Many years ago I was on my way to the Street Rod Nationals in Klerksdorp with my wife and newborn son, in a '48 Chevy sedan delivery. The Holden Premier diff spat out it's carrier bearings and Herman and his late brother helped us out by rebuilding the diff on a Sunday and getting us back home. I will never forget that act of kindness, and Herman is a friend to this day.
What a nice story! More proof that Herman is just awesome dude!
I am very happy for you, and a big thanks to the wonderful people who made it happen. have a great day. Brian.
Thanks Brian
A friend in need is a friend indeed, . . .Mnr. Prinsloo is truly a Prince for his kindness. Veelsgeluk met die aangande projek.
I agree 🙂
Well Dif, there are still some awesome folk around this world,...To the guys from Klerksdorp Well done Manne for coming through to help Dif on his project. Cannot wait to see the next episode !!😊
Yes, there is!😀
You’re doing an awesome job of demonstrating that Ratrod can mean great workmanship.
Thanks! I feel strongly that rat rods should not be an excuse for bad workmanship
Those custom straps are brilliant! Great creative thinking Diff!
Thanks to the manne from klerksdorp for fixing you up with a custom propshaft, and when all else fails, just make it yourself, in true 'Tiffy' fashion. I love your videos because they are entertaining, educational and inspire others, Baaie Dankie!
Yeah, very happy. Thanks boet!
You are one lucky man to have people help out! Good to have good people around keep the good work coming thanks for sharing .
I'm glad your South African mates were able to help you out Div
That turned out awesome Diff, I'm glad you made the effort to do a 1 piece shaft, I think it's gonna have a better feel and a longer life than a 2 piece design, it also great when good people step up with the help you need to get the best parts, kudos to those guy's and we appreciate their support for you.
Thanks! Yes, I agree
You have one of the top hotrodding videos on TH-cam, Duff. It's always a joy to watch and LISTEN to you.
That's quite a compliment, thank you!!
That was cool someone made your prop shaft for you there is great people and businesses around the world that step in and make life a little easier for you love cap keepers you made awesome see ya on the next one 😊
It is so wonderful when someone unexpectedly helps you out with something like this, good to see people pitching in and letting you know they appreciate your hard work on the project and channel!

Hey Div,
It is a great thing to see when fans contribute to a project.
I do not know the man but I offer my thanks to him also.
Div it is strange to see you wearing a heavy jacket there when here in Kansas we are having temperatures near 100 degrees fahrenheit.
I have always assumed Africa was warm to hot.
I guess I was not paying attention in school.
Work Safe, Be Well, Keep Warm
Enjoy Life
Africa is a huge continent, much bigger than the States. Parts in the Northern hemisphere, parts in the tropics, similar weather to the Caribbean, and a large chunk in the Southern Southern hemisphere. I'm right at the Southern tip of it
Salute to gear head nation! Good folks. Thanks to those boys from all of us!
Great! He came thru and you both got something. He got some good marketing and you got the shaft.
That was a very nice thing for a stranger to do. Build and send you a custom made brand new prop shaft. U bolts were pretty sweet too!🇨🇦👍
Yes it was!
Thats looking great Div...Well done. Thank you for sharing.
Down under we call ourselves Bogans, hoons and revheads there are more that come and go with the ages. Keep up the good work mate.
Interesting words! Adding them to my vocabulary 🙂
love this build, you are a true craftsman
More fun from the forest. Thanks Div.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Genius idea with the U bolt fabrication.
That guy that hooked up is a true gear head and a nice person ty from me I want to see this thing rip
Very Pleased for you. You are a humble Genius. Excellent! Thanks.
Thank you!
That's an awesome dude to come through for you like that. He knows you have a great channel and it keeps growing ! He deserves the advertisement and you deserve the parts. That dude knows good workmanship ! Especially with your limited recourses. The build looks awesome!!!!
I appreciate all the support, it's amazing!
There’s still good people out there! What a great surprise. Problems like that can really throw a wrench into your progress. I’m glad you were able to get it sorted out. Cheers!
Outstanding result Diff.
Wow that is amazing. Div God works in mysterious ways my friend. Congratulations. Hopefully you will get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more updates and projects and videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Brilliant video Diff and nice of GBS and PSC to donate the prop shaft that’s what you call great companies in helping people
That's a big bite out of the elephant. I wasn't trying to rattle your cage with "sea trials", only borrowing nautical terminology. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks Div.
Nothing rattled, no worries😀
👍🏻Awesome they helped you out!!!

Propshaft, Bonet, boot and petrol tank.
Being a British car owner.

Yes, we use the same terms as you guys. Strong British influence in our history🙂
Happy a solution was found... cheers to GBS and PSC ... probably see you Weds for another short vid 😉 gotta love them clicks 😎

In Australia we call it a tail shaft. Thanks for sharing your work. Following from Sydney Australia.

