It can be the heat of summer or the cold of winter. It doesn't matter if Dylan just crawled out from under a dirty old car or if he's been working in the garage all day. Hands down, Dylan has the best hair of any mechanic I've seen.
WatchJRGo gets a shop, JunkyardDigs gets a shop, now Dylan gets a shop. Let's get Dylan to 500K subscribers and then he can have some more money to build his shop.
You know Derrick is at home going you need to use a big Tonya Harding on the carb while having some cold snacks. makes a feller feel like he has seen this before
20 years difference between this 1979 and my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. Wish mine still had that old Chrysler Corp. Whine! I always liked that sound from many Moons ago. Who else is with me here?
You could tell the type of car by the starter. Dodge had the whine gm had a low growl and ford was a quick spin but fairly quiet sounds of a car guy childhood
There's a trick to pulling out stumps. Run your chain over a large tire and to your bumper. It changes the angle of pull from horizontal to a pull up and out. There are videos on it out there, good luck!
@@davelewandoski4292 On the flip side my grandpa had an 81 Custom Deluxe that would swarm on him every time he cussed it. He learned to talk nice to it no matter how often it pissed him off.
Lovely to see the Dodge again and in the hands of a owner who will enjoy it. Shop plans are fantastic, wishing every success with the build. Best wishes and looking forward to seeing more updates
When I saw this truck I thought “Man that looks just like the truck Derek from VGG just revived.” Then when you said you bought from him I smiled so big LOL
Be careful when you're trying to pull down trees with a chain and a truck. I knew a guy who was killed when he tried that and the chain snapped, came through the back window, struck him in the neck and almost chopped his head clean off.
To pull it out from the root you gotta go low. But even some tractors have problems pulling a tree like that. They have a good root system. An the ground is a bit frozen too.
I fell in Love with Mopar starters as A Lil kid. Grandpa had a 1984 New Yorker 5th avenue . 318 4bbl. It was a Cream Puff ...I traded it for an 87 iroc.... Should have kept the New Yorker.
Had a 72 with the 318, rusted out fenders drove it from Hutchinson Ks to Oxnard California in 1979. Best truck I ever owned. Carb linkage froze up (with actual ice) going into New Mexico, put some Heat in it, no further issues. Went through Flagstaff in a blizzard, I was the only truck around. The truck just handled it. 318's are so underrated..
I've had a 1979 Dodge Adventurer SE short fleetside sitting in a friend's field for about 13 years now. That wasn't the plan but with retirement only a year or two away, I plan to make it a project to while away the hours on. Nice to see you get your longbed up and running so quickly.
Just a little more than 40 years ago (early '80s) I had the piviledge of driving a very similar D100, non step-side, 3 speed clutch in a faded yellow dressing. There was a specific way to cold start this cold blooded D100, I don't recall today how exactly to be assured of a first time crank start but I do remember most often you'd start rolling in second gear. Only using the 'granny' 1st gear for a start on an incline. This is an awesome truck for you to have on your property, so glad to see it is getting used and ran after such a long hiatus at slumberville.
Love seeing your projects Dylan. I still haven’t forgotten to send you those pictures of our challengers the one is just sitting under a foot or two of snow 😂😂
That is awesome you got to love these old trucks and I really dig the 8ft Stepside I had been looking for my 81 but decided to go for utility bed because they’re so hard to find. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this man
You took me back to my childhood, listening to that starter in my dad's '77 D100 every winter morning while pouring gas into the carb trying to get him to work. I hated it when he filled the gas tank, I'd get car sick from the fumes of the behind the seat tank. Man I hated that truck.
First seen this over on Derek channel. Like the truck and the video, so I hop over to your channel. Man can not believe it. There was the truck. So glad you going to restore it, love these old trucks, my grandfather had one of these trucks back when I was a kid. A slant six D100. It was a ‘76 with three on the tree and manual everything. No power steering or power brakes. 😀
My best friend of decades had a 79 D100 4x4 with 3/4 ton suspension and 360, we had so much fun with that, and it handled the western South Dakota winters like a champ... Only issue was it needing an engine rebuild every 80-100K miles. He later picked up a 78 ext cab 4x4 with 318 and 4 speed, and that thing was a trash heap, was almost useless in the winter.
