Towing a Truck With a Truck, This Should be Easy!

In this video I have to move an old Chevrolet 6400 5-ton truck. I already know that the engine was bad 20 or more years ago, so I'm just going to take the easy way out and tow it. This should be no problem...
Here's the sources I used for the engine identification information:

These videos are awakening a desire for an old dump truck in me. I don’t even know what I would do with it, they’re just neat.

[@Vile-Flesh]

Yeah me too. I would totally daily drive that Dodge. That Oshkosh pulled that Chevy with the locked duals like it was nothing!

[@InsaneBimmer]

Low Buck Garage and Diesel Creek are my guilty pleasures lol This channel has come a long way and ALWAYS fun.

[@mikehopkins4546]

Very nostalgic for me. Those dump control levers took me back to an old Jimmy I drove as a teen. If you revved to high while dumping the PTO driveshaft would fly apart and would take an hour to repair. The old oshkosh is a beast!

[@rsprockets7846]

he needs a ops manual for this epic rig

[@Coolturtledudehellyeah]

I would love to see more stuff like this! Your literally playing snowrunner in real life

[@TimMartin-bh9js]

Me and 4of my friend's one winter went to gether and gave 500 for a truck just like that one we fix it up and we hauled hay on it in the summer it's still setting at one of my friend's house man we had some good times and made some money we would haul at night when it was cool we would take turns one would driver and one would pick up up and one would stack and one would hold the light

[@kopperhed4472]

I love the shifty eyes thinking about lunch first. The off-hand manner and simple humor of his channel makes it the best. I hope to see this truck in the future (dare say see it run?)

[@SootyMangabey.]

Man that Oshkosh is too cool! love that 12 valve sound., really hope that she gets restored some day.

[@kellysrestorations.7397]

Love the yellow truck. That thing is a beast! Worth the effort to make everything work properly.

[@richardphelan8414]

Thursday ,With Low Buck garage ,still in the north east guaranteed fun times while learning things ,The More you know . I found your channel by accident ,and now I wouldn't miss it ,I love the setting reminds me when I was a kid living on the farm driving junkers through the woods What great fun that was

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Low-Buck Garage, on finding-out how to mow-down some small trees, also how the transfer lever's work.. good job..

[@rsprockets7846]

and dig ruts to channel the water away from road

[@Rob-n3h7d]

I've a Mechanic for 34 years and I love your videos.

[@rsprockets7846]

the BOB ROSS of the vehicles repair

[@bymarcatholictinkering]

Your available projects and content for videos is off the charts.

[@bymarcatholictinkering]

I was wondering how much land your father has up there ? It appears with all the vehicles and equipment he has looks like at least 15 or 20. Secondly you must have a very very special and supportive spouse you are indeed blessed!

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi, must be great to have so much land to have fun in. Here in UK we only have postage stamp lots. Many thanks.

[@ronfrance4041]

There was a comment I read once on Musties channel that was posted by a fella from the UK and I will never forget it….”must be nice having all that land! Only way I’d ever get a couple acres is if someone kicked me in the nuts!” Hahahaha

[@chrissmith7655]

@@ronfrance4041 hahaha 🤣

[@donaldcampbell5277]

New dump bed for the Oshkosh. Battery cover should have a "D" ring in the turning section.

[@mikehart6708]

Really like your attitude. "If you're not having fun, you're doing it the wrong way" or words to that effect.

[@mikeconner5119]

if you get that diff lock to work look out you could probably drag three of them trucks around lollots of fun watching your vids keep on tuckin

[@Chumley360]

Man, I am so glad that dump bed didn't fall on you.

[@craigbowley6783]

That's some impressive pulling power 👍

[@unhiptser]

yes!!!! I've been missing my high quality low buck garage!!!!

[@MarksGarageChannel]

That was fun. Can you give us a tour of the old GMC that you passed by around 18:30 minutes? Also, those 1954 Chevys are very desirable because the grill is unique to that year.

[@jaybarringer6514]

Always enjoy watching your videos keep them coming

[@dadiusmaximus]

What are y’all going to do with those old Mercedes that keep popping up in the background? Make them into Mutt Truck Mercs?! 😆 Love your channel!

[@jlucasound]

That Osh is awesome! Such a rugged Beast. I love that truck. My father worked for the state of CT for 29 years as a field clerk. He may have actually ridden in this truck!

[@christopherdwyer7570]

I knew that was a ct state seal! I saw the new haven body mud flaps. Litchfield here

[@japdog9]

Giday mate , love your vids and humor , thanks for the giggles . it's much easier to move things sideways if you attach the chain as high and short as you can on thee tow truck and as low as possible on the ruined truck , it will lift as you pull and you won't damage rims and tyres .😎

[@geebopbaluba1591]

It’s amazing who many vehicles you have to drive or drag other vehicles around with. Man I wish I was so lucky.

