[@robintaylor7548]

I was a cable tech. in the army, and what we use to do was put axle grease on a rag and then run the cable through the rag as you rewind. And you will find out that the cable will last alot longer.

Robin Taylor with some really thick gloves hopefully.

Once you find the cure , the problem always goes away ! . Man that will be my new choice of thought of the day right there !!! . definitely some wisdom here . Thanks Rick .

Great video thanks for posting

[@joanneerb1634]

I always carried 4' long hardwood 4x4. You tied it to the frame in front of the front spring hangers with a small chain or rope or if your j-hook chains were long enough you used them. It beats having to put a front bumper on. I towed for a salvage yard with a wrecker and a large Louisville rollback for 24 years. Watching your story brings back memories. Paul

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Joanne Erb Great Tip Paul. Thank you. -Rick

[@Dmax04]

I love to see old iron still at work. I had a 50 Chevy 3600 I wanted to put on a 4x4 frame but never got around to it. Enjoy watching your videos.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Dmax04 Thank you for the encouragement and Thank's 'Fer Watchin' Its never to late to build something my friend. -Rick

[@4-WHEEL-DRIVE]

SWEET 4X4 I LOVE IT AND NICE TOW TRUCK TOO , GOOD JOB SIR

[@mchl8]

I grew up around a slightly newer version of this, 3/4 ton . I don't think the fenders were tiped to a point at the headlight im not sure now. The wheel wells were In the body. It had a strange v6 reliable as can be and had its own sound. Memories

[@KennyClos]

Looks like Green Acres on that tractor

[@adamadams379]

hey buddy just a safety tip, never pull your cable all the way out it can hurt you ....0:33

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks for the tip Adam. -Rick

My '53 Dodge needs choke like that on a cold start. And the carb is rebuilt. I think i has more to do with the mechanical fuel pump than anything else. Love the videos.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+StinkySQL Sixpence Well...that tow truck has a new home now and the owner bought a carburetor from me to rebuild, so hopefully he has it all sorted out now. I agree though, those old mechanical fuel pumps had issues. Thank you, -Rick

[@slowpoke96Z28]

It should need a choke for cold starts

[@pv12261963]

A CLASSIC classic truck rescue video. Hope the new year brings nothing but GOOD to you guy's. Before any names. Hey Rick what happened to that FUNKY hat? Kind of a German look.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I've still got the hat my Friend. I'll sport it for you in an upcoming video. Happy New Year to you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@pv12261963]

love to find a 55 /56/57 pick up some day there hard to find

[@theawesomedude8868]

+rob williams yes i know i want one as well

[@squarebodychummins_guy9478]

Or any of them but id rather have a tow truck i wanna use it as a work truck make it road worthy and clear coat everything so it doesn't rust anymore

[@1964corvan]

my good friend is building a 1955 chevy truck and he needs a pair of decent front fenders. do you have any for sale that you can ship via grayhound? they can be a little rusty and while any old color will a green would be preferable. as long as there not way overpriced money isnt an issue.

[@glennsrailroading]

I hope you're in business in a few years when I can look for a 57 Step side. I only need a 235 with a 3 or 4 speed preferably. Hopefully they'll still be this side of $10k then for one with cab corners.

[@GMbowtie350]

The tow bar doesn't go under the bumper. That's a good way to create slack and have you J hooks fall out if that's what you're using. Plus you run your chains to the hooks in the top of the sling before you lift it. The chains are supposed to hold the weight of the truck, not the rubber.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You are correct my Friend. Thank you. -Rick

[@dexterpowell2483]

Place looks like a haven for them trucks would like to go there I'm currently searching for a taskforce lcf truck

[@briggsmadness2083]

I wish that was my backyard

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Which one? We can make that happen...Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@steveraus3495]

Is this the truck that you built into Buddy? Buddy came out GREAT! Also, I did see Jamie very briefly in this video. Y'all are a genuine inspiration to me. It's truly awesome to see how you've been blessed since you made this video a few years ago. Today, I was telling my dad about y'all and teared up a little bit when I told him about the video where Jamie got baptized. Which one was that? I want to show it to him!

[@davelindstrom6005]

That was CTR-2. It's the one that came up on my screen to introduce me to the CTR series, and I've been hooked ever since!! Be blessed, my friend!