Congrats on the new large nice plot of land!I hope you get the shop built asap.I would recommend a 75 Ford 4x4 with a 390 for pulling stumps next time🤠I had almost lost my faith in you as a woodsman until you brought out the axe😂You can't really get a deep respect for the woods until you chop down an oak or hickory tree the old fashioned way!
OK I now MUST play " Jesus built my Hot Rod" by Ministry ( Redline/Whiteline version with the 440), after every one of Dylan's videos ( with total respect). Who's with me? Glad to see the truck in your hands!
I love 318's. They may be little, but they're some tough engines and pretty well bulletproof. Pappy bought Dodge Charger new in '71 and drove it from West Tennessee to Louisville, KY actually trying to blow it up and couldn't do it. We kept it until 1984 and sold it 6 months before I got my driver's license...I was crushed and have wanted one ever since...with the 318 :)
I don't know how to drive manual. The way that thing was jumping on the road would've scared the crap out of me. lol. It seems like a pretty good truck for what it is. It really wanted to get that tree out too. Good luck with your new shop!
I love your channel dude. out of all the revival channels and your close friends, your channel is super relaxing. I would love to make a similar channel but with older VWs but i dont really have the money of patience to deal with them hahah.
I'm not sure why I'm not subscribed. I like a lot of your content, I always love when a Dodge dies, you think it'd be a natural fit. The world may never know.
Hey Dylan! Here's some winter driving tips from a Canadian 2wd pickup truck driver. First of course would be tires; althought I don't think your part of the world should necessitate dedicated snow tires, tire chains would have been the ticket for what you where doing. Number 2, weight in the bed over the axle, around 300 to 500 lbs (I put about 300lbs in my 1998 2wd Ranger) that way you get more pounds per square inch of contact patch, helping traction. Third, high wheel speed is your enemy; spinning tires melt the ice and snow and make your crappy tires even more slippery! I usually give it just enough gas to prevent the engine from stalling, giving the tire some time to bite in the ground and get traction. And last, for anyone who wants to daily a 2wd pickup yearly including proper snowy conditions, a LSD is the only way to go! Never again will I drive a 2wd open diff truck in the winter now that I've seen the difference! Looking forward to seeing more of this truck, cheers!!!
Glad to see it back on the road again. I been a subscriber since before you bought the green 69 Charger. Have you ever planned to try to find a Dodge Little Red Express Truck and do a revival video on it? I love the looks of those trucks but have never seen anyone do a revival video on one.
DYLAN, To help your slick tires in the mud, hang snow chains on them. That's what old time loggers used to do. You need to pull those trees down. Use a long chain or strap & connect to the tree as high up as you can reach. this will give you leverage. Then, Tug on the chain in easy short pulls of bumps. The tree will come down little by little stump & all. Remember you have to snap the roots. !
This one would make a good resto series, given how rare the long flareside bed is...and how far gone it is. New clutch, new rockers/cab corners/floors, new bed, and restore the rest to original yellow Local Authority condition with a mechanical amber beacon on the roof. Just an idea 🙂 Love your vids, they brighten many a dull day. Thank you!
We are going to have to send out a New Englander to help you with ice and snow. I'll bring a plastic ice scraper and some chains. Like your series. Good stuff.
I love this truck & could listen to that gear-reduction starter crank all day long. Just a tune up & a carb rebuild are all it needs to run good as new now that the fuel pump has been replaced. I definitely want a 1977 Dodge D-200 4X4 since I like these old dodge trucks & was born in 1977. The last vehicle my dad owned before he died was a ironically a 1977 Dodge D-100 with an 8' bed, 318 2-bbl V-8 , & automatic transmission.
Little advice for winter driving, keep your front wheels strait, because when the wheels are turned the diffential wants to make one tire spin faster when trying to turn, also go with the lowest gear and keep it just off idle while feathering the brakes to help get going, the idea is to make your rear end function as a limited slip for a second where it will transfer power equally to both tires
Good to see you actually got the old Dodge from VGG back on the road. A suggestion for the next time you're at the parts store, pick up an ice-scraper...
great videos....after being a die hard dodge fan from Fargo trucks to darts to polaras to anything dodge, i have learned that if the hood doesn't close, check your hood release lever inside the cab and push it back in all the way, famous for the cables stretching.
