[@geomodelrailroader]

Yes and thats what Bruce would have wanted

[@barryallin4294]

Thanks Jaime I'm sure Bruce has his smirk on his face like always and saying like there was any other way to do this truck and giving you a thumbs up 👍 🙏

[@joeynagy8657]

Either way glad to see it coming together i drive out to bc a lot and can’t wait to see it I would’ve said to go with the dtu just cause it’s easier to get in and clean up the truck when washing but either way I’m excited

[@Rs500ybd]

If it was me I Would Stretch the rails Build a Custom Body Up Rate The Drive Axles and put a half decent zack lift or something else . then put a V8 in it. On the side of the Nose i would Have Bruce Custom Wrote On Both sides. He would be chuffed to fuck.

[@mohammedismailkhan6629]

Old school all the way. Bruce would always be old-school and his memory will live on with it.

[@cherb23]

Modern trucks are easy to use so i think he should put a brand new wrecker on it.

[@mohammedismailkhan6629]

@@cherb23 true but it’s Bruce truck and old school never fails. Also what’s wrong with the blue truck with the DTU that’s a nice truck hope Jamie owns that and we get a tour of the truck would be nice.

[@mohammedismailkhan6629]

This has got me thinking again my heart says old school for Bruce. But on the business side the DTU because Jamie has a few old school wrecker and two new ones plus HR125. The DTU could free up a new wrecker and be used on long distance haulage. Plus can be used for other things when not on jobs more versatile. I now know why @Jamie is in dilemma in what to do. The wrecker can be put on another truck when the time is right and the wreck business picks up or he opens another branch up some where else.

[@m341ehw]

@@mohammedismailkhan6629 @Mohammed Ismail Khan you are absolutely right in everything you said. If you wanted to keep it as a memorial to Bruce you would have kept it blue. But a museum piece will not pay the bills and Bruce will know that. For your business I say think with your head and go DTU, even if the heart says the other.

[@cherb23]

Bruce is dead and he won't be driving it.

[@MrtJhn77]

Me and my wife say OLD SCHOOL. Plus place his name BRUCE “Crazy Horse” HARDY on the doors and back paneling in memory of his work and life. That is what my wife’s UNCLE BRUCE would have wanted......

[@user-oc6qs1po3j]

As I read the replys everyone for most part says old school. But im a business owner also. If you got the money old school her if not make her a haul truck for year or two get her back to paid off. Take that time to finish the homes wreacker 100% an then old school her. But dont get greedy with her. In your soul you know she should be old school so set a dollar amount when you reach it pull her back in an swap her out. The old girl will smile Bruce will smile an we all will be proud of you

As it's a tribute to Bruce. Then, old school, as Bruce was old school.

[@MassiveJetGrind]

@Mitchell Bliss Bruce is a former employee of the company who passed away. The truck they're overhauling was his.

[@luchonix]

Option 1, old school I don't like the detachable unit for Bruce his truck.

[@donnahunter3488]

Jamie, I say Old School all the way. That is what would Bruce want. Dedicate it the truck in his name and honor him. Crazy Horse all the way!!! God Rest His Soul.... 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@donnahunter3488]

I wanted to add another comment about Bruce’s truck. I know Jamie likes to call the Holmes this and that. In my opinion I think this truck should be called, “Crazy Horse” of the Coq. Just plain and simple. Everybody that’s watched the show since the beginning will know exactly what the means. The dedication to Bruce lives on and Crazy Horse takes on the Coq with the rest of Jamie’s fleet of notorious trucks. 🐎

[@keithatate3050]

old school body for an old school truck that was driven by an old school driver We miss you Bruce God Bless

[@user-oc6qs1po3j]

Best reply 👍👍

[@moteemallach6854]

If Bruce was still alive, he would've wanted it old school. With lots of chrome and lights. As he said in the past. I miss Bruce, may he rest in peace.

Old school for me jamie all the best from scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'd leave it old school great way to honor Brue he would be smiling ear to ear

[@506chevtzr5]

RIP Bruce. Your a legend and will never be forgotten.

[@ajmiller7102]

If you are going to use this as a service truck, I would suggest putting what will work best for the work you will be doing with it. As far as what Bruce thinks, I do not know, but I am sure he would be happy to see his old truck still getting the jobs done regardless of what it has on it. The new paint and upgrades are a good remembrance.

[@kaleblesmeister2954]

I like watching you boys on the weather channel digging people out after a massive accidents on the highways including semi's of course .👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@markjovanovic9110]

Option 1, you already invested time =$ . Hoses are cheap , seeing a classic trucks/ tow or even long haulers is fantastic.
Tonight new season on weather Channel in the states. I found a new appreciation heavy rescue. Just last week on L A's freeway semi slide off the 5 freeway though where's Bruce he'll get it done to all your families thank you for showing us all the hard work.

