Did every small blue truck in the world get transported to Oklahoma? Its like you put a beacon in the sky and they just show up.
No i got a factory dark blue s10 but its yellow now lol
Right??? I mean how many can be left let alone in that color blue and they're all in Pott county!!!!
😂
That's pretty funny
@@jammie129 hey my s10 is dark blue
Some of the most fun times I’ve had were scouring salvage yards for hidden gems, like a kid in a candy store! I know your happiness!
Puddin is going to single-handedly drive up the cost of every junkyard mini truck in the country!
Thank you to the junkyard for letting Puddin revive some treasures.
I'm absolutely love'n the extra content this second channel provides! More than one Puddin a Week!
Agree 💯, Puddin just has a great easy-going approach to his vids👍🇺🇸⚜️🔥
Thought you would've purchased the silver one as well. She was clean. Esp with that red interior. You should go back and purchase that one too.
Awesome! You should grab the interior out of that silver Courier. It'd look good in one of your other Couriers.
I thought the exact same thing, that interior was looking mint, I’d grab it all, seats, door cards, headliner, dashboard, and whatever else little odds and ends I could find in it.
I would have grabbed that whole truck and not the other one myself.
@@AE-lk3uc Puddin said he wanted a first Gen of the Courier but I agree with you that other one should’ve been part of a two fer and stashed out at the new place.
I'm in agreement with you all, but he does need a motor, so we don't know if he has already purchased it as a after thought ???
You and Mortske tirelessly searching for cars. Takes a lot of effort to find as many vehicles as you all do for sure.
There is junk everywhere so I don’t have a clue what your talking about. Now both have figured out how to take junk and make bank on it. I give them props for that.
No it doesn't.
Man that's one thing I miss about Oklahoma. There are thousands of Salvage yards across the state. I moved to S.W. Florida 17 years ago and haven't seen a proper Salvage yard since. Keep at it Puddin. Your channels are growing for a reason or more.
There are PLENTY of them in Central Florida. I live in Titusville and there are about a dozen of them in between Here and Tampa.
There has to be a bunch of them! You guys are allowed to drive shit on the road until it breaks in half
@@j.sargent9172 IKR? 99.999999% of the people here in Florida can't drive worth a fuck anyway why not drive a p.o.s. I'm presently in the middle of 2 builds. a couple months ago I bought a 61 Falcon with a strait 6 and auto trans in it, I've yanked out the engine and trans and i'm putting a 302 and auto trans in it and I'm putting the 200 strait 6 in a 34 Ford Sedan that I'm going to build into a traditional high boy hot rod which will be painted with flat dark red tractor paint, just like they would have done back in the 60's.
As a first gen courier owner, I’m happy to see you picked one up too! Looking forward to seeing more of it on the channels
You should of got the silver king bed too ! Love you brother !
Man I love your videos.... found you about a year and a half ago ... been watching all of your library since ... loved seeing your evolution
Thanks, Puddin! Appreciate the extra time and effort it takes to do these.
Would be fun to see you do a puddin slammed bug.
I agree. I'm working on one currently
Puddin Bonus videos are awesome!!!
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :
MR. PUDDIN, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SLICK 50 IN YOUR VIDEOS MORE OFTEN AND IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO SEE SLICK 50 WORKING IN YOUR NEW SHOP WITH YOU...
YOUR CHANNEL WILL BLOW UP BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS...
YOU TWO ARE A GREAT COMBINATION THAT COMPLIMENTS EACH OTHER...!!!
Hello to Pud and family, someone asked me not so long ago what I thought a good bloke would be. It's a fair question especially since I don't really like too many people these days. Well I reckon from now on I'll tell them all to go have a good look at Puddins.
I really appreciate the time you put into it and mostly I do respect the commitment it takes. I see people who have a shop and a job and shoot off a video or two about something their getting paid to do anyway. There's a massive difference in someone that sees an opportunity in something that could be done and quits a paid job and sets out to achieve a thing that he can only see in his imagination.
