Silverton Car and Truck Show 2015 - Part 1 of 4

Each year, the Notorious Blair Street Association of Silverton Colorado, hosts the Antique Truck and Car Show. This was my first visit and I was lucky to be invited to go along with a unique bunch of characters from the Grand River Chapter of the ATHS, in order to record the event on video. After 4 days of video capture, I had so much material, that I have broken the event up into chapters to keep it from being excessively long.
Chapter 1 - Grand Junction arrival, museum tour and pre-trip
Chapter 2 - Rendezvous with convoy and drive to Silverton
Chapter 3 - The Notorious Blair Street sponsored Silverton Truck and Car Show and pancake breakfast with John Miles
Chapter 4 - Return Trip to Grand Junction

Best collection of neat old junk I've ever seen. I want to live right in the middle of it.

[@brucearnold6259]

Lots of interesting iron

[@eldorado62]

Wow, this is an excellent video! Looking at these old trucks and the old machinery while listening to that background music, one's imagination runs away with them. I could imagine what many of these grand old trucks looked like in their hey-day. You wonder what the people were like operated them, how many hands had been on those steering wheels......and the stories those trucks could tell.....if only they could talk!

[@skagited9617]

An amazing assortment of 'days gone be', but a fittingly awesome and eerie presentation... respect for the 'fallen'!

[@donellmuniz590]

The quiet, haunting music in the background is perfect, really enhances that feeling of loss, of isolation, of time standing still. Like the junkyard scene in "Duel".

[@ofbyforpeople1384]

I don't remember the junkyard scene, but it's funny you mention "Duel" because that's what I was thinking too. The drive to the boneyard from the trucker's point of view was like being in "Duel" only from the truck driver's position (ha ha) !😁

[@SPman8573]

Some MASTER pieces of metal wait to be restored !Pure POWER ! wish I was here to see all these awesome trucks ! Excellent movie ! Thank you very much for sharing it .

[@greenfuzz13]

Awesome collection of some really rare trucks and heavy equipment. I appreciate that you put this together.

[@goldnugget8323]

Wow, talk about a trip back in time, these old gals helped build this country!!

[@captainmorgan1107]

I'd love to walk around and take photos in that boneyard for a day, he's got at least one of everything! Excellent video, looking forward to part 2!

[@williamdavidson9009]

Thanks for the tour of the "treasure yard". I am always amazed that out west you can leave stuff like that and it doesn't rust. Around here (northeast US) vehicles rust away even if they aren't driven in on the road in the salt.

[@haraldpettersen3649]

There are not many such beautiful truck convoys anymore, rather none. My wife said my ayes was shining when i looked at it 🧐

[@domcummins4148]

Love the trucks and the music👍

[@the.porter.productions]

I just simply enjoyed it all!😳 Would love to get my hands on some of those old trucks at the mine. Good truck action...looking forward to seeing the next episode!

[@hart64ghs]

Great vid, I live in Montrose, didn't know about the show in Silverton. Waiting for part 2.

[@Malakie]

I would love to own just a couple of those old trucks just to restore them. I am 53 an retired now from the Navy due to injuries. Having a hobby of restoring something that old would be something I would love the chance at.

[@johnyounker8601]

WOW, what a great video. Never seen anything like it. Total production is top notch; can't wait to see the others. Thanks for posting.

[@zabeemohamadi5547]

Hello my dear colleague, I'm a truck driver from Iran, I enjoyed your video ,it was very nostalgic

[@walkerforsyth6221]

Seen Mr. Osborne's KW Video a while back, and now this, just wow. Subscribed.

[@douglasmeek9774]

Amazing collection!!

[@bwilliams463]

Not sure about the ominous music, but this is an equipment spotter's PARADISE. I could spend a week, wandering out there.

