      I do, too, around where he is always mentioning, but man sometimes the guys pull it out of the woods and ask for $300 and sometimes they ask for $3000. No telling either unless you put in the effort to find them yourself, but sometimes it's justified. But come on, there was some on Studebaker truck, it had to be a limited later model run, but it had 3 different trucks piecing it together and he wanted $2500 for rust holes on every part and panel. On the other hand a Facebook marketplace ad with no price listing, someone wanted TWO international scouts of the same year in rough shape gone off their property for less than a grand. It's definitely something I wish I had more knowhow and funds for.

    My friend resurrected a WW2 Jeep, it was caked in bog dead plant material, which preserved it. Like yourself he had real knack for fixing old machinery. His Jeep was from '41 or '43, he unburied it and got it running in 1970 and proceeded to use for another 30 years. It had a PTO transmission hook-up at the rear, which he used to run other farm equipment. He loved studying the various JEEP models that were issued during WW2. His specialty was finding equipment buried in bogs. Farmers would reward him with the machines, he dragged out of their bogs. His best find, was a 1919 CASE Dozer, which also was preserved by the bog material. It was a hand crank engine. He got it running and used it often from the 1970s to 1990s.

    I had a 1964 Willys Kaiser pickup that I had a lot of fun with. It was converted to Chevy power when I bought it and had a 307 small block that burned a quart of oil a day. I swapped it for a 250 straight six and drove it for several years. It looked pretty cool but the body style of that '51 is the best. Great video!

Fun fact is, it was yellow with powder blue fenders, a tubular rack on the box and, one single spotlight on the roof. I wish I could get one, as for a reminder, how a 6 years old, had a ball driving it. Thanks for sharing. EDIT: Does it have a push button on the dashboard, to start it ?

Still turns over, no water in the oil, just a splash of water in one cylinder. So I got Marvel and Deep Creep in the cylinders now, to break up any surface rust and maybe unstick the rings. After it sits a while, I'll hit the starter and blast all the Marvel outa the cylinders, check the ATF, hook up fuel, file the points, and try to start it!

    My cousin who lived near Unionville Mo. Had a big farm along with my Uncle up there in North Missouri.His family still has his 1952 Kaiser/Willy's Jeep Pick up. It has the Continental Hurricane Six and 4 Wheel Drive. It hasn't ran since the late 70s. But it's engine still turns because the engine is worn out. Another of his Jeeps was his 1/2 ton 4 Wheel Drive 1966 Gladiator pick up. It's still there and it runs and drives. Last time it washed was when he brought it new at AMC/ Jeep in St. Louis Mo. It was a light blue color. It's covered all the time with mud and dirt and yuck. It gets rained on and that's good enough. It has some bed and wheel well rot. But fairly solid other wise. He's passed on but his kid's (Cousins)still keep the Farm going. Like the videos and enjoy watch you get them running. A Question though. Ever get one running and on it's feet And it runs for a little bit. Then comes apart like a cheap watch and start slinging engine parts everywhere? I have had that happen to me more than once.
