Look What I Dragged In The Shop! Part 1 of Baby Blue

I love those swing-out fenders. What a fantastic design that was to be able to service the engine.

[@WelkerFarms]

They are!

[@PAHighHopesFarm]

Nick, you have to leave the shifter long!! Adds character.

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

That truck is a COLLECTOR!!!!! It is excellent shape!!

[@geraldfelchGoose]

O boy you got my truck out. Us Mopar people believe that you have blasphemed by putting that off brand stuff in there. When that GM craps out Put a twelve valve in it. It might have had a 361 in it. What a lovely old beast. Thanks

[@twentypdrparrott694]

Old school where the fenders open up to get to the engine. A good design and made it easy for the mechanic.

[@SbrGrendel65]

I’m truly amazed at how much fixing and fabrication work you guys do. I love the mix of old Iron n New doing the work on your farm. To me there is nothing like seeing older American made equipment still being used as a tool on a farm/ranch.

[@WelkerFarms]

Our pleasure!

[@michaelvogel2522]

When I was 19, the first big truck I ran was a Dodge 800 tandem with a 555 Cummins engine and a 10 speed road ranger, what a beater, that was 1984.

[@Erated78]

I’m impressed the skid steer could so easily move that old dodge truck!

[@Guarddog83]

Glad you guys are showing the Dodges some love.

[@Simplejack2514]

That is such a cool old truck..just imagine back in the day when designed the hood and fenders..glad you kept it and are putting it back into production.. Hoping to see more vids on this old gal.

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

you guys give me motivation to fix my own stuff. youre so calm when you tear into things and try to figure out a way to save them. i think its also a good lesson to myself and other that you dont need brand new things in life to get work done

[@robbierobertson7607]

I love it when you pull something out the scrap pile and inject new life into it well done 👏

[@joelchurch2499]

So glad to see the old Dodge get put to work. I’ve been admiring them when the camera passed by them. My granddad had a ‘63 model that he hauled logs with.

[@jdrogers8720]

Well many years back while working as a Master ]ford tech we also did big Ford truck work and back then we rebuilt everything and i can not tell you how many master cylinders we rebuilt along with the clutch master cylinders and wheel cylinders . when not at work i did side jobs and NAPA USE to have everything ya needed for anything. .

[@patrickgroenewegen]

Love those old Dodge trucks. We had a D800, single axle, 855 big cam, with a stainless milk tank on it. Had the old luber-finer on it. Was quite the machine!

[@nicholasherman8155]

M27304 is the dorman part number for that master cylinder. Napa has them available in their Billings DC. They lost for 134 bucks. Line code nmc. Just a heads up. I have a diesel shop out here in Oregon and I have seen several of these old Wagner brake systems on old farm trucks in our area. Keep up the great work guys! I always enjoy to watch you guys. Happy New Years

[@billemerick8782]

Cool old Dodge. My dad had a '66 C500 361 w5+2 pony axle 14 ft Knapheide bed w2 sets of tiptops. Hauled about 450 bu corn. My brother had a '64 CT800 413 w5+3sp aux. 16ft Knapheide w steel floor+gravel gate. Armstrong steering. Gave me the trucking fever + still doing it 50 years later. Just a little more modern equipment these days. '21 T680 KW. Still miss the old ones

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

Great seeing you getting some moisture… praying that you and the western high deserts continue with snow and rain fall.

[@ryfish5]

That clacking noise you hear when you first start the door opening is the very dry coils of the springs moving against each other as the spring starts to unwind. Some oil on those springs will make them quieter and make them last longer.

Sweet love to see you guys resurrecting the old stuff on your farm!! Hoping to see more in the future

[@chrisscustom712]

I (own sitting in a field) one old dodge. It a dump truck but the cab is the same colour. That’s why I clicked on this video. It’s rare that we see them now. It was my great grandfather’s truck.

[@TexasGTO]

Nick is definitely the personality on this channel. His commentary flows, it's interesting and very funny. That said, I relate to Scott so much more. His struggles with reading and writing. Mechanical things make sense to him. Kind of awkward. Anyway, awesome video and I enjoy following along with y'all.

Put a can or 3 of Berrymans tune up in a can in the gas tank. Derek from Vise Grip Garge uses it all the time.

[@tf7274]

We had a D500 Red single axel, gas V8 that had the big round single lights and a foot pump for window washers. The interior was so mint that we took photos in it and everyone thought we had a classic car.

[@crashed9072]

You can buy new master cylinder cups at most parts stores, it makes it easy when you have the original to match it up because it will have a number on it. I worked in a parts store for 10+ years and it amazed me how many shops would just buy a new/rebuilt master for $80 - $150 instead of seals and cups for $5 - $15.

