    That Johnny Cash song One Piece At A Time. I like how you put a Cummins in it with a 6 speed! Nice job! 👍 🇺🇲

    Truck turned out awesome! Perty much built my dream truck. 2nd gen, 12 valve, cummins, 6 speed manual, flatbed, dually, brush guard, everything about that really! Even the color, would like a black, grey, or white truck

    Excellent job. Cab lights would look good. Maybe 3rd gen badges. Nevertheless it’s beautiful, I’m sure grandma is very proud. 👍🏻

    Hey Sam i've been watching your video's the past 3 day's. Great! finished Project's on your Dodge Cummins truck's. I'm Subscribed to your channel. My Uncle Owned a Really nice 2nd Gen 1997 100% Stock besides new axle bearings bushings brakes, paint on hood & roof. He bought the truck brand new in Port Alberni British Columbia. I got my license for the second time early this year. I really wanted to buy his truck. Couldn't get it unfortunately. He sold it for $10,000. I got to see the truck only once in my life when i was 12 years old. I got a another cummins story for ya that i will comment on your white 2nd gen truck towing video. Cheers later. Nick from Van Isl. B.C. Canada

    The best thing about old cummins is how simple they are to take apart

    2 years already! How long have I been watching this channel? Seems like last week Alcoa's were bought for the 5500 for hitting 5k subs. Looks great Sam.
