It wouldn’t start because you weren’t yelling, “Bring the thunder!”
that's true
A guy needs to yell that, before you dump some onions down her. Maybe not. _I don't know._
Vise Grip Garage has it going on. Derek's got it. You'll "Got it soon too".
Lmbo!!
Sounds like a sick dolphin when it cranks
Dylan: “I hear a noise”
Fuel pump : *fire*
It can be the heat of summer or the cold of winter. It doesn't matter if Dylan just crawled out from under a dirty old car or if he's been working in the garage all day. Hands down, Dylan has the best hair of any mechanic I've seen.
"Floor delete." Sounds like a guy's been having a few wobble pops with Derek. 😆
All he knows is what the seller told him 😂 “whatta ya mean that’s not an option?”
Ditto with the "Bluetooh" bed.
Junkyard Digs has been throwing around some Derekisms as of late, too.

I’ve said floor delete for years. Mentioned it about the floor pan in my Charger when I first got it back in 2018.
Nah he’s said floor delete for along time lol
first 30 minutes :dylan struggling with a car ,last 10 minutes :dylan struggling with a tree
Not surprised, the chain was to low down...
To pull it out from the root you gotta go low. But even some tractors have problems pulling a tree like that. They have a good root system. An the ground is a bit frozen too.
Good way to smoke a clutch
I'm a tree guy and it was hard to watch chainsaw for sure. I thought he was going to put a dinger in his new truck.
20 years difference between this 1979 and my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. Wish mine still had that old Chrysler Corp. Whine! I always liked that sound from many Moons ago. Who else is with me here?
slant 6!
Those old 318's are beasts
You could tell the type of car by the starter. Dodge had the whine gm had a low growl and ford was a quick spin but fairly quiet sounds of a car guy childhood
Yup. I had a 66 Belvedere 383, and my older brother had a Plymouth Trailduster 440. Can't forget that Mopar starter whine.
poop plop,poop poop,ploppity plop plop!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Be careful when you're trying to pull down trees with a chain and a truck. I knew a guy who was killed when he tried that and the chain snapped, came through the back window, struck him in the neck and almost chopped his head clean off.
holy crap never would've thought of that I mean could you use straps instead
Just don’t use trucks to pull stumps. You can barely pull a sapling out with any truck.
Dylan's dad is probably thinking...what the heck isthat kid doin
You know Derrick is at home going you need to use a big Tonya Harding on the carb while having some cold snacks. makes a feller feel like he has seen this before
Pro tip for pulling trees: Hook the chain about 4' up the trunk for some leverage.
I kept yelling at him, “ go high on that tree”!
Pro tip number 2, leave more slack in the chain so you can get some momentum up.
@@joeno215 yep. When I use my bronco to pull trees I use two chains for extra length to get a run on it.
Master class: dynamite 🧨
That makes sense how didn't he do that.
Hell I knew it was good when I saw the reverse lights worked😂😂
WatchJRGo gets a shop, JunkyardDigs gets a shop, now Dylan gets a shop. Let's get Dylan to 500K subscribers and then he can have some more money to build his shop.
I need a shop too lol , trying to have one built I also have a channel but not many subs yet but trying tho . It's very hard to get up there
Derek said Chrysler starters sound like a dying dolphin 🐬 🤣
Dunno what he's talking about,I like the sound of them
I do too!
When I saw this truck I thought “Man that looks just like the truck Derek from VGG just revived.” Then when you said you bought from him I smiled so big LOL
Same here 🤣 I was like why’s that so familiar then he said he got it from Derek I couldn’t help but smile lol
@@Zer0Fall3n lol and it’s also timely since Derek just released that video like a week ago and now this one a week later from Dylan
Yeah thought it looked familar! 😂
Well i'll be dipped!
Yeah, me too!
Glad to see she's gonna keep on trucking. And the valve train definitely sounds better now than when Derrick first got her going. Lol
Well if he doesn’t fix that fuel pump only thing that’s gonna be trucking is a fire engine
@@anthonymccoy8771 lol says @#Hatfields!!!
?
@@jeffreyfarewell7295 hatfields and mccoy's duhh
He's selling this
There's a trick to pulling out stumps. Run your chain over a large tire and to your bumper. It changes the angle of pull from horizontal to a pull up and out. There are videos on it out there, good luck!
