    Nice truck ,My bet the old girl spent some time in the military. with the marking on dash and that fire wall and flat bed probably in the Air Force as a POL truck on flight tarmack.

    Remember that Mopar ignition switch in the glove box. Even the paint will come back with some elbow grease.

    That is an absolutely gorgeous truck!!! You did well! Looks like the data plate said 17000 GVWR, that explains the dual rear wheel set up. More like a 3 ton truck I'd think. Outstanding catch!

  • @ddocspeck
    @ddocspeck Год назад +29

    A quick look on the ol` innerweb shows the H-series Dodge truck is the Heavy Duty `Job-Rated` version, which was rated at 17,000 lbs, as opposed to the regular 13,000 lbs.

    @markfortin421 Год назад +3

    Man...I haven't seen one that clean in yeeaarrs! Being from Michigan..."The rust belt" you know what put them in the crusher...no body left. You definitely scored big time.
    Won't it be nice to have windows and a heater next winter? Yep, I thought so!
    Good luck on the trans, it might be why it was parked.

  • @Neverdie242
    @Neverdie242 Год назад +3

    Very nice looking truck for it's age, glad someone found it that will put some love into it. That old motor sounds good and didn't smoke very much if any. I hate those kind of wheels and that would be the first thing to go before they kill someone. Looking forward to the next video.

    love it. i've been working on a '54 half ton for a kid that looks just like this. make damned sure the hood hinge is locked when you're working under there. i had the hood suddenly collapse on me and smash my face into the fender. i almost bit through my lip

    You must be the luckiest Dude on the planet! That is one sweet ride! I was worried about the two cylinders in the middle near the carb; I thought they were not getting good compression due to the usual moisture through the intake. But, Man, she was purring like six kittens! Cab corners, rockers - just a damned clean rig waiting for road duty. Keep on keepin' on!!!

    I actually have a spark plug cleaner from the 70s, that is basically a mini sand blaster, the plug fits in a hole with a rubber grommet, hook the blaster up to your battery with clips, then turn the plug as you press the on button, works pretty good.

    Great job ...back here putting the old cabs on a newer chassis so they have all the comfort with all the nostalgia of them beautiful old cabs. I do not think allot of these newer engines are really your cup of tee. But; there are still a few newer engines less all the crazy electrons that require a rocket scientist 24/7 to check that data... These days with the internet nothing is impossible, enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing all your hard work. It seems like so much fun watching someone else do the work, when in reality it's hard work...

    You got yourself a Damm good truck..good simple to work on engine..durable driveline and heavy frame..also there are grease fittings all over the suspension and universal joints. If you grease it every so often it'll last the rest of forever...word to the wise never ever sell it.👍👍👍👍👍

  • @foxyloon
    @foxyloon Год назад +2

    Such a cool truck! I think she can run duallies in the back, too. There's ton of thread on the lugnut studs for it.
    I wasn't surprised to see/hear that the engine was healthy, but I was thoroughly surprised at the overall condition. Usually these trucks are either beat up or rusted out, and this particular truck is neither! Goes to show that she was cared for before being parked and neglected for 20+ years. Unless the trans is completely rusted, I think it won't take much to get her going again.

      Look like buddies on the back. One sides normal thread the other sides sinister threaded. With a special socket and three yards of torque you take the lugg nuts off then set the socket on the square drive to get the inner threaded thimble thing off.

    That is a fantastic old Dodge. Even down here in the midwest it would be highly unlikely to find a truck that age in such good condition. I think with only a little elbow grease you are going to have a cherry running around rig there. Another great interesting, and entertaining video:-)
