I for one think that Jamie is awesome....very sweet and beautiful woman. You did well to get her for a mate and she gets right in and helps out. Keep on keeping on. I love your show and that you both love the Lord. You both are not afraid to say I love you to each other and mean it....as you say peace out!!

@robertstevison1448 Год назад

Yall have the most awesome collection of true Iron lol I have been a Chevy gmc man my whole life !!! My whole family was Chevy men you have an awesome collection would love to just come there and walk around and get the history of each one

@ClassicTruckRescue Год назад

Right on

@biglon62 8 лет назад

I am so thankful you guys are taking care of all the old iron! It makes me know there are people who still care!

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+malibulon There are actually a lot of people who care about America's old cars and trucks. Most people just aren't in a position to go out and do what I do. It requires a lot of space, a location where you aren't "bothering" anybody. A very, very understanding significant other, and most-importantly, an acceptance of the fact that malls are for normal people and Goodwill is a logical place to buy new clothes since they are going to be worn out very quickly anyway. I provide a service to the public by allowing them to be part of the Classic Rescue experience without having to answer to the neighborhood committee. We appreciate all of our viewers...because amongst other things, they make US feel important. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

My all time favorite Chevy pick-up is a 1957 short step side. Mine had a 327ci and a car 4 speed tranny. I'm still mad at me for trading it off. Your videos are fantastic viewer friendly, about trucks of our youth, we got to see & ride in them when they were new and shiny. Not many Gear heads can make that claim. I remember the first time I rode in my brothers " BRAND NEW " 1965 ford short fleet side, uni-body bright red with white trim & grill & bumpers. I remember the shiny black floor shift stick & how quiet and rattle free it was. Memories like that are PRICELESS .....

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Robert Perrigo Old trucks are all about fond memories of a simpler time. You nailed it my friend. I can still remember riding in the back of our Scoutmasters turquoise 55 Chevy shortbed stepside with the backpacks on our way to summercamp. He had upgraded to a 350 and a car 4-speed and I loved the sound of that dual exhaust and the shifting gears. Thanks again. -Rick

@dadscastironcooking4048 8 лет назад

I loved that she sent the history of the truck and thanks for sharing what you do.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Bob Tater Me too. I thought it was very cool of her to see to it that her Dad's truck went to a good home. Awesome Lady. Thanks Fer Watchin' Bob. -Rick

@VintageTexas59 9 лет назад

Wow, what a great looking truck, he is a big boy indeed and with low miles. Very nice history of previous owner and I'll bet he will be happy his old truck got saved for the future.

@ClassicTruckRescue 9 лет назад

+VintageTexas59 his Daughter was very adamant about making sure this truck wound up at the Classic Truck Ranch. I'm pretty certain she could have gotten more money for it and I'm also sure she knew that. -Rick

@pearsonba350 9 лет назад

I finally figured out why I love watching your videos- I think the history of each truck is awesome. Not just the history you find with the truck, but the history you are making with each and every truck. That is just plain cool. Thanks for making these videos Rick, you and Jamie are alright in my book.

@ClassicTruckRescue 9 лет назад

+pearsonba350 Well, You are alright in our book too. We really appreciate the positive input we get from viewers like yourself. It is motivating and encouraging. Thanks Fer watchin' -Rick

Got yourself a great collection of GM's Rick! I have a couple myself, a '64 GMC pickup factory 4X4 that is currently in restoration and a '61 GMC 5000. Really enjoy seeing these old trucks resurrected again, keep up the great work!

@hudsonhawk0016 4 года назад

I swear when that driver hopped out of the truck I thought it was itchyoldfart56. 🤣🤣🤣. I remember when I was a kid the school bus I took had the bullfrog nose. They were so tough looking.

@Charles77598 7 лет назад

Yes, respectfully Jaime what I call a looker! She seems so nice and has a lot of common sence! That Wendall T truck is looker as well. I can see it all painted up and put some wooden stake sides on that bed. Love your videos, brings back memories when I was young. I am 63 and step dad when I was 12 had Chevy and GMC trucks. His Dad had a 48 Chevy pickup I believe with a narrow bed and 4 speed. Keep up the great videos!

