Epic TRANSFORMATION of This 1975 Truck | Fitting The Cab on to The Restored Bedford Chassis …

#59 - Three and a half years ago we removed the faded red cab from the old Bedford chassis of our 1975 truck, gave it a pretty extensive makeover and painted it, ummm, brown. And this week, at long last, we are reuniting it with the fully restored chassis, which means, finally, we all get to see what we’ve long been waiting for … A truck. An actual, real truck. Restored. Rebuilt. And complete … well, almost … it’s still missing some doors, a few panels, a couple of windows … So anyway, first things first … and there is a fair bit of prepping to do, like getting the cab safely strapped and padded and ready to be winched several feet into the air above a concrete floor … not that we were nervous. No, not nervous at all. Everything is going to go perfectly. We hope. We are Lisa and Tim and soon, we are going to be building a house on wheels on the back of this Bedford truck, but for now, you are joining us in our workshop on a really big day as we put cab and chassis back together again where they belong … … SUPPORT US: • Patreon:   / oldropesalvage   • Buy Tim A Tea: https://buymeacoffee.com/oldropesalvage FOLLOW US: • Website: http://www.oldropesalvage.co.uk​​ • Facebook:   / oldropesalvage   • Instagram:   / oldropesalvage   • Playlist 'A New Home on Vintage Wheels' for every video of the build from the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ISU1... … This channel is the story of us, Tim & Lisa, and our attempt to build the World's Greatest HOUSE-on-WHEELS and go anywhere Expedition Truck, on the World's Smallest Budget ... A unique motorhome, if you like, part vintage 70s, part off road overlander, all tiny home on wheels. We are 2 'old enough to know better' artists from Cornwall in the UK, and together we are building this off-grid home on wheels from the remains of a 1975 Bedford Firetruck. We bought the truck on eBay at the end of 2020 and had it delivered by an even bigger truck to a huge, old barn-on-a-farm we are renting to use as our workshop whilst we undertake this challenge. Well, several YEARS and a few set backs later, we’re currently in the process of ‘lovingly’ restoring the base vehicle, taking the whole thing apart, piece by rusty piece, so we can make it all new and shiny again, before we embark on the even bigger task of building a home on its back out of nothing more than grit, imagination, sweat, tears and possibly a bit of magic and wishful thinking!
