RARE Powerwagon PARKED 23 years! Can we engine swap it and drive 300 miles?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2023
- Join us on an incredible journey as we tackle a challenging engine swap 300 miles away from home, right in the heart of an AutoZone parking lot! In this exciting/ funny video, you'll witness the determination and somewhat resourcefulness of a group of automotive enthusiasts as we pull off an engine swap like you've never seen before.
We'll take you through the entire process, from removing the old engine to installing the new one, all while being surrounded by curious onlookers and the familiar orange and black backdrop of AutoZone... for part of it at least, then mother nature kicked in.
You'll get to witness the victorious moment when we fire up the engine and hit the road for the 300-mile drive back home, proving that with determination, a little bit of breaks and the right resources, you can overcome any automotive challenge.... even with house wiring nuts.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the thrilling ride as we turn adversity into adventure! Don't forget to hit the like button, subscribe for more automotive content, and share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's get started! 🚗💨

In the introduction, the engine swap on the side of the parking lot won you my subscription. Great edits too.
Awesome, thank you!
Am surprised no police harassed you and your crew doing that engine swap. Try that in Massachusetts and you would have been laced up for sure. I lived in the northeast for over 20 years and now am back in Upper Michigan where I was born.
same
16:20 “this should in within the next 30 minutes” that sentence usually will get you in trouble.
Haha and it put us in deep underground
AutoZone Rocks for allowing you guys to do that ! You got her done . Great work boys . Keep the Patina and just clean up a bit .
Exactly what we were thinking! We're not complete resto finishers like we said haha
About the only thing AutoZone is good for..
@@iSmoker57lol for real. I would've been blown away if the guy said no, like for what? All the customers you don't have? 😅
Here at AutoZone, we don't give a damn. Fix your shit, that's why we are here. Just don't park your shit box on my lot for more than a day or two without asking.
I just hope he doesn’t get in trouble. I work out the one in my town and we’re not allowed to do that. We get in trouble for changing our oil in the parking lot.
That’s the best truck ever made I have a 1974 W-100 with a 440 in it I love my power wagon that looks just like the W200 that was at Fort Leonardwood Missouri in 1979. I used to drive around love your show fix it up great vehicle it has locker in the rear or limited slip I should say, all power wagons have them. Thanks for the video retired US Army Sergeant Major Gamsby
Yes sir these w200s were used on the military bases, great trucks
Thanks for your Service Sir! God bless You & America!!!
I would definitely love to see more of this truck no matter what you do with it. This thing locked me in as a subscriber for sure.
The first trip after they make-it work looks like it somehow remind me of the "Dumb & Dumber" movie, vehicle fully rusted-out,
nutshells in every rusted hole in the body,, everything rattling, No brakes working, dirty windshield.. damn what a scary trip !!!
Me too
225 slant six is about as bullet proof an engine as you can get. Good choice for the old Power Wagon.
THEY ARE GARBAGE ENGINES
They sound like total shit though. I absolutly cannot stand how they sound. They remind of of an old POS 4 Cylider Model T
Love the video! I believe the truck was a Air Force vehicle, judging from all the blue paint inside and on the fire wall. Keep the video’s coming!!
We definitely will! Thanks!
I was just gettin ready to say the same thing. I had a 69 chevy ex air force truck, same shade of blue and had all sorts of extra safety/warnin decals on it etc. If that truck turns out to have ever been in VA., i think i saw it for sale about 8.5 years ago, looked about the same extra cripsy shape, think they wanted 5500 for it back then but it ran at that time.
Road Kill reincarnated! Keep up the shenanigans! Great time feeling your pains.
Great video! I remember seeing a couple of these crew cab Power Wagons of about the same year for sale on the York, Nebraska exit back about 20 years ago at a used car lot. Would've loved to latch onto them. Old trucks are so much more durable and fun to work on, versus today's over-priced luxury yahts at $60k-$80k each.
I have been passing really close to these fellas for years. Went through and into Des Moines, Iowa plenty of times driving commercial trucks for 18 years. 😊
I swapped a squarebody trans in a hotel parking lot once, but dayum! Great content, subbed.
You said it's a 68, but it has a 71 hood, grill and dash. I owned a 66 crew cab, a 68 crew cab and a 68 regular cab short box, one of my brothers owned a 67 and another brother and a brother in law each owned a 71. Either the papers are wonky, or someone put a bunch of 71 parts on it. Great old truck! Good luck.
