    Hi guys! Another trip to the GCFCE to see what Agent 7678 has found this time! This ex-forestry 4x4 Dodge does not run at all... Will the cheapo amazon carb fix it? Is something else wrong? Let's find out!

      I'm actually green w/envy that Dan scored a good truck in that condition....swapping in the Cummins is a boss move. And I have no doubt that the Olds will appreciate all that work going into it. That's a cool cruiser.

      Hi Scott , looks like Dan scored another beaut truck . Surprised neither of you said that the truck was miiiint ! On a different topic , just watched Johnny Smith's channel the late brake show revive a Renault 5 Gordini turbo . Don't know if anyone else has recommended it to you . Thought it might be of interest to you . All the best . Twopoptone .

    That Truck is amazing, and so rare, the first year of the new style....the first thing I noticed was the dash having the 70's style air vents, but then seeing the back seat and door panels,....my mind was blown away and that doesn't happen much with old mopars.....I"VE NEVER seen one of these!!!

    What a great old truck. I've had all too many(but never enough) old Govt. Dodge pickups but never a Crewcab. An interesting thing I just learned after being surrounded by Mopars and Dodge trucks in particular since the 60s is that when they gave the D-series trucks the facelift in '81 where they replaced the Tin Grill and round headlights that God designed them with and squared off the sheetmetal, they didn't give the Clubcab and Crewcab the new roof with the sharper edge at the back and sides. I was looking at a Diesel '91 Clubcab Dually recently and asked the owner why they had to swap the cab be ause I saw it had the pre-81 round roof. He assured me it had never had the cab swapped and just as I was about to drop my VAST knowledge of everything Mopar on him I actually listened to that little voice in my brain and decided to keep my pie hole closed and do a little research before I said something dumb. Sure enough, only the regular cab got the updated roof.
    So, the moral of the story is, It's easy to learn when,
    A, you don't assume you know everything, and
    3, you don't know much to begin with

    Scott, A friend of mine in Seattle bought a US forest-service-green Dodge panel truck at a government surplus auction and drove it for at least 20 years! Dan's crew cab looks to be in about the same shape. Those trucks never saw many long distance runs or much over 40-50 MPH. I guess a diesel is a good swap but those 318s or slant 6s never quit! Gotta love the prices on those Chinese knockoffs and it worked! Cool run and drive! Looking forward to Sat! Cheers!

    Last time I saw a mechanic sit on the inner fender like that was when a small Chileno mechanic helped me replacing some parts on my Chevy sixbanger. That is why I LOVE old iron and I hate new stuff. I could not have passed on this one neighter. A great and basic vehicle. What is not there cannot be broken.
    Some idiots always complain how high the gas consumtion is with those old heavy duty vehicles. They prefer to spend money on enormous maintanance costs and do not even see that they loose thousands of $ as the value of their nearly new vehicles falls towards zero in record time.

I get asked about the color all the time people seem to really like it, especially women. I must say it is a happy color. I love the truck.

    Interesting seeing newer cars (as from the 1980's onwards) being restored on this channel, I imagine that it would in many ways be easier than with cars from the 1970's and before. At any rate congratulations with getting this Dodge pickup to run again, I love the pastel turquoise colour it's painted in and look forward to seeing it being restored further.

    That color is pastel green. Very common color with state and federal forestry departments. That color is used by the East Bay Regional Parks district. Where did this truck come from? You should try going to fuel injection.

    I enjoyed this episode. Glad you were able to get it started. Still a fan of the Oldsmobile!

    Great truck and an excellent addition to Dan’s fleet. To get rid of the vacuum leak he’ll want to get a square bore to spread bore adapter. When I saw the carb go on without it and a big vacuum leak resulting I knew why. As it’s only for yard drives for now it’s fine
