I have such a soft spot for old forgotten trucks. Something about an old work mule that needs just a little work to go back on the road. This 1975 Dodge D100 has been off the road for 29 years, and today we want to see if it’ll run and drive. Think it will? Stick around to find out!

I work with Dylan's father and I tell you he's one of the nicest, humble and walking encyclopedia on vehicles, people I know. I imagine this is like watching Troy when younger, if UA-cam was around. Great job!
Well said 👏 👌 👍 top job Dylan keep up the good work from James Dyson in the uk 🇬🇧 👍
Best person to get that pickup. If it was a dog it would be wagging its tail knowing that it has been rescued
I agree
Safety glasses while using disc grinder Dylan
Let him get a metal sliver in his eye and that'll learn him...
Heck, I wear 'em all the time and I still have had my share! Painful and a HUGE PITA to deal with - ER or ophthalmologist, dilation ointment, antibiotic goop, painful eye irritation, eye patch - plus the time and hassle to get there and deal with it. And that's just for a sliver. If anything bigger gets in there he could not only need surgery but could lose it.
Add Jack stands to the list of equipment you need to use
Thats what I was gonna comment! I had a grinder slip out of my hand while cutting exhaust and narrowly missed my scalp. Never again will I use a grinder without protection.
I was thinking the same thing. I know people who work/have worked in shops for a living that have had slivers in their eyes at least once. Some learned their lesson, some didn't and ended up with slivers in the eye multiple times.
also add hearing protection to the list. I have met people who refused to wear them, and some were deaf to the bone...
That wheel propbably rusted on because it was the one everyone peed on. I love seeing these vehicles run again after laying dormant for decades.
😂😂😂 I was thinking it was because that's where the water from the shed roof fell. 🤷♂️
People... or the family dogs? Perhaps... both! 😁
- Max Giganteum
I betcha it was peed on by people and dogs alike. 😂
I absolutely love slant 6 motors, I was actually more excited to see that over a V8 in this truck 😂
Me too
Me too ,although I would like to get my hands on one of the Australian hemi. straight 6's .@@nikonordman7624
Me three
Seems like there's alot of love here for the 'slant 6' which I wholeheartedly agree is, especially today with the cost of fuel where its at and going.
A fine engine for just tooling about, sans any serious heavy load in tow.
@@claztubeNot only that. The 225 slant 6 is known for being durable & reliable as well. As the old saying goes, “You can’t kill a Slant!”
I don't consider pressure washing the engine bay to ever be a waste of time because I don't want to get unnecessarily dirty or greasy or have to dig around in mouse poop and spiders. I also like to be able to see what I'm doing - but hey, to each his own. 🤷♂️👍
I really like how you have taken Brier him under your wing and are teaching him the ropes! It’s not only important for him to know about vehicles and mechanics, but you are teaching him a lot about life as well. Keep up the great work!
I had a 73 D100 long bed with slant 6 4 speed. Love those trucks
I can see parents telling their kids watching right now "He should always wear eye protection while power tooling rusty parts Billy".
First, EYE PROTECTION AND GRIND SHIELD. Second, I love this truck. Had a very rusty 79 d150 as my first truck. With the leaning tower of "power" under the hood this is a very rare survivor. I would leave the power train just as is. Fix the door and hood latch and take it to the local cruises and car shows. Oh, give the Cordoba its wheels back. That truck would look better with white wheels and dog dish hubcaps.
Thanks for the video it makes me miss my gas guzzling 79 D150 with a 360.
Great video Dylan but try wearing safety glasses or even sunglasses to help keep metal out of your eyes when grinding. It sucks getting metal in your eyes. It is nice to see a young man that can drive a three on the tree.
