Abandoned 1986 Dodge Ram Barn Find | Will It Run & Drive Home After 15 Years? | Turnin Rust

On this episode of Turnin Rust, the guys venture out to lay eyes for the first time on this abandoned 1986 Dodge Ram D100. Finding it sitting under a barn for over 15 years, the crew digs through and diagnose what it might take to get this forgotten first gen farm truck up and alive again. Come missing parts, angry wood bees, and hot weather, the team is determined not only to revive her but to attempt to get her back on the road again. Will this ol work horse live to make its first road trip in years, or does this story end with a not so happy ending? Tag along for all the hard work, dedication, and good times as we find out together!!

Thanks this was a FUN VIDEO TO WATCH and God Bless y'all🙏🙏🙏👀👍

[@troyadams1076]

Best of the best God bless u guys

[@robertbrooks3341]

Those old trucks are very hard on gas even with the two barrel carburetor I had three or four of them and could not keep gas in them the dodge 318 did not know what fuel economy was

[@kencramer1697]

Looks good guys! Hopefully I can get my old 85 up and running this summer!

[@howardfalkenberry960]

If only I could afford it, would love to have an old 80s truck k to tool around in again.

[@raymondtrotter4655]

To answer your questions about Mud Dobbers, they build the dirt clods forming those tubes then they get even busier. They lay an egg in the back of them then they're on a quest for certain spiders. They sting the spider but only to parilze them. The egg hatches and the larvae eats the spiders as they grow then bust through a thin exit wall of mud to escape. Loving what your doing now for years. Keep em coming. Truck Driver Ray ✝️ GOD BLESS ALL 🙌

[@rdbrnr86gt]

Weirds me out... "parked since about 2008" My brain says, "last week?" Then I realize that was 15 years ago. Time is a weird thing and is unforgiving to all of us and everything we've created.

[@wes11bravo]

Josh - I drive an '01 TJ. I see "2008" and I think "wow that's nice - almost new!" Haha. I'm with ya, brother!

[@Robrt32]

Same here,I saw a 98 model the other day with a antique tag , my first thought was that isn’t old enough to have that but it is, the 90s seem like just a few years ago to me. The older you get, the faster time goes by.

[@InRustWeTrustcustoms]

Joints are a wierd thing too. Smoke another one feller

God has built us to fall apart so we can return to Him. These bodies are just rental cars.

[@goodfriendg]

Love the old Dodge trucks. Fuel, spark and water in the radiator is all you need. Thanks for saving another classic.

[@hayneshvac2]

If ever you have to switch to the old style ignition system, do keep in mind it has to be accompanied by a vacuum advance style distributor. As for the transmission fluid, on a mopar, always be sure to check fluid levels whilst in neutral, the pump does not operate in park.

[@raymondtrotter4655]

Helpful tip. I've found it to be most beneficial to use unfolded cardboard to lay on under the vehicle. 1- It helps you to get under and up. 2- It keeps your clothing cleaner. Hope this helps. Truck Driver Ray ✝️

[@charlescastillo8870]

We call them a " Poor Boys Creeper"😅😅

[@robertlacob8831]

Nice job fellas! Remember that all Chrysler trucks, Jeeps, since way back(don't know the exact start date) have plastic fuel tanks. Any computer controlled vehicles really need a lot of body grounds also. Someone will love restoring that old truck.

[@MichaelOberembt]

I like this truck, it is simple with no bells and whistles. I hope it goes to a good home.

[@krisjj1]

I would slap a four barrel on her, recover the seat then just put her back to work. The old Doge is already perfect. Great video guys. 👍🏼

[@mariusmcleod2487]

Oh my lord a first generation ram !!! My grandparents had one it was a darker red then that one but none the less it was a beautiful truck brings back some fond memories of my grandpa with his.

[@raystevens1458]

The reason for going thru so much gas is this : On the fuel filter there is a hose that comes off the side and goes to a return line back to the gas tank. So when running off of a external tank it is sending gas back to the main tank instead of the one you're using. Had that problem myself and found out the hard way, you should have noticed you fuel level raising on the gauge, if it works.

[@LawdyLawd]

I helped my sister & bro in law put on a rodeo in Quincy, IL June of 85 and the Dodge dealer let us put 2 new 86 pickups out for display that could a been siblings. I drove 1 to and back to Hanibal. 👍

[@jdeno76]

I was excited for this one when I saw the red dodge with that white aluminum camper top. My family had a 1987 short bed with a 225 slant six that we vacationed in through the 90s. White camper with a sliding glass and a weather gasket between truck and camper. Full size mattress in the bed with a custom bunk at the front and a custom wood box dad bolted to the frame for our luggage and coolers. From Indiana, we drove to VA, GA, TN, MI, and many other states and once to Canada. Mom, Dad and 7 kids. Roadside meals, hotels and many sights to see. This will be one of my favorite videos. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Great content as usual!

