"I'm kinda bored. I think I'll build a truck in a day out of stuff I have laying around in the yard" If anyone said that to me I'd think they were joking. You sir, are a wizard. Love it. My favorite youtuber.
For the life of me, I don’t understand the turds who down vote these videos. Great work as always. You get more done out in the shop in a week than a lot of us do in a year. Keep up the great content.
haha thanks man!
You tube does that to keep content creators from getting a big head. OR its some f-ed up people. Sorry Y T is some F-ed up people.
@@bigchieftrucker9757 YT can't be bothered, they fuck content creators in other ways. And believe it or not, likes AND dislikes are good for the channel's visibility.
Because they really don't appreciate the car hobby and if they do they don't know what there doing
A guy quits trying if they all go good.
You do in a few hours what most of us take weeks or months to do. Always a pleasure to see the dogs involved.
Super cool old truck. Love the drone footage. Appreciate your time and effort to bring us along.
Having fun is what it’s all about and you and your dog were doing that for sure well done
My mother is Canadian, I remember Merc trucks on my aunt's farm. Love it!
always my fav when you and Pablo go for a check ride,, my best to the both of you.
I love these trucks ... I had a 1950 with a 56 Buick engine and Trans and column..painted flat red and flat black..it was hot rodded in the 60's..I bought it in 1973..thanks for sharing this one..
Definitely sounds like a cool pickup
You're in great looking farm land, thanks for bringing me along.
I love watching you resurrect these old vehicles from the vehicle graveyard and give them new life. Great video!
Just amazing Brent, the things that you get accomplished. Did my heart good seeing you and Pablo cruising around in this truck, had me smiling!
the ear muffs on you and Pablo was awesome, I'm still laughing!
In the words of Steve Miller "gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise up and down the road" 😁✌🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦
@@Pghedges21 Mercury Blues" is a song written by K. C. Douglas and Robert Geddins, and first recorded by Douglas in 1948.
Always love to see the progress on the never ending list of projects. My wife and I really enjoy Pablo and his expressions.
Dammed you can make anything run! Pablo muffs😂
Yeah, that dog is a cool being. Very cool!
Burn-outs + dog kisses always make us laugh!
Good to see it running your dog was enjoying the ride.
The dog cracks me up 😂, wicked video as always 💪🔥
You are a pleasure to watch! A man with a plan, who loves his dogs. Keep being you ‼️
Man that music fit the mood... tooling around the back roads... could envision down in the South... just need different rear wheels to make it perfect...
haha yeah, it did have the stock wheels at one time but have been lost in its travels before I got the truck back.
I can see the happiness on your face, driving around with your dog on a rusty pick up car...that also made me happy. Good job mate.
And again you make it look easy. 🤗
Pablo cracks me up. Totally like my Otis wanting to ride in everything and go everywhere.
Man wakes up...wonders what he's going to do for the day ..so for shits and giggles, he goes and gets an old pickup, puts an engine in it then takes his dog for a run.., yup that sounds about right. Brent there's never a dull day on your channel! You got more going on than most car guys on You tube. 👍👍
Nothing wrong with making something useful out of what you have handy in your own garage. Will not miss your next video. Take care.
The man with his dog with ear muffs on PRICELESS!!
This gentleman is a legend! Proves once you set your mind on something you can get it done! From a rolling shell to a runner. Lost art most people nowadays just trash things and buy new. Awesome videos!
A man that go to any length to get Pablo a ride, that's a man I like.
Never seen a guy start on so many projects, work on them for a few days, and then out the door they go, just to start on another
Makes for great videos, never know whats next
I have definitely been entertained By Brent and his dogs. Keep up the good work folks!!
Awesome truck!!! Used to drive around in one of these when I was a kid. It was my uncle's truck, lots of memories!!!!
Pablo and the ear muffs. Made my day. What a cool dog
Think I'll go out and pull out the Old Mercury truck and worked on it for a day real cool nice to have a collection of vehicles
She a little rough around the edges….lol aren’t we all . I’ve worked on a lot of 48 Thur 52 F-1 and never ever gotten sick of them . I rebuilt a 52 with the 239 flat head about 12 years ago and drive it a lot in the summer and a 50 F1 that was rough ..into a hot rod / rat Rod not quite sure what it is . That at truck will make someone very happy and I’m glad I’m far away from you …no chance of me driving over and bring it home .
Thanks for sharing
Shawn aka Rusty Rods
The ear muffs were great. Got a good laugh.
