Am I the only one that's really invested in seeing how his dad's truck will turn out once finished?! Gotta love the old school trucks!
I'm hoping he makes it 100% stock but keeps the old shift knob his dad touched for so many years. However, knowing strad, it's probably going widebody with some bright colored wrap and white wheels.
He should put a 408 stroker motor in it
It’s hilarious that he doesn’t know how a fuel nozzle works
@@drewskiaka3806 nah hes right to be cautious bc even I know they have a mechanism to stop but when i was filling my moms car it didnt work for some reason and overflowed down the side of the car
@@drewskiaka3806 well I know as a kid it overflowed all the time so there's that
I want to see a full restoration on that truck more than anything you've done yet. Awesome piece of history.
Thanks man! I can't wait to get started on it
@@TheStradman Hey strad! i figured id let you know that my dad owns the 1970 Chevrolet equivalent of your dad's truck with the same paint color and it's also a single cab except my dads is not the 350 v8 its the 402 v8 from the corvette of the time. the value of these trucks is just rising and rising, please keep this truck stock and just do a restoration. i cant wait to see what holds in the future for your truck, keep it real james!
I’d say a restoration to the exact spec that your dad had. Either that, or keep it as a sentimental asset. If you mod it, and change it too much, it becomes a different vehicle that can’t relate to the memories you had. I’d probably just put it back exactly as it was.
@@holde.nazarian all of them are single cabs
@@TheStradman Have you started on it?
I feel every ounce of fear that james had when that bug came flying out XD
Quite literally the most relatable feeling anyone who has had a car can feel.
But also really stoked to see what he does with his dads truck! Probably one of the most important cars in his garage i would imagine
Not only would your brothers know what you're talking about, the ones who know the childhood startups, with the family memories know what you're talking about Strad. We are all here because we can relate. We are happy to see someone who is lucky enough to relive it again man. Thank you for the content buddy.
The bug looked like a mud dauber, which aren't usually aggressive and would prob be why it didn't go crazy when you were in the cabin. Good job on maintaining composure and looking forward to future truck endeavors!
Thought it looked like a tarantula hawk but i don’t even know if they live in the us 😂
@@emmanuelpaul6903 oohhh no, those things are FAR more terrifying than that lil guy, you would know if it was a tarantula hawk just by the way they act/sound alone, they are also freaking massive
@@emmanuelpaul6903 same i thought it was that too
Thought the dauber had a different thorax
It was in the truck with a celebrity so it was calm. It never attacked him. It just wants to be besties
We're very excited to see where this air suspension setup goes 😉
Unless y’all make air suspension differently now I’d assume it’s gonna go mostly up or down.
@@bigboredom5800 nah they go side to side now
Don’t worry, I’ll be making it a very clean setup! 🤙🏻
I believe it goes in the suspension
@@sixtytoogood-1452 blud is NOT stradman😭
This truck build will be amazing. My dad used to have a '71 that was blue/white. He had just gotten it fully restored when unfortunately we got into an accident while bringing a load of wood home. That was the last time we rode in that truck. It's been 27 years since that accident, but the memories and smell of that truck remain just as strong today as they did back then. I think it would be awesome to see your whole family pose with the truck once rebuilt. Best of luck with the project!
I’m glad that you’ve got your dads old truck back. I myself have a 1962 Chevy c10 my very first truck and my grandfather has a 1965 c10. And we love our trucks
James being horrified of a dirt dauber is absolutely hilarious😂😂
One of the least aggressive stinging insects in the world lol
If someone doesn't know it's a mud dauber and not a more aggressive type of wasp, his reaction is understandable, but I guess mocking ppl makes you feel better about yourself.
@daexion noting that something was found fairly comical is far from whatever super softness you are referring to. Grow up, join the real world.
@@daexion Please explain how they are mocking James? It was an admittedly funney sequence of events that provided some fun, light hearted humor due to the fact that the insect is basically harmless despite its appearance.
Don't they sting?
Seeing James scared of the bug is every single person in the world. God I was laughing the entire sequence
Honestly James, of all the videos you’ve done, and cars you have owned and own, this is by far the best of them all!! I Can only imagine how you feel owning and driving this truck, knowing that your father used to sit right where you are sitting, and must create some wonderful memories for you too! I’m sure you dad is smiling down upon you from heaven!!!! So happy for you brother!!! 🙏🏽 ☺️
Thank you for putting the photo of you and your dad back on the videos. I don't know how to describe it, but it makes you look real. Like a down to earth person. Not just a actor or something.
Love to see an American Classic car on the channel. It is a good change of pace for you! Excited to see where it takes you and the different groups of people it'll open the door to.
Man, the video of you picking up your dad's truck was by far my favorite. My mother bought my first truck for me in 2006 (06 Chevy Single Cab). I've had many other cars since then, but i will never let go of that thing.
So happy for you to have it back in the family. Looking forward to seeing the love you will put in to it.
I cannot wait to see more on the truck. I own a 68 c10 and 72 c10 so this is sweet. My 72 was my grandpas truck I grew up in so watching you have the same enjoyment makes me so happy! I can’t wait to see what you do bro!!!
