1942 Dodge Carryall - Jay Leno's Garage

[@leviledford4778]

When I was in high school around 1961 of 62 a friend of mine bought this Truck and a 6x6 Studebaker at a military surplus auction for $1,100 and change for the pair, I drove the Studebaker home while he drove the Dodge ,the Studebaker 6x6 will climb walls ,he still owns both trucks along with a Willys Jeep and Panel Truck .

[@funtyes1970]

$1,100 was a lot of money in early 60's i think most brand new cars sold for $2000-$3000

[@kyongslist]

I absolutely loved the Power Wagon episode from a long while back, and was hoping that Winslow would eventually be on the show again..... When I saw the video thumbnail and title, I was almost gauranteeing myself that it must be Legacy again! and thankfully, it was!

[@loganshotrod4x464]

[@anthonylozada9253]

He really knows what he's talking mechanically about this power wagon....it's awsome

[@charliesd250]

I used to have a lot of respect and admiration for Legacy but as I continue to advance my skill set in restoration and fabrication this vehicle is far from a $250k price tag. The rear suspension (springs) are the original 1.75” wide springs that came stock on the WC53 with BRASS bushings and cast iron spring hangers. Shocks are purely for looks since it appears they went with a 12” travel shock and limited it to a 4” travel. E Brake cables are at risk of being ripped off, frame has extensive welding which is a corrosion hotspot internally and riddles it with dozens of concentrated stress areas (boxing plates end between crossmembers) and the diesel engine itself is very reliable but there is no reason to boast the spin on fuel filter since they come standard with it. I could care less about the thought put into vent tubes over the rest of the entire damn truck. Making the tailgate out of 1/8” plate means the outer skin is loaded with bondo to get the shape it needs to flow with the body. Fuel fill location is rediculous, headlight mounts are cheesy, hydroboost isnt straight, firewall is just boring flat bedlined steel, the air compressor is a joke... they made gear drive compressors for this cummins engine that would take the cake in air volume and reliablity. Nice try Legacy, I’ll see you next year with a real resto mod Dodge that’s practical! Charlie, New Era Performance LLC

[@ZeroneAngel]

I'd say you're absolutely right. It's a decent resto mod build, but it is in no way as "practical" as he puts it. I get the feel that this guy just used things that "look cool" but he hasn't got any experience in offroading himself.

[@GrayRaceCat]

Charlie Pitcher, didn't the rear shocks look like they bottomed out with the wheels on the ground? 4" extension and no room for compression. Plus the sloppy dust boots all balled-up.

Hi Jay and guys. I am actually the organizer of the rally where this baby will be servicing. I've read the comments here, and I believe that if you never made a rally like the one we're putting together you can't actualy be certain of this vehicle capabilities. I have some experience crossing south and central america with different types of vehicles, from comfortable 4x4s to classic cars from the 20s. This truck will be servicing a 1938 Chevrolet coupe known as the Fangio as it is a replica of the one the Juan Manuel Fangio used to race in his early days. The color patern also mimics the car, this is why this truck has the paint scheme like you see it. So Jay, if you want to come along in this adventure, we'll save a seat for ''ya!

I think the cables operate on the disk calipers, but I get your point. Catch one, and the brake may apply before cable ripped out.

[@RealUnimportant]

Considering the amount of worrying that drove the fuel filler relocation, having the transmission fluid so easily spillable seems like a backwards step - I mean, I get the idea but if you're concerned that someone might tamper with the vehicle to prevent it from moving, why make it that easy?

[@elementalfunk]

[@fraserwright9482]

InsertFlashyName Having been on these offroad rallies this is not the answer. There is a good reason support vehicles tend to be a 10 year old Toyota Landcruiser and a cabover Dakar/Army type truck. The Toyota is quiet, fast and you can easily sell it if you need to leave it in x country if you need the space or money. If needed the Truck can carry the race vehicle and we stick the tools onto/into the Toyota or shiping container should the race car crash beyond repair which happens alot. You can have an awning/work area on the shady/dry side of a a cabover rather than the tailgate in the sun/rain/wind/snow at the side of the dusty road.

Terrible idea having to fuel inside. Have to move cargo/tools to fill up. If he’s that worried about tampering or theft use a locking cap.