Positive on the safety glasses... NEGATIVE on the sunglasses! If flying debris hits plastic sunglasses, shattered plastic debris can end up in your eye which is actually worse than iron or steel as plastics will not break down in the eye nor can they be drawn out via magnetic pull which is a method of extraction used by surgeons that work on the eyes. The bottom line here is to use bona fide safety glasses and a full face shield at the minimum! An even smarter play is to go with a heavy leather jacket with full sleeves and full length, heavy leather gloves to protect the chest and arms as well. You are 110% correct on getting metal or anything else in your eye - even if you easily remove it and no real damage is done, it can still be painful and a royal hassle to deal with. Over my decades of experience, I've been fortunate to not get hit in the eyes (thank you eye protection!) but I have gotten the usual poof of dirt in the face a number of times which is bad enough. Speaking of eye protection, I have been nailed in the safety glasses by a bit or chunk of flying metal many times. I recognize the fact I could have lost my eyesight in both eyes long ago if I wasn't smart enough to gear up. I'll testify to the fact that they work and it is the fool that doesn't wear them. Best bet? Safety glasses AND the full face shield. I've got a nice scar to vouch for the shield. Best wishes!

Those old Slant 6 engines never cease to amaze me. Just a little fiddling with it and it fires right up. Gotta love em.
my 1973 Ford f100 Three on the tree was my favourite pickup of all the rides I've ever owned!
I had the problem with a rusted on wheel as well. I used a 4" x4" and a bottle jack between the wheels. Just cut the wood to the right length, remove the lug nuts from the stuck wheel and let the jack do the work. Cheap and effective and no swinging a hammer!
23:43
"That Was Much Easier Than I Anticipated "
I personally love it when and project vehicle fires up that easily, especially since that hardly ever happens
Like it was shut off yesterday
@dextermorgan4337 Yeah, exactly
I hate it. Last time I had that "well, that went better than expected" feeling, I was changing the clutch in a Rover 45 (mid 90s civic). Fought me coming apart. Went together like a dream. I kept asking myself why and what was I forgetting that made it so easy 😂😂😂
Two methods to get the rim off the hub. a 10 ton body jack kit that a panelbeater would use. Jack between the leaf spring mount on the other side to a block of wood on the inside edge of the rim. Use the 2 long extensions in the kit. Then pump er up! Or get the torch and warm up the rim. It cant stay stuck to the hub if its liquid. !LOL IR have been making quality tools and compressors for over a hundred years. They last. Good to see it running like new nearly.
Pretty sweet old truck! I had a friend many years ago who always said, "you can't kill a slant 6 engine". This old truck tends to prove that out. The three on the tree is just a bonus. You can get that working much smoother if you get the bushings in the linkage either lubed up or replaced. I would fix that door first though!
Great running truck, Dylan! That would make a cool truck to drive daily and fix up as needed just as it is!
Но жрет он, конечно, не мало. В современных реалиях накладно для бюджета его каждый день использовать
The Father Son.......Wow that is a COmpressor look was PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love those old dodge truck's
Spent a year of my life living near Arnold AFB. Wonderful people, much like you, Dylan. Thanks for the video!
1:04:05 long time fan here. your videos get more entertaining every time. love the general vibe with your father and Brier and the editing... music choices. makes a whole, cool package. kudos. Godbless.
I rarely comment. Thank you for posting this. My dad had a 79 D100 when I was a kid. I used to hate it at the time but I learned a lot on that truck. My dad is 80 and cant do a whole lot anymore. We watched this video together and had a great time.
I remember back in the late 70's, I worked for the Arkansas highway department, they bought I think 25 Dodge D100 for use , they had the 225, 3 speed on the column. Cheap trucks, pretty good and decent fuel mileage.
When you say decent does that mean over 10 mpg haha
@@stonecoldreznov2780
Around 14-15 MPG
That might just be the perfect truck. Those things were almost bomb proof. Leave it a slant six and three speed. Super cool find.
Long barrel air hammer you'll be glad you have it,, especially if you are doing suspension work and in my experience dvapc, and Ingersoll and rand is definitely what I would use and the high speed air drill will probably come in handy at times too,, and the farm and ran ir air compressor is a nice setup!!
You're gonna love that air compressor. I've had my big 80 gallon one for 15 years now. Money well spent 👍
The cleaning segment is relaxing and man that paint lookking good with the moss removed 49:30 @Dylan McCool
After cleanup, the primer spot on the driver door looks like Venom's face.😂 Not usually a fan of patina, but I like the look of this truck.
