I had the pleasure of getting an early look at the "Soddy Daisy Collection", which consists of over 100 cars and trucks that are in desperate need of a new home. It's incredible to see all these vehicles packed in together right next to each other! I also managed to snag one as well; which one do you think I got?

Love the crew cabs, but in my opinion the 61 250 4x4 is a true gem!!!

[@michaelhylanddpt]

I love how he pronounces numbers: “That’s a sigsty-eight F-one fivdy. Haha. I’m not hating he is a really cool guy and I’m so happy for him buying this who lot of absolutely amazing Ford trucks and other vehicles. Thanks Dylan for the great video and for taking us along with you and your friend

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

What the story on the '73 Ford ranchero ? You'res or not . I'm hard of hearing ( thanks to army) didn't get the property location.

[@michaelhylanddpt]

@@georgeweisbrod1876 I think you should post this again on the main comment thread. You replied to my comment and others may not see it

[@rm25088]

this comment made me chuckle

[@Buddy969]

I have driven by that place several times. It is a very cool place. Thanks for giving all of us a tour!

[@jmd1743]

Looks great. I hope that the owner has plans on selling them when he gets too old unlike the bitter hoarders who let their cars rot into the ground.

[@williamhelms9942]

No chance, he has P A R T S !

[@jmd1743]

@@williamhelms9942 He'll run out of life span before he runs out of parts. Those trucks will be sent to china in the form of scrap.

[@racer193wr]

The ford era guy bought most of them. And I do beleive thats what he said was he was going to do the same as the old owner..

[@jmd1743]

The guy will require a whole army of restoration crews. He doesn't have a million + dollars.

[@SadPuppySoup]

Two things 1. that's a very cool collection and 2. because of the prices people are asking for them is why people like me will never be able to afford a 70's era rust bucket to fix up and drive.

[@R.Sole88109]

Same with old Land Rovers, tractors, trucks, tanks, pretty much anything with out the save the world crap on it.

[@hendo337]

That's what really makes me angry, opportunist douches like that who don't even know enough about Ford trucks to mention the real special features of a Super Camper Special which are the long wheel base and wider factory rear wheels for added stability without needing duals while hauling a slide in camper, are jacking up the prices to insane levels and being predatory with what amounts to a bunch of worn out dented, rusty crap. I hope the economy collapses while he is in debt over his eyebrows and he has to eat it for being that way and screwing over normal dudes who need trucks like that to actually use.

[@joem5332]

As a kid I remember seeing all these trucks on the rode brand new driving. It’s crazy seeing them again now looking the way they are

[@ralphboyce3542]

Wow!! Dylan you did the best coverage we all been waiting for and took your time with Solamon to explain all this amazing history of all this collection .. thanks for your time and pictures. 👍

[@ProjectFairmont]

Really cool to see the appreciation of 70s rigs. What was once admonished is now coveted, and rightly so! Sweet Mustang II too.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I'm a Ford guy and love the era of trucks he has. Just the same, I can appreciate all the cool trucks no matter the make. I would have been disappointed if you didn't take at least one home with you. How relevant is this video to me? I owned a 77 Ford long box with a 400 that was loaded, and a 82 Dodge Ram 4X4. I really like both of them.

[@R.Sole88109]

Did I just hear Peg from Zip Ties and Bias Plies stiffy rip through his coveralls at all them old Ferds!😂

[@charlesweddington9562]

Awesome Love them 78 & 79 Fords ! Great find love this video ! Thanks for sharing !!

[@kennethsonier1766]

Great episode Dylan, I love looking at classic trucks especially 4x4s. I had a 74 adventurer so I'm hoping you took home the red and white adventurer 👍☮️🇺🇲

[@MidnightOilsRestoration]

Great video Dylan! Look at the great people God is putting into your path! I too am a mopar guy at heart, but those Fords are awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@donmarsh1599]

Awesome video! My Dad retired from Dodge trucks after 39 years. I love the Dodge trucks and the Ford trucks! I would like you to say that you came home with the “NASA” truck, but you probably came home with the red and white one.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Wow! I have a really nice '77 F250 XLT Camper Special 460 truck that I picked up for a song back in '09 and I love that truck. This collection and the story is unbelievable! Thanks for sharing.

