Ray in Pa.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+RayinPa U.S.A. Hey, haven't heard from you for awhile Ray in Pa. Yeah..somebody pinch me. Heading out there right now to mow down a parking lot. We will post regular videos of our progress. Thank you for your continued support and Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@tysonp5866]

my Uncle who passed away had a farm in Tennessee and my Aunt still has his red and black 1961 5 ton Chevy that they bought new..All it has ever done was go back and fourth in town for feed and gravel.About 25 years ago I drove it into town for fertilizer. She just sits in a garage now.I wished I had a place for her she's still beautiful.. Loved your video and Bull Frog's my favorite too

[@richardkatz7572]

Rick and Jamie, you 2 are awesome.. If I wasn't so far away I would volunteer to help move trucks, can't ask for more fun then that...Always a good night when I see you guys have uploaded a video. Jamie, hope your feeling better soon.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+richard katz Well..the positive input we get from viewers like you is very helpful and motivating. We will try to post regular updates of our progress out at the new Classic Truck Ranch. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@85fisher]

thanks for the update rick.your place is really starting to shape up.and ole bullfrog is doing a fantastic job of helping .prayers and healing thoughts going out foryou and jammie.it's a long hard struggle getting a new place to move to,i had to do the same thing back in '95.it's very hard and stressful.ya'll are doing great at getting things together there.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+everett thornton we're doing the best we can. We don't know everything and there are a lot of different aspects to what we're doing that kind of force us to learn on the fly. I guess that's life though and that's how we learn. We have found that its hard work, but fun and rewarding. Thank you for your prayers and Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@ronaldrutledge1926]

I really like what you two do.Love your site.And the trucks are nice to see wish you two the best.On all you do fixing up the place you have and your doing a great job.God Bless

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

God Bless you as well. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@calgondave]

It's so cool that you rescued a dump truck and used it to haul tons of rock! May God bless you guys!

[@TheRedneckRailRoad]

You guys rock. Never miss a video. Prayers sent and God bless. Heal up soon Jamie.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+TheRedneckRailRoad Viewers who have input that is positive and encouraging Rock Too. God Bless You Also my Brother. -Rick

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

+Classic Truck Rescue what if I am launching my own Chanel it will be up in 2 weeks its a hunting fishing show

[@oldmikeemerson2411]

You guys are awesome! You work hard and are full filling your dream.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Mike Emerson You, and all of my viewers are awesome. You guys motivate and inspire me. Always feel like I have a whole team rooting for me when I'm out there trying to get a difficult job done. It helps..trust me on that one. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@kellyhansen6496]

Might be a good idea to weld up the cracks in that dump bed and then add that extra steel siding for added strength. Could always be done at a later time seeing as time is of the essence. Thanks for taking time out to keep us updated.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Kelly Hansen I totally agree with you on that. The repair I made to Bullfrog's bed was just intended to be a temporary fix so we can get our roads in. Seems to be holding up fine so far and we have actually already hauled about 10- loads of rock from the quarry to the property. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Progress. Always progress and that's what it takes. You'll get there. Liked seeing the new place and the road building. You brought back memories. I Drove a 59 International dump truck and went to quarries to load sand and stone for concrete companies. I hauled sand out of Dallenbach's which is now closed and stone out of Kingston Trap Rock which is now called Trap Rock. Thanks for the memories and keep up the good work.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+MostlymoparIH Glad we could bring back some good memories as we are making new ones. Didn't realize how hard Dump-truck driver's work until I started hauling rock. Really have to pay attention to what you are doing at all times. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' my friend. -Rick

[@joelmccoin9727]

Hi Rick and Jamie, The work just keeps on, but it looks like you got a handle on it, Big Project, but well worth it, When you think about it, maybe this is what all the bad times were about, because you both really are grateful for what you have and will have. I hope Jamie heals up quick, rick, a real trooper ya got there. All the best to you guys, Be real safe, stay well, enjoy each other, God Bless.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+joel mccoin Good to hear from you again Joel. Yeah...things are coming along nicely. Still can't believe the opportunity we have been given at times. Nothing compares to the gratification we get working out there....and yes, we are both grateful on a daily basis for what we are experiencing right now. Can't say we deserve it, but grateful regardless. God is Great. May He Bless you also Brother. Thanks again Fer Watchin' and thank you for your continued support and motivating words. Peace-Out, -Rick

