  • I found a pretty rare truck these days, sitting in a pole barn in western Minnesota. It's a 1979 Dodge D100, step side, long box, 4 speed. Adventurer? Macho? Power Wagon? Lil Red? Palomino? Custom? I'm sure I'm missing a dozen. Anyhoo, it was supposedly a forest service truck, then went to the farms once retired. It's been sitting no less than 10 years, but I suspect it's been more than that. Watch me battle this old classic dodge, as I attempt to drive it home!
    *This video was filmed summer of 2020. The footage was on a damaged hard drive, and eventually partially recovered.

    24:14 -> Just another example of a really creative camera shot that sets your channel apart from others. Vice Grip Garage is a car channel first and foremost, but it’s so much more than that. You didn’t have to show this shot at all. A sandwich break between two silos on an old truck bed. It shows an appreciation for the simple things in life. There’s an honesty to the scenery. There’s hard work here, an old truck bed that’s made an honest living on a farm built by generations of hardworking people. But nobody discarded it. That tired old truck bed still remains home in 2023. Just like vehicles you save. They’re all stories. The people that used them, the time they’ve traveled, and the lessons they teach us - The lessons they teach the next generation. Keep up the honest hard work. We all love the channel and sometimes we all need to appreciate the simple things in life. Thanks for going the extra mile and showing us This is just one more example of that secret ingredient that makes VGG a special place 👍

    He taught me the old ways of troubleshooting which I have used now for almost 50 years got my automotive engineering degree because of Colin and my old man.
    It is refreshing to see the proper ways to investigate, troubleshoot and fix.
    I am here in Texas now for the last 20 years and you are my primary YT go to when I have free time.

    I just wanted to take a second to say thank you for making these fun videos. It’s been a tough week and I was feeling a bit worn out. This video popped up in my feed, and since Stepside Dodge trucks are my absolute favorite old truck, I gave it a watch.
    You had me smiling and laughing in no time, and the weight of the week was lifted.
    There is a bonus though, my 16 year old daughter sat down next to me, and before long, you had her rolling with laughter. “I ate a ladybug” had her really laughing. Thank you for not only lifting my spirits, but giving me a special moment with my daughter, who could care less about cars, but had a fun moment with her dad.

Somewhere in the late '60s or early '70s, Bendix bought them, which began a string of ownership changes thatvled to a lesser quality product. It was sacrilege to use anything but a Fram around here. Purolator was the other big name filter here, unless you opted for a Quaker State (really cheap).
