    I'm in Texas, an old Military Vet. I once owned a 7.3 Power Stroke Ford older model. I really liked. Before that I used to see and hear tha first generation dodge trucks. Man to be totally honest to this day I still love tha look and sound of tha older dodge cummins some fifty years later. My plans are to in tha near future find me one

    Hey Sam i've been watching your video's the past 3 day's. Great! finished Project's on your Dodge Cummins truck's. I'm Subscribed to your channel. My Uncle Owned a Really nice 2nd Gen 1997 100% Stock besides new axle bearings bushings brakes, paint on hood & roof. He bought the truck brand new in Port Alberni British Columbia. I got my license for the second time early this year. I really wanted to buy his truck. Couldn't get it unfortunately. He sold it for $10,000. I got to see the truck only once in my life when i was 12 years old. I got a another cummins story for ya that i will comment on your white 2nd gen truck towing video. Cheers later. Nick from Van Isl. B.C. Canada

  • @mwils51
    @mwils51 Рік тому

    Nice job dude! I am in almost the exact same situation as you only maybe not nearly as bad as far as the engine and drive train go. My father-in-law passed last month. My brother-in-law inherited his 2019 Dodge Ram 2500. I inherited his 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 he parked in the cow pasture when he bought the 2019 Dodge. Mechanically the only thing wrong with it is the AC won't turn on and is stuck on heat due to the blend door being broke. The engine fired on the first crank and it has a full tank of diesel in it. It only has 130K miles on the truck. Runs perfect. Now the rest of it is as bad if not worse than yours. The truck never saw a car wash or vacuum cleaner until I took it yesterday. The bed and cab were stacked with all kinds of junk. It has been sitting for 4 years with the back glass broken out. The thing was and still is totally nasty inside even after me scrubbing on it for hours at the car wash yesterday. Fed them a whole plastic baggy full of quarters and I am probably half way done. The bed on the truck is pretty beat up and I love how you solved that problem with the work bed and fixed the front end with the cattle guard. I didn't know you could turn a 2500 into a dually 3500. WOW! I would love to get mine restored as nice as yours but I doubt I will take it that far.
