Update for anyone interested. 1 year ago today the van gave up its engine for my DeSoto. I made some progress but the past few months my health has taken a turn down. I have developed type 2 diabetes and a heart condition. Not sure when or if I will ever be able to get back to work on the car. Still very thankful to have met Kevin and Dalton and for all they did.
type 2 diabetes is completely reversible. depending on the heart condition, i'm suspecting atrial fibrillation, it too is treatable. if coronary disease, several methods to treat. best to you.
This was really a super hilarious video, but the humanitarian value of it far surpasses its abundance of great humor. BIG kudos to you and Kevin, Dalton!! I'm VERY PROUD of you guys!!!
40:31 - the synchronized "It was strong... TOO STRONG, THE VAN!" got me. Great job guys! Glad to see you doing good work for a vet in need. As Tony stated, I am sure he GREATLY appreciates your help on this. I would love to see a follow-up video where you help finish up some other things. DEFINITELY looking forward to seeing a follow-up to see his face once it gets up and running again!!!
The realtor trying to sell the house across the street had me rolling !!! You guys look like you just had a great time, and that’s what it’s all about.
I kinda want to be disappointed that the van was such an easy and fun revival, then you rip it apart, but I can’t 😂 I sincerely appreciate and thank you fine gentleman for going through so much trouble to help a veteran.
That was just awesome Dalton I was usually a bit sceptical about your collaborations with Kevin but this was just epic from you both, and what a great thing you did for Tony. I spent 10 years in the British Army as a heavy machinery mechanic down to Iraq and Afghanistan (lost my best friend in Afghanistan) and I still have the physical and mental scars from both of them. I love seeing the respect veterans get in the USA over here in the UK it seems in very short supply at times but perhaps that's the case everywhere. I very rarely mention my time in the forces but this was just awesome. Dalton and Kevin thank you! Proud member of the low buck club right here :)
I'm an American but thank you for your service. I will never understand the lack of pride for other countries military guys. As much as I hate our government I still have great love and respect for our military guys. They didn't always know about the BS our government was pulling behind their backs.
Guys, being a USMC veteran myself, you can't possibly be told enough how much we, the veteran community, appreciate what you did for a Brother of ours!! Even though Tony is a Air Force guy, we still appreciate it! 🤣🤣😇. You guys are AWESOME!!! Tony, you Sir, are a BRAVE MAN!!!
The VAN ❤️ She served her purpose, was a fun journey, great videos AND She's paying it forward. Totally enjoying all y'all's content. Subbed to both channels Fellaz👍🏻❤️🤍💙
I can just picture Kevin turning the corner very fast and dramatic, pulls up on you in the van. Rolls down the window, slightly tilts his sunglasses down to look over them and says "Mopar or no Car baby!" Then proceeds to hit the gas to try to do a burnout but the van stalls and won't start again... 😂😂😂
I think it is a great thing that you and Kevin stopped in Phoenix to help the Veteran do a engine improvement. My uncle was a Vietnam vet so I have a ton of respect for our veterans
I like Kevin running the realtors day. Also like how the firing order, cylinder numbers, and distributor rotation are blatantly cast into the intake manifold staring them in the face.
You two are to be commended! You both deserve a long-needed rest! "I drank my pillow".....for some reason that just cracked me up! The punchdrunk, sleep-deprived humor was hilarious! Thank you for helping Tony!
It was hard to watch ya'll trying to remove the clutch fan lol. There are special tools for this and even some tricks you can do with basic tools. Oh well. It was entertaining anyways 😂 That was an awesome thing you did for a deserving veteran! God bless you guys and him!
@PoleBarnGarage the fact that you got from Texas without really any issues. The great car in the sky must have blessed the engine if what was in it, made it to Arizona
I just wanted to say that I subscribed to your channel for 1. Content 2. Your dry humor 3. Bleeping out bad words and not using them yourself 4. That you helped a USAF Veteran as I am one myself !
This is awesome helping another fellow Veteran like myself. I would never luck into good guys like you to come help me with my wifes car. Thank you all for great video.
That's a hell of a working vacation you two got. Fantastic content; shame the intake didn't make it, but its clearly ready for it, that Desoto is itching to roll again.
You guys are really great for doing this for a disabled veteran. I am sure he would do it himself if he could. Its too bad you broke that old Orange Harbor Freight Reciprocating Saw. I have one like it and mine is over 10 years old and still works like a champ! The newer ones just don't look as tough. Mine even came with a new set of brushes. Maybe put the engine and transmission in the DeSoto! It would be "much more reliable" then. LOL
Such a fun journey. To know that "The Van" TM will live on, helping a Veteran bring his project back to life is exactly what 'car guy' culture is all about. Great video, always love the collabs.
Sir. We know these guys. They could really mess this engine swap up. But they are truly trying to help. We always give them that. Good Luck Sir. I hope life is better for you.
Good afternoon Gentleman. What a really Lovely Gesture to do for this Hero of yesteryear. What a Great team all pulling together to transfer this Awesome Engine into this Classic American Beauty. This Veteran needs a lot of Help, Support to finish off Restoring this Gorgeous vehicle. Well Done to You Incredible and Selfless Gentlemen. I Salute all of You.
7:56 we get to see a little Tappy-Tap action... great video! Can't wait to see the rest of this trip.. then later.... "how do you burn water?" lol... Classic Dalton...
By the way.... The van is a house now😂
A point I neglected to mention. The DEA is going to have their hands full once the Van ™️ begins manufacturing
@@PoleBarnGarage it'll be the most reliable and longest running meth lab ever😂
lol im sorry hwat?
would make a fair cicken coop rn in sbs yard.
But the Van was REALLY good.
Never seen this model not all rusted to death yet, lol.
Btw: Awesome Series
I was thinking put a hemi in it and make it a church van.
I miss "The Van" TM 😭😭
You should have kept the van and bought the motor Dalton was talking about in your video Kevin
Sleeperdude88 needs help with there 5.9 magnum swap
Hey man ya gotta Dodge them feelings! lol
But know that "The Van" TM lives on in spirit, in the deSoto!
May it rust in pieces 😢

