1949 GMC & 359 Peterbilt EXHD

In this video Regina and I are hauling a 1949 GMC 350 of the Advance Design Series which has been in our family for decades. Dad bought this truck from Union Oil in 1969 and removed the cargo tank which was on the chassis, he then transferred the tank onto a brand new cab and chassis. I subsequently inherited the retired 1949 GMC and began driving it around the farm when I was seven years old. Later, someone eventually stole several parts off the engine and the truck sat dormant for 40 some years. In 2018 I decided to make the truck run again in honor of Dad's memory. This little chassis truck isn't much to write home about but I've always had a place in my heart for the old piece and I use it as a billboard truck at the end of most of my videos now. We will record more footage of this truck in the future:
I custom ordered the 1984 Peterbilt and worked the truck for 39 years within the construction industry here in Alaska. The truck is equipped with a 400 Cummins Big Cam III and 13 X 4 transmissions. Having recently retired, I now operate the truck as a glorified toy hauler and RV: Thanks for watching, and Keep'em Rolling!! #peterbilt #359 #exhd #aerodyne #oldschool
