ABANDONED 29 YEARS! Will This 1975 Dodge Truck RUN and DRIVE Again?

[@GrowN256]

I work with Dylan's father and I tell you he's one of the nicest, humble and walking encyclopedia on vehicles, people I know. I imagine this is like watching Troy when younger, if KZbin was around. Great job!

[@thisisdicey613]

Well said 👏 👌 👍 top job Dylan keep up the good work from James Dyson in the uk 🇬🇧 👍

[@richardbates2367]

You mean uncle Tony's garage

[@walterrobbins4470]

Best person to get that pickup. If it was a dog it would be wagging its tail knowing that it has been rescued

[@davidbryant5875]

I agree

[@jimgraves4197]

That wheel propbably rusted on because it was the one everyone peed on. I love seeing these vehicles run again after laying dormant for decades.

[@randallsmerna384]

😂😂😂 I was thinking it was because that's where the water from the shed roof fell. 🤷‍♂️

[@imsmart_yetdumb9278]

I betcha it was peed on by people and dogs alike. 😂

[@thomasculligan4348]

I really like how you have taken Brier him under your wing and are teaching him the ropes! It’s not only important for him to know about vehicles and mechanics, but you are teaching him a lot about life as well. Keep up the great work!

Safety glasses while using disc grinder Dylan

[@randallsmerna384]

Let him get a metal sliver in his eye and that'll learn him... Heck, I wear 'em all the time and I still have had my share! Painful and a HUGE PITA to deal with - ER or ophthalmologist, dilation ointment, antibiotic goop, painful eye irritation, eye patch - plus the time and hassle to get there and deal with it. And that's just for a sliver. If anything bigger gets in there he could not only need surgery but could lose it.

[@livinMOPAR]

Add Jack stands to the list of equipment you need to use

[@aaronpriest5677]

Thats what I was gonna comment! I had a grinder slip out of my hand while cutting exhaust and narrowly missed my scalp. Never again will I use a grinder without protection.

[@chrisprieur270]

I was thinking the same thing. I know people who work/have worked in shops for a living that have had slivers in their eyes at least once. Some learned their lesson, some didn't and ended up with slivers in the eye multiple times.

[@lotharrenz4621]

also add hearing protection to the list. I have met people who refused to wear them, and some were deaf to the bone...

[@billyduffany3387]

Great video Dylan but try wearing safety glasses or even sunglasses to help keep metal out of your eyes when grinding. It sucks getting metal in your eyes. It is nice to see a young man that can drive a three on the tree.

[@brentchristians9888]

First, EYE PROTECTION AND GRIND SHIELD. Second, I love this truck. Had a very rusty 79 d150 as my first truck. With the leaning tower of "power" under the hood this is a very rare survivor. I would leave the power train just as is. Fix the door and hood latch and take it to the local cruises and car shows. Oh, give the Cordoba its wheels back. That truck would look better with white wheels and dog dish hubcaps. Thanks for the video it makes me miss my gas guzzling 79 D150 with a 360.

[@sergiorodriguez7955]

I rarely comment. Thank you for posting this. My dad had a 79 D100 when I was a kid. I used to hate it at the time but I learned a lot on that truck. My dad is 80 and cant do a whole lot anymore. We watched this video together and had a great time.

[@zanderxymox]

I absolutely love slant 6 motors, I was actually more excited to see that over a V8 in this truck 😂

[@claztube]

Seems like there's alot of love here for the 'slant 6' which I wholeheartedly agree is, especially today with the cost of fuel where its at and going. A fine engine for just tooling about, sans any serious heavy load in tow.

[@MrBrombomb]

@@claztubeNot only that. The 225 slant 6 is known for being durable & reliable as well. As the old saying goes, “You can’t kill a Slant!”