[@Slider68]

jay west I've got to agree with you on the fuel door. Other than that it looks like a well thought out build. They didn't mention what's in the front axle but if it was my truck I'd have a Detroit Locker in the front axle as well. I guess there are a few other tweaks I'd make too: - a bit more height/spring in the rear so it sits level and rides well with 1500-2500 lbs on board (or if I needed it to use it regularly carrying wildly different loads I'd install heavy duty rear air suspension). - a large compressed air tank mounted underneath somewhere. - strong skid plates protecting vulnerable components. - off-road differential covers that can handle being driven into rocks without buckling. - something to allow me to winch from the rear (moveable winch, dual winches, or a pulley setup to route the winch cable to the rear). - high power CB radio with a whip antenna. - single color paint, probably white. - a rear 12V power jack (to power a cooler/fridge) - a built in 15A (or more) 120V inverter and a few standard 120V outlets. - if the atlas transfer case doesn't have a 4:1 low range I'd add it. - strong cup holders for each passenger (two for each front passenger). - strong, functional rock sliders to protect the rocker panels and provide additional frame torsional stiffness. - removable custom built tool and parts storage for everything needed to support the race/rally vehicles. - removable rear seats with seatbelts to seat up to 8 passengers, including driver. Then it would be my ultimate heavy duty chase truck.

Something about old school trucks I just love. Old Wagoners, Land Cruisers Broncos, Scouts . New SUVs are great but they Lack the honest brutally of there older counter points.

[@outsidethebox617]

As much as I'd love such a vehicle... There would be a few adjustments needed. Starting with the fueling location. The fuel door will be trapped by cargo that would have to be moved every time you fueled. Not to mention that spilled diesel would not only stain both the truck and cargo, but stink to high heaven. (Made worse when driving in hot conditions like Africa) Why not elevate the air filter to the roofline like mil spec. Padlock latches on back need padlock protection plates for the nice paint job. The current system will not prevent the locks from flopping about on bumpy roads causing the locks to slam into the paint and chip it. Bad idea anyway as listening to padlocks slap and rattle against the back of the vehicle for hours on end would get maddening. Tailgate needs some sort of lock down feature . If its meant to act as a work bench and withstand being hammered on, the cable supports will allow it to bounce. Also inside of door should have been made flat as its curved shape will be annoying to work on. Air compressor looks undersized. Sure it may reach the necessary PSI but if the intention is to run air tools then CFM is a concern as well. As air tools are a pig on air. They drain tanks quickly and need fast compressors to keep up. Straping down the axes and shovels on the back creates two problems. One... More Rattling Two... Open to theft. And one final thing.... A little aside. Jay...if you are reading this... KEEP IT BETWEEN THE LINES!!! In every video I see you in, you always end up at some point wondering over the center line. U don't LOOK drunk....lol

Anyone else notice the rear shocks were completely bottomed out when it was on the lift? For a quarter million dollars you would think they could at least manage to get that correct. It is also funny that this guy says they designed it to carry tools and parts as a chase vehicle, but if you want to put fuel in it you have to remove all of that and stretch all the way into the truck to get at the fuel door as if they couldn't imagine a way to lock the fuel door from a reasonable position. For Christ sake the rear door requires pad locks if you want to secure it. What a joke. More money than brains club vehicle for sure.

[@allanmacbadger5692]

As for the shocks, when off roading you also need downwards travel in the suspension, plus they will most probably be adjustable as well.

[@meadmaker4525]

Yeah, there were a couple of quirky things about this truck that made me scratch my head and you mentioned most of them. I also thought the e-brake lines dangling in big hoops beneath the rear axle was just asking for them to get ripped off when off-roading. And the big long-tube King shocks look cool, but it looks like they only had about 3 inches of travel, and like you said, they were bottomed out in the rear. Very strange! Some things were really well thought-out, and others really weren't. Like you said, for the money, I'd expect a lot more attention to detail.

This guy should hire Jay as a build consultant, i like Jays approach way better. There should be a heavy duty bumper,... the pushee will at some point be the pushed guaranteed no matter how capable it is. I don't understand why he was so braggish about how EVERYTHING was built 4x's heavier than it needed to be, but he put an electric winch on it, i don't care how many thousands of pounds the manufacturer said it will pull... it'll pull a small fraction of the weight a power take off winch will pull, see SUPERJEEP on Alaskan road warriors, its what made his offroad truck better than everyone else's. It's a wonderful truck, with a few minor changes it would even be better.

Also the Dana 60 axle on the front, it seems to me he said it was a 5 -1/4 ton, the Dana 60 is a mighty fine axle, but its made for a 3/4 ton truck and he said EVERYTHING was built way heavier than it needed to be. I hope the guy who's paying 250k doesn't see this show.

Owner will hate the service brake on that aftermarket disk brake conversion. Who's idea was it to mount the calipers at the 12 o'clock position? Guess to trying to get the service brake cable a bit higher at the cost of making bleeding a pain. Put a service brake on the transfer case output. That way the service brake works reliably, and you don't have to mess with the cables, and can put the caliper in the correct orientation. Fuel filler needs to be sorted out. It was a short cut, and we all know it. Ditch the shutoff solenoid for a cable. Hope the owner does a few chase/shake down's in the states before shipping it abroad.

How do you refuel it with your tools inside? Also how do you reach your tools in the back of the truck when you have something on the tailgate/workbench? You are standing in the sun/rain and can't reach or see drawers above shoulder height. Having a couple of 3cm thick work benchs that has folding legs so it can be moved anywhere and if firm mounting is needed it clips onto either side of the truck above the rear tire has been better as you can work on the less dusty and safer side of the road.