[@mikepoint4717]

The black short box that had the slot mag in the bed is my fav . Dylan needs that red and white truck

[@markstewart365]

Loved all the trucks. Big dent side fan looking for a rough but complete 2 wheel drive to go through and drive daily. Keep up the great work guys

[@shanehansen2141]

I hadn't heard of the Sandbox trucks until this video. Those things are super cool!

[@Trenton-om9qs]

As a Ford Guy i would be in heaven. Old Dentside Ford's are my favorite trucks especially the 78s and 79s. I have even more of a soft spot for these because my dad owns a 79 F150 that he races from time to time and that thing is like a time capsule inside and out and he has a 79 F350 that we put to work. he also used to have a 78 F250 that he would take to Truck Pulls. I just love all old trucks in general.

[@spoplehughes]

Looking forward to watching you rebuild the tow truck

[@michaelrollins2240]

junk yard digs would be crazy for this

[@HickSquatch]

Oh wow!!! I’m just watching and trying not to drool on myself!! I am a life long Ford guy. Granddad drove a 76 F150 from new until he passed away in 1990; and he was a machinist at GM! My first truck was a black and red 79 F150; I so miss it!! My second was a 79 Bronco. Exwife cost me both of them. Loving the Dodges too!! I dream of a Warlock and Lil Red Express truck!! I’m with y’all on that 4x4 Dodge shortbox with the KCs on the rollbar. Total 80’s truck!!

[@jordanabbott7726]

Definitely gotta but that blue crew cab dodge! Would be a amazing addition to the collection

[@robertmills2058]

I can't choose one but snickers and the sand box edition and the factory graphics option trucks are just super cool,love that 70's style,what a great collection.

[@Bruningable]

That yellow supercab in the shop - fantastic!

[@michaelboswell4318]

My Dad had a Crew Cab Long Bed Ford F350, we would use that in Western SD. You needed more than a city block to turn it around. Love the blue New Yorker.

[@dalegroot2638]

In the mid to late 70's custom paint jobs on vehicles (including vans , trucks ,and motorcycles ) were common from certain dealers. Great time to be a gearhead

[@Westie_NZ]

Really loved the walk-around with you guys. Fascinating. I'm a little surprised you only came away with 1 (for now......).

[@billywalters6060]

When you talked about the dodge fuses in glove box, it reminded me . The US Army dodge ambulance we drove in Germany. We tapped the power at fuse box for a boom box ( set on open glove box cover). Set speakers in overhead storage above the doors.

[@craig1974]

Ever since i seen the movie Tex i have been a fan of the 67-72 Fords. Especially the one that Clint Eastwood drove in Gran Torino.

[@brandonbell3089]

Same for me but with Chevrolet trucks. I was hooked by the 72 Chevrolet truck in dazed and confused along with the 75GMC. The movie the driver etc. just always loved them

[@billdavis1730]

WOW! I grew up with Ford dent sides and bump sides AND a 1973 Dodge Club Cab. My brother and sister and I all learned how to drive on dads 1975 F100 Custom 302 automatic long bed. Before that he had a 1969 F250 Custom bump side 390 4 speed with a flat bed. My Great Aunt bought new the 1973 Dodge D200 Club Cab 360 automatic long bed white over bright blue lower. As a little kid I made many long road trips with her while sitting in the little jump seats. I remember the back floor getting too hot for your feet; apparently no heat shields on the exhaust! I knew exactly where those fuses were, under that giant glove box lid which covered the fuses and the little glove box! I hope you got the red Dodge, and go back for some others! Great video and thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@unknownsoul13]

My favorite....the NASA baby blue crew cab...exactly what I have had in the back of my mind to haul an Overlander Rv.

[@aldoaceves4531]

Those sandbox trucks look amazing, could not have picked better colors for them, i am surprised they did not have many flaresides, great stuff.

[@FreedomRock44]

Sandbox and midas touch is killing me!!!!!!! My Era!!!!!!!!

