    Damn. That truck is looking good. Those Classics are really easy to work on. Your truck has a great looking frame and rear axles. Especially for the year of the truck. A truck with hardly any rust is a big plus. Probably you want to get all the air problems fixed first After that. One problem at a time. Best of Luck with your new Ride. Will be waiting to see the progress. Stay Safe out There. 🇺🇸👍💯

    Adam pull out all the stops on that interior that is Your personal space /driving /living / Sleeping / office space it needs to make you feel happy & in controll it needs to reflect your personality but you need to set it up for your driving / living / sleeping style Me I go by my middle name Edward ( ED ) you could call that sleeper space behind you Adams Retreat or Adams Lounge make it look like a classic truckstop diner as for the bumper I would get a hold of those chrome shop mafia guys in Joplin MO. And go with a new Montana Bull Hauler special super chrome slab center Mount tow pin and some super Hella Driving lights Years ago for me 1990s I drove a super 10 I did not like it I would swap out that for a 13 spd OD or the simplicity & convience of a Fleet proven 7spd what is important is your final drive ratio but any how you need a new cockpit full instrumentation to keep you tuned into what’s going on under the hood & floor your comfort & health are most important in that Cab I would go with a total enviromental control package maintain ambient temperatures & humidity / dehumidify and a super micron air particulate purification system and a premium extra firm memory matress And for your seats the driver seat should be cooled/ heated swivel Bostrom Air Vikings and a emergency door on the sleeper and a new Fontaine No Lube fifth wheel just to get started I know I have a wild imagination but if it’s going to be your dream truck Go big you only live once in this World we’ll have fun with it Adam maybe your Wife has some Custom ideas for you thanks for listening to my Rant

    I’ve been subscriber of yours pretty much since day one. Really like your videos. But why in the world you purchased this old truck is a mystery to me? I’m sure You as a businessman know this: this truck lost half of its value since you bought it almost two years ago. And the worst part is, it continues to lose market value while you let it sit and collect dust on your backyard.

      That old truck is much more reliable than any rig that's a few years old with DPF/DEF. Saw a 12.7 60 series get to 2.2 million miles before any overhaul was done, put two or three transmission in it normal suspension work every few years but no motor work before 2.2 million.
