Dane great score on the Great Dane.I started with G.D. in the 70's I use to go to Georgia to pick up trailers and worked on them for many years then became Parts Mgr. So you did it again with the memories.👍👍
Oh man that’s awesome, I may need your expertise on this one 😬👍
That looks awesome blue Jay and that classic reefer trailer combo what great memories that brings back to me and my husband Dan can't wait to see grasshopper when he is done have a nice day Dane your friends from Minnesota 😊
Wayne (Ol2Stroker here on TH-cam) had recently bought a 1984 stainless steel Great Dane reefer trailer that sat at a friend's property and was used as a storage unit for 10 years.
He had said in the last video that he had posted that the trailer was in surprisingly good shape as all of the doors & door hinges are hard to to find replacement parts for as alot of them had either rotted out from sitting out in the elements for 20 to 30 years,or they were scavenged for parts for other classic Great Dane 40' reefer trailer restpration projects to then be put back to work hauling perishable goods.
Him and his friend James had gotten all of the origional incandescant lights to work;and none of the dry rotted tires had blown out on the long drive back to upstate New York.
I'm already deep in getting all the lights to work/replacing wiring. It'll take time but It'll be worth it. What a coincidence we both find one lol.
That Astro and that stainless Great Dane Look GREAT together! I am jealous!!!
it'll look even better with the KW :)
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I can't wait Dane, I had a beautiful 1983 K100 brand new! It was loaded, could have been a show truck! She is long gone, I really miss her!
I hope grasshopper goes through surgery well hopefully a quick recovery lol thanks Dane
Lol…. Me too!!! Wanna cruise in the worst way
I loved seeing the old Thermo King. My Dad was a refer man for a company out of Altoona,Pa. He had a side gig rebuilding those compressors in his basement workshop. Thanks for the memories
Wow now that’s quite a pedigree my friend 😊
Nice truck In ice cream or two and ice trailer
It was great to see Bluejay in action! Congrats on the Great Dane! And I wish you continued success with Grasshopper. It's looking very promising. 😊 🎉
Thank you Michael 😬👍
Dean god.bless.you man
Thank you and you as well. 😬👍
I drove GMC Astro 95 cabovers at my old truck driving school.These trucks were fantastic!
I totally agree. 👍
Nice trailer Dane. 👍😎👍
Living your dreams, good for u buddy.
Hello driver! Appreciate the update on grasshoppa. The reefer trailer looks nice coupled together with blue jay. Always look forward and can't wait for your videos!! Hope all is well for you and Columbo, until next time driver 10-4 I'm gone!
Yes we're well brother, Thank you as always for watching :)
Glad you got that trailer and hope you paint the spokes on that to match blue jay
I may go white but silver right now.
There is never a dull moment on this channel. Thanks Dane.
Thank you Terry I appreciate your watching. :)
Blue jays the only truck that’s stayed at the lounge all the others had a expiration dates
Yes he does, hope to give him some love this winter.
Another good one Dane ! Looking forward to to seeing the new rear clip get grafted on to Grasshopper.
That’s a nice looking trailer you found Dane. Might be interesting in see it run.
Ol 2stroke got a trailer similer to that so this episode broke my brain for a bit lol
Lol, coincidence for sure 😬👍
Nice Refeer unit you got to fix her up unless it’s to much $$$$! Love what you are doing 👍
Looks good as a combo 👍👍👍
That is one good looking ride 😁
Been waiting for this video. The trailers are more $$$ than the trucks!! Lol😂😂 enjoy my friend! Can't wait to see what you do with this gem !
Thanks Russ, I hope to pull it to the Ascendance Show in Youngstown in mid August if possible. Got some fabrication needs first.
So grasshopper is being extended. I am sure it will look killer once done. The trailer is a great addition
Not extended… just a better cutoff suspension.
Good looking trailer! Don't tilt that cab until the new tandem's attached :-)
I won't even touch it lol.