I had to hit that subscribe just based on the name of the channel alone. That's pretty much what I've always done. I can limp anything, anywhere. I used to drive Cat 793 Haul trucks in a mine, and my truck was always on the list of the most reliable trucks. Not because it was inherently less problematic, but I just refused to down it for any reason. In 17,000 hours, I only pulled that truck over three times, and I only had to call for a berm behind me once. I was always able to roll it somewhere safe. I want to took a fully loaded Haul truck up here with a turbo out. In theory, there's not enough horsepower to do that, but I just zigzagged back and forth until I got it to the dump. Tonight, I'm driving a fully depreciated 2008 Prius with 333.323 miles on it. I've got some ominous creaking coming from the steering. The prayers that I've had the longest time has 506000 Mi on the original motor
Love the truck. I find it pretty cool you done a motor swap on a vehicle and drove it home especially in its condition. Really cool.
Thanks 👍
How many miles were on the slant 6? Still had the freaking paint on the block! So glad you didn't stuff a v8 into it
79k!
Good video, seen you guys working on it, thought it was some of us locals here doing the swap.
What I suggest doing with that truck is keep it as original as you can like it is but make it safe with secure body mounts and bed mounts etc..leave the look it has..also tighten up the steering...lol
Man that truck is sketchy as hell but you know what I love it
i’m usually pretty hesitant to start watching a new channel, but definitely enjoying it so far, subbed
Welcome aboard! Glad to have ya!
Same with me! Love the Autozone parking lot swap. New subscriber too.
Id definately love to see more videos on this!!! Those are pretty rare trucks!
My dad and I are currently building a 69’ D200 crew cab with a Cummins from a first Gen. Cool seeing more of these trucks! Enjoyed this video, subbed!
Subbed back brother!
thats def a dream biuld 8 foot bed with a cummings.
Like to see Dodge Cummins Frame and engine swap. And obviously, metal work. Those 🚚 trucks are hard to find in any shape.😊😊
I would have also liked to see the engine install and brake fix
In past videos we have shown a lot when installing and such. We thought people got board because we didn't get views like this video so I'm a little stuck on what to do haha. Engine was super easy to put in and hook up, brakes was just getting a different master and cleaning out a tube that was clogged.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTrapsI think if you spend a couple minutes if time lapse would be better. I looked for the engine install but it was out then I so yeah. But because of this truck, got a subsriber
@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I think this video just hit the algorithm lottery.
@@TorqueKMA hopefully we keep doing that. Got something coming Monday... Since we posted this on a Monday, we'll probably keep to that schedule haha
I love all the old junk Resurrection videos that seem to be popular now...... When I was a young man we called it going to work.....
I'm sure that's what John (seans dad that came with us) would say too haha
You guys pulled off a project. That was quite challenging.
We have so many more to do
Love that truck! Great find
Decent video, your channel has potential. Biggest improvement would be to film the important parts, ya know like fixing the brakes and installing the engine!
In past videos we've filmed a lot of in depth stuff and havent gotten a lot of views on them, we believe going quick and just showing timelapse is best. But if we get more views we'll try going back to showing everything for sure.
@DailyDrivenDeathTraps it was kind of nice not having to sit through 30 mins worth of working on brakes actually lol, shit gets old
agreed,@@superbeeblaze
@@DailyDrivenDeathTrapsI like it this way. Timelapse, and show the good shit/pain in the ass shit.
@DailyDrivenDeathTraps i think you're on the right path
I love that you just sprayed out of what's left of the interior 😂
Sadly didn't get it on camera before the previous owner cleaned it out but both seats had cat crap all over the seats. Def needed sprayed haha
@DailyDrivenDeathTraps hahaha dammm ok that makes sense then. It's an old truck anyway so at least its either pretty rusty already or still good an won't matter because it's old thick metal not like newer trucks
Watched this in the middle of the night while I can’t sleep, right up my alley. You just got my subscription sir.
Glad you liked it! If you stayed awake while watching that must mean it was entertaining enough 😆
You people are my kind of people fixing and chaging engine in parking lot and park i just drank some beer and laughed my ass off god bless keep more of these videos coming
But yes would like to see more videos in this d200
That truck is so cool, rare rig.
I absolutely love that you guys did an engine swap in the parking lot, and got it running and driving too. Freaking awesome. Keep up the awesome content! Looking forward to your future videos. 🤘
People's driving is getting worse no doubt. It's a good thing you didn't have to drive that beat up old truck thru the Washington DC area. You'd see some bad driving for sure, that is if it didn't overheat sitting in the insane traffic. Yes, please do more on this old military veteran truck. Like you said, "It's served this country for years".
We've got a college town close to us and holy cow... college student driving is great haha
I spent ten years going through those areas hauling perishables and frozen foods. Those areas are definitely not fun 😮😮😮😂😂😂😂
GREAT JOBS GUY'S MY 1ST WATCHING & HEARING OF U ALL HERE.......... I DID THIS SORT OF THING A TON IN MY..... 20'S & 30'S...........
