We're missing you in AZ this week, Steve. You're my favorite part of the show. It's not the same without you dropping knowledge on us about all the cars crossing the block.
Thank God you are still with us Steve! I felt like a good friend moved away while you were our of action. I believe your entire fan base felt a similar way. Happy to know you're on the road to recovery. Take all the time you need to get back to doing what you love and what you do best. God bless you for teaching us so much
"Until next time my friend, hasta Magnante." So glad you're back! A big shout out to Rick Debruhl and Tyler Hoover. True friends for sure. Total respect to all.
Hi Steve - great to see you mentally sharp and recovering! A couple of years ago, I was struck with a rare and deadly form of pancreatitis and damn near died. Came home barely able to move. I eventually recovered to my normal activity levels, but it took a full 2 years to completely recover all my strength and balance. Be patient, hang in there and follow your therapist's advice. As soon as you can get up, get movin', and live your life! Good luck!
Hi Steve! Glad to see you are on the road to recovery. When you are strong enough, you should do a podcast and tell us how did you accumulate so much information about every segment of the automotive universe. Thank you for sharing it with us. Get well soon.
Another day with you hopefully getting closer to returning the yard. As said last time: Yes, most commercial truck shops and tire shops have tire cages for mounting tires because if that thing gets loose, whoa Nelley, you're going to be launched like a rocket. I was next to a trailer about 2 years ago on my way to work in slow bumper to bumper traffic. All of a sudden, I hear a tremendous bang and feel like a truck hit me. I pull over and the trailer tire is smoking. It was rubbing on the trailer frame and blew out. The force of it (since I was next to the trailer in traffic) was like someone beating on my back passenger door with a hammer from the violent force of the air leaving the tire. The driver and I pulled over and I told him what had happened. He was clueless. LOL.
I always enjoy watching Steve’s videos and I learn a lot too. I also include encourage my friends to do the same. Sometimes I also turn on as many as eight or 10 of his videos and run them simultaneously with mute down. Just help Steve.❤
Good to see you getting stronger Steve, Enjoy seeing some past episodes some that l missed , keep up the therapy and you will be back crawling through the junkyard again like you always say it's also a class room !!!👍
Steve, I am very glad that you are on the road to recovery! I cannot imagine what you and your family have been going through. However, I can understand (somewhat) going through physical therapy. I, myself, am currently going through physical therapy. In my case, I'm having to retrain the nerves and muscles in my right leg, so that I can walk correctly again.
My Best Wishes to you for a full recovery. In my case both of my pinky fingers are now clenched and the joints stiff. I'm doing finger / joint exercises to HOPEFULLY restore function. Its going to be a while. Here's hoping you are restored to full health soon. -Steve Magnante
Awesome. I tried to tell a guy that the bigger trucks had torsion bars suspension. He didn’t believe me. Lol Great information Steve 👍 Great to know for sure. Even the GMC trucks had torsion bars 👍
Thanks, Steve. Great to have the daily dose again. Hope you're doing well. I noticed the laminated safety glass for the driver side window and now I'm wondering when they changed over to tempered glass.
That footage of the guy blowing off the tire is incredible.. reminded me of of the films our autoshop teacher would show us on safety... one was called Eddie's eye ! All about safety glasses .. class or 82 where were you! Get well Steve
I never thought I would be the guy correcting Steve, but @3:38 when he shows the picture of an LCF (low cab forward) right hand picture you can clearly see that the truck he is standing beside is clearly not a LCF. On an LCF truck all the body pieces are different the doors, hood and fenders. In everyone of Steve videos I always learn something, like I had not seen torsion bar on a 5 ton before 👍🏻🙌🏼👊🏼
