The level of controlled optimism, sarcasm and humble honesty is what makes this channel so watchable and enjoyable!

Nice catch on the brake-fluid getting sucked into the intake! Most people wouldn't have figured that out for a long time.

"Directly into... all over the engine" - James, your humour cracks me up every time. Who ever thought I'd get an abdominal workout watching rusty old truck repairs..?!!

Thank you KZfaq for bring me to this masterpiece of a channel!!

So rare to find one of those with the smokescreen feature still intact.

Give a nice day coming to cutmans

I love your positive attitude. You got Smokey Joe running!

I'm very envious of that Dodge dump truck of yours! 😁 I've got a hand full of old 4x4's. Internationals and a Ford. I've never even seen an older Dodge 4x4 in my area that was heavier than 1/2 ton. Cool truck! Nice job with getting it running again. Take care 🔧

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I drove one like that in the early 70s on a job. It had the old 318 poly engine and a massive transmission, granny low and 2wd. What a torque monster!

Finally a truck that can pass an emissions check!

You have some of the best luck in getting this equipment and trucks to start and run, it amazing. Never would of thought of the brake fluid being sucked back into the engine. Your good 👍

we absolutely need to see more of this truck.

I like the boat tank. It’s very nostalgic for me, I grew up on a dirt road island, all our vehicles eventually ended up with a boat tank on the roof. When you went up a steep hill you just had to squeeze the in-line primer bulb. Which was easily accessible because both the doors and the hood had been removed for safety.

A spout to pour gas directly into all over the engine, priceless,

So enjoyable. Love your narration, electrical, mechanical skills and innovation

45. That's my magic number. I love anything with a top speed around 45. That implies a 1-2 barrel carb, a straight 6 or worn out v8 (6's don't wear out, EVER), maybe even points. power nothing (breaks, steering, windows, etc)

I'm not a Dodge guy, but they still look they were making a 'real' truck in the '70s Good job! +1 on the Mosquito fogging feature.

I love your sense of humor, absolutely amazing to see that truck start and drive after sitting for only God knows how long. Have fun wrangling tires 😂👍☮️🇺🇲

Be sure to chock the bed with a 4x4 (stick it in between the bed and the rail at the hinge point) before sticking a body part in there. I had a co-worker lose a hand when he hit the wrong lever. We would hate to lose you so early in your production career.

"Directly into... all over the engine". Perfect!

Now that's a Dodge I'd be proud to own ! In the early 90's I drove an early 70's F-250 Tall Boy that had a dumping wooden stake bed and was set up a lot like this Dodge with a divorced transfer case and PTO for the dump. At idle in Granny low it would pull a landscape trailer with two commercial 52 inch walking behinds, a Bolens tractor, a bed full of tools, weed eaters and a push mower or two up one of the steepest hills on the way back to the shop. One day I got out and walked along side, the woman I worked with became quiet unhappy with me until I got back behind the wheel.

That must have been so nice when it was new. Dually and 4WD. With a mason dump.

You usually have to put the transfer case into neutral to engauge the PTO. I love old iron it great video! I’m obsessed with old 4x4 trucks. the older the better! I love the rare ones like internationals and jeep trucks. i love how simple they are!

I once had an old 1942 Dodge 4x4 military WC-53 Carry-all that had that same PTO system run off of the transfer case but it was for the PTO-driven winch it had on the front. I got rid of it years ago and still regret it to this day. It was in great shape and I wish I would have restored it like I wanted.

I loved listening to how the compression evened out as you ran it, the engine gradually running smoother as it came back to life. Also, good luck on the tire bale building project :-P

Just love seeing you able to move around all those forgotten vehicles. You got a new sub here.

love grandpa's back yard and lived the video another great day....

Definitely a 1970 or 71 d300. Bitchen power wagon!! I'd love to have that!! 4by, duelly, with a dump bed👍

Cool old truck would like to see more of it

I love your subtlety and tongue-in-cheek comments about things. The tires on that old Dodge truck are nearly transparent. Maybe you are a Virgo, like me. Anything for a good laugh. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. Back in 1969 I had a 1965 Jeep gladiator pick up with 230 OHC in-line 6. Horrible motor. Replaced it with a long block replacement and within 7 months it was just as horrible as the original. Seeped oil from every seam. I suggested to Maricopa County (Phoenix) to buy a bunch of these to drive up and down the dusty dirt & gravel roads to keep the dust down. Wish I had another one today to restore with a Chevy, Ford or Dodge motor. Couldn't afford it in `69, I was a newly wed and 25 years old.

Nice diagnosis on the brake MC/booster problem!

You have a great touch on the throttle Kept it running early on You’ve done this before

Sure was fun watching! What a great old beast. (And the truck is cool too!) ;-)

Love the whiney sound of those vintage Mopar starters.

Nice to see the old girl running and working

Nice truck! I drove a heavier version right after I got out of the USMC in the early 80's. Great trucks!

You've got a fine old truck there.

I like how you go about getting the old engines running! Use the old oil, plugs, and what ever else.

So many good signs

I was never a Dodge guy, but I would take that baby in a heartbeat. I actually have need of a 3/4 dumper, or some yard beast type dumper with a smaller footprint. You have amazing luck at getting those engines, that have been sitting forever, to run. If I would have tried that, the valves would have been stuck, and I would have been able to use the push rods for some fancy artwork. Great video.