Nice Trailer!!
Great Dane always seemed to pull better
Our local trucking company ran Great Danes and old school Fruehauf trailers until they closed their doors in '99. The best part of having the reefer is air conditioning at the truck shows! Awesome score!
Lol I gotta consider that 😬👍
Wow, how awesome does Blue Jay look with that Great Dane Reefer trailer, what a perfect combo.
There’s only a handful of Great Dane trailers here in Australia.
Grasshopper is coming along nicely and look forward to seeing it rolling down the road pretty soon.
Keep up the good work Dane.
Regards Ray.
Thanks Ray 😬👍
Dane Scott Blue Jay would look good with a polished dump bucket behind him
Definitely, and the reefer behind the KW.
❤❤❤ lovely thankyou 👍👍👍
Reminds me of the 45’ Hobbs or Great Dane stainless steel reefer in Smokey And The Bandit! 😅
👍👍👍
Dane great video love trailer👍
Thanks my friend 😬👍
Break! Break! How about ya Dane you got a copy ? That is a nice Great Dane Trailer with that vintage Thermo King Reefer. I use to pull quite a few box trailers that were Great Dane's back in the day pretty stout trailers💪💪💪, & the last 8.5 years of my driving career I pulled newer trailers that were 53' that were T/K reefer's with a 100 gallon tank ; Man those were so sweet to pull in the snow with all that weight toward the front of the trailer sitting on top of the fifth wheel it was really hard to get stuck in one of those. It was nice to see Sarge.We'll catch ya on the flip side 10-4! I'm a going 10-10.Oh! & it was nice see Blue Jay working even if you were dead heading.
That's a big 10-4 as I was lovin the sight in the mirrors. My hat tipped to ya driver for all your service. :)
Dane, I used to haul axles to Great Danes plant in Savannah, Ga in the seventies and they were known for building some of the strongest trailers made. Owner operators pulling the stainless ones were the class of the highway. Keep that great content coming. PS, Hi Colombo- Bill(Ill bet it wouldn't take much to get that reefer engine running, looking at you, Mr Wizzard, haha)
Thanks Bill, man that’s cool you were right in the middle of it. 😮😊👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Yes you are right, Dane. Those good old days for Owner Operators sometimes were very exciting, especiallywhen a rare, once in a lifetime haul would pop up. In the mid seventies, I got called at the motel in Detroit in the middle of the night (in the winter) and had to rush over to Fords Rouge Plant and pick up one Lincoln Continental frame and drive straight through to Lincoln Assembly in MahWah, Nj I got there before noon the next day, and they immediately sent the yard jockey back with my trailer to be unloaded. The receiver told me they had to have that frame because the factory had mis stamped the serial numbers n the first one. Those were the days. On a Monday morning, in Michigan, our lot would look like it was full of BluJays(Astros) Grasshopper is really coming on strong.
Grasshopper is coming along very nicely. You will soon have a choice of cabovers to put in front of the fancy reefer.
Cool 😎
Nice trailer Dane
Thanks Jim
That old Great Dane Reefer is gonna look awsome behind any one of your tractors.
Unit itself looks similar to the one Twin Stix mocked up for his Smokey and the Bandit trailer.
Great Dane Scott, what have you done. Cool idea ( Reefer pun ) Home wrecker, no more birds LOL!
Oh trust me, how could I resist it? lol
Use to haul Kroger milk and referred to them is Lead Sleds
I always preferred the utility to the newer 2000s great Danes because they were 1200 lbs heavier than the utility which was problematic in Oxnard California when loading Bananas at the Del Monte docks
That looks awesome Dane the refer trailer behind blue Jay what a awesome combination brings back great memories for me and my husband Dan can't wait to see grasshopper when he is done your friends from Minnesota have a great day
Thanks Shelly, we're you two team drivers by chance?
Hopefully Grasshopper will be on the road soon!!
