Watching you build a truck bed out of scrap, chopping up a cherry picker and welding it to the back, all while drinking twisted teas and a ciggy hanging out of your mouth is why I watch this channel lol. Always entertaining. Watching I've learned that you know how to do stuff right just enough so that you know how to get away with doing it the wrong way but still make it work.

Its really wholesome seeing Dalton burst into stories about his grandfather building the truck throughout the video, It clearly holds alot of memories and means alot to him

I love how JD is getting more sarcastic like you its hilarious

Seeing you hold up that old picture of you as a kid standing by your truck, then dropping it to show your son doing the same hit me in the feels. I'm glad you got it back, because it's hard to put a price on nostalgia, especially when you can make new memories like that later in life. Personally, I think she deserves a little love, man. I think your use-case for it is great, and I wouldn't go crazy either. But some decent tires, make the doors close, bumper and lights, starter and clutch, and maybe a touch of brakes. It's cool that your kiddo has a chance to learn on it just like you did!

Love how you get your boy involved in everything and teaching him a good trade and having him learn to drive around the property definitely life experiences you will never forget and building that bond with your son is awesome to see we need more dad like you out there teaching your boy to be a man

I officially name this truck Pole-Mater! This is probably my favorite video to date. The picture of JD where you were standing as a kid was just awesome. The feels were strong with this one!

The excited look you have when driving your new tow truck and then teaching JD to drive it made me cry. A priceless moment between father and son you will share forever,

I love old photos, having a picture on your phone isn't the same as saving a physical item 30 years. Just hits the heart different

Stepping out of the truck and walking next to it like a G is every fathers dream. JD was like “WHAT??” and the look of pleasure on your face made us all jealous. That’s a truck son… That is a truck…

28:40 "god i hate mopars" as a mopar guy ive never heard a truer statement

J.D. is now one in a million kids his age that not only know what a starter is, but has helped re-build and install one. Fantastic, Dalton 👍

Dalton you are the Dad I dreamed of having when I was a kid in the 70’s .

This is definitely my favorite of the fleet. I love trucks of that era, and the history of this truck is special for your family. I'm glad you were able to get this truck back in the family. It's back home where it belongs.

Re: the cherry picker, I designed/built one back in college, the assignment was to improve a product, we basically just overbuilt the thing, increased its reach and articulation, and as far as I know the school is still using it to change/suspend for maintenance the heads on the bridgeports.

there is nothing, absolutely nothing better than the feeling when you teach your son how to drive a stick on an old beater truck my dad taught me when I was 8yrs old in a 52 Chevy and I taught my son how to drive when he was 12yrs old in a 79 F150 stepside, first time out he popped the clutch in granny low and it idled the entire way across the property, up and down the steep hills with ease, from there it just got better as he learned to shift and picked up speed, its amazing, great video Dalton!!!

One of my favorite things about PBG is how much JD is involved. Much like a lot of us did, following our dads around soaking everything we can in. Its clear that a big part of this channel is selfish in that you will have all these memories for you and your boy to look back on for years to come. As much as this channel has hrown, its still VASTLY underrated

That's pretty damn cool that you were able to reclaim a piece of your youth, and let JD do just the same things you were able to do at his age with it. Makes me wish I could find my old 72 GMC Sierra that I had when I was about 13. Had to get rid of her when I was 18 in 2008 when the market hit the shitter, and fuel prices were in the four dollar range.

Nothing better to a young lad than tinkering alongside a caring dad.

What a great experience for JD. He's a young man who knows exactly who he is and where his roots are, thanks to having an outstanding father. Dalton, you really outdid yourself on this one. The old dodge truck might be only running on six cylinders, but this video was firing on all eight. Nicely done!

I would love to find my dad's first new car and restore it and give it to my pops. A 1966 Chevrolet Caprice 427 4-speed car black exterior with red interior and a 12 bolt positraction rear end with 3:73 gears but I know that will never happen unless I win the lottery. I'm literally below poverty level due to a rollover accident that left me 100% disabled and unable to work. I'm trying to survive on 1,300 a month. I'll never be able to find the car with my financial situation.. plus my pops has Alzheimer's and Dementia. Love the channel and I love seeing you work on these vehicles with your son. Those memories are priceless! God Bless and thank you for sharing these precious memories!

