We will miss you working in a muddy river! This pullout seems too easy. But I hope this will be a reasonable winter restoration. Yes, looking forward to a will it start. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken
Thank you for saving another Volkswagen and encouraging us to keep pushing. As for the floor mat, leave it in place and liberally apply Aerospace 303. Then let it sit a day or two, then get something underneath as taking it up so supported, flip over, and treat the underside. Hope this helps. Cheers, Adriel
Another very rusty and crusty bus! This one is going to be a challenge to bring back to life. I still really enjoy these videos. Thanks for another great video!!!
The the spirits were on your side of this one . Love the video wish you all the luck with lucky it looks like you have got a lot of work ahead of you. Have a great weekend ,see you in the next installment of Jason’s adventures !
Round tube trans hanger, that is a wolfsburg build. Nice! That little container you found under the dash is a spare parts holder, usually for bulbs, fuses, points, etc.
@@VWNate1 Before the Hanover plant was built, all VW's were built in Wolfsburg. I don't recall the exact date of change, but many type 2's were built there both during and after the barndoor era. That round tube trans hanger is a sure sign of a bus built in Wolfsburg. There are many other odd details that signify their build location, too.
Another project to look forward to, when I left school and worked in house renovation the old fella who taught me my trade would walk around an old house and say "Pick that up, that will come in handy even if we never use it !!!!, and that reminds me of you
Another vdub saved!! That'll be a nice "winter project." For anyone but you, that would be a decade-long project. I've got faith in you. We're ready for the ride-along.
What a nice truck. This one deserves to be rescued and rebuilt. I like the split-window VW buses very much and I'm impressed how much are left (in whatever condition) around the U.S. Here in Germany it's hard to find them. And when you see one, it's in perfect shape and cost a fortune... Many thanks for sharing your passion!!!
This was a cakewalk compared to the NH Buses! The cab is amazing on it. The small container is a bulb/fuse kit. When you went to the dealer back in the day for a couple bucks you could buy one of these. It should have one of each bulb in it and a few fuses. The older ones were black and the 60's ones were blue. The frame is pretty roached but anything can be fixed and it's still holding up, so there's that. Very nice find, I'd love an old Single Cab!
Compared to your last adventure getting busses out of the Vermont triangle, this half cab dang near ran itself onto the trailer. Great save J. I really like this one and enjoyed seeing her going to a good home. Thanks J!!
Congrats on getting this one. You earned a somewhat easy recovery after everything you went through with the buses. The jack and rake are certainly flashbacks of your last recovery. I gotta be honest, I kept looking in the house windows expecting to see a spirit LOL... This would look so cool all restored and painted the blue and white. Yeah it needs a lot of work, but after seeing the last two that you rescued, this one looks surprisingly good. I'm lookin forward to seeing videos of this one over the winter.
Easy Peasy!!!! What no traveling way back through the woods? No chainsawing trees, no Kabota? Wow your gettin soft Jayson, and a hair cut and clean shaven to boot! All jokes aside this was a nice rescue for a change, cant wait to see you crank up that motor! I have to say there is nothing more exciting then when you post a new video! Thank you so much for doing what you do,!
Next time when your loading like that at an angle, get the front wheels up on the trailer, drive your truck forward and the vehicle will follow behind you and straighten itself out, make it easier for you. Hope that helps. Glad to see another single cab saved
What a score !!! I don't know when this video was originally posted , it just came across my feed . But anyways Wow , you do have some ... work to do . This reminds me of my 15W 59 that was parked next to a creek full .of home made yarn . It took me six hours to get out of there , had to stop by a local gas station to buzz off one of the wheels . I bugged bombed the inside three times it was full of ant and wasp nests . Loved my 59 15W !! Good Luck !!!!
A new chassis is a good place to start, that thing is 'toast' like the mirror! I think it is well named as Lucky, for the most part the body looks good. You would expect the bed to have a few holes as it was probably a working truck. I think the roof will pull out if you are careful Jason. We will wait for a 'will it run' video on the engine as it might not need much work. Great find Jason and thank you for taking us along and BTW I was shouting at the screen to REMOVE THE CAMERA. 📸 👍👍
