The only thing better than this old GMC is the story behind her…thanks for another great video…like how you gave your Caddy a name!

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

I agree Glenn. Thanks for watching too.

[@WallysPlace66]

Amen. The word of the Lord endures forever. Cool old truck.

[@edvisser3629]

Another beautiful shop...with the right toys...it's a good day when guy opens his doors and shows you his toys...He has good taste...

[@deadtruckressurection8454]

First of all, love the Verse from Peter. It really goes with old trucks, and life as well. This is a great old Jimmy too. I love the small collectors with their hidden gems. I love old trucks still in their survivor work clothes too. Another great video.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Thank DTR, this time of especially makes me ponder where we’ve been, and more importantly where we are headed. 😊

[@TT-qo9dv]

What a cool truck👍

[@jamescosta8270]

Another great video Dane these trucks from back in the day had the best design so art deco... Look at them today all you see is. Fiberglass.

[@davidsimons6881]

Dane that is a cool old GMC. And the Peterbilt looked good too.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Gorgeous 359 Pete too!!

[@russelltrupia4479]

That ride kind of reminded me of driving a B-61 Mack to Ga. and back, man that was rough but I loved every minute. Thanks for another great video Dane.👍

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Yes, bare bones truckin for sure Russ. Your experiences never cease to amaze me lol. 😬👍

ALSO HAVE A 4cyl GM Diesel in my shop for overhaul at the moment , Keep up your fine work !!!

[@philipburrows]

Dane thanks for taking us along to see the gmc "Jimmy" it looked and sounded great, plus to hear that the gentleman's grandson wants to drive the old gmc is beautiful and sweet. Keep the rubber side down and the shinny side up and we will see you on the back haule brother. From Philip Burrows in Overton on Dee, Wrexham, Wales, UK.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Awesome Phil! 3’s weGone! 😬

[@bryancooper2699]

What a beauty. I like that truck myself. I think it’s great your finding all these old trucks Or better yet. The owners are contacting you to share their classics. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelnault5905]

That year, still transitioning from pre-war art deco styling. From the gauges,and chrome trim on the dash to the headlight pods that are partially integrated.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

I know … so cool!

[@scpittman5769]

Awsome video love seeing vintage trucks like this olny thing missing is a strait pipe for more sound

[@paulgood5298]

That’s a cool looking GMC , nice setup, but 4/71 Detroit would be sweet. Thanks for taking us along. See you on next one Dane. 👋

[@philipmichel215]

Wow a 50 (51) Jimmy .. how cool is that! Got a covered bridge nearby too. Keep finding and uncovering gems like these

[@thomashillman1176]

hi Dane. Norwalk Truck Line had some of these Jimmy's back in the day.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Love the patina on the Jimmy!!

[@bensymington5550]

What a beautiful truck😊

[@andresgoyzueta74]

Good looking truck and the sound is awesome very heavy duty thank you for sharing

[@tommyhall2768]

Good. Morning buddy hope you had a great weekend good to see you again take care buddy

[@darrencatenacci2737]

Boy that’s a neat old truck. Boy they didn’t have much for comfort in those old trucks. That’s neat he got it working with the Cummins gotta go with what’s available tho. He’ll be able to get parts for that easier at least. Hope the boy can drive it to school when the time comes.

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

Really nice rig like that PETE too. Thanks for SHARING DANE

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

What a neat old truck! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ACF6180T]

Totally awesome ! Never paid attention how the cab was configured until he explained it ! & it was so simple ! I liked being schooled on these pioneers of trucking ! & that would look so cool with a lowboy trailer hauling his I-H Farmall behind it ! I really like the way the air line hoses hook up to the back of the cab ! & while it's neat it would be awesome to find a 53 or 54 5 window cab to put on it ! & the engine upgrade is really nice as well . Old Jim has my imagination running wild , & old school is cool again! Thanks for another great video , & content .

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

I agree VC, I love old Jim! Very cool old truck.

[@shellyweiers121]

thanks for taking us along Dane that is one cool and badass gmc your videos are getting better all the time looking forward to the next video

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

You're welcome Shelly glad you guys enjoy them..have a great week.

[@richardkoontz8427]

My older brother used to drive one like it very cool

[@ronmeidlinger249]

My uncle the Buckeye Agitator drove a yellow one like that with black fenders

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Wow I bet it looked cool! 😬👍

[@ronmeidlinger249]

Some car transport company out of Kenosha. Any 50s or 60s truck with black fenders look cool even gasser R190s

[@jonvanhouten8369]

Amen brother!

[@stewartarmstrong3215]

What a great old truck.

[@danielleefryar4115]

Amazing truck. I'd like to see some 4-door dodge d-300's if you ever come across them, then have them next to a d-800 or the CNT-950 "BIghorn"

[@SPR-777]

Awesome truck to feature. Neat

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Cool 😎 covered bridge too!!

[@15alfonzo]

Nice, great to see, thanks for sharing 👍

[@ronnieterry4916]

You should find a radio to put in the dash where the open is in the middle of the dash.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Nice one. Love the old wheels on the front. Probably not geared to do more than 50 MPH (at least Chevy and GMC pickups weren't!)