I hear that :)
Dane Scott’s mobile “reefer” lounge at a truck show near you!
Lol, I love that idea! 🤔😬👍
you kept it all on film,under 20 mins....near future subscriber. BTW,my 1st truck-1968 IH co....318 detroit with dual brake pedals.(split between steer column) no jake.
I always try to be brief, peoples time is important. Thank you for watching. I love the 4000 and 4070A cabbys… very cool!
My dad had a trailer like that he sold the unit then we made a tool trailer out of it and I put a basketball goal on the side of it 😅
Lol, now that’s being resourceful! 😬👍
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 How much is your speedometer off? I’m glad you showed the speed app. That is one shiny reefer! Not only a shiny hiny, but also a shiny door on the side! How long was that thing sitting? Those ruts weren’t too bad & the trailer came out rather easily? That’s the way I like it. Did you have someone follow behind you as well? I’ve done that quite a few times with an older trailer & also took a light bar in case we couldn’t get the lights to work right. I imagine by now, the KW is further along. I like the way they cut the frame…quite smooth & at an angle. Good stuff! Hope to see more of it. Blessings my friend! Got an early day tomorrow. 🥰😎✌️
It actually reads 5mph faster than you’re actually going. Trailer sat about 10 years. Needs some fab work but not bad at all. 😬👍
Lookin Fine with that Stainless Dane.. Dane,, between that & Bluejay hooked up what a head turner combination going down the Bog Road or any of your trucks hooked up to it ?? 40 or 42' ?? A quick recovery 🤞🤞 for Grasshopper, as always Safe Travels Dane 👍👍👍👍
Thanks David, I love just staring at the combo and taking me back in time. It's a 42'
a lot better ride when your not bobtailing 👍
Yes it was noticably smoother.
"Reefer Madness" Wasn't that a saying back in the 70's? 🙃
I believe so
Looks great still! How long was it sitting in that field? Was it a meat railer? Just wondered where you find parts, especially for the single circuit relay valves and spring brake only chambers. 😊
At least ten years. I have fabrication to do on the landing gear and the rear door surround but the rest is fine.
Dane, there is a 50 or 60s tractor and trailer sitting in a field in Middlefield. I do not know any thing about it but It does not look in too bad of shape.
Oh???? Any better coordinates? 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE What is your E-mail?
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Dane, this in an Amish community and I don't want a bunch of people there. Do you have an Email I could message you on? I sent you one about it a month ago. the trailer looks like the one in this video.
You wouldn't want that trailer because everyone else would want you to bring the Beer
Lol
That’s Great… Dane, i just started to recreate that great dane model in 3D and now you have it and showed a few shots of that rare to find pictures of that tk reefer unit! May I ask what tk model is that one exact’y and is that a 45 ´ trailer? Love this trailer cannot wait to have replicated in 3D and soon runing on ATS Game too!
It’s a 42’ with the thermoking unit bud.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Nice brother, Thanks for the info, I know it is a thermoking just unsure about the specific model, its an amazing trailer that's for sure
I thought you were going to be able to just change the suspension out and not have to cut the frames either way I know it'll be in safe hands
Ya it was just easier to do the cutoff.
Congratulations on the Great Dane Mr Dane that will look good behind grasshopper or just hook it up to pistol pete and come on down south here and get ya a load of watermelons com'on 🍉 That's a nice wagon
10-fir 10-fir Country man, I’ll just follow the Shaker 😬👍
That is my favorite trailer right there I use to pass the Great Dane plant in Savannah Georgia when they were there and would drool all over my shirt looking over there at them new wagons 10-4
What about the nw indiana aths chapter truck show in valparaiso indiana in late september at sunset hill farms
Send a flyer
I never liked bobtailing too dangerous I had two spin outs in my career bobtailing is not even leagle more than 5 miles we were told that in driving school
Oh I hear ya, Ive had panic stops in all these trucks …… not fun!