[@bobjohston1219]

Old School Holmes 1625, it's what Crazy Horse Bruce would of wanted

[@rickdaystar477]

It's 3AM here on the East coast, been watching "Highway Thru Hell" on the Weather channel all night! This popped up on my phone..👍

[@carlevansjr3676]

Old school is the only way to go with this truck, I'm sure you feel the same way, it will be awesome !

[@timrowland1490]

Old school! Bruce gave you a lot of good years and I never heard him complain once 🙏❤️😎🇺🇸💯

[@jamesvwblack]

I’d like to say old school but what’s the point if it’s not practical, the truck is better to be a ty used than a museum exhibit so I’m probably going to be the only person saying option 2 just because I’d like it to get used !

[@benmac940]

About what I was thinking. If the intent is of it is a everyday usable truck then what is it thats going to be of more use to the business. If the primary goal here is a museum piece or one that isn't going to be used daily then go old school.

[@hobbytowncrew8934]

I totally agree with James 100%. But the final decision is yours and what you really want. If your not going to use it, don't do it. Why waste space? Unless you plan to put it in a museum or pay for a storage unit and get it out every now N then. I say in respect to Bruce finish it to be used not store away where no one is going to see it. Spend your money on bigger equipment for all your trucks and modernize your fleet. That is what I suggest, but like I said its your decision.

[@darylmatis4061]

The old school for a couple reasons, 1 it's always good to have another recovery truck if needed, 2 Bruce would've wanted it old school

[@icelopak]

DTU definitely! Thanks for the opportunity to vote.

[@wbmc3rd]

Lets keep it old school. Its the best !! It has worked its life old school . Keep doing what you are doing Jamie ,I follow you every time the show is on.. We had a towing service years a go WE retired Three generations . Be Safe William McDevitt Oil City PA

[@westaussie9497]

Old School. In memory of Bruce. Option 1.
Plus the sign writing must be old school also.

[@tommyeugene]

yes!, old school hand lettering! It's a dying art, but Bruce would have loved it...it's the way I still do it...RIP Bruce...

[@sveinunggroven5007]

Financially it is an easy choice. But in my case nostalgia weighs more, then it will have to be old school. Like others have said, it was Bruce's old truck and old school is the way the truck was originally. Wish you good luck with eiter choice Jamie!

[@garyhouk8437]

Having the first 1625 is pretty cool I think that would be a great way to build up Bruce's truck!

[@johnmcclain7072]

With all due respect to Bruce I'd go dtu. I like the option of how to use the truck. Keep it on to tow a vehicle or taking it off and now you have a truck for pulling trailers. Multi use is my vote. Stay safe

[@brianwilcox5807]

This is a hard one, I’d love to see the truck as a Holmes show piece with the first ever 1625. But if you need the truck, it sounds like the DTU would be a better return on investment. My vote is still the 1625.

[@jpvdsandt8320]

Brain im agree with your words

[@denenworth7004]

Jamie thank you for your memory of Bruce

Old school option probably will be appropriate, a tribute to ol Bruce

[@navsnipe3123]

Option 1, Bruce always impressed me as an "Old School" kind of Guy!

[@bkambooboo]

Bruce was old school so I think the Holmes 1625 is the way to go. I also think you should put " Crazy Horse " somewhere on the hood when the unit is completed.

[@Castiel1118]

Hey, Jamie, im watching you from beginning. I was verry attached to Bruce, he was soo reminded me of mine grandpa. He was tough, unbreakable. I think Bruce's truck should be like him, should be real wrecker, hard and heavy, and thats what i like to see. Greetings from Poland to you all,

[@rtjautomotive]

I’m a younger guy,but old school is best.
Thanks for letting us help you decide.Awesome program.

[@richardbutson8255]

From a total business perspective, option 2 is the way to go, in my humble opinion. The 2nd option should provide additional flexibility as business changes.
(Having said that, option 1, from a purely sentimental point of view, would certainly be a fantastic tribute to Bruce.)
Thanks for the video and opportunity to comment.

[@christopherradoian3774]

Old School!!! Also, I'd like to see your old fire trucks

[@OuradventuresGU]

Keep the unit as it was, the most memorable part of the show was Bruce’s comments about the truck being such a natural piece and wasn’t in to any of the fancy toys the new generation wreckers had.

[@joshuaramos8273]

I truly believe that you should go whatever you think is the right way to go people's decision matters but yours is the one that does matter the most Joshua from Brooklyn I'm a big fan and my wife as well and good luck with your show

[@bubbaholmes5892]

Definitely make it a wrecker!
You have two haulers already I believe. The multi colored Kenworth and that cool blue looking thing shown in the video.