[@erikandersen2477]

Seems like old yellow has become a drag-ster 😁

[@scottgm321]

Thanks for the video. You always make me laugh and smile.

[@puppyduppy9811]

Those Chevy straight 6 ‘s run forever , and they have a ton of torque

[@HumbleMotorHead1776]

Omg the casual hummer wagon in the background ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ dream vehicle of mine

[@dustcommander100]

I really like that 6400 truck. It's purty and has almost no dents! Weird how it rusted under the hood that way. There are a lot of facts in your videos - always something to learn, like the location of the valve cover bolts and the pressurized oil system.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Can't beat a 12v Cummins! 😁👍 That Oshkosh is just too awesome James! Enjoyed the video and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Ah the power of good ol brute force and momentum. Nicely done.

[@dirk4926]

Starting with lunch is always the best plan

[@fixit5897]

Reinstalling the air filter kinda dressed up the engine some what, good work.

[@patdesrosiers6423]

Better for non-running derelicts to look good than to be good

[@tcsmith4838]

Oh man I could listen to that Cummins work under load for hours!! What a cool truck that Oshkosh is I would literally watch you drag a rock in circles with that Cummins or any old engine under load for that matter 😂😂 The mutt truck sounds great too! Maybe even better

[@evangoodlock1]

Beautiful old truck. Would be cool to see that cab put on something cool. Love the Oshkosh too.

[@OdySlim]

That Oskosh is so cool. It effertlessly drags the old Chevy even with the stuck rear brakes.

[@mickdog2]

that oshkosh is awesome. And I really like the style of the Chevy

[@rodmacisaac5963]

Love the Oshkosh! What a beast !! Awsome yard truck 👍💪🏻

[@Macbetula-yl8wq]

It looks like your having fun.👍

[@anythinggoesgarage5943]

great video! I wish there was more old iron here not in the junk yards.. 5 old c 60s went by my house last week on the way to the junk yard.. what a shame. Stove bolts were a great engine.. lots of good parts on that truck yet.

[@davidbeer]

That Osh Kosh is a total beast!

[@CrustyRustysRestoration]

What a minty old Chevy! Sweet old GMC in the bush too!

[@MatHelm]

What you need for extra maneuvering of your stuff around by yourself is one a those $300 13,500lb winches off Amazon with the wireless remotes, along with a couple snatch blocks. It on the front of my little jeep here has made life so much easier, and my boneyard much tidier to boot.

[@59vaughn]

I'm so glad you didn't cut the tree down....beautiful picture

[@deepbludude4697]

That's such a cool place to go back too!

[@Jeff-1969]

Enjoyed

[@BallBusta]

I like how he did the pruning after it was parked there. Those limbs make for a good cushion to prevent the truck from bumping into the tree trunk.

[@shabadoo24]

I seen guys use the front plow lift to lift cars and trucks off the ground. Just the front or rear. My dad used a western plow lift to pull a boulder out of a hole.

[@mickwtaylor438]

Please can we have a weekly episode??? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻My favourite channel.

[@dogpotter]

Thanks for sharing your fun! Really enjoy watching your videos lots of fun

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Glenn : ) yes had lots fun tow old Chevrolet 3 ton stake truck and 1969 Oshkosh truck trying out 4×4 first time too !

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great vid , hopefully running soon , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@GameOpsDevStyle]

I was struck between the similarities between that Chev 6400 and a TJ Bedford. Some styling differences in the front end, but the cab interiors felt very similar. Been many years since I've been inside one though so could be wrong. I think late 50's Bedfords found their way back to the GM parts bin through Vauxhall? Maybe I'm mile off and my memory playing tricks. A common mod for those Bedfords in AUS when they were relegated to "farm truck" duty was to drop a Holden (GM) 308 V8 in them. Plenty of them lying around.

[@outintheboondocks1466]

Dude, I don't know if you're a genius or an idiot, but I love the way you get things done... 😆

[@bymarcatholictinkering]

I don’t think idiot is at all an consideration

[@Baphomet-J.-Moon-Fetus]

That Oshkosh is a beautiful beast.

[@asbjrnkvisle5831]

That Oshkosh is pretty substantial 🤩

[@handyhippie6548]

i have a '54 6400 ex-grain truck that i cab swapped with a '94 1500. i love those 5 window cab trucks, but rear wheel cylinders are unobtainium for the big trucks, so it went from a ramp truck project to a cab swap project. luckily, the cab is the same no matter what size in that series.

[@hunterwilkins3978]

Just found your channel seem to have some nice old iron I'll be on the lookout for more videos

[@corryn00]

6:10 into the video... WHAT is that little white vehicle in the background.. future video perhaps?

