Wow, that pick up truck brings back memories for me! My Dad bought one of those new in the 1970s! We used to cut and haul firewood in it. Unfortunately, we lived in Western NY and it died a premature death due to rust. It was a great truck!!
In late 1961 my dad ordered a brand new 1962 Pontiac Tempest Convertible from Morton Pontiac in Morton Grove, IL. The car would be built and delivered to the dealer in about 6 weeks and our 1956 Pontiac Star Chief had a bad trans so we needed a car. The dealer's son worked with my Dad and arranged to have the dealership "lend" a 1954 Caddy 4 dr. sedan that was really an awesome cream puff. This was late November in Chicago and I remember vividly how quickly this car started and the awesome heater and sound system in the car. Even though it was only AM radio, the sound was so beautiful...especially when I would sneak into it and listen to WLS in the middle of the night. All those top 40 hits sounded terrific in that car. Also, this car rode and drove smooth as silk. But it ate a ton of gas lol.
Nice save Mike , I thought you two were going to be SOL . There are more twists and turns than a James Bond movie . Great to see you with your dad again . Tell him I said hey , have fun with the new truck . You did good !
I'd say it's still a win in my book! You were able to help a brother out and in return, you got a sweet International! At least this one has an interior! I'd like to see a video of this one running & driving! If you got the time & the budget, I'd recommend installing an aftermarket 8 track in it.
I ran a across & filmed a 56 series 62 in central Manitoba a while back but could not get too close to it. I enjoyed your journey with this one even though you could not get it running. Look forward to what happens to the International truck!
Well now, that did work out. The Cadillac still has a purpose, and you've got a decent project in trade. Just promise you won't try a LS swap. Some other RUclips builder has done that, and while it was interesting, there's not many unmolested International pickups left in the world. I realize that I'm saying this before you have even lifted the hood on this one, guess I just like the old Internationals as they are. I'll be looking forward to seeing this run again.
My grandma had a canary yellow 72 International 4x4 with the 392 and automatic. That truck was a beast! Looking forward to this series. Keep up the great videos!
Wow u guys did great on how u did your deal. Glad it worked out for you, can't wait to see what this whole internationals all about. Keep them awesome videos coming!!!
Wow, she is just so patient. Quietly waiting for somebody to just touch and feel her body. Waiting for that next breath of air to turn into horsepower and thrust. That next turn of the key, that slow departure from the garage with a brand new shiny finish to show the world.
That was fun. Parts can be stupid expensive on that era Cadillac. Would have been a shame to see it crushed. The International Truck is very clean. Looking forward to seeing getting it going.
At one time that car was probably nice in till it got involved in that crash. Looking forward to the videos on the pickup and future videos on the Porsche looking great and any other videos you have in store. Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
A friend of mine had a Cadillac hearse around this vintage, not quite this rough but close, he always was going to get it going to take to Dead concerts but it ended up being used as a chicken coop. I also know of another guy who has his whole property filled with cadillacs from the fifties right through eighties and even though he a wino in his seventies and will never do anything with any of them, some with trees growing through them with his house falling in on him, he wouldn't sell nothing to nobody for any amount of money.
@@mnite7991 I can't imagine anybody saying that about Jonathan. He seems like a super honest guy and extremely knowledgeable! One of the best mechanics I've ever seen. Been subscribed to him for a long time. what makes you say that?
The whole car has been a nest for many creatures for many years. Are you sure you want to try and start that poor thing? Please be sure to keep a fire extinguisher handy when you crank that thing over! Lol 😆
I was wondering who had outbid me on it. I started to stop by when I saw it on the trailer off 178 but was running late for work. I wanted to see if the motor was any good, if you found the air cleaner, and if the tractor behind it was for sale. I'm glad it wasn't just hauled to the crusher.
I mean for someone who has the required time it would be a perfect classic hot rod or a rat rod project getting it running taking all the damaged parts of getting rid of front clip put in some lights put Sheet metal in the floor pans
Well, I'm glad the Cady got into the hands of someone that can salvage parts from it. Too often people just crush rare old cars before thinking.
yeah my brothers boss sent an old bmw 2002 to the fire department so they could burn it
Glad this Cadillac will provide parts that will help with fixing another car.😯
I want that car just way it is. Put it on display. It’s more art now than anything. Yard Art!
The International pickup is sweet, looking forward to videos on that!!

It is really sad to see such a amazing car in this condition :(
Dad had a '54 two door coupe Deville!
At the begining of this video I was thinking that if you guys got that caddy back on the road, you truly are miracle workers! Know when to fold 'em.
Holly shit I just had my first "Show Me Christine" moment!
Nice deal Michael!!!!!! Can not wait to see what you do with the pickup!!!!
Jared from wrench everyday would be crazy about that international truck
Good to see Dad has his protective footwear on
And safety contact lenses.
the key word for you is "fun" to others its work. So you get lots done
I was kinda hoping that the "gentleman that reached out" was Derek from Vice Grip Garage 😂