@ClassicTruckRescue 7 лет назад

Compliment taken and appreciated Charles. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

@gosportjamie 7 лет назад

It sounds like Wendell was an amazing man. I'm sure he'd have been absolutely made up to know that Wendell T. GMC is going to be preserved for your pleasure and the pleasure of many other people as he obviously loved and cared for the truck a great deal for it to be in such sound and solid condition after 33 years "resting." You just know that when they were working his trucks would have been some of the cleanest and smartest trucks around in that part of Oregon...

@ClassicTruckRescue 7 лет назад

I agree. Wish I could've met him. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

@Specrotors 9 лет назад

As exciting as it is now with all your trucks there Rick, when you move them to the new property they will take on a new life because the property is all yours, and you will be more relaxed...Have no fear the angels will help you move all of them safely...Stay blessed!!

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

@michaelpullen6812 8 лет назад

While looking for some motivation and ideas for my own 1957 Chevy 3200 project, I came across your video series....awesome! My brothers and I are old truck fanatics down in Texas, but we all spent a lot of time in Central Oregon. I grew up in Sisters and my truck came from the valley...it was bought by my brother in 1977, traded to my Dad, and he eventually passed it to me before he passed away. Seeing the work you do and the fun you both have doing it...your passion is obvious! My Dad was also retired from GM and built many Chevy trucks as a die setter and overhead crane operator. Keep up the great work....I love seeing these historical beasts brought back to life.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Michael Pullen Thank you for your positive, encouraging comment. It is appreciated. Best wishes on your '57 Chevy project. Sounds like we owe your father a debt of gratitude for helping put some neat stuff on the road. thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

@davidwillmon9267 8 лет назад

Rick and Jaime: I don't comment often but felt like something was way overdue. Love your videos and especially the wonderful things you are doing. These old work trucks are certainly worth saving. Hated to see the old 51 900 diesel get sold but surely the buyer is going to have a nice time with that truck. Keep up the good work.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+David Willmon We actually just received a message from "Granpa's" current owner. He sent us a picture of the old guy sitting next to a palm tree in southern California. It ain't over 'til its over my Friend. Thank you, -Rick

@macgvrs 6 лет назад

I got to tell you, I can't believe what you did in a relatively short time, moving all those trucks and preparing the new property. I guess with all that you have going on, it is not surprising that some things are taking longer than you planned. If I were responsible for doing all that I don't think I could have.You're one hard working dude.

Man, that is SUPER COOL !!!! Love the front end on that truck, and it runs and drives? Thank you Wendell and Debbie for keeping it for the CRT Collection! It has certainly found a good home, and will be used for what was intended - work! BTW, I keep checking your inventory for which one I want. Tough choice with so many cool trucks around. :)

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+azautoxr Well, you keep on checking it out, because as you can see, it changes from day to day. When the one with your name on it rolls into the Classic Truck Ranch, give me a shout. In the meantime, Thanks fer watchin' -Rick

@npsit1 8 лет назад

I would love to have one of these old trucks for a daily driver.. Maybe do a body-off resto and put in a diesel or at least an automatic. Maybe upgrade the rear end.. Heat and A/C.. Stuff like that. Way cool.

@jdjeep46 9 лет назад

Love all your big trucks and want to buy one from you eventually.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+1973mk1capri Great suggestion. We will be using Wendell-T GMC to haul things, but I need to go through it bumper to bumper and head to toe first. 33-years in the bush requires some serious aftercare. Gott'a bring them back to life slowly. Thanks Fer Watchin' Paul. -Rick

@SteveTheFordGuy985 8 лет назад

Hello Jamie & Rick, I just love watching you two go get these Trucks. I truly feel that the 1957 thru 59 Chevy and GMC Trucks have such great looking body styles. I love old Trucks Ford & Chevy mostly. I live in Lake Elsinore, California and there is a GMC Flatbed same look as Wendell "T " GMC and it is setting in a dirt lot with a few other cars and Trucks with For Sale signs in them. The closest big city to Lake Elsinore is Riverside Ca not sure how far that is from you of if you would be interested in anymore of the big Trucks or not. I know the big trucks are not going to sell as well as pick up trucks would. I know your business success depends on finding buyers for most of the trucks you find and make deals on so you may not be able to take in to many big trucks at the same time, just wanted to let you know about this one. love you two and wish you all the best and much Success. Steve Lake Elsinore, Ca