Yes. I've seen this done works great.
The sound of your jacket zipper screeching across that fine fender patina makes a guy's beer have a tear drop fall in it.
Had a 72 with the 318, rusted out fenders drove it from Hutchinson Ks to Oxnard California in 1979. Best truck I ever owned. Carb linkage froze up (with actual ice) going into New Mexico, put some Heat in it, no further issues. Went through Flagstaff in a blizzard, I was the only truck around. The truck just handled it. 318's are so underrated..
Bluetooth bed and the removed floors option? thats a rare truck! :D
I thought that was standard equipment on an old Dodge.
Racing package
The exhaust coming up through the truck bed was an awesome effect.
I think it has fully went to his brain 🧠 🤔
i've never laughed so hard watching you try to pull that tree out, at one point i thought the rear end of the truck was gonna pull right off.
From the look of things you need to buy a tractor. No getting stuck and it pulls like crazy.
23:20 The grind em till you find em face 😂
Dylan: "We just drove half a mile, so I think she is worthy of road wor... *Stalls* " 😂
gotta threaten these old Mopars once in a while, they don't like please!
@@davelewandoski4292 On the flip side my grandpa had an 81 Custom Deluxe that would swarm on him every time he cussed it. He learned to talk nice to it no matter how often it pissed him off.
I love Dylans face when the throttle goes from off to ON
This guy is dedicated to bringing classics back to life!
You took me back to my childhood, listening to that starter in my dad's '77 D100 every winter morning while pouring gas into the carb trying to get him to work. I hated it when he filled the gas tank, I'd get car sick from the fumes of the behind the seat tank. Man I hated that truck.
Do ya think you could do a lightning round with all the old cars on the property?🤔 Cause that would be cool😎
Lovely to see the Dodge again and in the hands of a owner who will enjoy it. Shop plans are fantastic, wishing every success with the build. Best wishes and looking forward to seeing more updates
Just a little more than 40 years ago (early '80s) I had the piviledge of driving a very similar D100, non step-side, 3 speed clutch in a faded yellow dressing.
There was a specific way to cold start this cold blooded D100, I don't recall today how exactly to be assured of a first time crank start but I do remember most often you'd start rolling in second gear.
Only using the 'granny' 1st gear for a start on an incline.
This is an awesome truck for you to have on your property, so glad to see it is getting used and ran after such a long hiatus at slumberville.
For many years I drove a '79 D100 long bed swept-side, with a 225 Slant 6, and 3-on-the-tree. My dad ordered that truck brand new in 1979, with that engine and transmission. He had owned a number of those late 40's and early 50's Chevy and GMC trucks with roughly the same size motor and trannsmission, and he liked the way they drove. That Dodge was underpowered, but it had tremendous torque. I once towed a heavy trailer with it from Hastings, Nebraska to Flagstaff, Arizona. That Slant 6 had no problem towing the trailer. At 40 MPH. After my dad died I drove that truck all the way through college and law school. I was still driving it after I started my law practice. By then, though, it sat most of the time on the street in front of my house in Phoenix. One day, a friend told me his dad had suffered a stroke and needed a project to keep him busy. With no hesitation at all I sold my friend that Dodge for $50. For years afterward, every time I ran into that fellow, he would tell me how his dad got up every morning, had his coffee, and went out to the garage, where he spent the day tinkering with that old Dodge truck. I always thought, wherever my dad was at, he was smilimg.
You need to do a tractor revival so you have one for your property.
a tractor would be handy for moving vehicles around
They have a tractor
I think Dylan needs a chainsaw.
LOVE Kevin's (JYD) description of Mopar starter sound "sick dolphin". My forest service truck is much the same but F250.
I fell in Love with Mopar starters as A Lil kid. Grandpa had a 1984 New Yorker 5th avenue . 318 4bbl. It was a Cream Puff ...I traded it for an 87 iroc.... Should have kept the New Yorker.
@@bansheemania1692 Did my first highway drive in a 1972 Newport. 400 CI.; along with the troop of Dodge trucks my Pops owned.
I've had a 1979 Dodge Adventurer SE short fleetside sitting in a friend's field for about 13 years now. That wasn't the plan but with retirement only a year or two away, I plan to make it a project to while away the hours on. Nice to see you get your longbed up and running so quickly.
