Dragging Truck Treasure Out Of The Bush!

In this episode, we'll drag some 80-Year Old American Trucks out of the bush. Mark and KK from Emmert International show up to level up the Roadhouse Garage. They'll put it up on cribbing until we can get the stem walls built. I'll use my Kuboata Tractor to chomp away at the brush and clear a spot for our house to be placed.

Rick, I think your tractor is part Beaver! Man, it cleared a lot of brush! That was a lot of work, even using the tractor. I think a lot of people forget that you're a "One Man Show". That's going to be one heck of a bonfire!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You got that right! I was feeling sorry for putting Younkin through that...but that's what he does. Wait until you see what's next on his list. Thanks for the visit Buddy.

[@brianrydzeski6108]

So wonderful. I'm happy to see this!!! Keep on, Keeping On, Brother.

Very true.....Thanks for another visit my Friend.

[@andyrichey1192]

And I’ll be here watching for it as it grows in to something spectacular, yeah sounds good to me👍👍😎 why is always appreciate the video. It’s always a pleasure watching what’s going on at the ranch. Love it dude well until next time peace and chicken grease 😁😁👋👋😎

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Peace-N-Grease Andy! Your constant encouragement has always been appreciated and helpful.

[@jayb.5017]

I had to go look up Ben Bostick's "It Ain't Cheap Being Poor" Darn good tune! Thanks for introducing me to it. The place is looking great, sir!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I like that song too. Jamie walked by while I was editing and said "Oh my God, that song is SO corny". I said "I know, I love it".

[@haroldbevins393]

Coming together there Rick. Best wishes to you and Jamie on the house move.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you Harold and thanks for another visit.

Looking good rick wow ten years of over groth poor old barnwood

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yeah, Last time he moved, Homer and Tug Tag-Teamed him out of a pasture in the middle of the night.

[@jamesjolly7406]

Super💯video

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you for the encouragement. It does help.

[@barrygiddings7109]

Lookin good brother, can't wait to see the house in place. as far as the (plum?) tree go's just trim it to shape and leave it. After a few years of being out of the bush it SHOULD fill out nicely. It will take time but will look good in the end. Huggs to the better half and scratches to Anna. PEACE AND LOVE FROM MINNESOTA......BARRY✌

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks for the tips Barry! Peace and Love back at ya from The Classic Truck Ranch.

[@jonrusso4720]

[@macgvrs]

Definitely getting exciting. But it sure is a lot of work. The end is in site though, kind of. Looking forward to the next video.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

[@leebongirno9670]

Good video lots of progress. I’m missing the numbers on the episodes. Stay safe

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'll start putting them back on the Thumbnails Lee. I figured the number is getting so high that I might be making longtime Viewers feel old.. haha. Seriously though, the episode number is always in the description. Thanks for another visit.

[@brianrydzeski6108]

For the 'BONFIRE', if you only had a fire truck to put out any sparks that might escape. (wink)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

They all require a little time and money invested into them right now Brian.......I know,...Priorities, Right?

nice job looking good

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks John👍

[@kc0lif]

things are moving along.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes they are...Thanks for being patient my Friend. I know you are one of the people who have been watching for a long time.

[@jwarehouse1]

Great job on making a huge overgrown mess...into a little brush pile... Place is really taking shape. And another great job by that Kubota L2501 tractor. It sure would be nice if Kubota USA would ackowledge you for yet another 40+ minute video of free advertisement of their fine product. Can't be a better spokesperson on YT....

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks 👍I'm expecting the call from Kubota USA any day now......If I don't get the call it certainly won't be because we didn't try!

[@billyhill101]

Hang in there Rick you can do it

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'm starting to think so too Billy! Thanks Buddy.

[@jimsterling4568]

This is one of the best video you have done for a while . You done a lot of work , enjoyed watching , looking forward to the next !!!!!!!! I'm excited for you.!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thank you very much Jim. We are enjoying making the videos much more as things start to finally come together.

[@henryg683]

I’m thinking of that about the trees from the Mcfly footage and seeing how tuff it was for them to get the roadhouse into place!!??? And also was thinking about golden pond causing a problem and great full it didn’t!!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I've already dealt with Golden Pond. "Film@11!" Henry.

[@keithbrumm5401]

Looking great Rick. I'm happy for both of you. Can't wait to see the awesome builds that come out of your shop.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Me neither. I am looking forward to that more and more as we get closer. Thanks Keith.

[@tomrausch7014]

Been keeping an eye on the Wetter Report…. AND praying for Jamie’s healing.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

The Wetter Person is not delivering good news these days. Property is soggy again. Messing with my momentum.

