The vehicles y’all consider rough are pretty much pristine compared to what we get in the rust belt. Makes a guy a bit envious you sure live in some gorgeous country.

[@melsjunk2645]

I too live in the land of ice and salt and you're right about that! Mind you it seems the newer the vehicle the faster it rusts, much better steel in older vehicles. No body will be restoring a car from the 2000's after it sits for 20+ years 😂

Huge shout out to the guy driving the Telehandler. Impressive driving skills. Nice find on both these trucks...🤓

Hope you had a Merry Christmas. Happy approaching soon: New Year.

[@Eric.schmidt]

Rollback experience talking here. Next time carry a bottle of dishwashing liquid and water in a pray bottle. Easier clean up for sliding those locked up wheels on the deck. And when you have the back end jacked up like that put the tow vehicle in neutral and winch the tow vehicle under your load.

Dawn dishwashing liquid does a great job making a slick surface and is as easy as a water hose to clean up, also you can take a good size bar and a 3 lb hammer and hit the brake drums to free them up, just saying, I used to free semi tractors up by hitting the drums to free them

[@ramjam720]

Chad, you and Stacie are son hoarders. You already have five. Boys are hard on vehicles, so it makes perfect sense to hoard "buildable" vehicles. Re-purposing vehicles is a wonderful way to keep your kids attention focused. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🎄

Thanks for sharing Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 😀👍🎄

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

There was a JCB telehandler there that they moved early in the video. That would have lifted the truck easily. I've used sheet metal to load vehicles. Use two layers with a little grease between then and they slide easily.

[@MadWiking]

Thanks for sharing this rescue!! That's a 1937 1 1/2 ton truck. I've had one just like it here in Norway. Sadly it went up in flames many moons ago....

[@kjjeep2718]

If you had dropped this video a few weeks ago Harbor Freight would have sold out every off-road jack they had. It would be perfect on the farm! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@richardmattson2445]

I think harbor freight gave you guys a good jack. I bought one and have bled it several times and it will not stay up long enough to move a vehicle 2 feet let alone use as a dolly.

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

Keep it a 37 farm truck. Put a flatbed on it and get it running original. Only upgrades would be vintage looking 12 volt alternator, dual master cylinder and seat belts. Modern safety glass too. The old stuff used when it was parked would give you a glass necklace back in the day. Your head would go through the glass and then the early plastic they used in the replacement glass would shrink back to its original shape which wasn't very pretty. There's something special about the sounds of those old trucks with their gear whine perhaps due to those early morning deliveries they made being the wake-up call we had to get ready for school as they drove by delivering milk, eggs, butter, cheese and other farm goods. You run out to check what they left in the box to see if the farmers wife had included something special for the kids. We didn't have supermarkets yet unless you drove into the city so those old trucks with their tire chains and mud hooks were our lifelines in the dead of winter. We only lived 2 miles from the school so we had to suit up, put on our boots and walk over two hills to get there even when it was snowing in the dead of winter so we had to get up early to be at the school on time. Best!

[@stephenpoe2037]

Two wonderful rescues ! Merry Christmas and thankd for taking us along for the ride !

[@joepeace565]

Chad, I watch your videos and have seen you do great work on wiring harnesses. They look great, are marked well and ensure a long future for the vehicle. Watching you remove the old truck from the trees shows your patience and ability to develop the best plan on the fly. Your family seems totally involved in the builds and take care to make, install each part for the best fit and function Keep up the great videos Joe

I loved doing that kind of stuff with my three sons. There was an auction down in Florence Colorado last summer and I told my boys I’d like to go to one more auction before I was too old. Not only did my three sons go 5 of my grandsons. and one great grandson went. We spent the whole day. We ended up buying a corvair and a bunch of Corvair parts that none of us are ever going to use. But what a day.

[@wamrfixit2]

Chad its great to see you with your boys gaining that success that a lot of fathers dont have. Its an honor to watch your channel. MERRY CHRISTMAS from my family to yours!!!

[@auzmo]

Getting them back on the road or their pieces to people that can use them is the best thing. Sometimes they have to wait a bit to be completed or find a use for, but you are doing them justice. Most people dont have the expertise, parts, pieces or time to get these back on the road.

[@whammond511]

Restore it to as close to original as possible. Keep it with that 1937 vibe including the engine & drivetrain if possible. To RatRod it up makes it just another old rodded truck. But to try and bring it back to road worthiness as it was when parked would be a great statement. You could use it in parades to advertise Chad’s Fab!! Hope you can somehow use the chassis, motor, drivetrain and all the body parts to keep it as original as possible.

[@chadsfab]

Not a bad idea, I think the engine will run again.

[@Stretch1931]

For the 36/37 chevy that was in the farm field since the 50's, I have a few ideas: A resto-mod daily driver with a modest small block chevy to run errands, and nothing heavy duty. Second option: A fully toughed up truck with a turbo-diesel, dual side tanks, heavy axels, and a dually. And last option, chop and drop, and put a blown hemi in it, with fat tires on the back.

My opinion on that '37: Once you wash it off and take it apart, try getting everything straight, but don't put any paint on it; leave the natural patina on it restore everything else but leave the outside body as is (no paint). Great finds. Happy new year to you all and many blessings in 2024!!!

[@josephmarten5398]

I think that 30's truck would make a wonderful flatbed. Make it into something that you can put to work - basically an all-purpose hauler that could even be used to go pick up other old trucks. Keep the drivetrain simple, probably even leave it 2-wheel drive. Either a diesel or gasser drivetrain would be fine, just whatever you run across to make it into a road-worthy restomod work truck.

[@petereriksson4405]

Good work with the loading! You should keep some plastic skids. On the rear it would probably work with a cut up plastic barrel underneath the tires. Slides a lot easier on hard surfaces

[@thatdave86]

Hey Chad . For the future vehicle collections,may i suggest that you have two of those Trolley Jacks and sone timber posts so that you can jack the vehicle up to clear the trailer height and back up and winch at rhe same time ,reposition the jacks when your halfway there . Secondly how about making some sturdy wheel dollys with those larger wheels like on the jack ? Thirdly, liquid soap is probably a better choice for making wheels slip or obtain some of them wedges that tow truck operators use , especially dor tilt deck retrievals You got it done eventually 😊

[@gregoryblair9810]

Yes, before self propelled harvesters it took two people; one drove the tractor which aimed the rig and provided pto power, and another person to operate the header and thrasher part. And he hsd to keep an eye on the hopper to see when it got full.

Merry Christmas, to all of the Carter Clan, I hope its a blessed season! Nice saves, those trucks will be able to continue their stories... As to the red on that '37, what I've found on lots of projects are what my dad had me prime stuff for weather (or underground, fuel tanks, lol!), red lead paint. It was used as a primer for lots of tractors & implements, even found it on big trucks down to yard furniture. Don't think you could even find it after about the mid 70's, except in farm barns, & our garage (dad was a builder, graduated in '29!)... Great entertainment, & family outings! Thanx !

[@chadsfab]

I hadn't considered that could be red lead paint, I will need to be careful around that stuff. Thanks for the kind words.

​You should be able to get test kits at most hardware & lumber yards. Best way to deal with it, is just paint over it, lol. But it certianly protects "old iron" ! Blessed New Year. Thanx !