I'm a simple man, son of a simple man who sells and raise cattle for a living, just like his father and his father before him.....I'm in love with this company and if I get to buy one of their trucks you can be sure as hell I'll do it and turn it into a family heirloom

[@bharathnaveen8870]

Merry Christmas! May Santa bless Jay with more tshirts too!

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

This is one of Jay's best interviews and demonstrations.

[@darque1860]

Damn, that thing is gorgeous! Great job. Thank u jay for the awesome, informative, entertaining videos. Keep up the good work sir.

[@christianchannel6185]

Jay Leno said it best about recycling cars 👏 that is exactly what I wish we would do as a country is bring these old vehicles back to life in a recycle way like Jay Leno and Bisi said

[@michaelb6729]

padlocks will be shaking and tapping like hell while on the trails.

[@tomhutchins1046]

And they just stick something through the lock and twist it off

[@davidrivas305]

You put the locks when you park the car.

[@dlwatib]

Gotta admit that was pretty rinky. Like you say, the padlocks will rattle something fierce if you drive it down the road with them on, let alone off-road. It'll scar up the paint pretty quick too. So you're going to want to leave them off when driving. That means extra inconvenience every time you leave the truck or come back to it. Real easy to forget or just not bother. There goes your security. A crowbar in hand is all it takes for a criminal to make quick work of the lightweight latches. No need to pick the padlocks. If sturdiness was the driving concern, he sure missed the boat with those latches. Ridiculous after spending 150 pounds of weight on the tailgate door itself.

[@michaelb6729]

Definitely those rear latches are a fail !

[@johncuervo3019]

Who cares when in any other vehicle you can just smash the window. Same as this one

[@usquanigo]

So jealous! Not much for that 2 tone, but that thing is so awesome.

[@timgraysontv]

Jay slapped him around about the batteries, lol

[@brkbtjunkie]

timgraysontv dudes right about the charging though. You can’t deep cycle spiral tops right?

[@patrickwayne3701]

@@brkbtjunkie you can with the blue tops,,, but again, I bought optimas when they first debuted and had a couple for 6 years. The newer ones just dont live. I have lost more money on them than I care to think of. If you really read these comments Jay,,, maybe a guy with your sway, could either get them to do something about their lack of quality these days

[@henryalau8510]

Suggestion for future show, if possible, find his ckient in about 2 years and see what this fantastic Monster has become. This put a HUGE smile on my face!

[@BlackDragon-xn2ww]

I see alot things wrong in this rebuild wires under side loose not in cable protectors gas filler inside that might be a violation of some kind batt box under the chassis is a big one with no protection from rocks hitting it busting the batts they should be under the hood with hood locks they also make metal tubes with sight glass in them for the transfer box be better then that rubber tube is that even rated for oil gas ?

[@ajc894]

The sight tube on the transfer case comes with it. I see glass cracking because of shock. Now I agree there is a lack of under body protection. But it is mostly going to be driving on unmaintained roads not rock crawling.

Merry Christmas Jay! thanks for all the videos, us car guys really appreciate it. Look forward to all the cars you'll show us in 2018

Had a mate in the sixties who had jeeps an an original wartime carryall….. great lookin motor.😎

You strap on a 10 dollar tractor air filter and call it Donaldson just so it sounds cool. Love the way they market crap. The suv is great though.

These guys, Resto-Mods done right. Most of the time, I don't care much for them, but some, I do like. This is one that I like.

Good vehicle to use during the zombie apocalypse. Simple, easy to maintain.

[@fraserwright9482]

[@bredlo]

Great company with a passionate, detail-oriented owner. Everything they put out is priced to the heavens; but if you've got the dough, these trucks will never lose their value. What a great vehicle.

[@AnthonyBennettKY]

Mr. Bent lives in a beautiful place full of unrealistic millionaires and sells those idiots hugely marked up toys that will rarely be utilized to 50% of their capability. It will be great to pick up one of these for 10% of purchase in 10 years at the estate auction and it be like brand new.

[@edwardoshoemaker7712]

Sooo true....

[@JojoCrazyCat]

yayyyyyyy

[@mickeythompson9474]

I agree, but the real bad thing is he is driving up cost of this vehicles and parts.

[@WHJeffB]

Bingo!!! I replied to another video featuring these "rich man's toys"... Beautifully done for sure, but way overpriced. It'd be interesting to see what a full on frame off restoration of one of these fine vehicles would cost, minus the overinflated labor and parts costs, as well as the silly and impractical bells and whistles it has.

[@VitariusLaszlo]

this might be the coolest looking car i seen in Jays garage i kinda like how they detune it to be more reliable but the hp seem a bit small for a big car like that
