Watching you build a truck bed out of scrap, chopping up a cherry picker and welding it to the back, all while drinking twisted teas and a ciggy hanging out of your mouth is why I watch this channel lol. Always entertaining. Watching I've learned that you know how to do stuff right just enough so that you know how to get away with doing it the wrong way but still make it work.
Seeing you actually fixing the cars you buy instead of making them run for a video and parking them in a row to rot is one of the reasons why you are my favorite channel. Insane the amount of work you put in to give us great content, thanks Dalton!
Its really wholesome seeing Dalton burst into stories about his grandfather building the truck throughout the video, It clearly holds alot of memories and means alot to him
The excited look you have when driving your new tow truck and then teaching JD to drive it made me cry. A priceless moment between father and son you will share forever,
Love how you get your boy involved in everything and teaching him a good trade and having him learn to drive around the property definitely life experiences you will never forget and building that bond with your son is awesome to see we need more dad like you out there teaching your boy to be a man
@@PoleBarnGarage Your doing the what the best fathers do. It was very heartwarming to watch. This coming from someone who grew up without a father or father figure. Though Im a self taught Jay of all Trades. But I always craved what you are giving JD. Its a rarety these days. Not many Men arent hands on anymore and wouldnt have a clue teaching their childrren how to fix a car. I admire what you have and are building for you and yours.
Dalton don’t be afraid to show his friends too. There are a lot of pussy fathers out there that refuse to get their hands dirty and have zero patience. So if that kid misses the boat you have the father, kid, and his kid down the road that aren’t involved in fixing the problem. Keep being a good dad. Trust me JD appreciates you very much you can see it on his face when you talk to him. Down the road his friends will too. Trust me…. Side note but you ever think of doing a giveaway? I buy some shirts for a chance at a build by you.
@@PoleBarnGarage You're welcome I watch your channel religiously never miss a video I am a quadriplegic highway shot in 2012 I used to do the same thing with my boys even after I bought them quads and go-carts and was able to still teach them from my chair even when they were older I bought them project cars instead of giving them something already running to so they knew how to work on them before it broke down they would know how to fix it without having to put in a shop and costing them a arm and a leg
seems to be nothing special in his family 😂😂😂.... my dad couldn't teach me anything ... he was a rocket scientist working in Huntsville back then with good ole nazi war criminal wernher von braun ... what a name drop 😂😂😂... once he talked about rockets, I fell asleep... how annoying must that have been for him .... well it was he is still telling about it to this day .... same thing with me and my son... 😂😂😂... but we can bond over computers .... server technology... father's just have to look at what their offspring is interested in and support that even if it's not of interest to them... btw awesome videos
I officially name this truck Pole-Mater! This is probably my favorite video to date. The picture of JD where you were standing as a kid was just awesome. The feels were strong with this one!
52:25 was awesome. Good on you for passing this (not neccessarily the truck, but teaching him how to work on projects) down to your son and keeping up the tradition. Youre a hell of role model. This was really cool to watch.
It really is a nice thing to see someone wrenching on a car with his son. I would've killed for this when I was a kid but my dad was a Jarhead who's only interests were Jack Daniels, yelling and punching holes in the walls. I unfortunately can't have kids so I let my nephew help me when I'm out in the garage. He's autistic but cars calm him down for some reason. He always begs my sister to bring him over so he can help me fix cars. I enjoy it a lot 😃
Seeing you hold up that old picture of you as a kid standing by your truck, then dropping it to show your son doing the same hit me in the feels. I'm glad you got it back, because it's hard to put a price on nostalgia, especially when you can make new memories like that later in life. Personally, I think she deserves a little love, man. I think your use-case for it is great, and I wouldn't go crazy either. But some decent tires, make the doors close, bumper and lights, starter and clutch, and maybe a touch of brakes. It's cool that your kiddo has a chance to learn on it just like you did!
New slave cylinder and master cylinder are coming, definitely getting new tires and a push bumper. That damn starter hasn't missed a beat and I've driven this truck every single day for chores around the place for a week now
This is definitely my favorite of the fleet. I love trucks of that era, and the history of this truck is special for your family. I'm glad you were able to get this truck back in the family. It's back home where it belongs.
