Will it Run?! FORGOTTEN Dodge D600! 23+ Years Sitting 

I worked for NCDOT in 1979. I swear that's my truck, color and all. Good times.

I just love the way you guys do this. I see so many hacks who just want to hook up a battery and start cranking right away. You always take the time to do things carefully and your great results speak for themselves.

Now THAT'S a find! You hit the jackpot with this one 👌🏻

Already loving this project revival! 🥰🥰 Looking forward to seeing you all bring this sweet old Dodge back all the way! 🥰🥰

Some people say that it's a good idea to run an engine first for a bit to warm it up to get any sludge mixed up and out with the oil change.

318 are good old faithful engines. They were put in everything for a long time for a reason.

If this thing was govt' owned like you said, you know it worked hard, but was always well kept. Good buy. Even here you can see how it came back to life with only a carb rebuild, which today is one thing that shows real mechanic's skills.

Pro tip on old Mopars: always carry a spare ballast resistor.

Stellar Video Guys!!!!! ................................. I ask you, "...who wouldn't want to watch a 'Will It Run' video about a 70's stubby dump truck, especially an old DODGE?"

Guys! You are the best!

Michael, you are hysterical! Tappy-Taps???!!!??? That's one I've never heard before! Really enjoyed seeing you bring this Ol' Mopar back from the dead!!!

Love Budget Builds who couldn't never can tell what will come in next 😁💟

What a wonderful find! This old girl should be given the love she needs then put back to work. She'll be good for a lot more loads.

You and your dad make it fun to watch

Anxious to see how the truck turns out. You can always use a dump truck around the propery!

Another BRILLIANT find!!! What is there NOT to love about a Tonka-colored dump truck???!!! Only one wheel is locked up, so I hope you get to drive this one to the land fill and drop off some junk. She is BEGGING for employment! Cheers!!!

Great surprise Michael and Dad.....love your channel....kid and wife friendly.....and local here in the Upstate.....thankee neighbor.

Cool looking old truck! Something you don't see that often. I like it

Nice truck with History and class.

One thing I always liked about those old carters with the plate on top of the bowel, is you can adjust the metering rods and pump while on the truck for your driving needs

Man great job getting her started! That’s one cool Dodge dump truck!

Good Job on that Firebird Dump Truck lmao 🤣🤣🤣 look forward to seeing more.

Another knock it of the park choice… Thank you for the V8 special!

Woo hoo! Nice Tuesday afternoon surprise Michael! Hope y'all are having a great week thus far! 💙🙏🏼 And I believe you are referring to the dielectric gel there when you were first turning over the engine 😉

Those 318's and the 225 slant six (tower of power) were two of the BEST engines Chrysler ever made. Economical and very reliable.

way to go THE MOST IN DEPTH rebuild...even rebuilt the KEY!! lol great job guys keep it up pls!

I would love to see you fix this up including the interior and throw a paint job on it and put it to use. You can get your money out of this one for sure. Unique and nice buy for you to make some great content

Wow what a cool ole work truck y’all rescued …

Love the Dodge dumptruck!

I enjoyed the picture show.

Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers and for sharing

Built in seats (inner fenders) for sitting and working on it... god I love the old trucks!

Thought this was supposed to be about a fire bird , but none the less a good video.

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS..AWSOME TRUCK.. WE NEED TO SEE PART 2... SHOW US THAT BED IN BACK. COOL OIL IT UP.. GREAT BODY AND PAINT JOB..

When dealing with old dodge trucks it’s best to just go ahead and replace everything electrical before u even get started in my experience, or at least have a spare starter relay and voltage regulator and ignition module and whatnot ready and sitting there because something isn’t gonna work. Super cool truck! That thing is kinda rare, u don’t see a d600 every day.

It could useful day to day when you fix the brakes....Jeez, you guys have such nice weather already, so jealous...🤔😳😏🇬🇧

Great start. Yes got some noisy lifters. Maybe after running awhile they will quite down. Thanks for sharing 👊💯

Always brings a big smile to see you guys fire each one up. And a great vid as alwaays

Really nice unit. Nice simple & cheap mechanical/parts.

That thing would make an awesome wrecker/tower/hauler.

Magic goo😂 iam coining that one michael! Lol love this video!

Michael remember our conversation last year about a barn or unit .your gonna been a museum soon ...or another barn. Great find. But of black paint on the rusty steel, its a work horse

A dump truck with a gas V8, and not even a big block. That's cool, and something I've never seen before. 👍

Glad you took steps to get the oil pressure up and prevent a dry start after setting that long!

7:18 that's a cold chisel not a cold-rolled chisel. A cold chisel is a tool used for cutting metal without heating, aka cold. Cold-rolled is metal that was formed into sheets without being heated, aka cold.

