- Join in with the Restored Crew as they pack up the truck and take off to pick up some rare classics. After winning the bid on 5 jewels, the team travels to Graham, Texas to see what it will take to bring these ol' machines back to the shop. Upon further inspection, the guys realize they might have bit off more than they can chew and have to call in some "back up" from a few buddies including @shawncrosstheline in hopes to get these iron giants back home. Will the crew be able to load these monsters back home or are these rare classics permanently planted where they sit?

I'm a splicing technician working for The Company Formerly Known As Bell of Pennsylvania, as well as a gearhead and telco history nerd, so I love to see any old Bell truck out and about.
The first truck you fellas you showed looks like it was used for loggin data on a drilling rig .Very COOL group of trucks.
Found some info about the periscope on the roof:Telephone trucks had this periscope in the cab roof so that the driver could operate the winch controls and watch what was happening in the back of the truck.
It would also have been handy for seeing if the top of the trailer was clearing. There would have been a huge amount of low clearances back in those days.
They had a mirror turned sideways, so they could flip it up and down. They could see the ginpole and the telephone pole being lifted.
That makes sense.
@@BRTowe thats what i said two days ago but there would have been multiple things people found it handy and convenient for use back in the day.. this is what we used it for on the farm in the
Ol pete
The one truck was for running downhole tools on oil and gas wells. A variety of tools were used in the logging process.
Being an old truck driver like myself, these trucks are way before my time but wow!! Those are some of the coolest trucks I’ve ever seen, thank you for the great content. God bless you and your family.
You know what, you are really lucky your dad is always with you. Keep on bro.
Brings back memories for the most of us. Thankful for not only Godly dads, but ones who enjoy projects and spending time with family.
That "Log" truck would make a superb camper van with blendable (roller shades) plexi glas insert in the roof for that sky-view experience.
I'm pretty sure the trailer is a 1940's Allied Van Lines trailer based on what color is left and that black band around it. Low slung with barn doors on rear and curbside only. I'm thinking the first cab you pulled up may have possibly the mate to it. The Bell COE which doesn't go with that trailer possibly had the roof mirror for low bridges but I think it may have been also for pole or aerial phone line installation. Looks like an old gearbox and mount for some kind of lift arm. Also the possible reason for customized, over sized rear window. I live in Canada but worked for Allied when I was young and Bell Canada. Brought back some memories. Cheers!
Yes sir I would agree that the moving van would be an Allied unit.
That Logging Truck is for Logging Oil Wells. After it's drilled they send Probes down the Hole to record how straight the Well is.
That logging truck is the panicle of aerodynamics 😂
Pinnacle* lol
🤭
@@M.TTT.You sure? I think the wallet might agree Panic-le. Lol
@@TenheadLife lol good one
I absolutely love that Wyatt has been so humble toward, and supportive of Lance. Lance, you have a special relationship with your father. You were very lucky to have your Uncle Frankie in your your younger life too. My father was a miserably self centered only child! So he became less flexible as he aged!! What a miserable existence.😐
I like the old truck and trailer. I’ve always liked those snub nose cabovers.
Interesting to see that old tractor-trailer setup. I used to drive trucks for a living and I can only imagine what it must of been like to drive that set up over the road or regionally, hauling freight. They were some tough drivers. It wasn't uncommon back then for those types of trucks to be used for that and the driver had no sleeper. He would throw a board over the seats and sleep on it, sleep in the trailer, or whatever he could make resourceful. We sure have come a long way in trucking. BTW, the old White truck you loaded, the back was not storage, it is the sleeper there was a mattress for the driver back there.
At the age of 63, I was fortunate enough to take the trip of a lifetime driving through England, Wales and Scotland on a pilgrimage to find my family roots. In the 11th century, my ancestors accompanied William the Conquerer on his ‘trip’ to England. They settled in the Wye River Valley and one of them became the Warden of the Forest Dean. The headquarters was in a castle in the town of St. Briavels which commands the high ground overlooking the valley. Driving our nondescript Vauxhall up to the castle on the winding one lane road, when I saw an amazing sight coming down towards me. A beautiful BRG Jaguar E type piloted by a very white haired, scarfed, flat capped gentleman! Could not have been more perfect for me!😊
The Wye valley is beautiful. I have kayaked down through it twice. And driven through there multiple times. The Forest is a nice place too.
The old truck and trailer for sure...it's a piece of American History that needs to be saved!
fully restored to original as it was when it was born
Not a unit , the truck was a line and pole setter for ma bell and the trailer was a furniture van, Now the Combine sleeper unit and the furniture van would make a sweet setup. You could put a service body on the bell truck, it would be a cool service truck.
