‘49 Dodge pickup ABANDONED in the desert decades ago, will it run? 

Today I’d agree with you on the 120 thousand, but then, trucks weren’t usually driven like we do today, they didn’t run to Walmart and McDonald’s every day…..

It's disrespectful to watch a channel and not subscribe! It doesn't cost anything nor does it obligate you to anything. It just supports the channel and helps the people who spend their money and time making the videos that you like to watch. these guys earn it. And if they've kept you entertained or engaged for the video. It ain't gonna hurt you to hit the like button. They've earned that too.

Love this channel. Please see these trucks through, or do more on your stuff. Not enough channels finishing projects.

I like the simple to the point and helpful tips,no drama and four letter words!God Bless youall -Vic Prineville Oregon!

Really enjoy this content. Love the interaction with dad and son. "Work that throttle!" "I am!" Love it.

That old pickup is “Ram tough.” Love it.

If it was up to me, I'd pull the day light's out of it till it ran.

Amazing how suspenseful it is when that engine is turning over and almost running...I was thinking, "Come on, come on...please start so I can breathe easy again!"

Ill say the coolest thing is that you are fortunate to work this project with your dad, I wish i could work my projects with my Papa RIP dad I miss you ❤

Great trk. I had a old dodge pickup Iam 76 years old I got to see all the old cars growing up. No computers just good old basics. I've had alot of the old cars . Really like the idea of you and your Dad saving thes old cars and trks.

That's a cool old truck! I miss Arizona. I use to live in Thatcher right outside of Safford and also Prescott Valley. Someday I'll make it back to visit family

Travis and his Dad: Sitting together on the tailgate of a pickup. @16:04 What a great moment preserved for prosperity. Father and son side by side as it should be.

Love the old trucks. I have a 68 Dodge. I wish mine had a hemi instead of the 318 now. Thumbs Up and have a good weekend also.

The 49 is going to take a little work. You men do a great job on this old Iron. And your dads body work is awesome on El Camino The 46 International is cool. Parts I can see going to be tough. Thank you for sharing! ❤️💯

You don’t have to worry about me. I will keep watching a video with old cars and a father son team. Not to mention I love the El Camino.

I love these older machines. Looking forward to the next installment. 🇬🇧👍

Hope you guys get another chance to get that old Dodge running. Such a cool truck. Kuddos to Daddy Rick on the El Camino body work. It's looking great.

My Dad had a '49 dodge pickup like that one. Would be cool to see the old girl running again

I see wheel studs with lug nuts. That means 3/4-ton. Half tons had wheel bolts. That is a great find!

And the lifetime achievement award goes to the starter motor at 70+ and still givin the beans.

Awesome channel. I really enjoy seeing the 40, 50s model trucks. Keep up the great work! You and your father make a great team! My late father and I were best friends and we worked on everything together..trucks, tractors, dozers etc. he’s been gone 15 years now. Treasure what you have there together!

Hell yeah, new video. Much love from Texas

Your Dad is good at everything 😁👍

That tail fin ERASES any possible “disappointment” I would have over not getting that Dodger started. I never appreciated beat up old trucks before you folks showed me how cool they could be. Not even “Mater” from “Cars” could make me like rusted old hulks, lol. Mahalo for another super video. I know the Sun is unrelenting out there and that you couldn’t bring Boo with you, but maybe you just needed a pinch of his supervision and inspiration, lol. Take care and Aloha to all three of you.❤

El Camino. ❤ 👏👏🤘🏼👍👍 I'm happy to see those vehicles coming together. Thanks for the updates

You guys are great! Glad to hear the International is still around!! Looking forward to seeing the following video!!!

This is beyond cool. I hope the subscriber comes through with the door and other parts you need. I can see tons of content coming onto youtube. Please be safe.