@@stephenricketts7764 good point... and we'll see. As for restoration, that is not what this channel focuses on. Seems more like rescue adventures is his thing.
Hilarious. Best condition VW he's touched for a while, now designated "winter project", just a light renovation... first thing he does is smash the front windows in...mate, you give me the biggest smiles per episode 😂
Had 3 type 262’s! Loved them! The ‘67 I had got weld repairs, paint,upholstery, glass, engine, and transmission. Wish I never sold it 3 decades ago. They could haul a ton over rough tracks! This one needs a ton of work!
I really enjoy your videos and apologize if I’ve missed this in previous ones. Are you recovering for parts only? Where do you store all of these and what ends up happening to all of your vehicles? Do you flip some? I just watched your entertaining and interesting video on the recent two busses you rescued. Where do you keep those? Thanks for the videos and keep them coming. Blessings…
thank you for the kind words 5607....I have many, many , many cars in storage. I have the buses in a stream , 15w is still on the trailer. I have zero cars listed for sale but i do sell a car or two if they do not " talk to me " .....some of the biggest rot boxes are my fav cars haha. I did have to sell off a lot of cars from the lot at my previous shop ( i got evicted ...landlord son thought he had a guy to offer more rent $ and got ghosted ...TWICE LMAO . )
@@5150mxVW Thanks for the reply. I wasn’t trying to be nosy but was curious how you manage it all. Keep up the great work and love seeing the interaction with your son and keeping his activities prioritized as well (i.e. baseball). Take care!
I have watched you dig out countless VW's in harsh conditions. I have one suggestion for you. When I was off road racing we would have jacks on the race truck. We removed the wheels and welded steel plates to the bottom of the jacks. Basically like a sled is how the jacks looked. In sand, mud, soft ground the jacks always worked great and no need for boards, etc. Just some food for thought... Mike
Again, Nice work! Your recent videos have got me looking for a split bus project now haha. I just have to get my wife's approval first! I already have a beetle among other projects, so it going to be difficult sell haha.
I had a type 2 deluxe for 22 years. Bought it when I got out of the Air Force and loaded everything I owned in it and drove it to California from Pennsylvania. Went through 5 engines and one transmission when I owned it. Finally gave it up in 1990 and bought a euro van and drove it for another 10 years.
That thing's awesome! You and Musty1 can go cruising together. I almost didn't recognize you since you weren't up to your knees in mud and water, are you on vacation? Lol, love your videos!
When I was in junior high school in the early seventies I used to see one of those with a stubby little bed with nice stake sides on it, always wondered what became of it 😆
This was really good going Jason getting it out and on the trailer it certainly needs some work on the frame but I have faith that you can restore it as always best regards I will be watching for the next episode Andy Allen
Maybe the neighbor will turn on his garden hose and start a new muddy river. So you feel at home more... Sorry I shouldn't say that. Great score, this is gonna be cool !!
That thing you found under the dash is a factory VW spare bulb holder. Had several of them but haven’t seen another in years.
very cool ! I have never seen one , thank you for the info
There’s several for sale on the samba right now.
22:13
This channel is 50% car rescue and 50% earth moving.
May be more 80 percent earth removal and 20 percent car rescue! But always fun
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Asi es jajaja.@@jeffbannon1345
Thank goodness for fast forward
As a loyal member of the 1000 I do declare Sir you are our Hero.
thank you being in the 1,000 club, I truly appreciate you
That was someone's VW passion garage: a single cab and a beetle. Congratulations on the rescue.
Buddy...you are making vw people happy by saving that thing!!
thank you Doyler, i love your thumbnail
This one needs Larry’s touch
Great rescue Jay. You are the best
Compared to the last one, this was a walk in the park, for a veteran VW rescuer like you.
haha, yes and 6 hours round trip closer
We will miss you working in a muddy river! This pullout seems too easy.
But I hope this will be a reasonable winter restoration.
Yes, looking forward to a will it start.

