What the hell is wrong with you man you using the timing like to set a time on a big block Chevy what happened your ear meter it doesn’t work or are you just a poser I can do that with my shirt and one of your plugged up
Just a tip when you’re in a dilapidated vehicle that has no brakes set your phone to avoid highways in the a longer trip but you’re better off I’m breaking down and get your shit towed
JD has great camera skills, he make the channel so good. He always gets the right shot and always pans to dad just as he says something stupendous, or just plain stupid.
I love how you involve your son. He has a great dad.. thanks for being a good example to all of us, and for the incredible content. Let's get this guy to 100k followers.
Reminds me a lot of my dad just with a lot less swearing and I don't think I've heard him say "Now don't tell your mother about this". That was a pretty common phrase from my childhood.
After seeing you on JYD’s channel I’ve been on a binge watching the videos. It’s great to see you and your son wrenching away on this ol rusty metal. Not only are you teaching him life long skills, your making memories that will last him a lifetime. What your doing with him is what I wish I was able to do growing up. Great job and look forward to seeing future videos.
Thought I'd share this, I showed my wife the holey goat 2,000 mile trip video the other night. She thinks the car and what did did with it is cool, but her biggest takeaway was "it's a good thing he loves JD. That boy looks just like him, starting to talk and sound like him, he could never deny that kid. Nice to see a father give a damn about his son." (Her kids father could care less so her kids are basically my kids) hope that brought a good laugh to you, now onto the video lol
It's sad to see those "fathers" going out to get milk and cigarettes and never coming back. Noticed it's a growing issue nowadays. 👎Keep doing what you're doing!
It’s always worth fixing up these square bodies. And no you don’t have to do a full restoration to make it look good,but whatever you do to it it will be worth it 😁😁👍👍
When I first got my license the truck I drove everywhere was a '78 H.D. 3/4 ton Chevy. Wasn't lucky enough for it to be a big block, just a stock 350 but with 4:10 gears it was still a beast, at the gas pump anyway. The next time you get one with the thermostat stuck open in cold weather make a winter front from a cardboard box. It'll make a world of difference in the heat in the cab. Just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago, lovin it. Keep up the good work.
So far, it looks like swanny just says, "You're coming with me." Be careful pulling stumps. You might drag your property through two different counties. Great video, thanks to both of you
26:42 You don't see proper overland trains very often, and there's two in a row - an Overland train convoy! Looks like you picked a good truck to fill the shoes, er, tires of the OG Farm Truck. Long live square bodies!
Sounds like a good shop/work truck. You have a plow you can add to the front for snow, not sure how much it snows in your area or not. The Fairlane would be a cool project to work on, I always liked those cars.
Hey. Also joined as a member just now. I came across your channel about 13 months ago and have enjoyed it ever since. I wish you and your family all the best Dalton. F VGG!
That's an awesome find. So... how about a better truck box and front fenders, and fix the holes in the floor? Plus a good tidy would be awesome. It's not every day you come across a 3/4 ton square body 454 4x4. Cheers.
Someone here already mentioned how at an advanced age we older guys can't imagine doing this kind of thing with the temps heading towards single digits. I concur. Youth has its advantages. I see JD has had a growth spurt. JD is getting to be a fine looking capable and confident young man. Dal'un you have to have a smile on your face when you see how he's coming into his own, wholesome, with a sponge-like attention to your tutelage and respectful of his pop (even when things go south on a difficult task. Good on you Dal'un for how you respect JD's opinion and how you guide him in the proper and not so proper ways of doing things. Perspective is important. Giving a boy the experience you give JD in the off handed but meaningful way you convey the message is the truest gift of a father. It's good to see how in this way that message has been absorbed. Congrats to you both especially in a time so full of the fragility found in the listless currently young out-of-touch-woke-coasters of this epoch. p.s. Dal'un aren't you going to install the hand made engine puller on the bed of Swanny, or do have it elsewhere (in mind)?
Another great video! I love your channel, still keeping it real. There are too many channels I used to watch that are now all sponsored, they buy all the newest parts to just throw on the 100 cars they now own...Keep it up the way you are doing it for as long as you can!
This is an awsome find, I'd love to see you maybe patch up the floors and the body panels alittal, ya know self tappers and all.. lol.. great farm truck, cant beat those old 454's.. love it!
