Good Evening Big Strappers. Thanks for dropping by to watch the video. Well was it worth the wait? What are your thoughts on the truck? And the Lettuce King? Want more Lettuce King? (He was pretty subdued in this video. )
Want MORE Older Rigs Still On The Road Before Automatics AND Stretch Sleepers----There Are Amazing Ones Out There ESP Paint Jobs.
ALWAYS worth the wait Dave!! Stellar work as always, thank ya! N yes, more of the lettuce king please!!
--------- circa 1965 ....rolling trophy piece -------- w/Cat only time you'll need to open cool butterfly hood is to change filters --------- ✅
Legendary 💪🏾
That real truck
I'm a mechanic myself. Here in Iran, where spare parts for old American Trucks are extremely hard to find, we rebuild old Mack R600s and they are a legend amongst Iranian drivers. Seeing this, I have to confess that when you build a truck from scratch, using parts from so many different trucks, you are on the next level. Thank you for good content 👍
I saw some of your Iran mack and international Trucks down in Russia.
Iran is my dream motorcycle ride destination but sadly as an American i will never be allowed politicians suck
Thank you sir! I'll tell him what you said!
@@charlietaylor6389 that's sad. What's more sad is that this political situation is not the choice of Iranian people. We are trapped in this. Iran is like a pink diamond covered in poop. 😢
@@SmartTrucking that will be an honor for me
I'm 43 and I was immediately yelling mercury sleeper. Amazing 351. I grew up driving 359's. Now I'm in a new 95 w900 b with a 60 inch aerodyne.
Nice! Both the Lettuce King and I wish we were still 43 so our memories wouldn't be foggy and half shot! It's tough getting old!
The story’s you told of the lettuce king made me picture a 70yd guy for some reason
Same 😁
I'm a 71 yr old guy. I just "assumed" I was younger.... oops nope. Going to CA these days. Yikes and I'm originally from So Cal
That truck is a mechanics wet dream. It amazes me the talent some people have for taking bits and pieces from different models and years and making one awesome truck out of a pile of parts.
He is a bit of a mechanical genius!
@@SmartTrucking nothing better than watching those guys that know their shit. My uncle was the same way, give him a pile of parts he’d make a motor.
Beautiful rig. The Lettuce King has monster fabrication skills.
Yes he does!
Yes talking more about the guys very cool 😎
He should show this truck at the truck shows. Beautiful rig.
He might do that this year coming if the shows aren't "virtual".
Gimme forty acres and Ill turn this rig around. Long live the “Lettuce King”🥬👑🏆
I noticed you didn’t ask him about his ELD!😂
Turning radius of a 747!
No point in asking about something you'll never see him with!
No, really not too bad!
Absolutely hands down we All want more of these build videos from all your friends rigs!
This was well worth watching! I love the old rides. I’m 55 and recall my Dad and Grandfather running Diamond Reo. They’re only in museums now. Bring on more like this.
Glad you enjoyed it Michael!
Same here, I rode many Brockways and REO’s and Autocar’s
The "Lettuce King" is like the "Picasso" of the long hood's . Seen a few other builds he's done - man's got some REALLY amazing talent ..... Bravo..,.
Man, that's good! The Picasso of the long hoods! I gotta tell him that! Probably make his head swell though.
That's a sweet ride. I love seeing those old truck roar back to life. Awesome work
Glad you enjoyed it
@@SmartTrucking I actually look forward to yalls videos. I really like what yall do
Went to North Bay today and passed him on my way there looking sharp
BEAUTIFUL TRUCK. LOVE THE OLD NEEDLE NOSES.
I really enjoyed meeting the Lettuce King and his custom Peterbilt! I wish I could do what he does! I would love to learn more about the rivets on the Cab!
Shop guy: What's year os it?
Lettuce King: Well its a 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 petermoble an its a 61 62 63 64 ah 65.......
Johnny Cash would be proud!
😂😂😂
He built it one piece at a time and it cost him more then a few dimes lol!!
@catmodelt legendary motor for sure
The lettuce king is straight up gangster 😆
That start up was so worth it 👍 love this guys build because he actually built it barter, trade , fabricate his rig much respect real trucker.
Wow ... I hope I can build trucks like that when I grow up #amazing👌 love how he says he’s “budget oriented” on this build ... wish I had a budget like that on my builds 😂
“You guys are in for a treat today!” Boy we sure where!! 😂 that was awsome!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah we need more videos like that. Completely badass!