Have you talked to the guys again? Perhaps they would do a part 2 and get it driveable
Have you talked to the guys again? Perhaps they would do a part 2 and get it driveable
@@ridgid859 I tried. No response. So I will just keep doing my best.
Kevin putting van parts on the curb in front of an open house has got to be one of my favorite things ever. HOAs quake in our presence.
You just gave this vet a gift that he may have never gotten to experience. Proud of you!
“I have been swinging motors in from trees my whole life” absolute poetry
Fantastic job guys! So great to see Tony’s neighbors volunteering too!!
They bit off a bit more than they expected and not with helping Tony.
When you guys cruising into California??
Let’s us know
I’m always down to lend a helping hand 🤘
Those guys are going to run with the ball for sure. Good people are everywhere , you just have to look around.
Nothing more entertaining than a group of guys working on an old car in the garage with all of the correct tools
@@jamess7681its a Dodge. The only tool required is a 20 lbs. Tanya Harding!!!
Let's all thank Tony for his service and his kind heart!
Thanks Tony!!!
AWESOME VIDEO DALTON AND KEVIN!! GLAD TO SEE YOU GUYS HELPING A VETERAN!!
Try to do what we can!
@@PoleBarnGarage please try and help sleeperdude88 with there 5.9 magnum swap
RIGHT ON HOSS TELL BARB I SAY HELO GOBBLES
@@7eisGOBLESS HOSS TONY IS A GOOD OLE BOY DONT MAKE EM LIEK THEY USE TO AMEN TELL HOM DONT LAYERDOWN ON THE CLIBBINS
This was really a super hilarious video, but the humanitarian value of it far surpasses its abundance of great humor. BIG kudos to you and Kevin, Dalton!! I'm VERY PROUD of you guys!!!
Thanks Dr. Lee! What we did ain't much, but it's somethin'
@@PoleBarnGarage Oh, I disagree....you could see it on Tony's face! You done good!
I found the sound of the mopar starter quite humorous 😅 That really added to it for me.
40:31 - the synchronized "It was strong... TOO STRONG, THE VAN!" got me. Great job guys! Glad to see you doing good work for a vet in need.

that will take money and at least another year, but I am getting there. Could not have done this on my own!
There are preachers weeping across the country as you cut a part that church van😂
Not, a chance. It, served its pupose.🙂
The realtor trying to sell the house across the street had me rolling !!! You guys look like you just had a great time, and that’s what it’s all about.
Don’t feel bad about the van.. the engine is the heart and soul of a vehicle. The body is just the wrapper. The van lives on
A guy just hit the lottery a 2 hour VGG and almost an hour of you and Diggs helping out a disabled hero going to have a great night
I kinda want to be disappointed that the van was such an easy and fun revival, then you rip it apart, but I can’t 😂 I sincerely appreciate and thank you fine gentleman for going through so much trouble to help a veteran.