Thanks, totally the age to do it haha!
Watch a lot of car shows on UA-cam and beyond, really enjoyed this one. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed it! Well keep making more quality ones for sure!
Great content. Great job. Love it.
Thank you!
My uncle had a blue swb USAF Dodge truck, I think his was '70 model \6 three on the tree. He pulled the leaning tower of power and replaced it with a 383/auto out of this ol '70 fury, that truck was fun.
I used to do tune ups on friends & families cars & trucks in which ever parts store I got the parts from, then neatly stack all the old parts and boxes beside their garbage can, just like the Post Man Rain or Shine, We would deliver, lol Enjoy the parking lot swaps oil changes in car washes, luv the content and ya why not get a metal guy to straighten up the body mounts, clean up the interior and make it road worthy again, I think she's paid her duty serving in the Airforce Now she deserves her freedom to enjoy her retirement to roam the Open Roads of America. Thanks for Sharing all the hard work, worries and jokes & laughter along the way, great Chanel you've got a good head start, from All of Us at: Bare Metal Custom Works in Barrie Ont Canada L4M2Z8 🇨🇦
She deserves a full resto for sure. Thanks for the kind words!
I'm glad to see it up and running
Great video, mopar for life here , ( Ireland ) I had a great reminder seeing the wasps when you picked up the pick up, we borrowed a friends Cummins powered dodge in 2012 when we were racing motorcycles at bonneville salt flats .that is a rare and beautiful truck .welderup keep it patina,d .
New subscriber. Im diggin it, hope more people manage to find this channel
Thanks for the show loved it😊
Glad ya liked it!
I love road trips with sketchy vehicles.
They're good for the heart
I love this build. I will watch every single build in a auto parts parking lot every time!!!
people take driving for granted and don't think about others anymore when on the road. Self-awareness has kind of gone out the window and some people should probably take their driving test again.
That blue is from time in the Air Force, Navy versions would be grey.
First gear is a Granny Gear, super low for pulling!
That would be so awesome to restore this truck to something close to original, not exact as that would be crazy.
Well, if you can't beat 'em, DODGE 'em !
Subscribed, Hopefully you continue with content like this.
Thanks, will do!
You guys remind me of junkyard digs a lot, you guys ever collide with anybody I just found your channel I'm about to check it out but anyways I love your content!
Had the same truck 40 years ago,us army issue,huge winch and giant front bumper,nice power wagon
That's awesome, it would be so cool to ride in a nice once and see the difference haha
Let us see how good your skills really are and restore that death trap
New sub! make more videos on this truck and more trucks like it.
Thanks! Will do!
Leave it as it is. A few body monunts, secure the bed, and drive it. It seems like a good truck for the tiem being.
I have to say guys you did a pretty good job man Keep On Keepin On
I had to replace my clutch Way out in the sticks, a friend had an old 4 wheel drive International wrecker which we four wheeled to where my truck was left, at the base of a valley/huge hill. We had to take off a door to stick the Wreckers boom through to lift the tranny, transfer case. A 1969 Ford High boy! What a nasty but fun job it was but we got it done 😊. As to today's Driver's! Fact is 60% plus don't have a Valid drivers license or auto insurance yet they still drive... Our justice system, courts are a Joke, IMHO. I was in the Towing industry for most of my life. I'm happy you guys weren't stopped by the Cops as they would have impounded the truck and possibly whoever was driving it.
Just curious what you're basing that 60% stat off of? Less than 20% of driving age Americans don't have a license, and in my state, 20% of motorists lack insurance. That's still alarmingly high, but a far cry from 60%.
You guys are insane. AND I LOVE IT!
I just found your channel, I think it's pretty awesome!
@10:20
You got me. You seriously got me with that one!😂
Haha, we had to!
Nice work fella's. New subscriber
Welcome!
Saw a truck 100% just like it in Indiana like 5 years ago and I swear it looks like the same truck. Messaged the guy like 5 times in 3 years never got a response till he said it was already sold. I am not much of a mechanic either. Glad to see it going to get the TLC it deserves!
That's crazy haha, well we're pretty glad it got in our hands for sure!
I needed some new youtube hero's. You guys win. This is brilliant!
Thank you!! Glad you found us
New sub great job that low gear is just for heavy work you will only 2 3 4 most of the time keep on truckin
First time seeing this channel, if you have more videos like this it should gain a ton of traction. Keep it up.
More of the power wagon! Great video
I had a 68 single cab 2wd sweptside bed. I put a 413 in it with a 700r4 and an 8 3/4 rear. Painted orange with a white blue/purple pearl in the clear. Centerline wheels. I loved that truck. It was one of the fastest all steel pickups in my suburban Texas town. Loved that truck. Got in a bad financial way and sold the truck. Guy parted the truck. Ive been looking for that just right project or a double cab like this to put on my 99 cummins diesel 4x4 i have now plowing my driveway and hauling my trailer around. Just build something cool again.