I can't wait to see your projects leveling up with a new shop to get things done.
Maybe a frame-off restoration with a nicely done paint job?
Keep up the Mopar magic!
The tree part was so stressful to watch lol.
“It’s ready for work!”
*Commence union break*
Its funny because its true!
Hey Dylan! Here's some winter driving tips from a Canadian 2wd pickup truck driver. First of course would be tires; althought I don't think your part of the world should necessitate dedicated snow tires, tire chains would have been the ticket for what you where doing. Number 2, weight in the bed over the axle, around 300 to 500 lbs (I put about 300lbs in my 1998 2wd Ranger) that way you get more pounds per square inch of contact patch, helping traction. Third, high wheel speed is your enemy; spinning tires melt the ice and snow and make your crappy tires even more slippery! I usually give it just enough gas to prevent the engine from stalling, giving the tire some time to bite in the ground and get traction. And last, for anyone who wants to daily a 2wd pickup yearly including proper snowy conditions, a LSD is the only way to go! Never again will I drive a 2wd open diff truck in the winter now that I've seen the difference! Looking forward to seeing more of this truck, cheers!!!
Throw ya some 3/4" plywood in that bed, fill it up with stovewood and you'll get a lot more pulling power out of it.
I know my 1981 Dodge ram rides like a couch. As long as there’s some weight in the bed
That is awesome you got to love these old trucks and I really dig the 8ft Stepside I had been looking for my 81 but decided to go for utility bed because they’re so hard to find. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this man
Dude, a 2WD in mud and ice with bald tires and a 50hP at best 318 the way it’s running lol.
Yah that's not enough you need 4-wheel drive to pull heavy things.
Dude that wasn't a small gas leak! I was so worried it was going to catch on fire. Lucky!
11:05 Nice!!
27:24 - That was just intense!
34:03 you what to go faster I can go faster!
Dylanmcool that was A pretty Impressive Video
Love this old truck.
DYLAN,
To help your slick tires in the mud, hang snow chains on them.
That's what old time loggers used to do.
You need to pull those trees down. Use a long chain or strap &
connect to the tree as high up as you can reach. this will
give you leverage. Then, Tug on the chain in easy short pulls of bumps.
The tree will come down little by little stump & all. Remember you have
to snap the roots.
!
OK I now MUST play " Jesus built my Hot Rod" by Ministry ( Redline/Whiteline version with the 440), after every one of Dylan's videos ( with total respect). Who's with me? Glad to see the truck in your hands!
Dylan being a good old Southern boy actually needs the wood for his still 🤣
Great video top.
My first truck was a 75 d100 custom that I loved to death. Seeing that ole girl roar to life really hit home. Can't wait to see what you do to her !
My best friend of decades had a 79 D100 4x4 with 3/4 ton suspension and 360, we had so much fun with that, and it handled the western South Dakota winters like a champ... Only issue was it needing an engine rebuild every 80-100K miles. He later picked up a 78 ext cab 4x4 with 318 and 4 speed, and that thing was a trash heap, was almost useless in the winter.
It might respond to "HELP ME UNDERSTAND!", and that new fuel makeithappener. What state have you landed in?
Love seeing your projects Dylan. I still haven’t forgotten to send you those pictures of our challengers the one is just sitting under a foot or two of snow 😂😂
Love how many revivals you manage to do. Keep saving em!
I love 318's. They may be little, but they're some tough engines and pretty well bulletproof. Pappy bought Dodge Charger new in '71 and drove it from West Tennessee to Louisville, KY actually trying to blow it up and couldn't do it. We kept it until 1984 and sold it 6 months before I got my driver's license...I was crushed and have wanted one ever since...with the 318 :)
I’m really enjoying your channel young man you put out some great content and it doesn’t hurt that your a fellow Tennesseean bravo!
Love VGG! These shows are awesome, love seeing everyone interacting!!
Nice to see a young man that likes old cars....
Not only that, but we just got 2-3 inches of snow. Love TN weather!
For what you want Henry to do you’re gonna need very aggressive mud grips and a posi trac in the differential that’s for sure. Have a Blessed One Sir.
Weird. I literally just got done watching derek's video
The CPR you did on the hood brought her back to regular sinus rhythm .
glad mother nature is keeping everyone honest this winter. its kinda funny to see struggle down south.
