      Tim put jacks or blocks under the rear and pick the front of the machine up by tilting the bucket down and pushing it into the ground. Then you can roll the tracks freely off the ground.

    Tim I love the look of the Dually but that lbz longbed is drawing me in. And just a side note, I gotta say I’m so, in awe, for lack of better words that your still thinking of the fans even after what you just went through. You got a big heart man. I hope Braxton and the kids realize how blessed they are to have such a amazing old man to be looking after them, or teaching them how to look after themselves. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you deserve every amazing thing life gives you and the family. Keep the rubber down and the coal’a rolling brother!!!!

    Hi from the UK. You are such good people all the hardship you have gone through with the workshop fire, yet still you think about the subscribers and making them happy with a give away. Top job Gentry family. I do think which ever truck is picked it will be a great truck when you've finished it. Personally I think the ford with a nice paint job or wrap would be great with the name Born to Survive written on the back. Keep up the good work and keep pushing through you will achieve all you want with that great family comradery that you've got.

  • @kustommotors8784
    @kustommotors8784 Рік тому +5

    @philiplemer4444 Рік тому +4

    I would definitely have to say. The duramax is my dream truck and it looks amazing as is. But I know whatever you do to it would look even better I would like to see it with a nice steel heavy duty front bumper maybe a nice. Set of wheels and wherever you decide to go with it from there. I know it will be done completely right? but ultimately The Choice is. Yours Tim. I also would have to say if I was lucky enough to win it. I would turn around and give it to my Uncle who just retired from the military in 2020 and happens to be looking for a truck at the moment. To be able to take his nieces and nephews and the rest of the family out camping and boating.

  • @SIERRA_LB7
    @SIERRA_LB7 Рік тому +5

  • @YetiYeti-ql4so
    @YetiYeti-ql4so Рік тому

    God bless you and your family. Love every video and can’t wait for the next one. I’d want the 550 with semi wheels and tires and stacks to. A flat bed would look good to but the way it sits would be just fine with me and probably most of the ones that watch your channel. I would just love to have one of your trucks. Just knowing it was yours would be enough. God bless you and your family and good luck with your new shop and company.

  • @sonyajones
    @sonyajones Рік тому +14

    That Ford is my vote! You are awesome, my friends. The 7.3 liter engine is the best in my opinion. Just coming with that pickup bed on it would be fantastic! I would eventually put a flat bed with a built in 5th wheel tool bed on it and add a Autocrane to it. It would be used quite well here and even give the chance to hire some people. Thank you for the fantastic videos. I would do custom paint with your youtube channel listed! Pearl white or metallic silver flake are my favorite colors! Hope the 963 repairs go well.

  • @Raylen_slay

    I praise God for his healing. Got my chauffeur's license in '72...now called CDL. Never been without one since then. By Gods grace, I pass my DOT physical every year. So I AM a SURVIVOR!! Thanks for all you and your family does. Braxton is a blessing, enjoy his excitement. Love prayers and Thankx to everyone.

  • @GraceThroughFaith-PaPa-John

    Tim, you guys are an inspiration to so many people.
    I cant imagine either truck being given away and taken by someone else and worked hard and abused.
    I would choose the 550 and would love to see it used by towing equipment for disaster relief efforts for communities hit by natural disasters.
    It would be retired and used for humanitarian relief efforts.
    The only must have I would like to see for the truck would be a sticker somewhere on the truck saying it was donated by Gentry and Sons and I would want auto graphs of you, your dad, Brax, your wife and the rest of the team signed under the hood of the truck or on the dash.
    Keep fighting the good fight brother, dont give up and keep running the race.
    God Bless you and your family and God Bless everyone at Gentry and Sons.

    Hello Tim
    I am a relatively new viewer of your channel. I think the first episode was when FSC dropped a load at your yard.
    Anyway, regarding the giveaway truck. Unfortunately, GM Products don't do well in our area. I know very few folks that will claim they are satisfied with their units.
    I have always liked Fords and have owned a number of them over the years. My wife and I own a 40' fifth wheel trailer. The Ford would handle it very nicely. A good Deer catcher bumpier on the front and a good fifth wheel hitch would dress it up quite nicely.
    I am amazed on how you and your team have pulled together to recover from the fire. Keep up the good work. Blessings.

    I think either one of those trucks would be awesome if I had to choose one I'd take the F-550 but would be real happy with either one to be honest with you. Thank you for all that you are doing! I really enjoy your videos
