  • @MerlinsOldSchoolGarage and Makay are off on an adventure for KNLB Advance Ministries, Inc. to get this shed to the top of the mountain. Josh called upon Merlin to complete the job because the road up to the top of the mountain is steep, winding, narrow, and scary... there was NO WAY to pull a trailer up to the top. Take the adventure for yourself to see how crazy all these guys are! Elevation 5103 ft
    Thanks for watching!

      Sad that today's Dandified Trucks costing too close to $100,000 have to be so highly modified to do the same job as something we bought for less than $3,500 back in the day before 1970.
      Try to tell a kid today that back in the 1960's you could call Dodge Fargo and order the E20 Custom Special Package to then specify your own options such as having the factory take the driveline from a W600 truck and narrow the track to fit in a W200 plus switch the engine to a 440 instead of the 383, put the military PTO winch on it, add Detroit Lockers or Limited Slip front and rear, etc, etc, etc. Kids called mine The Beast and would ask what shop customized it and had a hard time believing it was all OEM Factory. Downside was that you had to remember to order W600 parts when working on the driveline.
      Today they'd probably charge us $200,000 or more for those $3,500 trucks.
      Best!

      NorCal ... my dad was chief engineer for several radio stations ... spent much time riding out to remote locations on weekends to check on/install/repair equipment and/or take meter readings. Always an adventure squeezing between barb wires to cross a field of cattle, dodging rattlesnakes on the backside of Mt Diablo, hiking in the last mile of a couple of peaks up in Napa/Sonoma because a road had washed away, and various similarly accessibility-challenged locations in the Mother Lode. Sketchy dirt/gravel roads, amazing views, lots of 'are we there yet' and family picnic time. Tubes. Teletypes. Great times; loved it all!

    I owned one of that model but it was a window van. Drove it from Vancouver Island to the central Yukon on the Cassiar Highway and back to Dawson Creek on the Alaska Highway (both unpaved) until the motor threw a piston.
    I was a farrier and took shoes and tools with me and hung a burlap sack on the front between the mirrors and the bumper that said Old Horseshoeing Blacksmithing Coal on it. When the van died and when I took the burlap sack off the front of it there was an impression of the black tail deer I had hit with in in the front behind the sack between those dinky little turn indicators. 1200 cc motor. You could get the motor out faster than you could get the bumper loose.
    I traded it for a 65 Chevy panel truck and drove that to Eastern Ontario where I got turned around at the US border so I turned around and drove back to Vancouver Island.
    It was a good van in the snow and they are always fun to drive because of where you sit in them. A head of the wheels.

    Very nice old Porsche. If you think about it, the A550 was 1.5 liters, 135 hp and 240km/ fast. Great car from old Ferdinand. That's right, many VW and Porsche parts are 100% identical. Before Ferdinand founded Porsche, he was at VW, and Ferdinand had already developed some models for VW during the war. Merlin laughs, I think Enzo and Ferdinand are sitting upstairs laughing at the misery of today's cars. Great Video Merlin. Greetings from Frankfurt Gerold