This is just.... full circle, the moment JD posed in by the truck, same as your picture. You are making core memories, and your son is lucky to have them immortalized in film, as we are luky to be part of it in some way

Us guys are so simple, days of smiles and enjoyment over some old junk. My wife doesn't get why I like to mess with this old stuff but she knows it makes me happy. She's always saying that she doesn't get why I do it cuz it always puts me in a bad mood. It's the end result, putting something someone threw away or forgot about back in working condition and putting it to work. All the anger,busted knuckles, missing tools in the woods I give my kids 5 bucks a piece to go find is always worth the end result,a stupid toddler like smile and some burnouts to make sure the work is done right. I've been watching you since the beginning, you haven't changed a bit and I've learned some great stuff especially with the body work. Don't change, this channel is perfect the way that it is.

Keep the old stuff alive!!! Not just the shells, but old school engines. LS etc is fine, but old school engines are amazing. Love your content. Sad we didn't meet you at Duct tape drags last fall. Would love to see you there again and say hello.

The last part with JD driving and you coaching him was hella wholesome to see. Awesome work you too!

I love that American “Can do” spirit and ingenuity on display in all of your videos Dalton. Greetings from Canada

"Just Prep as go" I'm dying!

Pole barn is the best channel on KZfaq. No fancy shop and still gets it done

Making memories with your son. The same way you made them as a child. I too have the truck I grew up in and will be sharing the rebuild with my son.

Man that’s so awesome to see jd working on the same truck you did as a kid those memories are priceless to the both of you

Out of all the car chanels this one is my favorite. The fix it with what you got or what you can afford is relatable and the it will be fine is the icing on the cake. Just shows you don't have to have a bunch of fancy tools or know exactly what you're doing just try it and figure it out as you go.

Love these multi generational car stories! Now the next gen gets to drive it! Time is truly cyclical!

Dalton, Thanks for letting us be a part of this. I can only imagine the feelings and pride getting the opportunity to get this truck back that meant so much to you as a kid. While being able to share that experience with your own son. That spot with your picture and then panning to JD standing alongside it was wonderful! Keep up the great work and stay true to yourself. Good luck with the new addition!!

Awesome truck! Glad you got it back!

Always love to see an old Mopar get a new lease on life. Your history with it is icing on the cake. The 50s and 60s Dodge trucks are getting pretty rare now.

That truck is a family heirloom and JD can learn to drive a manual with it too. Really like this build. I really appreciate that you are teaching JD to make things you need out of stuff lying around the yard. He will be able to do much more than kids in his age group!

Try that with anything new. Its awesome to see that you could not only get a piece of your childhood, but get it back to being usable! Great job as always!

Honestly i think most every gear head started on either mowers or go carts.

Real revivals from/ for real folks. Hell yeah. Again positively fantastic to see JD in the shop helping and learning from Dad.

This is so amazing and badass on so many levels. Comes full circle on so many levels. The pictures, you working on it with your son. I'm sure Dad loves this so much. Grandpa too. Please keep it up

If you're still naming things, Putty Holly might be fitting for this one.

Well it's midnight now and this was just posted. Gotta be at work in 6 hours.... Who needs sleep.

Some tire chains, a couple spare quarts of oil, and a handful of old rusty yard sale tools and you'd have a heck of a yard truck right there

What a blast from your past! Very cool father-son project and work truck!

Legend,,!

This video just made me smile the whole way through. I love old trucks, especially ugly Dodges. The fact that this truck means so much to you makes me so happy, and I can tell it makes you happy too. Now it will mean a lot to JD and hopefully he will get to revive it 20 years from now.

Awesome quickie build, should name it “Oil Slick” and paint it on the doors.

Love the fact you got your boy involved in all of these - hope to do the same with my son as he gets older.

Loved seeing all the old pics of you and watching you bring this back to life with JD is truely awesome.

That's awesome that you were able to give your son the same experience working on the truck you worked on when you were little. He looks just like you in the old photos

Dude.... This truck needs to be made Raodable for JD over time!!! So cool u got it back! Id Kill to find my dads 89 D100 He had... I lost track of it 10 12 years ago

How cool to have your son working on a truck you worked on at the same age. I love that, Good for you dude!

Cool you found the old truck and had pictures to go with the story.

This video brings the warm and fuzzies to good memories of working with Dad... Thank you. And keep up the good work. You're a Great Dad!