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

You’re right on 48-50

[@dominicgambino100]

DANE great video & nice old GMC

[@thomashillman1176]

Also, I really like your videos!

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Thanks Thomas😬

[@bobthetruckerguy5770]

Very cool! Thank you!

[@dwightcorbett8889]

Very awesome classic iron. I'm kind of wondering though why it would have a Cummins engine. A GMC without a Detroit seems kind of out of place, especially the earlier ones.

[@walterfoster5682]

That would make a sweet 5th wheel hauler.

[@jonolson2057]

I had a 50 520 coe same cab as a pickup

[@the.porter.productions]

O-H-I-O Porter greetings.🇺🇸 I like the story behind the truck & the fact that it had an Ohio title still. Those old GMCs were quite cool.🥰 My dad had one like it & also had some interesting stories behind it as well…the trailer crashed going into NY tunnel, etc. Hey, I don’t care what engine it has in it…If it runs & rolls down the road then he can enjoy it some more. Better than sitting in the weeds & rusting away! Amen!!! Love the wheels! Very unusual! The fuel tanks were odd as well. I’ve never seen the saddle tanks that split like that. And he plans on reusing them? Wow! And his grandson wants to drive it as well? OooooWeeee! Did you enjoy riding in that thing or what! I love riding in the old trucks. Talking about a piece of history! Was it originally a 6 volt truck? Just wondering. My REO is still 6volt…for now. Good stuff!🥰🤩✌️

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Thanks Paul, it was definitely a blast to ride in and video.

[@francomtz7115]

GMC, Ford, Dodge shared their cabs with the half 3/4 ton cabs on 2.5 ton trucks or bigger.

[@darrellsaunders4267]

Sweet!

[@timscum9224]

That truck should have a 4 53 or a 671 screamin demon detroit

[@Glibzer]

Find a 8v53

[@georgerenton965]

I hate to say it but I agree. A 4-71 would be nice. Who was the brewery that is was in Latrobe, Rolling Rock ?

[@jonathansparks3386]

I’m pretty sure that parts for a DD-453 whether they’re new or sourced from a junkyard are probably few and far between. Besides, that 5.9 Cummins in stock form would run circles around the old engine

[@keithkeil5455]

Very Kool

[@neilmcintosh1200]

You didn't have to go far to look at that one. Some sort of shortish period flatbed trailer would look good behind it, but where would you drop on a good condition 1950s tarp?

[@rongrose3746]

Better than NICE !

[@MaclearieFarms]

I know that guy and his grandson

[@magnuswettermark8293]

Lovely truck. Its should have been a Detroit Diesel in it(in my humble opinion)😁

[@millertime8835]

Beautiful truck, absolutely the wrong engine. Gm 671 or 6v53 or 71. Detroit all the way for that ole girl.

[@brentthomas5815]

you try to find and this guy that lives out here in the Boise area close to the Oregon board that has a cherry 51 GMC

[@derrickodyes1934]

Sweet rig not sure about the flexi hose tho

[@jasontysoe2631]

Why do them old bridges have roofs on the and side why were they not just open bridges ?

[@synthfreakify]

Is that a Mico Brake Lock on the right side of the steering column? Looks like a chicken drumstick 🍗 What were they using this truck for originally?

[@synthfreakify]

Or maybe it has a Diamond 🔹"Dana" logo on it? I still don't know what it's for.

[@dougshadrick9518]

There's no way that 59 Cummins come out of a '70s model f600 650 because that engine didn't come out until the middle early to Middle 80s

[@danielleefryar4115]

I have two questions. Would either a 6V-92TA fit? Or the current 6.7L I6 or 8.3L Cummins fit?

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Interesting thought, but not sure of that on the 50's engine bay size.

[@danielleefryar4115]

@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE ok. Thanks for responding to me. You have a blessed rest of your week.

[@brianconnor5213]

What’s its top speed?

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

I think about 45-50

[@bowslap]

So….how long til we hear of Joyride being peddled to bring this to live at the Trucker’s Lounge?😂(just teasing ya) Cool old Jimmy…..yes, the purists will cringe but that 5.9 B-series Cummins makes it a lot more livable! Very heartening to hear that his grandson has taken such a liking to it…

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Well I gotta tell ya, Joyride has stolen my heart for sure. Don’t think it’s going anywhere. Of course sometimes I’ve been known to change my mind lol. I know, his Grandson gives us all hope lol. 👍

[@blackfox1961]

I enjoy the old trucks and the info but I have to say I dislike the black n white in your videos. I live it a color world and I don't want to see black n white. Just saying.

[@Carla-tz7qw]

5.9 Cummins isn't good power. Kina wimpy.

For someone who finds evangelical Christianity and American patriotism two of the most odious and destructive ideologies on the planet, you lost me long before the truck content got rolling. Wow! Personal beliefs are just that, designed to be kept personal, as in not pushed on anyone.
