WARNING: LONG POST AND FOR A DARN GOOD REASON: WHAAAAAAATTT???? That was my father in laws Truck who gave it to my wife not long before he died! I took the Grey Hound bus to St. Petersburg FL to get that truck and drove it back up to Greensboro, NC where we lived. We had that truck until we were forced to sell it in Murfreesboro, NC! WOW!!!!!! I am blown away!!!!!! Can't wait until my wife sees this video!!!! We sold it around 2011 when we had to move to Colorado looking for work. We are now in Missouri near St. Louis. What a shock to see this truck! My Father in Law, Edward F. Silvia (1941-2009) , an Army Sargent retired, had this work done on this truck. He bought it new and slowly did all this mural and glass etching of eagles. He drove it to Rhode Island and back to St. Petersburg every year for many years. He also wired up a lot of stuff (CB radio, running lights, fog lights, extra tail lights, running board lights, etc) and got to the point where we couldn't run the truck anymore due to such heavy rewiring of lights and radios and other things (as you noticed). So we were forced to sell it seeing we had to leave the state and couldn't afford to rebuild it. When my daughter was 3, she started calling it "Trucky". Sad to see it go, but glad to see "Trucky" is still out there and someone rewired it and brought it back to life!!!! Ed Silvia would be pleased. Where you see the vertical rust next to the door is where a lighted assist handle was put on (both sides). One of the many electrical add-on's Ed put on the truck. Also missing are the five teardrop shaped running lights over the windshield. Those rainguards were on when we got the truck. BTW, all that sticky substance was hard to clean, it was very dirty when we got the truck! Also missing, spare wheel cover with airbrushed Eagle. (We may still have that in storage). Also missing, eagle painted rug and hood liner, not sure where those are. Now I'll have to be honest here, I do not remember the hand drawn ram on the back of the driver seat! Maybe my wife (Gwin) does. The rear bumper showing spots and holes where lighting used to be (14:10), were lighted when we sold it. Apparently a lot has been removed to resolve wiring issues. Also missing is the huge chrome grill guard on the front (probably stolen when it was sitting). We may have pictures somewhere of the truck in its full glory before all these things were removed and it was still running good, if so, I'll post them here for you (it will be a while, not sure where they are). Yes, I remember the broken rain guard on the passenger side, which is why we didn't reinstall them. That is not its first trip to car shows. This truck won many awards over the years Ed Silvia had the truck (I saw the awards at his house in Florida). The new owner said he bought it for $600, which is about right, we had a huge yard sale. Like I wrote, we had to move out of town and had to sell it. It was an honor to see it done like this and it was the first vehicle in your new studio! Edward Silvia would have been pleased. Oh...an overhead carpeted box inside the cab with more wiring and where the CB Radio lived, that is missing too. UPDATE: Wife and daughter saw it, got really emotional! The reason I don't remember the hand drawn Rams on the seats is because we had those "indian weave" seat covers. The Truck was sold to someone else first, then they left it sit to rot, NOT US!
Wow Boyd, heck of a back story mate. I share your sentimentality. It's such a special thing to be able to see it like this and having Larry weave his magic over it. Nice to see it was rescued and preserved. You guys should meet up with Larry and the new owner someday if that's possible. That would be a great video.
No it's not strange that you find it more interesting to look at a old Dodge with mural graphics on it, rather than a super expensive European supercar. It's very rare to see mural vehicles in today's time, and is much more common to see European supercar, although the supercars are not seen often, but a old Dodge with mural graphics is much much rarer to see, especially one in this good condition. Back in the 80's and 90's ( I believe in the 70's as well ) when mural vehicles were very popular and loved, it was like it was much ahead of it's time. 70's had the wood grain looking panels too, usually the sides, but other panels too.
One thing that separates you from the youtube DIY detailers is your professionalism. I feel like you are truly knowledgeable about your craft and really give good answers to “why” things are done way they are and not just showing us “how” things are done using the same vanilla time lapsed content. Please keep up the good work and stay safe! Edit: changed the wording as I was not trying to infer Larry is a DIYer. He’s clearly a pro and the best of the best!
This is what separates you Larry from the rest: with your passion and love for cars and detailing, you manage to wake up and inspire everyone watching you, to do what they love. Is it cleaning, washing, detailing, polishing or similar car activity... THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE AMAZING CONTENT COMING #AMMONYC
I love that you appreciate cars like this and take the time to give them a proper second life. A lot of folks would poke fun or turn their nose up at a project like this but you embrace it as if it were a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
This is what separates the likes of stauffer's garage and the detail geek from ammo nyc. Everyone can clean but Larry's technicality on the paint alone really proves he is a top notch detailer bar none. Thanks for awesome content Larry
I remember being a kid in the 90's living out in Montana and seeing those cool Mural Trucks out on the road. This is the first time I've seen one in a long time. Someone should dress up the new Bronco like this. I bet it would look amazing.
@@mort7987 Yeah, I know they would love it over here. It would be really cool to see everyone smile as you drove by. :) You could probably sell that thing for pretty good money over here if you could get it to pass TUV, which might be a big task in this case given the rust issues.
Airbrushed cars are by far nothing a generic German wants to see on the streets, I fear. Too 80's mullet &mustache. Especially this, overdone, "freedom patriotic stench". Might get not the kind of attention you'd expect. For the car itself, the normal person would give a thumbs up, the paintjob? Na, we don't like sis!😂
@@DonryuRaiden The cheesiness of this particular car I think would win a lot of people over. There would of course be people who couldn't handle it, but by and large, I think people would get it. Of course, a lot of their impression might also be dependent on the person behind the wheel. If I rocked a mullet (would require more hair than I currently possess) and some Oakley Blades and a Metallica shirt with the sleeves cut off etc, it might be a bit different though :). Bottom line though, it would definitely get a reaction.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it's amazing at how much a detail can change a car. I too started on the detailing path (thanks to you) and worked on an old, fading farm truck. I dont have the level of materials or expertise as you do, but it also turned from a dull disgusting red to a shiny brilliant red and completely changed the persona of the truck. It also made me realize the process and work that goes in to truly make these cars shine and I have gained much respect for you
