I have a fantastic rest of my day after I watch one of your vids Silas. I collect old VW's and used to have Opels. I also used to get letters from the city I cannot have a dozen cars in my name parked out front lol! I need to move out of the urban setting I am in. I need to alter my adventure. Thanks for the inspirational words.
Just want to thank you for saving the old cars and trucks I really enjoy watching I wish they was more people like you that save history and giving the old cars and trucks a chance to be brought back to life I hope you have good day and my God bless you and yours
Hey Silas, your channel is one of my favorites! Every day it's like a junk treasure hunt! I'm still amazed that you do all that work alone and your work ethic is second to none! Keep it up!!
Metal detecting in old junkyard fields would be a lot of digging old lights and bolts and screws. But as you say "who knows" you mite get that lucky rare coin!!
That camper is sweet silas ,i like how many kool old cars you have in your yard your fire pit you made from tractor rims is awesome mate im watchin your progress on the school bus too great content .
Salis that was great as always loved it all and that the tires is something new enjoyed it all as always never miss a video thank you for sharing and your time was really great 👍
Awesome video! You ever think about selling sets of the aluminum wheels? Looks like you have some nice 80's,90's and early 2000 wheels in pile! 76 Oldsmobile Cutlass looks cool, make someone a good project? Maybe Mr Goodpliers would be interested in it? 403 V8 was used in alot of Pontiac firebirds! You can always tell Oldsmobile V8 by oil fill spout in front of engine! My father had 60's Oldsmobile V8s. Take care.
Word travels fast when you have a great channel. I really enjoy the variety of things you do in every video. Keep em coming my friend. Have a great week. Thanks
If you do get a metal detector please do a vlog on the process. Many folks are thinking the same and need he tutorial. You are a teacher. thank you for such a great vlog.
That camper is pretty cool. It doesn’t have to be real big for weekend camping. I’ll be following to see how the guy fixes it up. In the meantime , have a great day and have fun!
I just went over to the channel of the guy who got the Dodge camper, and he's got a restoration video of it up, it turned out awesome, the last shot shows him driving it.
I've never seen a camper Van like that before. It's cute. Not too big and not too small. Just right. Freedom Vessel guy seems like he knows a lot about the Balboa Dodge. Wonder why they stopped making it? Hope he makes a video showing him cleaning it up and restoring it. Glad it got a new home.
Like Twisted said earlier, the Oldsmobile 403 was used in the 6.6 Litre Trans Am (late '78 thru '79) but only in automatic transmission models. The Pontiac 400 was used in the 4-speed models. The 403 was also used of course in Oldsmobiles full size cars of that era (the 98 and Delta 88) to get away from the larger Olds 455 used until the mid '70's. Enjoy your video's sir!!
There was a big flap over it and GM got sued. "I bought X brand of car but it had a Z brand engine, I was ripped" So strange to think just a decade later nearly every FWD car had the same 3.8 V6 and no one thought twice. They all got over it pretty quickly
The 350 and 403 Olds motors are hard to just look at to verify what it is. The fuel pump location is a give away that it is a Olds motor. The casting numbers are the only way to figure it out. But the valve covers, and intake will fit either engine. Pontiac did use the 403 in the Trans Am as the 6.6 Liter engine option. I'm picking a '78 Trans Am tomorrow for my boss. It has the 6.6 in it. I'll be gutting the car and replacing the complete wiring harness in it cause the critters got it in and chewed it all up.
Enjoyed the video 76 cutlasses have round air conditioner Vents and 77 has Square AC vents, yes a 403 olds engine 79 to 80 Trans Am and 79 to 81 Olds 98 Regency
Hey Silas the Olds Cutlass came with both the 350 and the 403 Olds motors the easiest way to tell the Olds Motors from the pontiac motors is the oil fill tube sticks up on right side of the timing cover on the Olds motors (also as a fyi the Olds 350 and the 403 use the same block different internals also a super cheap hop-up is to install the 350 heads on the 403 lower ends) The pontiac motors had the oil fill on the valve cover also wanted to let you know the the center console cars were very rare and they also had the option to have the front buckets swivel so look for a release lever on the front of the seat off center towards the center console
SURE DONT KNOW HOW YOU CAN WORK THAT JOB...THERES SO MANY GOOD UNITS COME TO YOU & YOU GOT TO CRUSH THEM..CUS UR NOT A MUSEUM....ECT... IT WOULD SO BREAK MY HEART.... BUT MANY THANK YOUS FOR UR VIDEOS & UR COMENTARY.. GOD BLESS....
Silas if you have a cattle farmer or feedlot that does silage maybe they would take a bunch of those old tires to hold down their tarps. Just a thought
your make Awesome videos Silas I would watch any thing you post take care and thanks for sharing your life with us .watching from Eastern Ontario Canada
It's a shame about the condition of the Cutlas. I always loved the styling of the waterfall grill and the body color rally wheels. With the warmer weather coming, and daylight savings time soon, would a couple high schoolers be interested in busting down those tires and wheels ? As an incentive, a payment plan based on how many they do might help you out and clear the pile.