This is just.... full circle, the moment JD posed in by the truck, same as your picture. You are making core memories, and your son is lucky to have them immortalized in film, as we are luky to be part of it in some way
Stepping out of the truck and walking next to it like a G is every fathers dream. JD was like “WHAT??” and the look of pleasure on your face made us all jealous. That’s a truck son… That is a truck…
Now that truck is valuable, You have pictures from years back to prove it's providence for Pebble Beach or other car shows. Congratulations on the new building, Get the right thickness of concrete for that hoist. Fun video as always Dalton.
@@PoleBarnGaragethis truck is worth doing right..... memories are with their weight in gold.... I never had that ..my dad died when I was 8 (WWII VET)... SO I CANT WAIT TILL YOU GET IT RUNNING....
Seeing you work on that old truck reminds me of working with my family on the farm. Also reminds me of stories my grandmother told about working on cars with my grandfather in the shop. They used to fix up cars and paint them in the winter. Be around 1950.
Yeah in an age when an insurance commercial features a mom lamenting her son boy son cannot change a tire at night she needs to have liberty insurance. I knew how to change a tire at age 12 so mom would not have to do it.
there is nothing, absolutely nothing better than the feeling when you teach your son how to drive a stick on an old beater truck my dad taught me when I was 8yrs old in a 52 Chevy and I taught my son how to drive when he was 12yrs old in a 79 F150 stepside, first time out he popped the clutch in granny low and it idled the entire way across the property, up and down the steep hills with ease, from there it just got better as he learned to shift and picked up speed, its amazing, great video Dalton!!!
I enjoyed the crap out of this video. Seeing you reminiscing about you and your dad painting it, the old pictures and the smile on your face when you drove it around. It might be an old pile of crap to most people, but memories and family are worth more than any chequebook can hand over. It's just a shame I couldn't hear you over that terrible rod knock it hasn't got.
Hello Dalton, A friend of mine who was an old school mechanic for many years always claimed that the best remedy for the Dodge & Chrysler engines with the valve lifters was Risilone oil treatment. Most of the Dodge/Chrysler parts departments according to my friend, the dealerships sold that product to mix with the engine oil. The sticky lifters were a really bad problem several years ago. I really enjoyed seeing you get the old Dodge back up and going again, But good luck getting a decent engine hoist these days.
226/218 Poly... Yesss... So as far as retro fit, I used a 1974 Dodge Monaco deep reservoir dual brake master, don't forget the proportion valve. I replaced the oil air filter with a single sponge from ebay for cheap and also did a front brake disc conversion.. don't hesitate to ask about other changes. I also have two carbs and swap them every couple of years for rebuild.. Good job Guys..
Re: the cherry picker, I designed/built one back in college, the assignment was to improve a product, we basically just overbuilt the thing, increased its reach and articulation, and as far as I know the school is still using it to change/suspend for maintenance the heads on the bridgeports.
Us guys are so simple, days of smiles and enjoyment over some old junk. My wife doesn't get why I like to mess with this old stuff but she knows it makes me happy. She's always saying that she doesn't get why I do it cuz it always puts me in a bad mood. It's the end result, putting something someone threw away or forgot about back in working condition and putting it to work. All the anger,busted knuckles, missing tools in the woods I give my kids 5 bucks a piece to go find is always worth the end result,a stupid toddler like smile and some burnouts to make sure the work is done right. I've been watching you since the beginning, you haven't changed a bit and I've learned some great stuff especially with the body work. Don't change, this channel is perfect the way that it is.
That’s awesome Dalton! Able to buy the old Dodge back that you learned to drive when you were a young lad! I’d like to see your Dad’s reaction when he first see’s it again looking the way it does! Turned out pretty frickin cool! Good work to J.D. as well and Jesse’s paint job turned out nice!!
Keep the old stuff alive!!! Not just the shells, but old school engines. LS etc is fine, but old school engines are amazing. Love your content. Sad we didn't meet you at Duct tape drags last fall. Would love to see you there again and say hello.
That's pretty damn cool that you were able to reclaim a piece of your youth, and let JD do just the same things you were able to do at his age with it. Makes me wish I could find my old 72 GMC Sierra that I had when I was about 13. Had to get rid of her when I was 18 in 2008 when the market hit the shitter, and fuel prices were in the four dollar range.