the detail geek has that too and while he is just as passionate and also is just as eloquent a narrator, he does not have the level of commercial professionalism the ammo has.
This video seemed really personal. As someone not really into cars I watch it for your knowledge, professionalism but most importantly satisfaction of cleaning and restoring 😻
I thought he was busy with that project and that is why he did not post new videos. I knew he was working on his new studio, but I really thought it was the cars in the storage he was doing videos on.
Your new place is beautiful, Larry. I was really looking forward to the hexagon lights and I’m seeing them for the first time and they’re amazing! 🧼🚙💨✨
That deserved saving! I used to hand letter, pinstripe, and do occasional airbrush art on cars, trucks, boats, and snowmobiles but nothing this extensive and amazing. A lot of work went into this, I can assure you. Art like this was a big thing on conversion vans as well. Love watching you Larry!
I just giggled and giggled and giggled... that truck is so awesome, I can't believe anyone would let it rot for a decade instead of driving it around for all to behold. It goes so far past tacky and into awesomeness, that was a really good save.
This is probably one of my favorite videos you've ever done. Taking an obnoxious, run-of-the-mill vehicle that thousands of people have had in the 80's and 90's, and doing a professional detail on it. I'd love to see more of these videos where daily drivers and econoboxes get a professional detail. Maybe a USPS LLV would get done too?
I very much enjoy observing people who have spent so much time developing a certain skill set and you may be the most classic example of that on TH-cam. Your approach, analytical breakdown, and ability to clearly communicate it to the world is the unparalleled. Keep up the outstanding work and know that a segment of the viewing population views you as more than “just a detailer”.
When I was in my late teens early 20's I worked at a car lot in Florida, I seem to recall seeing a similar if not the same truck one day as a trade in. Clearwater Toyota 1998 or 1999
I find it super refreshing seeing you extracting carpets with a cheaper extractor when I'm seeing other people using 1800+ extractors. As I am looking forward to start detailing cars. Currently in korea just doing a lot of research and can't wait to start building experience. Also your classes were great I loved them all and so knowledgeable. I wish you and the ammo team the best of luck! Keep up the great work/tutorials!!!!
Larry, what a great video. I LOVE to see these old cars brought back to "real world" life. While I like your high end stuff, I really enjoy seeing daily drivers detailed. Thanks for sharing this cool thing you did for your buddies.
The floor is most likely slightly angled to let the water run down, with the drain grill at the bottom end of the floor, just before the garage door opens.
Larry is on another level compared to the other detailers I have seen. Not saying others guys don't do a good job but I can tell he has car care down to a science. I love how he has a plan A,B and C depending on the condition and type of paint he is working with. I wonder if he ever thought of doing seminars now that he has the new place? I bet there would be a ton of people interested in learning some of his techniques in person.
I'm not a detailer and currently don't have a car, but ammo really has helped me through good and bad times, relaxing and thoughtful videos. Really learnt a lot and I've tried to pass the knowledge on. Can't wait to get a car again to start the process and learn and grow! 🙌❤️
I love these old restoration videos, there's something really special about seeing these vehicles get some love. This one in particular was really cool to watch, I love the old mural!
That was so crazy. That's my uncle's truck! I always wondered what happened to it. Looks awesome. And yes that truck was up and down the east coast many times!
I currently own the truck and would love to talk. Contact me at the email in the video if you would like. Really would like to know more about the truck.
I really love your videos, not because it is awesome to see you restore junky cars to cleaner cars. But also because of your thoughtfulness and mindset about the whole process. This is what I call the craftmaster mindset, those who understand what tools, when, how, and why, and where, and to best apply each to the right situation. I commend you, you clearly are a top professional, and thank you for sharing your videos. It always gives me food for thought.
I love ALL the videos... But, this one, makes me smile!!!! So nice to see a diferent car being cleaned... Not a expensive, not a hyper, not a jewel with wheels... But a diferent car... I like it so much...
Of all the ‘found or reclaimed’ autos you have rescued this one is very special. Again they found the guy with the best skills for the job, excellent work Larry!
What I like about your channel is you take the really unusual, the unloved, the curiosities and do the very best job of it you can. I've learnt so much more that way, thank you. Loving the studio too, that vacuum is sick.
Your videos are already teaching me a lot and making me feel more confident about detailing so thank you! I've been job hunting and there are a lot of car detailing type jobs around here so I'm kind of teaching myself how to do it from your tutorials.
Cleaning this mural will definitely make or break a professional. Larry, I am beyond impressed with how well this turned out. Your skill level has been increased by several orders of magnitude after tackling this! This is a prime example of why I subscribed. Very Well Done.
Hats off to you Larry, considering all your projects going on in the background clearly! You still make a video look and feel so quick, clean and easy. I wish you were in the UK!
Awesome video thanks for sharing. I started to watch this video way back when. I got uninterrupted and could not finish it. I'm pleased I ran across it again and got to watch it. It's a great job and video. Stay well and safe my friend.
FINALLY! Here’s a vehicle that doesn’t look new and “perfect” after. I’ve been watching you from the beginning and I’ve learned SOOO much, but I’ve done a few old cars that I couldn’t reset to factory perfect and it hurt a little (;)).
That is probably the prettiest vehicle I've ever seen. I don't even know if you can get murals painted on vehicles like that anymore, and I'm sure it was expensive back in the 90s.
I drove an old Ramcharger during my late teens and early twenties. Great truck and one of the few vehicles I've ever owned I regret selling. Got it for $2000 with one owner and 50k on the odometer.