[@glennbelldc1651]

I read all the comments, nice to see you have a lead on more trucks and a Detroit diesel for Homer.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Glenn Bell We'll see. I don't anticipate changing any engines or retrieving any trucks for at least a couple months. Thanks, -Rick

[@richrandom9279]

Another fine Glimpse of the Ranch Renovation!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Richard Sigo More coming my friend. The equipment is really making a huge difference. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@glennbelldc1651]

Hey there Rick and Jamie, I see bull frog is going strong on road building and Homer and Marge is helping Boomer 2 move around. I like the cab one boomer. Jamie Hope your ribs and back heal up soon. I am patiently waiting for the next video.God Bless my friends

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Glenn Bell I hope you like it better when Adam gets finished. He's stretching it about 20 inches and adding one or two more doors. You won't have to wait long for the video. I have plenty of footage and may put together a quick one tonight. I just got home from working out there. Its coming along nice, Just finished clearing the "Truck Corral". God Bless you also Glenn. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@vinnypowell4998]

[@myjet4life]

Cool video thanks for sharing, nice to see the old iron earning their keep. Look forward to the next vid, and the progress of the new property.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+myjet4life Trust me...I like seeing them earn their keep too. Kind of a gamble when I buy a truck that has been in the weeds for 12 to 20 years, and relying on it to get an important job done. They aren't letting me down though. Almost like they just wanted to go back to work.....Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@SteveReevesvlogs]

I like the updates as well. Hoping you guys have a smooth move to the new place.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Steve Reeves Thank you. We'll get it done. and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@Specrotors]

Thank God you have the dump truck to start laying the infrastructure down Rick, hope you can get the structure up before winter kicks in for you and Jamie to live in...But God is good!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Nigel Wankel Amen Brother. 1st Thessalonians 5:18 all the way. The shop won't be up before winter, but we will be moved on to the property and living in the Alfa 5th wheel I restored in one of my older videos. Putting up the new building will be my winter project and if all goes well, Classic Truck Rescue should be up and running again come Spring. God IS good. Thanks again Fer Watchin' Brother. -Rick

[@Specrotors]

Nice :) once you have a roof over your head bro...Bless!!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Nigel Wankel Yup, that'll work for now. The old 5th wheel always seems to be there when I come to a fork in life's road. God Bless you also Brother. -Rick

Good Ya'll got the Bull Frog Up & Running and working it Hauling the gravel for your roads on the New Property . I hope you get all the Trucks and everything else Moved in time. Don't forget the Chickens either, he-he. Nice Video too. again. = )

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Danny Walker Yup, pretty happy with the way the old Bullfrog is performing and Wouldn't think of forgetting the chickens, they are part of the Classic Truck Rescue family and a very good source of protein. I like eggs fer breakfast any day of the week.. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@azautoxr]

Excellent! The big ole bad boys are ready for work, and on it !!! Bullfrog haulin' the rock and Homer haulin' the trucks! HeDump and HeTows and a SheTshirt. That was funny, as well as the "old man!" Always lovin' the videos and wishing you guys all the best. 8^}

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+azautoxr Yeah..I figured it was well-worth spending a little time on Homer and Bullfrog, considering how much time they will save us. Jamie gets regular doses of "The Old Man", especially after a long day of hard work. Thank you for your continued support and Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@ddocspeck]

A few things to comment on tonight : 1 )Homer and Marge work very well together, and should do right nicely for you. 2 )Boomer " D " ( D for Diesel ) is looking really RAD with the cab mounted on .It should be real SWEET to see him complete. 3 ) I think you did very well for your first time spreading the crushed rock. I`m sure you will have the technique mastered soon.

