Hello from Michigan and the Buckin' Army!
Hey Mark! Welcome thank you for watching!
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR You were recommended by Buckin Billy so I'll take a look and spread the word! Take care and be Safe!
Sounds like a plan👍 Glad you enjoy it thanks for subscribing and spreading the word!
Thats one sweet rig you all scored.
Thanks Tory can not wait to upload the will it run episode on this piece of history!
Buckin sent me your way! Nice old Merc! You reminded me of all the roadside/parking lot fixing I've done over the years!
Thats awesome Andrew! Thank you for watching subscribing and commenting!
Blessed that spring popped with an empty trailer! That truck is fricken bad abs!!
Yes I was very grateful that we got lucky on that spring! Who knows how long its been close to snapping! Thanks for watching man👌
I am going insane! I need a Mercury version but in the M1 package
Well the border opens on the 8th and we actually know where a clean M1 is my friend:)
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR Keep me posted!
You bet👍
That's a very cool truck! Some great scenery on that drive.
Yup it sure was! Thanks for watching !
Even if you don't restore it as is, that cab could make a mean car hauler!
Yup depends on how good she runs might get a cummins……..
Not sure what the outcome for this old girl will be? Im guessing when we get it going then figure it out:)
Good to see you guys out doing videos again
Glad to be out! Thank you for your support! We are working on something to give back to our members very soon! THANK YOU!
It is great to be out again we are stoked!!
You got that right Bob Oh!
Buck billy sent me over. Looking like my kind of place. Be safe and be careful
Thank you Kevin! Happy to have you my friend! We will stay safe brother👍
How does a leaf spring break with no weight on it?
Lack of maintenance my friend lol
Metal Fatigue that trailer has over 200k on it. Honestly I think it was broken before we left on this trip I just did not do a pre-trip which Is a HUGE mistake on my part! I am lucky it did not cause a bigger problem! Also that I did a pre trip on day 2! Thanks for watching Mex Spec!
Luke has had some good luck Finding a really nice 51 Mercury M5 truck Epic road trip he's got an awesome tow truck to get it with plenty of grip Through wide open spaces and the mountainous places Horse power is good but it's torque that wins races! Adventures are never uneventful but Luke never gets resentful The trailers got a broken leaf spring but to Luke with his tools it ain't no big thing Even a flat won't get Luke in a flap Coastal Auto Reaction is the heart of the action testing the limits of traction
Thank you kindly. I very much appreciate your support my friend!
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR It's the least I can do when you've given me your adventure to view Waow those landscapes how could you ever feel blue and the truck you found looks very solid too!
I am super stoked you enjoy the content tons of adventures to come my friend:) Thank you for your great comments and watching and subscribing! Be sure to go through all our videos you will enjoy them!
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR I'll be rhyming every time I see one of your vids I like it when you do burnouts and skids
Nice!!! That is wicked!
She's got character. I'd leave the paint as is and just rebuild the box. Awesome video. :)
Thank you! Also thank you for all you do!
Cool old truck! Gonna convert it to a pickup? Handy that it has that meat smoker (after minor conversion) under the hood so you can use the exhaust for some road food ;)
Not exactly sure tbh depends on how good it runs? Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Nice truck
Yup shes a sweetheart!
Thanks again King Erik for all your support!
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR happy to do it.
Got yourselves a nice old truck. Enjoyed the scenery. Saskatchewan is as far west as I've gone. One of these days I'll have to get to the Rockies.
If you have not Drivin through that area you are missing out:) Thanks for watching Dave👍
Thank you for watching our adventures everyone.
Thank you for being Bob Oh!
Buck'n Billy sent me. I'm glad he did. You have a new subscriber from Florida. Yon can call me David
Happy to have ya David! Thanks for Subscribing commenting and watching!
When that truck was new and shiny red and black it must have been stunning.
Yup I can picture the Farmer showing it off!
Great video, nice find. Looking forward to the will it run
Me too she has not run since 75! But she spins over nice!
Thanks Roy it will be good I am sure!
Damn that's a long way to drive for an old grain truck, but it's nice to see the bigger trucks getting saved instead of going to the baler. Those things are everywhere in Sk, some of them are even still in use as water trucks. What are the plans for it besides getting it running? Seems like it would be fun to drive around as is and hold up traffic haha.
It was worth it:) Being a Mercury M5 (also was very cheap) We will be putting out a part 2 as well on whether or not we get it running:) She only has 26,000 original miles too:)
I was surprised that it was in such great shape seeing age it was.
Only has 26,000 miles rarely if ever left the farm id say:)
@@CoastalAutoReactionCAR yeah I believe it! Most rarely left the farm and never got winter driven, plus the high center of gravity and dry prarie climate really help to preserve things. I'll be looking forward to part two!
Yes sir👍 Thanks for watching!
Cool old truck. Great footage of the mountains. Keep up the GREAT work!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! The will it run episode is much more involved:)
Thanks Mooseman we are gaining momentum thanks to viewers like you!
The drive is epic yes!
Sweet great video love the vibe! Keep it up! How do I become a Member btw? Looking good Easy pounds comin off hey bud!

You never can tell what we are gonna do next:)
Is this recent? Snow already? Wow winter comes early in Canadia
Just in the higher elevations and yup its recent what you see on the channel is about 3 weeks prior:)
If princess Auto really does have the ubolts in stock Tighten them until they break off put new ones on either way they're breaking off if you tighten it you have to turn it less
Yup I ended up breaking them all thought that clip was in there lol my bad. But yup you are 100% Rodney👍 Princess had everything we needed👍
