I built a boom like that on my 1952 m37 to hang steel for my shop.. Truck is still being used as a crane to this very day.. Cheers; Mike in Louisiana

[@jdjeep46]

I like this truck too! Pretty cool.

[@tommyeugene]

what a great ol survivor! proud of your hard work on a good ol workhorse!

[@granch4211]

That will be really handy in the woods very good buy cheap

[@jimmychanbers2424]

We called them gen pole trucks. Nice rig.

[@benjimenfranklin7650]

The front glass has probably been replaced some time ago. That a neat truck though. I said the glass was replaced because in old trucks like that if it has original glass it will usually separate on the inside turning the windshield frosty white.

When I store an engine outside, I cut a 55 gallon barrel in half which makes two engine covers. Most of the time there isn't a need to cut out the barrel ends. If engine is a V8 or V6 I cut the barrel ends out and flatten the barrel to the correct width. Works on transmissions too.

Find a door and keep that interior rust free. Loving the old stuff more and more as I age myself more.

[@haroldwilkerson2026]

Love it this is a cool old truck makes me want to go up in the hills and drag out the old power wagon that sitting up there with the tow bed on it

[@Stanley7746]

I drove a 1950 Dodge 3/4 ton PU so I can relate to your trucks. The vast room in the cab and the engine well is hard to get in videos. And yes, this one is nice.

[@skipstein744]

A great find and heavy duty!

[@fuzzwack1]

Very nice find!

[@whathappensinmaine5463]

Youre lucky man, i know farmers with like 6 of these per field and they wont sell. "Oh ima fix it someday" while you hear the truck crying. Id love to have one (mainer here, hence the name). I love seeing the ingenuity you Alaskans have. Especially Ethal😂😂😂 Ethal holds a special place with me cause my 78 is very relatable to er

[@benjaminsmith8058]

The old G506 is the most badass trucks ever made !

[@wilkersonsmowershop8379]

I'm a Ford guy but that is a helluva rig. Great save 👍.

[@grahamparr3933]

This is your typical Heath Robinson😉

[@grahamparr3933]

You will need to keep an eye on that hub, welding heat could have boiled the grease.

[@stevezwemer1262]

Nice truck and spare parts for the money. It’s a multi -useful truck with quite a history. The stories it could tell if it could talk !! Will be interesting to see what you do with it.

[@stevemiller6766]

Envy you man - I wish I could have landed somewhere like where you are. Thanks for bringing us along! Something to consider on you fuel system, if you put the fuel filter on the suction side of the fuel pump it will keep crap in the fuel system out of the pump. I've done this on many vehicles thru the years and saved a bunch of fuel pumps. Thanks for the video!

[@waynegouin939]

Hi from Michigan. Sweet old Chevy! Come in handy as hell. Rev.

[@roycuyler]

A great find.

[@highlanderoutsider5259]

So cool that you are rehoming these awesome historic vehicles,will anyone be dragging a Mazda out of the woods in 70 years from now and getting it running on its own fuel tank with a few hours work?.

[@mattkaustickomments]

Nice score. Learned a lot about these trucks from this video. Subscribed.

[@DarkFlamage]

I like the way that machine looks, although might be nice to have a door just to keep the inside in good shape.

[@michaelmarrett6423]

Love the truck! I wish you had cranked it. Would have been really cool to hear it run and see it drive.

[@joeminella5315]

Good deal for 1500!!

[@timothyballinger6280]

Absolutely love the truck! I'm impressed with your videos. Keep them coming

[@CrustyRustysRestoration]

Dude that is one beefy rig! Those engines look kinda like an IH 241 i6

[@tedwpx123]

wow we have to see you lift something with it

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

Young man I love your channel it’s awesome thanks so much for the vids

[@hooptydx]

that thing is cool.

[@JDawghasaTruck]

Awesome!

[@rickashay6023]

Cant wait to here it run . Handy rig .

[@grahamparr3933]

Looks like front fenders need a waxing😉

[@Thrill.Seeker76]

Great rig. I just picked up a 41’ or 42’ with dual rear axles and the same boom setup only mine has the boom off the back with a Garwood winch and also has a hand winch for raising/lowering the boom. It had been sitting for about 8- 10 years but with a little oil down the cylinders, a battery and a set of points it fired up a runs great. Everything works except the clutch. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and watching videos but I’m still not sure which one I need or where I can find either a replacement a rebuild or what the options are. Anyway, I’ve already learned a bunch from your channel and figured I’d ask you in the hopes that you might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks…

[@BackyardAlaskan]

Hey thanks for watching and for the comment. Would love to see some photos of it. Email me at [e-mail]

[@rockcrusher4636]

Nice, you said lucked out, please give the other fellow the credit of being a fair man, in this case a very fair man. Cheers.

[@thinkingofyouto1]

No need to justify The purchase as hard as they are to find little and funny one running and driving with a little work especially all the extra parts you can’t pass that up even if you didn’t want it you have to buy it

[@grantyouful]

Wish i was near u so i could get some parts for my 42 cckw 353

[@RatdogDRB]

Nice. Was hoping to hear it purr.

[@lonnyjaw]

I wish I could find cool stuff like that around here. I'm so sick of looking at these new cookie cutter 4 door pick up trucks that's out there today.

[@72chargerse72]

Cool

[@onceANexile]

👍👈 GREAT FIND. DA CCK...

[@angelcarrion7624]

Why don't you take the door of one of the door from the other truck and put it on the one that runs

[@OldBrownDog]

[@johndowe7003]

[@gispel7058]

Lol. The license plate has my initials.

[@greggmckinney9171]

Please fix the transmission on the old dodge

[@Z_732]

Very cool... im half way in, ish.. you interested in any parts for original ones?.. i got one thats an m6 bombtruck that got heavily modified with a cab add.. so, at this point I'm thinking I'm gonna make it mine. But I do have some pieces I'd be willing to let go of.

[@Z_732]

Me and my boys are gonna make that thing an "offroad recovery vehicle"... what i need is a good solid boom..

[@Z_732]

[@w.w.2restorations.vehicles698]

Great find B.A. I watched your video about the "girl wanted" truck. Both are pretty good. If you need help with parts or advice on mechanical issues, let me know. Here is a link to my Chevy. I hope you watch it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXatZIl_fZl-ncU... P.S., I have a spare driver door that is in pretty good shape if you need it.