[@dalebrooks4444]

Awesome video loved getting a look at all the cool old ford's and Dodge's would love to get a hold of one of those 77 Dodge short bed power wagons

[@RutsWorkAdventures]

Dude thank you so much I live 50 mins from soddy daisy tn and I'm definitely going to try and buy 1 or 2 of those club cabs, I want to fix one up an take it on the pipeline once I get the job, thanks again man, great content and your awesome!

[@numbnutsspeedshop]

if i had to pick any truck there, id take either the F26 crew cab hunting truck or the F28 crew cab or probably one of the sandbox trucks. and i think you bought either the red and white dodge at the end or the green short bed in the shop. that collection is absolutely mind blowing and when i started watching it this morning i about spit my coffee right out when i saw some of this crazy stuff

[@darrylcampbell4411]

I love the Sandbox trucks. They are wicked as. Love em all but one of those Sandbox trucks would be my pick.Great vid Guys. Loved it.

[@18wheeler77]

56:46 Reminds me of the movie Overboard. With Russell Wilson and Goldie Hawn.

[@FordEra]

An hour long, your the man. Excited to watch!!

[@mikesr3407]

Subbed to you , thanks for sharing all sick rides ! I would be happy with almost any ride there , but the Rangers 👍 that collector had great taste !

[@TylerDuysen]

yall forgot to show the bullnose

[@cjhill726]

The fridge in the back corner was my favorite. I have a 1960 f250 factory 4x4 so I love those things

[@alanwilson2201]

The truck he called Snickers, was definitely the coolest truck on the property!

[@halforcbarbarian]

That green 4 speed short bed was great!

[@kyleprong395]

I'm not a Ford guy but that monster truck inside the building was my favorite

[@ericneumann6017]

What ever happened to that bullnose pickup of your grandpa’s?

[@ratbitw]

Saw a Dodge Rampage and a Dodge Royal going up for auction on a vlog...Adventures made from Scratch....incredible Treasures. About 30 into the vid.

[@waynelandeck6878]

In 1975 I had a1973 F-350 Super Camper Special,with a 360 4 speed. It had 25000 miles. I've had a lot of Ford since then, but would love to have another!!😄😄😄

[@alanconner8514]

That Red ford with the slots and that NASA truck were two of my favorites but so many cool trucks!!! I wish I could own one someday!!!

[@oliverpetroski4205]

Those like yellow one at 5:58 is my fav. My favorite grill style on these trucks. If I lived in the States I'd be looking for one , we never had them available here in Europe.

[@jonpierce8342]

Pretty sure you scooped up that good frame for the tow truck restoration... My favorite was the light blue dodge flatbed... I subbed to ford era, and I will pop over, and let him know appreciate him letting youbdrag us around the property. Also huge thanks to the previous owner of all these sweet rigs!

[@richardbates2367]

Do you watch Craig 909 and junkyard digs Kevin Brown has several bump,dent and slick side trucks, and the Craig 909 has the Rangoon red and Wimbledon white beat crew cab 68 Ford f250 and drives it

[@jamesthomas7474]

The light blue 71 F100 With the patina was my favorite truck out of all them. Good video!

[@monarchmark1967]

SNICKERS. That's my Fav. Dylan, you must make a score on a Mopar or two.

[@mromatic17]

I really wish I could go there and piece together a really bad ass 1960’s ford truck with 4x4 and 4 speed or 5 speed manual and swap one of those 428 cobra jet engines in it! that would be really awesome! If I owned all that with the shop I’d build my son his very first dream truck too! There is so much to see!

[@scottthompson6885]

That is a wonder land. My dad had a @ late 70's f350 4x4 crew cab long bed 4 speed with low gear and it had 3 gas tanks to feed the 460.

[@caroled5734]

Can’t wait to see which one you got! MamaCard here in Florida.

[@aaronrichards5814]

I liked a lot of them. But the one off proto and the NASA would be my picks. Thanks that was fun guys

[@RichardHinkel-x3g]

Such a cool collection would love to have one of the late 60s regular cab short bed to lower and build a bad small block

[@RODZILLA65]

The 1/2 ton short bed 4x4 looked like a "Fall Guy" addition.