[@danvetor1365]

As a kid I used to see these rigs coming and going to different Chrysler plants in Windsor Ontario. They are still one of my favourite! Great video!

[@cameltanker1286]

Like that Hillbilly Hurst shifter you got there. For that varnished gasoline, I'd have a few fuel filters on standby.

[@mrbunny8050]

I hope that some of your snow moisture soaks into the ground this spring to help your multi year drought.

[@michaeldouglas1243]

Loved this video nick, reminded me growing up on our family farm with grandpa yelling at me letting heat out of shop or wasting wd40 etc etc. Thanks for bringing back the memories. I'd give anything to go back then

[@firemanjay1472]

So a word to the wise, we worked on lots of these hydraulic brake units by Lethbridge. You fix the master cylinder, but your booster down on the frame more than likely needs rebuilding… (a few hydraulic brake suppliers still do, send it to them, they rebuild and ship back to you) but the problem is the brakes get out of adjustment, so the booster piston travels too far trying to move enough fluid to the out-of-adjustment brake cylinders to apply the brakes against the drums. The bottoming out wrecks the booster. If your booster is ok, consider yourself very lucky!! Otherwise it might need some attention to get the brakes A-ok. (You guys seem like you like to do things right!)

[@datfarmboy]

You have to keep that shifter the length it is...that is absolutely the best touch you could give that thing...please keep it 🤞🤞

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Really something that back in the day when we were kids and those trucks were new, I am 61 years old. That they have fluid breaks this day and age something that makes nine times out of 10 going to have air brakes

[@robertheinkel6225]

I was impressed how the skid steer manhandled that truck. You didn’t even need anyone to steer it.

[@WelkerFarms]

There were a few helper mice in the cab...

[@dtnicholls1]

Cool old truck. Might want a fan shroud that actually shrouds the fan when summer comes along though...

[@hairlesscat6458]

I believe it possibly could have been a 318 that you guys pulled out. The 318 is a great engine, almost as good as the 350 in my opinion

[@clinthochrein888]

Awesome to see an old dodge truck run again. This past summer there was a guy that purchased a old Ford Louisville with a grain box black cab red box. Came down the road backfired while downshifting. Sounded awesomely loud with the bad exhaust when the guy took off.

[@farmerkid47]

5:28 lol I had to do the walk of shame from my friends durmax me and him were in when we got it stuck at his cabin near their house. Took we a while but thankfully it was only -13 Celsius and didn’t see any cougars walking through the trees

[@heatmoon]

Son last skid steer I drove was a John Deere, gas, no cage or roll protection. Seemed to have its hands full with 1 round bail. Things aopear to have chnaged. No longer does getting stuck running the skid steer mean you're the next on the unemployment line.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

Nick, when bleeding truck brakes, there are 1 to 3 bleeder screws on the brake booster cylinder under the right cab step. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border.

We have an old 1955 Ford C-600 in the shed. It has the same style brake system with the booster under the floor.

When I was a young apprentice at Cummins Ontario in the early 70’s, we worked on lots of these. If your getting into serious work on the engine you can remove the rad and fender assembly in about 30 minutes. I can’t get over how rust free these trucks look. Use it, but don’t abuse it.

Might have to do something better for the cooling fan, it's so far from the radiator that it won't be pulling any air through. You could put an electric fan in too.

[@robertheinkel6225]

The cooling will definitely be an issue. Only an electric fan will fix that.

Its amazing how good condition these Dodge trucks are! The bodies are in such good condition and even the rear end is like new! What a cool project it would be to put in a Cummins 12 or 24 valve.

[@summerrancher8044]

Just thought on safety. Might have been better to hook onto that truck facing the skid steer forward so at least you had the rear of the skid steer for protection. Family friend got knocked unconscious trying to pull a truck out with a farm hand. Chain shot up through the tractor rear glass and knocked him out. Really need a Deadman of some sort hanging on the chain and/or pull it different so if it breaks you don't get hurt. (I've done stuff like what you did so many times and never really thought about it. Having someone you know get hurt tends to open your eyes to the danger) Stay safe guys!! Also, I think you're going to need an electric fan for the radiator. Don't think you'll get much benefit the way it sets now.

Hey Nick, another great video as always. Just wanted to let you know the word you were looking for at the 15:48 mark in the video is crosshatches. Honing a cylinder creates a pattern of extremely light scoring known as crosshatches. I don't know exactly how to explain it but what I was taught is that the X pattern created along the cylinder wall is an aide to the seal for the piston moving inside of it.
