Another Old VW Saved From Crusher - 56 Single Cab Truck

[@tyeharper5046]

That thing you found under the dash is a factory VW spare bulb holder. Had several of them but haven’t seen another in years.

[@5150mxVW]

very cool ! I have never seen one , thank you for the info

[@JohnKenIRB233]

We will miss you working in a muddy river! This pullout seems too easy. But I hope this will be a reasonable winter restoration. Yes, looking forward to a will it start. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken

[@brianandrews7099]

This channel is 50% car rescue and 50% earth moving.

[@jd46800]

Thank goodness you found a winter project. Those other 47 winter projects can just wait their turn by golly! Remember....you are the boss and you alone decide which project gets to cut in line. Carry on my wayward son! Oh wait....we aren't in Kansas anymore.

[@5150mxVW]

48 and a 1/2 but who's counting🤣

As a loyal member of the 1000 I do declare Sir you are our Hero.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you being in the 1,000 club, I truly appreciate you

[@jacquelinechellis4036]

You cant save too many you are the vw rescue angel. Thanks again always entertaining.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Jacqueline !

[@deliawolfe]

A worthy rescue from the jaws of time and the elements.

[@richc9503]

That thing's awesome! You and Musty1 can go cruising together. I almost didn't recognize you since you weren't up to your knees in mud and water, are you on vacation? Lol, love your videos!

[@EduardoOliveira-ho3ll]

That was someone's VW passion garage: a single cab and a beetle. Congratulations on the rescue.

[@dalestofer4301]

Jay, there is no mud. Where's the challenge? Yeah yeah, labor is a sunk cost. :) Great looking project. Best of luck.

[@UncsPlacePerformance]

Another vdub saved!! That'll be a nice "winter project." For anyone but you, that would be a decade-long project. I've got faith in you. We're ready for the ride-along.

[@davendi2009]

Lucky's a good name for him, well saved 👍

[@5150mxVW]

agreed , thank you Dave

[@corey6393]

Round tube trans hanger, that is a wolfsburg build. Nice! That little container you found under the dash is a spare parts holder, usually for bulbs, fuses, points, etc.

[@Rock-Forehead]

The jack on spirit was strong with you.

[@5150mxVW]

:))

[@rustyramblings5807]

Seems pretty decent overall.

[@christophermarx344]

Great catch Jay, some challenges, but a lot to work with as well.

[@cidercik]

4:07 spotting the red beetle behind, it's asking to be rescued as well!

[@CrusadesOClock]

Sweet looking truck, just needs a buff 🤣

[@stephenricketts7764]

A new chassis is a good place to start, that thing is 'toast' like the mirror! I think it is well named as Lucky, for the most part the body looks good. You would expect the bed to have a few holes as it was probably a working truck. I think the roof will pull out if you are careful Jason. We will wait for a 'will it run' video on the engine as it might not need much work. Great find Jason and thank you for taking us along and BTW I was shouting at the screen to REMOVE THE CAMERA. 📸 👍👍

[@frankhall4]

that is one of the more complete finds you have come across lately. Would make a cool vehicle .. Thanks for sharing

[@bz3020]

Nice bus I was really envious till you showed the frame but still nice. Was that a still of your son getting a hit? Awesome.

[@stevepringle2295]

You are the VW miracle worker 😅

[@martyworley5427]

22 minutes late but I’m here for another great adventure with Jason.

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you for always tuning in Marty , I really appreciate it

[@warrenmink2429]

Awesome save brother , quick grab and go compared to the creek buses . Congratulations

[@AlanG58]

This was a cakewalk compared to the NH Buses! The cab is amazing on it. The small container is a bulb/fuse kit. When you went to the dealer back in the day for a couple bucks you could buy one of these. It should have one of each bulb in it and a few fuses. The older ones were black and the 60's ones were blue. The frame is pretty roached but anything can be fixed and it's still holding up, so there's that. Very nice find, I'd love an old Single Cab!

[@christophercornetet5037]

Dude that thing looks pretty decent!! Dove blue is such a great color!! Excellent Dude!!

[@johnsarian_cu]

The lack of struggle was kind of .....anti-climactic. You've trained me well.

[@5150mxVW]

haha, well i left out the 1 hour first brake drum struggle haha !

[@dermottbarrett764]

Another one for your “Old Volks Home”, looking forward to this project starting soon we hope

[@Bryan_in_USA]

Thanks for preserving history while having fun!