Mayflower Van Lines had those side doors and the trim down the length of the trailer.
It would make a great rebuild and love to her back in action
The logging truck is an old oil field wireline logging truck. Used to be a big drum with cable on it. They run tools down in wells and record the data. Companies like Schlumberger and Haliburton still have versions of it today.
My dad ran one for 25 years
@@gameovr17 mine as well, he worked for slb for 30 years as a wireline eng in Ak
@@AlaskaDiesel mine was in Arkansas and all the states around. Then his last couple years worked for Schlumberger in Weston West Virginia
My brother used to work for Schlumberger on the slop.
Thanks 👍👍 cool rig!!
Would love to see "will it runs" on all of these! Love the dodge and the cabover!
Unfortunately they are likely going to rot away in a new place, just like the other similar stuff they have rotting away 😕
1:17 that truck & trailer combo would be perfect for my business! Incredible!
I have one of those Ford cabovers. Have had it since the 1980s and got mine from New Mexico. Mine was an AT&T telephone truck originally and had a huge service body on it. Mine has the same mirror attachment on the top and was used for seeing clearance for poles or whatever. You stated in the video, this cabover truck was also a telephone truck. I don't have any pictures of mine showing the service bed body on the back. Mine doesn't have the rear window cut out like that but does have a sliding window fabricated there..
The old White semi is my favorite but also love the other semi and the trailer
That truck and trailer and the snubby nosed camper looking thing...the metro might is exra special too. The periscope is to let the driver look at the load while operating the winch, possibly unloading telephone poles or heavy cable equipment rolls by himself.
Note: If y'all drag something heavy, Duck down, If the cable snaps..... It'll take ya head clean off in a blink of a eye!
Is that what happened to You?
@@delwhylie4748 There's a reason a lot of 4x4 winches are changing to synthetic line from steel wire.
Heavy wreckers and cranes use a different type of steel cable that are less prone to snapping.
😅😅😅😅
Got to be a scot
Gern wäre ich Live dabei, doch in Deutschland ist es mitten in der Nacht.Deshalb nehme ich alles auf.Vielen Dank für die erstaunlichen Auffinden dieser Raritäten aus Deutschland.Viele Grüße an das Team❤.
I am a 4th generation truck driver. Im retired now. The old white is an early sleeper cab truck. Hard to believe someone was able to sleep in that small of a space. That's all they had back then. I was amazed Wyatt was able to turn the wheel. those truck didn't have power steering in that time period. They had a steering wheel the size a dining room table as the drivers called it.
These are all some of the neatest vehicles I have seen. Would be awsum to see them all going again. Keep up the good work!
Man that cabover is a work of art. Please please please more content like this!
The old Ford COE I believe is a 1940 or 1941 , The van looks to be a moving van like the Mayflower Company used, AND what you call a box truck looks to be a milk delivery truck as with The Borden Company.
When you get those side doors open, you might find some clabbered milk. LOL
On the rear of the logging truck there was a winch installed, with a drum of electric cable. This was used to run a series od electric/electronic tool downhole in oil and gas wells. This is to log and record a number of physical parameters of the rocks. This technology was invented around the 20's in Alsace, and is still in use today
I can't pick a favourite I'm just gonna watch em all. Take care and God bless you all
That logging truck and the truck and trailer are the bees knees to me! I'd turn them into rolling mobile homes or campers.
I think it’s been a logging truck used in drilling Oil wells, it would have had a wireline winch in the back hence the controls at the rear of the cabin , just my thoughts anyway
Agreed, it is definitely a well logging truck.
More likely a unit to set over a manhole and pull cables inside the sewer tunnels.
Thats what i like in this channel, they choose really rare oddballs.
This is the time when you wish you had a huge forklift available to load those vehicles. Those winches deserve a huge round of applause!
Well logging consists of running a mile or two of steel cable down the hole with the instruments needed to tell the surfface operator where the gas ano oil layers are.
My fave's gotta be that International. Next would be that COE/trailer.
If I don't miss my guess, That big hole in that trailer on the Bell COE is for a Pintle hitch for when they would pull tandem trailers. The Pintle would be connected to a drawbar/axle assembly with a king plate on it and the second trailer hitched to it.