That's so COOL you were able to get that truck back after all those years. I would've loved to be able to find my first vehicle, but it's probably been recycled into soup cans and bailing wire by now.
What a great experience for JD. He's a young man who knows exactly who he is and where his roots are, thanks to having an outstanding father. Dalton, you really outdid yourself on this one. The old dodge truck might be only running on six cylinders, but this video was firing on all eight. Nicely done!
One of my favorite things about PBG is how much JD is involved. Much like a lot of us did, following our dads around soaking everything we can in. Its clear that a big part of this channel is selfish in that you will have all these memories for you and your boy to look back on for years to come. As much as this channel has hrown, its still VASTLY underrated
Loved seeing the reunion of the old dodge and congrats on your first standard experience JD glad you aren't computerizing the old gal... old iron is definitely the way to go without computers
Out of all the car chanels this one is my favorite. The fix it with what you got or what you can afford is relatable and the it will be fine is the icing on the cake. Just shows you don't have to have a bunch of fancy tools or know exactly what you're doing just try it and figure it out as you go.
This made me sad. Made me think of my dad. And how i miss him. We had some good times me and him. Just like you and your boy. Thank you for making me remember the good times. You are doing a really amazing job at being a dad.
I would love to find my dad's first new car and restore it and give it to my pops. A 1966 Chevrolet Caprice 427 4-speed car black exterior with red interior and a 12 bolt positraction rear end with 3:73 gears but I know that will never happen unless I win the lottery. I'm literally below poverty level due to a rollover accident that left me 100% disabled and unable to work. I'm trying to survive on 1,300 a month. I'll never be able to find the car with my financial situation.. plus my pops has Alzheimer's and Dementia. Love the channel and I love seeing you work on these vehicles with your son. Those memories are priceless! God Bless and thank you for sharing these precious memories!
You really should have more viewers. I love your videos. Love it. How you entire family is involved? That's awesome that your son is there. Keep up the good work
Dalton, Thanks for letting us be a part of this. I can only imagine the feelings and pride getting the opportunity to get this truck back that meant so much to you as a kid. While being able to share that experience with your own son. That spot with your picture and then panning to JD standing alongside it was wonderful! Keep up the great work and stay true to yourself. Good luck with the new addition!!
This is awesome! I like it that you didn't build it back to perfection but like build it like you build it 20 years ago with your dad/granddad. Great experience for JD and i inmagine you guys had a lot of fun building it and learning JD to drive it! Keep up the good work man!
can hear the excitement in your voice finding that old truck was neat to see you bring it back even if just a beater around the shop it's already just being very handy good ol Dodge master cylinder has the old pressure brake light switch on it too so like 4 generations have played with that now? would love to see more on it and was fun listening to the stories you have with it
That's incredible. Every person I've ever taught to drive stick, the very first thing they attempted was a big 3500 rpm clutch drop. Despite being told multiple times to feather the throttle only once in motion. He did such a great job listening to direction
That's awesome you teaching kd to drive a standard and to be honest if he learns in an old truck then any newer vehicles will be a breeze for him 😅😊💙 and I'd run the engine til it quits, then put something fun in it but it runs fine for now and in all honesty it will probably run for years😊
This is so amazing and badass on so many levels. Comes full circle on so many levels. The pictures, you working on it with your son. I'm sure Dad loves this so much. Grandpa too. Please keep it up
This is one of my favorite videos you've done. Along with the great content you always provide in your videos, i thought it was cool that you brought up childhood memories throughout the video and also teaching your son how to drive in the same truck you learned how to drive, that's awesome! Great work as always!
That truck is a family heirloom and JD can learn to drive a manual with it too. Really like this build. I really appreciate that you are teaching JD to make things you need out of stuff lying around the yard. He will be able to do much more than kids in his age group!
That was such a cool three generational family truck story! You did it again! You took a old vehicle got it running and spent almost no money in getting it fixed up and looking much better! I love your show! Great entertainment and educational. Spring is on its way there! I retired to the Philippines... Man I miss my 95 Chevy Blazer Vortec engine vehicle! But I have your great show and other s to keep me entertained within the automotive rebuild, fix and get er done & running department here on UA-cam! Keep up the fun entertainment.