Dylan! Safety goggles at the minimum 😂😅 had me doing the safety squints for you
Love the video. I can't hear all the noises your hearing but i had a 79 power wagon long ago and it was making a noise, so i replaced the throw out bearing and still had the noise, turns out the trans was just low on fluid. Lessons learned . Keep up the great videos
Dylan, I appreciate the work you do. You do good work, very knowledgeable, very positive attitude and very clean cut. Stop being stupid. If you're going to use the death wheel, wear your glasses and hearing protection. You have no reason whatsoever to not use them. You're a role model, and have a lot of years left to have sight in both eyes and enjoy sleep without tinnitus. Eyes don't grow back and that ringing noise does not go away.
Good vid! I'm surprised you didn't take some heat to that rear rim.
Hello Dylan and Briar! Love the video of you learning to drive a column shifter. I learned @9or10yrs. Old. A field is always a good place to start. Your power! For steering and If there's Xtra horsepower, you still have to stop. A 1/3mile ahead of time
I had a slant six with only 65 pounds of compression, and it still ran! They were tough.
I miss the 3 on the tree! I learned to drive manual on one with our 1977 Plymouth Voyager van. The best part would be when you stop at an intersection and then try to start again and the shifter linkage would get stuck because of worn bushings and you’d have to go under the hood and pull on the linkage to pop it free again while cars behind you start honking and getting impatient. That was living.
Sweet love the revivals!
Dylan, one of the best things about your videos is the personalized music. This intro music stood out immediately to me. I'm SO tired of the generic UA-cam music accompaniment. It can't be that hard to secure some music rights for videos - I don't know why more people don't do it because it makes them so much more interesting and fun.
Most people don't include music because music can be so divisive... what some folks like, others do not. For content creators, one of the most common things you'll hear is to NOT put music into your video content. It isn't much different than bringing up unnecessary topics during normal discussion... those involving hot button topics such as religion, politics, abortion, etc-etc-etc. Express your own honest opinion and you may lose half your subscribers because they don't agree with your opinion. That shouldn't be the case but all too often it is. The rule of thumb is to stay close to whatever your content is supposed to be and lay off anything potentially controversial. Personally, I have no interest in knowing whatever social cause someone supports or whether or not they're a SJW in ANYTHING one way or the other. I watch any given video based on what I expect to see based on what the content is supposed to be. If a content creator insists on slipping in SJW crap then I'm gone, never to return, even if I agree with their opinion. If I wanted to support a cause, I'd go to a channel for that sort of thing. Getting back to music, I myself have ceased to watch more than a few channels due to obnoxious music on each video - I've even ditched a random or single suggested video 10-20 seconds into it due to obnoxious music or commentary. I'd rather hear nothing than noise! If the creator is lippy or otherwise mouthy, gets cutsey-wootsey, uses the word "Ferd" or "Furd" to describe a Ford or cannot use accurate terminology (undoubtedly trying to be cool) then I'm gone. At the end of the day, it's better to stick to the traditional content on your channel and avoid anything that will drive away viewers. There's a great big batch of MHO and I'm sticking to it. Now off the soapbox. Peace & good vibes!

I'm amazed that you went this long without the air compressor! Or is that an upgrade? A major upgrade!
Upgrade. I had one just way smaller.
In my time on this Earth there's a few things I can't live without. One is an air compressor and another one is a pressure washer.... 😂😂😂
Every time I watch a video of Dylan’s I always learn something new everyday
Love the Jazz Music At the beginning Dylan Very relaxing Nice Old Dodge D100 Pickem Up Truck 0:00 @Dylan McCool
I like ur helper he doesn’t say much 👍🏼 he’s not annoying at all
8:22 thats the wheel that got pissed on for 30 years when the old timer had to take a squirt lol
I liked that one eyed monster cyclops lookin image on your truck door! 😂Lol
Like how your sharing your knowledge with a young person!
