We picked up a 1976 Mercury Station Wagon with 460 power to attempt to head 200 miles west and pick up our new secret project. Unfortunately the car was rotted beyond comprehension so we had to fabricate new floors for it, and hit the road with minimal testing. Halfway through, the wagon gives up the ghost and we are forced to acquire another vehicle, a 1987 GMC squarebody. With a little work it seems to be a great truck, until the unthinkable happens...

[@Kane26510]

Jeez. My daughter was sideswiped by an 18 wheeler back in April - turned into a hit-and-run. She didn't have the advantage of being in a square body. She was in a 2012 Ford Fusion and was hit and subsequently run off the road - she kept her head enough to swerve actively to avoid trees and sign stanchions (the Trooper responding told her as much). They caught up with the guy. Case is in litigation. I'm glad you guys were okay. Never a dull moment.

[@kylenewton5446]

If its possible, you gotta bring that old GMC back to life.. stood there like a rock and kept yall safe, fired back up and tried to kick some more ass, definitely deserving of a "revival" Also as a driver myself, take that SOB to the cleaners, he probably has a dashcam that will tell all, definitely should have a electronic log book, comb through it with a fine tooth comb, have his social medias and everything checked on his phone for distraced driving. That caliber of "driver" is overrunning and ruining a once proud and true profession.. yall be safe out there. Thanks for being my favorite channel/ personality on any paltform ever, keep the good work up dalton!

[@kuhrd]

While I am glad that noone appeared to be seriously hurt, we have no idea from the evidence shown in this video that Dalton was or was not at partial fault. It is very possible that the turn signals in that truck could have failed. It is also possible that the truck driver was not paying attention and did not see his signal and Dalton did not check his mirror before turning. One thing is for sure, it is generally not a good idea to try and pass anyone in areas where there are cross roads and the truck driver should always assume that someone, especially if they are slowing down might be turning. One thing I do see more and more are people passing on the right of slowing down or stopped left turning vehicles on 2 lane roads using the right turn lane at intersections, which is not illegal in my state unless marked but I see it happen almost daily now which is scary since it can be very dangerous when people are not paying attention or the oncoming traffic also decides to make a left turn at the same time since they may not be expecting someone to pass on the right.

[@claytonkillenbeck1102]

OMG, first the wagon tries to kill you by blowing up, then the semi driver tries even harder! Really glad to see you were all okay.

[@Hoa-Mechanical]

👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NEEDbacon]

TBH it's probably for the best the Wagon gave up the ghost when it did. While I trust Dalton's handy work in making something "Useable" I don't quite think it'd stand up to an impromptu NHTSA Crash Safety evaluation with a Semi. But really glad the gang are safe.

JD is learning valuable life lessons: 1) Don't buy cars "sight unseen" (unless you have a You Tube channel); 2) Keep your cool, even when your engine doesn't; 3) Go with the flow, roll with the punches, and don't take life (or yourself) too seriously! 4) Carry cash for the unexpected.

Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, snatched from the jaws of victory, snatched from the jaws of defeat, snatched from the etc, you get my point. You are some guy! most would have given up looking at those floors. You overcame terminal rust, a blown engine and being swiped by a 40 tonne semi to get to where you wanted to be. Are all your days like this? Do you send merch to the UK? I want some if it makes me like you.

[@theathjr]

Glad you guys are ok. As a ups driver for 31 years I can say when turning left always watch the rear view mirrors and avoid that type of accident. I have avoided hundreds of accidents by scanning my mirrors while attempting a left turn. Granted the truck driver was at fault here but hey I’m just trying to help future situations like this. Yes I will be ordering a t shirt👊

[@pollyg562]

Dalton is killing it in the car rebuild channel world bcoz IMO were just bored of "WILL IT RUN: videos you can only watch so many before they all seem the same Dalton fixes the whole car and even paints them nobody doing it like him. teaching Jess to weld just brings this to a new level and for a first timer I think she killed it

[@pnwvibes_]

I'm glad you all are ok.

"I've wanted one of these since last week!" Congratulations, 10 seconds in and you hit a home run

Sucks about the truck but I'm glad you guys are OK. I'm also glad Jim has become a regular guest on the channel.