I enjoyed seeing you really appreciate buying back this old truck and savoring all the memories you had of it. I could tell you appreciated what a great old work horse it was and still is. What really got me is seeing you let your son drive it, learning how to work the clutch and let it creep along. I was glad to see you make the original engine live again! Bravo!
And now your son will have the story of working on the same truck you did good job!! This is why I subscribed to Your channel You are a real Dude doing real Dude stuff
I've never seen you so happy on any of your show. The smile and laughter. This moment in time will be with you an your young man for eternity. From Kentucky hillbilly to your family prayers n hugs. Wish I could show you my dad's 53 f100
That's awesome that you were able to give your son the same experience working on the truck you worked on when you were little. He looks just like you in the old photos
It’s always awesome when someone can get something that brings great memories back. Hell yeah Dalton hope we get to see this on the channel more and hear the stories behind it🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I watch this channel because I'm convinced this is the best content on youtube anywhere. Also, you work on literally anything, not just 70's squarebodies and maybe a ford inline 6 sometimes
This video just made me smile the whole way through. I love old trucks, especially ugly Dodges. The fact that this truck means so much to you makes me so happy, and I can tell it makes you happy too. Now it will mean a lot to JD and hopefully he will get to revive it 20 years from now.
Congratulations on bringing home a great childhood memory. Bet JD will also have great memories of the truck. That granny gear was a big help hauling hay. Jess did a fantastic job on the grill. You need to let her paint more. Really enjoyed the video.
That is awesome that you got your first vehicle back! It's a great feeling! I just recently got back my very first car I built ! Congratulations keep that beautiful truck running and living!
Some excellent camera work, and one shot of JD and new old car, and you, as a young Dalton next to the original, was beautiful. Fathers and sons can be complicated, and for me was less than ideal - but JD will remember this for the rest of his life - and the cherished memories no one can take from him. Well done Dalton. You're my hero today.
Both you and JD are worker Bees. JD is great getting good camera angles. I wander Dalton why you got the bed on the truck so fast and then I realized it was because of your Mother telling you all the time to take care of your bed. I love the old trucks and the history they represent. This was another Pole Barn classic episode.
I'm new to your channel, and I have to tell you how immediately IMPRESSED i was with your son! His joyful enthusiasm and willingness to jump in and work are extremely rare; not only for a boy his age, but even for people much older and more experienced than he is now. I LOVE the effort he devotes to identifying the silver linings/bright sides to situations that arise too. He's a great kid Sir, and will become a great adult. Give him and yourself a good pat on the back, and then keep pushing, grinding out the projects together. It's clear HE loves doing it with you too. This is building a firm foundation for his future. He will surely build upon these experiences to do great things throughout his life. What a seriously great little dude..
I’m 16, was working on my first truck and had to replace the dash on it with my dad yesterday, it was a lot of fun spent all day in the lil 98 Sonoma. Honestly idk how kids hate doing these kind of stuff with their dad because I thrive off it
I love watching you and JD working on stuff together. She's far from a worthless truck. She's full of memories from when you were young. And now you guys are making more. No amount of money can buy treasure like that. Your clips are some of the very few that never fail to make me laugh out loud every time. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with us.
Don't ever change! I would rather watch you work on old crap that doesn't matter than watch other channels create masterpieces people are afraid to drive because they look so nice.