That Cutlass, man that's too bad it sat so long to rust like that but they were good for it! The 403, nobody is going to want that. The 350 had a lot more guts. Center console might be wanted, bucket seats too. Looks like the glass was good, I think 73-77 are all the same for glass.
The tire place I get scrap and my 55 gallon drums from has a tire cuter...he cuts his tires in four or 5 pieces and he says he's allowed to put them in the trash dumpster, just not allowed to do it when they whole...just a thought. Luv the videos...keep em comin.👍👍👍
@@foolnfish you don't even need a big smelter. We meltdown aluminum rims once twice a year we do it out at my property we sure brush out there and have a giant brush and tree fire and just keep keeping rims on there and by the next day they'll melt down into one big chunk of aluminum dash and charcoal doesn't stick to it we used to use a smelter takes too long to cost too much aluminum rims or just cast it doesn't take much to melt them down.
Here in British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 all tires have a recycle fee when you have used tires just drop them off at the nearest tire shop . They have to take them no charge . When you scrap a vehicle they don’t want the tires your discounted if you leave them on they have to remove all tires before shipping
I make videos of my 1953 Pontiac and cruising in Stockholm and old cars gatherings . I bring my camera when a do my daily adventures if find scrap in the woods or work on my Pontiac . From April until September we have cruising for old cars in the city of Stockholm the last Friday of every month so am always there . I help my old mother do her garden-work now when she is 87 years old, and i like that work .
I use to work at a recycle yard they always broke down the wheels they would make a easy 8 million a year off them but mind you they had a tire shredder machine but only charged 40 a ton when you brought it in
76 Cutlass Salon, I have one just like it. I will post a link to this video on the Facebook group for 73-77 Cutlass. You might pick up some subscribers and maybe even some parts hunters.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch cool, I have a 403 I’m my 77 442. The 76 top engine would have been a 455. Then in 77 the top engine was the 403. Great parts still on that car! Don’t crush it!!
I kinda remember a big lawsuit from the 70s GM was using the wrong engines in cars it was either Olds engines in Buicks or Pontiacs or the other way around without telling the people buying them
They even used Olds diesels in the pickups. Back when I was a kid 350 Olds engines were hot because everyone wanted to swap out those junk diesels without having to swap motor mounts
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch we had a 1980 impala station wagon diesel my Dad bought to replace his pickup but didn't like it . It was just a spare vehicle so it sat or everyone wanted it use it . He gave it too my nephew, his 1st grandchild when he got his license, the car and my nephew where the same age 17 he drove it through college in 2002. I think it may have been the longest surviving GM diesel from that Era
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch just putting this out there I need parts (car)for a 62 Chrysler imperial convertible if you ever come across a 62 imperial hit me up (any 62 imperial)
Silas I'm in eastern Nebraska. I'm always looking to buy 70-71 Ford Torinos or 73-79 Ford pickups if you find those. Thanks enjoy your videos, keep up the good work 👏
Your channel is very enjoyable because you are a humble person and your content is good stuff. It will become increasingly difficult to remain humble as you become more and more popular. I hope your personality survives the changes. Oh, and nice mountain of rims, wow!
Have you ever considered having a death row section in your yard? Put there vehicles, (or parts like fenders - bumpers, etc.). Put there vehicles that people seek as project cars or donor vehicles for their projects. You show you are very computer capable so have a website featuring your death row vehicles and parts. You don't show enough room to keep a large inventory stored so post and execution / scrap date. You may make some more money than scraping them and help save some vintage vehicles.
Silas the white cutlass is a Old eng you have...It may be a 403 that Pontiac used in early 80's trans am's...but its an Olds motor..you can tell by the oil spout...FYI
I lovbe watching your channel, I used to drive around my city and pick scrap. As a Canadian (Calgary AB) I guess I cant come work with you for being on the wrong side ofthe 49th parallel. anyhow, keepup the good fight. I used toaverage about 16aluminum wheels cleaned in an hour, Looks like it would take about 4 weeks if there are about 2500 rims and tires in that huge pile.
That engine is definitely and Oldsmobile. Oldsmobile has thebfill tube in front and the rubber hose coming off of the thermostat to the water pump area. A Pontiac would have a metal valley pan under the intake manifold that is visible in front and between sime of the intske runners. Pontiac intakes will have an area on the front where the intake and water pump / front cover connect to each other with a rubber washer in between and a long bolt from the front cover to the intake to pull the two tight so they seal up.