Memories! That hole in the floorboard of the '57 was for the floor starter. This 57 had the radio delete. Ours had no radio, heater or turn signals. As I recall, we added the outside mirrors.
Budd wheels have dual tapered lug nuts, but Motor Wheels (they look like Budds, a steel disc wheel) used single flanged lug nuts that sandwiched the duals together. Motor wheels are hub centric. GM offered Motor Wheels on GMCs along side Budd and Dayton (hub spoke) wheels in the 1950s.
Praise the Lord you're still with us but still praying for you, Steve 🙏 I drove Chevy P30 1 tons for 18 years and the rear dually wheels were just pinched together.
I had a 62 Chevy C50 or 60 I don't remember with the independent torsion bar suspension and it definitely rode a whole lot better it was a grain truck. It had the last of the stove bolt Chevys in it 6 cylinder it was tired and worn when I got it but it was still very serviceable.
Steve, the fact that you have, in numerous videos, drawn our attention the the “widow maker” wheels, could you consider making a video about how to properly assemble air air them up when you get up and running again? Not that I’m in any danger of going out looking for an old 5-ton truck to rebuild, but you’ve got me curious now. Anyway, continue to recover and get your strength back. And if its cold outside, any advise on model building would be fascinating.
It looks like your very not fun weight loss method worked well, glad to see you are getting better. One of the mods for the 70s Mopars with torsion rod front suspensions is to add a custom coil spring suspension that works better. Most new vehicles have McPherson struts up front to lower the cost, double wishbone like a Miata works better but costs more.
I actually worked in a fleet garage back in the 80s, a gentleman lost his life to one of them blowing up. They had a safety cage to put the tire in when you were blowing it up and I don’t think he was using it.
Love these videos. Always struck me as strange that the idea of twisting a spring steal bar like torsion bars came before using compression type springs. I'm certainly not expert but it just seems like a much more complicated solution the the later option. I'm sure it probably came down to cost of production. One day I'll have to look up a evolution and differences between both. I know torsion bars were used in many applications for a long time.
Those are ball-stud, or Budd, wheels. For those under 50 working with them for the first time, the outer nut has to overlap the inner stud. If not, they are prone to shearing the inner nut, and you can say goodbye to your outer wheel. Also, antisieze is your friend. ALWAYS put antisieze, or grease, on the threads and the face of the nuts, every time, especially with aluminum wheels. Hub-pilot wheels center on the hub rather than the lugnut, and are held on by a single lugnut on each stud. The lugnut also has a captive washer, the mating surfaces between nut and washer are machined to reduce friction, to get more clamping force with less torque.
All ways love watching your videos great information and you sure your not stepping out of you and doing some of the videos cause the same shirt and blue Jean out fit sure looks like it familiar to me lol 😂😂
My god man where do you find all these books!! I have never seen one like that. Crazy Steve. How do you find these things? I mean this is a real truck and that’s the first thing gone. Impressive. Ooo good luck getting better.
Thank GOD you're still with us!! Every day you'll get stronger, you'll see!
Steve ain't going nowhere!
Except home when he's better 😁
👍🏻🇦🇺
Steve is looking better and stronger with each post!
We're missing you in AZ this week, Steve. You're my favorite part of the show. It's not the same without you dropping knowledge on us about all the cars crossing the block.
We're all pulling for you Steve. Hope to see you back in the Junkyard soon
That's a 10-4 (big trucks )