You should make sure you have a strong beam in the new shop your building, that way you can just get an electric hoist and save money not buying cherry pickers😊 it wont cost much to have one beam installed so yu can have a strong lifting point. Because To be completely honest with you, I built a lift, out of 2 I-beams and a semi truck air brake and axle and I cemented the axle into the shop floor and and I have a heavy duty electric hoist the heavy duty one harbor frieght has, and it picks up engines and basically everything, its how I store parts on the second floor, once you connect the air-line to the axles air brake it releases and I can rotate the hoist 360⁰ and the hoist controls hang down near the lifting hook, but I have an expensive cherry picker at my shop and I have the heavy duty cherry picker from harbor frieght (not the cheap one, they offer two different cherry pickers, I got the heavy duty one) and it works just as smooth and has picked up the same amount of weight as the nice one I have at the shop. The only thing I did to the one at the shop, was get an air driven jack for it, so I can press a button and it goes up and down😂 💙💙
Hey Dalton I truly hope you take the time to put that truck back together like you say not a full restoration just to get it back on the road pretty sure everyone on here would love to see that truly happy you got to buy it back not often you get a second chance with your first vehicle love your content always looking forward to your next video
Dalton this was a real treat for me to watch. Thank you for such quality content. At the age of 19 I begrudgingly sold my first car, a 1967 Firebird 400 that I procured at the age of 14. But, I managed to hold on to the first vehicle that I drove, a 1977 Chevy Silverado short bed 4x4 with a granny 4 speed and a 12 bolt with a posi. That truck has served me and my family well since the early 80's when my dad first brought it home. It got me "there and back" from every fishing trip, camping adventure, hunting trip, and firewood retrieval mission. I fully respect your desire to keep the poly 318, though I can't help but wish you would do a dingle ball rebuild and re-ring it. Of course with the amount of oil blowing by it's more than likely that an overbore would be in order...perhaps a $400-$500 junkyard "magnum" 318 with a carb swap could serve as content for an upcoming episode.
Thank you for this. I really needed this video. I laughed so hard when you flung that oil bath air cleaner near the beginning and I hadn't laughed in days. Also the look on your face when the engine blocked slipped out of the chain and fell back into the bed of the other truck had me laughing so hard. Thank you for pulling me out of my misery with this brilliant video and I am glad you got that truck. There are probably a multitude of memories made with that truck and memories are priceless and now you can make more memories with JD in it. JD is very fortunate to have you as a father and he is very sharp. Looking forward to the next one as always.
Watching you build a truck bed out of scrap, chopping up a cherry picker and welding it to the back, all while drinking twisted teas and a ciggy hanging out of your mouth is why I watch this channel lol.

That's not a cigarette, that's whats filtering all of the fumes in the garage so he isn't breathing them in *taps forehead*
Kinda like know the rules so you can break em
You can have brushes made. Or Buy bigger ones, file them

All the anger,busted knuckles, missing tools in the woods I give my kids 5 bucks a piece to go find is always worth the end result,a stupid toddler like smile and some burnouts to make sure the work is done right. I've been watching you since the beginning, you haven't changed a bit and I've learned some great stuff especially with the body work. Don't change, this channel is perfect the way that it is.
Nailed it
That’s awesome Dalton! Able to buy the old Dodge back that you learned to drive when you were a young lad! I’d like to see your Dad’s reaction when he first see’s it again looking the way it does! Turned out pretty frickin cool! Good work to J.D. as well and Jesse’s paint job turned out nice!!
28:40 "god i hate mopars" as a mopar guy ive never heard a truer statement
Old Mopars are a pos. I have a 62 imperial convertible it's awesome and a pos
Keep the old stuff alive!!! Not just the shells, but old school engines. LS etc is fine, but old school engines are amazing. Love your content. Sad we didn't meet you at Duct tape drags last fall. Would love to see you there again and say hello.
That's pretty damn cool that you were able to reclaim a piece of your youth, and let JD do just the same things you were able to do at his age with it. Makes me wish I could find my old 72 GMC Sierra that I had when I was about 13. Had to get rid of her when I was 18 in 2008 when the market hit the shitter, and fuel prices were in the four dollar range.
That's so COOL you were able to get that truck back after all those years. I would've loved to be able to find my first vehicle, but it's probably been recycled into soup cans and bailing wire by now.
The last part with JD driving and you coaching him was hella wholesome to see. Awesome work you too!
What a great experience for JD. He's a young man who knows exactly who he is and where his roots are, thanks to having an outstanding father. Dalton, you really outdid yourself on this one. The old dodge truck might be only running on six cylinders, but this video was firing on all eight. Nicely done!
Nothing better to a young lad than tinkering alongside a caring dad.
You guys did a good job It’s nice keeping old tucks in the family
One of my favorite things about PBG is how much JD is involved. Much like a lot of us did, following our dads around soaking everything we can in. Its clear that a big part of this channel is selfish in that you will have all these memories for you and your boy to look back on for years to come. As much as this channel has hrown, its still VASTLY underrated
Loved seeing the reunion of the old dodge and congrats on your first standard experience JD glad you aren't computerizing the old gal... old iron is definitely the way to go without computers
Out of all the car chanels this one is my favorite. The fix it with what you got or what you can afford is relatable and the it will be fine is the icing on the cake. Just shows you don't have to have a bunch of fancy tools or know exactly what you're doing just try it and figure it out as you go.