[@lanceknight4099]

I’m happy you guys were ok after the accident. An epic video, the wagon with no floors, purchasing another vehicle while driving a car that is blowing a hole in the motor😂 but it sucks the truck didn’t make it. Can’t wait for the next video! Keep your head up.

[@CarswithNash]

I'm so glad you guys are all okay! What a stupid accident on the part of the semi driver!

[@Trenton-om9qs]

I seen the posts of this trip on Facebook and Instagram and I'm like "my god they just can't catch a break". I'm glad everyone is ok.

[@3DThrills]

16:36 People are selling Regal Jumping Spiders like that beauty for $100. Look it up. Get a macro lens and have some fun. They don't build webs to catch their prey, they stalk them and will attack bugs more than twice their size.

[@NEEDbacon]

Sounds like a new business venture for Dalton: Pole Barn Spider Farm. I'm sure he's already got quite the stock of brown recluses.

[@cameronlovesevolve]

"Ive wanted one of these since last week!" this is all too relatable lol. Looking forward to this video!

[@speedy9779]

Glad y'all are ok. Everyone needs to buy a shirt to help Dalton recover his losses from the wreck. Pre ordered my shirt to help out

Habib trucker took a whole bus load of teenaged hockey players here in Alberta a couple years ago, the exact same bad driving skills, glad you guys are good, you're a stronger man than me, I wouldn't be able to keep my cool that well with son in the car, keep your chin up, good job

[@Thecanadianseige69]

Same here in sask. The Humboldt incident was the same story.

[@kylehenderson3083]

Yup those drivers still scare me I live in Saskatchewan like 45 minutes away from the crash site

[@Thecanadianseige69]

@@kylehenderson3083 I keep my distance from trucks these days. Had a few close calls my self.

[@MichaelMassimino]

Jess welding is gold, you gus are awesome

[@lah-tee5412]

So cool seeing you guys in my neck of the woods! Also express tire is amazing and they always take care of my mother very well. So sorry you had that experience here but I’m happy y’all were able to walk away from that. We’ve got an issue with these “drivers” more and more lately. You might have seen the round about coming off the highway in emporia and the amount of rollovers keeps emergency crews very busy. Just so sorry that happened to you here.

[@garygross6849]

Glad you all got to your destination. Who would have thought that getting hit by the truck would be the worst part of the trip.

[@James01520]

This is like a season ending cliffhanger episode Dalton! WTF! Glad you are all okay. The things you have to do to keep us entertained...

[@Hoa-Mechanical]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Joe6packAmerican]

Oh, one of THOSE truck drivers. They're dangerous as hell. They don't give a damn about the rules of the road. So glad you guys are okay. THOSE kind of truck drivers need to go back home. Make sure your lawyer combs through his log book and cell phone GPS. Guaranteed he was running illegal.

[@derekniemann7907]

Saw that myself. As a warehouse worker, I myself could back that sucker to the dock better then they can. Did you catch the Calli plates? I lol'd so hard.

[@todddenio3200]

Those guys are why I am glad I no longer drive truck and let my CDL go.

[@admiralrustyshackleford119]

​@@derekniemann7907I'm sure it's only gotten worse over the years, I seen it 10-12 years ago while working a distribution center while I was in college. You'd open the dock door and there's 4 feet of daylight on one side of the trailer, so wave the dufus over and try to explain to his hardly English speaking self that he's gotta move his truck over, shut the door and go work another trailer in the meantime, come back a few minutes later and now he's 4 feet past the dock plate on the other side... Seemed like a weekly thing that one of them would get their semi stuck in the employee parking lot, despite the half mile worth of signs along the frontage road saying where the truck entrance was and that this particular lot with a gate that your truck isn't gonna fit through was employee parking only.

you're extremely lucky you didnt have that accident in that wagon because with the way you had that shelf setup you would've seriously hurt yourselves

[@juststuffwithwolfe4482]

1:07:35 I’m glad that you guys are ok! I can’t believe that just happened and the old square body took that semi like it was nothing

Glad you guys are ok! Driving is the most dangerous thing we do everyday! Stay safe out there!