[@johnjones5891]

Love your videos and the trucks!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+john jones well thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@Mr2000f150]

it's cool that that quarry is using such old loaders and honestly it looked like u were doing a pretty good job dumping with the old truck

[@soundsfromsaturdayevening7283]

your doing a hell of a job considering the situation you're in God bless

[@soundsfromsaturdayevening7283]

[@Mr2000f150]

No problem man and I love the videos and I hope u have fun getting the fire truck in the spring I'm in south Dakota so if u run into any issues with getting it if be willing to help out if needed

[@annavariumful]

You guys crack me up!! Love your vids!!

[@bigjohnson5619]

Cool where at in MN because i live in MN , and i hope the move go's great and that nobody get's hurt doing so. Take care and stay warm ... Wayne ; )

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+bigjohnson5619 My Firetruck (if that's what you are referring to) is in the Minneapolis area. I hope nobody gets hurt either....because we can't really afford injuries right now. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@VintageTexas59]

Good luck with the moving and everything included, not a easy task Rick. I keep my fingers crossed, take care.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+VintageTexas59 If it was easy...everyone would do it. Thank you Brother, and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@MrJesse1028]

that 4x4 would be a good Christmas present for her. just saying hehe great job you 2 :)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+snowman christenson I know, and I have thought about that too. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to pull that off. I spent a lot on that truck and it costs a lot of money to do what we are doing right now. We will see...Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@udizzy1969]

I would say you have a good bead on things brother, looks like road building is up next, Happy everything is working out, cheers my friend

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+udizzy1969 Thank you my friend. I will upload a video of our progress on the roads tonight. Cheers and Thanks Again Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@udizzy1969]

can't wait brother

[@jayhorton3725]

Love watching your videos !

[@AustenARW]

As always, nice footage Rick! Loved watching the loader fill up the dump truck. A 6.6 Duramax would be a pretty cool engine swap for the tow truck. ;-)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Austen Oh man, took the guy a very long time to fill the Bullfrog up with that first load. I actually had to speed the video up 300%...I think he had some misgivings about filling up a 60 year old dumper. After coming back for ten more loads, I've noticed he's showing 'Bully" a little more respect and filling it to the top now though. Definitely going diesel on Homer when we get a chance to work on it in the new shop. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@Gildedminer22]

As always awesome video man love the channel, really appreciate how you reply to all comments it gives a good viewer relationship, i admire what you and jamie do seems like a dream come true and you love the lord its just one great package you and i definitely share goals in life fixing old vehicles to their former glory just something about it is awesome, keep up the good work ,and im sure youll get moved to the new property no problem at all the lord will take care of you sincerely, Matt 16

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Gildedminer22 Hey..if people take the time to write you a message, it only seems like common decency to respond. Sometimes I reply to 60 or 70 messages a day between my email, the Classic Truck Rescue KZbin Channel and the Classsic Truck Rescue Facebook Page, but I do value the comments, tips and support that my viewers offer. I am pretty certain that the advice and tips I've received from my viewers have saved me more time than I invest into responding. Beyond that, it is the positive comments and encouragement I receive from people who take the time to watch my videos that motivates me to succeed and follow through on what I say I am going to do. I have no choice but to do the work I need to do because I feel like there are people counting on me....if that makes sense. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@Romans--bo7br]

Rick... love your videos and all that your doing, and I think it's great that you have a "mate" that is totally into the same things as yourself.... sure makes life "easier" when you both share the same interests and goals, together. Good loader operator on that 966 Cat..... nice and gentle on your truck while loading it.... "trickling" the material into it, instead of just dumping the whole thing in at once.... like many, do..... perhaps he respects and appreciates "older" trucks and their limitations... (???). Looks "like" your using "road base" for your road..... great material to use... packs nice and tight, especially with the rain you have out there. I noticed you have at least one (passenger side, couldn't tell if you have both chains or not) "spreader chain" on your tailgate..... for the material your spreading, I would have tightened up a little more, and given the chain less slack than you had there, so that it would have spread thinner & further. Your forward speed seemed ok.... just needed the gate to open a little less, considering the material your using. I left a comment yesterday, in regards to your video of the 1951, 900 series with the 6-71 "jimmy" under the hood, that you bought.... then sold to some lucky fellow from CA. You should be "flogged with a wet noodle" for That !! lol

