If only you had an air ride cut off for Krystal. Good work on her though, I've been wanting the most to see that old gal back up and running. Keep up the good work James! I know its a lot between working on all those trucks and holding down a job as a pilot who travels the globe. We appreciate you taking us along on this ride!

Man I have nothing but respect for you, You definitely put the work in & get it done to get your trucks in working order & make them road worthy. Krystal is gonna be a Helluva nice truck when you're done with her. Love seeing the progress & can't wait to see her going down the road going to Truck shows.

Damn J P. Hell of job you are doing. I had a 74 K100. It had Reyco suspension. One of my best friends owned a spring shop. Back in the Day. Everything was on Springs. Shit was pretty cheap way back then. LMAO. He would have me be at the shop at 630am. We would tear down. Then 2 of his guys would get the parts together and Bing Boom. Bob's your Uncle. U would be driving out of the shop. He's probably about to retire now. But he treated everyone great. He was really great to owner/operators. Great prices and quality work. Keep Up the Great Work and Videos. Stay Safe and Keep Em Flyin. ! 🇺🇸👍

Hi James looked like it went good. Not surprised you saw a little crack in that equalizer. Used to see that a lot on those. They used to make them in Pigeon Michigan. I recognize all those pieces. They’re before my time there more than likely I didn’t start there until 88’. One nice thing on those is they’re relatively simple to work on. Long as they come apart ok. Stay safe

Another job well done!
