Been watching you for a while now buddy. Absolutely love what your doing. I do the same thing but only 3 trucks. 2 B model Mack’s and 1 60 model Acar. I do all the mechanical, metal fabrication and paint and body. All by myself now since my best friend, my father, went home to be with the lord and my mother at age 97. I’m 65 and a little slower now than before. Love your videos, love the fact that Jessica gets out there and helps you some. My wife does the same thing with me and I absolutely love it. I call her mama also. Keep’em coming my friend. Steve in Texas.

That drivers side seems to rinsed off a little on the drive home, going to make a really handsome truck that . That shade of green reminds me of a 1981 ford Granada I had as youngster, the colour was ford crystal green metallic , always polished up lovely

@JamesPretty

Жыл бұрын

Oh nice. I’ll look up that color

Nice, many moons ago, I used to work for a guy who owned 4 trucks leased on to then Roadway Package System (Now known as FedEx ground). He had one set up just like this truck except it was a factory order single axle truck with a 425 Cat under the hood. That was back in the early 90s. I was low man on the totem pole so I drove a single axle Freightshaker cabover with a 315 hp Cat. (if I remember correct) His other driver drove that truck and he also had a Mack MH Ultraliner tandem with the E9 500hp motor which he drove. Sometimes we'd run together for a few miles and they would screw with me for laughs by blowing the doors off my slow truck.

12 is my pick of everything you have currently. Not sure about running a 11.1 pcm, run the overhead and all would be well. Better fuel milage, more torque, less horsepower. Pull great, Little less top end unless you get a bigger turbo and switch out the injectors. LOVE FLD'S AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT CONDOS. High winds they tend to tighten my buttcheeks in turns. All Condos, Not as Abad as Volvos, But still stressing in storms. I personally like the farings, Good look, Toss on some aluminum wheels, Black out the chrome, Be an awesome look. THAT GREEN WITH BLACK CHROME, not powder coated. Glossy Black. all chrome and the roof fairing blacked out. ❤️🤘