[@LowBuckGarage]

That is an electric utility truck (like the kind that work in zoos and train stations), and I do have some video thoughts for it...

[@000622477]

Keep up the great content!

[@danielhenry3720]

More impressed with that plow truck everytime I see it.

[@rm25088]

Always look forward to your videos.

What great property love that place

[@corywalker9619]

Thanks for another video they are silly but fun to watch

Hey this isn't hacked up to bad. May be worth keeping original. Next sentence: Hey I could use this on something else...😃

Man that Oshkosh is COOL 😎

I enjoy your videos, we work in very similar fashions lol.

[@greggelder4013]

That dump bed on the flatbed needs to be on that Oshkosh!

[@jamespeeks1542]

That Oshkosh is a real beast.

[@WadeKoschney-t4p]

Another Fine Episode!

[@giggitygiggitygoofg6069]

Would you be able to to a property tour or more precisely a junk on the property tour

[@59vaughn]

You have the best toys...😎

[@koenvangeleuken6544]

the rearwheels of the old chevy seem to turn a bit! that means the blockage is in the gear box or maybe there is a hand brake on the the gearbox output/ so if you unbolt hte driveshaft to the rear axle maybe it would roll!?

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Hope you can still get big-end shells for that thing. I suspect some time spent unlocking the rear brakes might have paid dividends - unless it was the trans that was locking the rear wheels.

[@morgansword]

I feel a bit sad that the old 54 model chevy truck is not worth fixing. I so did love the look of them. Its also the look of the very first 55 model trucks as their new bodies were not ready for production and so they used the 54 cab on the 55 for a few months. It made that model cab worth some very serious coin. I ain't sure of much in life but maybe someone whom is moderately moneyed up would enjoy bringing it back to life. That is not your style, you either fix or use to fix others rightfully so

[@LowBuckGarage]

I'm not giving up on it! I didn't bother trying to start it because I knew the motor was bad, but that it not too big of an issue. I'm not sure yet exactly how it will happen, but that cab will drive again, either with an engine upgrade or on a new chassis.

[@chriswilson451]

The Oshkosh is such a cool beast

[@markc5593]

Great video, thanks.

[@kirkray6344]

Hi I grew up in the ct. panhandle but also lived around the wilimantic area. Did I hear once Pratt and Whitney and did u work there? Hard to believe there is still rural parts of the state.

[@daviddamico4288]

You should do a will it start video on the truck..that would be awesome…

[@divadyrdnal]

Should the “bigger” extra dump bed be on the Oshkosh instead of the older tiny one? Seems there has to be a center diff lock on that transfer case to get all the power to the back wheels. Could that dashboard “diff lock” be for the rear axle only since it’s a street truck? That’s for sharing the fun!

[@frontagulus]

No, it's an "inter"-axle diff lock, not an "intra"-axle diff lock. But, there could also be a back axle lock as well. Some trucks have both

[@tyhogue8316]

You need a wrecker setup for your Osh Kosh!

[@BulletmanDoom]

The effortless power of the Cummins

[@jimsmith9819]

the knob on top of the dash IS for the windshield wipers

[@toothandnailsawmill102]

Grandpa had some cool stuff

[@jeepindave5464]

100k special. Tow tug vs oshkosh

[@Shanetheplumber]

Nicely done

[@RingingResonance]

That old Oshkosh is badass.

[@carld3184]

Wondering why you didn't pull the axle half shafts? I have had good luck with getting old drum brakes to allow the wheels to turn while disk brakes were often seized solid.

[@michaelbarrett2346]

Great video, thanks

[@larrymccarty8453]

Love watching your projects, your work and the way you do it reminds me much of myself,lol. What about that TriMoto three -wheeler,I’d sure love to have that if you ever get ready to part with it. Keep up the good work and keep having fun cause when you’re having fun working I’m having fun watching.

[@LowBuckGarage]

That TriMoto is missing the engine, but shoot me an email to [e-mail] if you want more details.

[@christopherdwyer7570]

​@LowBuckGarage is that a state of Connecticut seal on the door? I see the mud flaps say new haven body.

[@3rdpig]

That Oshgosh is a real beast. I wonder how it would do in a tug of war with the tow tug?

[@SeanMacLennan]

The Oshkosh always makes me giggle. A huge truck... with a dump bed from a Ford Ranger.

[@wheressteve]

Moss and pine needles are Mother Nature's rust preventers.

[@fredcarlson5775]

What is the condition of the dump bed that fell off would it fit on the Oshkosh just thinking

[@jimsloan8549]

Great videos. What part of the country are you in? Good morning from Anchorage Alaska

[@davecarakasavage919]

Imagine what this guy could get done with eager ambitious helper lol I’d imagine he could easily get twice the amount done

[@bymarcatholictinkering]

Love that old truck
