This YouTuber was cruising through the roads of Utah looking for junk cars he could collect, but instead found a custom truck that he built seven years ago.

He lives far from Utah, so the appearance was quite a shocker for him.

It was a custom 6×6 truck, which was unique in its own way and unlike anything else you would normally see.

While hunting for old junk, he found old treasure.

YouTuber randomly found a custom truck he built in Utah

YouTuber Dave Sparks posted a video on his channel HeavyDSparks, where he was driving an empty semi-truck in Utah.

He was there to find antique vehicles he could get from people who no longer needed them.

Why is that, you ask?

Sparks is an enthusiast, so he was out there finding something worth restoring — or at least something that he could use for his other projects.

Anyhow, he spotted a weird truck sitting in someone’s backyard and decided to pull over.

He managed to call the truck’s owner and told him where he was.

Not long after, he was reunited with the custom truck he had built in 2016.

As far as modifications go, this was no ordinary vehicle.

Not your everyday monster truck

While building this thing, Sparks extended the wheelbase and ‘merged’ an entire trailer on its back.

That’s right, the trailer and the truck were one — making for a unique vehicle.

However, Sparks wanted to work on it again since he remembered he didn’t finish it off perfectly.

After the owner of the custom truck was obliged to send it to Spark’s workshop, the YouTuber loaded it on his semi-truck and drove off.

Now, the custom truck had been sitting in one place for a long time and wasn’t running.

Although it seemed serious, a simple battery cable replacement got it working again.

Moreover, Sparks mentioned that he would give the custom truck a do-over and might even buy it back depending on how much he likes it.
