  • True "barn find" well sitting in a field. This 1953 Dodge M37 Power Wagon was pushed out to a cow pasture back in 1989. Missing parts, engine stuck. Long before I had my You Tube channel I was still rescuing old vehicles. While digging through old photos and video clips I came across enough content to make a short video of this cool truck.

    I'm not a Dodge man, but they sure knew how to build them back in the day. Great rescue!

      It was a good truck. Just so slow, and under powered. No fun in the mountains

    My pops just told me a few stories of his fire department that had one of these when we had brush fires (actually quill weeds we are on the coast) back in his hey day. You gave him a chuckle...thanks Willy!!

    Great rescue 😊👍 My father had a 1943 Dodge WC 52 with the same engine 24 years ago. A great vehicle 😊

      @@flatbrokegarage My pleasure 😊 I would imagine it was a fun project 😊 Yes is not the fastest vehicle and with hills and mountains i believe it will going to take quite some time to get there.

      When I lived in Wisconsin, it was fun to bomb around in. But living where I do now (the Smoky mountains) you would have to be a braver man than me. Brakes on that, although new, were only slightly better than Fred Flintstones. 😆

      I brought it with me when we moved to Tennessee, but after driving it around here (the smoky mountains) I quickly discovered it had no GO for uphill, and the worst part was no WHOA for down hills. So I sold it shortly after to a flat lander 😆

    Cool truck! Glad you chose to video it. Hey including a four-door and a couple of two doors Ford Torino setting a salvage yard in your part of the country . The UA-cam channel is junk car Willie. If the link is not correct let me know. You were looking for a specific Hood and this yard is all Fords. ua-cam.com/video/78AsJ75OnoI/v-deo.html