So yeah I reckon you're a good bloke Pud and of course your good wife too. To think I once thought about hiding your shows from my grandchildren because they saw you Puddin dancing and made me do it too. It wasn't long before their mother, my daughter, asked who this puddin character was and what was I allowing her children to watch. Well I reminded her that the whole bloody lot of them including her were my children and if she thought that any harm was coming to them then she could always go sland outside when they visited old granddaddy. I went and explained to the children how dumb people get between the ages of children and older people like me. We thought of a plan and me and the little ones went back inside and did the puddin dance for ages until she agreed to watch one of your shows. Sorry this is so long, I don't comment hardly at all so this will make up for it.
Good ending though, she sat through a show,still didn't get it, straighty 180, and the only alternative that kids and me came up with was locking her in the shed when they visited,that was the kids idea I wanted to tell her to go home to Doug her husband and leave the kids upbringing to me. Apparently as soon they got home they shared this with their father and after a very brief conversation with wife him and children, this conversation must have gone further into the family, turned up at my place, with two cousins as well. He's a great husband and father, my daughter was blessed with him. I had to send him home he was a little sad to go but the little fellows and me agreed that he didn't fit the age group. The cousins, teenagers got bored in a day and left. I was lucky that it was holidays too as the grandchildren range from 5 I think to around 10.
I am getting somewhere with this, kids are so smart and lovely. They especially love the shows with Hotrod in them. Now the only downside if you can call it one is each time I visit their house my daughter also wants me to puddin dance, I do love them all. So you see Mr Puddin even though you and your family are way over the other side of the world what you and yours do can still touch the hearts of me and mine
I suppose that makes it more than a utube channel. When I watch with the kids it's Puddins family's show and that's brave to me. That's why I say you're a good bloke Puddin and I send you and yours all my best wishes.
P.S Sorry but I intend to visit your country for a road trip and I'll definitely want to see Potcounty, hope I spelt it correctly, and I'm planning to incorporate some of the children, I'm not sure how I'll get around say one or two obstacles but if you should ever see a bunch of Australians doing the puddin dance well it may be us.
See you mate. I do like the second show, my daughter says it would be great to have all that time, still doesn't get it mate it's what you do with that time.
Those tiny trucks seem to sing a siren song to you! I don't know how you find all those mini trucks. 😅
Need to grab that silver one for the drive train and interior. Keep up the good videos
Looking forward to the full tour of that junkyard - looks like lots of goodies (Galaxie, 60s pickup). You seldom see anything older than about 1980 where I am.
I’m in middle Tennessee, it’s rare to see anything older than mid ‘90s here .
I miss the days of junk yards be’n full of ’50s and ‘60s stuff.
Please keep the mini trucks rolling! 🚚
That 2.3 grill emblem is worth a lot of money. The last one I seen on eBay was listed for $300
Holy shit 😅
That’s a cool little find including all the parts
Heck Yeah!!! There are so many cool projects around there.
I had a Mazda B1600 back in the day, was one tough truck.
Hot damn here we go with another good one!!!
I do believe the projects are accumulating but I think ya should have grabbed that silver Courier also it has some good parts and the long bed is kinda cool .
I had an orange '76 Courier in college. One of my all time favorite vehicles I've ever had.
Really enjoying the colder weather this week.
They are a great finds there! I wish they were closer! I love that Ford too!
Wow... this really takes me back! My Dad had a 1972 Courier, white with blue interior, and I took my driver's test in it when I turned 16. He kept it for years, finally getting rid of it when it got too rusty to get an inspection sticker. Then, a couple of years later my best friend bought another first gen Courier... this one with the automatic transmission. It was that same bright orange, and was truly gutless with the automatic, but it looked good! Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with this one... love the channels! You have a fan for life!
Carona and I are watching! Love the Pass or Buy part with Pro's and Cons! LOL! This is the way I think! I miss going to the Salvage Yard!