This made me sad. Made me think of my dad. And how i miss him. We had some good times me and him. Just like you and your boy. Thank you for making me remember the good times. You are doing a really amazing job at being a dad.
I would love to find my dad's first new car and restore it and give it to my pops. A 1966 Chevrolet Caprice 427 4-speed car black exterior with red interior and a 12 bolt positraction rear end with 3:73 gears but I know that will never happen unless I win the lottery. I'm literally below poverty level due to a rollover accident that left me 100% disabled and unable to work. I'm trying to survive on 1,300 a month. I'll never be able to find the car with my financial situation.. plus my pops has Alzheimer's and Dementia. Love the channel and I love seeing you work on these vehicles with your son. Those memories are priceless! God Bless and thank you for sharing these precious memories!
This video brings the warm and fuzzies to good memories of working with Dad... Thank you. And keep up the good work. You're a Great Dad!
You really should have more viewers. I love your videos. Love it. How you entire family is involved? That's awesome that your son is there. Keep up the good work
Lots of hard work and we'll get there someday!
Dalton,
Thanks for letting us be a part of this. I can only imagine the feelings and pride getting the opportunity to get this truck back that meant so much to you as a kid. While being able to share that experience with your own son. That spot with your picture and then panning to JD standing alongside it was wonderful!
Keep up the great work and stay true to yourself. Good luck with the new addition!!
Childhood truck is good to have. I am glad that got it back.
I love that American “Can do” spirit and ingenuity on display in all of your videos Dalton. Greetings from Canada
Most important thing is never give up!
As a fellow Canadian I agree with this message.
I've traveled a lot in the USA and they are fun people.
This is awesome! I like it that you didn't build it back to perfection but like build it like you build it 20 years ago with your dad/granddad. Great experience for JD and i inmagine you guys had a lot of fun building it and learning JD to drive it! Keep up the good work man!
Awesome truck! Glad you got it back!
I’ve got a 58 that I got from my grandfather when I was a freshman, it too is black, 45 years ago, thanks for the video
"Just Prep as go" I'm dying!
JD!! Excellent job!! I'm so proud of you!! You have a great Dad, enjoy every minute 💓 & I know you do ❤️
If you're still naming things, Putty Holly might be fitting for this one.
Making memories with your son. The same way you made them as a child. I too have the truck I grew up in and will be sharing the rebuild with my son.
can hear the excitement in your voice finding that old truck was neat to see you bring it back even if just a beater around the shop it's already just being very handy good ol Dodge master cylinder has the old pressure brake light switch on it too so like 4 generations have played with that now? would love to see more on it and was fun listening to the stories you have with it
That's incredible. Every person I've ever taught to drive stick, the very first thing they attempted was a big 3500 rpm clutch drop. Despite being told multiple times to feather the throttle only once in motion. He did such a great job listening to direction
That's awesome you teaching kd to drive a standard and to be honest if he learns in an old truck then any newer vehicles will be a breeze for him 😅😊💙 and I'd run the engine til it quits, then put something fun in it but it runs fine for now and in all honesty it will probably run for years😊
This is so amazing and badass on so many levels. Comes full circle on so many levels. The pictures, you working on it with your son. I'm sure Dad loves this so much. Grandpa too. Please keep it up
Great old rig. Would love to see some more on it. Glad you got it back. Things like that are priceless
I have been binge watching your channel for like a month now and I’m so excited to see what new videos comes out next!
This is one of my favorite videos you've done. Along with the great content you always provide in your videos, i thought it was cool that you brought up childhood memories throughout the video and also teaching your son how to drive in the same truck you learned how to drive, that's awesome! Great work as always!
That was pretty cool seeing how happy that made Dalton, especially while driving it around the yard…keep up the awesome content 👌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That truck is a family heirloom and JD can learn to drive a manual with it too. Really like this build. I really appreciate that you are teaching JD to make things you need out of stuff lying around the yard. He will be able to do much more than kids in his age group!