[@tomrausch7014]

Haven’t seen your move TO the CTR in Canby for a long time. I got a different perspective now.

It's been a long road Tom.

You need to put drainage pipe in or change landscaping

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Well. that wasn't my property...and I was moving my trucks off that rented storage space....so, no I didn't feel a need to put in a drainage pipe or change the landscaping.

[@andrewbrenneman9592]

Are you really filming from Mulino, Or? That's awesome. Is that tow truck still in service or just show?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Andrew Brenneman That particular Tow-Truck is now at home with a very good friend of mine in the Netherlands. My Current Tow-Truck, Homer (and the one I intend to keep) can be seen in some of my more recent videos. None Of my tow-trucks are ever 'For Hire', but they do go rescue other old trucks and sometimes lend a hand without seeking payment. Yes, we are in the Mulino area. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@rondyechannel1399]

I could tell you were on the "wrong side" of the Cascades by that white cue ball tan on your head! I live on the sunny side of the mountains and do have a 1957 1/2 ton Napco in Sandstone Beige. Got life by the b***s huh? Just kidding but you know how us Oregonians are.

[@tinman-2425]

I'v just stated watching your vids Like you I love old trucks I'v not watched all you vids but do you sell any of your trucks? I live out in Colorado and it would be a big he.p I use fire wood lots of it some thing a little bigger then a pick up . I need a flat bed like that green one the GMC. Or what ever.Thanks If I don't hear from you well I had to ask.

[@Mr.PudgeMuffin]

aren't the wheel dollies also used for vehicles with 4x4 if you cant put the transfer case in neutral?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes, but all Napco 4x4 trucks can be put in neutral....Keep in mind that a rare, automatic (Hydramatic for GMC and Powerglide for Chevy) wouldn't have neutral in 2-wheel drive versions, but the addition of the Napco 4x4 package would enable neutral via the transfer case. Hope that makes sense. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@cold-lifestyleprepper3080]

So just curious so the second clutch to run the winch takes place of a PTO now a days and it's coming from the transmission? Manuel truck and needs a clutch for the winch just confused me srry

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

No, just one clutch. Transmission in neutral, then engage PTO....now the PTO acts like its own gear in the transmission. Then when you engage the clutch, it turns the PTO, just as it would normally turn whichever gear the transmission would be in if it weren't in neutral. Hope that makes sense. -Rick

@@ClassicTruckRescue Where are you located?

[@buas7]

how does it works with the rubber flaps on the back of the tow truck im 3D printing one but i cant seem to figure it out

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Works good on old vehicles with big, sturdy bumpers.

[@xmo552]

He showed you. He did a proper hookup at 17:25. There's a chain with a large J-hook. You hook it to the axle/suspension/frame. At the bottom of the sling there's a small chain-hook welded on, hook the chain there and loop it around. At the top of the sling there's another chain-hook, hang the excess chain there. Done.

Hi do you still have the 57 Chevrolet 4x4 and if so do you want to sell it. Thanks Terry

+Average Joe Really? Hoarders don't usually ship parts and trucks on a daily basis. -Rick

[@arjanwilbie2511]

+Classic Truck Rescue it is good to be a hoarder of parts, the old stuff is better then the new stuff.

[@GMbowtie350]

Completely wrong way to use a tow sling.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

That was my first time moving anything with my first tow truck Andrew. I have since learned how to hook it up properly. Thanks, -Rick

[@GMbowtie350]

+Classic Truck Rescue My mistake. On my first comment I kinda came off a little condescending and I didn't mean to. My apologies for that. In all fairness I don't think anyone hooks up those slings right the first time. Didn't mean to irritate, only educate.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I understand. I end up doing a lot of things out of necessity that I don't really have a lot of experience with. Its all good my friend. You were right. -Rick

[@GMbowtie350]

+Classic Truck Rescue I know all about that. I kinda do the same thing you do but you find cooler stuff. I'm 28 and I've been towing and flipping vehicles since I was 14. I just love doing it just to see what I can buy or trade for. I've seen more than a few of your videos and I swear I can't figure out where you find half this stuff. You definitely have a gift for it.

The hunt is my favorite part me friend. Thank you.
