Pulling an Old Dodge out of BRUSH - Will it Run?

[@brentunderwood7600]

good video! nothing better than reviving a old truck with some good ol country music playing!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Yessir! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@spaceghost8995]

Thanks for the warning. I will MUTE it immediately.

[@auaiao9]

It's crazy how deep it was buried in dirt and even crazier the shape that the batteries are in. I've never seen batteries with the sides rotted out of them.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ya, have never seen anything like it!

[@juansalinas8317]

The name of the song

[@danielfiske9849]

This is going to help your channel blow up!! Great content.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Glad you think so!

[@kb94596]

Dad and Devon show - great as always! That guy was probably an electrician-saw electrical parts in the bed boxes. Looks like it was a highly optioned truck-AC and had carpet on the door bottoms I think.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

He was an electrician. The trail duster came from the same gentleman and both were filled with electrical stuff. Very highly optioned truck. The big thing is the bucket seats. We haven’t seen a truck with them yet.

[@M.TTT.]

electricians need to be extra comfortable, not like a real blue collar man LOL, joking

[@dirtyberniesgarage1194]

I hope somebody revives that old riding mower. Kool piece

[@RealSteelFabrications]

I wish I asked about it

[@nathankim7664]

17:05. That's the aftermarket 8 track player! It may be come with FM as a lot of cars with AM only radios can have an aftermarket 8 track or cassette player with FM capabilities so you won't be left behind the times 😉 I'd see if you can get it working again! Changing the belt on those things aren't difficult!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Haha, too groovy! I believe someone has purchased it from Dad, maybe they’ll listen to some tunes on it once again.

[@MidnightPolaris800]

awesome Dodge...i cant believe it was buried that bad and still rolls...and the negative terminal at the end made me laugh pretty good

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ya we were very surprised. Pretty smooth recovery really. lol, he asked for a cable so I got the longest piece of junk I could find

[@tyrvidar]

Crazy how buried that thing was, great stuff guys

[@RealSteelFabrications]

It sure was. Appreciate it

[@NathansMoparGarage]

Nice rescue. It was better than I thought it would be considering how buried it was.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Same here. Especially if it was truly there since 1983.

[@klapaucius77]

I used the torch to get my sons ATV engine free. It sat in a barn without a spark plug for over 20 years. It still runs great today, we've never had the engine apart. Heat, followed by penetrating oil repeatedly got it free. I don't think it's going to get that 318 going though.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ya, this engine is just to far gone

[@edwardhontz4228]

That appears to be very close to an adventurer package highly recommend saving this one

[@briane.5656]

Cool! I have a '70 D200 Camper Special in the same color scheme. And that grill looks in really good shape.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Sweet! The grill is in very good shape.

[@itsreallyreal1337]

Nice work, you guys are putting out a lot content.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Appreciate it! Been hustling. Was hoping to get another truck going the other day but it’s being stubborn. Got big ole truck coming Wednesday, it’ll be something we’ve never done before so stay tuned.

[@randyriggs5463]

Put some acetone and transmission fluid init. Let it sit for a while, and it should turn over. Hope to see more on this truck.

[@metalmangle]

Nice work you two!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thank ya! Wish we could have got the motor goin tho

[@metalmangle]

@RealSteelFabrications like you said, you have a perfectly good 383 big boy just waiting to be used. 318s are good little motors but realistically, you're probably doin it more good not running it. You might could get away with a backyard rebuild with a dingleball hone and some gaskets. Ya never know. :D

[@enjoythesho1992]

Awesome find I've been looking for one for years now every time I run across one the price is just way ridiculous....I'll get mine one day

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Good luck, the prices of them have went up a lot over the years. This might have been the cheapest one in history… $150

[@enjoythesho1992]

​@RealSteelFabrications prices of everything has gone up I think the problem is here in the south they are all pretty solid so people ask alot for them I'll find one someday I got my hands full with my d150s right now

[@craigbowley6783]

If you add acetone to your concoction. Itll help eat at the rust.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

This old girl ain’t worth the time

[@maulol4410]

If you use a chain wrench on the crank pulley. You don't have to worry about breaking the bolt.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Gonna call it quits on that motor

[@tonybooth2811]

Getting a good collection of dodge trucks !!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Sure are!

[@TheRustFarm]

Good save! I have a 71 adventurer identical to that but I swapped my body onto a w200 chassis

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Awesome! We swapped a crew cab on to a first gen Cummins chassis

[@TheRustFarm]

@@RealSteelFabrications yeah I love your crew cab! I daily a 68 crew cab dually I swapped on a second gen Cummins years ago also a 62 short bed on a 94 12 valve and I started a sweptline Ramcharger build on another second gen Cummins

[@danielfiske9849]

Insane ... Great project.😊

Dad bought a vinyl cutter. Need to get him on it

[@brandonlisenby6752]

Little secret about the 65 to 71 dodge truck and the 69-72 ford f100 the tailgates are the same. I bought a 69 d100 took the chrome insert off of the tailgate and it had the ford stamped in it.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ohhh wow! Never knew that.

