I see a lot of people saying you are blessed to have your dad with you Travis, I do not think that is where the blessing is. As someone who never got along with their dad, I’d say you are blessed to have a good relationship with your father Travis. And that is something to be thankful for everyday, so don’t ever let things get in the way of a good relationship with your father.

I watch channels like yours more than regular television. Keep up the content

Know that you’re blessed to have your dad with you, I lost mine way to young.

your dad must have been the go to guy at the dealership he worked at..his calm and thoughtful process to solve a problem is a pleasure..and to pass that knowledge on to you is great..the best Father/Son channel on YT..

Travis another outstanding job! Those GM trucks were the coolest! You’re also blessed to have your Dad with you, cherish every day the Lord gives you with him.

the visor makes it! Great looking truck. I love vehicles that aren’t “shiny”. You can drive ‘em anywhere!

I may have another speedometer at my shop in Oregon, I’m going up there in a couple of weeks and coming back around 1 June I will bring it with me if I have it and you can have it

Your work is very creative in solving problem. It's fun to watch you work. Thanks for the effort.

Great choice of colour for the seat, really goes well with the truck! Always nice to see your dad too!

Nice work, I like the fact that you just put it back to a functional condition, improved where needed. You preserved the history of the truck for the next care taker who comes behind you.

I've always appreciated your attention to detail. The difference between, being able to drive your truck.. And wanting to drive your truck. Awesome content as usual. Also, looking forward to the El Camino.

That dude did awesome job on the seat

That heater was a lucky find.

You hit the nail on the head, the little things are the first thing that I notice and it cracks me up when people say that no one will notice that. I think most people notice that

Travis, you have done and are doing an awesome job on that truck. Great video.

Good job Travis. Looking great (except for the visor 😢)

The truck is looking great ! Thanks for another , Brother !

Love it! Love seeing these shows about just getting vehicles like this on the road. Nothing fancy, nothing extra... They're much more relatable than other shows about 200k builds.

Really enjoyed this rebuild....! Thanks!!

Caddy is called that because in Europe the Rabbit has always been called the Golf. A workhorse Golf being called a Caddy is just good fun.

So much fun watching this old classic come together!

Brings back memories. In the late 60's we got a 47 Chevy for the ranch, and it became "my" truck. It had some old 4 cylinder flathead that ran so well, we got a straight 6 engine from my uncle from some old Crysler. Converted to 12 volt. Anyway...I agree with the visor. It made the truck look dignified & important I thought (ok, I was a teenager and it was mine). It had the vacuum-operated windshield wipers that were miserable in operation, but the good news was with the visor, rain rarely hit the windwhield. I had a couple truck mirrors for each side. Also rigged a spare tire holder right behind the cab, much easier to use. It was a great truck, way too much fun to drive and I still have fond memories of it.

That seat looks great. Good on you for fixing the dome light, it's so cool when everything works on an old car or truck

What a great driver! I enjoyed watching this whole build. BTW, that seat is absolutely killer, your upholstery guy is top notch.

Beautiful truck. Don't change anything just enjoy it and keep up the maintenance. Looking forward to your next project.

No doubt that ol’ girl is in good hands👌🏼⛽️

It is really cool to see young men restoring and bringing these vehicles back to life. what a great truck. thanks for the video.

Great video! I always look forward to watching you and your dad work on these old relics (I've got a few relics myself}. The visor and the original heater were great finds! KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!👍👍

Such a cool truck with a ton of character

I watch most of your videos. This one hits pretty close to home for me as I brought back my great grandpa's 47 chevy to life again after sitting for 25 years. Very similar to your style of build. My goal wasn't to make a full restoration. I did it all on a budget. Brakes, fuel delivery, tune up, full service, greased and lubed everything. I was also able to get most things working again. Heater, lights, dome light, horn. It was a super satisfying project. Beat out what dents I could and wiped her down with some boiled linseed oil. I think it looks sharp and it definitely turns heads when I drive it though town. Awesome!

God job Travis! Glad to see you about have her completed! She is looking good! 👍🏻

Had my doubts about bringing this one back,but I see the appeal now that you could see back in November 😳👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Great job! Always like seeing dad in your videos! Can’t wait until the next video.

Enjoy the vids. Saved another one.

WoW! What a really nice truck to be proud of!! Good travelin' with it! The only thing I would get next for it is the glass.

Lovely stuff. Always remember your dolly set to help bang out your dents, a good skill to have, get that bonnet sorted. Smashing it with a hammer, had my knuckles turning white. Remember, we are the caretakers of these beautiful hand built trucks. Treat them like the elderly old girls they are.

It looked awesome when picked up and now a lot more, would drive with a smile from ear to ear

Good.job Nice chevy good show congratulations you chevy 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Good going guya. BTW, VW Rabbits are a hot item in the VW community, so that blue carcass Dad got is worth a few bucks for sure.

Sure is a cool truck! You did a great job getting it to where she is now. Most people would just turn there back on the ol' girl and let her die a slow death! Maybe you could have painted the floor before the matt went in to preserve it from further rust? Just thinking! Anyway, what a great truck. Also, it is a blessing to have your Dad around for advice and help. I also lost my Dad at a young age, I was 8 when he died!

Hi Travis, I hope you are having a great day. Thank you so much for your videos. Love watching you do what I have done many many times. I am currently building out a van for travel's. Say hi to your dad for me. God Bless 🙏

that truck is soo cool. also cant wait to see that elco fixed up.

Hey Travis been jonesing at the bit for more on the truck. That’s a cool setup and original for the heater. I live vicariously through you and your Dad having fun and doing stuff with what you have on hand. Great Videos and Thanks 🙏

You should use some rust converter in those places that are being covered up.. headliner, door panels etc. Love your video...