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Steve Priest (68-FordMan) Sounds like an interesting truck. I have found that there are quite a few people interested in the bigger trucks. If you happen to be passing by that old guy again, take a moment to snap a few pictures of it and send them to rick@classictruckrescue.com . Sometimes if a truck is too far away to make retrieving it feasible, I can find someone closer to it that's interested. Thanks for the tip and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

@SteveTheFordGuy985 8 лет назад

Classic Truck Rescue Hey Rick, no problem I will get over on the back side of our Lake in the next few days and take some shots of that bad boy and send them to you. Take care bud.

Keep up the good work. Sinserely David from Sweden.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+David Åhman this is the kind of input that is both helpful, and encouraging. Thank you. I will take the advice you and other viewers have offered and include videos of the new property as we make progress on the new Classic Truck Ranch. I think it will be interesting and rewarding to watch what some Faith, hard work, determination and a beautiful piece of land can be turned in to.

@glennbelldc1651 9 лет назад

Fare winds and following seas Wendell! You and your truck is very much respected. We sure love it when they fire up and purr! Did that have tilt bed? If so , some heavy duty ramps and center fold down braces on the ramps with a heavy duty winch you could load a truck on back similar to when you hauled banana rammer.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Glenn Bell It does have a tilt bed and it already has provisions on the back of the bed for the ramps. Look for Wendell T to be hauling some Classic Trucks in the future my friend and Thanks again Fer Watchin' -Rick

@joelmccoin9727 9 лет назад

Hi Jamie & Rick, You guys are very clever in the names you give your trucks, I have been naming my cars/trucks for many years, makes them more a part of the family, I think. I have a question, do you have some kind of house situation for The three of you to live in while you are building the truck ranch? I sure like Wendell, Big ol guy, glad you saved him! Hope your Big move goes well, As always, enjoyed the video, great to see you guys.

@ClassicTruckRescue 9 лет назад

+joel mccoin Naming them also makes it easier to distinguish one truck from another. I do have a pretty nice 5th wheel that I completely restored a couple years ago (Alfa 5th Wheel video). So no, I won't make Jamie and Annabbella sleep in a tent this winter. We aren't kidding ourselves about the fact that some hard work and sacrifice are coming in our immediate future though.

That said, when you graduate in 6-months, feel free to drop me a line, because I will probably be in a position to hire someone at that point and I'm thinking that it is time to start training someone else to be a member of the Classic Truck Rescue team.

Not a mechanic or even close but after you get done your move don't think it would take much to build ramps and install a winch. Love all the trucks but am sort of partial to the heaver duty type. Oh yea tell Jamie she is cool and would really look good behind the wheel of Wendell T cruising down the highway.

@ClassicTruckRescue 9 лет назад

+Jim Krueger That is exactly what I am planning on doing with it. Too bad I didn't notice the perches on the rear for the ramps earlier. They were probably sitting out at the yard where the truck was sitting and I believe everything else got scrapped. We like the big uns too. Thank you, -Rick

@nocturnalpete1 9 лет назад

@Powerplayss 8 лет назад

Rick, I would like to know what you do with the wheels on those trucks? My son just bought a 1958 Viking 60 with a great running 261 I6 and the truck is in really good condition. We would like to find a safer type of wheel to use do you know of any good replacement ? Can the originals be made safe? maybe welding the two parts together? Any suggestions will be appreciated. We really like your collection and will be watching for the new ones, keep up the good work you two.

Unfortunately, I'm the one with all the knowledge and experience when it comes to classic trucks. so if I just film Jamie standing next to them and smiling while I explain what she's standing next to, we'd be in danger of turning into a spin-off of wheel of fortune.....but I'll try to get Jamie in the picture as much as possible because I do agree that she's easier on the eyes than I am. If you need more spice in your life, I recommend "Pico-Pica"...I put that stuff on EVERYTHING! Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

It's a shame that big three don't care to make trucks the way they use to back when these where made they wanted these trucks to last for years , little did them know that what they made would last for ever they all should look back and take a lesson .