[@terrydebord5105]

It's starting to come together nicely Rick, your perseverance and visions have made your dress closer to reality. McFly is acting like a spoiled child and keeping you on your toes😂😂 You keep me inspired on the rebuilding of the house from the fires last year. You keep Jamie happy brother, peace be with you always 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@terrydebord5105]

Dream's, not dress, lol

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You have to start somewhere. It has been a very long road and a lot of work, but now what I wake up to each day makes it all worth it. Its getting very exciting for Jamie and I. Thanks for stopping by again.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I figured that was what you meant.

[@johnwilliams4833]

Looks better all cleaned up. Need to put it all down in the first clearing that you made for the house.

[@YenaS-l7g]

Mcfly is in the grass behind the blue 💙 truck after falling through the dead trees 🌳 😢

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes. That's how I found him.That 92 Blazer is the only thing out here that shade of blue.

[@Sherlock067]

You make tough jobs look so easy Rick! You and that tractor are pure workhorses! Maybe I missed an episode , but I thought the house was to be closer to the river? Great to see everything working out for you both! If I wasn’t so far away I’d buy one of your trucks!

[@stevenaugustin6784]

Their county codes would not allow the house that close to the river, so he had to move it further away. He found out AFTER the county had first okayed it and he had done all the work of clearing the first location. Bureaucracy at it's finest!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Steven👍You nailed it. Thanks to you both for watching.

[@cl18od6]

Looking good, coming along great. To bad you couldn't get a smaller excavator. Would be a great help removing stumps, roots of the bushes etc. With a thumb on it you could do wonders. Love and Peace. Blessed Be. Doug.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I agree Doug, but the current budget only goes so far. Jamie and I have been making baby steps for ten years, but we're getting there and grateful for what we DO have. Thank you for watching.

[@jamesjolly7406]

Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Hello back from Molalla, Oregon USA.

[@charlesyoung7436]

Rick, I like the way you thought out the placement of your garage doors. You won't have to walk very far between the buildings in bad weather. Also, that car hauler has great potential for someone who doesn't want to trailer a vehicle. If you put it up for sale, just power wash it first!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Washing that thing is on my short list. Right now it it very useful for blocking views. Thanks for the visit my Friend.

[@lukemccomis9155]

Rick it's looking good I can't wait to see the house on the property keep up the good work brother

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'll do that Luke. Thank you my Friend.

Looking good rock. Have you ever tried, or thought of trying to use your back how to move the cars and trucks? Maybe hook them up and use the how to get a bit of lift and better control?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I'd rather just fix Homer....soon.

[@johnvaars4593]

So awesome to see all the progress 💪. I pray you & Jamie are healthy & happy. Don't over do it too much 😉❤️.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Go for it Gerald!

[@shartne]

Better.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks for the visit!

[@henryg683]

Poor Mcfly!!! I’m wondering if the tree next to the shop and the other one closer to the home site will have to be removed to give those guys moving the house extra room to get the house in place!!??? I’m for keeping the trees but in the name of progress it might have to happen???? Liking the progress made and can’t wait to see the house coming onto the property!!! P out see you in the next one!!!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Mark and I have walked the route the house will take once it lands on the Ranch several times. I've always let him know I will remove anything that will hinder them and he assures me the trees are fine. Thanks for stopping by again Henry. Its always appreciated.

[@richardjulien8745]

Hi,Rick ,what is your planning for completing the wall for the big garage with the red aluminium siding, big thank,s for the answer keep the good work.from Richard.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Randy and Patrick are my plan Richard! If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thanks for the visit.

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Wow Rick & Jamie... so much extra work to be done due to the new placement of your new home.. but you are getting it all done. 🙂 Are you still lifting the house up into a 2 storey home in the new spot? Cos you were doing that due to flood levels... by the river/creek. 🙂nz*

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

We will be lifting the house a little, but no, there won't be another level under it. It has been a lot more work, but Jamie and I have seen where there are also advantages to having it where it is. We are super excited and grateful to have this house, and we aren't getting any younger, so eliminating stairs from the equation is something we will probably enjoy later. Thanks for another visit.

The more trucks you drag back to the OK corral the better it looks , nice work ! I would cut the tree down in the roundabout if it were my land , looks out of place .

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It will look more appropriately placed when its all said and done. I've always liked that Cedar tree.Thanks for the visit Glen.

[@DanEBoyd]

Those sweet bucket seats @6:32 would probably fetch $$$$ from someone restoring a car like what they came from.

[@stevenaugustin6784]

I'm a classic auto upholstery guy and that was my first thought too! They look like mid-late 60's GM A-body buckets.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I was told they came out of a 67 or 68 GTO, but who knows for sure. I bought them with a truck as a package deal. They will get listed when I have my shop finished and start going through all the parts I've accumulated.

[@DanEBoyd]

@@ClassicTruckRescue I believe the way you tell a '68 from a '67 is if it has the release button or lever, to fold the seatback forward.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Thanks Dan. I'll look.

