My uncle Richard bought a 42 back in the 1980s from my grandparents neighbors in Missoula MT. He drove my Mother and her Sister around to the car wash and then over to the Moose Lodge. They wound up 3 sheets to the wind driving that truck all over town. He brought the truck back to Ca. and worked on it for 3 years. It was absolutely beautiful red over black and chromed to the hills.. He said it took him three years because the chrome strips on the grill took 3 years to locate them all.. My mother is gone now but I still recall the smile and laugh she had when they all talked about that day driving the old Dodge around town. Thanks for the throwback it made me smile!

I’m Canadian. I’ve. Never. Seen. This. Year. Dodge. Truck until. I watched. This. Video. Thanks

sad face. poor baby. poor old girl. thanks for rescuing it man. ur awesome. I am in love with dodge everything.

I love that you're getting these old timers out of the woods and back on the road. I used to look at the "finished" cars and show cars, but love the rats best now. I drive 3 of them. Thanks for your videos!

In the beginning looks like a nice 57 chevy worth saving too love the cars you save and bring back to life

Thanks for taking us along JW. Yep don't do that trick much with alluminum bed.😀.

My first ride was a 39 Dodge half ton flatbed! Brings back memories, love your efforts!

I know I'd be carrying a chain saw and a gas powered weedeater with me on all these kind of car rescues. It'd make life a whole lot easier!

Like the Mopar 1941 to 1947 are the Nice ones Hope to see more on your truck thanks eh ✌

I love the way you pull stuff out of the bushes...you know your snatch block inside out!!!! Beautiful score Jon!!!!!

The 4 strakes on the rear fenders are worth the price of admission. Cool ride!

Life is good when you can find stuff like this . You call it rough you need to come up north to see rough ...just kidding great find I believe your part magician you keep pulling great stuff out of your hat or in your case woods .

Man! I have been looking for one of those for years too!

One of my. Favorite. Videos. Of. Yours. First time. Ever. Seeing one. So. Cool. Was. Like. Your. First. Thanks ❤❤❤❤

its a thing of beauty!!

That chain trick is awesome.

Pretty rough!!! Ya my thoughts exactly, but I have confidence in you. Still watching.

very sweet project truck and keeper!

always enjoy your vids. can't wait till the next one

I believe I would carry a chain saw to cut away some of the saplings that are in your way on a lot of the rescues you make.

👍👌👏 another great old iron saved from the crusher.

Learned a bit about snatch block placement. Thanks. Great truck hope you find parts neede

Way cool truck! lots of work but all doable!

Great save! My first vehicle was a 39 Dodge 1/2 ton.

love ur projects..keep it going bud . I LIKE IT. !!!

Nice truck Johnboy can't wait to see what you do to it keep the video coming in.

Neat, it reminds me of 1963impala2dr's Rat rod build.

Thanks for the content ) waiting on the next video )

Seems hard to find Dodges and IHC trucks anymore. Worth saving it.Nice job! PS I put a second pulley in front of winch to keep cable centered on drum when pulling at angle.

well Johnboy I see you got Your truck you wanted can't Wait until that truck is done

that truck has a great look,

That is a cool looking truck. Doors are going to need a expert to get them fixed up.

nice pickup truck nice project

I can't wait til ya start this also.

The 1940 Dodge 1963impala2dr has and i remember that front end he had in front of his shop. But you sure do know how to work that wrecker to get stuff out of the roughest places

Nice job and great truck. That snatch block is worth it's weight in gold.

Nice video , Thumbs up.

Awesome!

That's a nice find, but I wonder how much of the body and frame are salvageable, and how difficult it will be to find replacement body and frame components/fasteners? I'd imagine that you'd need entirely new axles, suspension as well. But that would give you an opportunity to replace the original suspension and axles with much newer stuff from a donor vehicle or parts catalog, to turn it into a great handling street machine.

It looks good 👍

Muy buen trabajo,🤘🍺💪👍

North Carolina is a haven for old vehicles would love that dodge truck would be real cool with a modern frame and about a 500 horse 440 you sure have a honey hole good for you it’s a good thing for snatch blocks do you not have a regular wrecker even one with a wheel lift only on a one ton them fenders are nice that truck is really pretty good shape it’s not as rough the doors up can make some skins for that it’s a beautiful style I love that old truck the good is the fenders on the back the box looks pretty good along with running boards not that bad I’ve seen you do miracles with worse nice find

Lots of cool old car and truck videos Jonathan. Thanks for posting them. I'm trying to figure out where you are located. I haven't watched nearly all of them, so if you said I missed it.