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Rusty rods, Jamie and I were just talking about that yesterday. It was a different world and a different America back when these trucks were being built. People took a lot of pride in what they built. You are very correct. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

I know time is short right now but after you have settled into your new place I think it would be cool if you did a picture video of your collection. If you did four shots of each truck covering all sides and post the truck's name, the year and model, when and where ya got it, and maybe the status. Ya know it's getting so your viewers need a program. Just an idea. Oh and Queen said another one bites the dust but in this case another one saved from rust.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+MostlymoparIH another one saved from rust...I like that. I also like your inventory idea and will use that on the classictruckrescue.com website as soon as we get the move done. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' my friend. -Rick

Hi mate. Thanks for the video. That is an other very nice truck that you have got there. I was wondering, are all the trucks petrol powered or are some diesel? I love diesels, and think that trucks in general should be diesel powered. What are you going to do with all of those bigger trucks? they are going to take up a lot of space on the new site. Are you also going to have a line up of trucks at the new location? I hope you do well mate, I have the feeling that both you and Jamie deserve that. I know that you like to thank a higher power, but know that most of what you have is earned by hard work, it was not given.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Marcel Timmers right now, the only diesel powered trucks we have are Jamie's black Ford (Gopher), and my 'Boomer" project truck that Intermountain Innovations is currently doing all of the fabrication work on. What I'm going to do with all of the bigger trucks is use them for the purpose they were built, which is work. We use the 'Bullfrog" dump truck, "Tinker", 'Old Yeller" and 'Old Macdonald" all the time. I'm sure we will use "Wendell-T" to move trucks and tractors also. We will also have a line-up of trucks at the new location, but it will not be visible from the street. World's getting a bit too odd to leave all that candy dangling out there. We will be making the new Classic Truck Ranch a much more interactive and enjoyable experience for our customers, family and friends, but it will be a much less enjoyable for people who steal puppies and parts. (some of my long-time viewers will understand that). As for my Higher power, I call Him God. I don't beat people over the head with Him, but He is with me daily and I can appreciate what you said, it really IS a lot of hard work, but Philippians 4:13 says that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Thank you for your positive input and your good questions. Mostly, Thanks Fer Watchin', we really do appreciate our viewers. -Rick

@marceltimmers1290 8 лет назад

Hi mate. Good on you. I hope all your plans will come through. At least in the US you can still follow your dreams without too much council/local government input.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Marcel Timmers I agree. America is by no means perfect, but I do love my country and appreciate the freedom we have here. Thank you, -Rick

@wgoldenny 9 лет назад

how does the dealer or transporter insurance and plates being you have a large inventory of trucks would work for you? Rather than flat tow or bang bar tow being that they run...

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+wgoldenny We will figure all of that out when we get the new building up on the new property. I am thinking that Classic Truck Rescue needs to go the non-profit organization, preservation/museum route. Thank you, -Rick

Greetings from the Northwestern United States. I don't have a list of the 100 best boleros and the Google search you should use to find such a list will require a more specific definition. There are multiple meanings for the word "Bolero".

Hi Wendell I have been looking at most of your video's of these lovely old Chevrolet & GMC wreckers & i would love to be in your position to buy & restore these trucks. Could you reply to me if any of thse could be bought, as i would love to buy some of them from you & have them shippe to me in the UK where i would take great pleasure in restoring these back to their previous condition. I have always loved American trucks but most of all the old classic trucks. I look forward to your reply.Many thanks ,BRIAN MAYHEAD.

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

Most of the trucks I have are for sale Brian. Most of my customers tell me exactly what kind of truck they want and I find it for them. If you would like to get information on my trucks, or any trucks you'd like me to find, you can go to the Classic Truck Rescue Facebook page and send me a private message and I will respond with my phone number. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

@dcformee123 9 лет назад

I think you need to invest in some kind of a car car cover / truck cover for tinker I think he deserves to be covered if you can't keep him in the garage he's too nice to be getting sunbaked!!