[@philgrimsey3637]

I hate it. Last time I had that "well, that went better than expected" feeling, I was changing the clutch in a Rover 45 (mid 90s civic). Fought me coming apart. Went together like a dream. I kept asking myself why and what was I forgetting that made it so easy 😂😂😂

[@kermit4688]

I had a 73 D100 long bed with slant 6 4 speed. Love those trucks

[@cuengineer10gotigers87]

I had the problem with a rusted on wheel as well. I used a 4" x4" and a bottle jack between the wheels. Just cut the wood to the right length, remove the lug nuts from the stuck wheel and let the jack do the work. Cheap and effective and no swinging a hammer!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The camper Shell is super cool love them old camper shells they always look good 2:10 @Dylan McCool

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Wow the camper is the exact same color as the truck that is cool 50:40 @Dylan McCool

[@goptools]

Pretty sweet old truck! I had a friend many years ago who always said, "you can't kill a slant 6 engine". This old truck tends to prove that out. The three on the tree is just a bonus. You can get that working much smoother if you get the bushings in the linkage either lubed up or replaced. I would fix that door first though!

[@fatherdmj]

Spent a year of my life living near Arnold AFB. Wonderful people, much like you, Dylan. Thanks for the video!

[@JoE_Songs]

1:04:05 long time fan here. your videos get more entertaining every time. love the general vibe with your father and Brier and the editing... music choices. makes a whole, cool package. kudos. Godbless.

[@richardbates2367]

Long barrel air hammer you'll be glad you have it,, especially if you are doing suspension work and in my experience dvapc, and Ingersoll and rand is definitely what I would use and the high speed air drill will probably come in handy at times too,, and the farm and ran ir air compressor is a nice setup!!

[@robr2529]

Dylan! Safety goggles at the minimum 😂😅 had me doing the safety squints for you

[@bradhampton6457]

Those old Slant 6 engines never cease to amaze me. Just a little fiddling with it and it fires right up. Gotta love em.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Love northern tool wish there was a Brick and morter Store on the west coast but there isn't 28:00 @Dylan McCool

[@randallsmerna384]

I don't consider pressure washing the engine bay to ever be a waste of time because I don't want to get unnecessarily dirty or greasy or have to dig around in mouse poop and spiders. I also like to be able to see what I'm doing - but hey, to each his own. 🤷‍♂️👍

Hello Dylan and Briar! Love the video of you learning to drive a column shifter. I learned @9or10yrs. Old. A field is always a good place to start. Your power! For steering and If there's Xtra horsepower, you still have to stop. A 1/3mile ahead of time

The Chrysler Cordoba Wheels Look awesome on this Dodge D100 Pickem Up Truck 31:28 @Dylan McCool

[@andrewkiwi1]

Two methods to get the rim off the hub. a 10 ton body jack kit that a panelbeater would use. Jack between the leaf spring mount on the other side to a block of wood on the inside edge of the rim. Use the 2 long extensions in the kit. Then pump er up! Or get the torch and warm up the rim. It cant stay stuck to the hub if its liquid. !LOL IR have been making quality tools and compressors for over a hundred years. They last. Good to see it running like new nearly.

[@therealghosthouse]

Reminds of the stuff I drove when I was a teenager. Even the door opening especially during turns lol. We didn’t have power steering so really had to get on the wheel to reach out and close the door. Passenger side was a blast when it would open. Seen some farmers used old hog panel pins and hardware to keep them doors closed when driving. Thanks for showing this. Don’t change the truck it’s a legend. I would daily it. The ladies would love it.

[@ronaldvanhorn9558]

Great running truck, Dylan! That would make a cool truck to drive daily and fix up as needed just as it is!

Love the video. I can't hear all the noises your hearing but i had a 79 power wagon long ago and it was making a noise, so i replaced the throw out bearing and still had the noise, turns out the trans was just low on fluid. Lessons learned . Keep up the great videos

[@bertgrau3934]

I remember back in the late 70's, I worked for the Arkansas highway department, they bought I think 25 Dodge D100 for use , they had the 225, 3 speed on the column. Cheap trucks, pretty good and decent fuel mileage.

