My uncle Richard bought a 42 back in the 1980s from my grandparents neighbors in Missoula MT. He drove my Mother and her Sister around to the car wash and then over to the Moose Lodge. They wound up 3 sheets to the wind driving that truck all over town. He brought the truck back to Ca. and worked on it for 3 years. It was absolutely beautiful red over black and chromed to the hills.. He said it took him three years because the chrome strips on the grill took 3 years to locate them all.. My mother is gone now but I still recall the smile and laugh she had when they all talked about that day driving the old Dodge around town. Thanks for the throwback it made me smile!

sad face. poor baby. poor old girl. thanks for rescuing it man. ur awesome. I am in love with dodge everything.

I love that you're getting these old timers out of the woods and back on the road. I used to look at the "finished" cars and show cars, but love the rats best now. I drive 3 of them. Thanks for your videos!

I’m Canadian. I’ve. Never. Seen. This. Year. Dodge. Truck until. I watched. This. Video. Thanks

My first ride was a 39 Dodge half ton flatbed! Brings back memories, love your efforts!

Thanks for taking us along JW. Yep don't do that trick much with alluminum bed.😀.

In the beginning looks like a nice 57 chevy worth saving too love the cars you save and bring back to life

I love the way you pull stuff out of the bushes...you know your snatch block inside out!!!! Beautiful score Jon!!!!!

The 4 strakes on the rear fenders are worth the price of admission. Cool ride!

Like the Mopar 1941 to 1947 are the Nice ones Hope to see more on your truck thanks eh ✌

Life is good when you can find stuff like this . You call it rough you need to come up north to see rough ...just kidding great find I believe your part magician you keep pulling great stuff out of your hat or in your case woods .

I believe I would carry a chain saw to cut away some of the saplings that are in your way on a lot of the rescues you make.

Learned a bit about snatch block placement. Thanks. Great truck hope you find parts neede

Man! I have been looking for one of those for years too!

Pretty rough!!! Ya my thoughts exactly, but I have confidence in you. Still watching.

Nice truck Johnboy can't wait to see what you do to it keep the video coming in.

always enjoy your vids. can't wait till the next one

Seems hard to find Dodges and IHC trucks anymore. Worth saving it.Nice job! PS I put a second pulley in front of winch to keep cable centered on drum when pulling at angle.

The 1940 Dodge 1963impala2dr has and i remember that front end he had in front of his shop. But you sure do know how to work that wrecker to get stuff out of the roughest places

I know I'd be carrying a chain saw and a gas powered weedeater with me on all these kind of car rescues. It'd make life a whole lot easier!

its a thing of beauty!!

Great save! My first vehicle was a 39 Dodge 1/2 ton.

love ur projects..keep it going bud . I LIKE IT. !!!

One of my. Favorite. Videos. Of. Yours. First time. Ever. Seeing one. So. Cool. Was. Like. Your. First. Thanks ❤❤❤❤

very sweet project truck and keeper!

That chain trick is awesome.

Thanks for the content ) waiting on the next video )

That's a nice find, but I wonder how much of the body and frame are salvageable, and how difficult it will be to find replacement body and frame components/fasteners? I'd imagine that you'd need entirely new axles, suspension as well. But that would give you an opportunity to replace the original suspension and axles with much newer stuff from a donor vehicle or parts catalog, to turn it into a great handling street machine.

That is a cool looking truck. Doors are going to need a expert to get them fixed up.

Way cool truck! lots of work but all doable!

well Johnboy I see you got Your truck you wanted can't Wait until that truck is done

Nice video , Thumbs up.

👍👌👏 another great old iron saved from the crusher.

Nice job and great truck. That snatch block is worth it's weight in gold.

nice pickup truck nice project

we has a 41 and a 47 one was for parts and we used the other one, not sure which was which, we actually also has an old Plymouth pickup, that was the only one I ever saw way back then, it was not runnable. . you might ought to get one of those little cordless chainsaws if you are going to be getting many out of the bursh.

North Carolina is a haven for old vehicles would love that dodge truck would be real cool with a modern frame and about a 500 horse 440 you sure have a honey hole good for you it’s a good thing for snatch blocks do you not have a regular wrecker even one with a wheel lift only on a one ton them fenders are nice that truck is really pretty good shape it’s not as rough the doors up can make some skins for that it’s a beautiful style I love that old truck the good is the fenders on the back the box looks pretty good along with running boards not that bad I’ve seen you do miracles with worse nice find

It looks good 👍

Awesome!

Lots of cool old car and truck videos Jonathan. Thanks for posting them. I'm trying to figure out where you are located. I haven't watched nearly all of them, so if you said I missed it.

Muy buen trabajo,🤘🍺💪👍

Did this have a positive ground electrical system?

Neat, it reminds me of 1963impala2dr's Rat rod build.

That top heavy look to the cab is always been my favorite truck. I saw a 41 Chevy, same as the GMC pretty much, here on Craigslist for 700.00 then they took it off and it came back at 1100. It was not in bad shape, Chevy with title. If I had the money and a place to put it, well you know the rest.

Make time is right. You got enough projects to last two lifetimes! You sure get to do some cool stuff though.

cool......keep it up

I have a '41 with a 318 swapped into it. This one has to be made before '47. 1947's have vent windows. Which I believe is the only difference. I need a front leaf for my front axle. Can't locate one anywhere at the moment. I'm in NC if you have any leads...

Jonathon, 1963chevyimpala2dr here on you tube has a front clip looks the same but not for sure what year it is also not sure if he plans to keep it or if he would let it go. worth asking ya never know. take care friend.

You use RockAuto a lot. Do you recommend for rebuilt carbs?

Don't you just love those old military snatch blocks? So much easier and quicker to use than the screw type. Plus they're so overbiult. Makes them weigh a ton.

old iron never dies.

I hope you do a video of the finished product.

I'm your huckleberry....thats a cool truck

Naw, it's simply a small world. :o)

I was at a show where someone had a '45. Apparently the trucks went into production before passenger cars, and they were allotted to governments and special needs purchases. Sadly, it had been rodded.

I need a rat rod body or cab lol I want to do a jeep rod

Modern advertising music drives me nuts...

what about a title? THAT THE BIGGEST THING if not have to use it for parts

I just hate to see these old vehicles just sitting and rotting away. And have been rotting for many years. So sad.
