Remember that bright green 2007 379 Peterbilt I bought a few months ago? Well it's a different monster now... and it's name is "El Diablo Loco." A ton of work has gone into my new semi truck build so tune in to get all caught up. We're not finished yet but let me know in the comments. Is this my craziest truck build ever?

5 years ago, I built an s10 pick and airbrush it twice, and I thought I was the only crazy person out there. I didn't have real rivets, but I airbrushed all it, even the diamond plate. I won 2nd and 3rd place for years. I'm about to paint my silverado. It's good to see someone else have mad ideas like I got.

Bonjour Steve, I fully agree with you about many points : - You dont' make enough videos, - You can't do anything now without 1000 safety rules to respect - Why make it simple when you can make it complicated You are an uncommon person, not obsessed with money and always passionate, you would deserve even much more subscribers ! Your truck will be unique, and we will never seen it in France or even in Europe 😭 Amicalement, Raphaël

Thanks Raphael, Always nice to hear from you. Thanks so much for your comment, I always appreciate what you have to say. Sometimes I can be too passionate in what I do, I could probably get it built faster and get more videos out.

Hey Steve ,how about using angle iron with rivets on the edges of the bed . Put rubber on the bottom (so it doesn't rattle ) and hinge them so the outside piece lyes flat for fork lifting stuff on the bed ! It will also tie the look together carrying that edge along the bed to the cab .

Amazing work. You could make the side rails on roll up hinged and worked to match other attachments . I know it would be a lot more work. I have hinged type with pull out rings on inside that add more tie down options on my bradfordbuilt bed and I love them. I drop them when loading pallets and have the sides if needed.

Quality of construction and attention to detail sets this truck way out there with it's uniqueness. Gotta tell ya in your opening scene I was looking at your press brake and remembering what it was like working and forming steel on machines with names like Verson and Pexto. I'm retired and miss it all. Before covid bs we used to spend 3-4 months in Vegas for the Winter. Haven't been back out there since. I'd work for free if I had the chance. All old school flat pattern layout like for elbow gores ect. Dinosaur tin knocker. LoL

It's like a rolling Americana history work of a lot of detail what American's used to produce. Still can whether it's in a home drive way or a huge SHOP. As long as Americans are producing something. Teach the younger generation to get involved. To many parent's are raising softies that don't know how to work! Get them involved whether it's wood work, electrical, pip fitting welding, art work or even playing an instrument anything is better than playing video games.