What a great back story to this truck. Glad you got it back and some great memories too.

This made me sad. Made me think of my dad. And how i miss him. We had some good times me and him. Just like you and your boy. Thank you for making me remember the good times. You are doing a really amazing job at being a dad.

Man he is so grown up already Dalton. Congrats!!! Maybe duallies in the back. Having it back to pass it on is priceless

I love watching you and JD working on stuff together. She's far from a worthless truck. She's full of memories from when you were young. And now you guys are making more. No amount of money can buy treasure like that. Your clips are some of the very few that never fail to make me laugh out loud every time. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with us.

That is awesome that you got your first vehicle back! It's a great feeling! I just recently got back my very first car I built ! Congratulations keep that beautiful truck running and living!

Hillbilly ingenuity at its best right here on the Pole Barn Garage Channel. That is why I watch. JD your doing great little man. The Ol' man is teaching you right.

It’s cool that you found that truck you worked on with your dad, then working on it with your son all these years later. Keep up the great work man.

Congratulations on bringing home a great childhood memory. Bet JD will also have great memories of the truck. That granny gear was a big help hauling hay. Jess did a fantastic job on the grill. You need to let her paint more. Really enjoyed the video.

Hope JD will do the same with this truck, when he will have his own shop. It will be a family tradition.

Some excellent camera work, and one shot of JD and new old car, and you, as a young Dalton next to the original, was beautiful. Fathers and sons can be complicated, and for me was less than ideal - but JD will remember this for the rest of his life - and the cherished memories no one can take from him. Well done Dalton. You're my hero today.

I enjoyed seeing you really appreciate buying back this old truck and savoring all the memories you had of it. I could tell you appreciated what a great old work horse it was and still is. What really got me is seeing you let your son drive it, learning how to work the clutch and let it creep along. I was glad to see you make the original engine live again! Bravo!

You really put this back to work (revival and cleanup) all in 1 video. I appreciate that you don't draw stuff out, fix it up just enough, and keep old stuff on the road. That is more green than any new crap. Love the content

Wow D my heart skipped a bit when that chain slipped. Great video. Lots of men in that truck.

Great story, 2nd generation 2nd revival on the same truck. Good stuff Dalton. You're a good Dad. 👍

I'm new to your channel, and I have to tell you how immediately IMPRESSED i was with your son! His joyful enthusiasm and willingness to jump in and work are extremely rare; not only for a boy his age, but even for people much older and more experienced than he is now. I LOVE the effort he devotes to identifying the silver linings/bright sides to situations that arise too. He's a great kid Sir, and will become a great adult. Give him and yourself a good pat on the back, and then keep pushing, grinding out the projects together. It's clear HE loves doing it with you too. This is building a firm foundation for his future. He will surely build upon these experiences to do great things throughout his life. What a seriously great little dude..

I've never seen you so happy on any of your show. The smile and laughter. This moment in time will be with you an your young man for eternity. From Kentucky hillbilly to your family prayers n hugs. Wish I could show you my dad's 53 f100

Oh man, Dalton...one of your best revivals yet!😀

That was such a cool three generational family truck story! You did it again! You took a old vehicle got it running and spent almost no money in getting it fixed up and looking much better! I love your show! Great entertainment and educational. Spring is on its way there! I retired to the Philippines... Man I miss my 95 Chevy Blazer Vortec engine vehicle! But I have your great show and other s to keep me entertained within the automotive rebuild, fix and get er done & running department here on KZfaq! Keep up the fun entertainment.

Don't ever change! I would rather watch you work on old crap that doesn't matter than watch other channels create masterpieces people are afraid to drive because they look so nice.

got to say i love the old dodge, I'm amazed at how good the frame is. love that truck i think she would be a good rig to fix up. and good job teaching the boy to drive standard, i to learned on a old doge truck a 73 power wagon when i was his age. i think she's worth a ring and valve seal job it sounds great

I can't believe you hid those louvers. At least once recognize fashion over function. Loved it.

This is awesome! I like it that you didn't build it back to perfection but like build it like you build it 20 years ago with your dad/granddad. Great experience for JD and i inmagine you guys had a lot of fun building it and learning JD to drive it! Keep up the good work man!

I had keys to my Dad’s 86 F150 4.9L with a granny low 4speed when I was about 8 or 9. Great memories.

