Great answer! I agree. He's really putting out information a person can use.

You have proven my point in life. I have always said it's better to take a older truck build it exactly the way you want instead of trying to by a new one

Sounds really quit in the cab. All that sound deadening seems to have paid off. 👍

is there anything that you don't know how to do EZ RIDER? You are the master!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻

You’ve done a great job on this truck,......she lives again !!

That clutch shift pto looks slick. Lots of busy work getting all those fittings right

This man's is a legit mechanic, wish I could apprentice with him for a year Edit: anything with wheels I can drive, but not everything with wheels can I fix.

Wow, you talk about taking a lemon and turning it into lemonade! I've been following this ever since you bought that truck. I remember it looked like it was worked hard, but with some blood, sweat, and cuss words I'm sure, you have turned the old girl into a really good-looking and reliable ride. Great work Ezra and thanks for taking us along on this journey. I can't get over how quiet the cab is now since the sound deadener. I've driving trucks of that vintage and they aren't that quiet. Heck, I don't remember what radio you put in her but she sounds quiet enough for one of those Bluetooth stereos to link your phone to.

you make me wish that I was 21 yrs old again. now I just watch the next generation do it

Miss that stop sign on the test drive. Lol 😝

Your mechanical knowledge is second to none amazing work goof luck to you hope to see more of your videos

Awesome job on the PTO very perfessional looking job

Don't stop doing vids . I look forward to each new episode! All we. Run at our company is old trucks, so this helps a lot. I went from a 13 to an 18 in my 95 w9. What a difference when your pulling heavy. Keep up the good work.

I hope that you don’t fade away now that Old Red is basically finished. You should be proud of turning a almost 40 year old piece of junk into almost showroom condition. Any chance of another project? So far Twin Sticks hasn’t gotten booted for bringing home another beat truck. Hopefully Mrs. Easyrider would be as tolerant. You plan to work it besides.

That truck is going to make you a good living cause you set it up right and is going to be fun to drive cause you built it like YOU wanted it. Glad you supported the pto with a brace. That is a lot of weight to just let hang there.

I think you live a fulfilling life. Everything you work on always comes out great. If not the first time, the second for sure. That has to feel good what you conceptualize in your brain you put to fruition with your hands. Much envy and much respect brother! Impressed as always with your MASTER SKILLS Ezra.

Hey havnt commented in awhile but been watching since day one and its just amazing watching you build your Peterbuilt, great stuff 👍

I love the support bracket! I have the same setup, so watching this came right on time!!

Stack mount. Wow. Again ... learned something new. Awesome idea mounting to the body. Thanks for the video. Hope it gets at least a million views.

Ah, the exhaust stacks are clamped up after what seems like hiking the Appalachian trail. Truly amazing! She sounds awesome!

Cool ! It's great seeing Old Red moving and she sounds sweet too! You are one clued up guy EZ! cheers again from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺 🇺🇸

Gotta be such a great feeling! Hopefully you can show us a few rounds of loading, driving and dumping when construction season starts

Great job. Truck is looking and working awesome. I learn something every video.

Another excellent video Ezra!!! You have that truck so bulletproof now I'm sure you could drive to the tip of South America and back and not have a minutes trouble. Lots of respect to you sir, you have worked your butt off to get that Pete to be one of the nicest working rigs in the country. One hell of a sweet ride!!!

Wow!!👍👍👍another fine job, man you work hard, and always see the job thru, can't wait to see a load behind old red!!!

Great job on your videos. Professional quality, I say. You could have been a teacher. Had a 84 Red Pete just like yours.

Wow man! You honestly know more then any single person I’ve ever met. I’ve been in trucks since I was born. I was in the cab of a cabover since I can literally remember. I was dropping and hooking trucks as long as I can remember. My pap and dad forgot more then I’ll ever know. You are the only person that can compare. I wish I could meet you. You are the most genuine person I’ve ever met and watched. Your a great guy. I have so much respect! Your honest and a real honest mechanic and trucker out there.

That steering wheel 💖💖💖

Just beautiful how everything is coming along with Big Red, keep on trucking.

Thank you so much for bringing us along building a Masterpiece! You are a true master of your craft with incredible insight and fearless resolve. Real talent, and I wish you all the best! Take care

If i had even 1 ounce of the skill set you do... thanks for letting me watch this beautiful project transform once more. Great job, Ezra!

I love that you explain your thought process when doing your projects for Old Red!!! Thanks for the education!!!

Excellent video! Informative. Easy to understand. I learned a bunch (driver since '88) and grateful Creators like yourself. Please, do more :)

Man you sure have bought this 359 back to life enjoy your videos

PTO Harbor Freight Jack ... (aka Transmission Jack) ... Good Tip!

