Your dad smiles everyday when he looks down and sees his son happy, living his best life, and with a girl he’s happy with

This whole comment section is bots.

As emotional as this vidya is, I’m convinced James buys comment bots.

@Constable You need to get off the internet if you think real human interactions are coming from bots. All that gaming and binge watching YT is messing with your mental health.

Restore it back to its former glory. I’d love to see this truck as what your dad saw when he bought it! You’re an incredible human James, and your dad was too. We love you

He said that his mother’s father also owned the same model of a car, not the car itself

@Hyunjun Yoo He said at the beginning that his Grandpa owned it and then his Dad owned it.

As a young dad now I can tell you for sure your dad loved you more than anything else in the world and thats why he was willing to make the sacrifices he did for you. No need to do something crazy with it unless thats just what you want. If it were me I would restore it to a condition that best brings back the memories you and your dad shared in it. I imagine everything from the odd smells, to the sound of the starter, and everything in between bring back memories and emotions from the time you spent together. Let it be a time capsule.

Stock James. It needs to go back to the condition it was when your Dad bought it. I’m so happy for you, and also impressed by the person you are.

We love you Stradman! You taking your emotions out on your videos means so much to me. When he looks down on you he is always happy looking at how far you’ve come. Have a great day James!

James…you create such positive content…but this, this is by far your best…raw, honest, sincere, passionate and full of love…honour your Dad by restoring it to its original state…keep those memories alive, all be them “polished” up…on a side note, next month marks 30yrs since my father passed…I too haven’t stopped missing him…your video moved me to tears…keep on being you, your Dad is smiling at the son he has.

As someone who struggles with a relationship with their father, this video touched my heart. He’s smiling down on you, I promise.

A resto mod build would be awesome!! So happy you were able to find it. Your dads sacrifices paid off in full! You are an incredible, direct example of the impact he had on this world. He’s definitely smiling down on you.

I lost my dad 30 years ago when I was only 5, I still think about how different my life would’ve been if he hadn’t passed away. Watching you get emotional made me emotional, god bless you, Strad. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for that truck.

As everyone else has said more elegantly, we are elated that this was able to come to fruition! An absolutely deserving person and I know for a FACT that you inspired at least someone to do the exact same thing. I personally say return it to perfect working condition, while repairing whatever needs fixing but leaving as much original things intact to keep it as “original” as possible. Whatever you decide to do, your dad is surely happy you’re alive and thriving.

Strad, your father is extremely proud of you every single day and he will always be proud to call you his son. He’s looking down smiling everyday because he’s raised a brilliant man

Man this was absolutely beautiful and so heartwarming Strad, I’m 17 and lost my dad when I was almost 11, I know what you feel, searching and then buying this truck must have been such an amazing thing, the nostalgia and emotional connection must be unreal! SO glad you did what u did and keep being the amazing guy you are, lots of love!! can’t wait to see you restore this beauty!

Man, I’ve seen James have tears in his eyes at two moments on the channel, and just to see that it meant sooooooo much to him, makes all of us feel good about ourselves…
James, you deserve everything that you’ve currently accomplished on the channel. Godspeed