[@5150mxVW]

Always gotta roll with the punches :)). Thank you Bryan

[@jimihendrix1575]

That VW branded metal container might be a spare bulb holder. Didn't show us the inside, but that's my guess. Cool old bus.

[@5150mxVW]

That’s cool , I’ve never seen One , it was empty….thank you for the info

[@agee8322]

What a brilliant find. You are indeed a lucky man - pun intended :-)

[@steveb9822]

Good luck with this one! Looking forward to your progress.

[@paulbreen5885]

I would like to compliment your hard work and determination on saving all these old classics!

[@5150mxVW]

thank you Paul, I appreciate that

[@michaelcaradonna9347]

You have a rare dealer accessory bulb & fuse holder !

[@5150mxVW]

very cool, thank you for the ID on it Michael

[@rainerterres2086]

I think the box you find is for light bulps and fuses. I have one with bosch logo ,its also black.

[@MZ-gz8vz]

Why pump iron when you can jack VW's all day? I think you just discovered the next great work out! I love your channel!

[@wildthinair]

Jen approves this acquisition 👍🏻

[@5150mxVW]

yes :))...well i might need to move a few to the shop and doo some leaves first haha

[@styrenerelics]

Maybe the neighbor will turn on his garden hose and start a new muddy river. So you feel at home more... Sorry I shouldn't say that. Great score, this is gonna be cool !!

[@nosvw2122]

56 nice find a wolf burg built truck

[@5150mxVW]

yes ! :)) thank you NosVw

[@dirtyroofer3678]

Very nice definitely has the cool crusty look.

[@taurota1554]

outstanding and awesome content as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you for coming along :))

[@tollefjohnson4785]

Got to love am old pickup! That will be awesome after the rebuild! I have been working on a 36 Chevy pickup - not a VW, but a 77-year family truck!

[@grauerjoker]

That was far too easy for you. 😂

[@michaelcaradonna9347]

Are you going to rescue the orange Beetle also?

[@IntegraDIY]

can’t wait to see you start working on this one. the frame repair will be cool to see

[@carlosdelcastillo1513]

This rescue is kids play compared with the last one

[@5150mxVW]

true story indeed

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Congrats on getting this one. You earned a somewhat easy recovery after everything you went through with the buses. The jack and rake are certainly flashbacks of your last recovery. I gotta be honest, I kept looking in the house windows expecting to see a spirit LOL... This would look so cool all restored and painted the blue and white. Yeah it needs a lot of work, but after seeing the last two that you rescued, this one looks surprisingly good. I'm lookin forward to seeing videos of this one over the winter.

[@davedearden3451]

Amazing work again watching it 7 mins after you posted 😂 lovely the colour!!

[@CMSgarage96]

Again, Nice work! Your recent videos have got me looking for a split bus project now haha. I just have to get my wife's approval first! I already have a beetle among other projects, so it going to be difficult sell haha.

[@angelsone-five7912]

My god, you don`t stop do you? Take care fella.

[@5150mxVW]

gotta keep going :)). thank you

[@vwcadwagon]

No mud? No water? No spirits? No bad weather? Where's the adventure in that? lol Awesome find! I used to own/drive a '61 Single Cab. Looking forward to seeing that dash buffed out and hearing that 36 run again. As always, looking forward to the next video. Take care! (BTW, I was yelling at you to move the camera! Thank God you heard me. lol)

[@rogercamp6071]

When I was in junior high school in the early seventies I used to see one of those with a stubby little bed with nice stake sides on it, always wondered what became of it 😆

[@scottnyc6572]

This would make a great VW ice cream truck.

[@donenke5607]

I really enjoy your videos and apologize if I’ve missed this in previous ones. Are you recovering for parts only? Where do you store all of these and what ends up happening to all of your vehicles? Do you flip some? I just watched your entertaining and interesting video on the recent two busses you rescued. Where do you keep those? Thanks for the videos and keep them coming. Blessings…

[@5150mxVW]

thank you for the kind words 5607....I have many, many , many cars in storage. I have the buses in a stream , 15w is still on the trailer. I have zero cars listed for sale but i do sell a car or two if they do not " talk to me " .....some of the biggest rot boxes are my fav cars haha. I did have to sell off a lot of cars from the lot at my previous shop ( i got evicted ...landlord son thought he had a guy to offer more rent $ and got ghosted ...TWICE LMAO . )

[@donenke5607]

@@5150mxVW Thanks for the reply. I wasn’t trying to be nosy but was curious how you manage it all. Keep up the great work and love seeing the interaction with your son and keeping his activities prioritized as well (i.e. baseball). Take care!

