I agree. So, in that spirit. Old tyres tire very easily! Todays lesson for Low Buck Garage. Remember, correct spelling is important or people have no idea what you are typing.

"Directly into... all over the engine" - James, your humour cracks me up every time. Who ever thought I'd get an abdominal workout watching rusty old truck repairs..?!!

Nice catch on the brake-fluid getting sucked into the intake! Most people wouldn't have figured that out for a long time.

So rare to find one of those with the smokescreen feature still intact.

Finally a truck that can pass an emissions check!

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I drove one like that in the early 70s on a job. It had the old 318 poly engine and a massive transmission, granny low and 2wd. What a torque monster!

I'm very envious of that Dodge dump truck of yours! 😁 I've got a hand full of old 4x4's. Internationals and a Ford. I've never even seen an older Dodge 4x4 in my area that was heavier than 1/2 ton. Cool truck! Nice job with getting it running again. Take care 🔧

Hey Zane, good to see you here! I just found this channel. I'm ready enjoying it!

You have some of the best luck in getting this equipment and trucks to start and run, it amazing. Never would of thought of the brake fluid being sucked back into the engine. Your good 👍

So enjoyable. Love your narration, electrical, mechanical skills and innovation

we absolutely need to see more of this truck.

I like the boat tank. It’s very nostalgic for me, I grew up on a dirt road island, all our vehicles eventually ended up with a boat tank on the roof. When you went up a steep hill you just had to squeeze the in-line primer bulb. Which was easily accessible because both the doors and the hood had been removed for safety.

Too bad because they are the best trucks ever and still made

You usually have to put the transfer case into neutral to engauge the PTO. I love old iron it great video! I’m obsessed with old 4x4 trucks. the older the better! I love the rare ones like internationals and jeep trucks. i love how simple they are!

I loved listening to how the compression evened out as you ran it, the engine gradually running smoother as it came back to life. Also, good luck on the tire bale building project :-P

Be sure to chock the bed with a 4x4 (stick it in between the bed and the rail at the hinge point) before sticking a body part in there. I had a co-worker lose a hand when he hit the wrong lever. We would hate to lose you so early in your production career.

Now that's a Dodge I'd be proud to own ! In the early 90's I drove an early 70's F-250 Tall Boy that had a dumping wooden stake bed and was set up a lot like this Dodge with a divorced transfer case and PTO for the dump. At idle in Granny low it would pull a landscape trailer with two commercial 52 inch walking behinds, a Bolens tractor, a bed full of tools, weed eaters and a push mower or two up one of the steepest hills on the way back to the shop. One day I got out and walked along side, the woman I worked with became quiet unhappy with me until I got back behind the wheel.

"Directly into... all over the engine". Perfect!

I love your subtlety and tongue-in-cheek comments about things. The tires on that old Dodge truck are nearly transparent. Maybe you are a Virgo, like me. Anything for a good laugh. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching. Back in 1969 I had a 1965 Jeep gladiator pick up with 230 OHC in-line 6. Horrible motor. Replaced it with a long block replacement and within 7 months it was just as horrible as the original. Seeped oil from every seam. I suggested to Maricopa County (Phoenix) to buy a bunch of these to drive up and down the dusty dirt & gravel roads to keep the dust down. Wish I had another one today to restore with a Chevy, Ford or Dodge motor. Couldn't afford it in `69, I was a newly wed and 25 years old.

That must have been so nice when it was new. Dually and 4WD. With a mason dump.

Cool old truck would like to see more of it

Definitely a 1970 or 71 d300. Bitchen power wagon!! I'd love to have that!! 4by, duelly, with a dump bed👍

Another great video! hope to see more of the old dodge. Makes me miss my old 66 dodge.

I once had an old 1942 Dodge 4x4 military WC-53 Carry-all that had that same PTO system run off of the transfer case but it was for the PTO-driven winch it had on the front. I got rid of it years ago and still regret it to this day. It was in great shape and I wish I would have restored it like I wanted.

My second car was a 41 half ton closed cab military Dodge pickup with a winch. It had a similar setup for the driveline and winch but was the early round nose version that was higher off the ground. The Ambulance in the opening credits of mash was a half ton for a reference. My first car was a 42 Ford GPW Jeep 😎 I really loved those old military vehicles and would love another someday just like you.

I love how the tires dump but all the pine needles stayed. They are one with the truck now. It's the newest fad. Forget rhino liner, or pretty wood. You gotta get you some pine needles! lol

I was never a Dodge guy, but I would take that baby in a heartbeat. I actually have need of a 3/4 dumper, or some yard beast type dumper with a smaller footprint. You have amazing luck at getting those engines, that have been sitting forever, to run. If I would have tried that, the valves would have been stuck, and I would have been able to use the push rods for some fancy artwork. Great video.

I like how you go about getting the old engines running! Use the old oil, plugs, and what ever else.

Great job getting the old truck running...I truly hope those tires will be properly recycled at some time.

That was amazing - thinking about the brake fluid being the cause of the smoke. I question whether I would have had the wisdom to think of it. I really liked the smoke, and I think the rings probably benefited from the brake fluid shower as they awoke from their long slumber. Nice truck, and the dump system was interesting.

If that thing was fixed up to where it was road worthy it would be one hell of a firewood hauler

Juist discovered your channel and have been watching some of your videos. Interesting and fun. I really enjoyed this one. I have to add to your knowledge base here as there are a couple of scenes where you are sitting in the engine bay and sort of crouching under the hood. Only once did I see a video on this series of Dodge truck where the hood was opened to the 90 degree position. It is a simple thing to push the hood beyond the normal 45 or so position to its full 90 degree position. What was common knowledge about the Dodge cabs back in the 60's seems to have been lost in the 21st century. Keep up your video presentations.

Fun fact Dana 70 front axles share a lot of brake components with Dana 70 rear axles so there is a lot of parts availability new and used.

Great channel love the content. This reminds me of my 67 w200 wish I still had it. Your truck appears to be a 70 or 71 ,a company called Tourq King might have the parts to fix the front axle. 6 lug axles share the same architecture but undesirable axle shafts.
