When you said, "between removing the wheels and jacking the cab, this rebuild is gonna take 7 or 8 years"...I could only imagine all the GREAT videos we would get...

Marc, you grinding away at an issue is what makes this channel so great, you throw thought at a problem before money.

44 years drivin with 6 very very very long years in cabovers. I couldn’t wait to get out of them and here you are rebuilding em! Honestly….I kinda miss em!

"if only i knew someone who'd run 10 year old diesel through their equipment" that had me rolling 🤣🤣

I can't imagine what it was like restoring old trucks in rain or snow now that you have the shop you don't have to worry about rain or snow now

1:20 I love these old ads and commercials you find. Back to an age where things were simpler!

I remember starting last Thanksgiving with some "old iron". Gotta be a tradition now! Happy Thanksgiving all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

You can actually filter that old fuel and blend it in a few gallons at a time with new fuel and use it. Those little triumphs like the broken fitting removal and on the fly hose repairs are sometimes what keeps a man going...

Was thinking same thing, fuel WAY too expensive to just pitch it. Mix it little at a time n use it in bobcat or tractor, consider it a minor stockpile for now.

You are living a dream of mine. I was a trucker for many years and grew up riding with my Dad in these Cabovers in the 70’s-early 80’s. Would love to own a cabover with car hauler to transport my classics around to car shows.

I enjoy the fact that when things go wrong you don't lose it. It's nice to see someone with the kind of patience it takes to work on old equipment.

Race ramps makes a mat that you lay on to work on vehicles, you can pressure wash it when dirty . I am fifty and it has been the best money I ever spent , it sure is better than laying on plywood.

I love how you had the music in the shop going, really sets it

I love the dogged determination and the way you go about things, ne'er give up ne'er give in, you can already see the transformation taking place even though you are in the tear down stage. Good work mr Sticks, as usual you have made my thursday a happy day. THANK YOU!

I work in Hydraulics and you capped the lock line and used easy out to remove broken fitting I would have done it that way as well. Nice work sir. Some more things I would tape off are the hyd pump itself and those hyd rams sand in or any dirt in the hyd system can mess up seals and make them cyls leak prematurely. Maybe you have plans to replace them tho. You might be able to find a hyd shop that can rebuild/reseal that lock but maybe it is too far gone. Enjoy your video’s keep up the good work sir.

I knew as soon as pressure built up in that pump that another line would blow. The big summer blowout part got me as well! Love the content man and Happy Thanksgiving from Kentucky!

I build land rovers, I’ve found over the years, if they fight you when your pulling them apart they usually go back to together a lot easier, keep up the good work, great videos,

Love this guy 💕 very devoted in restoring old iron, hope to finish this the way you like it, thank for making my day💕❤️

As I sit in my LaZBoy chair, digesting my Thanksgiving dinner, I can only hope that Mark took a day off to enjoy family and give thanks to the 'Old truck Gods'. Fighting with old stuff is never fun ... It's definitely a labor of love. Thanks again Mark for the entertainment ....it was a great way to end a beautiful Thanksgiving day down here in Kansas City.

Thursdays are the best!

Was raised in the trucking and heavy equipment industry so it's always a pleasure watching your channel and taking a trip down memory lane. 🇺🇸😉👍🏻

Man am I looking forward to watching you work in your new shop, not just on the trucks but also how you develop and organize your awesome new space. 👍👍😁

A good heat system works finer in the cold winter, and the paint dry better, what a work you buy, i follow this project and give a thumb UP 4 U...

Awesome man I love this stuff grew up loving jerry Reed and the big rigs . Thanks for all ya do and record 👍

this truck has definitely given you the biggest fight of the three so far

I feel blessed with my 84' International 9670 It looked really rough when I bought it and was even told to trash it but, I carried on and didn't have to replace any hydraulic lines, connections or anything. I did have to rebuild my pump, as it was leaking a tad but that was easy peasy.... Mine has taken me in other directions and is always a build in progress. Love it! You sir, have a beauty there and I love the attitude you have in working on it. HOOAH!!!

Wow......nice heat set-up! You are livin' large now!

Hallo from Riga. Sometimes I restored old Soviet trucks and for me interesting to see differents in technical solutions between them. And Your competent attitude to work helps me with this. Very interesting.

Ahhh, the joys of working on old stuff. At least your having fun.

That white powder on the chassis is alumina, Al2O3. Been following you from the beginning and enjoy the episodes very much. Your determination sets an excellent example for the rest of us.

Coming along… looks good. And if anything Happy Turkey Day from your friends across the boarder!!!

Your persistence when a small job of jacking the cab up but with all those problems turned into a day long job never fazed you one bit, it's remarkable👏 Great job yet again👍

the joy's of fixing up old cabover lol

I spit my coffee out at the “big summer blowout” clip 😂😂

Loved the look when the line blew a la Ezrider359 in his intro!!!!

This is gonna be a beautiful rig when she’s done. 😎😎😎

I always look forward to your videos, stay safe and God Bless, have a Happy Thanksgiving Sir.

Just no substitute for a great work ethic..a credit to your parents no doubt.anything worth doing is worth doing right buddy

That shop is a game changer. If you can get your frame sandblasted and get it inside working on the old girl will be a pleasure all winter. I am in the process of tearing down a house where I hope to build a new shop and living combination building there. My last trucks were outside at a remote location , so it was an hour drive and seemed to always be freezing or super hot...and so much dust from the quarry they were in.. As far as the hydraulic lines go, seems like just like the Duke when one blows and you repair it, it is followed by another, then another. I swear over the run of one summer I blew and replaced nearly ever line on an excavator I was running that year. Hang in there, things are coming right along, oh and by the way, that old fuel looks a little better than anything Peg runs on his rigs :-)

The struggle is real……but the satisfaction is huge.