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+2Stroke Diesel Power Thank you. Jamie really is an asset to my business and she's my very best friend. Love that Woman. Its fun to live your dreams when you share life with someone who has the same dreams and is motivated to work towards making them come true with hard work and determination. We finally have kind of learned the best settings for the tailgate chains while spreading the gravel. Its like anything else, practice makes perfect. It really has been amazing how much good advice I have received from my viewers. I've never done a lot of the things I am having to learn how to do right now. Its like I get to tap into a 4,000+ person-strong experience base and between four or five people on any subject, I get all the information I need to do it correctly. Absolutely valuable and extremely helpful. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@BrianDamaged23]

Over in the UK, dump/tipper trucks were commonly fitted with extra boards to increase capacity way back when. They were known as 'greedy boards' :)

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Brian Damaged well...I guess Bullfrog got greedy then. Because those are some big 'Greedy boards". Thank you, seriously. I love it when viewers share information like this. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@Chillituber]

Hope you get better Jamie; Stay on top of the horses, not under them. Good to see that your tow truck and dump truck are working. I caught the update on the MN Fire Truck. I was wondering how you were going to get that truck this year with the move happening. I'll be available in the spring to help with the fire truck.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Craig Hillegas Trust me, I'm looking forward to our trip out there to get the 58 GMC Fire Truck. We plan on doing it when the weather is nice and making it a vacation trip. Will definitely give you a heads-up before we come. Thank you Craig and Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@alexcoglan6312]

Love the new ranch

[@wgoldenny]

Install a chain to the rear dump gate to keep the gate from opening too much when laying down the gravel... Wes

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+wgoldenny It actually has the chains on the tailgate, but the slots they go into are a bit worn-out. I think I will need to install bigger chains to make that feature work. Thank you and Thanks Again Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@gregtice7479]

hey Rick ya also have Jamie to drive bullfrog to get the stuff for your roads .thats her baby ,she keeps them pretty for ya thats why she is cleaning them you fix em ,she cleans em tag team

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Greg Tice Having Jamie make runs to the Rock Quarry while I spread the gravel was the plan, but Her horse (Jet) mowed her down pretty hard and Bullfrog requires some serious strength to steer when he's loaded. I don't want to take a chance on her being hurt even worse right now, so I hired "Farmer John" To drive Bullfrog while I clear brush and spread gravel. Jamie's time is safer spent sitting down at the county offices getting our permits. She may make some quarry runs in a couple weeks if she's feeling better. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' Greg. -Rick

[@crosschristianfellowshiprt5916]

Ignore the naysayers, you can play if you want. I know you were getting your trucks ready to work, but, still, if you got them, you should play some. What's that saying? "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Cross Christian Fellowship Rt, 66 Amen my Friend. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@queenofyeay]

Great vid, Jamie is a peach for sure. I don't know what Bull Frog is rated to handle (though I saw 26,000 on the side of his bed) but when you loaded him did you only have one loader bucket in him? I don't know what condition his hydraulics are in obviously but sure seems to me he'd handle two buckets full no trouble and probably a third. I don't know, might not be worth the risk I guess, in case he can't handle it. He sure seems to be under loaded compared to the loads I've seen the 10 wheelers I have seen filled with gravel; some had gravel up close to their side boards (like the ones you put on).