I’m glad you got that truck running and driving so that u can share many more memories with JD

Dalton this was a real treat for me to watch. Thank you for such quality content. At the age of 19 I begrudgingly sold my first car, a 1967 Firebird 400 that I procured at the age of 14. But, I managed to hold on to the first vehicle that I drove, a 1977 Chevy Silverado short bed 4x4 with a granny 4 speed and a 12 bolt with a posi. That truck has served me and my family well since the early 80's when my dad first brought it home. It got me "there and back" from every fishing trip, camping adventure, hunting trip, and firewood retrieval mission. I fully respect your desire to keep the poly 318, though I can't help but wish you would do a dingle ball rebuild and re-ring it. Of course with the amount of oil blowing by it's more than likely that an overbore would be in order...perhaps a $400-$500 junkyard "magnum" 318 with a carb swap could serve as content for an upcoming episode.

Nostalgia can be a huge motivation. I'm glad you got that one back.

can hear the excitement in your voice finding that old truck was neat to see you bring it back even if just a beater around the shop it's already just being very handy good ol Dodge master cylinder has the old pressure brake light switch on it too so like 4 generations have played with that now? would love to see more on it and was fun listening to the stories you have with it

I’ve been a long time subscriber to this channel, and I will say no other video that you have produced has brought tears to my eyes like this one I don’t comment much with you and your son you have a wonderful bond that I absolutely love and brings back memories of my father, I’m hoping to see more of this. This is truly amazing video of your childhood truck being passed down to your son.

Seeing you work on that old truck reminds me of working with my family on the farm. Also reminds me of stories my grandmother told about working on cars with my grandfather in the shop. They used to fix up cars and paint them in the winter. Be around 1950.

It needs the giant tow mirrors, excellent creation my friend Keep the truck content flowing

This is one of my favorite videos you've done. Along with the great content you always provide in your videos, i thought it was cool that you brought up childhood memories throughout the video and also teaching your son how to drive in the same truck you learned how to drive, that's awesome! Great work as always!

These old dodges are underrated, they made some good looking trucks!

I've watched alot of your videos and they are all awesome but this one was by far my favorite. It kinda tugged on the heart strings as they say. You seemed to be the happiest I've ever seen you when you were driving her across the field. Then to see the same happiness on JDs face. Great video buddy

It's awesome to see the genuine love for the old truck. Has me itching to work on my old truck with my boys! Keep the great vids coming!

Loved seeing the reunion of the old dodge and congrats on your first standard experience JD glad you aren't computerizing the old gal... old iron is definitely the way to go without computers

Another great video man. Here in the UK practically everything is manual (well, most day to day cars) so we don’t have any choice but to learn. JD will get to grips with it, he’s a bright lad, he understands the mechanics of it, which helps a great deal. Looking forward to seeing you get that big old truck going.

Both you and JD are worker Bees. JD is great getting good camera angles. I wander Dalton why you got the bed on the truck so fast and then I realized it was because of your Mother telling you all the time to take care of your bed. I love the old trucks and the history they represent. This was another Pole Barn classic episode.

Love it! The truck is glad to be back home! Great job on the paint! JD can carry on the tradition!

Great old rig. Would love to see some more on it. Glad you got it back. Things like that are priceless

That’s awesome Dalton! Able to buy the old Dodge back that you learned to drive when you were a young lad! I’d like to see your Dad’s reaction when he first see’s it again looking the way it does! Turned out pretty frickin cool! Good work to J.D. as well and Jesse’s paint job turned out nice!!

Childhood truck is good to have. I am glad that got it back.

That's incredible. Every person I've ever taught to drive stick, the very first thing they attempted was a big 3500 rpm clutch drop. Despite being told multiple times to feather the throttle only once in motion. He did such a great job listening to direction

I can only dream of finding my first car again and teaching my son to drive in it! So happy you have this opportunity

The pictures of you as a kid working on the truck are Great 👍 Looks just like JD out working in the shop!!

Father son bonding using cars is priceless. You just know JDs hero is his dad. He is a very fortunate young man who is sure to carry on his grandfather’s and dad’s passion for cars. ❤

1959 Dodge Stealth REPO truck, good job Dalton !

Amazing content, Dalton, as always. Really great to see you get to share such an experience from your childhood with your son.
