Hmmm...which one should I drive to the bar tonight??? Nobody gonna mess with you when you're driving one of those babies....and you know it'll start when you're Comin home. Fantastic Collection sir....I only wish I lived closer to come buy one. (Michigan) It would be perfect for our winters. Thanx for sharing.✌😊
Oh my stares I would give anything to have any one of those beautiful old trucks to restore and use! Music to my ears, there is nothing like the sound of vintage craftsmanship of old horsepower at its finest! Awesome share!
I love the calm of the video, too many times music is used as the backdrop of the video, here it is simply the yard and the trucks that convey the scene. Good work also amazing trucks.
I love your videos Alaska Trucker !!! You have proved that 'Old Steel Soldiers' never die, they just regroup and muster up at your place. Keep 'em rollin' brother !! ;-)
Wow this is awesome . I am only 16 and recently perch aced a old military truck like these. Mine is a 1943 international fire truck. It was going to be crushed. It runs and will be a good project. It's on my youtube channel if you want to look at it. I love your collection
Wow great video! Amazingly nice Trucks ! All of them look super heavy duty also. . Something about the rusted look makes them scary or badass looking ! I just made a video call rusted relics with me playing harp to it . Just something about these old vehicles that makes me smile . Thumbs Up ! have a nice rest on the weekend. Great job.
They look like in very good shape ...meaning . little rust rot .. Great to see them running ....amazing engineering that helped build north America....wow
hi I wish I still had my 211 it was approx. 57 or so. had the huge 6 cyl I don't recall the displacement. I was despret I didn't think I would have the space to keep anymore. nice vids keep collecting them and have fun. I will again some time.
That's a nice collection you got there. Wish I had a backyard full of old trucks. Fix them all and getting them looking like they just got out of the factory.
So they are some of them are power wagons I thought so I ask if studebaker and dodge wer ever had anything to do with each other but I guess not I love old power wagons
Love the video and the trucks!!!!how long did it take you to collect these? and what was the avg price paid for a truck?the only negative I can see here is so many trucks too little time and long winters,I love watching AST on NatGeo just to see what kind of old trucks people have in thier yards.
Lots of Studebakers there. They were used extensively in the construction of the ALCAN highway. We also sent them to Soviet Union via the Lend Lease program. The Russians loved them, and called them Studers.
'Please, take me with you,' I hear them whisper. 'I've got more to do, just put new shoes on me...' 'Let me tell you of the day I helped Bill on his last day...'
i am in awe,plow trucks wreckers junk yard boom trucks deep woods,snow and ice vehicle recovery, these trucks would so get the job done, how much for one of your top runners with a winch?
Hey, you live in Paradise :-) :-) Thanks for sharing ! It's like I'm there in reality, looking at details, hearing the sounds :-) :-) :-) I'm a CCKW lover since I was 6 years old and first saw one passing by..... And now I'm 57 of age.... and still love them so much
I liked the Chevrolet (GMC?) cabover at 7:56. Yeah, I know; but, before you get too rough on me... ...I own a Kaiser/Jeep XM-811A five-ton van (Cummins NHC 250), and it was the daily driver for my wife and me for several years. We still drive it to go camping, in parades, and so on, but, thankfully, we no longer have to spend twenty dollars for enough diesel to go buy groceries. Economy (?!??!!) is 4.2 MPG, and the (ten (10) @ $400) tires are good for about 15,000 miles. Say what you will, but driving a military truck on a daily basis is hard-core!
+EdWatts Dad bought the GMC Cab-over brand new in 1973. The truck had a 2700 gallon propane tank on it and made us a lot of money over the years. It has a 5 speed trans , air brakes , two speed axle and 427 engine (probably its third or fourth one). In the nineties my Uncle put the boom on the truck when the propane tank was removed and the truck was retired. I have a lot of fond memories riding with Dad on trips to Kenai in that truck when I was a kid. Its hard to believe the unit is over 40 years old now , yet it handles the boom very well and is still a good solid truck. Thanks for watching!
Would love to enjoy seeing that are you located here to Alaska is there any way that you can tell me the address I have one of those old ones a GMC 1943 6x6 a deuce and a half and would like more information on it it does run
great video. I like that they all run. that's rare. a labor of love, yes sir. probably doesn't even feel like work. it must be a thrill to crank one up after sitting for awhile, and take it for a spin around the property. keep up the great work you are doing, and thanks for sharing.
I have not but two of the Studebakers were built on the same day and are something like 144 digits apart ...that gives you an idea on the scope of URGENCIE these vehicles were produced at. By then (1945) I think Ford Motor Company had B-24 Liberators coming out of the Dearborn assembly plant at one every 55 minutes. Thanks for watching!
So are any for sale? I mean for the right price. Getting them down to Florida would be a bitch but I would love some history. Already have a few. 54 Chevy 4400. 78 Alfa Romeo spider. Getting a 59 f-100 and hopefully a 34 chevy.
Russia ended up with most of the Studebaker trucks under lend lease during the war and loved them. They have military vehicle collectors over there as well and they loved all the mostly early American gear we gave them and also copied most of it. If you see any of their early 6x6 trucks they look and sound like a gmc. They also really loved the early Bantam prototype jeeps we sent them as they had higher ground clearance then the early Ford and willys jeeps we sent them. It was called the Bantam Reconissance Car or BRC if I remember right. The Willys was a MA, and the Ford was a GP and I think they made about 3k of each type to pick the best one. Bantam got forced out after building the first Jeep in 1940 and made trailers during the war. As far as the Studebaker trucks most ended up on the west coast and I saw a few complete ones in a old yard parked off to the side of the entrance road. They also had quite a few gmc and others scattered around. I was told every truck there had been driven in and parked where I saw them. I've read they were a much heavier built truck than the gm counterparts were and the flat fenders made it easy to work on them when needed.
Nice video, best sales pitch I've ever seen. I'll take the blue flatbed six-by. That ammo? truck too. Bet it would cost a ton of money to get one to the South.
These old trucks ; are they deserted U.S. military trucks from the second world war ? I understand that they were just parked as it would have cost a fortune in fuel / man power , to return them to the lower states .
Thats a good question. The logic for two rear drive shafts was in the event that one rear drive shaft was lost the truck would still have 2/3 of its drive potential remaining (remember it has a shaft for the steer axle too). A 6x6 truck that was designed with only a single rear shaft would lose 2/3 of its drive potential if the rear shaft were lost which might render it useless on the battlefield. Thanks for watching!
the one that I like is the one with the modern military bed. just wondering how much did it cost you to get the truck and parts? I might have to get a power wagon and put a bed like that in it.