[@rexkean]

That was cool. I had bought a 1986 D100 new, and drove it from Chicago to San Diego and back with zero issues. Only mine was a straight 6 with a 4 spd. Had it for 5 yrs, zero problems. Thats for the great memories you brought back for me. May God continue to bless ya'll and yer families

[@martinharris5017]

Never thought I'd see any potential in a plain old 80s era pickup, but I can imagine this thing with the patina retained, a mild lowering job, and nice period slotted mag wheels with big and little tires for some hot rod rake. I'd put a 4 barrel and some headers on the motor and maybe finish off with some signwriting on the doors and a Mexican blanket on the bench seat.

[@wes11bravo]

Same. Isn't it the kind of truck we'd barely notice years back? And this one they grabbed up for $800! I don't think any of us would pass that by, no matter how much possible marital strife it might cause for some. :P

[@murrijuana2842]

It looks like a child with the syndrome of the downs tried to make a Chevy.

[@NealBickler]

Love this… had an ‘85 and had tons of fun with 3 on the floor!

[@jimamundsen7029]

Great video y'all. Love to see more "drive it home" videos! If it was my truck...I'd restore it to original. Redo the interior and paint it in original colors. I'd probably take the camper shell off and drive it like a trudk. Nice Dodge Ram!

[@wcasby0204]

I have faith in god you guys can get this truck running. I would keep as a shop truck. Love you guys.

[@jetstreek17]

I like your live events.. but I love it when you put out this kind of video where it's just you and your pops turnin wrenches.. God Bless.

[@Mikie1977]

best project ever , Old Is Gold

[@texasvet7241]

Great video. I can’t wait for the next 20 years. But I don’t think a "will it charge" video on an old F150 Lightning will be very exciting to watch.

[@coolingexperts1580]

My In-laws & I used to buy & flip vehicles. Good, fine, HONEST dollars !!!!

[@curtislee3192]

It was fun watching you guys bring it back to life! She cleaned up nice...sweet truck!

[@richardhill4862]

Hats off to guys, you did good. Had a old Dodge like that one and it was a good one, hope it goes to a good home.

[@TurninRust]

Appreciate the support!

[@beedalton9675]

@@TurninRust nice video guys 😀 I own a 85 d150 stepside shortbed I put a hei gm module and it runs with Mopar ballast risistor & coil.. and I have my ecu original box for backup still works after 36 years lol

[@chargermaster586]

Love those 1972-1993 Dodge trucks and ram charger underrated compared to Ford and GM love how it still has the ram hood ornament Definitely Ram Tough! Dodge Trucks!

[@TurninRust]

Agree, that hood ornament is too cool!

[@ksokie63]

That was a good run and drive. The old dodge is definitely in good shape. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 👋

[@TurninRust]

You too! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bobbushell7299]

One of the things that made me subscribe to your channel. Is the fact y'all are Christians. God bless y'all.

[@thomaswermager1819]

Thank You all for a Great video! I have to admit I’m not much of a Mopar guy, but that old horse doesn’t look to bad! It should make someone a Good daily driver.

[@alanstant9356]

So you guys are so amazing when your working together like that. It's awesome to see what you guys pull off next lol. God bless you guys in all you do, it's our Lord behind all of it.

[@TurninRust]

Thank you so much for the kind words and support!

[@philipsearls1946]

Once again, Brilliant video. Fascinating watching you guy's bring the old cars back to life. Enjoy being a Father, It's the best feeling in the World. God bless.

[@richardgreening3533]

Great find. Dodge fan 😁

[@democrat7441]

I have a 75 d200 sat for just as long. Enjoy! Great trucks made to last. Parts are easy to find. So easy to work on. Simple.

[@Turntable_Currents]

Great video. I drove an 88 Dakota in high-school, this reminded me of it so much. Brought back the memories. If this were mine, I'd leave it as is and drive it down the road. Thanks for the video!

[@ethanlemley5259]

Just pulled a 84 d150 out of a field a couple months ago and didn’t know if y’all knew or not but if this has that 727 trans it will not pump fluid thru it while in park and will burn it up but I love the content and hope to see more mopar content

[@jfarr5775]

I have 89 d150 I love these trucks. Believe it or not that body is perfect the rust around that chrome bad.

[@walter2990]

Wow, that left hand "Bat turn" at 1:25 was pretty scary! I jumped outta my seat! Please be careful!

[@delayneguthrie8280]

I love how you guys work together

[@craigdowden4788]

I had the use of one just like this (except silver) when I worked in Canada back in 96-97. LOVED that darn thing

I have worked on a lot of vehicles. But that is the first American made vehicle with the starter on the left side . Grat video keep it up. God bless.

