- “Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when there was a flood, the river burst against that house and yet it could not shake it, because it had been well built." -Luke 6:47-48
This 1975 Dodge W200 Club Cab 4x4 has been in my family since brand new, and it started McCool Auto many decades ago! This truck deserves a solid restoration and upgrade, but it is in dire need of work. Think we can put it back on the road? Stick around to the end of the video!

Dylan I could listen to your Dad tell them stories all day long
That’s really McCool that you get to work on this family heirloom Dylan! Can’t wait for the final results!
Love seeing you save the old truck. I'm a Dodge truck man and love seeing them get saved.
I am with you there!
Dylan great video as always ...listening to your dad was great lost my dad in 2015...look forward to this build.... Honor thy father... Everyone be blessed
This is awesome. Love seeing the history and the family ties to the truck. Good on you and your dad must be so proud seeing you work on the truck and making it live once again.
I am so excited to see more of this truck
This is the build i have been looking for. The old 4wd mopars are my passion. Keep this build going!!
In high school (early 90s) my best friend had a 75 D100 4x4 360 (swapped on 4 barrel carb), he later picked up a 78 ext cab 4x4 with 318. Had so much fun with them.
Oh man! I'm stoked beyond belief that you are doing this! I've been so curious about that truck since I first saw it in the field in a video. I had a '74 Power Wagon that I really miss, so glad you're doing this! The parts with your Dad telling the history of the truck and your family really makes this such a special video, I loved hearing the way he says certain things about getting in the carb, just hearing him talk like a Tennessee man like me is awesome to me! Can't wait for the next video, family first, trucks and cars a close second. ❤😊
I lost my dad last September we were like brothers instead of father and we were that close I’m 41 years old now I lost him when I was 40 and a half years old I would watch you channel with him he would always watch it with me but it would always put him to sleep he could fall asleep watching the local baseball and football games on the tv I’m from Baltimore Maryland born and raised and my teams are the orioles and ravens
Hope to see the family truck being restored back in the near future 😊.
You and your dad to restore this truck together. His stories touched my heart. It would be really special to watch you and dad bring this truck back to life.
It’s nice to work to on family history vehicle full of memories.
I grew up in my dad’s 79 club cab. Loved this video. You gotta take this on the power tour next year.
I have my 1974 W100 that my Uncle bought new in 1974 I got it from him in 1979 and drove it to high school and my son drove it to high school from 2020 tell he graduated in 2022 still run and 4x4ing in the desert near Sand Mountain close to Fallon Nevada great show
Them old dodge truck are tough
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Full resto please.
love this project. Especially the effort to fix the metal with the donor parts, instead of switching whole body parts. looking forward to the net video
Great that you videoed your dad and his remembrances, Dylan -- this is something you'll look back on for years to come. I enjoyed this!
I like where this is going. Looking forward to seeing the results
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤❤
I absolutely Loved Story Time With Pop McCool, I would Listen for Days
Always going to have a soft spot for these 72 through 80 Dodge trucks. Makes me miss the 76 W100 Power Wagon I had back in 2017. One of these days, I'll have another 72 through 80 Dodge truck. Can't wait to see the final product. Really digging the truck as a whole.
Now these are the worthy stuff to make a video on, Really appreciated the work effort that you put into these videos my buddy Dylan ❤❤❤❤.
Gotta be one of the coolest videos on the channel now! I wish I could have something like this from my family.
Heck yeah, looking forward to seeing this truck restored! 😎
I'm a Mopar guy and can't wait to see this truck going again !!!!!
Congratulations on being able to work on your family's truck!
the stories you have with that beast it truly deserves to come back to it's glory
your Dads stories are the best part of this video. keep going with it
So love this story. I know my old classic autos hold the same kind of sentiment for my oldest daughter. She used to love riding in the old Nova or '72 F250 when I'd get them out to drive. Still have them and don't plan to release them. I can't tell you how many times I've heard stories where people said they remember riding with dad in the old car and miss it. One person even asked if I'd sell the Nova because their dad had one like it and wished for one. I always say no because we have our own memories with these vehicles.
Dude, sweet old truck. 💯
That’s a great project. I grew up with a 1981 GMC C2500 heavy duty originally ordered by PG&E. They abandoned it when it arrived at the dealership. My dad bought it for his construction business. We used that truck for everything. Tow the boat to the lake, haul cars around. Move a couple of times. I wish he would’ve kept it. I would’ve bought it from him unquestionably. 292, SM 465, 14 bolt full floater. That’s so cool that you get to build that neat old Dodge back up.
I didn’t realize your name was actually McCool. That’s awesome, hi Dixie👋
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤❤
I will be enjoiyng this series of videos. Keep up what you are doing, please
I remember the first time I rode in a Pontiac grand prix I was a little kid in the early 2000s and I had a granddaddy that had 3 1977 Pontiac grand prix and I rode in a gold and white vinyl one and Ive missed him for 21 years he was a Korean war veteran
Hey Dylan, I Love this build!!! There is a 1979 Dodge Club Cab Long Bed Truck that My Brother and I grew up with that means a lot to us. It was our Dad's truck and was last on the road around 2003 or 2004. My brother learned to drive in this truck and drove it around our woods, yard and up and down our road when I was away most of the time at college for a year. This truck is currently at my brothers house. We hope to get it running and driving again soon. This video will no doubt inspire us to get busy with the truck that we grew up with.
