    As a former crewleader for a blast and paint facility at a railyard where we'd strip, spray and re-stencil all kinds of rail cars...I can tell you that 4 hours is not that bad at all for laying down primer on a semi frame, especially considering that youre making due with what you've got and dont have a whole paint facility to work in. Solid work, Matt. 🍻

    Welcome back A weekend without DIESEL CREEK is tough going Nice work on the AUTOCAR
  • @thesteelgator
    Yeah buddy, let's go! Based on the thumbnail, the OSHA Song needs to make an appearance!
  • @pkzanc
    This Autocar is looking better every time.
  • I will be so excited when you get your bridge crane installed and operating. Yesssssss.
  • @Chuck5653
    Bout time you posted. Sheesh, I was going through withdrawal here. FINALLY. You are getting back to the Auto Car. Sheesh. I was hoping you would get it going again before I died of old age. I am already old, so glad to see this.

    Not a Sunday video, what a sweet treat!
  • My dad had Acars hauling coal here in W.V. I was raised riding in them, then driving. It makes me so happy to see you restoring this one! One of the toughest and best-driving trucks hauling coal back in the day. Mack had a tough truck but they didn't drive like an Autocar!

    Love seeing the Autocar getting some fresh lipstick . Great work Matt 👍
  • Anyone ever think they’d hear Diesel Creek say “I need to close the doors quickly to preserve the AC in my shop”? 😂😂😂
  • @marksaddler
    Great to see the progress being made on this, and the other projects in the background Thanks for sharing the whole story with us on this lovely truck.
  • Love laying in bed looking for something to watch before bed and I find a new diesel creek episode 🤠🇦🇺
  • The output shaft for the front diff is made to be unbolted at the 4 bolt retainer and pulled out the back of the axle housing as an assembly. Then you can inspect the output shaft bearing and retainer for wear and install a new seal and gasket. surprised to see someone still has SQHD's rebuilt on the shelf. FYI test fit an axle shaft in both units to make sure they have the same spline count each one, those units were available with two different spline counts for SLHD and SQHD.
  • One of my top videos to watch. Between you and scrappy and a few authors makes my weekend. The old autocar going to look good when your all done.
  • @lenprice6315
    Hey buddy man, I’ve been missing you. Where are you been? I’ve been just sitting around. Waiting. Ain’t had nothing to do all day waiting on one of your videos. Keep up the good work. I’m praying for your community and your part of the world up there around Butler Pennsylvania, I know y’all have had rough time here lately …… Tiny ( Len Price ) Houston MS
  • @brotherbruce
