@tima6549 Жыл бұрын

The build is cool and all, but being that that particular truck was in such great original condition I wouldn't have touched it other than just a freshening. Should have kept it original

@mozdobrowne1390 Жыл бұрын

They didn't want it original

@zanesolsman6161 Жыл бұрын

Original is nice to look at . But that has the same look for 85% of the population and the ability to travel further and in comfort. I drove those old trucks, and the hardest part of the day was the driving

@kaleblesmeister2954 Жыл бұрын

I agree with that old fuel truck they ruined isn't going to sell if they ever sell it due to the fact it's not original anymore they could've just updated the brakes The engine but no they totally destroyed everything that was original including the engine.

@markofthejt1995 Жыл бұрын

If they just changed the engine, adjusted the suspension and brakes to modernization... added the AC. But left everything else alone. It would of been perfect. Instead they copied the modern trucks into an oldie making it feel cheap and useless. Like a fat hooker with a slim shady tattoo.

I was looking forward to seeing it drop on the airbags, especially the trailer. Did I miss it?

@jaycustom21 Жыл бұрын

Sadly, they didn't show it because it wasn't what you're thinking. It wasn't to be able to slam the truck and trailer into the weeds, the air ride was only installed to make the ride more comfortable. Not to lift and lower the truck. Watch the ending again, when they first show the finished truck. There's not even any room to lower it between the top of the tire and the wheel well.

@randbaldwin Жыл бұрын

I figured. I just wish they hadn't left the talk of dropping it for parades and shows in the video @3:59, then not doing/showing it. Cheers.

@jaycustom21 Жыл бұрын

Yea. Did you notice how Bill said something like "and drop it down a little bit" ? They don't do anything a little bit there lol. If it's made to be low it scrapes the ground. If it's got a lift, you need a ladder to get in. So I guess the air ride was actually for the quality of the ride, and you probably can drop it at most an 1" or 2" but they didn't make it that way. It's just a by product of air ride. It most likely would have been a let down had they shown the truck lower only an inch and a quarter.🤣

@randbaldwin Жыл бұрын

I'm good with it. I wouldn't want a classic rig like that to be overpimped. My point is they oversold the idea.

At least make it where you can actually use it. And a pickup diesel isn’t exactly size for a truck that can gross 40k lbs either. Make sure to keep the air brakes too because juice brakes gonna suck at stopping all that
