The owner of that old dog must still love it, it's kept in great shape. A lot of newer trucks regardless of the brand, aren't kept as clean as that one.

I found this. A guy named Ben posted this. "OK I was just messaging back-and-forth with Brad Wike. The guy that built the most accurate real replica of the Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth. He said the truck is not coffee brown, it is black. It was painted to match the Trans Am. He had even confirmed it when he built his replica from the guy that painted the original trailer."
i thought that tire looked flat when you pulled it off the truck. I bet videoing this stuff has helped you with a customer before if they didn't believe you.
Didn't think that nail was ever gonna end. Award winning inside tire camera work. Top-notch. 👍👍
Did anybody notice how Wes handled that tire during install? Man handled that thing like it was nothing! Even made rocks fly off the tread 🤣
After 30 plus years on the bench myself, I can certainly relate to your daily struggles. I live in the province of Alberta up north and we don't have any rust issues like the eastern provinces or states. As far as patience, you're right up there with Job. Love your videos and sense of humor. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make them. And may you make retirement and enjoy it as much as I do.
Come on Wes Part 2 chop chop lol. I was looking for part two until my Homer Doh! Moment. Hmm only posted 6 hours ago…. There’s your problem lady 😂
"Here at the Watch Wes Work Bermuda Triangle of Repairs, nothing's ever that simple." 😂 😂 😂
I live in a rural agricultural area, my local Napa wouldn’t even flinch if you asked for a 9/16 fine thread nut. They would just ask how many you wanted.
Maintaining old trucks is like painting a bridge as soon as you finish you have to start all over again.

Wes, just some feedback, I hardly ever notice the truck traffic noise.
“Bermuda triangle of repairs” 😂. Pure WWW gold.
When the block of wood came out I thought I had been switched to the Pakistani Truck channel. :)
I don’t know how you can get out of bed every morning. That’s some back breaking work. Great video.
Bermuda Triangle and the universal tools had me rolling. This makes me not miss working on Army trucks.
Don’t worry about the truck noise, it doesn’t bother me. But what I really appreciate most is your running commentary… Sometimes hilarious, always informative, always interesting.

The only thing wrong with that truck is they stopped building them. Love your channel bud. It's refreshing to see that someone else has the same luck as I do.