Now you're getting into a great mule of a truck!Thanks.
This one definitely needs a t shirt. My favorite model dodge pickup! Cummins 5 speed swap!
It's amazing at the number of people that let things that are important rust away
Well when you have a family to take care of, it’s hard to get to every project at once. It’s still with us though.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo reminds me of the 70 Z28 sitting in the front yard of a house. The owner died shortly after buying it but the family absolutely refused to sale it, last time I saw it, it had a tree growing through the windshield.
@@DylanMcCoolVideoDylan... don't go putting other parts on it..... repair the rust replace the parts that need it... keep it as you remember it......
You are so fortunate....my dad died when I was young.....I was into cars then but my family was so apart so all the passed down cars got traded in.....
Do what you have to do to keep the memories alive....and if you do need parts....try rocket restoration in Olympia WA...aka Dead Dodge garage
That’s amazing, especially the history, I’d restore it, 2in lift, the memories are perfect. Definitely really excited on the build. 🙂
Watching this takes me back to High School. My good friend Dad had same year 225 I believe 4 speed. Some great memories on their farm. Same year green stake pad. The trick was newer would go anywhere old granny gear.
Dylan the drivetrain on the old truck is something special so DON’T get rid of the old differentials and transfer case. Those are heavy duty parts and just a little bit rare. Take the frame, engine, and tranny from the ‘92 and keep everything else from the’75. If you want taller gears then put in some new gears. Yes the ‘75 has sentimental value but I don’t think you realize just how rare that truck really is.
The club cabs in the mid 70's had very few made. I think less than 700 w100 short beds, and about 1000 long beds and less than 2500 w200's but I forget the exact numbers. From "The Standard Guide to American Trucks"
What a way to honor your family history through an heirloom. God bless your whole family.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤❤
Cool to see you bring your family truck back to life. Ik a lot of us have/had trucks and cars that are sentimental and have lots of stories to tell. Ik i sure do😂
Cant wait to see this thing rip in the feilds again man a big cam 440 would be amazing for this truck we got to see a video of him and dad riding in this again
Have been binge-watching your Dodge Challenger rescue from a few years ago. Fantastic work! Most of the vehicles I looked thru had missing engine/tranny and rusted thru floorboards. Not much left to rescue. I almost went for a 1966 Pontiac Tempest but the guy wanted 5000 for it and would not budge! I love the old Chargers, Roadrunners, 442, GTX. Original Hemi blocks alone are a fortune. Wish I could post a photo here.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤❤
I think that's so cool keeping family history alive
Really neat truck. Your dad’s stories are my absolute favorite part of this video. Stuff like this is priceless. Reminds me of listening to my late grandfather when he’d talk about is 72 C10 he bought new that I now own.
Dylan, you need to think of it in this manner: all of the memories are inside the cab. Rocker panels, floor pans, and cab corners will not take away those memories. A replacement bed, doors, and fenders won't kill the memories, but they will help continue to save the past memories and build new memories as well because it will make the truck last longer. Your dad and uncle would be proud to see it like new. The "patina" doesn't make memories either. This family heirloom is a worth a set if fenders, doors, bed, cab corners, rocker panels and floor pans. This is above "patina."
👏👏👏 Couldn't put that any better definitely needs to be saved
I've got my Grandpa's 1970 C10 that he got new. He's gone now and it's mine. My first memory of it is driving it in the hayfield in when I was around 5 years old. I'm slowly trying to get it going, but I don't have a garage and not as good a mechanic as you but slowly getting there. Keep up the good work, we love your channel in Missouri
Moral of this story “ we’re gonna have to figure that out”
Love it
Man I tell you, if could sit and listen to the stories pops could tell it would be a great experience, great job on the family heirloom.
My buddy's dad had an old extended cab similar to this in dark green, man we pulled some shenanigans out by the lake in that sucker! My head hit the roof a few times one night.
What a great video and a great story. So glad to see your father telling his story. What a super cool truck! I love it! Can’t wait to see how this comes together! I am a huge fan of your plan too!
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤❤
That’s an awesome truck! Pulling it in the shop with the Charger was great lol.
My grand dad had one of these trucks . Was a brown one. I loved that old truck and when he past away the older family members sold it off never to be seen again
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤❤
Dylan McCool is back back again 0:07
I JUST LOVE - HOW YOU TRULY LOVE YOUR DAD! 😍👍
LOOK! IT'S McCool IN THE HOOD!!!!
Cool video, Love the stories! You should mount a winch in front of your lift to make it so much easier to get cars onto the lift. Something you can remove if needed but save your back.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤❤
WOW from a video standpoint and a build standpoint!! This video hits on ALL cylinders and the back story and forward build is going to be AWESOME
The bed on my 74 is Rusted just like that that undercoating they used just held the moisture inside of it I guess
Go all the way, fix the rust, respray and make it (Mc)Cool again
Funny to see a truck like that, I had a 1974 Dodge club cab and it had a 440 in it. It was so much fun with the big motor in it.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤❤
Video series? Would love to see you dedicate a run of episodes to this beauty.