Working with your father can be pleasant and fun, or miserable and aggravating. My father and I do carpentry, flip homes, build decks, do landscaping... That kind of thing. He's broad strokes, work fast, see the project being completed. I love the meticulous small things. Taking the interior out of my car to deep clean it every couple years, making sure everything fits perfectly, figuring out the why and how. It's nice you two have similar interests and goals and can have a back and forth like 21:47. I like many, am enjoying watching the two of you work and rebuild things together.

Oh man nice work on the El Camino guys. That looks amazing 👌 you guys are doing the right thing by repurposing old parts👍 love that international.

The last conversation I had with my dad was him wanting to build this truck. He was very detailed about what he wanted. 225 slant 6/904 automatic. He preferred the 3 on the tree but had just had hip replacement and couldn't clutch. 2 days later I got the call that he had passed. I want one of these in his honor.

Great to see the ‘46 International again. One of my favorite trucks on anybody’s channel. Can’t wait to see the next video on it!

I can't believe someone would park such an awesome truck over a flat tire!😳

Good job dad

Always a good time seeing what you find I’m in cochise I too am always keeping my eyes open for things like this 👍

Can't believe what a great job your dad did on that Chevy nice

Greetings from West Michigan. I enjoy your videos. Staying tight to a budget and being creative in getting those rusty treasures going again. I especially like the '60 El Camino project. Your Dad, Rick is working some magic with his metalworking skills. Good luck and keep the videos coming. 👍

This has become one of my top 5 favorite channels to watch. I can’t wait to see more about this ‘49 Dodge, and thank you for the updates on the El Camino and the ‘46 International! Keep up the great work!🙂🙂🙂🙂

Kool old skool Dodge, nice patina. I never heard of an 8 volt battery.

Nice to watching you guys working on these classics. keep going with good simple content. greets from belgium ;-)

I never knew there was such a thing as an 8 volt battery. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Can't wait for the return trip for that 49 Dodge! That engine WILL RUN if you take off the head and fix the valves.

I had N 8 volt battery in my 1940 Pontiac. Worked great.

You're so lucky to have this passion to share with your dad!

Kept a can of ether behind my seat for days like you're having. Never failed me.

Awesome channel you dad is doing a great job on El Camino and love that International!

Cool ol' Dodge!! 😍 👍

Loyal follower here. I love what you guys do! A old timer told me about a trick with these Dodge Flat Heads that have been sitting for a long time. Add some ATF down the Carb when cranking it or while it is running not much just a wee bit. I loosens the Valves up usually. I have a 53 Dodge Pilot House Era like yours except it is a 1 ton with a 237 CI engine. A little higher RPMs but you are correct yours should be the 230. 👍👍

You and your pops are a great team love it guys

great video again! keep us up to date with any luck you have finding parts for the cars.

28:12 you have a great channel here - the interaction between you and your dad is amazing. You work on the types of vehicles I love. I hope to hear this old Dodge flat six run soon.

On the Dodge use a 12 volt battery and a resistor to send 8 volts to the coil make the spark a little hotter

Great vid. Halfass Customs have a unique way of getting the compression up for starting. He puts it in gear and drags it around the yard with a forklift for half an hour. Seems to work. Probably would break a bent valve though.

You should drive the truck into a city where fans can go and take a picture with it for only 5 bucks each!

You two need to find an old wrecker, you guys could load it with everything you need to do the job, generator, fuel, first aid kit, snake bite kit, lol. You would look good in a rat rod wrecker.👍

Cool thanks for your time 😊

Great video. Old man has skills doing the metal work on the El Camino . Enjoy your videos

LOVE THE VIDEO,S. YOU AND DAD DO GREAT WORK. TRUCK VIDEO,S ARE GREAT. SAVE THEM ONE AT A TIME. WAITING FOR MORE. THANKS GUYS.

I've got a 48 dodge truck myself. Have yet to wrench on it. Good to see you getting after this one. It's givin me the kick I needed to start on my project. As always great video!