I'm your huckleberry....thats a cool truck

we has a 41 and a 47 one was for parts and we used the other one, not sure which was which, we actually also has an old Plymouth pickup, that was the only one I ever saw way back then, it was not runnable. . you might ought to get one of those little cordless chainsaws if you are going to be getting many out of the bursh.

Make time is right. You got enough projects to last two lifetimes! You sure get to do some cool stuff though.

old iron never dies.

Don't change a thing ....great fun here ...

man that truck would make a great ratrod !and the Patina on it too ! I think that would be fun maybe that other perkins would be a great engine in that or that 361BB ???

slicker then owl snot !

woot love me some old trucks

cool......keep it up

Yes sir my kind of stuff wish more people wanted ta save this old iron this stuff had class not just a bunch of aluminum thanks for the video take care :)

What, No First Start in this video??? Darn and so much potential. She'll run dammit.

wow you are good. FINS UP 👍 👍

Don't you just love those old military snatch blocks? So much easier and quicker to use than the screw type. Plus they're so overbiult. Makes them weigh a ton.

I have a '41 with a 318 swapped into it. This one has to be made before '47. 1947's have vent windows. Which I believe is the only difference. I need a front leaf for my front axle. Can't locate one anywhere at the moment. I'm in NC if you have any leads...

Did this have a positive ground electrical system?

looks like a good project .. full time job fixing n selling old cars n trucks

yep cool truck

You use RockAuto a lot. Do you recommend for rebuilt carbs?

You are a master at grabbing cars and trucks out of the worst places. Thanks for sharing.....wonder what they're doing with the chevy cars there?

I hope you do a video of the finished product.

Sure is handy havin a bone yard when it comes to buildin projects.

Jonathan W are you making any money from these trucks once Fixed up?

Jonathon, 1963chevyimpala2dr here on you tube has a front clip looks the same but not for sure what year it is also not sure if he plans to keep it or if he would let it go. worth asking ya never know. take care friend.

Hope you keep this one..

I was gonna say that was close to the 1940 Dodge

It's a beautiful thing...a man and his rollback. I would be havin' fun too if I had one of those! How about a first start in 50 years? ✌😂😂

That new big block you got would probably look pretty good in that truck..... Just saying 😀

1939 to 1947 Dodge WC... I have a 46... the WC stands for weapons carrier...

I just hate to see these old vehicles just sitting and rotting away. And have been rotting for many years. So sad.

Got the makings of a purdy girl there... but, I don't think she'll light off with the first bump of the key.

Any plans to get the rest of the cars/trucks there?

love to see that rat rod...

Who owns all the property you're rescuing all these rides from? Are they just abandoned? Are you paying for these or just taking them? Really enjoy your channel.

what's the plan for a new drive train?

I’m lookin for one like this

Same cabs on the wm300

does it run good?

WHERE ARE THE OTHER CARS IN THIS VIDEO? ...ARE THEY FOR SALE?

🖒🖒

1963 impala 2 dr has the front end in front of his shop ,,, maybe a swap is in order?

I was at a show where someone had a '45. Apparently the trucks went into production before passenger cars, and they were allotted to governments and special needs purchases. Sadly, it had been rodded.

That truck needs the drive train out of old newport ya got,..Keep her all MOPAR!! Would sound nice with that BIG BLOCK!!

Prolly be good for some parts.

Hey Jonathan ... can ya beat this...I got my girl friend watching now....say you're a pretty smart one...LOL

Hey, Jonathan I have a vision for your truck. Go out and get a '56 Cadillac cut it in half. Then replace the truck bed with the ass-end of the car.

Jonathan would like like to speak with you about parts, thanks!

nice one out of the trees nice MOPAR

Modern advertising music drives me nuts...

Classic frog eyed Dodge

I know where one of these sits or sat near Rustburg Va nice looking truck but dout for sale family owned

I need a rat rod body or cab lol I want to do a jeep rod

what about a title? THAT THE BIGGEST THING if not have to use it for parts

Your slowing down Jonathan, you need more projects to work on.

Maybe I watch too many of these clips but America seems like a vast open air junkyard.

On a farm

if you get a better camera, You will have a lot of subs in no time!!!!!!!!! :)

Pre war tell 47