That 318 engine in the old Dodge camper was one of the best engines Chrysler ever built. The old slant six was a good one also.
Well done and thank you for your RUclips videos. I am watching you all the way over in Ireland
Are you flying a drone and driving a loader at the same time? Skill baby
Just want to thank you for saving the old cars and trucks I really enjoy watching I wish they was more people like you that save history and giving the old cars and trucks a chance to be brought back to life I hope you have good day and my God bless you and yours
I love your videos this is the second one I watch I love hearing you talk very well spoken
That dodge camper will be so cool when it has been restored. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Really like the drone footage you running the loader around

Epic wheel pile
Another great video! Keep them coming!
Cutlass motor is an Olds of some variety, the oil fill gives it away.
403 Olds motors were a 1977-1980 thing, and also used in some Pontiac cars.
Yes get that metal detector . You are so cool and I just love watching your channel keep them coming.
Keep doing what you doing I love it. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for all your educational and entertaining videos!
Have a fantastic day!

24:16 I absolutely understand you! Its so much nicer to have somewhat Nature around instead of all these dead concrete deserts and dusty flats.
Metal detecting! That would be so cool. Love it all Silas. Can’t wait for mushrooming!
Your success is due to the fact that you are an awesome dude.

Enjoying the drone views. No matter the size of space it's human nature to fill it with stuff. Crush that junk and open it up. You'll get more.
The oil fill like that gives the Oldsmobile up, there all built that way. 250 v8- 455.
I always enjoy watching your videos I would love to explore salvage yards again there aren't to many left
I just love your videos keep them coming your so honest and such a hard worker 😊
I didn't live so far away I'd bring a couple detectors out and we'd have a blast just going through all that crap
Be nice to see the camper when it’s done, metal detecting sounds good Silas, cheers🍻
Love the video Silas

Olds engine. See that oil fill tube on the very front? Oldsmobile. Not Pontiac.
With the oil fill in front it is an Oldsmobile engine. Still good parts on that and hard to find. It is a 76 olds cutlass salon!
Yeah later on I figured out that it is a 403 Olds out of a Pontiac. GM liked to swap engines around back then.

I agree its a 403 , one of the more tame engines that were used , i think the 350 had a bit more HP , these were more for emission compliance.

I wonder if that Olds Cutlass has swivel front seats . The chrome handle on the side makes me think it does . They are a cool option .
really cool to see what new things you find day to day and what you have to do to get things done
man i'd love to come down from canada and buy stuff from you
Where in Canada
I’m in Moncton New Brunswick
You need to invest in a wheel crusher to speed up getting the tyres off and reduce the number of dumpsters you fill up.

That engine is definitely and Oldsmobile. Oldsmobile has thebfill tube in front and the rubber hose coming off of the thermostat to the water pump area.
A Pontiac would have a metal valley pan under the intake manifold that is visible in front and between sime of the intske runners. Pontiac intakes will have an area on the front where the intake and water pump / front cover connect to each other with a rubber washer in between and a long bolt from the front cover to the intake to pull the two tight so they seal up.
I had a 76 cutlass identical to that one, mine was a big block. Unfortunately met a deer at 90mph and bent the a-pillar
Thank you for the explanation on the tires. I often wondered why you left all the tires on the rims. EPA is a good reason to leave them on.