Got a grin out of me 🐕🦺👍
They are fine old not rusted out
@@davidhamilton7628 z--
Just a guy and his dog having fun, love it. I grew up with one of these trucks, 1948 Ford F1, 6 cylinder std, stick on the floor, green with black fenders. Many is the time we went to town standing up in the back, 18 miles to town and we had fun, I'm still here 74 years later. Thanks for the memories. Hahahahaha
What a great truck for a project. It is almost a daily driver as is.
AWESOME video Got me laughing when pablo started licking your face lol
Very entertaining as all of your videos. The pup enjoyed it too , ear protectors and all. Yes Mercury trucks are Canadian as well as Meteor cars. Thanks for sharing.
Searching Images for '48 Mercury pickup and one sees some absolutely gorgeous restored versions of this truck... It could be really something! You always amaze me!!
I love how you include your dog in the videos. Cool truck!
Another cool episode. I envy the shop. Your work ethic and patience are excellent virtues. Makes for a good life.
Hahahahaha!!! Awesome, Pablo wearing earmuffs and smiling!!!! Hopefully in a year or two... I will have to invite you down to my house in Florida (When I retire) to get my 46 Dodge running!!!!! You are amazing!
I didn't know Merc n Fargo made trucks til I was twenty. I love that you make it like a day at the office 🙏😁👍
Pablo is the dawg!!!
He will ride in anything..
Just so long as he is riding..lol
Halfass, and Jonathan W..
The best channels I have found, on TH-cam.....
Love the dog wearing muffs, you should let him drive. LOL
Earmuffs... you're Killin me dude!
Love the drone footage and you driving in the truck with your dog. That's living.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming love the old truck.
OMG the shot with you and your dog with the ear protection, awesome !!
Don’t have time to watch this one just yet but gave it a thumbs up cause I trust your work🤔😁👍, I’ll watch at work around 2am eastern. But just the look of it deserves a 👍
Hell yea I love my 48 F1. But can't wait to watch this after work !!!
I don't know what it is but that truck just speaks to me. Coooool build.
Even to people that were kids when these were starting to get older still love these my grandfather had a grain truck with a flathead that was like brand new that he sold one time on Christmas day and I remember it sit there idling all throughout supper and it was so smooth then I drove a 53 Ford they had various amounts of compression for years and each cylinder and it run 100 mph
Small block works
I had a 1941 Ford ton and a half with a flathead six one time that was used at the mylan military air Force Base and it had Waltham gauges
I like that grill better than the 52
But I had a 52 F5 stub nose cabover you would have liked to have had and I wish I had it still it was a water tanker vacuum controlled rear end two speed. The high and low lever was on the dashboard next to the choke and you really had to be fast to split shift it and it could be done
Pablo has to be the coolest shop dog on TH-cam! Love the ear muffs, thanks for taking us along for the ride, great drone work!
Even these olders videos define who you are Brent! ❤️👍🙏🙏🙏
I died laughing at the earmuffs! 😂🤣👍🏼
That was a fun project and love the ear muff's too.
What would life be without a dog and a Mercury Pickup !!!!
I had one of them when I was 20, I`m now crowding my seventh decade. I think mine was a 49 merc original flathead 8 with 4speed stick one-ton pick-up. It had the same plywood farmer racks they must have come special order lol. I remember coming home from the hotel, Friday night after work with the boys I worked with., parked the truck, and headed to the outside john for a crap, it was winter time and the snow was deep, finished my job and headed to the house about halfway there the overload of alcohol struck I stumbled and fell down in the deep snow and passed out. At some point in time, my wife came out to check if I was still breathing, went back in the house, and came back out with a quilt and covered me up, Every time I see one of those trucks I think of that, that same woman bless her heart, passed away six years ago, just before our 45th anniversary.
This is why I love channels like yours and coldwarmotors (both canadians!!). There's no old vehicle you can't put together. I mean, damn, dude! You had a truck with no engine, a completely unrelated engine in a shed, which you completed with letfover parts, in a couple of days, and you made a shifter and an gas pedal and away you went! Amazing!
Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
You Sir, are something else, the dog belongs to the scenes. You changes engines just if it is nothing, just having breakfest also the pictures from the drone ate super!
