Legend has it. Caleb is still tightening that chain

My second car was a "78 Bronco. It was Blue with Silver, and a previous owner put a 460 in it. I could physically watch the gas gage move when I did burnouts. I wish I never sold it. Loved taking the top off and heading to the lake.

Some people are entertaining when they get out of the office, I never thought chain binders could be so full of comedic value.

I’ve never seen a sponsor get so much air time than on this channel the longest clip by far🤔 but I’m ain’t never guna stop fast forwarding them

In 79 I had that same bronco. Mine was blue and white.Im a follower and subscriber since your start. I crashed mine in a horrible accident 45 years ago. Y'all brought back some horrible memories for me The thick part behind the cab and fiberglass cover will crush . The roof went to the steering wheel and it to the seat. And I was trapped on the floor. The jaws of life and great paramedics I was saved. Please please put a roll bar in that bronco. I know y'all get millions of comments but please take this to heart..

Man that Bronco is in great shape! I am stoked to watch what happens.

I had a 1978 Bronco and rebuilt it from the ground up, lift kit, 4 speed and big mud tires and custom paint job. It was my pride and joy for 22 years. That thing was awesome and went through anything. I always took it mudding, rock climbing and trail riding. I wish I still had it, it was my pride and joy and a beautiful show truck. Best 4×4 ever made in my opinion!!!

That red 70's ford flatbed in the background looked badass too!

it's "Bow Line" used to hold bow sails on sailboats ages ago.

Thank u Dave for the correction on bowline

Had a few of the 78-79 Broncos over the years. I miss them all. 🥲

Diesel Dave and Allen are legends the back bone of both channels Sparks and Hans can go play with each others choppers for all I care. Sorry big up the videographers and editors u put the magic all together

30 minutes after the video ended that guy is still working on tying down the rear passenger side chain..

Intro is something out of Talladega Nights.

I put a 460 crate motor in mine. It ran so much better.

Did the ultimate heavy wrecker build get canceled? Haven't seen any updates about this for a while now.

That was emotional ... I have thought for a number of years to get my dad's red Ford truck back (1970s). I sure miss that truck. ... I'll guess the family will want to keep the Bronco in the family for their sons.

Looked like an eagle when he turned the wippers on lol

I had a 72 bronco. Got married.Sold it to buy a 79 F350.. Wife drove a CJ5. She sold it to buy an ordered a bad 84 full size Bronco with a lockers front n rear and a 4spd with OD. Started a business that we grew to 20 plus Fords and The wife got a super cool Excusion 7.3... WE LOVE OUR Broncos and Excusion... It is pronounce Bo lin. Used to secure lines(ropes) to the bow of the boat. Allows it to move freely and break it open. I did learn to tie that knot while on Ski Patrol... Hanging from the chairlift while tying it with the other hand....That was many moons ago...

A Bronco Ranger XLT with factory AC is a jewel.

Sparks Motors puts the Spark back in your engine 😉👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎

What an amazing barn gold and such potential slap like 20 clear coats and call it a day absolutely gorgeous Ford GOLD👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎

washing that dust off before letting those old blades loose on that screen would have been a good idea

Looks great. All those years in yhe weather in that open shed. It sounds great.

Can’t wait to have you work on my ‘72 short bed gmc step side. 💞🤟🥳

My dad had a 78 bronco red and white 2 tone, 351 i do believe under hood but automatic on colomn 4x4, and wasnt very rusted up , but that was like 20 years ago, and id say he had maybe $600 into purchasing it , body had needed some work but interior was perfect and ran good i can say , but he did what he did with most things he bought 😂 , he bought th and either used them or played with them and enjoyed them for a short while and some he would fix up or some he would just run and use till he had no use or desire to keep it and moved on to something different and new to him , the only thing he kept VERY long besides jobs, was my mother and my brother and I , sadly he passed away at 59 years old from SUPPOSED COVID/Pneumonia, but didnt smoke or drink or drug , just worked and played harder , but suddenly and sadly he was gone and we have no real answers STILL and it seems to look as if we WILL NEVER GET ANY other then the BS they already gave us and yall accepted , or didnt care enough to EVEN NOTICE the REAL deal of whats going on and why and when and where else before you have no choice to see the truth and by then it WILL be too late, as its already late ENOUGH, but sadly yall going to focus so hard on your daily lives that you dont see ,your all going to work or busy with SOMETHING that perhaps pays your bills and feed your families but the food bought at big stores and corporations is NO GOOD for you /me , and why your focusing on the things you belive are huge , they will look VERY tiny compared to whats going tocome in the near future but it couldvw possibly been stopped if you ALL would wake up and unite together as America once was UNITED and see the truth of what americas been used for , and why its planned to have an ends and sadly knowbody cares enough or does shit but mess around , even more sadly is that the ones who DO have ALL they need are the ones who should pair together secretly like each RU-vidr with each other and other youtuber and yall rich ones could help form your own secret societies to fifht the real secret societies that are the problems , like JFK warned us about before was killed 4 it

Right on Mr Man I always loved watching you in your content thank you so much for being you

Those Broncos are cool! Love the '68's too!

How cool is this.. great Bronco love it

Happy birthday to the birthday folks 👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎

Anything is better than the other dude that was doing these. Huge improvement. Thumbs up 👍🏼 for diesel and Caleb

I grew up with a 79. I would love to still have one.

freaking 8 arm mechanic lol , dude is not wrong this year at Barrett Jackson saw a few 4x4 go for crazy money retro is in with all the new bells and whistles

This was also the year that they came out with the ECM that sucks too, but I had a good time with the 1978 Ford bronco

Diesel Dave + The Wizard = entertainment!!

this channel needs way more love man

I laughed so much at this episode!! Good one guys!!

