I was just gettin ready to say the same thing. I had a 69 chevy ex air force truck, same shade of blue and had all sorts of extra safety/warnin decals on it etc. If that truck turns out to have ever been in VA., i think i saw it for sale about 8.5 years ago, looked about the same extra cripsy shape, think they wanted 5500 for it back then but it ran at that time.

Great video! I remember seeing a couple of these crew cab Power Wagons of about the same year for sale on the York, Nebraska exit back about 20 years ago at a used car lot. Would've loved to latch onto them. Old trucks are so much more durable and fun to work on, versus today's over-priced luxury yahts at $60k-$80k each.

​@DailyDrivenDeathTraps i think you're on the right path

You said it's a 68, but it has a 71 hood, grill and dash. I owned a 66 crew cab, a 68 crew cab and a 68 regular cab short box, one of my brothers owned a 67 and another brother and a brother in law each owned a 71. Either the papers are wonky, or someone put a bunch of 71 parts on it. Great old truck! Good luck.

I swapped a squarebody trans in a hotel parking lot once, but dayum! Great content, subbed.

I had to hit that subscribe just based on the name of the channel alone. That's pretty much what I've always done. I can limp anything, anywhere. I used to drive Cat 793 Haul trucks in a mine, and my truck was always on the list of the most reliable trucks. Not because it was inherently less problematic, but I just refused to down it for any reason. In 17,000 hours, I only pulled that truck over three times, and I only had to call for a berm behind me once. I was always able to roll it somewhere safe. I want to took a fully loaded Haul truck up here with a turbo out. In theory, there's not enough horsepower to do that, but I just zigzagged back and forth until I got it to the dump. Tonight, I'm driving a fully depreciated 2008 Prius with 333.323 miles on it. I've got some ominous creaking coming from the steering. The prayers that I've had the longest time has 506000 Mi on the original motor

What I suggest doing with that truck is keep it as original as you can like it is but make it safe with secure body mounts and bed mounts etc..leave the look it has..also tighten up the steering...lol

Love the truck. I find it pretty cool you done a motor swap on a vehicle and drove it home especially in its condition. Really cool.

My uncle had a blue swb USAF Dodge truck, I think his was '70 model \6 three on the tree. He pulled the leaning tower of power and replaced it with a 383/auto out of this ol '70 fury, that truck was fun.

Great video, mopar for life here , ( Ireland ) I had a great reminder seeing the wasps when you picked up the pick up, we borrowed a friends Cummins powered dodge in 2012 when we were racing motorcycles at bonneville salt flats .that is a rare and beautiful truck .welderup keep it patina,d .

I'm glad to see it up and running

Leave it as it is. A few body monunts, secure the bed, and drive it. It seems like a good truck for the tiem being.

You guys are insane. AND I LOVE IT!

I had a 68 single cab 2wd sweptside bed. I put a 413 in it with a 700r4 and an 8 3/4 rear. Painted orange with a white blue/purple pearl in the clear. Centerline wheels. I loved that truck. It was one of the fastest all steel pickups in my suburban Texas town. Loved that truck. Got in a bad financial way and sold the truck. Guy parted the truck. Ive been looking for that just right project or a double cab like this to put on my 99 cummins diesel 4x4 i have now plowing my driveway and hauling my trailer around. Just build something cool again.

Just curious what you're basing that 60% stat off of? Less than 20% of driving age Americans don't have a license, and in my state, 20% of motorists lack insurance. That's still alarmingly high, but a far cry from 60%.

The original starter crapped out right at my delivery point so I got the truck to start one more time and kept it running until I was unloaded then went to Napa and replaced the starter. The delivery place was not to thrilled when I told them had to keep the truck running because the starter gave out 😮😊