[@DanEBoyd]

That '67 Long Bed, Flareside, High Boy! Everybody swears that Flareside High Boys were never made, because they forget about the long Flareside bed.

[@williamwhitaker8000]

The red Ford pick up with a lubrium slotted wheels as is my favorite

[@FreedomRock44]

THe Cooler Trucks!!!!!!!! Wow this is sweet DYLAN.

[@markc5593]

My auto mech. teacher, Mr. Jones, had a 1979 F-250 reg. cab long bed that he had bought new with q 429. As soon as he got it home he ordered heads, cam and pistons for a 1969 429 and put it all back together. I drove it once when I was a senor in 1986 and loved it.

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk DM👋👍 pleased you still got to tour in hemmings chevelle just gutted you never got yours completed still just pleased you had fun 👌 also this yard full.of vehicles is a world of history too man👍 defo liked nasa truck but I think you picked up that red and white dodge at end eben tho was a user 👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon 👍👋

[@doughamm5590]

I had a 76 ford van that had one of those fancy paint jobs on the hood like on the side of the pickups. I'm not a Ford fan but some of them were pretty cool. U probably picked up the super cab

[@thunderray1987]

My favorite '73-'79 dentside truck would probably be that baby blue/white two tone '73 F-100 seen at 20:02

[@R3TR0R4V3]

I'd get the '79 f100 shortbed with that rad 70's paintjob. Love it! 😎 Guess we'll see which dodge you got because I have no clue, but if I had to guess, it would be the one inside the warehouse. 👍

[@cotynietling2567]

Yall need to have a artist repaint that sandbox edition reatore it itd be priceless

[@stephensaasen8589]

Yes sir, you gotta pick up the Mopar stuff and save it, especially that old light blue 1960's crew cab. That's one to restore original.

[@tomp3981]

Dylan mcCool just spent his life savings on the trucks. 😀🤘👌

[@FreedomRock44]

I will tell you the Prototype 1/2 cab!!!!!!! hands down awesome.

[@Boodaddy1092]

My grandpa had a 1978 ford f150 custom with the orange and cream paint. I saw one there that would be awesome to restore

[@johnblecher3174]

My favorite tracks were all the dodges the Ford trucks were cool also cool also

[@jimgould2829]

Every old Ford truck tells a story don't it🤠 I'll take the Red Ranger near the beginning and the Flare side highboy Bump with the 4 speed oh yeah! Great content!😃

[@PaulyOutdoors]

Welcome to Minnesota Dylan! God Speed brother.

[@dueljet]

I have a 47 f100 that is almost done. The owner has spent $100k on it so far! Now he has lost all interest in it and wants to sell. It was on its way to having a concur level restoration. It still needs to have its driveline completed( all parts are included ). Includes a fully rebuilt /restored flathead, the original three-speed manual, and a brand new C6 with adapter kit. The body is all steel and blocked out in primer and is waiting for final paint. Tons and tons of brand new OEM/ new old stock /reproduction parts are included. I don't know the best platform to sell it on. Any thoughts out there?

[@indybama80]

Cant pick just one lol. But heres a list of the ones i feel in love with... Love the green bump longbed stepside, red 78 crewcab, 2tone black/grey supercab ranger, be cool to have that galaxie, blue 69 crewcab/supercab prototype, 68 f350 crewcab brown/white, definantly the 79 f150 ranger 4x4 orange/brown!, midas 79 with the rollbars, all 3 sandbox trucks, the monster 79 in the shop. N how awesome would it be to have a shop full of parts like that?! Id love to be able to restore old fords like that. I know where theres a yellow 76/77 jacked up on 38s or 44s, just sittin. Need to go check on it

[@scottcarter90]

All those old trucks are cool but the one that really interested me was the of Toyota Land Cruiser. My dad had one of those with that exact color years ago! Good video

[@richardbates2367]

That's a sport custom pkg short bed green bumpside Ford truck sweet!!

[@okknuk]

Sandbox truck #2 -- not a dove painting, that is a snow owl!

[@aaronaikman7141]

Hope you came home with the red and white truck the last one you looked at!

[@mikeconrady3784]

I just love the red short bed with the slots!!!!!! Just curious what he would take for it?????