Jason. Nice find. Im excited to see it back on the road. Thank you for rescuing it. ❤
thank you VW5085
Great find!! Lots of potential, long way to get there. "Lucky" is very lucky!
thank you Mark! yes that frame gets worse every time i poke around under there
can’t wait to see you start working on this one. the frame repair will be cool to see
Got to love am old pickup! That will be awesome after the rebuild! I have been working on a 36 Chevy pickup - not a VW, but a 77-year family truck!
sounds like an awesome project with great history
You cant save too many you are the vw rescue angel. Thanks again always entertaining.
thank you Jacqueline !
that is one of the more complete finds you have come across lately. Would make a cool vehicle .. Thanks for sharing
thank you Frank, I agree

Wow, you are getting to be an expert at sticking the trailer landing. Nice job! Can’t wait to see the progress on Lucky…
You got that up on the trailer better than expected! Nice one!
it sure helps when you don't need to roll it on logs :))
I think the box you find is for light bulps and fuses. I have one with bosch logo ,its also black.
Good luck with this one! Looking forward to your progress.
thank you Steve, me too
Couldn't bring myself to watch the combi videos. This was COOL. Thanks for sharing with us.
the buses in a stream ??? More on the SC soon , thank you
Dude that thing looks pretty decent!! Dove blue is such a great color!! Excellent Dude!!
thank you Chris !!!
Pretty smooth recovery…both your technique in the field and editing skills are improving. 😂 Thanks for sharing and nice to see that clean interior

My Dad taught me how to drive 55 years ago in a 1960 Beetle. Happy days, I’m 65 now. Glad you’re dragging that thing out of the bushes.
Lucky's a good name for him, well saved 👍
agreed , thank you Dave
Awesome save brother , quick grab and go compared to the creek buses . Congratulations
thank you Warren, yes way easier and only a 2 hour round trip, not 8 :))
You are amazing !!! Thank you again for saving all these VWs :)
A worthy rescue from the jaws of time and the elements.
thank you Delia
The VW content is always great to watch,thank you.
thank you Mr Brooks , i appreciate it
Jay, there is no mud. Where's the challenge? Yeah yeah, labor is a sunk cost. :) Great looking project. Best of luck.
That VW branded metal container might be a spare bulb holder. Didn't show us the inside, but that's my guess. Cool old bus.
That’s cool , I’ve never seen
One , it was empty….thank you for the info
22 minutes late but I’m here for another great adventure with Jason.

4:07 spotting the red beetle behind, it's asking to be rescued as well!
yes! it is a 72 standard
Next time when your loading like that at an angle, get the front wheels up on the trailer, drive your truck forward and the vehicle will follow behind you and straighten itself out, make it easier for you. Hope that helps. Glad to see another single cab saved
great tip!, but my truck was already on the sidewalk and that is a super busy, narrow street
Man!
I respect your effort and hard work to save this jewel!💎
Keep on good work!👍🏼

Winter project! Love the vision. Its blue! ...and nothing is cooler than a split pickup.
Nice find and a great winter build. You da man!!
thank you 61'
Some people would watch this and think "wow thats a lot of work" but after the buses in the stream series this must feel like a vacation.
Smooth job Jason
Looking forward to the restoration well done

Wow, that hopped right up there like it wanted to go home with you
thank you Mark
Nice move popping Lucky's headlights in! Not terrible indeed.
Jen approves this acquisition 👍🏻
yes :))...well i might need to move a few to the shop and doo some leaves first haha
After rolling in the mud and skidding buses like they were logs, it's understandable why you are tired. Nice job on saving another one.
Well at least this one wasn't float tested like the last one. Good luck on this winter project.
yes :)), i laughed when i saw the rear tires lightly nestled in the dirt ....then it took me an hour to get the 1st rear drum off haha
Wow! Just started watching your stuff. I look forward to seeing more. Thanks
You have a rare dealer accessory bulb & fuse holder !
very cool, thank you for the ID on it Michael

What a piece of cake compared to the buses in a stream. Not without challenges, but nowhere near the difficulty.
