Is it just me or is this better than Dirt Every Day? It just seems more like the real-life normal guy getting it done. Love the Channel Bru.

Please don't ever paint Mom's Spaghetti, it's becoming an iconic look like Frieburgers General Mayhem.

I feel like there isn't enough content about this truck and Dave acts like it's not important sometimes. But all of his really unique additions need to be explored.

“I’m sure there is a better way to do this, but I don’t know that way”. My entire hot rodding life summed up in a sentence.

"I'm not in the business of restoring old trucks" breaks out the sawzaw.

Awsome man love seeing the build and the realistic fix not just new shiny stuff

" I'm not really in the business of restoring trucks" lmfao

I have been impatiently waiting for a new dirt everyday episode and found your channel today and learned it won’t be coming back. I’m sad there won’t be anymore DED but excited about this channel! you got a sub from me.

“I’m really not in the business of restoring old trucks.” So true, so very true😂

I see this truck had the rare factory option of the mouse house cabin air filter! 🤣

Funny you did this. A few months ago I got into my wife’s two year old Nissan Frontier, and as you said, it smelled horrible. When I opened up the blower and heater, it was so full I don’t know how the blower was running. They transplanted a moving blanket in the garage to the truck’s ductwork. Found a total of two adult and probably a dozen baby dead mice. Pulled it all apart, cleaned it up and smells nice and fresh now.

this truck is amazing. Dave, thank you for the content as always. keeep it comin

Glad you’re putting something back into the truck as far as heat. One can off-road without heat. My concern was no defrost. Being a guy who lived many years up in the northwest I was concerned for safety reasons. My 61 Willis had two heaters similar to your Mardene and I never had issues. In fact, quite often it was almost too hot.

I love this truck that old school pre runner style bumper is awesome. One thing I always throw in my vehicles in winter is a gel type sterno can ,they can save your bacon and fry it.

Love this truck Dave! I had my 1997 OBS F250 burn the cab and engine bay from a nest in the heater box. I was buying it back from a guy and he started it up and it caught fire while he was inside getting the title. When I got there it was out, but the dash, windshield, and heater were all burned up. It almost burned his building down as the wiring for the shifter interlock burned and he couldn't move it away from the building. He had to beat it out with his shirt!

Reminds me of my fav 80’s rock band “Ratt”!⚡️⚡️🤘🏻🤘🏻

We appreciate all youre one arm struggles thanks for sharing 👍

Totally dig the front bumper on Mom's Spaghetti. You managed to make a stock bumper look awesome. I think you invented a new style, tasteful Mad Max.

Just breathing in moldy spore mouse poo, but at least it's warm 🤣

Nice to see her out and about again. Can't wait for the next video.

Nice!! I got the Holley Retro Bright headlights on my 2000 Jeep XJ. I went with the yellow ones myself.

You could try and use a utility attachment for a shop vac to run ducts from the box to the factory squares

Really liked this episode, lots of tips and tricks. Be sure to follow up on your heater. Let us know how it worked for you. Thanks for sharing Dave. Keep up the great work.

We really need a pacific nw ultimate adventure that is held during the winter. You'd tear it up 💪🏼

That rig is RAD!!!

I'm late to the party, very kind of you to have a seat available, missed you.

Always anxious for the next video and tips and tricks. Thanks Dave. I have used Vintage Air heaters in a couple of projects. They are reasonable, have floor, defrost, or mix, 3 speed fans. They also pull inside air but when it is in a soft top...no worries. In my Willy's, I just ran the defroster hoses up the front of the dash and attached the vent ends to the roll cage cross member with Velcro. That way they can be removed easily in the summer.

Such a great upgrade…..still one of my favorite builds of yours👍🏻👊🏻

Love moms spaghetti , such an awesome rig. Looking forward to your next video Dave.

You will never bore me with this truck! More Mum's Spaghetti!!

I absolutely love the way that truck sits. I have an 86 f150 that I’m going to be building to leave out in JV. The look of the bullnose with a step side and big tires looks so awesome!

Well there you are, I’ve been lookin all over the place for you!

Hunter is the brand tire changer you want. Great work on the ford! Love it!

Knees are weak, palms are sweaty

I like that old truck. Old school full size trucks are cool. Love the content, you're killing it. Appreciate the work making these

Mouse house was massive! I love that truck was great to see you wrenching on it again.

I was worried you had painted it! At the end of the day it's your truck, but it looks so dang cool as is

Moms spaghetti is the coolest truck ever! My dad had a tan long bed when I was in high school always thought that truck was awesome.

Wow.....that heater was packed.....FULL. Its hard to get that mouse urine smell out. And the particulates from it make you sicker than a dog. Ask me how I know. Thanks for the journey into the unknown! 😁

It might have been easier to clean the mouse turds up before you built the truck. Those two weirdos at the end looked warm and happy tho.

Glad to see you guys again

Such an awesome rig. Thanks for the content, always happy to see a new video from you.

Good watching 👀. Keep up the good work

One time I was driving that '69 Chevy longbed on the 94 and I thought it would be a good idea to open the crotch cooler door for the first time.. A blast of mice, insect, pine needles and other horribleness blasted out a my junk at about 60 MPH.

Dave, you're doing good man. Keep it up.

Mom's spaghetti always gets a click!

This truck is inspiration for my '84 bronco I've been neglecting to pull out of the "tree row". Thanks for all the great content

Some fiberglass fenders up front would look rad!!!

So happy to see more full size Ford content!

Mom's spaghetti gives me motivation to get my f350 done!

