. This old Chevy truck was parked decades ago and never touched again. The cows did a number on it, but I think the sheet metal is still savable. I hope you enjoy! Keep checking back because you never know what hidden rusty treasure I’ll find next!

I want to clarify that cutting up is not the same as scrapping. If a scrapper bought this truck they would not have to cut anything. By cutting it up I would be able to find new homes for much of the truck and only have to scrap the frame. That is by far the most profitable option, and unless someone steps up to buy the whole truck, that is what will happen this spring.

No no no , these trucks need to wholly be saved totally 💯, the only thing that makes sense , is to put them like they are back on the road with up graded engines and motor home 10 or 8 lug donor parts on the oem frames, like I said earlier, only if they are 💯 % rust bucks , will it ever be the best idea to cut anything off or from these trucks loll, thanks please please please stop scraping/cutting up any part of ol trucks and cars ok, thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏 love ya brother, love you channel. Thanks BigAl.

I would be rally surprised if somebody didn't wan that whole truck, intact, for a complete restoration. That is truly amazing. You've hit on a bunch of great old vehicles lately, and a few that aren't so great, but this will probably wash off a lot better than it looks. I'm guessing the majority of that crud is from pigeons roosting overhead. Wear a respirator mask before you start pitching that animal nesting and waste out the doors! Great find, Silas.

That old barn was built before hay was baled. You can tell by the loft door and the way the roof has the jut out. The metal rail that ran the length of the barn had a trolley with a grab that could be lowered into the loose hay and would close and a clump of hay would be pulled up to the rail and moved into the barn. That is why lots of times you find wooden blocks in barns with metal rollers so the ropes could be attached and have ropes to lift the metal clamp up and down. I have never seen one used but the metal beam they ran on are sometimes left in the roof of the loft. Lots of the trolleys and an occasional grab used to be in antique stores.

@williambransome388 2 жыл бұрын

Yep what you say is true. I was an "orphan" in the Milton Hershey School class of 1973. (K through 12). We had 45 dairy farms. At that time we were transitioning from loose hay to bailed hay. Most of those barns had that same setup (loose hay). Some were bank barns and some had stone foundations. We provided the milk to the factory in town. (Hershey foods). Super clean milking operation. Got to keep that bacteria count down. Lots of hard work....no time for playing around. Safe clean student homes super supportive staff. Excellent education hot food my own clean bed my own new clothes. 50 years later I'm still grateful. So thanks for the memories. Happy New year to you and your crew. Front clip and cab I get it. Been doing the same all my life. Sell the good and recycle the scrap. Makes perfect sense and I don't hate the dreamers. If you know you know. And if you don't know oh well keep dreaming. For example I can get maybe $100 for a good Walnut pump organ from Victorian times. But I can gut it out and convert it into a desk, sell the stops.(little white handles with some words about music) and then give a shabby Chic paint job. 5 hours max and then sell it for a few hundred. Like you said nobody wants it one and a half ton maybe they would give $300 maybe. Clip and cab? I estimate Kansas or Texas price 12 to $1,500 for the two. Oh yeah and then sell the scrap for another 300. Your stuff is familiar to me and it's interesting. For my favorite aspect to your channel is your humility and decency. More valuable than gold and diamond. Thanks for your effort Silas. Your filming and editing they're getting better and better.

@tripler3724 2 жыл бұрын

As a young man in the 60s, I would work on various farms hauling hay etc., our school even had a recognized "cotton picking vacation" and that was the only times those old trucks left the barns. They had "farm tags" and were used until inspections made them impracticable to use and they weren't worth selling, so they just got parked. Driven many you had to find a solid place to rest your feet as you watched the open road through where the floor use to be.

It's a Chevrolet AK Series. The range of uses for this series was actually quite large given that it was a versatile design. Aside from being built as flatbeds/dumpers like this one, they were also built as pickups, 2nd gen suburbans, cabovers, and even buses. You can tell the difference of a Chevrolet model from a GMC CC or EC Series by the design of the grill. The Chevrolets had verticle grill bars, while the GMCs had horizontal ones. The design is relatively simple, but this is still one of my favorite American truck models. Great video. I'm sure the truck will look even better when it is power washed and has the dents hammered out.

If it is a 1941 then yes there are differences. The most obvious one is that the ones made after WW2 started had cut off front fenders. I would have to look it up but it wouldn't surprise me if those year chevys are more uncommon as it seems like all I ever see are 1946's. When these were new they had 3 paint schemes: red, dark green or blue, all with black fenders. It may not be as popular as the cars and pickups but there are definitely people that collect the bigger trucks. Advertise in the right places.

Great barn find silas. I'm building a 1941-half ton pick up now. I have three of these old trucks. They are really cool old trucks. That one would make a really cool old wrecker/rollback. I have a good friend that made a wrecker out of a 46 ton an a half truck an it is awesome. Awesome old truck. I deal with these trucks all the time. I buy an sale parts from 1939-1946 Chevy trucks, all parts from 39-46 Interchange pretty much. If you were to part it out, just in the cab an front end parts would bring you around 2500-5000. Take the time an look them up on eBay. I buy an sale them all the time. Again a great barn find for sure. Have a great first week Into the new year.😁👍👍

I've seen a few of those trucks completely restored or turned into beautiful hot rods that were at the yearly Frog Follies here in Evansville, Indiana. People from many states bring their customized hot rods of cars and trucks from the 30s, 40s, and 50s to the county 4H center to show off their street rods. Several trucks like this exact same truck were either restored or turned into rods. The potential for your barn find is such that I hope someone buys it to restore or to turn into a beautiful street rod.