You put alot of work and effort into that truck I could picture you smiling ear to ear once you tested everything and cruised it down the road. Great job. Awesome work.

Ezra, another great video. I really enjoy & look foward to your videos. Thanks. Stay Safe & Warm

New subscriber from Canada 🇨🇦 great videos

Thanks for all information. All ways learn alot. The test drives are great. Put a heck of a lot of miles, looking at the dash of a '80 model 359. Of course my Wife did not buy me a wonderful looking steering wheel!!! A old Driver 92307

the vice footage is a classic. bench bouncing with every blow of the hammer. its like real life

I like the way you work,You have a ton of knowledge, I been watching you working on your Peter built truck 359. you know that great things takes time and you are taken your time. I'm watching your work from New Zealand in Hamilton cheers Bruce 👍

Man...ezra your a man of many talents..nice skills to have in our lines of work....good job

I have watched the build from the beginning,I I’m amazed at your expertise!! It is an adventure following your progress. I had a mechanic/driver like you he could do anything, but always the end result was Perfect. Nothing ever fazed him, he also drove a Lorry when required. I ran an ERF (British) lorry with an Eaton twin splitter for years.it was the Best Gearbox I ever owned or used.

DAMN Brother your Truck Has turned out Amazing Awesome Job what a HUGE difference from the beginning of when You got the Truck untill Now You did a Amazing Job That's something to be Proud of Keep up the Good work on Ole Red

It's amazing to see how far this truck has come! That's something to be really proud of, all of your hard work is really paying off. You now have a truck that's custom tailored to what you need it to do, can't beat that!

Those jokes were so bad! I loved em!

Can’t say how much I enjoy watching you work on “Old Red” !!! Your bracket that you made for exhaust was awesome!!! You might have something there to market!!! I like the functionality of the truck but I really like how simple you keep everything!!! Freaking nice!!! Keep doing what you do and we will definitely see you on the next one 😎✌️

Thanks so much for showing all the work that goes into setting up a quality work truck, Ezra. I've only driven a couple military trucks but appreciate you and yours making things happen! Have a great day and stay warm!

Dude your a genius... love the videos and how you think and work.

The peterbilt is beautiful. In the process of buying a 1986 peterbilt 359

Ez, you have a great channel with a lot of content that has real world applications for the working man. When you mentioned that the PTO you were installing didn't require the truck to be stationary when engaged brought back a memory of when I was a city police officer back in the 70's. It was going on 7:00 a.m., and I got on the interstate heading back to the station when I came upon a horrific accident, one I've never forgotten. Two young men who had just gotten breakfast at MacDonald's were also traveling west on the interstate in a work van at the same time a semi truck hauling a long bed dump trailer was heading east on the other side. Because there were several exits off the interstate there was a structure that held the informational signs that stretched all the way across the interstate. We've all seen them but probably haven't paid them much attention. Right before that truck got to that sign bridge at a speed of approximately 60 miles per hour, the PTO engaged somehow and that trailer lifted up and caught that sign bridge and pulled it over right as that work van was coming up to it. The top of that sign bridge landed right on top of the van. I pulled up behind the van and ran to the passenger side and looked in to see if I could help them. As I looked in the cab of the van I could see both of the guys had a moment to react and had bent forward out of reflex and the top rail of that sign bridge had smashed the cab and was laying right across their backs. They were killed instantly, Strangely at the same time as I saw them, I noticed the coffee they had bought just a few minutes before was in the cup holders and was still steaming. The truck driver was in shock and I image he never got over what was a freak accident, one that no one could have imagined let alone predicted. I'm 70 years old now and I know I have never forgotten it. Anyway, when you mentioned that about your PTO, I immediately was taken back to that morning in my mind. I enjoy your channel. Thank you.

This is some damn good content man love it.

Must be an incredible feeling of accomplishment. Really enjoy your videos.

That Pete is looking and sounding sweet. And it looks great with a trailer

I always wondered how these work. Thanks for bringing us along

Bro, you are Yoda level! Great videos!

Don't forget to change out your Eaton plate on your dash to match the new 18 speed! I know you don't need it but those little details are always nice to have

Just found your channel last week and binge watched until I caught up. I’m older and spent my younger years working on trucks like your restoring. I really appreciate what your doing and also want to complement your work. You are quite the mechanic for someone that claims not to be. Working alone I find that using guide bolts will help you handle the weight and align things more easily. Just cut the heads off and grind a taper on whatever size you need. Flywheels, transmissions, and heavy awkward brackets will give you less of a fit. Thanks again for the great videos!!!

Good job cowboy! Let 'er buck!

You Have done a really good job fixing that 359 up. I'm impressed

I have a passion for these vehicles. Your videos give me so much in depth knowledge that my mind can understand. God Bless you