This truck cleaned up way better than I thought it would. That’ll be a great truck! I’m also jealous you have a Cordoba! At least I think you said that’s what you took the wheels and tires off of. I’d love to find a 78 Cordoba. My dad had one when I was little.

[@nathanmccree2217]

Gotta love those old dodge truck's

[@tnpis4me]

Love what you do!!! So glad I found this channel! I've been doing the same thing most of my life so it really hits home! I'm a ford guy myself but have a Mopar guy as my best friend so I have an appreciation for both! Old cars and trucks are getting hard to find around here. Last 10 years the scrap prices have wiped us out! Thanks for all you do!!🙂

[@kevinwright1551]

Vary awesome job on getting the old dodge running again. Keep up the great work you guys.

[@richardrawson]

I miss the 3 on the tree! I learned to drive manual on one with our 1977 Plymouth Voyager van. The best part would be when you stop at an intersection and then try to start again and the shifter linkage would get stuck because of worn bushings and you’d have to go under the hood and pull on the linkage to pop it free again while cars behind you start honking and getting impatient. That was living.

[@adambriscoe02]

Dylan, I appreciate the work you do. You do good work, very knowledgeable, very positive attitude and very clean cut. Stop being stupid. If you're going to use the death wheel, wear your glasses and hearing protection. You have no reason whatsoever to not use them. You're a role model, and have a lot of years left to have sight in both eyes and enjoy sleep without tinnitus. Eyes don't grow back and that ringing noise does not go away.

[@randallsmerna384]

Dylan, one of the best things about your videos is the personalized music. This intro music stood out immediately to me. I'm SO tired of the generic KZbin music accompaniment. It can't be that hard to secure some music rights for videos - I don't know why more people don't do it because it makes them so much more interesting and fun.

[@paulodisano502]

Great job men in getting that beautiful old American made truck back out on the road again. A friend and I rebuilt a slant six out of a 1967 Plymouth back in 1978 in high school shop mechanics. Good old KLCVI, Kirkland Lake, On. Canada.👍🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@cmdr_stretchedguy]

I remember early-mid 90s, best friend had a 75 D100 with 360, we had so much fun with it. Started as full time 4WD, but they swapped 3/4 ton front axle with disc/rotors (came with front drums) and Warner hubs to unlock the front.

Also change engine oil plus oil filter , Balis Restior too and rebuilt carb to plus PCV Valve on Valve cover air filter and engine belts also rad coolant to ! Plus power steering fluid too and differential fluid too ! You have fix drivers door also lights any electrical fix too and think truck last long time!

One of two of the most toughest motors ever made 225 slant six and the 318 V8 I had the same model truck and same color when I got it had just a body put a 3:40 with a cam in it automatic transmission with a Hurst shifter it would move on down the road wish I still had it Miss that truck

[@mongo5888]

What an awesome old truck. I'll be honest and say that while I love a hopped up small block as much as the next guy, I love seeing old inline sixes fixed up and hot rodded even more because they get zero love usually. I'll never understand why honestly, because the old sixes are tough, cool, respond well to mods, and just drip cool and uniqueness when you see one in a sea of V8's. Great video man, love what you do. 🤘🇺🇸

I’ve got a 1986 dodge d100 with a 225 slant six. I sent Dylan pictures of it awhile back when I was building the slant six they are bulletproof. Currently building a 318 for the truck now. The reason the slant six is so reliable is because it doesn’t make a lot of power. But boy are they fun

The Leaning Tower of Power. Not powerfl, not flashy, but they'll run forever. It doesnt have enough power to hurt itself even if you try to abuse it. I love the '72-'93 Dodge trucks. What a sweet little rig!

[@79tazman]

I was not surprised to see that slant fire up right away because I have messed with a bunch of them to know that they just want to run they may not be a big powerhouse but they will run no matter what condition it is outside or how long it's sat they all just fire up. I had them run with broken rods and a big window in the block and it would fire up and run like nothing was even wrong with it. They are tough reliable engines
