    Pablo feels the same way I do about that beauty Dodge - keep her stock in ALL her sameness. She looks just awesome! One of the best examples of 50's Dodge truck coolness. Fresh PTO, fresh brakes, accel pump, couple of patches, repurposed wood bed and you got yourself a heckuva useful town runner for errands and such. I give that cab a thumbs-up, for what its worth. Just another amazing grab that was unusually spared the typical northern rust attack. That flatty six purrs like a grateful kitten and she looks eager for a second chance at road life. Wins all over the place ! Cheers!!!

    Thanks Brent and Pablo. Really appreciate your content. More memory jogs for this old man. My first car was a 1956 Plymouth with a flat head 6 pulled from a barnyard, brought home and got running/driving. That was almost 60 years ago.

    • @Brock_Landers
      @Brock_Landers Рік тому +4

      Man, that's such an awesome story of your first ride. My first car was a 1990 Ford Festiva L with ice cold AC and that's it. I was 16, in 1999. I am 39 now and I am on my 69th vehicle since then. I've never owned anything cool that was domestic, almost all of my cars have been imports, but I grew up in that age. My first car would've been a 1960s Ford Galaxie 500 with a 352 FE and an auto that was garage kept its entire life, but the guy's widow got cold feet, and I didn't blame her because that was her husband's pride and joy. She didn't last much longer, but I sincerely hope that their kids got that car. She was going to sell it to me for $500 and my uncle had helped them throughout the years, and that's why she was willing to facilitate the offer, but I didn't deserve that beautiful car at that age, so it's just as well. Knowing me I would've done something stupid with it and ragged it out, so she was right for not wanting to sell it.

    Brent. Fun video. Thanks for sharing it. You have lots of skill to get these things running and make it look easy. Like you said..."the truck is too good to just scrap or part out for the grille" but I think using the dump truck cylinder in the NAPCO is a good plan. I'm surprised you never throw a fire extinguisher in when you take your first drives in your projects. I always have one on hand for a "first start" and first drive just for insurance. Enjoy seeing Pablo along on your rides. He's a big guy and maybe having some hip or back problems getting in and out of those tall trucks. We had a big Lab with hip problems and a kennel owner told us about Glucosamine Chondroitin. We picked up some tablets at the pet store and just threw 2-3 in his dog dish with his food every day. Seemed to help him a lot. Keep up the fun projects. Looking forward to seeing the NAPCO truck moved along.

    • @blainerudy2255
      @blainerudy2255 Рік тому

      I agree about Pablo.The bench seat was too high to get on, considering his size. It would have been easier on the passenger side,where he could get on the floor board, then get up on the seat. Same with getting down, just move the gas can out of the way.

    One of the hardest things to find, a commercial Vehicle or work truck that is still in decent condition. My dad owned a couple of Sedan Delivery 50s vintage Chev's that were worked to pieces when he was a contractor. I'm sure that's why you don't see them often today.

Great job and I would love to see another four door truck build for sure, you have the General now you would have the Sergeant.