You guys are the best! Just good, family fun. I dont know my real fathers name, but my step dad had me working on cars since the early 80s. Sometimes there wasn't so much family friendly vocabulary, and back then we worked on them out of necessity. Now I work on them for fun. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You and your pops are AWESOME! Class acts, both of ya! Hello from Kentucky!

Wait, is the title wrong? There's no firebird just a dump truck 😂

It’s ALWAYS the ignition module lol Owned a D100 and I swear to god I went through 7 of them

I have a '72 D500 I'm fixing up so it's interesting seeing what is the same and what is different around the truck. Thankfully no electronic ignition control box, but the same "fun" rear brake cylinders to replace this summer.

You guys can start hauling gravel from the quarry now .👍

Does anyone else like the sound of that starter!

Greetings from Sydney Australia. This came up in my feed so I subscribed. Love these kind of videos. I have a 1966 Holden. Yeh it drives and is registered. Loves a sunny day cruise

I love this mini stubby dump truck

Tc finds has the same exact truck but no dump bed it sat for 23 years also theese trucks could be brothers!!😮💗

Cool

Y'all should turn this into an offroad crawler! Kind of like what the boys out in Utah do.

Man, you got an easy one here Michael! Love them MOPARS!! That truck is in great shape for a 1976! I'll be watching for the next chapter with great expectations!! Love this channel Michael.

Awesome! now put her to work !

Cool Tonka toy😁

These 2 can make any engine run even if it is years that it doesn't run

Great old truck. Nice to see her running.

I am happy the dust stays where you are, you should wear some mask when blowing it off 🙂

i got a 1966 D500 with a holmes wrecker on it had been sitting for 20 years it also started right up

Awesome video Mike! Cool truck 🙌

Wow I do believe this is same truck that I seen in my area great solid truck.

Watching you from the U.K Michael. Always champing at the bit for the next video. Great content in every edition.

Got you a real work horse👍👍!

Looks like an old 318 V8. If you put a Cummings 6-cylinder diesel out of a Dodge truck and a 727 trans it would be valuable.

Really like the dump truck. Can't go wrong with a 318. There just runners. Thanks for sharing 😊.

Can you do a classic old school bus like gmc or Chevy or Ford or international just asking my friend .. you have the totally awesome RU-vid channel keep up the good work my friend 👍 😀

We had a small dump truck similar to that when I was a teen in the 80's but ours was a '66 Chevy. We'd take it and a frontend loader down to the creek and come back with brown creek gravel we used on our driveway and the road going back to our barn, but otherwise it didn't see much use. Handy to have when you need one though. :)

Thinking with air cleaner off shop vac might help 🤔

My late father had a Australian built Dodge 660 tipper as his main truck wich was powered by a dodge 321 v8.

I would still test compression for each cylinder, because if some mud is still keeping a valve slightly open, the valve will not last very long...

Looks great for it's age

Awesome! I love this channel. You guys do awesome work.

such a small truck , just right for shows , and trips to the shops !

Nice revival. I have a 1972 D500 to revive this summer and I hope I am as successful as you were. Keep up the great content guys!

Great vid! Looking forward to this one coming out like a peach.

Another great video, its so cool to see that old beast run, Im sure youll be driving it soon

Nice work boys! Cool old truck.

Wished I lived close to ya'll, I wanna come to work with ya'll lol. This is different but still just as awesome as ever. Props again guys 👌

OK, now bring on the next one!!

Tiny House/Camper build? That's what I'm doing with a 73 D300 that I just brought home.

Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work

I need a little gravel in front of the garage, are you for hire? Ha!

THAT'S COOL !!!!

Wow, such a huge truck for a small 318. Must have some really tall gears and move at the speed of molasses on a winter day.

COOL OLD DUMP TRUCK!

Great find😎 great EP 🔥💯

So cool!

Awesome video! Keep it up!

Great videos Michael, you have a great, personable way of explaining and doing! Thanks for your videos

That air cleaner is for the Mopar lean burn system

Great job mate ... looking forward to the next installment

U can make a key from what u have with a thin scraper down the lock core scratch up the surface were the holes line up were the new key blank is & make a key & don't forget to lightly round the top of the new key or it will be hard to slide in & out

Great video man, love it

Excellent video Budget Buildz Mike :) also exciting fun find & remember Dodge trucks like that and use one was 5 ton 1975 old Hydro boom one for Sandblasting company back 1994 to 1995 ! Had gas motor 318 2 barrel then got newer intake with 4 barrel carb , Transmission was 10 speed with low and high, plus axle ratio 390 single axle with Hydraulic brakes no air type! But in 1995 motor went so got Industrial 318 V8 4 barrel and made running super faster on drive it ! Hope you men fix up and used to also future videos too!

Perty cool I've been a Mopar fan for ever. Great job.

Ballast resistor! maybe. Secret of all old Mopars