I fell in love with that truck the moment I saw the thumbnail
A perfect Dylan mccool video, a roadsteration and a pressure wash, good job sir.
That rusty wheel stood no chance against @IngersollRandAir equipment! The air tools and compressor you picked out will definitely last a lifetime. We're here for you and your dad the next time you have a tough job to tackle!
I remember early-mid 90s, best friend had a 75 D100 with 360, we had so much fun with it. Started as full time 4WD, but they swapped 3/4 ton front axle with disc/rotors (came with front drums) and Warner hubs to unlock the front.
I had a good laugh at you melting the bushing out of the clutch and brake pedals. 😆
Can you tell Dylan loves this Truck?????????? Love the Zoomies back and forth on the main road!!!!
You have to do more to that Truck....Too cool not to!!!!
This truck cleaned up way better than I thought it would. That’ll be a great truck! I’m also jealous you have a Cordoba! At least I think you said that’s what you took the wheels and tires off of. I’d love to find a 78 Cordoba. My dad had one when I was little.
I’ve got a 1986 dodge d100 with a 225 slant six. I sent Dylan pictures of it awhile back when I was building the slant six they are bulletproof. Currently building a 318 for the truck now. The reason the slant six is so reliable is because it doesn’t make a lot of power. But boy are they fun
It was nice to meet you Dylan today at Ford-fest, along with Sleeper Dude and family. I’m digging’ the blues tune opening.
🤙🏼😎👍🏼
Love the Bible verse you chose for this video. Thank you for the reminder and the words of encouragement!
Great job men in getting that beautiful old American made truck back out on the road again. A friend and I rebuilt a slant six out of a 1967 Plymouth back in 1978 in high school shop mechanics. Good old KLCVI, Kirkland Lake, On. Canada.👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Love what you do!!! So glad I found this channel! I've been doing the same thing most of my life so it really hits home! I'm a ford guy myself but have a Mopar guy as my best friend so I have an appreciation for both! Old cars and trucks are getting hard to find around here. Last 10 years the scrap prices have wiped us out! Thanks for all you do!!🙂
Reminds of the stuff I drove when I was a teenager. Even the door opening especially during turns lol. We didn’t have power steering so really had to get on the wheel to reach out and close the door. Passenger side was a blast when it would open. Seen some farmers used old hog panel pins and hardware to keep them doors closed when driving. Thanks for showing this. Don’t change the truck it’s a legend. I would daily it. The ladies would love it.
Vary awesome job on getting the old dodge running again. Keep up the great work you guys.
Absolutely awesome meeting you today at Ford fest beautiful truck you had there
Love it Learned to drive in my grandfathers 1976 D100 3 on the tree. I drove it to Pensacola, FL. when in the Navy. Many trips to Marietta, Ga and back for the weekends. Miss that truck.
Great seeing you and chatting yesterday at Ford Fest! I hope one day we can work together on a project or something for our subscribers and friends in our community of amazing car folks! God Bless you my brother!❤
you should clip the "Ohhhh, Buddy" expression at 47:40 and use it randomly in other videos. Keep up the great work, your keepin me motivated to work on my ol trucks.
Another great watch Dylan, really appreciate the content! Regards from the UK.
I have a 1973 dodge d-100 that wouldn’t start for a year and I looked at the that box that you guys replaced and she fired up and ran perfectly I was amazed that that was the only thing stopping her from running
Im impressed its idiling so well after sitting for so long 21:24 @Dylan McCool
These trucks were exceptionally sturdy. The body seldom rots loose from the frame. The diffs DO however have a limit of around 200K. The slant & 318 are both long-lived. The wiring harness develops bad connections at the firewall. The pilot bearing needs checking in a clutch job. Good luck!
Cool opening Music!!! What a Awesome old truck!!!
HEYYY!! It's Dylan!! Always amazed at what you do. God Bless!
That's a good ol rig. Gotta have some clean black steelies with white lettering and poverty caps. Great episode!