These videos remind me a lot of growing up doing the same thing with my dad and grandfather but it was a lot more Oldsmobile and boats we were fixing up near the St.Louis area really cool to see the younger generation still wanting to do this stuff
In my opinion that truck is in really good condition for as old as it is. I would definitely fix the loud exhaust for sure other then that I am not sure. I always enjoy the father and son bonding atmosphere you have on your channel teaching him about working on vehicles is a great thing
The first inch that truck moved, I thought..... "I bet Dalton will do donuts while test driving it" 💯 Too cold, too far from home...... Dalton please just this one time, put it on a trailer! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I might be a little silly, I saw K20 and 2.0 in the thumbnail and thought someone honda swapped a chevy truck, which would have been the best thing ever
Dalton, thanks for sharing a new video. You and JD are really growing this channel, and that takes a lot of hard work. I am glad to be a member. You are the only channel I support each month.
I realize how you got "swanny" but that truck deserves a name like "farmageddon" tough as hell but just a little rough! Great channel and love seeing your boy in all the action!
Exactly, that what it is, its a truck! a damn truck and a truck is for work. Its for hauling things around. its not for siting in the driveway just so you can look at it. These things help build America that's what they were fore.
The new farm truck is real nice, it honestly reminds me of the times I have gone to a junkyard to get parts for my project and found a vehicle thats nicer in almost every single way than what I actually own. I might say to patch the floors with a panel from that blue van and put some used tires on it but other than that, it is real nice. Also I hope you get caught up on work because I am sucker for mustangs and that 70' looks like an awesome time, maybe wait till it warms up a bit though.
I say, get it to be driven in comfort and stop. Keep the Farmtruck style but get it to be comfortable and reliable to drive into town, etc. Man, your getting so lucky with these die hard never quite vehicles that you run into by accident. Thanks for keeping things fun and real, the viewers appreciate it👍💪😎
Love it!!! It brings me back to my childhood, playing with cars and trucks with my dad, your an awesome dad, showing your boy ,love watching you and him working, thank you from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦
You're a great Dad! BTW, tractors work better on stumps in my experience..that truck is too nice for stump pullin'. Glad you made the trip with it! Good video!
I realize that working on a vehicle in freezing ass weather makes for good content, but man! I just can't do that anymore. But then I'm old! Trailer that stuff home!! Isn't your PBG cold enough? Great video!! Great farm truck!?!?! With a little self tapper body work it'll be perfect! 👌
Man you guys are bringing back so many good memories only difference was the thing I was bringing back to life was going to be my daily. Couldn't weight to get it home and start playing with it lol .love the content keep it coming have a awesome day
It looks like you have acquired a nice work truck. It does drag stuff around your property pretty well. It does need a correctly installed sturdy rear bumper though.
That's a wicked nice truck! Awesome find for sure! 🤘 Doesn't matter what ya do with it, but it should definitely be kept around for a bit! Thanks for sharing 😎
Nice to buy a truck and put it straight to work. I'd probably put a light bar front and rear, and a receiver hitch or something more solid to hook to the back.
I’m early to a new video! lol Found your channel recently. Watched the entire GOAT series in a day and I’m a fan. You’re 1 of 3 main people I watch. VGG, UTG, and now you! Keep it up man!
I inherited my grandpas 78 GMC K25. The most beautiful truck I’ll ever own. I poured At least $8k into it and still have allot of work. I’m also a fan of the Fall Guy and bought the winch mount and roll bar.
Reminds me of my first truck I got at 16 Lmao it was defiantly a two man operation to get it started. Right before I ended up selling I wired in a push button starter in the engine bay so I could man the choke and start it at the same time😂
Who needs brakes? I mean they only slow you down. That engine sounds great! The bed has lots of weight reduction. The fender wells are weight reduced too. That looks like a good farm truck.
Great-looking truck Dalton. 454 with full-time 4 wheel drive you should be getting about eight miles to the gallon 😂 I know because I had a 77. Do a little body repair and a quick paint job and work that baby like she should. This is a great video 👍✌️🇺🇲
Really my 65 F250 4X4 only got that in 2 WD with locking hubs. It was 4.56 gears though, lol 390 FE making 500/500 with a Holley 750 might have been the problem.