Hudson is coming along great . You do top work .The driveshaft man is a top bloke,he also is keen to see it driving.

That is what you can call Brotherhood, one man or lady looking out for their fellow rodders or bikers. Good on them for doing that propshaft for you.
That was very nice of them guys.👍
Yes it was!
I am really enjoying watching this build come together.
Great video Div! Thank you🍺
My pleasure!!👍
Coming together my friend!
Thanks to Manne, just goes to show when your in the rat rod /hot rod family everything is possible. Have a lekka one Div, keep "eating away" at the tasks for the Hudson
Lekka oom OG!
Awesome. Us Gearheads/Petrol heads gotta look out for each other! I like the u-joint caps too! Lekka Broet!
Nice job on the caps 👍 but I have a tip for the old timers , you only push a file , back dragging a file dulls it 😂
Yeah, I know that. Lazy old timer...😂
Looking good, from the US.
WOW some good people there hey Dif...PETROLHEADS UNITE...great work on the u bolts too.....yes over here in Australia ..petrolheads is the term used.
What a great episode.
And evidence of a VERY SOUTH AFRICAN Thing……. Generous people.
Div/Diff if anyone deserves a generous push in the right direction, for always being generous with his advice, help, education…… it would be you.
Thanks to the guys who all stood together to make this happen for you.
MOOI MANNE.
Baie Dankie
I'm amazed by all the support, yours included! Dankie! 🙂
What a great gift man !! That’s old school hospitality my brother. Each of us looking out for each other. And not just chasing the all mighty dollar. Love it ✌🏻and cool U Bolt creation. I love to see you happy man. This was very cool. Love it 👍🏻✌🏻
You got that right! Thanks!
Nice gift.
Glad to see you have one less worry. It’s looking great. Did you really think it might not work? You spend a lot of time planning. It had to work.
👍🏻👍🏻
🙂 Still good to actually see it working out
Good stuff glad there is still some decent people left in the world. 😁🇬🇸👍
Hi boet you are having xmas in July with that lekka drive shaft. Big shout out to the sponsors from klerksdorp. Take care care boet.
That's super cool!

Another good one Diff KEEP THEM COMING 👏 🇺🇲
That’s pretty great!! Not only did you get a brand new driveshaft that fits perfectly, but it has a shiny paint job on it as well. Oh, now wait, you’re not stressing about that shiny paint job are you? 😉😁
😄Only a little initially😄
Nice, you are hell of craftsman, thank you for sharing
Awesome work
11:45 COOL 😎😎😎👍👍👍👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙
Its great to see a quality job done using raw talent and imagination.great job.we are spoiled in the states to have mail order parts stores.
Thanks!
Down under Diff we're called "Rev heads". Prop shaft = Tail shaft. Automatic Transmission = Transmission, Manual gearbox = Gearbox. If there are any Ford or Holden parts you need don't hesitate to let me know, I can get what ever you need!
Rev head is a cool name!😀 Thanks for the offer man!
Mr Diff I'm surprised also what a great thing for a guy 2 do for a fella I was hoping you wr gna be able to find something it was looking hard to find but props to the guys who helped you very good and looks like this is gna work very well good job 👍👍👍👍
Pretty awesome guy to build you a new drive shaft and send it out to you. Nice. A propshaft would be for a boat here diff. It's all good we get it glad to see you one step closer to your tear down and paint then the assembly. Looking great as usual take care.
Yes, great guys!
Great job 👍👍
Dear Dif
👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 for having such amazing connections respectively petrolhead companions. 🙌 Hooray! But of course a guy who makes/repairs diffs simply had to help a Dif! 😁 ;-)
Now your impressive contraption it's almost driveable respectively a first test drive seems not far away. No pressure... just sayin'... 😁😜😇
2) In Germany when vehicle/engine enthusiasts are together, we talk Benzin (gasoline/petrol). This special language is known and understood worldwide.
Best regards, luck and especially health to all involved people.
Dear Diff your engineering talent is really impressing me. keep up the good work,
Thanks!
I am from South Africa and your page was recommended by BamBam Frabrications and Fence Posts Rusty Goats from Australia on a live feed they had. I see I have a bit to catch up on and look forward to watch as much as I can.
Howzit Lynton! Thanks for the feedback. Welcome to my shop!
Awesome great to make new friends like this
This is an amazing suspension set up you have built. Keep up the good work.
Thanks
Really nice of your new friend to send a top quality driveshaft. It's coming along nicely. You should be driving it in the near future. Thanks for the video 👍.
Pleasure man. Yes, I'm happy!
Gotta love it when a plan comes together.