[@brucearnold6599]

Love watching you guys. God bless !!

[@yotatech04]

I'd love to find one of these trucks. I rode in my great grandpa's for many years growing up. I wish I could find that one.

[@maistermahen7746]

This truck looks amazing...the hood emblem too cool. Great job guys reviving this old truck. Keep it up. Saying all the way from Mauritius..😎👍

[@TheG3nman]

That plate you had, long rectangle one....does indeed hold the top of the radiator...has screws along the top portion above the grill and sets across the top of the radiator....kinda how you put it in the video. When you went to the Pickers, I saw a Ramcharger that would have the same setup likely as that truck for donor parts.....nice to see an old Dodge make it back on the road.

[@TurninRust]

Thanks for the info, I’ll have to see about getting that put back on it!

[@tectalabyss]

The mud dubbers. That what we call them here in Tennessee. Lay eggs and put spiders in to feed their young. I love the old style Dodge trucks. Great job guys.

[@kevinwright1551]

Nice job on getting the old Dodge Ram running again. Back home again. Sweet. Keep up the great work. Okay.

So sorry for your loss Scott. Thank you so much for your support on watching the show! Luckily the wood bees were about the top of our problems lol

Hi Im viewing from england, what a great team you are, I particularly enjoyed the walk around the pickers yard. many thanks

[@bobtucker8875]

That was great 👍 content guys. Really like the little truck 😂. Thanks for sharing.

[@scott.t1714]

What a great episode that was keep it up guys well done

[@garyjubar5733]

I have an 87 D150 with the 4 barrel 318 and the 727. The po had removed the computer and the air pump and could never get it to run right so he sold it to me. I replaced the original quadrajet with a 1406 Edlebrock. Much metter. Then removed the EGR valve, put a set of 318Magnum exhaust manifolds on with a full dual exhaust . (minus the cats) Still had trouble starting on occasion. Replaced that pesky ballast resister twice, the ignition module and finally replaced the the whole thing with the small cap HEI system. End of problem. Truck runs great and gets about 2 miles per gallon more than the factory says for the 2 barrel 318.

[@nicolasroque163]

Mr lance god bless u n ya dad on saving those wrecks from the crusher.but u have two trucks one red n that white truck

[@roadmaster92]

Great job on getting her running and driving.

Wood bees don't mess with ya unless you mess with them. I think dirt dobbers lay eggs in those clumps.

Love old dodge trucks

[@SpeedKing49]

Great video guys, love the first generation Dodge pickups, getting harder to find, especially up here in Canada. I really like it the way it is as an ol farm truck, but think it would also be cool lowered and mild custom.

[@matthewdove3520]

Love watching these videos, great content and like what you do? From London uk

[@kenelkins8255]

In response to your question, what would I do if it were my truck? I would discard the topper sand and paint it, put a nice set of chrome wheels and tires, dual exhaust, new carpet and seat material and completely replace any mechanical defective parts.

[@Brock_Landers]

Man, those old LA engines are hard to kill. I had a 360 LA in my 1984 Ramcharger with a Carter Thermoquad in it with a 918 trans and a NP205 transfer case. That thing would go anywhere and it cruised just fine.

[@michaelrutland7861]

Good transformation. Old gal runs great for her age!

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

I like the camper shell. I actually am planning on getting on for my pickup soon.

[@deathunit1]

2 down falls I've ran into when working on an LA engine is timing chain and electrical. They run so long they stretch the chain and/or skip timing. Orrrr the electronics fail between the battery and the ignition/ spark unit. Best net is to delete the lean burn and diagnose from there. If not, there are plenty of videos explaining how to make power, to which you can take points from to make it run like new with out breaking head gaskets. Good job with it yall!

[@fredmaxwell9619]

I love that truck, I had a 1985 one and wish I still had it. Mine was a W-150 with a 360.

[@BiohazardDingleberry]

Made me laugh when you said that starter spins for 30 seconds after you let off. Those are the old gear drive mopar starters for ya! They have a distinct sound to them!

Great revival video guys. I am working on 88 ram charger currently also very straight no rust motors great almost the same look as your truck but has Efi they just don’t make trucks like this anymore its up to us to keep them running and get them out there

[@chaddavis7228]

The rust in these trucks are around the top of the windshield,the rockers and under the wiper cowl . Have a good day and keep up the good work

[@Jerkwad152]

Turnin' Rust is a good descriptor of my joints. EDIT: GM is the only American car company that came up with a decent electronic ignition system for the 70's and 80's.

[@TheCrackerBox]

Thanks for another, Brothers

[@shanemorrissey7514]

Nice to see the new video. The truck looks like a small version of farm truck from Street outlaws

If I could afford this one It would make A great old farm truck again at our little farm. Love watching you all get these older vehicles running and driving again. Great vid guys.