That's why you see so many rods with Chevy engines , they are almost a universal fit for any Chevy engine 6 cylinder and V8 all of them the parts are so interchangeable it's a shame forward didn't do that and I love FORD'S too
I CAN JUST SEE THE LOOK ON SOME FUTURE MECHANIC,S FACE IN 30 TO 40 YEARS WORKING ON ONE OF YOUR CREATIONS AND THINKING WOW THIS GUY REALLY KNEW HIS STUFF
haha dought that
That's a cool truck.. great job 👍👍🇨🇱
You love Pablo so much, it’s a beautiful thing to see.
Brent You're 1 Down to Earth Guy For Dang Sure and You n Pablo Wearing Earmuffs Was CLASSIC n HIM Giving YOU Those "THANKS DAD" KISSES MELTED MY HEART Buddy... Thanks For Sharing Your Love and Fun n Have a Blessed Week !!!
You make changing engines as easy as changing your shoes. Thanks for sharing.
You get some of the best rides! That was a record build great job !
I'm my days off, I binge watch this channel all day, better than Netflix
Thank you for saving these old pieces. Keep up the good work. From West Haven, CT.
Nice truck!!!
Pablo's moonshine runner 😊😊😊😊 hi guys from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Ear muffs brilliant .... keep it up ....new Zealand 🇳🇿
You have a great attitude and positivity. I guess those are vital when working with old cars.
I busted up when I saw Pablo with earmuffs does Pablo steer the Drone also hahaha cool videos thanks for making them I'll keep watching
Well , that dog was a giggle and I love that truck
I enjoy watching someone put a batch of junk together and make a vehicle! Thanks; the music is good too.
Love that you are putting them back on the road. Keep up the good work.
Mega like.
Its a Mercury..
Beautiful triming.
Amazed how you put it together that fast.
Got the knowledge!
Thanks for sharing it.
Lot of learning.
Mega like!
That brings back some memories. My first hot rod was a 48 ford pickup truck. Pulled the flat head and installed a ford 390 4 speed from a 66 fairlane gt. I was 19 yrs old then. Many hot rods later I am 70 years old now and working on a 48 Mercury coupe.
Brent, did i just see you dust of the intake to see the chevy firing order ...lol , looks like a chevy impala shifter that i need ... now i know why you bring Pablo for rides, he's the drone pilot ...lol
"Think I'll buy me a Mercury, move it on down the road"
Great truck!! I put a Lincoln 460/C6 and 9” in my ‘48 Ford F1. Awesome to see ya take it out for a boot around the yard. Keep up the great work!! Pablo is a trooper too, had me laughing!!
Top man . Love your vids . And isn't it just amazing to see life still being put into these old machines . Get my thumbs up any day 😊 .
Two goofs with earmuffs is classic 🤣🤣🤣 Appreciate the content & all your hard work.
DOG buddy kisses while driving a cool old Mercury. How good does it get... great job!
I love that old truck. Reminds me of doing that in the past.
Brent, you consistently have the best videos on TH-cam. Thank you so much for all your efforts!
Thanks Chris!
I love to revisit these older videos, it just amazes me how much stuff you have laying around that you can piece together such a cool project in a short time, still say you've got the best dog on utube, it's obvious he loves spending time with you and I pray you have many many more years to enjoy such loyal company, people just don't realize how much they care and how much we miss them when they're gone
💯♥️ This is my favorite channel. About the only reason I could think of to come to Canada. Lol
Lots of old trucks up here!
That Merc truck is growing on me. Chevy powered & has to be rare. I am 55 & have to say, that's the first Merc truck i've ever seen. & i've been to many a car show as my dad & uncle were car nuts. Awesome
Love the logic....."It turns over, so it's gotta run!!!!" lol :)
Got to love the ear muff twins in the old Merc...
Good one, BBR&T, "ear muff twins" . Love it! They're not identical twins, though, I can tell 'em apart.
@@stephenandloriyoung5716 😁😁😁😉
i love that dog,,,hes so cool
Man I love the front end on those trucks! Gonna be kewl as hell!
Cool truck, very cool dog ! Your cool as well !!! Great vidios !
Awesome fixin', shop, scenery and dawg - best videos
Pablo with the ear muffs 👌. That dog is awesome
Love these videos. It's like hanging out with an old friend that's too cool to care. Keep them coming!
I love the customized ear muffs For Pablo lol! I've been around cars most of my life my dad had a 48 Ford pick up with a 383 out of a police interceptor, a push button automatic out of a Crown Imperial and a 9" Out of a 69 Mercury cyclone 390. And it was painted Canary yellow. When you put that truck together brought back memories.
To replicate those "waunky" sides today would blow the budget on this this build! Wait til lumber prices come down a little bit Brent, they're good for another season!