[@sharkeyist]

Did Bruce prefer wrecker work or haul work? Let that choose. A built wrecker looks nicer than the dtu..... 👍🇬🇧👍

I am not sure where the community button is but I vote for the way Bruce would have wanted it. May he rest in Peace with the Lord.

go heavy its best to have more than not enough. and not having to call for another truck..Frovik towing Blaine,Mn. Favorite fan from day one.

Bruce said I want a new truck with 8inch straight stacks on it and put a wicked sound system in it too...so he better pimp this thing out to keep me

Jamie, you know what is best for your business I have no idea what is best but I think you have aquired a ton of knowledge over the years. So you do what you think is best, I am happy that you are not scrapping Bruces old truck. I think the old truck of Bruces should be on the road for at least another 30 to 50 years. Regards, Edgar

[@cecilegosselin9971]

It’s still YOUR decision Jamie and I think Bruce would have supported you in whatever choice you make. I really like ‘old school’, you’ve got Mighty Mo & the General, but long-haul seems to be good business right now. You can still keep his memory alive in whatever choice you make. (I voted on ‘Community’ page).

[@kylederry5031]

I got 2 cd's, Aerosmith and Aerosmith gold!!!

[@williamthompson1246]

I see a lot saying old school because Bruce would want it and that’s could be so but I think Bruce would also say it’s there for making money and being he’s not driving then go the DTU route so that it continues it’s working ways and not sits for show. Realistically Bruce wasn’t selfish and it would honor his memories more to have it work as well as it would be a double use truck cause the DTU could come off and be use as a regular road tractor in it’s time of need. It’s about being a team player in which Bruce was and the old school would limit the use not better the fleet.

[@kentonyoung8811]

I like the wrecker idea old school. But part its your business and you money so it's your choice. Thanks for the opportunity to vote thoe. Be safe friend

[@526clark]

Option 2 the Detachable. They are good for long halls. and you can take it off quick and put a trailer on the tractor. We had one worked fine.

[@mervynlatta4704]

ID keep it old school keep it the way Bruce would have wanted it in memory of Bruce and I think it would be much cooler that way

[@joefrank7159]

The real choice. Working and make money or build a museum piece.

[@hudsonriley2094]

Jamie your the owner, and as being the owner only you know what you have in mind for Bruce’s truck. Either transport or recovery. Whichever way you go with it it’s going to be great. Thanks for another great video. Oh I almost forgot I’m old school when it comes to wreckers. I just think the trucks are much more versatile with double booms,winches and out riggers. Good luck.

[@ep-ou7sc]

Option 1.
Bruce is know worldwide now because of your show. His truck was part of that fame. Keep the truck a tow rig the way it was and old school lighting

[@MegaHightechredneck]

It would be cool to see the old school, but DTU makes so much more sense for your business and your client's needs

[@LexPips]

Option 1 please make it the “ Old School”, that’s what Bruce would have wanted plus it’s what the original upgrade was meant to be.

[@oilhauler76]

Amen!!! Even the lights in frame rails..... and speakers EVERYWHERE

[@markjohnson6405]

I'd vote # 2 option. The tow unit. Seems more practical.

[@windowcreek1798]

Old school. Just like Bruce was. God bless him and his great old truck. Ya, old school for sure. Cheers.

[@brod_1996]

I agree it's how bruce would of wanted it

[@joelilwall108]

Dtu forsure. Atleast you can detach it when or if required and convert the rig back to hauling as a tractor trailer unit. If there are no wrecks to tow/breakdowns or you go through a quiet spell you have a option to haul a trailer and sub- contract to another company in a quiet time.😎👍

[@RobertBOUSKILL]

I started my apprenticeship in 1869 at White Trucks in 1969. I would vote for the portable DTU unit. I started fitting out new trucks and later worked installing refuse packers and selling the Garwood line. I also worked on street sweepers and Vac All units including the first double unit for Dofasco on a Ford Louisville which I took to Milwaukee to get the Vac All made and brought it back to Hamilton for delivery. When I crossed the border it was strapped on the truck with one steel lug bolted to the chassis to make it legal.
Love your show and appreciate all the dangers tow operators experience in your job. I wouldn't do the job but I do know what it is like to lay in the snow and cage a brake unit. One guy had a tanker with five axles on the trailer and I took one bad chamber from the rig. I was soaking wet but he insisted I drive his rig back to the shop and he took my warm pickup.

[@wayneboulier6107]

Jamie go old school lots of good memories there

[@dw9354]

I think since the truck is a tribute to Bruce and more profitable to you as a detachable towing unit that's what you should do. Have a nice mural painted on back of sleeper of truck and Bruce in there hay day. I think more people would have a chance to see it on B.C. and U.S . highways.

[@oshkosh850.]

my vote is for the 1625. will make it a very versatile unit for sure. im not sure waht your weight laws are but i know someone here in illinois that has a 1625 on tandem and doesnt have anu issues scaling it. just my 2 cents, cant wait to see how it turns out either way. stay safe!