[@justinwilson6442]

The red and white Ford. I agree that's the best one in a two wheel drive

[@bentheredonethat5541]

He hit the lick. As we say in the south. He's set for life. Hard to set a dollar amount on what he can sell all that stuff for.

[@frankcastle2045]

Gators car had a 429 police interceptor a beast love that car

[@davidrudd9846]

Last Ford truck I owned was a 1972 1/2 ton with a 360 ci engine .The only weak point was the c6 transmission not a fan of the the c6 other than that a great truck the 360 very under appreciated engine.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

Although the C6 sucked up a lot of power and was heavy, they were bullet proof. If yours failed, there was something wrong done to them. My dad killed three. I figured out why after it was too late. Don't fault the transmission.

[@richardbates2367]

Solomon is like me in that my 86 chevy k20 custom deluxe long bed 3/4 ton well used beat to hell 4x4 farm truck.. it was a midnight blue and frost gloss white deluxe two tone truck but no cab band aluminum trim or white painted roof, anyways the doors were rusty and had big holes in them and ate out where the adhesive molding of the 86 chevy custom deluxe and scottsdale truck had, and the outer bedsides were the same way, the bed was twisted and bent but the frame was not or rusted through the tailgate was bowed but if you held the left bedside in place and slammed the tailgate shut it would stay closed. It was a portable fertilizer sprayer truck that had the neoprene polymer tank in the back with a sprayer pump that plugged in the bed trailer hitch 7 round pin plug,, and the bed floor and almost all of the cab floor was solid and it had ac but it was removed when they changed the factory Rusty doghouse except the factory single headlight core support and the factory hood, and everything else on the truck worked including the factory fasten belts buzzer and the 4 way flashers,both reverse lights came on in reverse and what surprised me was the transmission th 400 straight column gear indicator actually moved when you put the truck in Dr.. I've had nicer trucks and that stuff didn't work or wasn't even present..

[@tingrilledodgetrucks5988]

All them Tin Grilles, didn't even mind watching through all those Ford's.

[@Carl09of09]

Great collection, I dig the Ford's and the Dodge trucks!

[@joshuaherrick7958]

I like the blue big block dodge with the Nasa stickers

[@justbuggin67]

My favorite truck was that beat to heck blue, dented doors Ford crew cab. I’d drive it like I stole it. Also Dylan bought the NASA Sweptline crew cab.

[@AlAllerton]

Some nice stuff in there for sure. If I had to pick a Ford it'd be that one with the factory Dana 60 front, been looking for one forever and never found one. For the Dodge I'd probably want to bring home the Sno-Commander. Trying to find another '74 Sno-Fiter 4x4. Can't wait to see which one you grabbed.

[@tlr-nut7275]

I have a '63 W100 with the factory snow plow option. Plow is missing of course.

[@FreedomRock44]

I love slot mags too but TURBINES are my #1!!!!!

[@lirr408]

Great video . I know it is a year after, but I am hoping you got the yellow 77/78 club cab, the first one you looked at. That one looked like you could put a key in it and drive off. Possibly going back for the blue 67 and the 71 new Yorker behind it. Love your content.

[@lirr408]

79/80.

[@seaboltandsonsautomotivead2510]

I have 76 f100 ranger xlt always a fan of a dent side and bump sides and already subscribed to both of your channels

[@carado1984]

Guy loves his V's. Sick trucks.

[@Kantrishikrar]

I like the Ford with the overhang and marker lights. You probably got that NASA Dodge if I had to guess. It's beat up just enough to fit in with your lot.

[@davidbeauchene]

I saw one in there that looked like my Fathers old 1979 Ford F250 Ranger Xlt super cab it was 2wd 460 v8 it looked like a different green box was put on it was brown and tan 2 tone he got rid of because the steering gear went out a 2nd time nice to see it in the video as I lost my father in 2018 on Superbowl Sunday miss him everyday

[@kc0lif]

i like those crew cab trucks. 1970s ford torinos are cool.

[@gunjiweber42]

You gotta buy all those Dodges !! And the New Yorker

[@petecunnien5368]

What an incredible collection!! I’d want that crew can NASA dodge for sure!!