Hot Damn It's Time For Another One 🤘🤘
Had to go get some parts for the ol Millennium Focus about 15 years ago and we got a bone yard in the area where the EPA hit them on soil contamination after decades of operation so they moved all the stock, removed the contaminated soil ,rigged a collection system, encapsulated the base soil and once leveled up again paved the entire site. One of the cleanest junkyards I've ever been to.
I went to my local jy today and scored some factory Jeep aluminum 15x7 rims for my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. And the guy threw in the 4 Jeep center caps for free. Back in 1979 I had a 1978 Ford Courier Long bed that had that same red interior but mine was red on the outside also. Had a lot of fun in that little truck wish I could find another one. And yes that 2.3 badge on the grill comes off pretty easy. I took mine off when I painted the grill black. Puddin" just go ahead and buy the 2 gen. Courier you know that sooner or later you are gonna need some parts off it.
One of my favorites on Saturday night at the local roadhouse....' Pass or Buy '.
WHOOP WHOOP !
Those slotted mags will look great on Slick's little Chevy Luv. You got a really good parts haul. 👍
WOW puddin it's alway's nice to see a video from you. Thanks bro.... O Yeah" and by the way Puddin, it's cool to see Slick in your videos as well!!! you guys are even more funny together.
That was an awesome parts haul, gonna have some added inventory for when you just never know when you might need it. The truck itself should be interesting to see what you do with it. I forgot to mention on a previous video, you did a good impression of Bane! 👍🏻
Keep the "Pass or Buy" coming.
I would have tried to get both, as the many parts that are interchangeable. Good pickin Puddin!🎉
You need to do a Pudin live chat with guest stars Slick 50, Ol Bill and Pudin Pop!!!!!!!!!!!!
St Louis salvage is only 5 miles away from my house! I need to stop by at some point. Looks like there are some good finds there!
Those are super charger tires from back in the day ! We put L60/15 on back and F70/14 on front to give it some stance love your content on both channels👍💯
these mini mazda pickups are worth gold, pretty rare
Good ol Puddin had to walk RIGHT past that 60's Galaxy next to that Mazda. Only to go see that first gen courrier. 😆
We had one of those, LOL! I borrowed it from my Pappy one day for a drive and popped over a hill with a T in the road and a stop sign as soon as I came over the hill. I'm 6'8" and in trying to hit the brake so quick my leg was caught under the steering wheel and I couldn't get my foot over to the brake fast enough. Went through the T, through a barbed wire fence and into the cornfield on the other side of the road. It didn't do much damage to the truck and Pappy drove it for years afterwards until he tried to pull a VW bug with it and scored one of the pistons. Funny thing is, now I drive a '98 regular cab Ranger xlt that has 149,003 miles on it. There's slightly more room than the Courier, but not much. It does have a bigger engine, being a 2.5l instead of the 1.8l the Courier had, but it doesn't seem any more powerful, lol. :) Thing is, I'm not really even a ford fella. The truck was free as I had to put a new slave cylinder in it to get the clutch to work and since you have to drop the tranny to even get to the slave cylinder I just put in new everything. Clutch, master cyl, slave cyl., flywheel, rear main seal...etc, etc.
My family , on both side' worked in the auto industry..
My uncle worked at a Ford plant in Michigan..
The foreign cars/trucks back in the 70's had started gaining in popularity .
But , if you drove a foriegn auto to work at Ford , you were not allowed to park in the parking lot closest to the plants .
The foriegn rigs had to be parked across the highway & walk a man bridge to the factory...
So a guy bought a Ford Courier (brand new) and parked it in the domestic parking lot..
But , most protested bitterly because it was made in Japan..
However , the management said he can park there...
My uncle walked out after his shift & noticed a small crowd around the Courier ...
The truck had been totally destroyed with hammers , baseball bats , hatchets & a sharp knife to cut the interior to ribbons ..
The truck owner was Furious !
But they never knew who or how many had demolished that truck , right there in the parking lot...