[@avanm420]

She's a beaut!!

[@chriswills4064]

Hilarious. Best condition VW he's touched for a while, now designated "winter project", just a light renovation... first thing he does is smash the front windows in...mate, you give me the biggest smiles per episode 😂

[@ralphhowes]

Jason said goodbye and the episode ended. Is he ok?

[@dougdunham7607]

I haven’t finished watching yet, but seems like way less spirits at this site!

[@timeads2036]

Crusty's sibling!

[@avanm420]

Nice eye glasses. You are looking more and more like a college professor

[@5150mxVW]

haha, safety glass :))...but i've needed glasses since i was 18

[@meljewell938]

You can shatter glass by using a piece of spark plug ceramic.

[@VorlonFrog]

What a piece of cake compared to the buses in a stream. Not without challenges, but nowhere near the difficulty.

[@michaelmccann4706]

Jeez, after the last rescue you'd think think this guy would take a vacation first, like normal folk..... Oh wait.... Its Jay that crazy VW guy, AKA "One Man Army"!....

[@ocavant]

Those gate hinges...hahahahaha🤣🤣🤣 New England practicality in play.

[@stormcloud3027]

Excellent project for the winter do it up Mustie1 style

[@Hanlonsgarage]

Anyone ever tell you that you could be Jon Bernthal's twin???

[@danoneill2846]

Cool VW

[@PONO-go3ee]

W👀W you found a Gem with some rust But That Stinky Tarp Saved it From Rotting away covered it with Mold Corrosion Had to Fight with to Live 😂🤣Who Can’t Love a Tiffany BlueBweetle Truck it’s a Royal blue , DAYUUUM , it’s Been thru Many Winters 😂🤣And Summers 💦💦💦💦

[@Goomer]

That one was easy, what a beaut! (Another) Winter project...lol.

[@nhaskett1054]

your videos are great, lets see some baseball

[@Zombiereaper1]

Ok, now go drop it in a mud puddle in the middle of the woods! Then go dig it out! 😂

[@ineverhadthemoney7857]

there 1 more Vw Beetle in the yard

[@Mikefngarage]

a 56 sc in any condition is worth saving. There are not very many left.

[@philippicard3652]

Is the red bettle for sale? Take care.

[@Mikefngarage]

On something like that you remove the bed tops. Because they are super bad. Then remove the supports on the top. Remove the floors. in the cargo area. start with new frame rail sections. ( I make them out of square tubing) easier to work from the top down. Really tough save there. But worth it to me.

[@Mikefngarage]

I would probably use a rotisserie on that one just because it would be easier.

[@daviddewitt7524]

The little container is a spare light bulb holder.

[@besenzon1]

How do you keep finding them 😳😳😳😳

[@MikeAarset]

This doesn't seem any challenging at all :)

[@KevinSimpson_576]

Just what I came here to say 😂 where’s the ankle deep mud, where’s the stream, where are the evil spirits 😊

[@vw64manyrd]

comment for the youtube algorithm. Got crows feet? Thanks for the videos. 👍

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

I wonder if there’s a rehab out there for people addicted to rescuing old vws cuz you need to go lol

[@ineverhadthemoney7857]

lol Iam chocking I AM chocking

[@almclean4835]

Nice. Next time you’ll find one you can drive home 🤔

[@johnmallett4983]

I am worried that your lack of energy is the after effects of CoVid. It is misunderstood and the effects can last a long time. One of the recommendations is that you shouldn’t work too hard for weeks after, otherwise it’ll last longer. Take care.

[@michaelbrown6927]

Isn't that little container for spare bulbs?

[@VitorCamilo-bx1qj]

And what about those 2 rescued VW Buses? Was it possible to at least use the headlights?

[@onesilvergrey]

I think I liked you better when wrestling busses out of the muddy stream, this one seemed just too easy….😂🙏👍

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes that a rare Truck Peace out

[@chrismooney225]

Spare bulbs ?

[@volktales7005]

Nice rescue, but we all want to know if there was anything cool in the garage in the background!

[@bjorn2290]

extra lamp box

[@G40daily]

You doing a clean up vid on the 15 window?

[@nosvw2122]

The box you found is a bulb kit

[@vagabond96h]

It's more fun to watch at -10 degrees and eight incnes of snow on the ground. Ha.

[@my31and37]

very cool

[@rolandtb3]

How many bus rescue/projects for 24/25?