Thanks for watching and enjoying! Truth be told I'm happy to help anyone who deserves it
Very kind what you two me done for that vet

As much as I hate our government I still have great love and respect for our military guys. They didn't always know about the BS our government was pulling behind their backs.
No @itsdinger thank you for your service
Kevins pillow in a can is something you could market.Its multi purpose.When you wake up from a nap you drink it.
God bless you both. For helping a U.S . Air Force Veteran.
“How do you burn water” might be one of the funniest things I have heard in a while.
This has got to be the best "Garage Squad" episode I have ever seen!
Veterans ere the friends you def want to be around Dalton!! They actually help when you need it.
as a van lover this was hard to watch, but what you did for this guy is absolutely fantastic.
The two neighbor guys need their own channel. You guy's did a damn good job for that disabled veteran.
Dalton and Kevin great job... You both just made SUPER HERO status... Never disapoint...
Guys, being a USMC veteran myself, you can't possibly be told enough how much we, the veteran community, appreciate what you did for a Brother of ours!! Even though Tony is a Air Force guy, we still appreciate it! 🤣🤣😇. You guys are AWESOME!!! Tony, you Sir, are a BRAVE MAN!!!
Watching you guys work together is always a ball. As a vet myself it was heartwarming to see you guys help another Veteran out.
My dad had his knee replaced and he still refuses to let me help him that man is my motivation.
Awesome thing you guys did, very thoughtful! Thank you Tony for your service!
Tony is a very deserving guy
How did I miss this JEM!!! Thank you UA-cam for finally letting me know it exists. Pure gold.
Great video. Great cause and two really great guys donating your time, energy and talent to help this fellow Air Force Vet out.
Try to do what we can! World is a not so nice place these days
Nice gesture to a decent bloke down on his luck…good man.
You'll are killing it (and yourselves) Awesome job.
Thanks! I think
You're killin' it, man! Beyond happy for you!
Thanks Jen! What an adventure!
Kevin and dalton you guys are heroes thanks for helping a veteran out ❤️👍i have great respect for you guys 👍👍👍👍 and the “VAN” lives on 👍👍
You two are absolute magic together
The van was a trooper. You guys are absolutely awesome for helping a veteran out. Great video as usual
Congrats on 100k!!!!! You deserve it!
Thanks y’all for helpin out the vets 😊
The VAN ❤️ She served her purpose, was a fun journey, great videos AND She's paying it forward. Totally enjoying all y'all's content. Subbed to both channels Fellaz👍🏻❤️🤍💙
The collabs with Kevin are getting better and better!! What you guys did for Tony is beyond words!!! PBG!!!!! JYD!!!!
Proud of you guys for helping this vet
Thank you to you both for helping a Veteran. Awesome video.

Very nice gesture for you guys to help out a vet. Love to see a follow up video on this car. Cool ride !
Also I'm very happy y'all helped a disabled vet just cuz you had the ability to! More people should follow your example!
I think it is a great thing that you and Kevin stopped in Phoenix to help the Veteran do a engine improvement. My uncle was a Vietnam vet so I have a ton of respect for our veterans

