Beautiful restoration 😎😎😎

it's a work of art

WaydahgoBuddy!!!!

Congrats, I’m currently restoring a 65 power wagon, been awesome watching you journey, they are one of the hottest ticket out there. Enjoy!!!

Always liked the Power Wagons. They're beasty.

This is my dream truck as a life long dodge fan, a 4x4 enthusiast, a ww2 buff, and just a person with a huge respect and appreciation for things designed and built before the throw away concept, i will have one of these trucks one day, and it will put in work as it did back in the day, pulling around my 1941 ford 9n tractor i have tuned up over the last decade or so and work the fool out of as well. They are getting hard to find, but some day.

Very nicely done! I'm currently working on a 47' Dodge D-24, that my grandfather purchased back in 50s.

Small Steps lead to big things! Great work, @DIYSCOTT

I gotta tell ya that is a work of art. The first 4wD in my New Hampshire village was a Ford Tractor and its still being used for logging today.

That's a beautiful ruck. Those are my favorite. You did an awesome job on it congrats.

Congrats! Looks amazing!!

Sweet! Great job love it forever!

Good job, looks great.

That rig is beautiful! Great job preserving this old iron!

Just a congrats message from France !! I 'm continuing my '59 Power Wagon project ! Thank's a lot for your inspiring videos By the way, very nice that green, I hesitate between that color and the dark green whitch is his true color ;-)

Nice job looks good

I love all the old Military Jeeps , Trucks Tanks etc. and anything old. My Brother and I Restored a Military Jeep and it recently got a thorough going over by one of Our employees who in His spare time completely disassembled it sand blasted and repainted it. You have done a fantastic Job. It takes a lot of patience and attention to detail. One thing I would have done different is with the fuel float. Instead of cutting two to make one , any similar rod could have been used to modify both so You would have a ready spare. Also instead of a butt weld , leaving the extension piece longer on each end would allow for sistering the pieces and providing more of a weld surface that will be less prone to cracking and losing the float in the tank. Otherwise You did a real good job , better than I have the energy for. I leaned How to drive on a 1951 Dodge 3/4 ton two wheel drive flatbed with a six cylinder and Four speed manual transmission Kids today are missing out on a real driving experience. Oh one more thing . If You ever lament not having enough cranking power Do not change to a 12 volt system . Just get a bigger six volt battery. Your truck looks so much better than any modern 4x4 .

Nice job. I’ve got 6.5 years into a basic motorcycle so you killed it. Looks great.

I've followed along through the whole journey and am happy to see such a nice piece of history restored. I think you've done a great job my dude!

COSTA RICA ...suoer truck, nice work.

At a Boy Scott! Keep um running!!!

Very good job

Nice 🤩

I think it is Really cool , I want one

great work! i painted my axles red on my 56 and it really made them pop. super jealous of your truck!

Love it iam doing the same to my 1957 w 100 power wagon

Great job hope's my 1940 dodge tow truck will look that good in 4 years

Good job ive owned several of these ol WM300s great trucks I used one as DD on an island I used to work at there was about 10 in the junkyard so I always had spares...

Let’s goooooooo!

Treat the interior paint with patina oil. It will make the inside of the truck look even more amazing. My favorite stuff to use is called Sweet Patina Sauce. Love the original interior.

Great job. Your determination is inspiring!

Low volts equals high amps, make sure you charge those batteries after sitting, it'll detonate that starter fast. Also the smoking under the carb was flooded fuel in the bowl likely. Nice truck and good job getting it looking great!

Good I liket❤❤❤

Nice work! Drive it often.

Too bad I just found your channel Real Power Wagons have always been one of my favourites.

It looks like a prowler.

I almost called 911 when it started. Thought you were going to have a heart attack ! Hahahahaha 😂!

Great rescue! End result a bit too shiny for my tastes... but then, it's not my truck! Well done.

i had a customer leave a '54 at my place after a repair. he never came to pick it up, so i drove it every day for 5 months! I personally own a 1952 M37 Airforce truck, and a '41 Dodge WC12 Army truck. i wish they were as far along as yours. do yourself a favor, keep it original!

Like your color choice! Looks like a gloss olive drab?

Check the box is square you may have a slight diamond in it making the boards hang over the rear cross member

The only thing I would change on that truck is the gearing. I would do that so going at least sixty is possible and could be done for as long as you want

I've heard you can burn up the points leaving the headlights on without running. I cant see how but.

I'd like to send you a Bird's Surf SHED T if you'll wear it. Just need a size and ship too!

Good job, great old truck, I think your truck body was out of square, is why your bed board's were crooked. If you squared the body, I don't believe you would have had to cut the board's

Around how much money did you spend in those 2 years on it

Sounds like the timing is a few degrees fast

You want to be careful with any rags and brushes you used with the linseed oil they can spontaneously combust and have burned downed more than a few wood shop over the years.

Why not swap the rod instead of weakening it!!?? This was a very painful series to watch.

Paint the inside to

Good job. You couldn't just be happy with a job well done, could you? Had to use it to beg online and show off a little. Regardless... nice work.

rather than cut ther wood and strips the channel under them might be pushed forward,,,

I feel so bad for whoever ends up with this pile of shit! Someone will think it’s a restored truck when it’s a terribly ruined and it’s value has been severely diminished!!

I get it tht he was going for the all original restoration. But tht engine could have been 1 big COMPONENT tht could have been switched out. Or I guess drive Train. Wait who am I kidding here but not even myself. Cause u can’t just change out a drive train for even a say an 9 cylinder without changing tht whole truck around. So right on to this young man for doing what’s right keeping it O G baby.