Awesome how it worked out, looks like a pretty clean International, definitely deserves to live on.
I'll love to see that International running. Keep up the good content.
I thought you were crazy getting that Caddy, but of course you're the best at turning lemons into lemonade. Great trade for the International. 👌👍
You have skills hopefully the Porsche got a crazy awesome 360 run & drives
So You did it Michael - The awesome - Looking so much forward to see some videos. Thx
You must have the most patient and understanding wife in the Carolinas, because if I’d brought that home...
Wow, she is just so patient. Quietly waiting for somebody to just touch and feel her body. Waiting for that next breath of air to turn into horsepower and thrust. That next turn of the key, that slow departure from the garage with a brand new shiny finish to show the world.
Just don't cut the frame or LS swap the International.
You made out like a bandit. It goes to show good thing come to good people. Oh I'm interested in buying the ih when you get done with it .
Love this channel so much! Glad to see more and more Sub’s. You deserve it brother man!!!
I know exactly who bought that caddy Reese rudder!!😎👍 I know his employee jay smart too!!!
Lol I knew that car look familiar I deliver mail to your neighbor all the time
That trailer looked like it was barley holding on over there lol
The truck looks really clean, I hope after getting it running its not turned into Burnout Betty and fixed up properly, not many of them left
At least it’s got some good parts Those valve covers are cool wall hangers
That was fun. Parts can be stupid expensive on that era Cadillac. Would have been a shame to see it crushed.
The International Truck is very clean. Looking forward to seeing getting it going.
Excellent video brother 👍
That car lot was a field of broken dreams
Wow! Great video. I have a 54 Cadillac at home! I hate to see them like this but it happens. SIGH.......
ooooouuuhhh una cadillac, una delle auto piu belle d' america. complimenti
great video to see thanks take care
Wow! This is my Dream song 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great Video liked the 64 Chevy Biscayne at his place
Nice truck !!
That must’ve been a bad wreck because those things are tough!😬
fun times for certain, keep up the awesome videos
Very nice cadillac
At one time that car was probably nice in till it got involved in that crash. Looking forward to the videos on the pickup and future videos on the Porsche looking great and any other videos you have in store. Excellent work and thanks for the awesome content stay safe and take care
There are decent people that actually could and would make that into a show piece motor included
Awsome, nice flipping to a another truck project😀👍 Cant wait too see videos of the truck😀😀
SPARE PARTS JACK POT - well done !!!!
Great video, looking forward to videos on the International truck!
Oh man I love them ol scouts. Can't wait.
LOL. Good luck on the International truck
The car is a goldmine for parts even if it’s a four door. All the odd bits are worth money.
Please rebuild 'em don't crush 'em!
Nice truck
Cool IH truck score
Nice trade indeed yes sir! And nice content most important. Thank you!!!
Sweet! Nice turn of fate there with the truck! I have to admit, I was laughing my ass off through most of that video😂
Ummm. . . .parts car?? Wow, you gotta rack to pull all that damage apart?? Very ambitious.
A friend of mine had a Cadillac hearse around this vintage, not quite this rough but close, he always was going to get it going to take to Dead concerts but it ended up being used as a chicken coop. I also know of another guy who has his whole property filled with cadillacs from the fifties right through eighties and even though he a wino in his seventies and will never do anything with any of them, some with trees growing through them with his house falling in on him, he wouldn't sell nothing to nobody for any amount of money.
That truck is sweet, looks kinda like the Wrench Every Day one
Looks tidier than the Johnny Rev
I commented before seeing entire video, Can you send me contact info to see if I can make deal on that Pontiac wagon?
The Caddy will go to good use!
You keep getting better with your videos!
The blacksnake probably took care of the mice and rats!!
For 100 bucks thats a steal!
Pull the plugs and fill with marvel mystery oil and let it soak for couple weeks. Worth a shot.
Nice flip 👍
Nice trade!
If it could only talk love your videos
You will have to have the "Luck of the Irish" to pull this one off!
gotta say never thought you would get it on the trailer, for $100 if nothing else that's cheap fun
Nice one Guys 😊👍
Congrats on hitting 65k subscribers !
Thanks so much! Thanks for being a part of our journey!
If money and time wasn't a thing yes I'm sure you COULD rebuild it with ALOT of fabricating and replacing but most won t bother
Hey Michael , are you familiar with Jonathan W’s channel ? He is a very cool guy who has old school knowledge. Recommend
I used to subscribe to him. Hes a liar, like so many others priting from us and youtube
@@mnite7991 I can't imagine anybody saying that about Jonathan. He seems like a super honest guy and extremely knowledgeable! One of the best mechanics I've ever seen. Been subscribed to him for a long time. what makes you say that?
you guys traded up, good job!
Pretty decent old international!
Love the truck!
Great swap, I much prefer the truck
Ill bet the new owner of that caddie will get it running, u guys really didnt even try very hard
The whole car has been a nest for many creatures for many years. Are you sure you want to try and start that poor thing? Please be sure to keep a fire extinguisher handy when you crank that thing over! Lol 😆
You dropped off a gem and picked up another gem. You should restore it. They sell for prime money.
Every video, you guys have idyllic weather, every one...
You should do a Crown Vic chassis swap with that truck
Yer brave on that one!!!😳😳😳
Don't worry, it's all about the patina!
My father's '53 Pontiac had a long, narrow 6-volt battery.
aah the carburated engine, damn you FI cars.
In the late 60s it was just a used car. Can't imagine it being given to a college student as a daily commuter these days.
100$ well spent.
If you can fix that you can fix anything.
Just subbed! Good job!
WTF? NO FIRST engine start on this beaut? lol🇨🇦👍
This motor is weld !!

just not worth the money probably
was it a straight trade Caddy for the truck?
