After calling the pink Aventador, Dad's V12, I think Papa Strad's old truck should be called Dad's V8 man. Soo soo proud of you James. All of us are! Keep doing what you're doing! Been here since the Lotus days, and not leaving anytime soon!❤

This is going to be an awesome project ❣️ Just a suggestion my friend, but keep the steering wheel. Would be a good memory that your dad's hands were on the same wheel when driving the truck :) Also just a suggestion, but go with the lighter gold. It seems to match the original color however it's hard to tell without seeing the truck in person. Anyways, keep up the great content 🤘

He drove that car for so many years. I remember waking up at 6am to watch him leave for the day. Miss you dad...

A Lambo will bring you the joys of a lifetime but a classic truck will last you a Lifetime.

Of all of the great projects you have ever done I think I am most excited about the restoration of your dad’s truck. Go with the 72’ paint color. That should look great.

Love Sophia's personality she is so adorable and the more she is herself the more lovable she becomes!

I love the house updates just as much as the car updates. A suggestion for the big garage: because the ceilings are so high; they make sound deadening fixtures that you can suspend from the ceiling. I bet you could find some that look really cool that would tie in with the lights you're thinking of!

Anyone else wish James would do truck-rebuild and house content more? The buying and selling of cars every episode is a bit long in the tooth. I want to see that truck, that house, etc. That truck, with a proper stance, beautiful wood bed, it’ll be gorgeous. Gold truck, black trim, black wood for the bed, etc. 24x12 in the front, 24x14 in the back… chefs kiss.

Watching him unbox stuff is one of the funniest things ever

Why don’t you just hire Sophia? Couldn’t she stay longer?

@@TheStradman This is coming from a guy with a similar sized house, it is crucial to have space for hobbies! The garage is the perfect size. If you ever think there's too much room, just remember that if you ever were to sell it, the value would be drastically increased because of the square footage. I made the grave mistake of filling in the basement of the previous house in this location before building on it, which cost me somewhere in the hundreds of thousands and probably near ~$300,000 in appraisal. It's definitely worth it to have as much space as possible, not so much as what is livable. But whatever floats your boat!

Im so glad you are keeping the Strad Dad legacy alive, he would be so proud!

P.S. I’m glad found your dad’s truck and it’s getting restored. That’s just straight up priceless!

Can’t wait to see dads truck finished! That thing is going to be awesome. 🙌🏻

nothings cooler than watching James learn to work on his own cars

Love to see you restoring your dad's truck! Keep the looks as close to original spec as possible.

James, I think your dad would be proud of anything you do at this point.

I can't wait to see your Dad's truck all completed. It's gonna look amazing! (I wish I could find my 1st car. A VW bug I modded out back in the day)

It’s crazy to see how far James has come. Been watching since his lotus days before the lambo, which was an insanely great idea…. Dude legit tent camped after picking up the lambo. Shoot I remember the starter fiasco with the Audi tt…. Living in your car To owning this huge house and ALL of those cars. No one can say you had it easy or the path was paved….. you had a dream and made it work. Insane. I always get sentimental when I see you doing stuff with your dad’s truck, or in reference to the family. Such a long journey.

TheStradman never disappoints

i’m so glad to have you living right next to me again rather than arizona your collection is getting so good

Wouldn't you want to keep your dad's truck looking as original as possible? Keeps the nostalgia

Papa strad will be so proud of you from heaven

There’s nothing more admirable or exciting than building up a car that has been in the family for ages and that means so much to you. This is the kind of content that KZread needs and wants. It’s authentic, passion filled, and more unique than the regular hypercar/supercar videos. While those cars fill a huge hole in my heart and are the passion of many of those who fell in love with cars initially, it’s been played out by auto groups or hyper car KZreadrs. This project is not only a great remembrance of your father and your childhood, but represents who you are and how you want him to be remembered in your success story. Well done James. Keep doing the right thing.