P. S. A few days later , the truck owner showed up in a new vehicle ...
It was a F100 made in the good ole U.S of A.
True story.
I'm only here for the dancin' 😁
Haven't even watched the video yet, but you better get that truck in your title pic. Nothing goes better with your pertina than chrome. Make her your color and shine that chrome. Also great to see your videos. Happy for your success. 👍
For courier with another winterized motor area to keep that motor warm in the winter time I bet that sucker won't get cold froze very well insulated!
Damn! I could spend days walking around that yard! Great finds!
In the world of puddin fab shop. The ford courier. You want one in a bad way, not one way bad. Good luck with the hunt.
You'll have your own junkyard at the new shop before too long! Puddin making good money, and going wild buying mini trucks! Haha, I love it! More content for the future, who knows what it will lead you to building.
That blue Mazda truck is SUUUPER rare! I started humming the theme to Tetris when you were loading up the back of that orange courier
I wish we could find stuff like that around here all of the yards around here either won't sell a whole truck or they think they are selling new trucks. Another great video I enjoy the salvage yard and picking up truck videos
I always upgraded my trucks at my dads shop...haven't worked on anything since he passed away...gonna build something with my son soon
Another one rescued!
Looking forward to the revival :D
At the end of the day, you do your thing, I’ll be watching!
As a fellow first-gen Courier owner, you 100% made the right decision to grab those Mazda parts. It's a constant hunt to find them. Heck, I could use the tailgate if you're not too in love with it...
I'd buy that little Ford Courrier, like, RIGHT NOW! I love those small trucks very, very much!
y'all ain't finding one that nice in Michigan. I love the mini trucks of that decade.
The back of that truck reminded me of Santa's toy bag. More toys more toys. There no end.
Man you hit the jack pot there Puddin 👍👍
you should pick up that 2300. you can not beat those things. I'd come down and build it with you.
Crazy, heard you say you graduated in 08 thinking you’re way older. I graduated in 2010. These channels are great for entertainment and car knowledge
That silver one has a super nice interior. Worth it just for that I'd say.
you gotta watch out for the old couriers, they tend to have steering control issues. The one I had, the pitman arm snapped and nearly sent me and my riders over an embankment.
My 82 long-bed Courier was the best cost per mile of any vehicle I owned.
Not luxury, by any means but 28mpg or better on trips and plain bulletproof to 340k when I sold it.
The low-mileage 85 Ranger with 2.3 5 spd was also a good truck but I missed the long bed and the tarp/tie down hooks on the bed.
Still sporting the same toolbox and ladder rack 40 years later on my 97 Ranger.
The 300 six and the 2.3 4cyl have served my hauling needs for 1.5 million miles since 1982.
Aside from replacing the transmission in the 81/82 Courier when I purchased it, (bought it from the manager of the oil change place who forgot to put gear oil in it and drove 12k miles on residue b4 it cashed in a bearing) I put no major components such as rear ends, transmissions nor motors in any of those well worked, purchased used vehicles while often driving them into the 400,000s and one van to 535k when some idiot ran a red light and creamed it.
I have nothing against Chevy and Dodge. I will, however, always be a Ford Truck man.
Thanks, your always good for a laugh. Can’t wait to see the Courier fixed up.
I had a 74 B1600 truck, circa 84. Bought it for $300, engine was siezed (timing chain jumped a few teeth. Rebuilt it and drove for years. 👌
I would snag that red interior. That thing was sweet.
Hey Pudd': Once again, good job grabbing the '76 Ford/Mazda Courier... Looks like the engine could be salvaged and with the right amount of work; could be a nice addition to your fleet of small engine rigs...Good Luck!!! From the home of PB Blaster Silicone Lubyduby Spray... Cleveland, Ohio....C'MON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like that 57 F100 I seen where you wiz loaden yer trailer! I had a 57 about 25 years ago with a six in er. Got it to run and gave it to a friend who still has it.