Great family story and memory thanks for sharing that with us man
Love it. Old trucks is what I’m all about.
Love hearing your dad's stories. He's soooo chill & "matter-of-fact" with his explanations of the truck's history...lol
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ here in New England there are no classic Dodge trucks on the road because of the salt. They just write beyond belief. I'm a GM guy from day one but once in awhile you can't pass up a good deal. In some ways around 97 a gas station but had been in business forever closed and everything was for sale. There was a 74 Dodge adventurer that sat on the side of that garage since I was a kid, for sale on the windshield. Very little rust because it wasn't on the road for many years. 180 bucks which was what I had in my pocket and the guy took it. It had a 383 and a 4-speed on the floor with a Dana rear end. Of course I had to replace all the wiring because it was brittle as hell. All said and done I liked the truck. It was good hearing your father tell the history and it's great seeing that you're going to get it back on the road and running once again. Thank you for another awesome video Dylan ✌️🇺🇲
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤❤
This episode really hit home for me. Last Thanksgiving I was able to find/buy back the '76 W200 that my Dad and I built when I was kid. It means so much to have it back and I'll be restoring it like you are with your '75. Looking forward to following the build!
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!❤❤
I Will Follow This Build Closely, I Like that Rig
Love this Dylan, you and your dad will need to go somewhere special together when this is done
That truck is awesome! It has exactly one Dylan horsepower!
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks
Hi Dylan from west Alabama hugss
This is the coolest thing ever. Dylan, since your dad used to haul cars with it, it'd be super cool if you made this truck your new tow rig after getting it how you want it
Dylan McCool I love that truck that you get to work on. I've always loved the look of those trucks.
Well since you're keeping it in your family and if I had the money I would do a full restoration keep the truck in black but Sam blast the truck and do like you said put another frame on it but Sam blast it breast prevented undercoat the frame and then you have a solid foundation awesome story
Love the history here, always makes it more fun to watch when the car/truck has a story like this. I love the white grill on it aswell, can't wait to see more of this truck.
I love the fact that you are keeping the family heirloom in the family I’m currently doing the same thing with a 78 ford it was my moms first car her parents bought it new and it has been sitting since 1997
Great stories your Dad told about the truck, thanks for sharing!
Definitely the right call on getting a different truck with a good frame and what not.
Find a 2nd or 3rd hen frame. That would be awesome
cool old truck and great stories from your dad. it will be great seeing that old dodge back on the road!
Looking forward to more on this truck. My father in law still has his original 78 dodge adventurer club cab 440 truck. Bought it new and still has it. Maybe one day my wife and I will have it and keep it going.
Love the truck Dylan! And love the idea of bringing it back to life even more! I look forward to seeing it again.
I love seeing the videos and stories of what happened with old trucks and cars and what they did and who did what to them.
Looks like that bedliner saved the bed Nice. Some awesome stories on this old family truck 20:00 @Dylan McCool
LOVE the truck and absolutely love the fact that you're going to save it. I have an '84 W150, 318 w/727 and NP208 that I've had since '86 (brought our youngest son home from the hospital when he was born in '88 in it) that I will never let go but it needs the engine gone through and the trans is slipping so time to get that rebuilt too, but it's rust free! Wish you were in my neighborhood...
Great stories! I'll be waiting for the next chapter, I'd love to see you take your family out for a ride just like your Dad did.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!❤❤
It’s really cool to see you so excited about a project Dylan. Glad you’re in a spot where you can do that
I can feel what this build is , your Dad's story is great, keep it coming
I've always loved these old Dodge extended cabs. That color looks like what I call forestry green. All the forestry trucks around here were that color. Can't wait to see this truck back on the road.
Now I feel old lol. I was in the Navy in 2003.
1 Dylan powered Dodge.
Cool history
McCool history 😂
Just an idea for you from someone else with a large cab pickup from the 70’s/80’s. They really like to rust from the top down for some reason, my crew cab GMC has a little rust starting above one of the door jams that I’ll have to fix one day, but no one likes dealing with roof rust. Anyway, my point is it looks like the blue truck has a pretty perfect roof for patch panels so you may want to keep that it mind while you’re going over yours. Can’t wait to see the finished product 🤘🏻
My step dad bought a 96 dodge 1500 in 01 or 02. That truck was a beast. It hauled a 60ft single wide up a holler in about 10 inches of snow like it was nothin. I had so many memories in that truck. It later became mine times got hard and I had to sell it. I've only had 2 vehicles I've owned that I got emotional when I had to sell them and that was one of them. I guess what I'm getting at is I was never a dodge fan until my step dad bought that 1500 and seen what an ol dodge can do
It is cool to take the best of both trucks and put them together but keep the originality of the original truck.
I love dylan's satisfaction.....Yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Sounds real Good!!!!
Looking forward to watching this project come to life! Saving the old gal for the next generation... Long live McCool Auto's long black Dodge!!!