I love this truck. It has “the look” ! Keep it rad Dave.

I love the heater core, it reminds of one’s I saw on military equipment. They weren’t pretty we’d use them as a foot rest, but they worked. If I ever had a beater with a clogged heater core buried under the dash I’d drill a few holes and install one of these for heat.

You sure that mouse nest isnt actually a cabin filter .😃😁🐀🐀🐀

Thanks for showing the Holley RetroBrights, never seen them before. Wanted to upgrade to LED for a while now but I dislike the tacky futuristic 7" LEDs everyone seems to put in their classics nowadays. Definitely gonna get the RetroBrights for my FJ40.

Eat your heart out Vintage air! We now have Chappelle Air that also rhymes with Bel-air which is also cool too! Soo...... yeah. Rock on!

Hey cool, that box has my name on it! 😂

Always dropping solid tips keep up the good work!

Dave, you need more videos!! I am craving MORE!!!!

Good stuff Dave!

Mom's Spaghetti is such a cool looking truck.

Love the channel Dave, keep em comin 😁

I had the same experience removing the heater/AC box from my 78 W100… expected to be simple and ended up being a MAJOR pain.

I love watching you build stuff!!

Awesome stuff Dave! Looking forward to the next spaghetti serving.

I love those square Fords, she'd look awesome OD Green! I painted my 95 F 150 OD , I miss that truck! Although I don't miss driving it here in NY, my First Gen Tacoma S.A.Swap Mini Truck works a lot better in this tight ass place!

Wow that certainly needed removing ! Although it’s a simple unit at least you’ll have some heat whilst winter wheeling, nice job. 👍🏽😎

Finally, back to my favorite build! Keep it rockin', Dave, I bleed Ford Blue!

Its tuff to beat a beater with a heater in the northwest, that's for sure.

Love the video, thank you for giving us excellent content. How are you kicking along ? Hope you and the family are doing well and some royalties help keep you afloat. Prayers for you and your family. Take care

You should get some of the vise grip garage patina juice for that rig...

I love this truck and want to build something similar to it. Thanks for the great content.

Dave "Hantavirus" Chappelle

The coolest truck ever. I love seeing moms spaghetti

Great vid, thanks! Pack rats are my mortal enemy. I've actually put screens on my fresh air intakes to keep them out, but I still have crap falling in to the fan. Hate those things.

Cool Andre the Giant sticker

Nice headlights! I was trying to make Sylvania Silverstar’s work in my CJ. They burned out way too often, so I went with some Hella H4’s. The Hella lights were way better. I had my KC’s wired so if I engaged them, they would only come on with High beams (still useful) when I figured out that wiring trick, I also did my reverse flood so it would come on only in reverse, with high beams on. Relays opened up all sorts of options when I figured out how to use them. I bet those leds draw a lot less than my H4’s. When they die I may opt for them.

I like this truck. I like that it is different. Jeeps are great but variety is the spice of life. I think you'll definitely need to hook up that defroster. I know when we get a cold rain it is almost inevitable that the inside of my windshield fogs no matter what I drive. Seem like you were just trying to get it functional for this trip so mission accomplished there. Without A/C I would have it pull air in from the outside permanently. I find this help keep my vehicles more comfortable. Just need some 1/4" screen over the opening to keep critters out. That's more of a luxury, though.

Mom's spaghetti is my favorite. Good to see you wrenching in it.

Awesome. Have fun wheelin

Love Mom's spaghetti! Might look into adding a little insulation in the cab to try and keep some heat in there.

Nice work Dave 🤘 Went from Rat Truck to Rad Truck

Im a firm believer in seat heaters for winter wheelin. I put a kit off EBay into my Tj’s stock seats a decade ago. They work way better than the crap OEM heater.

That old bike on the right was sweet!

Glad they haven't invented Smell-O-Vision yet.

Snow wheeling with LED lights. It isn't fun getting out every 5 miles to wipe off the lights, because you can't see. The ones with heat elements in them cost a bunch. Keep up the videos man!

I've seen other you tubers talk about these new lights from Holley. So I went to Holley's web site. Geeze Louise. They are really proud of them. I guess it's still gonna be old school halogens for my stuff. I'm just to cheap.

Sawzall for the win! Lolol

Mom's spaghetti is so Rad! Really makes me want to build my own crawler called 'Vomit Sweater' haha!

Great video

That’s why I only buy brand new rock crawlers. No mice to worry about.

I used a heater like that in a 74 ford. Worked like a champ. It was marine style heater.

I always used a skill saw for aluminum but i always turned the blade backwards 🤷‍♂

Nice older Truck you have.

Totally what I needed to see because I'm facing the same mouse problem in my bullnose. I've been looking at the Flex-a-lite Mojave heaters, but I'm now going to check out Maradyne. Thanks for presenting that option.

Tires so big they bash your wiring and heater box is savage 😁🤣

The rear good question I have. What are those purple cranks on that old mountain bike leaning up? Could breathe some life back into that thing and have it be a fun campground/trailside bike.

I’m pretty happy with the Patagonias on my full size 2nd gen

I'm not sure if it will matter with the temperatures that you will see there, but generally for windshield defrosting/defogging you need fresh outside air. Recirculating air from in the cab doesn't work to keep the windows clear because it's not dry enough. Hope this helps!

Old hard tail mountain bikes, pry bars and sawzAlls my guy 🤘🏾moms spaghetti is heroin! please don’t change its overall appearance . those trucks remind me of a simpler time, just a rad build. grandpas old truck on roids !!