That was such a cool three generational family truck story! You did it again! You took a old vehicle got it running and spent almost no money in getting it fixed up and looking much better! I love your show! Great entertainment and educational. Spring is on its way there! I retired to the Philippines... Man I miss my 95 Chevy Blazer Vortec engine vehicle! But I have your great show and other
s to keep me entertained within the automotive rebuild, fix and get er done & running department here on UA-cam! Keep up the fun entertainment.
I enjoyed seeing you really appreciate buying back this old truck and savoring all the memories you had of it. I could tell you appreciated what a great old work horse it was and still is. What really got me is seeing you let your son drive it, learning how to work the clutch and let it creep along. I was glad to see you make the original engine live again! Bravo!
I’d love to watch more of this build and fix older trucks like that 50 Chevy keep up the good content
Love how you guys work together
And now your son will have the story of working on the same truck you did good job!!
This is why I subscribed to
Your channel
You are a real
Dude doing real
Dude stuff
Would make a good slogan!
Love it! The truck is glad to be back home! Great job on the paint! JD can carry on the tradition!
That's a good kid. Willing to learn and try anything. Keep it up with him. He's gonna be a good man .
Real revivals from/ for real folks. Hell yeah. Again positively fantastic to see JD in the shop helping and learning from Dad.
I've never seen you so happy on any of your show. The smile and laughter. This moment in time will be with you an your young man for eternity. From Kentucky hillbilly to your family prayers n hugs. Wish I could show you my dad's 53 f100
Best lesson in life is understanding that if it went together it’ll come apart, many a things perished in the process that’s how a parts shed is built
Love the fact you got your boy involved in all of these - hope to do the same with my son as he gets older.
This is too good... The truck you worked on with your dad & brother is now being worked on by you and your son... Now that's a family vehicle
Some tire chains, a couple spare quarts of oil, and a handful of old rusty yard sale tools and you'd have a heck of a yard truck right there
That's awesome that you were able to give your son the same experience working on the truck you worked on when you were little. He looks just like you in the old photos
It’s always awesome when someone can get something that brings great memories back. Hell yeah Dalton hope we get to see this on the channel more and hear the stories behind it🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
What a great back story to this truck. Glad you got it back and some great memories too.
Loved seeing all the old pics of you and watching you bring this back to life with JD is truely awesome.
Love these multi generational car stories! Now the next gen gets to drive it! Time is truly cyclical!
I watch this channel because I'm convinced this is the best content on youtube anywhere. Also, you work on literally anything, not just 70's squarebodies and maybe a ford inline 6 sometimes
I like all cars!
This video just made me smile the whole way through. I love old trucks, especially ugly Dodges. The fact that this truck means so much to you makes me so happy, and I can tell it makes you happy too. Now it will mean a lot to JD and hopefully he will get to revive it 20 years from now.
That old Dodge is awesome Dalton! Church it up a little and keep it in the family
Congratulations on bringing home a great childhood memory. Bet JD will also have great memories of the truck. That granny gear was a big help hauling hay. Jess did a fantastic job on the grill. You need to let her paint more. Really enjoyed the video.
That is awesome that you got your first vehicle back! It's a great feeling! I just recently got back my very first car I built ! Congratulations keep that beautiful truck running and living!
Some excellent camera work, and one shot of JD and new old car, and you, as a young Dalton next to the original, was beautiful. Fathers and sons can be complicated, and for me was less than ideal - but JD will remember this for the rest of his life - and the cherished memories no one can take from him. Well done Dalton. You're my hero today.
Both you and JD are worker Bees. JD is great getting good camera angles. I wander Dalton why you got the bed on the truck so fast and then I realized it was because of your Mother telling you all the time to take care of your bed. I love the old trucks and the history they represent. This was another Pole Barn classic episode.
I'm new to your channel, and I have to tell you how immediately IMPRESSED i was with your son!
His joyful enthusiasm and willingness to jump in and work are extremely rare; not only for a boy his age, but even for people much older and more experienced than he is now.
I LOVE the effort he devotes to identifying the silver linings/bright sides to situations that arise too.