So yeah thank you James, I'm a Civil Engineering student and i feel exhausted and overwhelmed about what's happening and i'm finding some time to rest and then youre video came out ohh vlog from you never cease to give me relaxation and a quick escape from reality, It's 2:02 am here in the Philippines now and yeah i'm a filipino.

I really enjoy the new style of videos. Gained so much faith in you again my friend!

Good for Strad his girl seems like a really cool person.

loving the new style of videos James looking good

cant wait to see this truck come along

That truck with some whitewalls would be top tier

Put a ring on it and she can stay as long as she wants 😊

Man I can’t wait for this build your dad would be proud.

My question is James is smart enough that he clearly owns all his cars with an LLC so why doesn’t he hire Sofia as an employee and pay her like a $1 salary if she doesn’t want anything but than she could get a work visa and be able to stay longer?

You two are super great together. Love Sophia just showing up :) Also, the darker gold looks better to me. The one on the left to be clear. :)

my favorite vehicle you got right now, the story makes this truck mean so much more. cant wait for Papa Strad to look down and see the finished product.

500hp with an old stick shift is absolutely insane I love it

love your vlogs and always good to see Sophie back in the country, your Dad is proud of you, looking down from heaven :) The Truck is going to look amazing once finished.

This project is one that i hope to not miss... man i would find the factory gold color and keep the old motor and give it a FULL restore... bring it back to how i remembered pops looking as we rode in it... all chrome would be polished.... whichever way u go, I'm here for it...🎉

That's the sign of a true father when you don't care that your daughter is put nail. Polish on your hands because they're your daughters. And your daughters are the world when it comes to being a father😊 Take care and have a great rest of your day upon the face of this Earth, and stay incredibly awesome. Just the way you are😊

Please please do a battery relocation and a wire tuck not only would it look amazing and be show worthy, for your dad, I’m sure he would be proud of what your doing with it, and also it would be cool if you send the wheels off to be custom built for those meaty tires.

not james dropping the package🧑🏽‍🦯

Towels are great at sound deadening. You should have a wall of fan-submitted towels with art.

Definitely the darker gold.

Happy Birthday Stradman!

Audio engineer here: You don't necessarily need to cover the entire wall with panels. For the big garage - you can buy wider panels and space them about 3ft apart for a pretty similar effect. Even the ones you have now, can be spaced 1-2ft apart and still be pretty effective in reducing the echoes in either garage

Love how much Strad and Sophia get along it’s so nice to see! Gotta love love ❤️

Your dad will be proud of you ❤

If I can make a suggestion it would be to keep the old worn shift knob on your dad's truck. It's got his fingerprints all over it and every time you shift you'll be shaking hands.

Haha the echo on the dry wall test was hilarious, the stock color for the GMC, factor match paint via vin. Brother you probably going to cry on reveal day with the pink Lambo Papa Strad next to it but we here for you for that moment.

My favorite project at the moment is dad’s truck.!

I love the idea of it being road tripped everywhere.

You're gonna RestoMod your dad's truck and i think its gonna look cool and Im sure he would be proud.

I was just thanking about this truck the other day. Glad to see it back on the channel.

Been waiting for this!! ❤ ever since losing my dad. It's this stuff that makes me warm my heart

Stradman i think it's so cool you tracked down your Dad's Truck !!!1 I can't wait to see it done!

Love the plan with your Dads truck. Cant wait to see it.

The darker gold for me looks better , but you have this one to figure out it’s your dad’s truck so !!!! Make it special .😊

Not surprised you are letting the Z go, it's just not really your style or 'thing.' Still a dope ass car though, just not mad it's getting replaced.

Super excited to see the finished build on the truck. You will certainly do your dad justice

Out of all the mods' and builds over the years, i'm look forward to that GMC the most.

it's amazing that your Grandma own a car that's preety rare you know still superb truck

Can’t wait to see that truck in Bend!!

Happy to see you doing something with the truck! Would love to see more updates on the house, especially the bat cave!!!!

im so glad that ive stayed a fan long enough for strad to be working on his own cars. hopefully more in the future

The Z is so sick. It doesn’t need anything. It’s perfect