Love your common sense problem solving. Great videos. 👍

Mark, your vlogs are always so entertaining and fun to watch, love your tenacity & thought process. Looking forward to seeing the next one 👏🏻🇬🇧👍🏻

I use to install those radiant heaters you are going to love it

Me an my cousin used to work in the middle of a yard doing engine replacements back in the late seventies an early eighties we finally moved into a shop that was built for us in 1989 that was a treat gas blown heating. What a treat My cousins boys still use it doing car rebuilds etc I moved into driving trucks full time and now semi retired but still out driving trucks a couple times a week. Great video 👍🏼👍🏼

So great to see an original PACCAR “HEAT TREATED - DO NOT WELD TO RAIL OR DRILL FLANGES” decal still out in the wild on a frame rail 🙂 Also fitted to every new Foden truck here in the UK when I worked there. Nostalgia. And bloody good advice 🤟🏼

I'm going to miss the days setting by my fireplace watching you outside in freezing weather working on your trucks

Well.... I've binged all your episodes over the thanksgiving weekend... Time well spent.

I am always amazed at your patience.

You have amazing patience when it comes to mechanical things I would of been cursing and throwing tools awhile ago 😂😂😂😂

Garage is looking good I'm sure all of us will be happy to see you being able to work inside your heated garage instead of having to work in the snow. Congrats

Your positive attitude and never give up outlook is awesome. Love the enthusiasm when you got the easy out to work 👍 Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the video! We are waiting for the continuation. All health, kindness and peace of mind!

In the OLD days a truck like that would feed cloth and OWN A HOUSE for a family of 5 or so.. YES. back then IT WAS THE TOOLS that cost alot of money. Now we have computer trucks and ALL THE TOOLS FOR EVERY JOB and FORGET ABOUT GETTING MARRIED. Thanks MR 2 stick.

I think I’m as happy as you are that you will be working inside!

I’m thankful for your commitment to these old irons. Happy thanksgiving Mark!

Good morning Mark, I've never drove to many cabovers in my career but I guess one of the reasons I didn't is the amount of trouble I had with lifting the cabs, but most of the time if used the right cuss words at the right time I could get them to lift. Great video see you on the next one.

That was awesome. Looking forward to a long winter of iron Duke restoration

"oh look a penny"... and now am wearing my drink cheers

I can't wait to see you working inside the new shop it's going to be awesome cheer's.

Awesome progress!! Loving the duke project!

Love it Brother Keep it up see ya in 2022 man!

So happy for ya. 😍

Outstanding!

Nothing better to watch on thanksgiving day. Thank you for the great content!

Your doing one hell of a job.. great work

You're going to love working in that heated shop. Great video!!

I love old big rigs

There's no better feeling than when an , easy out works ! 👍

Well on the plus side, at least it burst when it was barely lifted and nothing underneath!! Just goes to show though. Nice one getting it sorted Mark! It's aluminium oxide caused by electrolytic corrosion. As you say, steel and ally don't play well together!

Ordered a project snowman hoodie and some more stickers this week. Keep up the great content Twinsticks!

Admire your determination,keep up the good work 👏👏

A new TSG vidjeo to wind down to after third shift??? Mint.

Shop is looking amazing. I know its going to be like paradise this winger for you working in there. Trucks look great sitting in there.

Your new garage looks great. It's fit's everything beautiful. You seem very happy that you got everything done before winter. So you can work inside and be warm. Good luck on all your future projects 👍

Wow the passion you have for what you are doing. Your like a one man baseball team. When it’s time for , ( batters up) up you come hitting a double. Next batter up and up you come again, this time a home run. You impress me more with every new video that comes out. Not everyone can do what you are doing. Always a spot on professional video. I only follow a few and your at time top of the list, hats off to ya Twin Stick..

Loving that garage....got garage envy!!!

Those guys did a nice job installing the heater, looks very neat. Great progress on the project 👍

Happy thanks giving brother

That Dootson ad is circa 1980 California. I remember that ad. (sorry had to edit. mistype)

Mark: "Let's see if we can get it out of there" Also Mark: "Cant be stuck if it's a liquid"

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mrs. Twinsticks. Thank you for all the crazy good and funny content.

aaahh that jucie is MINT pure F***ing Gold

Started watching early on when you would build a fire in the driveway while wrenching on LBL. You’ve earned that heated garage my man! Enjoy it!

One of my favorite trucks growing up

Great show. Mr twin sticks.

Good going Marc. Like you said sometimes you just need a break to solve the little issues. Cant wait to see you working in the new dream shop.

Cool color combo

If only I had a nice shop... I'd be restoring a multitude of vehicles. 😉🇺🇸

It’s a pleasure watching your dedication to big truck restoration.. If I’m mistaken I thought your professional career is some type of engineering.. so being a chemical,mechanical,civil or aerospace.. So whatever yours is,, they teach you to be a fixer of problems or problem solver .. And sir your are a problem solver.. Amazing how you have taking these trucks and brought us the viewer along for the ride .. Been watching since the first video. Nice to watch you work ..

I liked the look you gave the camera.......Great video!

Looking batter and batter

Nice work! And great choice of The Wabash Cannonball! 👍

Just like Johnny Cash One Peace at a Time 👍

Love your building

Just remember as long as you're taking 2 steps forward for every one back, you're still going forward.

Marc great job love watching all of the hard work you put into these old iron to bring them back to life and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

Love this truck.

GREAT, Great, great video!

there's that never give up attitude nice work

Looks like one hell of a job messing with the hydraulic tilt lines reminds me of old lines on my case 450 crawler loader ( special ) lol.good job great video thanks Mark keep them coming 👍