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+MISTERComaToes I think the guys at the rock quarry were a bit concerned when we first rolled up in Bullfrog. I also felt like the old guy could handle more rock. I did notice as we kept rolling back in there they started putting more and more rock on. We have hauled in 30 loads now. I think you will see him running with some pretty large loads in the next couple videos. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@meanjoegreen4925]

Hello, you seem like a very down to earth people , I Luv the way them oldies run & work can't beat-em but on our 3 truck deal, i don't know if I could have handled it so nicely I probably be in jail or prison just cas he just didn't do you right unless he gave you back like half your money .lol

[@mariodinovo4400]

I collect old cement block machines from 1906 on up keep me in mind

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Mario Dinovo Keep you in mind for What?.....Do you want another cement block machine, or do you want to bring one out to the New Classic Truck Ranch and actually make some blocks? Thank you, and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@earnharvick]

Teach Bigfoot to drive and swing a hammer, and your got yourself another helper to get the Classic Truck Ranch up and going! Get well soon Jamie!

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Earnharvick The Molalla Bigfoot did put in an application to work for Classic Truck Rescue. Said all he wants for pay is room and board. I think we can work a deal. Jamie said to tell you 'Thank You". Thanks Again Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@barryedwards1336]

Rick just been going through all the CTR vids again, I love them, anyway on this one when you mention your theory on why people put the side wood boards on to protect the body from the loaders causing damage, well yes this is true it's one reason but maybe not the real reason, here in the UK we call them "Greedy Boards" so named because you can get that little bit extra load on board without it spilling over the side's, which you know will come in real handy for your new road building. One last thing I now understand why Jamie say's it her truck and you can have a lone of it now and again LOL, after all you asked her to go get it with big Steve, so in her mind it's her truck and it's a case of what's yours is mine and what's mine is my own (double LOL). Show Jamie the last bit to see if she agrees with my theory on her mindset, she truly is a "Truck Chick" by the way. Regards Barry

[@bigrick6470]

I'm needing some front end parts for a 630. Left fender, hood support and fronf hood/grille

[@bigrick6470]

Also the three piece rear window glass for the 57 630

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I can help you with parts...But Bully is not for [e-mail] for your parts.

[@pauljohansson7697]

Boomer is going to be one sick looking truck.

[@Drew6709]

Where is that quarry at? It kind of looks familiar but I can't think of where. Bullfrog looks and sounds great. And Homer too.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Drew6709 The rock quarry is in the Molalla, Oregon area. Pretty convenient, because it is only about 5-miles from our property. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@autofilmmaker]

I am looking forward to see the road in the making and I like your solution for the holes in the container of your truck, are you the only one who is going to get the gravel from the quarry or is your wife getting to ride the dump truck to? and how far do you need to drive to pick up the gravel? because i think you need to get a lot of loads to lay down the roads. And did you fill up the dump truck to the top? greetings from the netherlands

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Mike Weetikveel You are correct. We will be needing tons (literally) of gravel. Fortunately, they just reopened and old rock quarry that is under 5-miles from our new property. Yes, Jamie will be making runs to the gravel pit by herself in the Bullfrog. She really does drive that old truck like a pro. I just don't want her doing it right now because her ribs need to heal up from her close-encounter with her horse. We did not fill the dump truck completely up on the first load. I wanted to see how it did. We have now hauled about 10 loads and are having it filled completely to the top now. Its doing a fine job. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@allenthomas1738]

Hey rick..if someone tells you a trick on a carb..do you ignore that as well becuase someone else said it..see thats how we learn..if you dont do that everyday..well your backing up sir..no offence..but im sure to most of us out here..it sounds funny..that we have done it for 50yrs.and you choose still to say brush.hog..just sounds like youve never been there..i still love you guys...cowboy...

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

We call them Brush Hogs in Oregon. I just really don't think its a big deal. I am perfectly fine with you calling it whatever you want.

[@charlesdyer2376]

Whare are you guys gunna live after you get out of the chicken farm? got a camper or what? good luck with the move, ya gotta load the bullfrog with more stone, less trips. hope yer back gets better jamie.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Charles Dyer Check out our temporary home for this winter in the Alpha 5th wheel video I posted a while back. The guy at the rock quarry is starting to have a little more faith in the Bullfrog (After ten loads with no issues) and he has really started loading it like he means it. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@charlesdyer2376]

Classic Truck Rescue Sure wish i lived closer i yould sure come an give ya a helpin hand, GA is a little far .