[@juanignacioenrriquez139]

Q que

[@leeshaver7825]

first truck I drove was a 62 Autocar dump truck twin stick/with a 262 Cummins

[@KPearce57]

The first truck I drove was a 71Autocar with a mighty 350 come along with a 5&4

[@Jdigger4130]

Looks like A great trip. I saw those Osbourne trucks in Yakima n him n his brother have some great stuff! Thanks for posting. Im too lazy to put stuff up plus iPhone vids are not anything to write home about. Loved Silverton when I drove through. Wish the ATHS guys were there

[@joedomingos6919]

big fan of all aths trucks

[@AggregateDood]

Between the editing and uploading of the video, I noticed that the bone yard scene got all framey looking, like your watching it with a flickering neon light fixture on it. It seems to be due to the image stabilization. I'd have to film that scene all over, to make it right. So, sorry about that, better equipment on the way...

[@edwardglamuzina3421]

This place is my Disneyland, my Magic Mountain.

[@sikorik9964]

Loved the vid thanks for posting. All that old equipment gave me chills for some reason, I guess reminds me of my Dad. I got a chuckle though, I've now seen everything, trailer queen semi's. Hey what the hell those old gals have earned it.

[@dcw1540]

What a place. Thanks

[@jamesrajnka6091]

wow! great old equiptment! im sure i need to see more vids on this yard! such a great vintage collection! possibly the only one in the world!? just very sad to see pieces & parts mlssing. alot of past time Gold!! more docs and a slower vid on this great equiptment!!!

[@mollybird1184]

Killdozer and Duel all rolled up into one.

[@stanleybaker8707]

Back in the day when truckers were truckers 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@DannyWalker1949]

Dang, These 0l' Trucks shore bring back memories to this 83 year old Ex Truck Driver...I remember some of those 0ld Truck's when they came out of the factory When "NEW"

[@dustys1banjo]

Looking at those old trucks that I started out with, my shoulder muscles tensed up and I could feel my left leg swelling up from those great big clutch springs and no power steering.

[@donellmuniz590]

Back when only MEN drove trucks, because only men COULD drive trucks. Same with NASCAR, lol.

[@konnbudennogo2508]

Вот это прикол,прямо музей!!! Где еще найти столько старой техники!!!

[@animalmother161]

wow! that junk yard has alot of good condition Goody's!!! in New England all would be in poor condition with trees growing in them

[@greenfuzz13]

Forget the cute editing tricks. Straight cuts between shots work best here.

[@1983359]

I like all of it. Good job Tom.

[@epicmagplays6777]

1983

[@paradiseroad6405]

...7:55...old GMC says Frank C. Klein on the door...I drove for Frank C. Klein back in 1976...

[@donellmuniz590]

Now THAT is cool! My dad drove log trucks for Crown Zellerbach in the 70s. About 4 yrs ago, on those same logging roads, I found a '50s short school bus, an IH, converted to a crew bus, and abandoned in the woods at LEAST 50 years ago. All that was left was the roof, engine, axles, parts of the frame, and debris. I found a piece painted with "Crown Z" between each rusty edge. It's on my patio.

[@donellmuniz590]

13:51 This tanker is PERFECT for a "Duel" tribute truck. And there were needle-nose Pete tractors there too! Dont need an exact duplicate, just capture the essence. With a 12V-71!

[@jasonmyers3847]

I was at that Plymouth show. At the time, I was driving for D. Hill Trucking out of Tracy, CA. Carlton Hill usually has a few classic Peterbilts on display.

[@jasonmyers3847]

2018, actually.

[@howardbenoit7474]

oh my god thank so much for the nice video wow canada

[@michaelbonds5501]

Has realizado un reportaje EXTRAORDINARIO y de felicitarte y también decirte que a mi gusto las mezclas de final a principio de secuencia desmejoran tu estupendo trabajo (si mantuviera ese enlace sin ese efecto especial a mi gusto estaría genial) .. Y Sobre todo gracias por la idea de grabar camiones de desguace ....saludos desde España

[@sparky5860]

It’s like an outside museum..... very cool....

[@rogeralsop3479]

I'd love to go there.

