    The wood truck is giving you trouble because you started paying attention to the free truck . The old girl is jealous 😂
  • Clearly some people who have never lived miles from a parts store or had access to certain items,would not understand how sometimes you gotta make due with what you have on hand. Its not cutting corners,its doing enough to keep it running and being able to continue on your day. Ive used bailing wire to hold a muffler,bike cable for a throttle cable,duct tape for holding a fender on,etc,etc. Its just a way of life out in the sticks. Great channel guys and gals.

    Okay the Michael Jackson clip when Shawn was trying to get the wood truck started was good. That was good comedy right there. Lol
  • @2milesowen587
    I like Paul’s philosophy. It might not be right but it’s right enough. 👌
  • Watching the drive back. Reflection in back window is freeky looks like you are going backwards down the road😂
  • @mosconi0359
    It is so nice to see Paul and the gang doing the same things today that my step-father was doing in the late 60's and early 70's. He had an old Dodge Power Wagon and would load it with firewood, and we'd have to stack cord wood for days. I remember the old handyman jack hanging from the side just the way Paul does his today. Back then we had the 5-gallon jerry cans with gas in some and water for the radiator in another. Big winch on the front. Fun times. I'm 67 now and it's good to see Fab Rats carrying on some of the stuff I did when I was a youngster.
  • @SteveLaVoy
    I really like watching you Paul, Sean and Hunter work. Like watching my dad (REST IN PEACE) when I was kid. Thanks guys.
  • @FunKingGarage
    The time lapse of loading the wood was awesome because you could see the truck settling down a little at a time.
  • When I saw the intake on the wood truck at the start I was hooked!! LOL. An old square body without a gun rack in the rear window, well it hasn't lived a good life! It was everybody's first accessory! That and a saddle blanket seat cover!
  • @johnlogan6437
    Stacking the hole saws to center the firewall hole is a great idea!
  • @Bigdaddyslasher
    That Chevy is as old as I am. Great to see it still on the road doing work.
  • @billclisham8668
    Cutting, splitting, and stacking firewood has always been very therapeutic for me. We had a house in northern Michigan that was an old 5 bedroom farmhouse that was built in 1897 and we heated it with just wood heat. We had an old American wood burner that had dual blowers and would keep the house plenty warm. We would get firewood permits from the USDA forestry service to cut out of the national forest. You could cut 4 full chords for $20 and then go back for another permit.
  • 23:23 love the smile on his face as trash is flying out the back ahahha. Not being a Karen just thought it was funny lol. Dude your videos keep me going during these weird times. God bless the family and you! Its nice to see that there are normal everyday Americans still here living a cool life.
  • You turned the wood truck into a beast.... Heavier springs, brakes etc.... along with having a standard trans.... thats the perfect match....
  • The wood truck is probably my favorite rig you own. Idk why those old chevy are the coolest, but they just are
  • @HayCO33
    Loving the rear window gun rack . All our pickups back in the day had gun racks . So Cool !!