Long Live The Lettuce 🥬 King 🤴
We All know that's KW SLEEPER SQUARE DOOR PANELS!!# PACCAR PRIDE 😎💯👍🏾
The ontario large car community isn't huge, but damn do we have some nice iron.
I’ll give you that!
It's just gorgeous.
Yes it is, isn't it?
Thumbs up to you "Lettuce King", that's one cool rig.
Thanks Mr. Lettuce King, beautiful truck, excellent music, have a great weekend. Love to see more when you have the time.

Lettuce King For the Win
There he is! The lettuce king!
I love seeing all of these videos with the rebuilt trucks. I send them to my dad. My grandfather used to drive and I rode with him on occasion as a kid. Please show more videos like this.
LUV those butterfly hood K-DUBBS & PETES!!!!!!# PACCAR PRIDE 😎👍🏾💯✌🏾
Love the sound of a 3406 Cat. I had a 3406 B Cat in a C/O back in the day. Unfortunately, mine was turtle since only specd at 320 HP. So you could walk faster up a steep mountain.
One of the coolest trucks I’ve ever seen. 323 wheelbase? Wow. Nice to put a name with a face.
Lettuce king is bad ass. One hell of a truck
It was always entertaining running with the Lettuce King! And he always had fast, cool looking rides!
I think I remember him back in the day. I know I remember you from dealing with usa custmes. I was driving one of the overnight trucks. Pulling dry vans for Ford and Chrysler. I am sure I remember you.
This is the Best video I think you’ve ever uploaded and you guy’s have uploaded some extremely cool stuff. I Would definitely Love to see more of the Lettuce King, etc. Thankyou Smart Trucking family for giving us a glimpse of this amazing truck and kuddos to the Lettuce King on the work he did on his amazing rig! Thankyou for sharing! Hope you can locate a 6-4 for it. Love
Thank you sir, appreciate the kind words!
That is a cool truck.
Yeah, it sure is!
I can't stop commenting, he is like an old New England guy that makes a truck from the "parts department" , what others call the junk yard, man we have 40 year old Mack's that are made from 10 trucks still running everyday down here
Thanks for sharing this awesome build ! The painted dash is amazing !
The Large Car deserves a higher HP engine though.
Oh, don't worry, that will be coming! I know this lad!
Really like the "lettuce king" truck builds. The guy really has the touch when it comes to building beautiful rides.
Yes he surely does! More from him to come!
Loved it! Brought back memories, remember my dad driving a twin stick when I was young.
Sweet Pete.
Thanks! I'll tell him!
What beautiful piece if equipment. Everything just blends together. Love it
Yeah, he did a really nice job on this one!
Cool truck, more of the Lettuce King plz!
You got it!
Wow wow wow I just feel in love with that truck
Thanks for everything that you do..
I have learned a whole lot from you, I look forward to seeing videos weekly, all I can say is THANK YOU 🙏
Awesome! Thank you!
That's a sweet truck I love Pete's and I'm a big fan of the 351 my grandfather had one and i've been a fan of the 351 359 since I was a kid and still love them today they are such a seny ass truck
They are cool looking rides!
I'm and old school x produce hauler from North Carolina. I enjoy the Lettuce King video. I've driven a couple triple digit rigs way back. I heard you mention Edward Gantt AKA Southern Shaker. He and my father where about the same age. I grew up around him. He was a hell of a man. One of the nicest people you will ever meet. I spoke to him a few weeks before he passed.
NICE kitty cat purr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, she sounds good, doesn't she?
Youre going to have to drink more to drive this truck lol classic. This truck is absolutely phenomenal
She's an amazing ride!
So we FINALLY get to meet the famous LETTUCE KING
And yes it was totally worth the wait
Appreciate it Johny!
A cat using cummins filters. Classic
That is one sharp ride!!
Like the school bus windows
Nice looking early iron. Nice sounding too when you wake up that kitty cat.
Reminds me of "El Turbo's" Pete who made custom C.B.handle plates in CA. 👍
Yeah, that thing was quite a ride!
Yes more lettuce king and other truck ride alongside. Nice friend you have there, ought to have a monthly talk with him and others on your show. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Gregory!
Holy crap! He does exist!
Yes he does!
Great looking Peterbuilt. Nice rebuild. Good job on the interior. Cool colors!!Beautiful truck.
Yes it is! Thanks for watching!