[@joaodorciliobona5163]

que lugar lindo só de ver aqueles carros jogados é de dar dó João Mafra SC Brasil

[@donellmuniz590]

Coolest place I ever saw. I could park an RV right in the middle of that and live happily ever after. But when the old guy (HAS to be) that owns this awesome collection dies, I'd bet anything his family just scraps it all. Which would be a tragedy and a travesty. UPDATE: The owner of this channel said that won't happen!😊👍

[@rogeralsop3479]

My kind of show.

[@arkanissa5333]

All the american trucks are beUtiful I like them .

[@williamcharles9480]

Don't worry about all of the critics, I actually enjoyed the video.

[@camshaftP16]

That was so good I had to watch it again. Hope all that old iron is safe from the scrappers.

[@AggregateDood]

It is, the owner knows what everything is, which ones he can start by bringing out a battery, which ones require a pull start, lol. Everything that you point at and ask, "would you sell that?" he has a reason he has to keep it, like, that was the first D-9 I operated for the county and bought it 35 years later. He's in his late 70's and even if he had 13 million dollars and a 100,000 sq ft shop with 30 employees, he would never be able to restore everything. But, the good news, is that a lot of ATHS folks know him and when that day comes, they will not let it go to the scrappers...

[@christophersmithcountrytim7109]

shut the fuck up dip stick, son what are you driving a pair of roller skates ?

[@howdoyoulikethat5253]

Truck\auto abandoned graveyards, in the wilderness: RESTORE THE VEHICLES THAT ARE RESTORABLE ( I'M VERY PARTIAL TO THE B SERIES MACKS MYSELF ) THEN LET THE CAPITALIST ENTREPRENEURS, RECYCLERS, COME IN TO CLEAN UP THE REST OF THE EYESORE MESS!

[@gymover]

Is this the yard that is off the hiway that goes to Collbran? if so i have seen it from the road bur never stopped to look!

[@cleitondaconceicaobarros6687]

Very good

[@michaelguinn5736]

WOW!!!! That place is unbelievable! Can't help but wonder how long it took to amass that collection, wonder when the 1st truck was pulled in there?, & the last truck pulled in??

[@user-hu5sj6mx3b]

Афигет спасибо за видео

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

We’ve shown two trucks in ATHS shows. I wish we had them in SW Idaho:(

[@samragsdale2127]

Heck no the bone yard part is perfect the flickering adds to the ereey .can't date for the other parts BRAVO

[@AggregateDood]

Thanks... It's hard to walk on all of that uneven ground without the camera bobbing up and down and my version of a steady cam just wasn't enough. I wanted to get that smooth flying effect, like your a ghost hovering through the place, so I slowed it down to 10 percent and added stabilization, thats what caused the flickering. Then I tried putting it back to normal speed and it looked so fast that it looked cartoonish, so I put up with the flickering.

[@TheKwtrucker]

great video and that sure is one classic pete you rode in I do have one question though that place you were at with all that abandoned equipment and trucks does anyone own them and do you know if any can be bought?

[@Dannymatador]

Que belleza de camiones abandonados

[@naemnikn]

many unique exhibits, all this causes a feeling of sadness ...

[@2324jakemiller]

hell yeah

[@highseed69]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 i wish i had that yard of old equipment.

[@sphillips6357]

It's hard to imagine anyone with so much money they can just discard this kind of equipment. Lots there wish I could restore. Nice video - unfortunately after the first few video transitions it became very annoying. About 33% of the video was watery transitioning. I would have liked to have seen a few more seconds of each vehicle and much less water-like transitioning time. Could only watch about half the video because of that. But otherwise the way you handled the camera was great and of course I loved your subject matter!

[@OlayerB]

Couldn't agree more! More focus on the old machines!

[@donellmuniz590]

I agree about the watery transitions and the great subject matter. But who is "discarding" these relics? Do they not still exist for preservation's sake? They're still here for us to enjoy and imagine. "Discarding" would have meant selling them as scrap metal, for $40 a ton, 40 years ago, as most of them went. I applaud this collector for saving the history of his company, industry, and region. No need to restore, in my book. I love em for what they are. Though I might single out one or two for a "sympathetic rebirth"; keeping all the history, charm, and patina intact, but making it run again. Just make it alive, not young.

