This 1988 Ford wrecker tow truck has been neglected for many years. I took the owners word that it "ran when parked" and rolled the dice paying $2000 to buy it. Let's see if we can get it running/driving again.

The irony of a truck meant for abandoned vehicle removal becoming the abandoned vehicle getting removed

I’m genuinely convinced you’re a genius. This is insane to watch

Most people can't record a video of a stationary object without shaking all over the place. You fall off the hood of a truck backwards and remain in frame the whole time. Respect.

NNKH is my absolute favorite channel to watch. No over excessive talking. He gets straight to the point on what he's doing. I learn a lot from you Keep up the amazing work man 👍

That guy got a sweet deal on that wrecker at $2500. Great channel with excellent content and common sense knowledge about many mechanical issues and solutions.

open up youtube after a hard friday at work, and there's an hour long NNKH video about an old wrecker hidden in a bush. Oh gigidy, let me get a beer and make myself comfortable

I found NNKH back in 2020 when me and my 1 year old son was looking for something to watch especially b/c my son LOVES working on cars. He is now 4 and this channel is his all time favorite!!

Chris you are a competent mechanic to be sure, but what separates your videos is that you are an awesome content creator and editor. The right camera or drone shot in the right place, the right speed to catch things up. Even when you say it is all over the place with the video content, it is very entertaining to watch. This was an hour video that felt like 15mins.
Continued success to you and Jen.

11:30 that’s why I like to watch this, the “F-it!” mentality is entertaining to watch

Between the c30, the rollback, and now the super duty, I’ve gained an obsession with spotting old wreckers in need of TLC now

He found a suitable buyer, Someone who appreciates the truck's history, take it to the next level, and can make a fair to lucrative incentive.

I have been doing this kind of work since the late 80's, 88/89 and I made a C-Clamp for what you used the ball joint press for, and I would have never thought of using that for that, but I will say that is a great idea for doing that. I have been using my old C-Clamp that I cut the end off of and welded a socket on the screw for a gun or big ratchet! Had it ever since say 91/92 thanks for sharing that today I will use the press on the bigger ones instead of struggling sometimes with the old faithful one I made years ago. Happy Boating.

Removing an abandoned vehicle that has abandoned vehicle removal painted on the side! I love it.

I don’t know a thing about cars and I absolutely love this channel. Not only is it so fun to watch the process of you bringing something back to life, you also have such a phenomenal explanatory cadence. Hearing your thought process and easygoing attitude is both very educating and relaxing. Keep it up! :)