@ClassicTruckRescue 9 лет назад

+spackmaster Chavez I already have temporary shelter arranged for Tinker until I get the new building up. You are absolutely correct sir. Thank you, -Rick

@dcformee123 9 лет назад

I mean where else are you going to find a truck with 36,000 miles. I mean my 2010 Lincoln has has 48000 miles on it so there you go you ain't going to find something with that low of mileage that clean very often especially in such a unique vehicle you know you might find a Camaro or Corvette or something like that but not an old truck

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+spackmaster Chavez I totally agree with you. Trust me, I do not take Tinker for granted. I am aware of what a rare and beautiful truck that is. So how about if I get out there and build him a new barn? I am not a big fan of car covers in Oregon weather and I will get Tinker under cover. I did not choose to be cheated out of my lease on our current location, but I am grateful that it happened, because we never would have found 25 acres of paradise that God was saving for us if it hadn't happened. Tinker is like Jamie, Annabella, myself and all the other trucks. We have to sacrifice a little to make the dream happen, but we will all be better off in the end. When the dust settles, we will all be happier, safer and more secure on land that we own and can't be ordered around on. Thank you for your concern for Tinker. I get it. He needs to be inside. And he will be. thank you, -Rick

@dcformee123 8 лет назад

Rick I don't want you to think I'm mad at you or anything because I'm not I understand how it is to rent and get booted out been there done that it sucks! But all you could do is move on you guys got your property I was just saying as a temporary fix some kind of a car cover I know I live in Medford so I get the rain all the time in Oregon. I know they have car covers that are waterproof that might be just something temporary some sort of TARP I know tarps when the wind blows will mess up the paint on them car that's why I don't like tarps they start flapping and they make marks on the paint. But I understand please don't get me wrong I am not mad at you at all just that's a special truck as you know I just don't want to see the paint! It's such a beautiful truck and I bet its very rare.

@ClassicTruckRescue 9 лет назад

+Brandon Clarke Nope, just you. Brandon, are you a video editor or something? Because I know my videographer skills are less than stellar. Good point as usual though. I do make the 'Outro" louder intentionally, but did not intend for the "Intro" to be louder. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

@dark_canada 9 лет назад

Classic Truck Rescue not really a video editer i just screwed around with different programs from time to time and i pick up things from my friends that edit videos

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Brandon Clarke Well, then you know that we will always be improving. I do realize that I could spend more time on my videos and that there are a lot of things I could do to improve them. Just try to bear with me for now and understand that I am also the guy on the other side of the camera, loading trucks, dragging them out of the bushes, and doing his best to make them run again. I do listen to your advice though, and it is helpful. If there is a suggestion you guys make that makes sense, I do my best to put your advice into action. Thanks for your positive input and Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+Tristan Baker if you are talking about the big 57 Chevy 6500 truck, that video will have to wait. It is a truck that I have hung onto just because I can't bring myself to disassemble because it actually ran and drove when I got it, but I discovered that it has Bondo on it that is several inches thick. It has Bondo on its Bondo. It IS Bondo. I think I just named that truck "Bondo". No video on that one until I can come up with a happy ending for it.

I WAS a DIE HARD Chevy fan UNTIL I worked on them a few years ago after retiring, ChevyGMC Trucks LESS than 6 years old....Brakes lines RUSTED Nearly in two!!. Speedo not working?? Oh a RASH of bad instrument panels no problemo..just buy a NEW one for nearly 400 bucks!!. Doors wouldn't open...latches not working wiring screw ups BIG TIME Computer problems...Diagnosis??GM Trucks are JUNK!!! Buy a FORD or DODGE...

@ClassicTruckRescue 8 лет назад

+packingten Well, I think the Chevy and GMC trucks that I specialize in were built pretty well. I can't speak for the newer ones, because to be honest, I can't afford one. Classic Truck Rescue is just that. CLASSIC Truck Rescue. We love ALL Classic trucks and don't say that a 50 to 60 year old truck sucks because we have a bad experience with a truck that was built recently. We WILL buy a Ford, or a Dodge, or a Studebaker or International....but we will also continue to buy Chevy and GMC trucks. We buy Classic Trucks. We save Classic Trucks. We love Classic Trucks. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Peace-Out! -Rick