Talk about the best duo on youtube I absolutely love watching these 2 together
I grew up riding in my uncle Joe's 1969 W925 with a 380 Cummins and Spicer 4x4 transmissions. He hauled milk with it for Milk Express in Florida. That truck was unreal fast especially for those days, 100+ MPH was no problem. Many a truck with a 318 Detroit ate his smoke. He's the reason I started building them and putting drivers behind the wheel. I love finding an old abandoned truck out behind someones house and having it brought to my shop so I can tear it down, bead blast the frame, and start to put them back together with fresh power, gears, and rears. I'm building a C500 at the moment thats getting a C18 (800 hp industrial engine with Pittsburgh Power exhaust manifold), 18 speed transmission, and a Meritor RZ-188 tridem. These are heavier than the RZ-166's Ive used in the earlier tridems Ive built. A nobel truck desires the best equipment available. There's money in hauling for the military. Here in Middle Tennessee I am close to Ft. Campbell Ky and Arnold AFB in Tullahoma Tn.
Wow! Gorgeous rig!
It sure is!
Man would I love to drive that. The Lettuce King sure has got the talent. Thanks for showing his ride.....
Our pleasure!
Man, I just want to hang out with Lettuce King just for an afternoon. Like at a backyard bbq…
Lettuce King is a very talented guy. Keep the rebuilds coming. 🇨🇦
Thats an awesome ride. A real truck not the garbage they build today.
The lettuce king is funny
He truly is! We passed hundreds of thousands of miles joking back and forth on the CB!
A one of a kind truck I like it, not like today’s trucks that don’t have an character.
I agree!
Let’s here more from the lettuce 🥬 king 🤴
He's trying to get up here and join us for a livestream! Cathy is having Nick rig up a pause and delete bleep button, just in case!
Beautiful large car!!! My father used to have a 1986 Peterbilt 359 with a 30406B day cab. It was his log truck.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful truck right there
It sure is!
I just realized what my life needs. A Smart Trucking / Lettuce King / DeBoss Garage crossover episode.
Didn't know DeBoss. Had to go check them out!
This was great guys. I used to work for a trucking company out of California in late 70s- 90s called Viking Freight Systems. Our logo was a Viking with his boot though the radiator on an old Ford cabover. Cool doesn't even begin to say the word about the Pete. Beautiful truck. Yes we would love to hear more from him. Thanks again.
😂🤣 rare as hens teeth!! Great truck, great video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Man that truck sure is pretty! I was never big on fancy looking trailers, but when they match like that, wow!
It is nice, isn't it?
of course I enjoyed it! The world can always use more Lettuce King content. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool dude with brains..
Flat out awesome!! I had a ‘67 with a 262 and 5x4. Wish I still had it
Great video, I really enjoyed it.
Awesome, thank you!
Way cool truck. I’d love to see more of it and hear more from him.
Just think how trucking was in the 60s...... It took some real drivers to do the job.... now days we have GPS, cell phones, dam e logs and help at the push of a button. Back then you truly depended on your cb.... paper maps and you better have a blanket and tools if you break down in the middle of no ware. Now days there is a house every mile at least in most spots.... then you could drive 2 hours and not see a thing....
don't forget the pills.at least there were rumors of some people taking pills,not that i ever did.
Ain’t that the truth!
That's right! Those were some tough and resourceful old boys!
Now that's an awesome truck
wow thats amazing!!He loves his job and his rig like a old classic musclecar guy does
You should see his muscle car, it's incredible!!
WOW! ! Did I say WOW! Dave thank you for sharing this. I like building model trucks and this gives me an idea.
Glad you liked it!
Appreciate all your work and shared wisdom folks. But this one here, the "Lettuce King", this is special. I understand not to everyone, but to us Originals that cut our teeth on the 2 stick, rebuilt, modified and built our own large kars it is special. Thanks again.
Thank you Greg!
Man what a beautiful rebuild'the cat engines just purrs
40#84 were the best yrs in my opinion all steel then
He loves “the pipe and somebody else’s junk” 😂 5:24
Woah Lettuce King I love the truck it's beautiful. I can't wait to see it running down the highway.
Very soon! And probably late at night!
@@SmartTrucking Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man that engine is like a piece of jewelry an it's the dimaid beautiful truck hats off to you
That's is beautiful truck i drive alot nice trucks i work on all to keep them nice
The man always want to see him
That truck was giving me flashbacks. The sounds...
That 65 351 Pete is a piece of art
Yes it truly is, and art you can play with!
I swear I saw this truck in iowa! Same color pulled in stretched, sooooo clean
Awesome truck well done Lettuce King
Best video ever! I loved watching the gear shift. Much cooler than an automatic Volvo, don't you think, Dave? And we want stories from Lettuce King, please!
Deal!