The restoration of your dad’s truck is what I’m here for! Hopefully you can make it look all brand new!
Sarah n Tuned did a really sympathetic revival of her grandfather's old truck. It would be a great collaboration to ask her to do your truck too.
So happy you got your dad truck ik how much he meant to you and your family this truck Is a reminder how much your dad sacrificed to give you the life you have now from how you always speak of him I can tell he was a great men he’s in heaven with all my lost ones two just know he’s looking down and could not be more happy to see the millions you bring joy to every time you post a video
Im so looking forward to your dads truck build. It is going to be one of the best experiences ever. That truck holds a very special place in my heart!
The only reason why I know this man isn’t actually going broke with this house and is actually doing everything perfect to his plan is that HES A DAMN ACCOUNTANT he knows what he’s doing
EDIT: thank you guys for all the likes!! 🥳🥳
He built a house during the most expensive time in the last decade…
He was fired from that job. I'd say he wasn't a great accountant
Dude bought a Bug before owning any real estate..
@@BM-ve1uv what color is your Bugatti?
@@grabsme they were laying people off and he was one of the newest employees…
Last time I was this quick she walked out the room mad at me! 😅
💀💀💀
That is not funny to say to a family friendly channel bro I’m 9
@@XPolarXRaptorX and you talk so professionally 😂
That is not funny to say to a family friendly channel bro I'm 3
@@XPolarXRaptorX you sure did get the joke for a 9 year old haha 😄
James being petrified of the wasp is just so down to earth for such a larger than life guy
Incredibly wholesome to see the truck being loved again.
I can't wait to see a full restoration. Good luck and have fun with it all man. It's beautiful.
I love how strad can video himself going to the DMV and it’s still a hit. Not gonna lie I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it, but it’s funny to me to think that there are a bunch of creators that if they did the same thing they would be canceled.. lol
what
@@de_stroyed he seriously just video taped his trip to the DMV and has already gotten 600k views in a day, you try posting that and see how many views you get
@@michaeltaylor4271 are u high, bro???
how does going to the dmv get you cancelled and where did I say I can get 600k views. your iq is in single digits.
where has Sophia been
The truck is probably one of my favorite editions because he always seems so cheerful driving it.
Seeing the smile on James face getting in that truck is priceless can’t wait to go on this adventure and see what he does with this truck. His dad is smiling for sure.
Congrats on finding your dad’s old truck! Definitely the most important vehicle on this channel now, can’t wait to see what the plan is!
LMAO this was my favorite video from you so far James, that was a Wasp in your Dad's old truck and man you are lucky that it didn't decide to bite you when you were driving! Cant wait to see you restore that truck it should be EPIC!!!
Im so happy how far he has come with theese videos lately is just amazing
I love this story reminds me of my Dad and I with my first car God bless James & his father and of course Mom as well. ❤️
Everytime this man post makes my day always positive
Ok this was a wholesome vlog. And emotionally gripping. But I definitely think you and your brothers or nick should fully restore the truck Together. Definitely your brothers. Family togetherness. Is important
Glad to see you got your dad’s truck back home, excited to see it get some love and you get to enjoy it!
You work on so many popular or new cars, it's refreshing to see you take care of your dad's ride.
Love you’re videos, I’ve been watching the channel most of my life and enjoy every video you’ve made
My day gets so much better when stradman posts a video❤️
Means alot Mate its just not your dads car but alot of people out there who would love to buy there dads old car back whatever it might be. respect to you man.
The v6 that came with year is near indescribable. They were designed for tractors. My highschool friends dad had one of those. And still does. I graduated in 97 for context.
Hey just a heads up I’m not sure if you’re gonna see this, the stop feature on cars is actually the gas pump, when you fill a car up to full the fuel will come all the way up the neck and once the front of the nozzle hits the fuel it cuts the flow🫡. Anyways I’m glad you got your dads truck back. You’re my favorite TH-camr to date
It didn’t work a couple of times for me and leaked all under my car and on my tires and also the fuel filler and body. When I started the car, I almost blew up, but I didn’t since I’m here typing this today.
STRAD FIGHTING THE BUG IS WHAT I LIVE FOR
I know how you feel my dad passed in the beginning of 2011 before he passed he sold his truck and always wondered if I could locate it I would cry too congrats on finding it . I can tell you loved your dad very much
Genuinely you’re my favorite TH-cam channel to watch you keep me the most engaged and entertaining love it man, keep it up
It's a good day when Strad posts a video😁keep up the good work brother💪love from South Africa🇿🇦❤
Same here my man🇿🇦 Strad needs to visit us one day💪😆

Your the goat strad keep doing your thing more success to you my man
Watching you hype your dad's old truck is the greatest addition ever! love the content.
Love this video and am going to love this series. Keep doing the things that make you happy bro
You all know the saying “If the Stradman uploads its automatically a good day”
I would definitely keep that color and keep it as stock as possible. I would just do engine and exhaust and nice wheels.
