Big Block 4x4 Shorty Van LIVES! The BEAST 

I love this show. Whoever had the idea to cast a kid in the adult role is a genius.

Best car show on RU-vid period. The average person doesn't want to watch someone put a small fortune into another car every week. No one watching can afford that. This is for everyone. Love it man. Keep up the good work.

"Cross-threading, Nature's Loctite" should be on a PBG t-shirt!!! I'd buy it!!!

Haha "well it was nice hanging out with you guys" right after the van runs into the wall.

You know it's gonna be a good episode when at a minute in Dalton says "don't ever do this", then proceeds to "do it". 😂

"When I was your age, we didn't even have oxygen" 🤣the calamity, remarks, statements and sketchiness (just hope OSHA doesn't see this video) were hilarious! JD, dad moved that oil, not you. Accidents happen. Great video Dalton!

Love to see JD crawling around under the van with a welder, makes my heart happy

JD did alot of work on this. He always does work hard. I'm glad to see that some children would rather hangout with their dad and learn how to fix things than play Xbox all day. Good for you JD.

No one can appreciate more Dalton going full send on those sketchy welds and steering set up. But now the 4x4 van is complete. We can always fix our poor choices later. Viva la Van!

As a U.S. Navy welder of 24 years I whole heartedly approve of ALL welding methods and metal fabrication utilized in this production!!! (I'm also two boiler makers in at this point)

One of the cool things is 39 years from now when JD is telling garage war stories with his buddies of crazy things he and his dad pulled off he will have video proof . Love this channel and how you keep doing the impossible

What impresses me the most is how you never just settle for good enough and go the extra mile and never rush to complete a task. I appreciate the fact that all ASE protocol is followed and safety is always first or at least acknowledged. And proper tools used and never a substitute used. I love your channel and I know what love is...I was married for 3 weeks once.

"don't hit it hard, but just enough" seems to be the key to most any successful build

“Fits pretty good now”. Part falls off car to floor. - comedy gold

“You can trust me, I’m on the internet.” 😂😂😂

Gotta love lifting with your lower back. Such a great time you'll remember it 30 years later while tryin to go up the stairs!

That moment when you told JD that he should weld that bracket up, ‘you’ve got this’ and he started grinning was pretty cool. That’s a core memory for him now

We dont need sleep when dalton gives us a 4x4 van episode 😂

Your son is so smart and learning new things everyday with a dad that takes the time to explain everything. He looks just like you poor kid lol. Working with your dad is a gift. That keeps giving your hole life. Good luck.

Thanks Daulton, now I'll be in the "oval office" a bit longer early this morning. And I couldn't be happier. Except for my left leg, which is asleep now.

Brake line flaring tool: SUR&R PFT409

Editing,commentary, and hackery is what keeps me coming back. Thanks

JD's snark is getting better and better. Learning from the best!

I did a similar thing when I changed the oil on my truck. Told myself "self... you need to move that pan from under the tires or you will run over it!" Naturally, I ran over it, crushed it and spilled 3 quarts of oil in my driveway. Oh well, back to the earth from whence it came. Hilarious video and heck of a job getting this machine moving!

As someone who completely useless with a socket set I find any of these programmes utterly incredible

JD's Chief Mechanic skills are improving. He's solving problems and making adjustments to make something work, dang, that kid is working better than a lot of adults out there. Way to go JD on becoming an efficient worker! Dad must be proud 🥲 of your increased skill levels. Good job crew! Anyway, thanks for the video 📸.

I love the old school vans. 4X4 and lifted is GREAT !!!

I really enjoyed this van "series". Most RU-vidrs would drag the shit out of it and make us watch the spraypaint dry. Great editing! Very entertaining.

Take that beast to Power Tour 2024.

You know I woke up today thinking I needed a project suddenly a 4x4 van seems like a perfectly reasonable idea

I enjoy watching you and your son having fun working on stuff nobody else would fool with

Epic statement "Can't fix that today, so lets go get it stuck somewhere" love it

I love the flight of the Valkyrie playing on the grand voyage!

