I want to clarify that cutting up is not the same as scrapping. If a scrapper bought this truck they would not have to cut anything. By cutting it up I would be able to find new homes for much of the truck and only have to scrap the frame. That is by far the most profitable option, and unless someone steps up to buy the whole truck, that is what will happen this spring.
No no no , these trucks need to wholly be saved totally 💯, the only thing that makes sense , is to put them like they are back on the road with up graded engines and motor home 10 or 8 lug donor parts on the oem frames, like I said earlier, only if they are 💯 % rust bucks , will it ever be the best idea to cut anything off or from these trucks loll, thanks please please please stop scraping/cutting up any part of ol trucks and cars ok, thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏 love ya brother, love you channel. Thanks BigAl.
I would be rally surprised if somebody didn't wan that whole truck, intact, for a complete restoration. That is truly amazing. You've hit on a bunch of great old vehicles lately, and a few that aren't so great, but this will probably wash off a lot better than it looks. I'm guessing the majority of that crud is from pigeons roosting overhead. Wear a respirator mask before you start pitching that animal nesting and waste out the doors! Great find, Silas.
Great barn find. Thank you for all the adventures we went on in 2021 , hope we go on a lot more in 2022. Have a good weekend. We are patiently waiting for the next adventure.
HI--SILAS,, GREAT CHEVY TRUCK!!! AND A GREAT FIND I AM GLAD IT IS GOING TO GREAT HOME .. THAT WAS FUNNY IT GOT DUSTED OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD BLOWING AWAY!!HA!!! THANKS I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT OUR GOLD MINE FINES YOU HAVE.. PEACE!!!
That old barn was built before hay was baled. You can tell by the loft door and the way the roof has the jut out. The metal rail that ran the length of the barn had a trolley with a grab that could be lowered into the loose hay and would close and a clump of hay would be pulled up to the rail and moved into the barn. That is why lots of times you find wooden blocks in barns with metal rollers so the ropes could be attached and have ropes to lift the metal clamp up and down. I have never seen one used but the metal beam they ran on are sometimes left in the roof of the loft. Lots of the trolleys and an occasional grab used to be in antique stores.
Yep what you say is true. I was an "orphan" in the Milton Hershey School class of 1973. (K through 12). We had 45 dairy farms. At that time we were transitioning from loose hay to bailed hay. Most of those barns had that same setup (loose hay). Some were bank barns and some had stone foundations. We provided the milk to the factory in town. (Hershey foods). Super clean milking operation. Got to keep that bacteria count down. Lots of hard work....no time for playing around. Safe clean student homes super supportive staff. Excellent education hot food my own clean bed my own new clothes. 50 years later I'm still grateful. So thanks for the memories. Happy New year to you and your crew. Front clip and cab I get it. Been doing the same all my life. Sell the good and recycle the scrap. Makes perfect sense and I don't hate the dreamers. If you know you know. And if you don't know oh well keep dreaming. For example I can get maybe $100 for a good Walnut pump organ from Victorian times. But I can gut it out and convert it into a desk, sell the stops.(little white handles with some words about music) and then give a shabby Chic paint job. 5 hours max and then sell it for a few hundred. Like you said nobody wants it one and a half ton maybe they would give $300 maybe. Clip and cab? I estimate Kansas or Texas price 12 to $1,500 for the two. Oh yeah and then sell the scrap for another 300. Your stuff is familiar to me and it's interesting. For my favorite aspect to your channel is your humility and decency. More valuable than gold and diamond. Thanks for your effort Silas. Your filming and editing they're getting better and better.
It's a Chevrolet AK Series. The range of uses for this series was actually quite large given that it was a versatile design. Aside from being built as flatbeds/dumpers like this one, they were also built as pickups, 2nd gen suburbans, cabovers, and even buses. You can tell the difference of a Chevrolet model from a GMC CC or EC Series by the design of the grill. The Chevrolets had verticle grill bars, while the GMCs had horizontal ones. The design is relatively simple, but this is still one of my favorite American truck models. Great video. I'm sure the truck will look even better when it is power washed and has the dents hammered out.
Neat find. It's a '41 with those park lights and a metal retainer on the rear window. Been driving my '46 1/2 ton since I found it in '85 so I know a tad about them and the differences between the years. Good on ya for getting it out.
That barn is huge !! Patina is awesome. I'm amazed at the cool stuff you find and glad you save some of those old artifacts. Im retired and would love to get lost in the mid West picking through these old farms. Keep up the great videos Silas, really enjoy them.
In the 1970’s my friend bought a 1941 Chevy dump truck for $75.00. We would use it to haul yard debris and brush. So I’m sure that truck you found is better kept together than taken apart. Thanks for showing it.
Beautiful old truck. We had a 47 Dodge grain truck on the farm in Maryland that I drove while Dad was cutting soybeans. Not full time farmers, just extra money in the late 70's.