Sure, but why the f run the pressure washer indoors???
Tour video hopefully?

Damn Canadians.

Ha ha literally wth
I thought it was mountains
@Crotch Banister Try Bakhour and use it. I am arabian and we use it always also it is the smoke fragrance from the oud trees.
Is it strange that I find it more interesting to watch you detail an old dodge than watch you detail a $500,000 super car?

Used to be a lot of vans with big murals like this. Those were the days.
I don’t think there are many people who could recover this and keep the murals intact - a true master of your craft 👍👍👍👍👍
This truck isn't my taste, But I can surely appreciate how cool this truck really is 😊
Whoever had that truck must have really loved the outdoors. That's a really interesting and cool mural, definitely deserves to be saved!
Am I the only one hearing James Pumphrey (Donut Media) chanting “Ram Charger!”?

My uncle is a very good artist in they nicknamed him gotee in 1978 he was the one that did this paint job years ago
send my regard to your uncle please.
Sorry, but I highly doubt that.
no ur lieing
Liar this car is from the late 90s not 1978
Bonnie Nelson he could’ve been just because he got his name in 1978 doest mean thats when he did it and thats a early 90s suv
As an American currently living in Germany, I must admit I am somewhat obsessed with the idea of driving that thing around over here now. :)
Most people would love it! (I certainly would, we mostly see European and Japanese cars on out streets)
@@mort7987 Yeah, I know they would love it over here. It would be really cool to see everyone smile as you drove by. :) You could probably sell that thing for pretty good money over here if you could get it to pass TUV, which might be a big task in this case given the rust issues.
Airbrushed cars are by far nothing a generic German wants to see on the streets, I fear. Too 80's mullet &mustache. Especially this, overdone, "freedom patriotic stench".