Here we go. 1:03:23 of fun is about to commence... The first laugh is the wrench reinforcement welding. 19mm is actually one of the more useful 'standard' sizes here, along with 15, 13 and 10. The surgeon-like finesse you apply to the floor reshaping procedure has me in awe. Incredible foresight and planning going on. If it works, is it wrong? JD never fails to impress with what he has learned and is learning. His welding is infinitely better than mine has ever been. He is a major player on the channel, with his skillset getting larger with every job he does. He is becoming quite the master, and I am not aware of any other young man with such a willingness to work and learn. Ooooh foreshadowing. I am wondering what the mistake in moving the oil father will be. YOu sure know how to keep an audience captive, Dalton. Aaaaah, that's what it was. Oops. I'm amazed that the rear drum assembly came off. Seeing how crusty it was looking, I assumed you were in for a fight. Was it worry about being able to stop or a haircut? Those tires are an interesting choice, lol. Damn the postage charges to the UK to hell. I'd love to buy merch and give you some support :-( There may be someone on its way to your PO box, though. The way you make things fit and work is crude but clever all at once. I love the way your mind works, and you overcome issues when they arise rather than obsessing about them beforehand and causing yourself stress when it is not needed. Neil Approved. Man, seeing it reverse out of the garage was a brilliant sight to behold. You only went at pulled it off, Dalton. When you were talking about this project, I thought you were mad and that there was no way on earth you could make it happen. I am super impressed that you did it. I wish I was your neighbor. In case you did not see my post on Insta, this is a copy and paste of my ideas for a name for the van; "It looks brilliant. I'm not sure if you're very good or just a Vandal. A couple of name suggestions for it, if I may. It was out for revenge on the other two vans and settled the score, a Vandetta has been fulfilled. Or, it has sucked the life of the other two, making it a Vanpire. Or it was able to Vanquish the other two. Paint it white for the obvious Vanna White. I'll stop now; my head hurts."

I've never seen such a creative use of self tappers. Can't wait for your next project.

This channel makes me chuckle from start to finish, Dalton, you are a beautiful human being 😆

Ride of the valkyries nothing could be more fitting for a tiny puny van rising from the ashes and finding it's true inner beast and ascending through the gates of valhalla

At least your barn floor now has extra rust protection 😅😂

I absolutely love that van!!!! Too cool!!!

It makes my day when a new episode comes out!

So happy you went back with that wheel and tire package! It just looks so good on that van.

This was one of the VERY best PBG productions of all time. Absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. Thank you Dalton & JD and all included in this.

That thing needs to become a 4x4 A-Team Van.

JD never fails to impress. “You’re welding this kid!” Shrugs and says OK.

12:53 tip of the decade for dropping in your distributor and getting it to point at number 1 without having to stick screwdriver down the oil shaft hole. Works on any Chevy based oil pump. Just lift up the distributor until you feel the gear disengage. Turn the rotor back a little bit like one post on the cap. Drop the distributor back down and see if the rotor goes where you want. It may take a few tries but the gear will turn the pump for you so you’ll never have to turn an oil pump with a screwdriver ever again.

Jess' Comment "How do you tack a Dalton?" with a pick of those tracks would make a great T-Shirt

The look of confidence mixed with terror as you drove down the driveway. Just what you want

Take the old square headlights from the other van and some wires and set them as bumper mounted fog lights

Man I love what Kevin smith did with all his movie money everyone needs to watch this guy! What a legend

I love this channel. It’s truly a crime that you’re not up to half a million subs yet. I don’t think many of my Facebook friends would be interested, but I’m gonna share some of your stuff anyway. I’m a Brit & I spend my days rebuilding vintage engine magnetos, I pride myself in making them look (& function) better than new. But secretly I just love this kinda stuff, you should see my daily driver, it was basically the cheapest thing I could find at short notice, it’s mechanically functional & I know just how far I can push it. I wish I had more space for a project car (or two). Keep up the good work man, & please don’t go all up market when your channel really takes off.

Whenever the apocalypse happens, can i be on your team to survive the wasteland mad max style? As this van shows pro levels of butchery and im all for it 😂

Awesome 4 X 4 van and the best part is that it actually runs!

It Go's to show that all you need to rebuild a vehicle is a death wheel and self tapers and no dang metric wrenches lol 😅 keep up the great work Dalton 👍

Can’t beat the sound of a big block!

Wow!!!!! She’s a beauty. You guys knocked it outta the park with this project👍🏻 Thanks for sharing🙂

This is the exact van I daydreamed about having when I was a teenager and it was brand new. JD is epic!

Gotta admit, never in my life have I seen an old school van with a stance like that. I LOVE IT!!

Love how 4 by 4 is so important !

I think “FrankenVan” would be an appropriate name for your new toy. I can’t believe the hood fits😂😂. Great job PBG.