I'd restore it to 100% showroom stock, wheels and all, but I'd keep the old worn out shift knob that has his dad's fingerprints all over it.
I love that you found his truck . I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Today marks 19 years since I lost my dad to cancer still iss him every day. I’m hope one day to find my dad Camaro we sold Shen he got sick. Your dad would be proud to see why you have done over the last two year. Wishing you the best can’t wait to see more in the truck
8:48 James, we all saw your pain when you lost your father. Hell, we could even feel it. You are driving your father's truck. It matters to all of us.
Love your vids bro. Keep it up! 🎉
Dads truck. More special than any other? I hear ya. Look forward to maybe seeing mods and improvements.
Really happy to see you with a classic. Can't wait to see what you do with your dad's truck.
That cold start had me dying 😂😂
I know EVs are so stupid 🤦♂️
haha right! I almost fell out of my chair laughing when he said that!
Without this truck stradman wouldn’t be able to drive. The truck he learned to drive in. What a beautiful story
It’s very nice move from james to bring a sentimental value for the family what a nice son god bless his dad and his family plus of course James and keep his dad memories alive 🙏🏼👍🏼😊
What a day. Strad has uploaded and there's no shock that it's another banger of a vid🔥. Love it Strad, keep up the grind. Love the way he fanboying over that Aventador yet my guy owns two
Need more sophia on vlogs 💥
She's back in her home in Canada for a bit but she will be back.
@@ICP1SBJ Okays thanks yo
Please keep your dad's truck vlogs going. It is one of the most special vehicles you have!
Love the old c10. I’m rebuilding my gpas old 55’ GMC and it’s the most sentimental thing I’ve ever done. Can’t wait to see the progress

So I have to be honest. Seeing you drive the car that your Dad owned brought a tear to my eyes. I also miss my Dad a ton.
Been a long ish time supporter of the channel, and idk if there’s any other vehicle that has got me more excited. So happy you found it, and can’t wait to see where it goes (whether it be resto mod or something insane)
What happened to the girlfriend.???
I cant wait to see what you have in store for this truck! It's def going to be awesome!
Looking forward to watching the process of whatever project the truck ends up becoming!
Cant wait to see what you do with the truck. Its got so much potential, lm loving it.
I’m so happy to see the c10 content, I have a 1971 c10 that I daily drive and I absolutely love it, I can’t wait james
So glad you got your dads truck that's really cool! Made me cry!!! Best car/truck you own in my opinion!
Congrats on getting your dads truck back man! Been watching since the Gallardo/R8 Days
Ive loved your content ever since :D
Love the content James and always have! Lol the plate on the truck expires on my birthday😂
SOOOOO ❤Happy you found this truck , emotional tho , but SOO COOL YOU EVEN FOUND IT!
Very excited to see the restoration of the truck!
I can't wait to see more videos with your dad's truck ❤❤
Dad's truck is a nice addition. Can't wait to see the finished outcome.
One of my dream trucks!! I cannot wait to see this build
Love this video!!! Your dad would be so proud!!!
I'm more excited to see your dad's truck get restored more than any other build I've seen on this channel so far.
LOL James, if Sophia was there she would protect you from the bug.
Love the video as always, just wish they were a bit longer!!!
I think it’s really sweet you have your Dad’s GMC old truck back and you have the newest GMC Hummer EV, it comes full circle with the history of the brand. Pretty cool
Beyond happy for you finding your dads truck.
Respect! Hopefully the restoration comes alive!
Can't wait to see wat you do to the truck hope you keep it somewhat factory
Can’t wait to see the restored version!
U don't seem to have as strong of emotional ties to your cars as you used to, so ur Dads truck is the one that I care about and will keep me coming back. Thanks for all you do for the supercar community James!
no no we love this we love seeing you talk about your dad and we do love to see this truck
Glad you got your dads truck man. That’s awesome!
Glad to know there are other grown men out there who are just as terrified of bugs as I am.
Great video as always James! Just a piece of advise that I'm sure other people have already given but because it is a classic small block chevy and is obviously carbureted, the fuel pump is mechanically driven off of the cam shaft meaning unless the engine is cranking, no fuel is getting to the carburetor. Also because of the carburetor, it's a good idea to pump the gas a few times before turning the key, and holding down the gas pedal while cranking before it starts. Hope this helps👍🏼
Have been fallowing you for years now and glad to see the old GMC can't wait to see what you do with it.
Super stoked for you on that truck will definitely be the coolest vehicle in the fleet, not to mention the most sentimental. I would’ve freaking died with that bug in the car. 😂😂
Haven't laughed this much in a few days now. Thanks for that :)
you got me there on the cold start-up on the Humer EV... EV!!
Man!! I can’t wait for the truck build videos
@8:36 the choke should be the knob below the wiper/washer, pull that out when cold starting, then push in when temp starts going up. I have a '68 Chevy C-10, that's where mine is. Get a bottle of Rain-X to use on the windshield, I also use on the back window of my Honda. You crack me up!
I had a 67 chevy c10 and loved it. I'm excited to see what you do with it.