I've only seen big Commercial trucks painted up like this in the UK on occasion.
There's something to appreciate about a restored patina look that shows the care put into the car without betraying the long life it's lived.
Complete opposite of what I thought we would see in the new studio first. And I love it!!!
I remember seeing this truck in the early 2000’s here in VA. I’m loving this!

Jonathan Wyatt 😂😂
The meme machine

Lmaooo 😂🤣
I love detailing! It's very relaxing and therapeutic to me. When it's finished, that feeling of accomplishment is awesome.
Still waiting for you to detail some more cars from the super car barn - like the 288 gto
I thought he was busy with that project and that is why he did not post new videos. I knew he was working on his new studio, but I really thought it was the cars in the storage he was doing videos on.
The owner has changed his mind. No more videos/press on his collection. Quite baffling.
@@AMMO-NYC that is too bad. It was nice seeing those vehicles.
Carole Baskin realized the ammo-attention caused too many collection sales - shrinkage never a job guarantee 😔
Was thinking to ask this exact same thing. Bummer!
I was sure you were going to trick us and the mural was going to wash off!
Unfortunately not.
that baby just needs a good shot of clear coat, the patina is aged to perfection for a 70-80's mural style paint job
It's a perfect time capsule of a grandpa of that ear.
Agreed
When it comes to cars detailing AMMO NYC is the TOP of the Mountain. It is a joy and satisfaction to watch this gentlemen cleaning super dirty cars.
How could someone let such a beautifully painted car that was once the pride and joy of the owner get into such a mess.
I have nothing to do with detailing or cars, but I find this channel super gratifying to watch as the cars get cleaned.
Your new place is beautiful, Larry. I was really looking forward to the hexagon lights and I’m seeing them for the first time and they’re amazing! 🧼🚙💨✨
That car is mind boggling, old dodges always catch my eye and that paint job is so unique
I was up at the Chrysler Carlisle show and saw this!!
Way cool,👍👍
So was I, i recognize the pfp

I finally get 20 minutes to check this out without interruptions!!! AMAZING work Larry!!!! Beautiful!!
Fred fungus and Alice algae took a lichen to each other.

I love how you don’t click bait. You show actually dirty cars with extremely dirty interiors.. not just dirty glove box’s and gross cup holders
When you think your an elite Detailer and then see Larry pull a vacuum hose out of a wall 🤣 love it 🎨
such wow I neeeeeeeed lol
Next Level Auto Detail DOH!
There is nothing better and relaxing to watch something dirty and disgusting become clean and beautiful!
That was so satisfying to watch that transformation! That Ramcharger is awesome!! And your new studio is amazing! 👌🏼

Imagine if Ram brought back this version of the Charger. You’d have the Bronco, Wrangler, and Ram
And chevy had to drop the ball with the new Blazer
Erick Sanchez yea they definitely blew it
I bet they do it.

wow, at one time, somebody invested A LOT of money into that truck, I wonder if it was a "Promo" vehicle??
Floridaman drove it to Colorado to attract tourists.
Looking at the age of the vehicle, it was just the thing to do to personalise it-make it your own.
that car is literally a work of art
I see Ram Chargers, I like automatically. It’s a bonus that it’s a great video!

