1979 Dodge Crew Cab, Work progress! First Drive! Exhaust, Wheels & Tires, Bumper straightening, etc.

[@marklevine-es2br]

Austin, great video!! Keep up the good work!!!!

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Still plenty more to do! Stay there for more updates on the truck!

[@michaelruys5021]

Looking great. Would drive this before a late model any day of the week.

[@jefferysmith3930]

Nice truck. Love the mile long shift lever

[@ryanwitman8672]

I saw a father and son in my neighborhood working on a similar truck to this one. These crew cabs are quite rare, it’s cool that you found one in such great shape 👍

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

I had been looking for one for quite some time. I definitely lucked out finding this one!

[@bigw8549]

Nice truck. I love that body style. I bought a new Ramcharger in 1986. Loved that truck.

I really do like the longer videos I'm disabled and I stay home and I watch a lot of TV and and a lot of KZbin and I do like the long ones an hour or two hours I'm good with them...

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

Thanks for replying. Sometimes footage can easily be several hours long. Some things like tightening a bunch of bolts I normally speed up or cut out as it’s nothing special. Didn’t know if people actually preferred seeing everything real time even if it makes it much longer.

[@scottyg7284]

I’ll add to the liking of the longer videos, I often put on a playlist of yours and fall asleep to them here in Sunny Scotland.

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

@@scottyg7284 I’ll keep that in mind. I guess if folks want shorter viewing times they can skip parts of the video. I add chapters within each video to make going to each part easier.

[@michaeladamo6279]

You’re not kidding about them tires! The ones you pulled off are exactly what I have on my Chevy Xpress

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

They just didn’t look right on this truck at all!

[@michaeladamo6279]

@@ObsoleteAutomotive I agree 100!

[@davewinter2688]

71+ year old FUD here. Nice truck. I didn’t hear what engine or rear end gears. Is that in another video? Happy motoring!😊

[@johncornell3665]

Cool crew cab Dodge! Thanks Austin

[@danielulz1640]

Old muffler go boom 💥! Truck nice now.

[@HelpingHand-ic4wt]

you work with enough older, pre-muscle mopar stuff that it's usually an educational experience no matter how long the video is. But when was the last time you watched a bad mopar video?

[@dh2360]

Cool Dodge truck, crew cabs are useful.

[@danam0228]

Looks and sounds great. Good job and congrats

[@shaunclifton5281]

I Love that truck !

[@ricknel76nelson54]

Nice work. Were would you be without your Swiss army knife? 😂

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

I’d be lost. I wouldn’t know what to do!

[@danclancy6535]

Sweet !!

[@johnkendrick7304]

You did a great job on your exhaust, it came out very nice but I've always found it to be best to use some exhaust paste around any joints that come together. Guaranteed seal

[@ObsoleteAutomotive]

I figured for $80 it wasn’t too bad of a deal!

[@johnkendrick7304]

@@ObsoleteAutomotive absolutely fantastic deal and it sounded mint

[@ryanwitman8672]

Also, the Sprinter Van rims would not look too bad on one of these trucks if you were to paint them white

[@danielulz1640]

He did paint them white.