I was just watching the D100 revive, clean, flip and realized it would be awesome to see you let JD pick a cheap car, buy it for him, let him figure out what it needs, fix it, clean it, and flip it. Kids got some brains and with a little guidance I bet he could make some good choices and do the work. Would be an awesome little series.

"𝙸T MOVES!!!" While it's old blood is slowly seeping across the floor lol

Man, a heated shop with a lift You've earned it, bro. Hope it comes soon I'm going to support you

Oh shit the Holey Goat shirt is hollerin' my name. Should have a check coming Fri, will report back!

that should be named the BEAST..I love the music when you pulled out of the garage..Great to see JD grow up with a wonderful education..Thanks for the entertainment!

Well I was gonna go to bed, but dalton is here to keep me entertained… it’s only 3am after all… 😂😂 sleep when you’re dead!

So awesome to see JD welding nice skill to aqquire

When a father & son can build mischief 4 mayhem, that's priceless! Woot!!

When I was a wee lad, I used to cut hot wheels cars apart and super glue a bunch together to make customs... This brings me right back.

I think Junior will become a class A gearhead. He is well on his way.

i've been waiting for this since ludwig showed up, i'm pumped. shes great as is but the possibilities are endless for making her even better.

Love watching you guys JD stepping up and do and do one more and more.

Best rig built to date for sure!!!! Love that van

YOU DA MAN! HELLOF A JOB, BRAVO!

"Reverse is neutral, drive is 2nd and park is reverse. And don't mess this up Trevor this is my home."

The van turned out fantastic! Definitely worth hittin' the merch shop for the channel! Stay warm out there!

Flight of the Valkyries. You’re my damn hero Dalton.

That is one hell of a job. White spokes and bias ply just like we used on our farm trucks back in the 80's

Great job Jess on your sewing skills.

I love the Pole Barn Engineering. Better than factory.

JD is becoming my favorite character !

The cross member work was truly world class. Inspiring. Going out to buy a bigger sledge hammer now.

Your son is going to be an amazing mechanic.

I love those old school 4x4 VANS!!!!!! Wish I had one. Maybe someday 😊

Now it needs a brush guard and a KC light bar😂 I love it!!!

Honestly, that van is a beast and I would drive it any day of the week here in Australia.

The white wagon wheels and the vintage look mud tires are the best look!

It lives! Well needs a " few tweaks", but its done. Congradulations! Zip screws to the rescue! Looking forward to updates

I love the rapid descent into acceptance of "good enough" throughout the project. The epitome of all of my projects.

Don't give up on the van it's a cool build especially with a big block

If this doesn’t scream American ingenuity, I don’t know what does. “Hold my beer “, “send it”, and “hey y’all watch this!” all rolled into one awesome video.

Marvelous masterpiece of butchery! It all works and nobody needs to know how! Love it!

Dalton, you surely are the Master of Back-Yard Butchery! I love watching your shenanigans(most of the time). Hope JD grows into a somewhat respectable Mechanic!

Always enjoy hanging out with you guys.

that rig is bad ass.. Thank you for saving it!

Just picked up a Holey Goat shirt so you DON'T LOSE THE SHOP! Great video!

Hello,, well much like the of the 931 folk's. I certainly have fun watching your fixing, building, fabricating and your adventures. You got yourself kinda stuck there playing in the mud!!!! It is and always was a issues with those types of hub's. For whatever mechanical reason they just do that and there you are no front wheel drive when you need it most!!! Amazing job you did at fabricating the mounting of the transfer case, crossmember! Love the headlight assembly!!! OMG,,, That was very entertaining!!! Well you pulled off a very interesting and what looked like exhausting build. But it looked like you enjoyed most of it. God Bless and wear your protective eye cover my friend. Eye sight is hard to fix and repair! Keep em coming and I will always enjoy the entertainment. I love your work shop / Garage...

Don't you just love when you take parts from one van and put it into an identical van and it isn't identical 😂 you guys really did some awesome work on this one, JDs turning out to be one heck of a mechanic 👍 no four-wheel drive, let's head for the mud 🤣 pole barn garage, weekly comedy special with a little bit of mechanical repairs ✌️🇺🇲

I appreciate your willingness to absolutely devastate your lawn for entertainment, that was fun to watch.

A FANTASTIC JOB TO YOUR SON from someone who Larned for my father as well. You are a great father and person that cares for their family . GREAT JOB DAD 🎉

Just put some "new" wheels on my buddies 84 F250, left rear studs are of course left hand threads because reasons. Lug nut guys actually had them in stock, saved the day for us.