Good luck from Alaska
I love them wheels on the blue Mazda. I had an old Ford Courier short box with them wheels back in the late 90’s. That truck was so fun.
Man, you’re making me want to do some mini truck stuff. I need to find me a clean 1st gen S10.
Wow the junkyards in Pott county are really thoughtful packin all of that straw around the engines to insulate them.
Mazda truck with the inverted Hood looks like the motor area has been winterized a lot of straw and debris to keep that motor warm! Cuz Mama didn't raise no punk
Nice find. Can’t wait to see some content w/ that little rig.
Nice score Puddin. Always enjoy your videos. No matter my mood, you always seem to make me laugh. Totally love your channel. Keep up the great work. You always have me riveted when a new video comes out, as well as always looking forward to watching the next video. Between this Channel and your other channel, you keep me laughing and entertained in many different ways. Totally appreciate you Puddin! Thanks for sharing with the UA-cam community! Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
HOT DAMN 🥵💥🔥 ITS slick 50, and ol puddin.. 😂 2 best character's on UA-cam.. get'er done fellers
Good vid. My dad bought his ford courier brand new in 1974, drove it up til about 6years ago. Engine died and body was full of rust! In all the same locations, under the windshield, bottom front of the doors. I learned to drive stick in that truck! Great to see you dig one out! 🎉
I really like that little silver Ford and the interior was minty
It's kind of funny my first new truck was a 75 Ford Courier I didn't know anything existed anymore I guess only in Pott County
They are like puppies, you want them all!
That silver 2nd gen is sweet. Never heard of an automatic version
I like that Mazda, my dad had one that was very clean back in the 90s. He let me drive it a lot to work and stuff before he sold it to one of my friends. I can't remember ever putting gas in it. That was a good truck, should have snatched it up myself.
I was hoping that under all those blankets was a rotary. You would have a real find there.
In the early 80s I worked for a foreign car shop in St. Petersburg FL. We had a 1st gen Mazda in mint condition with no motor. We did have a DOHC Fiat and automatic that the car was a rust bucket. So we made a FIAZDA. Coupled to that short geared manual rear end that automatic was a neck snapper! The little truck was a stoplight to stoplight blast but ran out of legs on the highway. It was a surprise to every Porsche or BMW that tried her. I sent some Mustangs and Camaros packing too.
That thing was a blast to drive running parts.
Those were the days.....
Cheers
Terry
Low-key I actually hope he keeps the camper shell on this when I kind a looks right lol 😂
Get her done Puddin 🎉🎉🎉
That yellow truck looks like the planet pizza truck in the Pixar movies
Would love to have that 57 Ford fridge behind your trailer . That is sweet
Used to own a '72 Courier, bought new for about $2000 plus tax and license. Had a lot of good times with that truck.
I like Saint Louis Salvage. Not a nanny operation where they won't let you have freedom to roam.
1974 courier owner here identical color as that one and I love this one 76k miles actually. No dings or rust 3 on floor has mags and original under bed tire holder
Next visit to the junkyard should be titled pick em and pack em 🤣🤣🤣 love the picture at the end 😅😅😆 till next time my Friend
If nothing else , you got a bed to let the 'half hawl" go incognito. Great video.
I think she picked you ! She played hard to get at first then she give in. That 65' Galaxie more doors was straight ! The 57' Ford pickup out front looked good too !
Heh, heh ! Bought a new '75 Courier in November of '75. Gold color. Black interior. 4 speed. Sticker price of $3,499 .00 . . . , steering, brakes ,. . .... all manual. no a/c. am radio. Drove it 30,000 miles in 7 months then traded it for a semi . .. .
Let's see more of what your gonna do to this Ford Courrier truck. Looking forward to it.
Slick, “will it fit?”
The show is called , “puddin’s FAB SHOP, if ol Pudd can’t make ‘er fit…” love all your channels, good vibes from Pittsburgh. Mortske turned me on to you with his yella mini truck!!