That is a real cool truck!!!!! Can't wait to see what else there is hiding in the sheds!!!! It will be great if it stays in one piece. Time will tell!!!!
MMMM, the sweet sweet smell of Hantavirus! That truck has been setting almost as long as I have been alive, great find! Fill the cylinders with some ed's red and wait a week, I bet she comes loose. Hardcore Fab has resurrected worse! That poor ol thing has at least 3K of barn dirt on it! Still not sure which I like more, that MB, or the danger ranger!
I would love to see a video with you power washing that truck. So cool, I think that one is completely worth saving. This was another great video. Peace
As a young man in the 60s, I would work on various farms hauling hay etc., our school even had a recognized "cotton picking vacation" and that was the only times those old trucks left the barns. They had "farm tags" and were used until inspections made them impracticable to use and they weren't worth selling, so they just got parked. Driven many you had to find a solid place to rest your feet as you watched the open road through where the floor use to be.
Put vinegar in the spark plug holes and let it sit 24 hrs and it will spin free. Fallow up with trans fluid after getting vinegar removal to soak the rings. It will definitely spin free and run again. Great find
I realize this is old thread but sure hope someone bought that one intact to restore. As you opened the door I could almost see a hard working farmer climbing out of it after a long day work and never getting chance to go back in the next day.
Looks like a 41 1.5 ton, what a great truck and hopefully it won't be ripped apart for the cab, these are the trucks that built the country and deserve more respect than just being a parts doner for some S10 crap project
Silas do you see those 10 lug wheels , the 80 and 90 maybe newer motor homes have the 19.5 10 lug wheels , and they will for right on these ol trucks, I save all of the disc brake rear ends from all of those motor homes I have had, so please do not take any sized trucks apart, the only exception it totally rusted frame and unrepairable, ones ok , thanks brother, thanks BigAl California.
I've seen a few of those trucks completely restored or turned into beautiful hot rods that were at the yearly Frog Follies here in Evansville, Indiana. People from many states bring their customized hot rods of cars and trucks from the 30s, 40s, and 50s to the county 4H center to show off their street rods. Several trucks like this exact same truck were either restored or turned into rods. The potential for your barn find is such that I hope someone buys it to restore or to turn into a beautiful street rod.
Very cool barn find Silas. Definitely a keeper. Bet with some effort it would run and drive again. Glad it will live on on display so other's can appreciate it. Until next time.
Barn dirt, that's how they use to protect vehicles from rust back in the day. 😂🤣😉😉 "sarcasm" Silas hopefully 2022 treats you better than 2021. Thank you for the many wonderful videos.
Very cool...I cant wait to see your dad, I first saw your videos 2 days ago and watched 5 I think it is of this farm clean up and cant wait to dive into the rest of your adventures as you call them. Great content from Heartland America!
That's a nice hard to find old chevy! Please keep this one together, even the box someone will want that truck. I want it but I'm in northern bc so hauling that far just won't happen lol
You and Mr. Goodpliers have all the fun. Seems like the really cool kids live in Kansas! That's a nice truck. There's a company in Minnesota that makes kits to put the body of '40's and '50's Chevy trucks onto S-10 chassis' for modern highway use, safety, reliability, parts availability, etc.
Hi Silas great video like always and great barn find 😉 i wish you and your family a Happy New Year and a nice evening greetings from the Netherlands and stay safe Chiel
If it is a 1941 then yes there are differences. The most obvious one is that the ones made after WW2 started had cut off front fenders. I would have to look it up but it wouldn't surprise me if those year chevys are more uncommon as it seems like all I ever see are 1946's. When these were new they had 3 paint schemes: red, dark green or blue, all with black fenders. It may not be as popular as the cars and pickups but there are definitely people that collect the bigger trucks. Advertise in the right places.
I want to clarify that cutting up is not the same as scrapping. If a scrapper bought this truck they would not have to cut anything. By cutting it up I would be able to find new homes for much of the truck and only have to scrap the frame. That is by far the most profitable option, and unless someone steps up to buy the whole truck, that is what will happen this spring.
where do you advertise?
What do you want for it?
Can't it wait a little while for a buyer will surely come
I think the fenders are supposed to be black I tagged you in a post on a 46 located in Tennessee
No no no , these trucks need to wholly be saved totally 💯, the only thing that makes sense , is to put them like they are back on the road with up graded engines and motor home 10 or 8 lug donor parts on the oem frames, like I said earlier, only if they are 💯 % rust bucks , will it ever be the best idea to cut anything off or from these trucks loll, thanks please please please stop scraping/cutting up any part of ol trucks and cars ok, thanks BigAl California.praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏 love ya brother, love you channel.