[@ForrestBaum]

So cool,where is it again?

[@Neto-pu5kx]

Only Classics !🤝

[@mickeythompson9474]

If only this equipment could talk , about the men that made it , and made a living with it .

[@miketreesh1552]

Same here old peterbuilt like to have wish i knew where this was at

[@carlsapartments8931]

couldnt watch this because of the really annoying video effects, absolutely no need for that.

[@chance6298]

Couldn't agree more, Love all the trucks n equipment...but that was REAL hard on my eyes..stopped watching...

[@MrRelik36]

You would have had a better show if you had done less editing, we want to see the old vehicles that we cut our teeth on. If you thought you should have made it shorter, you could have made more shows.

[@VitoVeccia]

I would love to get those machines drivable, and just have fun with them.

[@Rainmanxxl1967]

Truck ghost town : They aren´t neglected as it seems they belong to an avid collector who died some years ago , never beeing able to fix them all !

[@panhead55]

Are you sure you didn't stop in Phoenix? The beginning shot looks like Sky Harbor Airport observation tower.

[@markbrennan1756]

Some old 1960's tractor has rare GMC 702ci V-12. A rusty 702 engine fetch for over $5k.

[@donellmuniz590]

Some GMCs had a 501ci inline 6, and I've heard there was even a 707 I-6, in addition to the 702 V12. And they had a 478ci gas V6, and a 637 V8 in both gas AND diesel! GMC rocked!

[@1965Gindy]

This video reminds me of duel its so dramatic.

[@BonheurEsperer]

I want to know the name of the music you used in the boneyard scene.

[@tn65s]

The real question is WILL IT START? Give me some batterys and some cosby sauce.

[@donellmuniz590]

That green 59 Ford 4x4 flatbed is a fixer!

[@markbauman1411]

Love the Pete at 7:07

[@charlesharris782]

do you know if the folks who own the equipment graveyard would be interested in selling any of machines. The only reason i am asking is because i love to restore the old machines so far i have gotten 3 B63 model Mack's and a cable shovel.

[@bradroberts7622]

Looks like the aftermath of "Maximum Overdrive."

[@glennbonnell4241]

LSD TRIP MUSIC ALSO

[@DESPRADO111]

Damn... I'm 58 and started driving truck for a living when I was 18. I learned to drive in these old trucks:~) The men I learned to drive not only trucks, but heavy equipment from, learned to drive from in the 30's and 40's... So, those are the ethics I learned and That's how I learned to drive truck, and in a lot of ways, to be a Man from those Men... Society sure has slid a LONG way down that hill... There are still allot of Great drivers out there. But Trucking has Sure changed... And, Not for the better! Drivers used to Stop to help one another, instead of the current drivers who Aim for you and it doesn't even cross their minds to Move Over a little for another driver who is broken down... for the most part, it seems as if common curtesy has gotten lost in the old graveyards along with this old equipment shown in this video... Man, I wish I could find an old Needle Nose tractor to restore...:~)

[@wayneprintup5409]

DESPRADO111 no u just got old it and look at everything negative jus like the guys u learned from said same thing and I will 1 day to so your negativity ain’t goin help no1 your part of the problem to for the younger generations try and find something positive about the youth times change and so should u

[@landongill4504]

por truck worked there butts of back in the day know look at them abandoned

[@donellmuniz590]

Poor? They still exist, relatively intact. Better than cut up for scrap, no? They could've been made into Datsuns 50 years ago!

Hey Tom, don't leave us in the Lurch. Tell us how this feller acquired so many trucks. Is he fixing any of them up? Any of the old ones for sale. Also, part #3 When can we expect to see the Show?

[@lasalleman]

A lot of nice old iron around 9:10.

[@billfitzpatrick6910]

I could have done without the wavy segues from one scene to another.

[@tracyohagan5561]

Exactly. I had to quit watching it.