1978 black on black XLT in my barn now 20 years bout it in 1980 110,000 miles .going to start it this year.

Love the older 2 door ford broncos.

Hooking up the trailer was like watching idiots at a boat ramp.

That's kool.looks like the one my father had.black and orange.he was a Ford freak.i got 72 mustang but probably never see it road ready.oh well you guys have fun.as always.

as if that thing started up, you guys are legends

Wow diesel Dave is a bad ass diesel mechanic I would truly love to have any truck he built. I would cherish a diesel truck he built how cool would that be.

THE GREATEST WIZARD AND THE GREAT DIESEL DAVE WILL GET EVERYTHING FIX THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH THE GREAT DIESEL DAVE AND THE GREATEST WIZARD.

I remember really liking the 2 door Chevy blazers when I was a teenager

Awesome find! Is there any opportunity of buying some parts you guys may not use after the restoration?

Hay guys im from Corbin Kentucky my and my family love to be one of the folks that win something from you or even just come over and hang out with you and your guys you recoveies I so amazing the way you bless people who really need help God bless you

A REAL BRONCO

It hurt my soul when he ran the wipers

Complete restore and keep those are the last of the real ones pride and joy keep it 😊

What a trip this is going to be.❤Australia

Dang!! Very decent barn find.. ( kinda ).. makes me miss my 79 and 86 broncos.. Definitely work horses.

Someone needs to talk to him about how to close big heavy hoods though!! You NEVER close one from the corner. ALWAYS in the center! Will mess with the hinges and can cause the hood to buckle in half.

Nice to see the Ford Bronco

That is a beautiful bronco! But I swear they look like their family.

Farva? Did ya get that liter of cola?

That one-wheel peel killed what was left of the LS 9".

Love those broncos 🇺🇸

I actually did Dana 60 conversions on that model of Bronco before the big boys did..

Awesome bronco 😊

I saw one for 8k down the road last week!

Looked like Smiley the worm from Sesame street on the windshield lol!!!💚💚💚🇨🇦

Great video

I wanna see how the 2024 bronco holds up in 45+ years! nevermind... I'll be 104🤔

We can do everything, we are the Mavericks of Utah

Let me save you a ton of time. No.

Currently as it sits it's not worth $217,000. But it will be after you guys have your way with it!

Why do people always wait until they've lost someone to complete their loved one's dreams. We don't know how long we have each other. Stop waiting for a better time. The perfect moment is probably not going to happen. GO, DO IT NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE... Every single day is a lost opportunity.

Id say keep the stock motor, but pull it and rebuild with a it of upgrades depending on the power they want maybe stroke it. It definitely needs a holley EFI kit, and a good mild built tra s behind it with a good t case like a np 205/203. Then depe ding on wnat they want aybe a small like 2-4 in lift and build the axles with some lower gears and a cojple lockers and a nice set of 35s or 37" Micky Thompsons then pai t it or just clean up the original and get the interior do e up nice with a simple mild cage and nice seats with some harnesses and that would be one bad ass Bronco anyone would love to have

Well atleast you explained what the hell you were talking about when you asked it was worth 217,000..fucking brilliant..

I use snap ring pliers for that.

I thought Hans was bad wow!!!

Should just face time that backup on the phones live cameras might work ?

Dave, you definitely have A LOT of patience.

Glad I ended that video early

Let’s leave Caleb to figure it out so he stays out of the way 😂😂

I feel sorry for Diesel Dave there was not even one half competent person helping him. I wouldve lost my shit.😂😂😂😂

hey caleb do you even know how to use that binder?

Wait wait wait wait... what's up with that explorer in the back?? What's the deal with that? That thing is SICK

Sometimes a diesel Dave is like the clown show, but he's the kind of guy you just want to give a hug to

Bowline, I line that attaches to the bow of a boat.

110% yes they are fully restored or new never driven of touched

Make sure when you start a vehicle that’s been sitting for 10 years you keep it @ 5k rpm right out of the gate

How about a 1970's K5 Blazer build!!!!

I want to know where I can find them boots.

Hey what’s up bros how y’all doing much love

Diesel Dave how much do you bench press or Lyft and how much do you weigh

The old gal is not in bad shape. My ‘78 Bronco was stolen from my driveway in broad daylight in 1990. I’ve always wondered where it ended up. Probably in Mexico.

I had a 78 f250, the best year truck ford built, i drove the hell out of it and beat it pretty good, they are sought after now.. the best running gear was the np435 and 205 transfercase with the dana rearend

Is that OJ’s bronco haha🚗💨🦅🇺🇸

As I watch this latest episode, it gives me hope for America!!

that guy in the red shirt is a total city boy 👨🏼‍💻

How about an in line figure 8, to retain strength of rope

Some body please help Baby Face out He really needs help BADLY!!!!

The only way that bronco would be worth near that modern engine and transmission. But it could be done right. They are definitely coming up in value

Where do you plug that motor in at. Sorry it looked like an engine to me.

WHERE IS COLE ??!! JUST WONDERING!! LOVE CALEB ALSO!!

Alan should just sit back and supervise. Seemed to work just fine at the beginning

I'm a 62 year old marine that learned how to tie a bowline knot when I was a boy scout that's the way I learned to pronounce it.