Well myself I like the Cab Over second place is the Metro Looking Van. The other ones I would have dropped in the ocean where it’s 6 miles deep never to be seen again. Hence boat anchors. I’m a retired Telephone Pioneer before cell phones I kept communications going for Kansas City on the Kansas side. Cable repair technician. When wires got cut or crossed I put them back together. Cell phones cut out wires. ATT placed copper wires up and down EVERY STREET IN THE NATION SINCE 1903. Except the Dodge Truck you left behind it’s cool too.. Nuff said
Every one of those units are cool but, the truck and trailer tandem are my favorite ....the styling of that trailer has a kind of an art deco vibe to it. Curious as to what year the combo is. If restored right (which there is no doubt you'll do) it will be a head turner where ever it goes. Excited to see how they turn out.
Would make a great camper outfit
Wyatt and Lance , you got some serious projects in this old Iron. Should keep y’all busy for quite awhile. Just you Men
Trying to recovering these is job. Always love your videos. It was a Full days work just on the recovery.I like the cab over and the old Dodge.
Excited to see these fixed up with good paint jobs, running, looking good on the road. So many channels just get things running and stop. Looking forward to this. Something different for a change.
The Tractor & Trailer would make a neat RV/Motorhome, some great finds 👍
Very nice pieces of equipment you have their American history I could be wrong the trailer might be a moving trailer for household goods thanks for the video guys stay safe out there
Lance, Wyatt long time between drinks, but man!!! what a gr8 vid. You found some interesting trucks. the big jumbo horse float( looks like a horse float) it's huge. Could turn it into a mobile home with a lot of work and imagination??? A gr8 ep, look forward to the next one. Cheers
It's very good that you guys, found and rescued these are old relics from the past, but I work on vehicles and that's what I want to see, I don't want to just see the finds!
the cabover was a poll setting truck. it would of had a big body on the back with a huge winch and a long boom so as to set up telephone polls and the periscope let the driver see where its at.
That "scoop thang" on the cab over has a mirror in it .its to look at the top of your trailer so you don't hit shit in low clearance situations i know because my grandpa's ol pete had one and i got the trailer stuck under the old bridge on the property grant it i was 12 at the time..now im a old man and know better 😂
Definitely the old truck and trailer. My favourite for sure.👍
That logging truck is a prize! I can see all kinds of possibilities .....
The coe and trailer is amazing what a find they need to stay together and be actually hooked together be an awesome combo to pull around motorcycles in 👍👍
If that was your idea, Christian, for the rimshot on Lance's "joke" it was GENIUS! 😂😅🤣😅 KUDOS TO WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT! ❤
Fun to see Christian all about the family business. Reminds me of the 8 year old left behind in the Temple exchanging ideas with the elders.
@@TheAtstube she is AWESOME and the whole family is an example of how to live a great, GOD fearing, family life. Thank you guys for ALL YOU DO and GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
Those are all cool old trucks. The cab and trailer is neat. That would be one of my favorites. It would be cool to see it running again.
I like the White /IH truck and if I could afford it I'd have you guys make me a car-hauler for my Model A! I'm eighty=two in the fall and it's hard for me to drive the A to the meets every summer as I'm extremely arthritic!
Great find guy!
That logging truck is usually used for the oil fields. The operator would sit at the desk and watch a reel of wire feed from the back of the truck down into a well bore. There would be a sensor at the end of the wire that would “log” where different formations and fluids would be in the hole on a computer screen in a modern day logging truck. The big hole in the floor in the back compartment is where the reel of wire would be. The levers and pedals at the operator station facing the back control the reel speed and direction, in or out of the hole. We have one at the oil company I work for.
great trucks guys - I like the one that had the wood in back - can't wait to see how they turn out - hope you stay blessed
Awesome finds, guys! Looking forward to 'Will it run' videos.... 😁
Thanks for blessing us with another great video
Way cool. I think the one with the open back end would make an excellent T-Shirt launcher.
GOD Bless you and your dad and your whole family !!!
I can't wait to see what you guys do with these really unusual vehicles!
love this gentleman do,also love them d truck
Great collection guy’s, looking forward to the next steps with these units!!
Always great stuff. you guys know that.
WOW Those old trucks are killer...Your lucky you have so much vintage tin over there !
all these trucks are beautiful and deserve to be restored.
Good to see you back! Keep up the awesome work that you are doing!
Telephone guys usually started out somewhere as a "Lineman", which are the guys who go out and just string up miles of cable, from pole to pole. After being a lineman for a while he has the opportunity to refine his skills and go into another sector of the Bell System as a local installer/technician. This is what my father was. He started out as a lineman around 1952 after Korea and swiftly moved up to become the "Telephone Man" in our small town of 2500 people. I have pictures of my dad working with trucks just like this, which is an old line truck. These trucks carried the tools they needed to string the cables and connect them pole to pole. This was a dedicated truck, owned by the Bell System. The Bell System is the one who put those logo's on it. You can tell the general "era" of the equipment by the logo which changed occasionally plus it would help to trace the VIN for the year and model etc. These are GREAT finds and should be in a museum somewhere.