Well done that Man 😊

nice little truck Travis so now all ya gotta do is put a dash cam in and take us for boot good job

Working on old trucks and cars with only basic tools is far and away more fun than doing the same on the vehicles of today. They have computers for this and that and one has to be virtually a NASA tech with the right equipment.

I also have some hood badges

good job!... nice El Camino.!

You stole my flat cap Lol! This truck is amazing Travis! Sympathetic resto done right!

Alright, new 48 Chevy video!! AWESOME!

Yesssssss I love when this man post!

Your good.The little stuff.everything needs to work

Excellent job!!! Do Not forget the weatherstrips!

That’s a fantastic truck. Thanks for saving her ❤

You are missing the ranco heater control valve. Can't control without that

My buddy had an 81 caddy diesel that we made run on straight vegetable oil and used motor oil. He literally drove it from Portland Oregon to LA. For 10$ of diesel. Wich was only used to flush the lines. We made a heat exchanger out of copper tubing to warm the oil before it reached the filter in front of the injectors. We drove that thing up to the mountains and All over the place for free👌

What a cool lookin piece of machinery!!!! Love it when you "try" to keep things original....Can't wait for the el-camino.

Nice to see dad back...

That truck is so cool

My father had a 51 Chevy p/u,,,,yours takes me back. Thanks!

Honestly I never had an appreciation for cars before I found your channel now it’s a ritual to watch thanks for doing this for guys like me who didn’t understand until I did

Travis, some days it's 2 steps forward, 4 steps back. But when the day is over and you have accomplished something in all that, the day was a successful. Keep up the good work, and videos.

Awesome truck. You have revived yet another beautiful truck.

You've really made progress with the truck, considering what you started with it's really pretty good now, the seat came out great, nice job

Great job tribe you and your dad both do awesome work man great job on the truck it looks good everything looks awesome dude you and your dad both do awesome work man keep on keeping on and keep them videos coming bro

Fantastic. Greetings from Indianapolis Indiana. Been there on these oldies years ago.,87 now. Love your site.

This project has turned out way beyond what I expected! The old truck has responded to your and your Dad's work almost magically. What a joy it is to watch you two work together, my hat's off to you guys! ..... and you do pretty good when Dad's not around.

Great work on the rescue ,love the truck.

What a video, always worth watching them all the way through. Great job again

I love the channel it reminds me of my dad how we use to do the same thing you and your dad do work together on old projects he passed away in 2019 thanks for the channel

Great job Travis. Nothing is easy if you want to do right. Love how much time you put in and attention to detail. 👍🏼👍🏼 Best of luck to your Dad with the VW.

Strong work Travis

The best truck yet. I would love that truck for a daily driver. Great job

I love that truck man well done. Sorry about the speedometer…cryin shame. But the truck looks perfect. Hard work payed off. Thanks for the good time as always

The truck is looking outstanding. Love the look. 😍 Great work Travis. Congratulations!!

that truck looks mean!

Dad's Rabbit diesel was built in New Stanton Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. I knew a bunch of guys I grew up with that worked at that plant. It closed a long time ago back when Ronnie Raygun was pres. The chev turned out really cool!

Nice work on the interior! And hooray for another 60 El Camino. Black too, my favorite.

Little bit of Low-Buck Garage style work with the hood 😂

Make sure everything has a good ground 😊

We old Mechanics always used Vaseline when we hooked up our Cabels, You also have the Voltage Regulator you have to Polorize.

The 48 Chevy Pickup Speedometer is repairable. Getting the spring is the easy part, replacing it is the easy part, calibrating it is the PITA.

Man that old Chevy turned out Nice! Great job! Would not mind having one like it for myself.....

Good job on the truck, Travis!!! I really like how it turned out. I'm definitely glad you decided to rebuild that engine and upgrade it the way you did. I am always jonesing for content by Friday so thanks for providing another fun to watch video. Will be looking forward to the future videos on that new El Camino project you have coming.

Travis, another great video, keep them coming. It nice that your dad comes up with those special parts

People that say that crap like "Noone is gonna notice" or any other myriad of excuses for not doing it right. Irritate the shit out of me. It's pure laziness. The little things do matter. That's why I really appreciate and look forward to your videos. You will take the time and effort to do things right.

Nice interior. Congratulations from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil!

Great job, Travis. That motor sounds perfect.

Be very careful positioning those handles down . I nearly lost a friend in my little Datsun as a kid when his knee pushed into it when I was taking an enthusiastic corner . Lucky the other kid grabbed him by his sleeve and pulled him back in before he slipped all the way out . Great content 👍

Nice work Travis, the truck looks great .can’t wait to see your next project…

Had a VW diesel truck new back in 80s, drove until 2003. Had 400k miles and averaged 53 mpg. Sold to a Texan for twice what I payed for it new, 42 hundred dollars. Changed oil ever 2500 miles, used Amsoil 15-40. Engine tested close to new, amazing what PM can do for equipment. 😊

Thank you for sharing Travis

This truck is awesome, I love everything about it. Great job 👍👍👍

Hi travis good to see it almost done your dad has a awesome collection of signs an pumps an you do also . Cheers mate🇦🇺

when tacking thin sheet metal, get you some thin brass plate and put behind, will help to keep from blowing out the weld.

Great job, i just bought a 81 mercedes 240d it gets about 30 mpg its a om616 engine and 722.1 transmission w123 platform diesel car its my daily driver, I put over 300 miles on it a week so it'll be one of those famous high milage Mercedes that runs forever with maintenance of course haha

Can't wait to see you guys tackle that El Camino too!

Travis, I have to admit to being a little skeptical until you pulled the interior together. It looks really good. Excellent job! Love you explaining and your work. God bless!

I love the look of that truck. Everything works and yet it's got patina, dents and looks it's age. Terrific build!