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Charles Dyer Just being supportive and offering encouragement is all the help we need Brother. thank you, -Rick

I don't know if I missed it, but your new digs, are you going off the grid? I don't know if you ever watched the You-tube channel of " Wranglerstar " but, you should check them out. They live somewhere in Oregon.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Brandon Hall Good deal. Keep learning my friend. An education is the most powerful tool you will ever have. Good job and Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@slimjim119]

she should sell her truck and keep that one

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Jim Rowlings Don't go giving her any ideas Jim. We need "Gopher". I know it's a Ford, but it has helped Classic Truck Rescue immensely. Besides...I know a guy who can build her whatever she wants as soon as I get my new building up. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@slimjim119]

I like ford also better than any dodge truck I had them

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Are you in southern Oregon? I see some trucks around that you might be interested in and I'll send you an email if you want to keep an eye on them and see if the owners want to let them go. I like to look, but pretty much keep my focus on my own rig. One is enough for me.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Kevin Hornbuckle Yes, by all means do send info on any old trucks you find for sale to [e-mail] . I have a friend who sends me info on old trucks for sale several times a week. I have actually gone and bought three of the trucks he sent me info on. I am located in the Portland area, but Southern Oregon is definitely someplace we make regular trips to. We always appreciate any info people send us on trucks. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Will do. By the way, let me know if you are interested in a Detroit Diesel for your bullfrog dump truck.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Kevin Hornbuckle [e-mail] I'm interested. Thanks, -Rick

Hi. like watching all your video`s. I`m dutch, maybe I don`t understand all. so my question is: What is your goal?Greetings Bart

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+bart bossink our goal is to own our own piece of property which we can build to suit our needs. I have been putting together a collection of 1955-1959 Chevy and GMC work trucks for the past six-years and it is a hobby that requires space. We will be farming our land while I pursue my hobby and continue to offer support to fellow enthusiasts. We would like to have a small, private campground on the property to share with family and friends.. It is also important to us that we eventually be self-sufficient incase the need should arise for us to be able to fend for ourselves. Hope that makes sense and thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@bartbossink12]

Thank you for your answer. I`m sure you will succeed. I will follow you. Good luck.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+bart bossink Thank You, -Rick

Bull dog dump truck holes.......Smart solution! I wouldn't have figured it out on my own.👍

[@howdoyoulikethat5253]

At first I thought you guys were NUTS! 😵But now that I see how dedicated you are to your rigs, I admire you guys a whole lot more. As for me ? If I could, I'd probably haul in every Mack truck, I could get my hands on. My favorites indeed 🚛 ! GO FOR IT MAN ! 👏👌👍 P.S. Looking forward to more adventures. GOOD LUCK GUYS ! 👨‍❤️‍👨🙋😉

Chain the tail gate 6 or 8 inches to fix dumping problem

[@jonathanvanverdegem1157]

Ever plan to repaint and repair rust on Homer or the Bullfrog?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Jonathan VanVerdegem I do plan on fixing Homer and the Bullfrog up, but that will need to wait until I get the building up on the new property. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@jonathanvanverdegem1157]

Classic Truck Rescue They will look beautiful when they are fixed. It's also nice to see them both at work. Trucks like the bullfrog are very rare, and even more rare to see them at work. I noticed the quarry is a little unprepared for the trucks size, as the front end loader's bucket was too long and spilled gravel near the dump gate.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Jonathan VanVerdegem Hey, as long as they can fill it up with gravel, I don't care if they spill a ton doing it. Getting an early start today and trying to get ten loads in. Thanks again, -Rick

Do you have a upload schedule?

[@gbowne1]

Bigfoot is in Lewis Co. lol

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+gbowne1 Apparently you haven't heard of the Molalla Bigfoot. I'm sure you will find some definitive footage of Him if you look into it. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@gbowne1]

lol I'm sure there may be other big hairy dudes runnin around somewheres else.

[@bigrick6470]

Is this 550 dump truck available for sale?