I like the old White/International Harvester truck! Like you said, it would make a really cool hauler when it is restored.
That telephone truck and the trailer would make the coolest damn RV.
Wow I can’t believe you’re loading the whole rig and trailer. 👍
I like the semi the best. It just looks so cool. Great to find it with a trailer attached.
I can see I'm going to pray for you fells a lot more, some of those were just hanging on. Guys great catch.
The IH/White truck's extended cab is actually a sleeper! 😁 What I would do is put a modern drivetrain under it and build that trailer into an RV! 🤔
I KNOW that logging truck: Driven by a guy name "Roger" for an oilfield data logging company called, " Buckeye Well Surveys" owned by Chuck Withey in Louisville, Ohio in 1983. It was my first job fresh out of engineering school. We would drop custom made data logging tools down freshly drilled wells then a radioactive nugget placed inside the tool would enable the sensors to ping-back a signal enabling the geologist to determine variables such as salinity, shale etc. All of the trucks shared that unique color combination and angled graphic layout.
I STILL have an un-opened box of coffee mugs from the company Christmas party from 1983.
I hope they see your comment.👍
It’s awesome seeing you guys out gathering up these old vehicles, God bless and take care
WOW! Waiting with great anticipation. What an amazing machine.
RV Conversion for the logging truck
Can't wait to see what you do with these old rigs.
THAT BIG,TALL, AND LONG TRAILER AND CAB! LOOKS LIKE IT COULD CARRY , ABOUT SIX HORSES WITH NO PROBLEM 😁😁
I missed the notification for this, hate to watch your vids when hey are "old news" I have seen a lot of Borgward Isabella's on Facebook in Texas, but it is such a massive state, I really hope to one day see one of my favorite CZcams channels rescue a Borgward !!!1
Wow, quite the adventure boys.....that truck with the long trailer was an awesome find......
price was right,just get it out here,it's yours.
A 1947 Cabover and a early Streamline Trailer. You need to find the missing Sleepercabin.
I think the truck was the first one they pulled on trailer
That first vehicle would make an awesome conversion to a RV/travel rig
Two piece combo is what they did and you bought 🎉🎉🎉 Super cool great video 🎉🎉
The logging truck was for the oil and gas industry the trucks followed oilfield service rigs and that log truck had a spool in the back with all the tools
Só relíquia meus amigos 😃😃😃😃😃
Thats some haul of vintage trucks. Just beautiful guys. Good luck with the restoration.
My favorite is probably a toss-up between the Dodge and the White with the IH nose, but my goodness.....that Leisure Logger would make an awesome retro camper conversion.
Would've loved to see you guys going down the freeway with them loads.
That "logging" truck is a really old wireline truck used in the oil and gas industry. The hole in the back of the truck had a huge spool with cable on it. They call them loggers because you would attach different tools to the end of the cable and lower those tools down into the gas or oil well and that tool would take different readings about the well depending on what kind of tool that was attached.
Excellent team works. Great job.
Great video I like the white truck and trailer
Just another awesome video love the old iron! Appreciate the time and effort put forth.
Great video. thanks for stepping up and saving these rusted relics. I believe the "logger" was originally a heavy rescue truck from a large city fire department. The controls (pedals) may have been for a large pto winch in the back of the truck. There should be a data plate somewhere on the body. The lever that did nothing might be for the pto for the winch??
That log-ing truck would be the coolest RV build on the road ever!!!!! Close it in and design it and have some travel fun in it.
they are all gold! well done
Y'all need a rotory rollback tow rig. MAJORLY!
The way yall loaded that rig n pony trailer was SKETCHY.
With a rotory...just pick it ... back your trailer under ...load er n chain. Lot safer for them BIG jobs.👍
If these old trucks could talk, oh the stories they would tell.
My favorite would be the logger, because it is so unique, could do a will it run, would love to see that one drive
Second fave would be the white because the looks of the cab and stack.
Love ya fleet of trucks, denali and the other one !!
That old Dodge has a reefer box on the back. Probably owned by a dairy. The front part is the freezer, the back part is a chill areaa
You guys get some awesome finds not having to cut them out of the bush is a bonus
Super cool Collection of trucks there, i like the logging truck
I am torn between the old truck and trailer and the While/IH truck. Both are super-cool. I think I have to give the edge to the truck/trailer, though. They are just amazing and I would love to see that truck back in action.
