  • Brent, I've seen many many push lock style air tubing fittings over my years as a machine tool repairman. I've also seen many fail too. I would HIGHLY recommend spares in the glove box. They're small enough to keep a handful in the vehicle. It's weird I've seen some of these last for years and some not so much. Various styles (plastic, or nylon, or brass doesn't seem to matter all that much really). Just wanted to put my 2 cents in (sorry idk the Canadian 2 cents or looneys twofers or what have you lol). As always love the video. Btw the music (which I've always thought your selections were mostly perfect over the last few years I've watched your channel) anyway the music when you're painting the back of the cab at the beginning was perfect. And I'm picky. Thanks.

  • When you show us outside and i think of the old shop and the little garage after the fire, then you pan the camera around thew new shop and its like HEAVAN on Earth. Wow so much room, so much light, all your stuff in one building and available to use it is just so nice. You sure have earned that shop Brent and I am glad to be a tiny part of trying to help you get there. God Bless and lets build some Hot Rods! D

  • My appreciation of this build just improved with your color choice on the rear of the cab. I think it will look really nice in that neon green/yellow or as I knew it back in 69, sassy grass green.

  • I was able to see a better view of the bed when you put it back on, and it's got some really good lines to it and understand now why you changed up the rear fenders. Your new light help a lot. It's going to show well, looking forward to see what you do for rims and how the top will look.

  • Funny - this truck... the way it looks... makes me think of a recent build on Salvage to Savage. They customized a blue and white pickup ... and are still in the middle of it I think. The bed doesn't have a bottom on it, and it looks a lot like yours... but I guess it would look like any pickup truck - even as far back as 1949. If you haven't seen it, you might want to check it out. They are an upscale resto-mod builder, from what I understand. You make stuff work... and they work on pricey stuff. Enjoying the build. Thanks for sharing this project with us.

  • You need too pull the plug(s) on the lower side of the block in the middle near the oil pan it's a 9/16 plug. You can drain almost all the water out of the block this way. Should take both out to drain both sides of the block. I like your Channel. Keep up the good work.

    • While the plugs are out find out the correct one and put a block heater in it. Finally put one in my AMC 258 I6 in my CJ7 last fall and it’s started great all winter long.
