel mileage on the exact same truck. Long story short he got rid of it back to a Ram

[@orlandoperez3006]

beautiful rigs, thanks takes for taking us along

[@nikolatesic94]

You need to make a podcast with old truckers, man that would be good content...

[@donaldstilson6363]

Thank you for making your videos and I really enjoy watching your videos so thank you again for making them

[@karloz83]

Awesome as love the old rigs. Cannot wait to see Johnny cash as well as westerns truck 💪🏽 We are trying to work out what year make engine and model to go in aus for our first prime mover as our tray truck is busy as and time to go bigger. 2006 pre egr and no dpf or ad blue I’m thinking

[@tomboone201]

Tim, I use Rust-Oleum satin or gloss on my trailers, truck frames and racks in my business not semi's but service trucks in the construction industry, it's cheaper, holds up better, easy to touch up scratched up, I brush & roll unless I can't reach it very well them I'll thin it with paint thinner and shoot it or grab a can, I used to want the best remembered cleanest trucks but now I want ease, clean .. and like you I use old trucks ( in a smaller size) now I'm looking at older trucks with a more modern drive line... If I wanted to be remembered by my trucks I'd do like your wife said and paint them all pink & black I thought that yrs ago .. we have a towing company here in Detroit that does all pink trucks ..you remember them that's for sure

[@DrDiff952]

Thank you Tim's Brother for your service

[@damarkushammond8775]

Welcome back lil Bro 💪🏾💯 When do we get to see more of his Cabover since he's Back 🤨🤔

[@Doral08]

I would love to see yall build one of those 280"-320" super sleepers that has basically a small apartment inside it. They have the table/bed, flat screen tv, 2 burner stove top, microwave, fridge, enclosed toilet and shower and some of the bigger sleepers have the small apartment sized stackable washer/dryer. Now I know it would cost a ton of money to do but if you had a driver that worked 5-7 days a week on the road doing loads. I think a super sleeper would save money in the long run when it comes to that driver. Just a thought...

[@kevinkirk3918]

Faster to swap moters than doing the heads.. Pulling and rebuild what came out...

[@Drew_379]

Keep the content coming Tim!

[@quackquack6116]

Awesome video really enjoyed it

[@tylermurphy6938]

Lol I couldn't get past the dog licking it's private parts in Brax's lap 🤣🤣🤣

[@dustinellis9321]

Wish they made stuff for International 's

[@scottycollins1829]

They make items for ANY MAKE/MODEL

[@charlesdennis7583]

Think maybe on the sleeper putting a single door on the back an windows on both sides would work better. Lookin good tho

[@pierspim4341]

An excellent video. I especially liked listening to the assortment of eccentrics.

[@shawnchurch316]

The most common causes of duramax head gasket failure are overheating and not replacing the coolant with proper gm approved coolant. Whenever I replace a duramax water pump, I tig weld the gear to the shaft to prevent slippage, which is common on aftermarket replacement water pumps. I always recommend replacing the radiator with a high quality name brand aluminum radiator.

[@dlp5541]

Been running Fords for years and never have had any problems with them to speak of but I don’t mess with factory settings but they have never been fuel friendly. I have a few 6.7s 4x4s the 350 duallys average 13.6 mpg the 450 11.7mpg and my 250s about 17mpg. As soon as you hook a trailer to them you’ll loose 3-5mpg

[@edlacen4964]

It would be a full time job cleaning that truck. I got work to do.

[@tracymankey9314]

That man is amazing he does awesome work very smart

[@gatornomad7479]

look like you and Braxton were in a candy shop with a pocket full of quarters lol , God Bless yoiu'll

[@tater_relocater]

Sounds like you were a smart shopper. Brand new sleeper😂

[@foodforthought73]

found a couple cab overs sitting around here if loking to buy more, i could do some leg work if so.

[@tyrrellrunnells2339]

The 6.7 power stroke. You need to get the disaster prevention kit installed ASAP and get the truck deleted and get a Bd diesel screamer turbo put on. And you will get 20 miles per gallon.

[@thomaslawson2802]

Really look forward to all your videos and content Stay safe

[@anthonycunningham5872]

Take a look at Car Wizard KZbin Channel. He bulletproofed a Northstar V8 using aftermarket parts to stop similar problems with GM engines.

[@jacobpennington327]

Run stanadyne performance formula in all of your diesel pickup trucks 8 ounces each fill up I notice a big difference in power and fuel economy in my LB7.

[@5.3_Davin]

When your towing semi sleepers it usually just eats down on your mpg but your most likely not all the way done with the breakin and it also might need an oil change in it

[@Axial32]

Deleting will help, but a tune will help also

[@scottsandiford2963]

I like the fords too. But I've heard they don't get good milage, especially from 2008. The Ram has the 6 cylinder the Ford has 8 so I'd either buy another Ram or even a Ford with the Cummins in it. I e had both I love the Cummins. But I'm a Ford guy too. I have a 1987 Ford F-250 with the 6!9 liter international engine. Probably has 400 thousand miles on it. But everything is original just replaced the hoses sealed from the factory in June starter in May and water pump and brake buster and that's about it.

[@scottsandiford2963]

@Gentry_and_son_trucking_16 no thanks scammer. Stop trying to scam people. And your being reported to KZbin.. I hate scammers!!!

[@tripod6406]

Do us all a favour Tim, ask SH TUBE to do more videos please, love to watch them work!

[@trucker1950]

Real good video ..

[@robertironside3166]

Hey Tim, Junkyard Digs... buddy was a Hellecopter mechanic in one of the services over seas and so on. Forget his name but it'd be cool to get your brother and him together to talk shop a bit. You'd dig on his channel too. Oh and Yay, some Johnny Cash content! NICE!! :-)) Ever check into that yard near Wilson's in Florida where that 73 Freightliner cabover is hanging out? That thing ran for him a year and a half ago [8v92 mind you but the cab was in great shape].

[@patrickbrooks7954]

oh damm Timm you took me right back to my younger trucking days with the Ohio Transport paperwork

[@blue.collar.man.]

If you want fuel mileage out of that food, you need to slow the speed down to around 65-70mph. And do a possible delete and a GOOD tune on it. CAI would help too.

[@cgfishingandoutdoors9336]

Can’t wait tell you do something with Johnny cash truck

[@robertbegbie2907]

I saw that beautiful W9 at the 75 Chrome shop in Wildwood in Nov, Bubba had this and another truck parked right in the front as you walked up, all I can say is it must be nice to have money 💰 lol

[@7point3]

I gained 5 to 6 mpg (empty) by doing weight reduction on my old quad cab 2015 F350 4x4 on 33s with 3.55 gears. I'd give it a shot.

[@rce8540]

That is an interesting man. I started back in seventies. Love to here him talk old trucks.

[@stevegolden5958]

It’s too nice for Timmy

[@grannyd.5165]

Oh we love you in Canada❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@MegaEaglelover]

Thank U to Ur Brother for His Service from a Fellow Vet 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸 on that note, what’s the story on His Cab Over? Just curious

[@patoverend7395]

Tim best not let dave sparks know your brother is a helicopter mechanic he'll poach him to work on his helicopter lol