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Absolutely not...ever. That's Bullfrog. He's Family.

[@shoominati23]

Some of those old truck with crashboxes are almost impossible to drive. I don't know how people managed to put up with them when driving really long distances

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+shoominati23 I think they just got used to them. That's what I had to do. I do understand what you're saying though. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@shoominati23]

Yea, we're spoilt with all the synchro manual gearboxes and overdrive automatics that have come out in the last 25 years. Not much more you can do but keep on keeping on when that's the only technology available to you at the time!

[@ddcraun]

If you really know your rig, you only use the clutch to get moving.....

[@wdempsey100]

I pick diesel for Homer if need be

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+wdempsey100 I think I'm going to have to agree with you on that my friend. -Rick

[@SkiZoom1]

+Classic Truck Rescue Nice job Guys !! Hope Jamie is back to 100 % soon !! I would help you guys for free if I was closer on my days off . I am a Haz-mat driver here in NY and work 4 days / 3 days off.. If you do a big block (Homer) do a newer 454 Vortex. It is more work but worth it .

[@BroncoBillyGarage]

whats the green truck next to Bullfrog at :42

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Tristan Baker The green truck sitting next to The Bullfrog by the garage is "Old Macdonald". He's a 59 GMC 1-ton that someone was going to part out. I bought ALL the parts and had him running and driving the day after I got it home. As a matter of fact, Farmer John drove it out to the new property yesterday. Thanks Again Fer Watchin' Tristan. -Rick

[@BroncoBillyGarage]

Classic Truck Rescue ur welcome cant wait for the next episode at the new property

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Tristan Baker I will upload it tonight.

[@BroncoBillyGarage]

Classic Truck Rescue sounds good

[@mariodinovo4400]

is the engine in that truck same as a car 327

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Mario Dinovo Bullfrog has an Oldsmobile engine and it is the engine it came with from the factory. Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@jessename7849]

Dumping gravel on the ground (especially on top soil) isn't building roads. Like seeing the classics get taken care of & not just left to rust away or het crushed.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Jesse, we had no experience building roads when we first started out. This is an old video. Since then, we have learned to put down underlayment first, then pit-rock, then 3-inch minus and finally the 3/4 minus. We have brought in over 240 loads of rock and our roads are as hard a concrete with no mushy spots, even when it rains for a month straight. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick

[@shoominati23]

I hope that girl found a new job.. Screw exploitative bosses I say. And the same to the ones you sign a lease with and they worm their way out of it before it is up because they've got someone in the woodwork that will pay them $30 more per week or whatever

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+shoominati23 That girl (Jamie) did find a new job. She is now working for Classic Truck Rescue and her services are valued and appreciated. Her days of shoveling chicken poo are over. As far as them taking over our lease, all they did was point us towards something far-greater that God had waiting for us. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but in the end, there will be no landlord telling us what to do on our dirt. Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick

[@wallyfronzaglio372]

You could have used a skid loader

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

I sure could have. When will you be dropping that off?

[@wallyfronzaglio372]

@@ClassicTruckRescue if I had one it would be on it's way I've used them at work and their great if you ever run across a decent bobcat or a cat cheap it would be great to have at the ranch

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

Yes it would.

WY THEY ARE ON THER WEN YOU PUT YOUR WOOD ON THER YOU WILL NOT OVER LOAD YOUR TRUCK

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+Roger Shellman Well. It seems to be working pretty well. We have already hauled in over a dozen loads of gravel. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin' -Rick

[@shoominati23]

If you find any Dodge D-100s let me know. I'm looking for a 60-65 with a v8 and auto. .. I'd rather buy a vehicle from you guys, rather than all the t@$ls out there who just want their ego stroked and expect you to pay them $1 per gram of rust. It's really past a joke sometimes.

[@ClassicTruckRescue]

+shoominati23 Classic Truck Rescue will look for and find you a truck sir. I totally get what you are saying. (1$ per gram of rust..too funny)..Thanks Fer Watchin, -Rick
