I have hunted, fished, and explored almost every kind of trail here in British Columbia in a variety of build-ups and vehicles for 42 years. I also mud-raced for 10 years in mild street builds to hi-performance mud-racers. One thing I learned early on in my 4whld passions was to reverse the position of the front axle spring hangers on older trucks when the lift got serious. I learned this the hard way when the front springs extended to a full drop and the shackle overcorrected on the rebound which bent the main leaf. It happened in the process of alterations to a '63 Ford 2whld to a 4whld. Once the hangers are reversed there is no issue. Arguments over this necessity, over time concerning speed and road conditions, have never stood up.

I've always thought Stacey David was the best host of Trucks!

I agree, I miss that show. Grew up watching him, I also like how he’d build them, then put them through his test. N like he’d say, if I break it, I’ll fix it! Love Stacey projects!

Thanks Stacy for all the lessons learned appreciate the help

I remember first time I turned on trucks I was hooked

If I was the judge of a car show I'd award more points to a car that actually gets driven than a trailer queen

THIS! This demonstrates the difference between the new shows and old favorites. It is highly scripted an almost overproduced to the point that people may call it “forced.’ As an example, look at the choreographed & scripted sequence starting about 14:15. BUT. This is such a better quality than ... others.

Stacey David made this show awesome.

Now that valve cover trick was suuweet

LOOKIN' GOOD..

I love that blue Chevrolet truck

11:06 We gotta pay the bills.

It does not get better than Stacey David when I first started watching trucks I was building a 1965 Jeep Gladiator Gladiators done and gone but still running Stacey David help me get through that build.

Asomen job and video

From the way he holds the power tools, it's very obvious that 'Mel' has never done any work with his hands ;-)

Did you put a new headliner in the Jeep?

May have already been asked but, what was the total cost of this project?

with the reverse shackle in the rear how prone is to binding when the shackle is at full droop ? isnt there a change in pinion angel

Because the older episodes are so much better than the newer shit, I stopped watching the sometime ago because there not as good as they use to be.

What color code is this

Why do a lot of people, and a lot that are professional automobile people call the car/company name WILLYS, like Willy’s? John Willys (pronounced WILLIS) was a key member of Willys Overland Co. Please stop calling the vehicles Willys/Willy’s!

You say tomato, I say tomatoe... A Willys by any other name would be just as cool. As for me and my house, we'll just go on calling it our Willys! Lol!

Not that we can stay on the air? As opposed to immature vulgar-mouthed little boys, not true adult gentlemen of moral character? How pathetically sad.

These shows dedicate so much time to ignoring details. That frame should of been blasted and primed with a wweldable primer, then painted after.
