    I love the 59 chevy truck look ! I had a half ton, but sold it to make room for my 46 chevy half ton. Couldn't resist the 46's beauty when I ran into it. I think the 46 was the most stylish, and awesome truck ever designed !!!

    I came for the tow truck... But Geeked out over that dragline shovel he had! You don't see very many draglines anymore. Also kinda cool seeing that skidder pull the tow truck out. I grew up around those skidders when i was younger. We lived around the logging industry and it wasn't uncommon to see those things dragging logs out the mud I'll bet I'm the only 18 year old on KZread who can say that though.

If know where to get infro on it please pass it on. love your vds keep it up.

    +Charise Schwerzler Your Uncle is an awesome man. I wish more of the people I deal with were like him. He really wanted to make sure this truck went to a good home and went out of his way to make it happen. Just a solid, straight-shooting individual. I am glad Homer is back on the road too, He's got his work cut out for him. Thank you and please share the video with Brian if you have the chance. -Rick

    Recently while hunting down some parts that are not on the Market yet for our Rusty Jimmy project I went to the edge of a field to look at a 76 K5 Chevy Blazer hoping to get Brian an interior which didn't pan out the interior was the wrong color also shabby to say the least and the rest of the truck was too. However upon opening the hood I discovered a lovely fairly late model Holley single pump 800 which are pretty rare and to be in working cond like this one was I decided to go get my lunch eating a sandwich while doing my forensic eval of what parts I also wanted to get off the truck. And then this really cute Racoon decided to be friendlier than most I ever seen. I broke off half of my first sandwich and gave it to what I discovered was a young mother Racoon. She promptly took the piece of sandwich over to this ancient 67 Chevelle sitting a few feet away she gave the food to 3 babies that were living in the Chevelle's trunk, they were so cute one actually laid on the seat of the Chevelle since it had no pass side door they spent the remaining time just watching me begging me for more scraps and I didn't say no to em. I need to lose a few so I shared my lunch with em. I should have taken my camera along it was another time I was pushed for more time than I actually had to spend but I really regret not taking my camera along on that romp at the edge of that field.

    Nice video and I love seeing these old trucks rescued. When I was a kid on the farm we had a '55 snub nose with a 16' frame we used for farm and sawmill duties. It had a 3 speed with granny low all powered by a little 283. That thing would pull anything. You may not be the first one there, but you'd get there with anything you loaded on it. I drove it all through my teenage years all the way through college. When I went off to the Air Force my dad retired and sold the old truck. But does anyone else see the irony of the big "bad" monster Ford tapping out and having the little "stock" farm truck finish it's work? LOL

    The Columbia River,,,lol, I live near the source of that. That old shovel/ crane looked like the "SNORT" from DR. Suess. Wasps like big old winches, eh Jamie? That was a nice loading. The Viking coming home, lol, Homer. Those old trucks probably met each other out on the road 50 years ago. I'm happy that you can save them. Very groovy tractor, baby yeah!

    +69ChevroletNova a school bus is actually on our 'Must Find" list for the collection of 1955-1959 Chevy and GMC "Worker" Trucks that we are putting together. No need to wait to see 'Homer" Running though. You can see that by watching 'Part 2" of the Homer video, or by watching 'Homer's First Haul". He's already out doing what we intended him to do.