The only channel where I always learn something new.
Take care of yourself Steve.

And don't skip the ads. Every bit helps!
The flashback video of the "widow maker" in action 🎬 👌 was priceless!!!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
WOW! You are correct!
Thanks for posting more automotive history Steve
The only videos that I watch every day. You’da man Steve.
Very good to see you Steve. Glad you are getting better. I have missed you.
Always interesting
Good to see you getting stronger Steve,
Enjoy seeing some past episodes some that l missed , keep up the therapy and you will be back crawling through the junkyard again like you always say it's also a class room !!!👍
Get well soon Steve. We enjoy your channel very much.
Glad to see "new" stuff from you in my feed every day.
I bet Steve has the greatest automotive library!
Thank you so much for allowing us the tid bits of information. You have been missed buddy.
Always enjoy these,pick up something new, that didn't see the first time
Steve you have more knowledge in your pinky finger than most of us have in our noggin. Amazing what you know
You come back tomorrow makes my day. Surprises me every time i see you now. Get well soon Mags
Steve, I am very glad that you are on the road to recovery!
I cannot imagine what you and your family have been going through.

@@SteveMagnante thanks
Keep it up Steve. We miss you!
I hope your recovery is progressing well!! Get well and we will see you soon!! Thank you for the great video as always!!
Only Steve can make a pile of scrap metal sound interesting.
I'm glad you are feeling better Steve!
I think I committed on every this last week. Just any steve is awesome
Thanks for helping with the junkyard crawl withdrawal.
Awesome. I tried to tell a guy that the bigger trucks had torsion bars suspension. He didn’t believe me. Lol
Great information Steve 👍
Great to know for sure. Even the GMC trucks had torsion bars 👍
Yup, and as Steve said my '01 S-10 4x4 has fronts which I get to deal with when I replace my lower arms soon...
I see prayers where answered
Thanks, Steve. Great to have the daily dose again. Hope you're doing well.
I noticed the laminated safety glass for the driver side window and now I'm wondering when they changed over to tempered glass.
Great video as always! Can’t wait to see you again on the junkyard crawl Steve! But first get well!❤️🩹🙏
That footage of the guy blowing off the tire is incredible.. reminded me of of the films our autoshop teacher would show us on safety... one was called Eddie's eye ! All about safety glasses .. class or 82 where were you! Get well Steve
I'm assuming / hoping that was a dummy at the end of that clip GO STEVE !

I like to watch these at 2x speed so I can watch more of them in less time.
Am I the only one that wishes they could save every one of these vehicles?
No, you're not.
Brother Steve ! Glad to know ur doing better . See you soon !
Good to see you up and about! Watching Junkyard Gold as I type this, and I hope to see more soon!
Glad you are doing better brother! Praise God! Can't wait for you to be back!!!😊
Here to up your comment count 👊
I like the “power bulge” hood on the 57😁👍👍
Thanks Steve! Get well soon!!
Good day Mags. Cheers 🇨🇦
Thank you,Steve. Be well ❤
Love your channel! That poor dude probably did not survive that ring incident.
Love this stuff! Thank you Steve!
Knowledge from steve makes me smile with vin and special features of each kind of cars and trucks.
A few of the larger '56 and '57 9000 and 10000 series Chevy trucks used a heavy duty version of the 322 Buick Nailhead V-8.
Always good to see ya Steve.
Memories! That hole in the floorboard of the '57 was for the floor starter. This 57 had the radio delete. Ours had no radio, heater or turn signals. As I recall, we added the outside mirrors.
Keep them coming Steve get well brother
Interesting looking trucks ,love the look of them both..
Another great video! Get well soon!
👍 your stuff is evergreen! Always well done, and interesting…

Good video Steve
my father had a 70 ford f350 rack body with those rims, i remember mechanics always saying they hated em.
Thank you Steve
Get well Steve.....!!!!
🍀Right on Steve you look great🤨✌️
That design. Proved. To be. Very. Flexible
Keep up the progress Mags ! ✊🏼⛽️🍕🍺
Thanks for sharing
My favorite truck years❤
The DOGLEG for the windshield on them was last used in 1963 and was gone in 1964 -- not continuing until 1967 as stated
❤🤓
I actually worked in a fleet garage back in the 80s, a gentleman lost his life to one of them blowing up. They had a safety cage to put the tire in when you were blowing it up and I don’t think he was using it.
Miss you and the dog 🐕
Tremendous steve.

I wasn't thinking I guess. Yeah in model tt and earlier vehicles did use leaf style springs. Probably a durability thing.
Those are ball-stud, or Budd, wheels. For those under 50 working with them for the first time, the outer nut has to overlap the inner stud. If not, they are prone to shearing the inner nut, and you can say goodbye to your outer wheel.

KEEP EM COMING
All ways love watching your videos great information and you sure your not stepping out of you and doing some of the videos cause the same shirt and blue Jean out fit sure looks like it familiar to me lol 😂😂
man, always educational!
Still rocking the algorithm Steve.
Beast mode
Later model duals were pinched together on one stud….my 1999 P30 from example.🤓
Wow they put those 348s in the trucks as well!
Can you please get back to work Steve. Barrett Jackson is t the same without you. God speed Buddy..!!
GMC massive V-6 double to the crazy V-12 engine torque monsters
👍🏻🇦🇺keep on trucking Steve .
Hey Steve!
Bamm! Listening to the add at the start of the vid, SMASHING that "Like" button b4 it even starts.
👍
My god man where do you find all these books!! I have never seen one like that. Crazy Steve. How do you find these things? I mean this is a real truck and that’s the first thing gone. Impressive. Ooo good luck getting better.
Starting in the 90s trucks use single lug nuts.
I could be wrong but I don't think a '57 truck would have a 348. As far as I know, those didn't show up till '58.
