I Bought my DREAM TRUCK! It needs some work....

I literally started clapping my hands when you said you are going to pull the short bed and put a long bed on it. Like you I love the long beds.

No matter what anybody says..."It's your money", you can do what you want. It's good to have projects.

I love seeing the children with dad… that’s awesome cool

[@brianlynch3436]

Thank you Silas for the shout-out for our flea market. It was awesome. hopefully some folks will stop in and say they saw it on your channel.

[@mr_p1240]

love how you never seem to stop

I can’t find the brakes 😆

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Hey Silas ... what's up.... what's the deal on the cars from the warehouse? I'm interested in the 58 Olds

[@swh1123]

I live in Crossville, TN. It's cool to see you shout out the Flea Market.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I’m always happy to support businesses like that. I hope I get to see it in person some day!

[@czechmate6916]

That’s a nice looking crew you got. I think it’s wonderful that you get them involved with your work. They are going to have a good head on their shoulders and they will have respect all thanks to their dad.

[@inglwud5625]

Love those old crew cabs!

[@scrapitaus]

Nice, cant wait until i get mine in 20 years or so lol.

[@aceadman]

I’m a bit of a mad scientist. So EVERYTHING looks like good raw material to me. Plus, I have the treasure hunter gene. I think we’d get along. Wish I was closer to you. Love the channel and all it’s eccentric delights. They’re cool. And don’t let anyone stop you from saying so!! 😊👍👍

[@jonesmetsasta226]

That 4d cab looks cool. The way you are going to collect money and wait until it's all there, proves you know what you are doing.

[@timphillips6744]

As I've said many times...I love old trucks! Hopefully, I'll live long enough to see it completed. You may not have 20 grand to invest now, but you sir Are a very rich man! Looks like you are in good health, beautiful children, thriving business, still have your dad and I'm sure you have a beautiful wife. You have it all my friend! I hope you take the time to thank your maker! You sure have been blessed! I'm looking forward to more videos. Stay safe.

Great year truck. Can’t wait to see you start working on it and to see it done. And yes start the kids young on that junking it’s always great adventures for them and they can learn a lot. And thanks for taking the time to share with all of us . Just love watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@rogerdereske5923]

I love the way you treat your kids. You are a hard working family man. None better in my book.....

[@bigDH123]

Thanks for the ride along Silas, I used to own a 68 dodge 100 reg. cab, it was an awesome truck.

[@jonathangodbout6645]

Enjoy the time with your kids while they're still young. Time sure does fly fast. They will be grown up like mine before you know it. Enjoy them when they're little

[@68burnout]

Love the old Dodge trucks. I had a '76 W200 ex army truck. I live in the Netherlands and about 30 years ago the US army sold a whole bunch of them. Around that time they replaced them for the Chevy K30. There used to be an army base near my hometown. I can tell you that driving a truck like that around here sure was an adventure on it's own. It was a 318. Very spartan inside...no headliner, no carpet, no powersteering...felt like driving a tank.. 🤣🤣 Awesome trucks! Love your channel 👍👍

[@erikalbertson7483]

My brother in law was born in Crossville. Beautiful country around there ! I used to bring treasures back from the salvage yard too ! My dad and I would spend all day looking around. We had a few full of old cars from the 30's-70's. Drove my mom nuts !

[@machinist5828]

That may be a retired Air Force crew wagon. Those were still in use around the base to haul missle maintenance crews and security details to the missle fields. Many had slide-in campers installed. Also the aircraft alert crews used those so the whole crew could throw their A bags in the back and get to the flight line alert pad. There should be more out there but my information is getting as rusty as your floorboards. Keep an eye on the equipment auctions and military surplus sites. While in the service those trucks were well maintained but but operated in some of the most demanding conditions from miles of dusty gravel roads to white-out blizzards. Good luck with that old truck. Listen on a quiet night and you might get to hear some whispers of tales past. Cheers Terry

[@williamlloyd3769]

Agree, does remind me of an Air Force “follow me” ramp truck. - Crew cab - long bed - 4 wheel drive - slightly lifted - spotlights - Follow Me sign above cab PS - government surplus property site would be the place to pick up an example

[@mikeleach4201]

Beautiful kids! Your wife must be too. The boy looks just like a mini-you.

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

One good thing about driving in the rain. Both the engine and tires run cooler.

[@williamdeegan7840]

Is your Dad camera-shy ? Be nice to see him. He raised a good hard working son. Cool truck. Quad cabs like that are cool. Both doors front and back are the same. I think.

[@albertbasson6611]

Just build it Silas.... 🙏 🙏 🙏 please??

[@michaelesplin529]

I had a 3/4 ton 66 crew cab with an 8 foot fleetside bed, 318ci 4 speed top loader granny low 1st, no power steering. You had to start your turn a 1/4 mile early, it had a huge steering wheel and you really needed it.

[@johnelliott7375]

I am excited for you Silas'and I hope that you are able to get some progress on it sooner than later. Your have a great morning.

[@johncope9906]

Good project truck. 👍

[@KM_59]

Let’s go get her going !!

[@milehighkit4725]

That's a rare one! I've got a 70 camper special that was my fathers, 318 automatic truck. Your videos are looking real crisp.Took me a while to figure out you have been uploading in 4K. Take care.

[@barrybranson1260]

f you are just using this vehicle for a tow rig, Have you thought about using one of your mini buses for the tow rig, just add a trailer hitch? Buses usually have a diesel motor and a manual transmission. Take the far back seats out and add a 4" sink base. On the other side you could put in a porta--potty. Put in a small foldup table and you have a place to eat or play board games or read. It should have room for the wife and 3 kids. The mobile unit would be good for camping and allow you to take the whole family with you. Parts should be cheaper and more plentiful. Add some water and lets hit the road. On your next vehicle, grab another mini bus from the yard and improve it more!

[@patricksilvestri2276]

I hope you make a good amount of money on KZbin so you'll keep us updated on your project and good luck

One man's daughter's treasure is one man's junk. That's a detour from the popular expression.

I think you and I as well as a lot of other working men out there have the same opinion of DOT.

[@doug8525]

That’s a cool truck. The first four door one I saw when I was a kid was an International. Good find! Aren’t kids great? Always willing to help! Have a great day!

[@morgansword]

The best thing in this video, is a ride along with a friend extended a dozen states and a few providence's from each other. Were I say twenty years minimum younger, I could fix that slight issue. Its a great find Silas... I am thinking along the same lines as you with one exception that might work/help do this. "Made from scratch plus".... a channel that would collaborate this build between you and the man who will do this job. I think if effort was made to figure it out, it would fly well and of course, if the man who does the work is interested, your still getting rigs that if done.... ones that really are not far gone (not yard art material) would continue the new channel. It would be hard to get a "Karl Fisher" kind guy who is one fantastic metal man on the team. It might just be the time to bring in new blood as in someone who will connect with people well and be a good hand to have. I could go on and on for how to find or other stuff but you already built a successful channel, its a snap now. I believe the trick is finding someone who has a lot of experience, maybe retired looking for things to do for the retirement days or a 1092 form "self employed" cash kind of person.