I'm laughing through the whole video because you 'talk' to 'em like I do...and give 'er a pat on the dashboard when she outdoes herself...hehe...
I'm with you. I do the same thing ☺️.
Next time, get the chain higher up on the tree, get some leverage on it.
From France !
Since the first episode on the Challenger, i cannot stop watching your videos...
Thanks for that Dylan ;)
So congrats on the up coming new shop...
"I hear a noise"
Which one?
This one would make a good resto series, given how rare the long flareside bed is...and how far gone it is. New clutch, new rockers/cab corners/floors, new bed, and restore the rest to original yellow Local Authority condition with a mechanical amber beacon on the roof. Just an idea 🙂 Love your vids, they brighten many a dull day. Thank you!
Got love those old dodge truck's nothing better I say
Can't wait to see progress on the shop!
hurtz to watch... lol.. "i didnt bring a chain saw" and the internet screams why!!???
Nice! He did sell it to you after all! Was hoping to see more of this tin grill step-side. 😁
They're great trucks!
Dodge Chrysler. Plymouth are my Favorite brands.
Cool truck. I enjoy the ride of long wheelbase. Thanks for braving the cold to make the video.
Glad to see she's doing great, watching for more, Keep up the great work
Try jumping on literally anything but a Dodge hood with out denting it.
My 73 Chevy k20 hood holds up just fine. I literally jump on it like a trampoline
That was a lot of work for 1 dead tree amongst all those other trees. Lol.
Chainsaw??
In Australia its mild summer all year round. I cant image working on a car in such bleak and cold conditions.
My dad bought a 1976 D100 brand new. It was originally a 318, 2bbl, 3 on the tree. The most cold blooded, cantankerous POS I ever had to deal with. In the snow, even with big lug winter tires, it was helpless. One wheel drive and all. The only Dodge truck that I have seen that will actually go good was a 4x4, 3/4 ton.
I'll trade you a utility bed for that step side bed lol so hard to find those long bed step sides
I would do pretty much anything to own a beautiful truck like that :/
Oh I don’t think you want to
@@mercury0214 I very much do old vehicles are my passion
So great to see you getting a shop and a connected living space. Looking forward to the progress.
Oh, that's a vine, not a tree.
Hilarious! Nothing could take out that tree...laughing out loud!...
Nice place. What does your Dad do for a living?

love these trucks , step side /short box , esp. the 318 4sp granny gear !
Can’t wait for the Shop !!! Stay Safe out There Dylan !!!
That would have been child's play for your tractor. Just sayin. lol
Yah a tractor is what he should buy instead.
Weld the dif and stick some mud tires on the back
Like these old dodge step sides! Good work......
I'm glad you're saving the long bed step side. I always thought that was a neat look for those trucks.
that was painful to watch.
Yes i agree the whole thing was painful , what the f is wrong with this kid
Don't watch
That transmission shifts as smoothly as Joe Biden getting a clear sentence out.
That bed has as many holes in it as Trump's election fraud case.
I love this truck & could listen to that gear-reduction starter crank all day long. Just a tune up & a carb rebuild are all it needs to run good as new now that the fuel pump has been replaced. I definitely want a 1977 Dodge D-200 4X4 since I like these old dodge trucks & was born in 1977. The last vehicle my dad owned before he died was a ironically a 1977 Dodge D-100 with an 8' bed, 318 2-bbl V-8 , & automatic transmission.
Little advice for winter driving, keep your front wheels strait, because when the wheels are turned the diffential wants to make one tire spin faster when trying to turn, also go with the lowest gear and keep it just off idle while feathering the brakes to help get going, the idea is to make your rear end function as a limited slip for a second where it will transfer power equally to both tires
Painful to watch
I have to strongly agree! So many times I was cringing
I'm laughing too hard to notice the pain.
GREAT video,loved it DYLAN!!!LOVE THE TRUCK!!!
First seen this over on Derek channel. Like the truck and the video, so I hop over to your channel. Man can not believe it. There was the truck. So glad you going to restore it, love these old trucks, my grandfather had one of these trucks back when I was a kid. A slant six D100. It was a ‘76 with three on the tree and manual everything. No power steering or power brakes. 😀
That’s cool new shop and living space! Good little dodge truck! Looks like a little work and she’ll be a great runner!