Excellent video Dylan :) , Bryer :) fix up this 1975 Dodge D150 , new key ignition switch replacement, also transmission winding sound need new fluid , plus clutch plate too and bearing! Scrape sounds like Exhaust Pipe dragged on pavement too and do unverisal joints on drive shaft too plus also plus back brakes! Fuel tank and send unit plus lines too! Also change engine oil plus oil filter , Balis Restior too and rebuilt carb to plus PCV Valve on Valve cover air filter and engine belts also rad coolant to ! Plus power steering fluid too and differential fluid too ! You have fix drivers door also lights any electrical fix too and think truck last long time!
I was not surprised to see that slant fire up right away because I have messed with a bunch of them to know that they just want to run they may not be a big powerhouse but they will run no matter what condition it is outside or how long it's sat they all just fire up. I had them run with broken rods and a big window in the block and it would fire up and run like nothing was even wrong with it. They are tough reliable engines
You can always find a use for a pickup with a tow bumper that's in good shape.
I say keep the Leaning Tower of Power! Love those old workhorse Sixes.
Man!! I’ve gotta find me an old truck like that, that’s just a good old trooper!!
Slant 6s rule!!!!! You can't kill em. Love it
2 words, Safety Glasses! Protect yourself buddy!
The Leaning Tower of Power. Not powerfl, not flashy, but they'll run forever. It doesnt have enough power to hurt itself even if you try to abuse it. I love the '72-'93 Dodge trucks. What a sweet little rig!
Hey, love your videos, man! They are great! Congrats and thank you!
Good JOB Dylan and Briar!!!!!!
Great video and what a cool truck. I'm a fan of the pre 94 Dodge Trucks. I had a Ramcharger back in 80's and loved it. Hope to see more segments on this Dodge.
What an awesome old truck. I'll be honest and say that while I love a hopped up small block as much as the next guy, I love seeing old inline sixes fixed up and hot rodded even more because they get zero love usually. I'll never understand why honestly, because the old sixes are tough, cool, respond well to mods, and just drip cool and uniqueness when you see one in a sea of V8's. Great video man, love what you do. 🤘🇺🇸
Impressive will It Run, Dylan. Look forward to future vids on this truck. 💪👍😎
I’ve seen some comments that this might be an Air Force truck. I do not believe it is. USAF trucks were dark blue and there would be painted markings on the doors. That Arnold Air Force Base sticker is for personal vehicles to have access to the base.
Robin’s egg blue looks pretty good all cleaned up
I had a short bed with the 3speed on the floor. It had the 225 slant 6 like yours. I bought it for 200 dollars. I bought it with a prominent rod knock. The truck still ran amazingly well and I sold it for 400 as The Rod Knock Express.
The camper Shell is super cool love them old camper shells they always look good 2:10 @Dylan McCool
Congratulations Dylan on the tower of power starting. Think you have several projects going. So think it would be great to finish one or two. You’re a great mechanic no doubt. Thanks for sharing!
💯👍👊 Teaching Brair how to drive a 3 speed is a hoot. Need to fix that door.
Fix the door? What? That's the Easy Exit accessory option! 😜
Keep up the good work. Glad I got to meet you today at the Holly Ford Fest.
I love Slant 6 engines and this one seems pretty healthy. I love the truck too. Awesome video Dylan 😃👍
Awesome video 😊❤ love old trucks 🚒😊
Hey Dylan your doing a great job don’t let these busters break you down I’ve been in the classic/old school cars 15 yrs and I think you’ve got it made 😊
Nice one, luv these old trucks. I had a 79 Ford a few years back that I regret selling. Keep it up! Well, except for the goofy Ingersoll Rand commercial, could've done without that...🤣
Those slant-sixes are amazing! I had one in my '80 Volare' and that thing would run good and even better yet after you beat on 'em!
Great video and truck. Thanks for posting Dylan.
Dylan, you sold me on the slant six and three on a tree! Thank you for another awesome video!
Love those instrument bezels and dash layout
Those old Dodges were tough as nails!
That was a fantastic rescue! Great job and a great truck for the collection! Nice to see young briar having a go at the column shift too!
Lol you outbid me on this auction lol glad it went to good hands!!!!