Larry, what a great video. I LOVE to see these old cars brought back to "real world" life. While I like your high end stuff, I really enjoy seeing daily drivers detailed. Thanks for sharing this cool thing you did for your buddies.
Dropped everything I was doing for this.
Cheese and crackers and everything!
Thanks for the video. I'm happy to see some people taking responsibility and wearing their masks during these difficult times.
Studio is looking amazing! Where does the water run off when you wash?
The floor is most likely slightly angled to let the water run down, with the drain grill at the bottom end of the floor, just before the garage door opens.
Larry is on another level compared to the other detailers I have seen. Not saying others guys don't do a good job but I can tell he has car care down to a science. I love how he has a plan A,B and C depending on the condition and type of paint he is working with. I wonder if he ever thought of doing seminars now that he has the new place? I bet there would be a ton of people interested in learning some of his techniques in person.
this looks like it was owned by someone's uncle who lives on an indian reservation :)
I have a 86 dodge ramcharger and man I love this paint job hopefully it can get some touch up work or just cleat coat it thick 🥰
That thing looks like a big ass pack of cheap cigarettes 😂
That car should be in a museum!! What a piece of art!
This baby is gorgeous it definitely needs hydraulics and a full gold plated engine bay plus slammed on some 12 rims.
No god no 🤣
OMG THAT PAINT THO
I could never get into car detailing because I am just not that commited to precision but holy f I could watch and listen to Larry for hours..
I'm not a detailer and currently don't have a car, but ammo really has helped me through good and bad times, relaxing and thoughtful videos. Really learnt a lot and I've tried to pass the knowledge on. Can't wait to get a car again to start the process and learn and grow! 🙌❤️
Crazy project! The new shop looks incredible. Can’t wait for a tour of the finished build.
I love these old restoration videos, there's something really special about seeing these vehicles get some love. This one in particular was really cool to watch, I love the old mural!
That was so crazy. That's my uncle's truck! I always wondered what happened to it. Looks awesome. And yes that truck was up and down the east coast many times!
I currently own the truck and would love to talk. Contact me at the email in the video if you would like. Really would like to know more about the truck.
Usually your vids are already pristine 6 figure super cars, but I think this vid above all others spotlights you're abilities and products 👍
Fantastic job, you’re definitely the best restorer/finisher I’ve ever seen. 👍✌️😎
I really love your videos, not because it is awesome to see you restore junky cars to cleaner cars. But also because of your thoughtfulness and mindset about the whole process. This is what I call the craftmaster mindset, those who understand what tools, when, how, and why, and where, and to best apply each to the right situation. I commend you, you clearly are a top professional, and thank you for sharing your videos. It always gives me food for thought.
Im a detailer and watching your videos is inspiring and helpful but these old car detailing videos are so satisfying to watch amazing job
I love ALL the videos... But, this one, makes me smile!!!! So nice to see a diferent car being cleaned... Not a expensive, not a hyper, not a jewel with wheels... But a diferent car... I like it so much...
Of all the ‘found or reclaimed’ autos you have rescued this one is very special. Again they found the guy with the best skills for the job, excellent work Larry!
What I like about your channel is you take the really unusual, the unloved, the curiosities and do the very best job of it you can. I've learnt so much more that way, thank you. Loving the studio too, that vacuum is sick.
If this isn't a testament to your skill and your products, nothing is. Fantastic job!!!!
Your videos are already teaching me a lot and making me feel more confident about detailing so thank you! I've been job hunting and there are a lot of car detailing type jobs around here so I'm kind of teaching myself how to do it from your tutorials.
I love the background music idk why but it just makes me feel nostalgic for some reason
Cleaning this mural will definitely make or break a professional. Larry, I am beyond impressed with how well this turned out. Your skill level has been increased by several orders of magnitude after tackling this! This is a prime example of why I subscribed. Very Well Done.
I admire the dedication to have the floors done but not vacuum it first!
Viewer from the UK been watching you for years happy to see the consistent uploads
Passion for detailing is What drives Larry simply the Best in the Detailing industry 👍💪😷🎉🎉🎉
Hats off to you Larry, considering all your projects going on in the background clearly! You still make a video look and feel so quick, clean and easy. I wish you were in the UK!
Imagine driving this across country, camping out in the back and visiting all the national parks? That would be a GREAT vacation to me. Well done!!
pretty cool dropping lichen knowledge. Lichen is also a very good indicator of air quality. (lots of lichen= good air.)
That Ram is *MAGNIFICENT!*
" look at my new pinstrips"
Boss level music starts and this truck rolls out :"you were not prepared..."
Awesome video thanks for sharing. I started to watch this video way back when. I got uninterrupted and could not finish it. I'm pleased I ran across it again and got to watch it. It's a great job and video. Stay well and safe my friend.
FINALLY! Here’s a vehicle that doesn’t look new and “perfect” after. I’ve been watching you from the beginning and I’ve learned SOOO much, but I’ve done a few old cars that I couldn’t reset to factory perfect and it hurt a little (;)).
Your Mercedes video is my all time favorite. Please find another one like that!! So satisfying
Love the video! I've got an '81 Ram and I love seeing this Mopar getting quality care. Congrats on the beautiful studio, too.
The art on that vehicle is stunning.
I didn't even notice the video was 20 minutes long...so passionate 🙌🙌
That is probably the prettiest vehicle I've ever seen. I don't even know if you can get murals painted on vehicles like that anymore, and I'm sure it was expensive back in the 90s.
Wow, when i heard the sneeze i told my wife ( Bless you! ) then realized it wasn't her😂
I drove an old Ramcharger during my late teens and early twenties. Great truck and one of the few vehicles I've ever owned I regret selling. Got it for $2000 with one owner and 50k on the odometer.