Cool old truck and there's so much more neat stuff in the background

Another great video! hope to see more of the old dodge. Makes me miss my old 66 dodge.

nice videos! brings back memories! lol

👍👌👏 Simply fantastic. Hope we will see you doing some pretty needed maintenance on this poor old workhorse. Best regards luck and health.

I want grandpa‘s truck looks pretty nice to me

This was really neat, thanks for taking us along.

That truck should have the special 318-3 forged crank engine so it's a very tough engine kinda specially built for monsters like this. That's definitely a special beast that deserves to live again. Ya never know when you'll need a dump truck to play with, almost as useful as a halftrack or two...

If that thing was fixed up to where it was road worthy it would be one hell of a firewood hauler

Wow! that dump truck is awesome 👌

Fun fact Dana 70 front axles share a lot of brake components with Dana 70 rear axles so there is a lot of parts availability new and used.

Nice job. Good video. Happy Motoring.

I feel like I owe you money for this teaching. Thank you Dean. Absolutely COOL MAN!

Great job getting it going fun to watch

Great vid a nice truck thanks for sharing 👍

That is so cool you gotta love the old stuff

Ahhh! There had better be a B-B-Q after. 🤩😁

MAN….you come up with some really neat stuff.

I love the old battery check voltage device.

That dumptruck would make a great restoration project and a great Firewood hauler

I love it bro. I see the Oshkosh plow vehicle in the background you did good on that one too I would love to visit Grandpa's backyard

Some sort of rust pile sorcery.

That’s a old school battery tester for a old school dude. I love it!!

What a great ole truck.

Very good . Love old trucks

Great... Really enjoyed the show..

Great video..I just love that old dodge.. you definitely made me laugh too.. keep up the good work.. I'm looking forward to the next one

Well that was fun and if your having fun then that's a win!

That was Epic ! I hope some young people got to see the value of yard equipment .

Awesome video. Love old dodges like that. I have a bunch of dodges. I watched the whole thing. Im subscribed

That was a good video and I like your sense of humor and it was information that an old broke guy who drives old vehicles can use.

Good to see , you learned to not worry about the mule , just load the wagon, ha ha !!

What a beauty truck

One of your best, thanks.

Juist discovered your channel and have been watching some of your videos. Interesting and fun. I really enjoyed this one. I have to add to your knowledge base here as there are a couple of scenes where you are sitting in the engine bay and sort of crouching under the hood. Only once did I see a video on this series of Dodge truck where the hood was opened to the 90 degree position. It is a simple thing to push the hood beyond the normal 45 or so position to its full 90 degree position. What was common knowledge about the Dodge cabs back in the 60's seems to have been lost in the 21st century. Keep up your video presentations.

Like the dashboard in the Dodge truck.

That was amazing - thinking about the brake fluid being the cause of the smoke. I question whether I would have had the wisdom to think of it. I really liked the smoke, and I think the rings probably benefited from the brake fluid shower as they awoke from their long slumber. Nice truck, and the dump system was interesting.

At least it has the keys in the ignition. Hold tight I'll have squeaky come over and help you.

Iron dinosaur. That is a TRUCK

Nice truck needs a car port with some paint.History.

These are still commonly used as work trucks where I’m from

Great job getting the old truck running...I truly hope those tires will be properly recycled at some time.

Always good content!

This has fast become my favourite yt Chanel your so funny with your one liner's 😂

For some strange reason - I like that truck!

Once you got it off of burning the brake fluid, it starts just like my 318 in my 1958 Plymouth Suburban. Cranks right up!

Love the smoke screen generating truck

Man, forget the James Bond smoke screen, this is the Uncle Buck smoke screen.

Hi , good call on the brake fluid being sucked into the manifold . good eye ,and nose as well , great video .

Love it. What a awesome truck. Guy up here had w300. A low mile truck coolest rig around. Growing up we had a 69 w200 power wagon. 45 mph top speed down hill being pushed . Slant 6 4 spd. 55 k original miles. Rusted out yo nothing.

Heh... when you said brake fluid in the crankcase I said to myself "No way, how?" Well, I got schooled.

At least you're going to drive away all the pesky insects with that smoke

Excellent video :) I remember at my first full time in 1994 for doing Sandblasting on vechiles plus lots boss bought local scrap yard a 1975 Dodge 5 ton with Hydro Boom also Box to also had 318 V8 industrial with 4 barrel carb Holley 1000 CFM with hand choke cable knob in dash, 5 speed Manual transmission floor shifter with single axle with a 2 speed rear end and 390 ratio not 4×4 at all ! But had 2 fuel tank on behind seat and second passenger side door 350 gallon! Great truck was and PTO ran of transmission too ! Truck color was Navy Blue plus Black Interior and Blue seat!

Really enjoyed that, stop spending on new stuff 😂

You protect the environment by minimising wastage. Solute to you!

You never fail - (maybe yet to come)

They need to make androids out of this guy who can go around the world bringing great vehicles back to life.

A 413 would be PEFECT in this !

Great channel love the content. This reminds me of my 67 w200 wish I still had it. Your truck appears to be a 70 or 71 ,a company called Tourq King might have the parts to fix the front axle. 6 lug axles share the same architecture but undesirable axle shafts.

Peg would call that thing loyal

Love that fruehauf mud flap
