Nice job. I have a 46 willies. that I did a frame up. Restoration. 10 years ago. Bought me some US male Jeep. interfenders and front fenders. boxed in the frame. It's been through the Rubicon now. 20 times. I'm retired. And only drive it to the ranch. and some shows.

Wow! I remember this truck from when I was a little kid. I think the first time I seen it was at arco arena in Sacramento

I wanna know what happened to the "Outlaw 35" monster truck. Monster Mania 1986

Awesome content man! My dad a I used to look for old 70s-80's monster trucks. I live in Tennessee, and the junkyards here have a lot of old iron sitting in them.

What winch did you use

Great video! I grew up in Hickory cty MO.

Wow I had not seen the end of this video yet. Unbelievable. I’m so sorry to hear of this loss. Gary hang in there buddy!

What a great experience

This is what i love about motor sports!! The innovation!!

Man that’s so sad poor Gary lost everything. That truck was legendary and on top of that he had those vintage bikes and old parts of the truck from its history.

The Banter Bros were my guys back in the day. This video bringing me right back to my youth and waiting for pulls to be on ESPN

This is the first of your videos I have seen and these are enjoyable. Thank you for your work, and most of all think of Mr Collins and his shop loss.

I still do not know why you have to rip so much apart to change a bulb. Thanks chevy

I still have a few of my banter micro machine tractors. I'd love to put them In a signed case.

hmm interesting, I like it!

The blue chevy truck, NICE back when Chevrolet still built real trucks, not the soccer moms shit they build today. Chevrolet still builds quality cars and trucks, but a three quarter ton truck with IFS ? Well that is for soccer moms to take kids to soccer practice not for 4wheelin or a work truck.

I wish there was a like again button .

great video. such sad news at the end though. almost eerie in a way. hopefully everyone is doing ok

Thank you for making the video, you did an amazing job!! I currently live in north central Missouri but I used to live in Lamar Mo in the late 90s. I never got a chance to see the truck in person but always wanted too. Very sad to hear about the fire. Just glad Gary and family are ok.

Thank you for this. Gary, thank you for being you!!! I grew up watching you all drag that sled. The memories had me crying. Again thank you!!! Both.

DAM 🦫❗️ I Remember seeing that Bad Boy run , when I was a kid! & ask People from time to time if anyone Remembered That Gear ⚙️ Turning , Powerhouse ? ICONIC AMERICANNA 💪 ♥️ 🇺🇸 🛻 😎 👍- Awesome Truck - Great Memory Maker ! A Tribute Truck Would Be A Decent Build 🤔 For Sure ‼️

Another truck that will not move till the day the owner does then it will run again

Was the sleds empty?

last I knew, Gary had it at his farm in Eldorado Springs Missouri.

That is one of the most awesome trucks ive ever seen. That was hilarious to see him go from driving straight to turning and kept going!lol Hopefully he can come up with a plan to rebuild. At least he has some support and documentation of all of it. Sorry for your loss Gary.

I was so excited that something from the past was as still around cause you always wonder where they went. It’s so sad that it was lost after being saved all those years😢

Well... It's an Orange Blossom...And Sure Enough Special.!!!

Beautiful, Beautiful Truck! ❤

I have never heard engines sound so in tune as there’s was

heartbreaking, I can't even imagine. What incredible timing, we're all thankful you got the video you did.

There was a guy not too far from where i grew up in Iowa that had a square body gm pulling truck with an Alison v12. I wonder if it's the same one mentioned early in this video... the same guy also built and owned one or two of the pulling sleds that got used around western Iowa. Later on in the 80s, he built a self-propelled sled to eliminate the tow back tractor

i love that you are finding these old pulling trucks and hearing the stories of how they started out and what it was like back in the day. my Grandpa ran around with Jon Boden who had the Studley Studebaker and he said the Blue Ox was a truck that always ran pretty well and could give them a run for their money

There's a blue truck just like this one sitting in a backyard in Crabtree Pennsylvania on 119.

Incredible video ,what a tragic loss ..it’s great that you got to document its history ..but I couldn’t believe the ending .🙏🏻

Wow cool truck

I have seen a few of your videos. I wonder do you remember BOSS BLUE ford pull tracter from the 80s the last time i seen the tracter it was owned by a trucking company in Saskatoon Saskachewan the company name is L.E.Matchett trucking or transport. I dont know if it ever competed in the USA. Pretty sure they did take it down south. It was a ford tracter running 1 engine then 2 last i saw 3 engines plus the had a lwn tracter with a ford 460 and super charger. I sure would like to see some coverage of the canadian pullers. Thank you😮

So much awesome history lost😢

I bought a Jaske racing meister Brau crew shirt off of ebay a long time ago. It was a 4x i think

I remember the bud boss at the checkerdome in st louis.

I love this Jeep Truck ! Awesome build ! Do you want to sell it ?

I remember being a little kid in the 80s in Nebraska going to pulls and monster truck shows as my yearly Birthday present . I today have a built car and trucks that were directly influenced by going to these events as a kid .. thank god for stuff like this ❤❤❤

What do you do when the bolts coming from the frame to yhe arm is stripped...

Rob, what an amazing video and Gary Collins is an amazing man. Our hearts break for him with this terrible fire. We wish him well and our prayers go with him. He will treasure your efforts and video of his work🥲. Marjie and Bob Reed

When you go to Georgetown .. Scott county pulls . Video from the end stands .. its much better .

This was a great video ... Untill the end . So sad the last news is terrible . I was hoping to get news that he was was gonna go rip some shows of some sort. . Breaks my heart

What motor is in there currently?

God that is so sad. I'm glad though you got this video. That truck was a fantastic build. Very sad that it's destroyed....I hope maybe he will rebuild.

There was a turbine powered tractor many years ago driven by a man by the name of art arfonz ( i hope the spelling is right) but that thing was awesome theyd shut down the lights in the stadium and hed light that thing up it was so cool man see if u can find that one sometime

I was just asking you about the lil kw and here she is. I seen the lil kw, orange blossom special and big foot 1 and 2 at the old busch stadium in the early 80's and remember it like it was yesterday.

Oh .. and I love the hard work you put in to finding these old legend trucks and the people that owned them . GREAT GREAT job you do . FIND THEM ALL LOL
