Will it run and drive? 1950 Dodge truck parked in 1978! Excavator required!

[@OscarBaker-d2i]

I Love your determination and grit in staying with getting these older vehicles running again! Keep doing what you do. Love you. Thanks

[@markboyce1001]

Even though you did not have no light, you still got the truck running the first time, another excellent job

[@christinarust6957]

❤

[@josephdangelo1503]

I don't care what anybody says that's a beautiful old truck. Amazing that a flathead 6 actually had 99,000 mi on it, wow. You guys just keep doing what you're doing don't worry about what people say it's all about what you're doing right! 👍 Many blessings to y'all as always.

[@christinarust6957]

❤❤❤

[@whattherust]

Right on Joseph. Thank you.

[@howardkoster4026]

Richard, it's great to see something different being saved!! It's a Dodge that we do not see much any more!!!

[@KeithRutledge-t1w]

Hi Richard and Christina ! I have been waiting and waiting for this video ever since the teaser you put out ! And it was worth the wait ! Love the self tapper pole barn garage reference ! Lol lol lol. With apologies to Mopar fans , old Dodge parts can be a problem , only thing that may be worse would be IH parts. Stopping and going back to basics is always the Golden Rule when weird problems are giving you fits....So happy you put that advice in , it NEVER FAILS ! Fantastic Video ! Thank You !!

[@christinarust6957]

Thank you! We know Dalton so...😂 It seemed appropriate. Thanks for watching ❤ Glad it was worth the wait😊

[@somerandomguy3868]

What a gem, I've always been partial to the 50's Dodge trucks, great job

[@gerry-p9x]

[@gerry-p9x]

Get u shaped rapidstan for shelving and cut to span bed side. Yo side then bolt ply to it

[@ianhunt5303]

What a beautiful old truck, I have never seen one before (I am in the U.K.), if I had bought that and got it running I would definitely not be selling it !!

[@tomcooney1584]

What a great job you guys did on that truck. You know there is nothing else better than that the smell of the engine after it starts up what a great truck

[@christinarust6957]

So true! Thanks Tom❤

[@brianhayes7618]

Very cool find

[@floridarusticrepairs]

Pretty cool! Just the planning to get this old truck recovered is admirable.

[@johnmcdowell9059]

wow what a find richard and christina you are right there aint many of those aroundit looks like its in pretty decent shape congrats on finding that pickup worth restoring

[@christinarust6957]

Thanks John❤

[@richardgabel33]

Nicely done. Thanks for taking us along ! Would be nice to have direct link shown for questions. This one is to be sold...maybe post a ballpark number along with your list of known issues the new owner will need to address. Little pressure wash on your shop entry canopy would be nice. Really dirty ! See you both next week.

[@christinarust6957]

We thought about doing that but sided against it at the last minute. Appreciate you watching and commenting ❤

[@whattherust]

Right, that canopy is nasty. I was going to replace it until I saw how much they cost. Insane!

[@larrybailey43]

Sweet running engine now ! That’s Far Out !

[@richardcline1337]

At 14:09, I remember from far back in my youth they used those for rooms that did not have wall sockets. You took out the bulb, screwed it into the adapter, then screwed the whole thing back into the ceiling receptacle which was usually hanging down from the ceiling....L-O-N-G time ago!!!

[@christinarust6957]

Really😂 Thanks for sharing. We appreciate you watching ❤

[@MarkGerisch-k3w]

Had a '53 Dodge pickup, it was the same as this one you have. This was around 1980, and it was about the hardest starting truck I ever had. New points, condenser, cap, rotor, coil, carb rebuild, and still very stuborn to start. Hearing you guys cranking and cranking on the srarter sure brought back the memories.

[@whattherust]

Right on. When I used a 6 volt battery, this truck turned quite a bit. The 8 volt I used in this video solved that problem.

[@robhutson5451]

My wife and I truly appreciate your videos. You two make a wonderful couple. We are so amazed at the wonderful work you both do. Thank you both so much for sharing the adventures of your work. What an awesome inspiration you give to all who are watching. Please give Nova a hug for us.

