      Unemployment is currently at a record low. Your orange Messiah gave us breadlines, empty store shelves, no toilet paper, and 14.7% record high unemployment. Didn't your "God" thingy tell you not to judge? Seems plenty of Americans are working right now. I thought you weren't supposed to lie either? Lemme guess, you're a republican Christian?

    These are magnificent trucks! I grew up with a 59 2 ton that was a grain truck that was the same color as this one. It was always parked inside, only driven during harvest, and only had 19K miles on it when we sold it in 1991. Even the original upholstery was still pristine. I miss that truck.... Seeing this brings back fond memories of those beautiful trucks. I hope this one will get restored. Thanks for the wonderful content!

    I've been subscribed to back before you changed the name. I really like watching you save these classics. I Loved this video! It so reminded me of my Dads old 49-50 Chevy pickup that my uncle wedged between two trees up here in Massachusetts, back in the early 1960's. My dad just got done working on it when my uncle, my dad's sisters husband, came over. I was about five years old and he said to dad..."mind if I take a ride through your woods? Dad didn't answer and off uncle Russ went into my parents woods. 20 minutes or so later he comes walking out of the woods. What happened said dad. "I got her stuck" is all he said . There the truck sat. We used it as a playhouse. Pretending to drive. I remember sitting in the steering wheel and rocking back and forth. I used the hood as a toboggan one winter. Vandals broke the windows, Stole parts. The land was sold off in the eighties because taxes doubled. And dads Chevy was buried under tons of dirt,. It now rests as we speak, several feet underground, below a housing development. I'm 65 now and wished I could have pulled that truck out of the woods and fixed it for dad. Dads gone some 20 years now. This video brought a tear to my eye thinking back to that day in 64.Thank you.

    Just about 10 years ago we had a 66 Chevy with a shot transmission but the body was in pristine shape for being here in the North East USA.. How ever it was pinned between some trees not so big around as those are. But with the help of a guy digging a septic pool right near us he & his helper took interest in helping us out. He told us to get together a bunch of study pallets some long 2X12" planks and ply wood. I was already reading the guys mind and it was early on a very sunny Sat we arrived at 6am to chop up them pesky ole trees which I took home for winter firewood. The guy with the back hoe lifted the front of the truck right in the air so we could build our ramp to get over the other low cut stumps. We worked together like we had worked together all our lives and just built our ramp and with his helper doing one super job of coaxing the truck with a large bobcat machine from behind this thing came up and out of its pinch like it was a magic trick. Mind ya it took me most of 3 days to get everything there and then I cut stuff to size with my helper but I will say some amazing things can happen if U put your mind to it on the rescue engineering end of things.

    My son and I recently restored a 56 6400 that is a lot like this truck, just a little heavier suspension. Not enough folks save these big trucks, great video.

    some old cars and trucks want to just rust away in peace but some want to live like this ol girl. the chevy viking truck is one of my dream trucks its cool to see one brought back to life. great job

    Was brilliant to see the old truck drive out. Amazing how you bought it back to life after all those years. Looking forward to see what you do with it 👍

    Good job guys. It is amazing that the clutch was not stuck.