[@brandonlisenby6752]

@@RealSteelFabrications I figured it out by mistake lol. Had an old body man that told me he had seen it dozens of times doing body work in the 70’s and 80’s

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Very nice. Good to know considering a decent gate is getting harder and harder to find.

[@brandonlisenby6752]

Tell dad that the battery charger ran off on you when it saw the battery he wanted you to charge 😂😂

[@RealSteelFabrications]

lol. Imagine if that thing took charge

[@Joschi746]

Nice Job ❤

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Thank you!

[@GrantShallow]

Would u put the motor from that other truck in this truck?

[@RealSteelFabrications]

We considered it, but the 383 might get used for a truck we are getting this week

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

Big Red Drop that 383 in that Red Truck 🛻😊😊😊

[@RealSteelFabrications]

The 383 might need to go in a truck we are getting Wednesday. Let’s just say it’s a very large truck with a little motor…

[@alcosta2040]

Hey just found you guys not long ago like the show just subscribed I'm big Mopar guy. Have to let you know that 383 you got running has the wrong spark plugs in it !!!! Way to long !! Those are for the small block Mopar motors the LA series motors the plugs for big blocks are shorter by like half !!! You didn't mess anything up but uu can so change them out I think in champion plugs it calls for a RJ12YC keep up the good work man ! Again like the show

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Big Mopar family here, so more to come! If we end up using that 383 for a project, I’ll look into those plugs, thanks for the info. We haven’t messed much with the big blocks, seems like everything has the ole 318 in it lol. I’m getting another old Dodge this week that I think that 383 would be good in. Appreciate the support.

[@KennethMason-j6i]

I believe you get that old 318 going if you put a little more effort into it

[@Rocket-ck3qn]

I hate to be a know-it-all , old school wagon rim, by far it ain't no slot,,Look I wish I was there helping you good old boys, 30 years doing tree work and clearing, I just want to say the good old boy, who winning there with the weed wacker, weed eater. Weed trimmer, Whatever they call it there, he totally killed it, he had it in the back of the truck exposing everything, awesome work , everything else is irrelevant you still got to dig it out, good work. If you ever need me. God bless you good old boys

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Appreciate the feedback and the offer, we’ll keep that in mind!

[@gabrielkwiatkowski645]

Hermosas camionetas,mi abuelo tuvo varias 6 cilindros,como me gustaría tener una de esas,saca las tapas de cilindros y limpia para no romper el 318,lo ideal seria desarmarlo y limpiarlo bien.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

They are very nice trucks. You’re right, the correct thing would be to take apart the motor and do a deep clean to save the engine. 318 are really quite abundant tho

[@alcosta2040]

O ok I just realized I don't think you pulled that plug from that big block when you checked spark that plug was from other truck or sosmting

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ohhh dang. I forgot about that lol. Ya that plug was from that 318 from the red truck. Great catch. We work on to much junk, can’t remember everything we do

270 hp 2 bbl all 383s. 1970 -1971 383 4 bbl had 300 hp. early 1960s 383s had high and low compression 4 bbls had 325 . 1968- 1970 rated 290 hp. try to use a good size 26 inch type radiator or a aluminum type radiator. that 383 is probably 270 hp. the pistons in the early 1970s have a slightly dished pistons in them. a neighbor back in the late 1970s had bought a 1968 2wd blue 3/4 ton dodge w-200 with a 383 2 bbl with a new process 4 speed with a dana 60. with 4.10 gears. it would pull anything and everything blow the 1 tire off of it. and it passed everything but a gas station.the other neighbor had a 1968 dodge w-100 and beleive it or not it was light green 383 330 hp 727 auto on the dashboard and had a prestolite dualpoint distributor in it. he came up to our farm to get some hay bales off of my father for his cows. put some bales on the box of the truck and it wouldnt start. filed the points and he went home. it had a broken motor mount. the neighbor had given that old relick to niagra mowhawk worker for putting in a power pole for their power. imagine that. he didnt want to give it to his son because he knew his son would have smashed it up. i remember it had white bucket seats in it and wer slightly ripped. a truck like that today would be a nice led sled.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Great info! Thanks for sharing the stories. I couldn’t imagine seeing this truck back in the day when they were stilling being used. Would have been a sight to see vs the new plastic junk running around now
