Shortbread. Especially if it is lowered! Love the exposed wiper mechanism in these too.
-
OMS in Strategic Air Command (SAC) would have been Organizational Maintenance Squadron. That's the squadron for the crew chiefs assigned to and maintain the aircraft on the ramp. They do the preflights, postflights, refuelling, defueling, launch, recovery, and cleaning.
-
I can't believe the grill and emblems are still on that rig. I would love to wheel that around my neighborhood and give the HOA overlords an aneurysm. Never seen throttle linkage through a block before, that's wild.
-
The dormant workhorse intended to slumber its way to no return, but was awakened as its condition was no challenge for the seasoned, veteran, brilliant mechanic to overcome. Magnificent!
-
Since there are indications that thing was in Rapid City ( the rebuild tag on the engine) Iโd say it was probably at Ellsworth AFB and the script on the side was probably something like the 28th Bomb Wing or a numbered Bomb Squadron of some sort. Cool rig either way.
-
I've been waiting for this episode for so long! My grandfather bought a 61 metro (a former fire rescue truck) over 20 year ago. The truck is still in my possession. I have very fond memories of he and I going to shows and the Jefferson swap meet in it.
-
"The starter will be easy to fix" It's not like we haven't heard THAT line before. LOL
-
Awesome. Plus we enjoy watching Sleeperdude with Rocky and the fam. Thanks for mentioning them!! Still love the 57 frig!!
-
Man, I canโt speak enough how often I think of all the things you say through out my day especially when Iโm driving and bust out laughing. I find your videos remind me of when I was a young child watching shows like Captain kangaroo and local afternoon shows with a cool guy doing cool things while learning something. I am grateful for the hard work you do and of course Duffโฆ
-
Another epic test run ๐ฎ youโre a far braver man than I, sir! Much respect โ
-
She sounded awesome! Aerosmith had the same van as their first tour vehicle, which was found in return to them by American pickers. I bet if you send the video of that van to Steven Tyler he would probably be interested in buying it, He can well afford to ๐ anyway thanks for another great video and keep up the good work ๐โฎ๏ธ๐บ๐ฒ
-
Thank you again for the shout out. Rocky appreciates it!
-
Sweet metro! They truly were"international" using fuel systems and ignition components from various manufacturers and countries
-
Great job bringing the van back to life. You even had it going at a decent clip just before 1.08:00. The Duff Cam is the cherry on the cake. :-)
-
The "tin grille" name was aimed at the 72 to 80 dodges but it's cool to hear it from the big time famous tubers. That bed/trailer was from a tin and looked pretty straight, getting harder to find all the time. Thanks for all the great content.
-
Sir I just wanted to thank you for your videos .recently I just started a 1968 el camino that sat for twenty six years. I used I Lot of your techniques to get it going.thank you very much.watching you and puddins fab shop grow awesome you both deserve it.
-
Gotta say with all the good work I still say Duff is my favorite part. And the way you and him are best friends makes me miss my shepherd so bad she was just like Duff.
-
Very interesting. Great job on getting the old bombed out bread truck running. Keep up the great work.
-
Kinda nice that everything is right there in the cab. I remember my dad adjusting timing and the carburetor in his dodge tradesman while going down tje road.
-
Love to watch! Happy you got the van running! GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY ๐๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐๐๐๐