after watching the van episode and this one , you 2 just seem to have so much fun together!
Great job from everyone involved
It was hard to watch ya'll trying to remove the clutch fan lol. There are special tools for this and even some tricks you can do with basic tools. Oh well. It was entertaining anyways 😂 That was an awesome thing you did for a deserving veteran! God bless you guys and him!
I can't believe the amount of sludge in this engines cooling system. Great job guys!
You'll be even more shocked when you see how good the van was
@PoleBarnGarage the fact that you got from Texas without really any issues. The great car in the sky must have blessed the engine if what was in it, made it to Arizona
That light blue paint looks great on that engine
You guys are awesome for helping this man enjoy his car again great job
What a nice guy. I'm so happy for him.
Very cool thing you guys did! Im surrounded by vets & in our neighborhood, we love them and support them in any way we can....well done guys
Love it when you and Kevin get together it such fun and laughter 😃 looking forward to the jaaagggg
Absolutely agree with Tony, watching Dalton work is like watching myself work haha
Oh my goodness Tony is humble, he is truly a good man.
Great episode. You guys really did that vet a solid. Want to say he has great neighbors as well those guys stepped right up. 😊
I just wanted to say that I subscribed to your channel for 1. Content 2. Your dry humor 3. Bleeping out bad words and not using them yourself 4. That you helped a USAF Veteran as I am one myself !
Now that was a fantastic show. Well done both of you 🇬🇧👍🏻
This is awesome helping another fellow Veteran like myself. I would never luck into good guys like you to come help me with my wifes car. Thank you all for great video.
Yessss! I've been waiting for this to come out! You rock Dalton!
Thanks man!
YOU AND THE NEIGHBOR GUYS ARE GREAT
That's a hell of a working vacation you two got.
Fantastic content; shame the intake didn't make it, but its clearly ready for it, that Desoto is itching to roll again.
Bro you're one of the funniest guys on UA-cam 😂😂😂
You guys are really great for doing this for a disabled veteran. I am sure he would do it himself if he could. Its too bad you broke that old Orange Harbor Freight Reciprocating Saw. I have one like it and mine is over 10 years old and still works like a champ! The newer ones just don't look as tough. Mine even came with a new set of brushes. Maybe put the engine and transmission in the DeSoto! It would be "much more reliable" then. LOL
I had an angle grinder burn up. It was Dewalt or Black and Decker forever after that!
Glad you guys are looking out for our veterans! What a fantastic adventure.
Thanks for supporting our veterans!
You guys are a great team.The neighbors helping was awesome.
So awesome! You guys are great.
Thanks so much!
Go on the VAN, what an epic adventure 🤙🏻, loved watching every minute of it. Great work guys 💪🏻
Just subscribed to this channel and I’m enjoying it, love the comedy aspect 😅 keep up the good work guys
Welcome aboard!
Well thank you all the way from Canada!
Tony, thank you for your service. Your DeSoto is gonna rock! RIP, van!
Awesome video, as a mopar guy you did make me cry a little. Lol. Just because we are different, doesn't make us bad. 🤣
It's ok to be different if it makes sense 😂
@@PoleBarnGarage Well what fun is it if it makes sense?😂🙃
Lots of people showed up to help that's awesome engine pulling party 🥳 alright Dalton @Pole Barn Garage
Love this! You guys rock!
Such a fun journey. To know that "The Van" TM will live on, helping a Veteran bring his project back to life is exactly what 'car guy' culture is all about.
Great video, always love the collabs.
31:22, the spirit of the Van got to him and forgot a beep.
Gotta do a follow up on this! That car is gonna be too bad ass not to. Good on ya for helping him out.
The remark about Mopar motor mount bolts that are impossible to get to gave me flashbacks to last summer working on my '89 Dakota and I'm triggered 😭
It's Alive, Alive! The transplant of The Vans heart to the Desoto is nearly complete. 😊
Followed the whole story, starting at the new ranch. Then I watched JYD and now PBG. Great content for a good reason. Well done Men.
LIVER TRANSLATE! Dang, poor man. He's in my prayers
Sir. We know these guys. They could really mess this engine swap up. But they are truly trying to help. We always give them that. Good Luck Sir. I hope life is better for you.
I appreciate all that helped. That was a really good thing you
Guys did for that man. That’s what this country is all about! Thank you 🇺🇸

Awesome I enjoyed this build. Too bad the intake didnt show up. Would love to see a video of the intake install and the exhuast headers too.
Way to give back guys. That van will live on!
Great work guys. Thank you for helping your new Vet friend.
I'm so happy to find your guys' video. This is going to help me with my 1956 desoto.... thanks for Tony service.
Good thing you got the two guys to help out. Kudos to those guys, also.
It really spoke to me when Dalton espoused the wisdom from his grandad. Took me back to my youth.
As a Army Retiree I just wanted to say thanks for helping one of my brothers out with his project.
The only two channels that I audibly yell HELL YEAH!! whenever they upload a video. Polebarn and Junkyard digs.
7:56 we get to see a little Tappy-Tap action... great video! Can't wait to see the rest of this trip..
then later.... "how do you burn water?" lol... Classic Dalton...
This was an epic mini series. 3 of my favorite UA-cam channels overlaping. Awesome.
Awesome job guys. Gr8 seeing you team up