[@stevenaugustin6784]

@@DanEBoyd Just an FYI - '67 and '68 A-body buckets both had the side release button. '66's were non-locking. '69-72's had the release button on the back of the seat. I've restored a few hundred of these bucket seats. 45+ years in the classic auto upholstery biz.

[@jamesbaker9383]

Your getting there ! What happened to the bee hives ?

The "Bee Guy" takes them somewhere else for the Winter. "The Coming of the Bees" is a Springtime Tradition at The Classic Truck Ranch.

[@glennmckinney3760]

Need some goats to clean those vines out

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Don't let Jamie hear you say that. She's been wanting goats since we first got the property. I'm kind of waiting to get more animals until I get a bit further along with the building. Each animal requirees a little more of my day.

[@sirroi3310]

Them black berry

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jamie gets stuck in the blackberries sometimes. I'll lose sight of her and then find her standing next to a Blackberry bush with purple fingers, lips and teeth.....and a huge smile.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

You need a friend with a dozer that can just push that mess of bushes trees and weeds all out into the field

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I DO need that Friend. Where is he? Tell him he's late...hah. Thanks for watching.

[@frederickgreenwood5828]

I have never seen anyone cut grave before. That has got to be hard on your blades

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I had the blades all the way up. If you look closely, you can see that I was blowing the cut grass off the gravel.

[@lukerange366]

When are you going to have the rood house coming out there

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

That's not in my hands. There are a lot of planets that have to be aligned before you can close down highways and move two sections of a house 15-Miles from one town to the next. You can be sure that there will be a video of it as soon as it happens. Thanks for watching.

There are 3 of them there. I've been told that Cedar Clusters like that are super strong.

[@BronzeGiant]

I think, when you get to using it, you'll be sorry you didn't also put a drive in door in one end of the big building.

I only have one door that came with the building kit. I do plan on adding other doors later. Right now that is where I need the main entrance.

HELLO RICK HOW'S JAMIE DOING

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

She's doijng much better Charles. She has much-improved feeling in her fingers and hands already. Still resting though. Thank you.

[@nummnuts22]

Little by little it will get done. Some days it seems like you didn't do much but others just fly by. I know your doing with what you got but still think you need a side door for slinky to fit all the way in or even the hauler. Another idea if not, make a pad on the back with a overhang. Working on big trucks out side or on soft ground isnt fun. Also need to get hommer going, be better the dragging stuff around the year when you dont have help. I work with what i got so i know do what you need to do with what you got/have

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

On the door...Yes, I will end up putting a door on the end. But I only have one big door right now and it needs to go on the back side of the building. I'll put one in an end later. An overhang on the front for Slinky is on the menu for the future too, but those things will happen when the time and funds are right. Thanks for stopping by again my Friend.

[@Chillituber]

A Cougar! I had a 68 with a tweed vinal roof.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I had a 70 that was gold with a really wierd vinyl top. Gold with little black things. I painted the top black and put the widest slotted mags I could find on it. Yeehaw...Then I wrapped it around an Oak Tree.

[@minisareus]

You should take that big tree down incase it or might fall on you shop or house or decrease the height at least

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Its a Cedar. They are strong and bugs don't like them.

[@jimmyrogers2731]

What is the car you're pulling at about 19:00 in the video?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

It's a 1970 Mercury Cougar Jimmy.

[@JimmyJimmy-bd3cw]

You need to have your camera closer to where you are working and not so far away so we can't see what you are doing

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I agree. I intentionally set it up at a distance because I knew I was going to be moving fast on the tractor and its easy to forget where you put the camera. But yeah...that was too far.

[@Diamond.1978]

You need a grapple

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes I do.

[@dustyrusty6840]

Why don't you sell or auction off all the vehicles you have if you are not planning of doing any repair or restoration and having them rust and losing value and get over grown by shrubs ? May help in payments of the over priced house you had moved.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

You may not have noticed, but I have been selling a lot of my vehicles. If there is anything you think you'd be a better caretaker for, let me know which one and I'll give you a price. Also, its a bit strange that you would say the house we are having moved is "Overpriced" when you have absolutely no idea what we are paying for it. Jamie and I happen to know for a fact that we were blessed with a very good deal on our house. There is no way we could afford even the materials to build a home like it. Thank you for your opinions and Thanks for watching.

[@stevenaugustin6784]

I really think you should watch Rick's house-moving videos right from the beginning before making comments like "not doing any repair" on his trucks, and "overpriced house".

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

@stevenaugustin6784 I get comments like this from people who only watch a couple videos and haven't seen all of the trucks I've built or gotten running again and sent down the road. The comment about our house being overpriced was odd though, we got a really great deal on it from a really good guy who has always treated Jamie and I like Family.