Washing up that truck could be a pretty satisfying video. Love your content.

It would be interesting to pressure wash this truck. It might even shine again!
Great barn find. Thank you for all the adventures we went on in 2021 , hope we go on a lot more in 2022. Have a good weekend. We are patiently waiting for the next adventure.
Hello, Silas, That Truck is a beauty, She should be restored and kept it will only grow in value in time. Please consider it as money in the bank.
This Barn and the Truck ist a nice szene!
Please please please please don't cut this one up I'm a Ford guy no Chevy for me but that one needs saved
Great find Silas. Watching you and your crew come across old vintage vehicles is my favorite part of the farm clean ups.
Thank you for saving what you can.
Great truck to use in parades once it's restored. Imagine a group of beauty queens riding in the back waving at the crowds.
Thats a nice find ! Old Fords are like belly buttons, everybody has one. But an old Chevy like this is rare !
That old Chevy flat bed is sweet!
silas a nother great video thanks for all you do I'm hoping you find a T/A in barn
Hope someone buys the truck whole and fixes it up. Also hope you clean it up before it goes so we can see how good the truck condition really is.
Man O Man I’d love to find an old Chevrolet like that!!!
I like that truck also Patricia here
I think i would be wearing a mask in that barn. Great find. Stay safe and healthy.
HI--SILAS,, GREAT CHEVY TRUCK!!! AND A GREAT FIND I AM GLAD IT IS GOING TO GREAT HOME .. THAT WAS FUNNY IT GOT DUSTED OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD BLOWING AWAY!!HA!!! THANKS I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT OUR GOLD MINE FINES YOU HAVE.. PEACE!!!

Thank you! I like it.
It would be neat to see the truck cleaned and washed up. 👍🙂
Old '41 Chevy would make a great display for you. Put the sign in the bed! Big sign!
Neat find. It's a '41 with those park lights and a metal retainer on the rear window. Been driving my '46 1/2 ton since I found it in '85 so I know a tad about them and the differences between the years. Good on ya for getting it out.

A drone video of the barn would be cool,Who knows what is up in the corners
Agreed,the barn looks solid,great timbers from what can be seen
In the 1970’s my friend bought a 1941 Chevy dump truck for $75.00. We would use it to haul yard debris and brush. So I’m sure that truck you found is better kept together than taken apart. Thanks for showing it.
Its awesome that his tires are still mostly good
Looks like a 49 great find
Back after I subscribed I said something about that blue opel.... I do love them old things.
Super cool 😎 👌 👍 👏 😍 😊
if you were a little closer to Idaho i would be there tomorrow and would restore it just like it sits.
Beautiful old truck. We had a 47 Dodge grain truck on the farm in Maryland that I drove while Dad was cutting soybeans. Not full time farmers, just extra money in the late 70's.
Cool looking truck 🛻😎👍
Awesome find!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome find. That would be a great truck to make a modern day hauler out of. I can't believe no on has scooped it up. Wish you were closer to FL
Thanks for your video keep them coming.
Happy New Year
That is a real cool truck!!!!!
Can't wait to see what else there is hiding in the sheds!!!! It will be great if it stays in one piece. Time will tell!!!!
Very cool!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Think that's a 41 Chevrolet, hope someone buys the whole truck!!
Be safe & God Bless!!!
I would never part a truck this good out. It's a good runner worth alot more money that way and your not destroying the truck.
MMMM, the sweet sweet smell of Hantavirus! That truck has been setting almost as long as I have been alive, great find! Fill the cylinders with some ed's red and wait a week, I bet she comes loose. Hardcore Fab has resurrected worse! That poor ol thing has at least 3K of barn dirt on it! Still not sure which I like more, that MB, or the danger ranger!