He's a great kid Sir, and will become a great adult. Give him and yourself a good pat on the back, and then keep pushing, grinding out the projects together. It's clear HE loves doing it with you too.
This is building a firm foundation for his future. He will surely build upon these experiences to do great things throughout his life.
What a seriously great little dude..
I’m 16, was working on my first truck and had to replace the dash on it with my dad yesterday, it was a lot of fun spent all day in the lil 98 Sonoma. Honestly idk how kids hate doing these kind of stuff with their dad because I thrive off it
you and junkyard diggs are why i like cars mad respect bro
I can only dream of finding my first car again and teaching my son to drive in it! So happy you have this opportunity
JD, you are not only learning a great deal, you are helpig A Lot, and your Dad appreciates that in many ways even more than you know.
He's seriously the best help I've ever had, kid is incredibly smart with his hands. He'll be set
No Doubt, and greatt o see him soaking up the sense of humor as well. Both important tools
@@PoleBarnGarage
I had a 1967 Ford pickup with a very low Granny. You could get out and go number 1# and get right back in!
Your son has the best father ever!! Ur a good man! Cheers 🍻
The pictures of you as a kid working on the truck are Great 👍 Looks just like JD out working in the shop!!
I love watching you and JD working on stuff together. She's far from a worthless truck. She's full of memories from when you were young. And now you guys are making more. No amount of money can buy treasure like that. Your clips are some of the very few that never fail to make me laugh out loud every time. Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with us.
Don't ever change! I would rather watch you work on old crap that doesn't matter than watch other channels create masterpieces people are afraid to drive because they look so nice.
I’m glad you got that truck running and driving so that u can share many more memories with JD
You should make sure you have a strong beam in the new shop your building, that way you can just get an electric hoist and save money not buying cherry pickers😊 it wont cost much to have one beam installed so yu can have a strong lifting point. Because To be completely honest with you, I built a lift, out of 2 I-beams and a semi truck air brake and axle and I cemented the axle into the shop floor and and I have a heavy duty electric hoist the heavy duty one harbor frieght has, and it picks up engines and basically everything, its how I store parts on the second floor, once you connect the air-line to the axles air brake it releases and I can rotate the hoist 360⁰ and the hoist controls hang down near the lifting hook, but I have an expensive cherry picker at my shop and I have the heavy duty cherry picker from harbor frieght (not the cheap one, they offer two different cherry pickers, I got the heavy duty one) and it works just as smooth and has picked up the same amount of weight as the nice one I have at the shop. The only thing I did to the one at the shop, was get an air driven jack for it, so I can press a button and it goes up and down😂 💙💙
Your level of sketchiness is goals. Well played, Sirs.
Hey Dalton I truly hope you take the time to put that truck back together like you say not a full restoration just to get it back on the road pretty sure everyone on here would love to see that truly happy you got to buy it back not often you get a second chance with your first vehicle love your content always looking forward to your next video
It wasn't ever on the road lol
Dalton this was a real treat for me to watch. Thank you for such quality content. At the age of 19 I begrudgingly sold my first car, a 1967 Firebird 400 that I procured at the age of 14. But, I managed to hold on to the first vehicle that I drove, a 1977 Chevy Silverado short bed 4x4 with a granny 4 speed and a 12 bolt with a posi. That truck has served me and my family well since the early 80's when my dad first brought it home. It got me "there and back" from every fishing trip, camping adventure, hunting trip, and firewood retrieval mission. I fully respect your desire to keep the poly 318, though I can't help but wish you would do a dingle ball rebuild and re-ring it. Of course with the amount of oil blowing by it's more than likely that an overbore would be in order...perhaps a $400-$500 junkyard "magnum" 318 with a carb swap could serve as content for an upcoming episode.
Good stuff. Memories with JD....priceless!
Thank you for this. I really needed this video. I laughed so hard when you flung that oil bath air cleaner near the beginning and I hadn't laughed in days. Also the look on your face when the engine blocked slipped out of the chain and fell back into the bed of the other truck had me laughing so hard. Thank you for pulling me out of my misery with this brilliant video and I am glad you got that truck. There are probably a multitude of memories made with that truck and memories are priceless and now you can make more memories with JD in it. JD is very fortunate to have you as a father and he is very sharp. Looking forward to the next one as always.