You guys should keep this thing as a rig for lugging other projects around.
Another iowa based youtube channel I love it definitely just got another iowa follower
really enjoyed the video found your channel yesterday
Glad you liked it!
Very Rare truck for sure !!! Great job guy !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Nothing more entertaining than sketchy automotive meyham!! 😂😂 can't wait to see what's next
Saving a 1955 Chevy 3600 with a WORKING dump bed. Been sitting for a lonngggg time. Then driving it back home 150 miles
You guy's got the coolest content.... loving every minute of it....
greetsz from holland... max...😉
😊
Appreciate that!!
Good video. Love the truck. Subscribed for the future. Good luck fellas! I grew up in Iowa so it is fun to see people from there doing stuff I like doing.
We're glad to see people want us to continue. This is the first video to sort of blow up, before this we didn't know if anything would come of it. Since this video we have a lot of ideas in store and can't wait to show people.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps Yeah I see you guys have been at it for quite a while. Hope this will bring in some more subscribers and viewers for you. Best of luck fellas.
As a former autozone employee we always let people work on they're cars in the lot that's why there's a side lot on most but if the manager ain't cool you need To move on
Great video guys 👍👍
This was awesome. Definitely subscribed now
Love it guys!! I drove a 79 Crewcab Chevy from South Dakota to Texas a month ago. I was hoping the wore out 350 would die so I could do an engine swap in a parts store parking lot!! This stuff is awesome! Gained a sub here!
Haha nice! Thanks!
Hello from Des Moines!
Always nice to see more iowans doing fun car stuff.
I love the oriellys guy coming out to investigate
Y’all did ya thing I enjoyed watching this gave me lots of inspiration
We're glad ya liked it! More to come!
Great show. I would like to see the progress of this project
This is awesome, I’m subscribing IMMEDIATELY!!!
🙌🙌🙌
Good stuff boys! You got a new subscriber!
Awesome! Thank you!
Autozone is awesome for letting you guys do that, specifically that manager. But I also think they should sponsor this channel :P
My first vehicle was a 1971 dodge reg cab, long bed, 2wd, with the 383. Which was the last year you could get the 383, not a stroker motor either. The only way you could get the 383 was custom order untill the motors were gone. 1970 was the last year dealers had them on the lot as standard option.
The ankle subscribe thing made me LOL.
Glad we could make ya laugh!
There's nothing wrong with that first gear and that transmission it's called granny gear it's supposed to move that slow. If you want quick acceleration you start off in second gear
She was making some odd noises not just slow.
Exactly
Great content, it's like any program you'd find on tv. Subscribed!
We appreciate it!
Conveniently, the first 60 seconds of this video contained the whole video... so I didn't watch the rest. If they were going for peak efficiency, they nailed it.
wiggetywutttttt
I loved it first time seeing your videos and I just Just subscribed,,
Ditch the bed and go flat bed.
Will be easy and look great.
Also ditch the ac compressor if You are not hooking ac up.
Great job, like that truck. Keep trucking 🤠
Thanks! 👍
I have a '68 crew-cab Power Wagon like this. The hood and dash are later model. You can get replacement body panels from Exline, but be prepared to pay big money.
Love this video keep them coming
We will try! Keeping quality over quantity. Don't want to lose attention and cool factor haha
These are perfect most people don't wanna watch every minute of brakes
Even if you half to do a 2 part video sometimes it's cool my personal opinion I like seeing more videos
Best way to get that trans in...Remove bell housing attach trans. Move bell and trans to engine, roll truck in 4th gear until bell and engine met. Use lower large 5/8 bolts to help if needed. Also, this old guy Says ALWAYS fix the brakes.
Really like y’all’s channel. You earned another sub.
Awesome! Thank you! See ya around!
Iv do a lot in the parking lot of a auto parts store but never swapping a motor but now I need to add that to my list thanks alot lol
Had to change the starter on a Freightliner Century C120 in Farmers Branch, Texas in 102°f heat right in a Napa parking lot. The original starter crapped out right at my delivery point so I got the truck to start one more time and kept it running until I was unloaded then went to Napa and replaced the starter. The delivery place was not to thrilled when I told them had to keep the truck running because the starter gave out 😮😊
Cool deal , I love checking out the New guys
Glad ya liked the vid!
He said…”we had no body mounts”. After that ride you have no spine 🤣
I'm sure the owner of the AutoZone was thrilled when he saw that parking lot after you left....lol.
They loved us actually but thanks tho
It is absolutely beautiful!