I have a 1939 Ford Delux 4 Dr, I run a 8 vet battery in it. Works great

It's pretty amazing how similar the Dodge is the the IH of the same year. I still own my KB2, like the one you worked on, but no longer own my old 1953 Dodge-same engine as the 49 you're working on now. Both trucks should have a provision for a hand crank through the grille, just below the radiator.

Man you and your dad are doing a great job with the Chanel I'm a true sob and I love the Chanel so keep on keeping on

Keep up with that international truck I can imagened Already. Sharp full restored. Thanks guys.

Cool old truck. We had a B F Goodrich in my old town funny. Thanks from. Sc.

First thing on a points carb car to do. CLEAN THE POINTS. ALWAYS! LOL. GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for the fun! You know that BMW in the background would be a lot more popular and a lot more fun. But keep up the videos!

Your dad did a good job on that quarter panel. Hope to see that truck running soon

If you look at the shackles either a full size Chevy half ton OBS or an S10 shackle should work in replacement for the shackles that are on it right now that are rotted

Love the father and son squabbling haha

As you were panning around, explaining that you were in the middle of nowhere, I was half expecting an AutoZone to appear in the background 😊

Outstanding video 👍👍👍, really liked the updates on the elcomino and the 49. I can see this channel going places. Glad I subbed. Keep up the great work boys. Can't wait for the next video.

Fantastic episode Ur doing a fantastic job

hey travis...what a cool truck!! great job on the el camino rick! im hooked!!!

Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Travis.

Love the looks of the old truck.

So close, If it would have fired up and gone through a heat cycle, I think it would've fixed the compression issue. Nice job on the El Camino too.

Love the oldies but goodies 😊

Boy the tail fin on that El Camino is looking sweet! Keep the videos coming (I subscribed the first time I viewed).

Cool video, love those old trucks

😅 I love you 46 international I have a 41 that’s one of my projects hopefully it’ll be on the road soon good luck with your projects

That starter is a champ !!! 🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Hey Travis Love this channel, and i love the cars and truck thats not rusted out like all the old cars where i'm living, keep up the good work . Gretings from Sweden 😊

Nice job on the body work! You don’t owe anyone an explanation!

Valiant effort Dad Son combination remains me of Indiana Jones movie Love those beauty trucks of yester years

Great job on the el camino an the truck , can wait ones u guys finish does projects. God bless 🙌

Super cool channel 😎 👌 👍 lots of 😍 to you and Dad!!!

Awesome find men

That is 1 beautiful truck. 😂 I'm looking forward to seeing it run.

Subscribed✋🏼. Love your videos. My greeting for your father

I would love to see your dad doin his fabrications.

Cool 2002 in the background, too...

I have a 48 KB2 and a 47 KB1, so, yeah... don't give up on the old binder!

I love the show. Like in Savannah, Ga and have ripped through most of your videos in the last two weeks. You and Rick are great.

These guys know their business!!!

I wouldn't mind living there. I liked the video.

HURRAY for the new tail fin !! Yep, you'll get that '49 Dodge pick up running !!

Great effort guys. Surely it suffers from low compression and definately deserves another more thorough try! Also that old BMW on the background was begging for some attention and would be a nice treat for us European subscribers if you would give that old lady a shot ... You would definately need some metric wrenches for her though😉. Cheers from Greece! Keep up!

Hi guys good idea to reuse old parts to fix another . Cheers mate 🇦🇺

Good Job 👍

I'm an old school guy ... Remember..if that truck is a stick .... You can tow at low speeds and pop that clutch.... Gives you more turn over speed .. saves the old starter... Rolls those pistons over a little faster.... I am surprised nobody does it anymore.... Also with out turning that old slug starter over...you have more power for the plugs...

Better to reuse the door skins for the rear quarters than let the doors rot or get scrapped. Never seen BF Goodrich spark plugs before, that was really cool

Always run your vehicle when jumping the other car I always found this helped a to keep your vehicles batt good but also more power into the vehicle your jumping ..enjoyed the show as always from a car nut in the UK.