I want to see it cleaned up. that would be a high view show!
Put vinegar in the spark plug holes and let it sit 24 hrs and it will spin free. Fallow up with trans fluid after getting vinegar removal to soak the rings. It will definitely spin free and run again. Great find
That truck is a prime candidate for restoration. Don't dare scrap it.
Great job
That would be a good truck to use in the horror movies. That grill is the type that they like.
At least the windows are up and is looking good clean it up and keep it
I realize this is old thread but sure hope someone bought that one intact to restore. As you opened the door I could almost see a hard working farmer climbing out of it after a long day work and never getting chance to go back in the next day.
Dude that thing is ancient but still all together and it rolled surprisingly well! Dinosaur barn find! 💯
The resto guys would love that mate .
Silus what a great find. Like a time capsule
I started to cough when you blew the dust out of the bed just like being there on the farm .thanks
Hay fellow car enthusiast love the channel love to come work with you because it involves messing with cars keep up the good work
I Hope that nice truck get a new home.i wish i had your job
Good Stuff, thanks
Nice find nice video thank you!
Looks like a 41 1.5 ton, what a great truck and hopefully it won't be ripped apart for the cab, these are the trucks that built the country and deserve more respect than just being a parts doner for some S10 crap project
I would not be surprised if someone wanted the whole truck!
That is one pretty truck. In a perfect world someone will buy it and fix it up.
What a great looking truck no wonder you are happy good on you keep it up What you do is great thanks mate Cameron from Kenilworth England
Silas do you see those 10 lug wheels , the 80 and 90 maybe newer motor homes have the 19.5 10 lug wheels , and they will for right on these ol trucks, I save all of the disc brake rear ends from all of those motor homes I have had, so please do not take any sized trucks apart, the only exception it totally rusted frame and unrepairable, ones ok , thanks brother, thanks BigAl California.

Great video silas, keep'um coming..
Love these farm clean up videos
And you still get back to your yard once in a while to process and crush cars
Very cool barn find Silas. Definitely a keeper. Bet with some effort it would run and drive again. Glad it will live on on display so other's can appreciate it. Until next time.
Barn dirt, that's how they use to protect vehicles from rust back in the day. 😂🤣😉😉 "sarcasm"
Silas hopefully 2022 treats you better than 2021. Thank you for the many wonderful videos.
wow Silas, I love that Chevy truck and I liked the 65 chevy you found there. Good work, I love your videos . Thanks for posting.
The whole thing is restorable! You're killing me with the wall hanger talk
.....YOU'RE killing me.......third grade grammar failure......
@@urbanurchin5930 thanks! I appreciate your grammar Nazi correction
Very cool...I cant wait to see your dad, I first saw your videos 2 days ago and watched 5 I think it is of this farm clean up and cant wait to dive into the rest of your adventures as you call them. Great content from Heartland America!
That '41 is a keeper and someone will see it and want it!! Happy New Year 2022, Silas!!
wow thats a killer truck !!
That truck would make a nice conversion to haul a persons “trailer queen” to car shows.
I would like to see more tours of your old cars please Silas.
'41 would have been among the last before most car/truck production stopped for the war effort.
Oh! I just watched the follow up!
Nice truck
I got news for you. Turds that size, not from a rat, unless that thing is the Godzilla of all rats! 🤣🤣
Correct, they are from a cow. But the cow didn’t put it in there 😆
I really would like that front bumper
I would love to have that old truck
I really really would like that front bumper and brackets.
Excellent find . a good bath and set in view on your property . love the look of that truck.
That would make one heck of a builder. Hey I’m looking for 02-05 cavaliers or sunfires. I will come get them and pay cash.
I would buy that one
That's a nice hard to find old chevy! Please keep this one together, even the box someone will want that truck. I want it but I'm in northern bc so hauling that far just won't happen lol

I hope you keep it and use this great old truck.
Keep the videos coming I enjoy them don't worry about the other clowns they like to hear there jaws rattle