[@whattherust]

Thank you very much for the nice comment. We will keep the good content coming!

[@jesterr7133]

Thanks for saving that Geo. They are getting pretty scarce, and it's nice to see that a few of them are getting preserved for the future. I am a sucker for the oddballs that no one else cares about.

[@richardbates2367]

Christina mam when I had mentioned that I was working on a early 94 Chevy Z71 Silverado extended cab short bed 350 sbc tbi and I found out that it has a 5206 dr side 350 55lh and a 5279 40-45lh fuel injector on the passenger side of the throttle body injector pod, and it would shoot 4ft flames out of the deep tone dual glass pack muffler exhaust and 3 1/2 inch stainless steel single wall angle cut heartthrob brand about 14 inch long exhaust tips and it sounded like a double barrel side by side shotgun.... Being fired simultaneously... Neighbor's hated that truck...

[@christinarust6957]

😂😂😂 That sounds cool, scary and annoying to dogs all at the same time! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@hendrickalexander4259]

Oh boy! I dropped everything to watch! One of my favorite rides!!

[@whattherust]

Love the enthusiasm! Thank you for the support.

[@rtcapo1382]

Ok, I lied-I stopped watching and went back to the original episode when you first worked on the Dodge in the shed. Great camera work Christina on the Dodge doing the drive by! Again-great truck, great story, awesome team! Keep up the good work-God Bless!

[@patrickbrown551]

The crazy recovery are the best. This channel is fun.

That old Dodge is really in good shape, and it sounds amazing! Another fun video! You have a really nice place there!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 🍸🍱👀😎. Sorry yard work was over do ! Readied a comments you guys keep doing what your doing . A mix of vehicles show case by is great ! Some folks miss the point muscle cars are great in their own way but 40’s 50’s 60’s other models were there too ! That does need TLC , but a lot less than building a muscle car today ! Keep up the good guys. Richard good to hear you doing well 🍸👀😎👍🍸👀😎👍

[@grantmelcher1830]

Great job!!!! Sounds much better!!

[@richardbates2367]

Didn't you do a revival on this 50 dodge early on the KZbin channel Richard sir... neat that you ended up with the dodge truck...

[@christinarust6957]

We did! We kept in touch with the owner over the last couple years for updates on the progress he'd made and well...there wasn't any. Happens all the time. Then he finally said he'd sell it to us! Guess he got tired of us asking😂 Thanks for watching we appreciate it 🙏

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

How much is it going to sell for?

[@HotrodTodd81]

Definitely looks like a relative of Pole Barn Garage had a hand in those floors😅

[@stevelangston2359]

Unique and original. Great job y’all!

[@BillBAILEY-gv1no]

Neat truck getting it running

[@gerry-p9x]

Add a GM 10si alternator and switch to 12v

That looks like red oxide primer, the original rust preventer! Great episode guys, keep that enthusiasm going!

[@rosendogarcia1146]

Another vehicle saved. Also you guys have an entertaining video. Awesome.👍

[@JohnSmith-w8u]

What a great video & visit, thanks!

[@junglejammer1]

Ah yes, the devil beating his wife during a sunny rain. My father used to say that. He was born in 1903, six months before the Wright brothers flew their plane at Kitty Hawk. My mother never liked the expression. LOL. Very nice job on the Dodge truck. The oldest Dodge I ever owned was a '61 Dodge Pheonix I had in high school. We called it, "The Boat." I drove it around while I was fixing up a '57 Ford Ranchero. I love watching you bringing these vehicles back to life.

[@whattherust]

I like those Dodge cars from 61. I had never heard that saying until this video. It is an odd one for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@richardbates2367]

This would be cool rat rod truck it's definitely got the patina for it or lack of existing paint rather lol, amazing the kind of shape that bed is still in considering it was probably pulled off in the early 70's and those 50's dodge truck cabs usually are not cheap..

[@johnd.1849]

Brought back a lot of memories. Dad had a 1950 Dodge. Had 600,000 miles on it before it lost a rod and rusted out.

[@whattherust]

Wow, 600,000! That is amazing for any vehicle, but an old flathead with the metallurgy technology available back then, it is incredible. Glad this video brought back some memories for you.

[@mikegonzales7234]

Great job!

[@Bandit-e3v]

Great truck! Bought a new Dodge truck in June of '97 and it's been my daily driver since. Keep up the great work.

Man, that truck is Awesome! Very nice job! I was stationed on Guam with the Air Force in the 90's, corrosion killed alot of cars and trucks, civilian and military vehicles, very important to know when to water it down.

you make it look so easy! I hope it finds a good owner.

[@whattherust]

Glad you liked it Julie. More coming.

[@dconoway9932]

GREATJOB U 2. I have a 51F3 and the engine looks the same I also seem to have a larger, in diameter, steering wheel which gives me a little more leverage for turning when parking etc. My wheel had lots of play I'm it and I discovered the steering box itself was loose where it connected to the frame so after tightening it there I lost a lot of that play. Of course you can also tighten up the play in the wheel by tightening the worm gear in the steering box itself. Very sturdy old reliable farm vehicle.

[@davida.p.9911]

Very cool! You don't see many old Dodge trucks being revived so this one is certainly unique. Especially of this vintage. Excellent work Richard and Christina!! Thanks for sharing!! 😎

[@whattherust]

Thanks David! We are hopeful this goes to a good home, where the uniqueness is appreciated.

[@francoisbouchard602]

A buddy of mine a couple of years ago decided he wanted a rat rod Mopar and settled in the 50's vehicles and ended up getting a 50 dodge wayfarer for almost $4,500

Nice truck loved truck's dearing those years love the old flat heads too great job Richard and Christina this was a awesome video thanks

[@MikeBevens]

This is one to start a daily driver restoration on. My day had a 56 years ago I enjoyed working on it with him. Sadly he sold it prior to completing it.

[@whattherust]

I agree. It could be a driver with just a little more work.

[@brianhayes7618]

Farm tags were cheaper than regular tags I think insurance was cheaper also

[@richardbates2367]

Seems like they were almost $25 cheaper per year... my momma usually fan farm plates on her 96 Ford f250 hd...

[@christinarust6957]

The cost showed as $10 per year on the registrations. To us that seemed like a lot in the 50's😂 Thanks for watching ❤

Great job on getting this one going. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jesterr7133]

With that truck being out of the sun for almost 50 years, it will deteriorate quickly if it is left in the sun. If you don't have somewhere to gargage it, definitely keep a tarp or something on it. This truck is in fantastic shape.

[@dannyfowler7055]

Great Job! I was born in 1950 so very cool. Just a question, is the blue Ford truck for sale?

[@whattherust]

Thanks Danny. I get asked about selling that blue Ford a lot, but for now I will hold onto it. I really like it.

Richard and Christina . I have seen plenty of your Cre-oil usage on your channel in 62 years have used all the snake oils and thought well, Richard and Christina use it and they don't appear to be people that wouldn't say something that wasn't true . I bought a can and used it on my 2003 Chevy Suburban to pull exhaust from factory header , and the product works just as demonstrated I was very happy no broken exhaust bolts , now that's a first .

How is your health l? That is the most important 1st of all. 2nd, for some reason, I have been watching your channel for a little over a year, and when I got on here just now, it said I wasn't subbed, so I clicked it again.

[@whattherust]

My health is good, thanks very much for asking. I have heard from some others that they have been unsubscribed. This is super-concerning, and is something I will raise with KZbin. Are you sure you were subscribed previously? Thank you for the support.

[@dlyall26]

@whattherust I raised that problem as well, I told them that a few of my personal life-long friends had subbed to my channel, and they themselves get mad at me, thinking I had booted them off and they don't allow a lot of views to be counted and other problems, I told them a lot of things that I had done as test goes to show that it is KZbin themselves removing the subs and the views. But anyway, watch that heat man keep plenty of water in your system. Love the content and, most of all, be good to Tennessee. My in-laws live there 😆 over in Rickman and Cookville area.
