I worked for NCDOT in 1979. I swear that's my truck, color and all. Good times.
Good job, I resurrected an old D500 dump myself several years ago. You might find that all the rubber flexible brake lines and the one for the clutch line will have to be replaced as they swell up inside choking off all the fluid flow. Anyway, good luck, I have a few videos of it on my site if interested. 👍
I just love the way you guys do this. I see so many hacks who just want to hook up a battery and start cranking right away. You always take the time to do things carefully and your great results speak for themselves.
Thank you so much for that 😊 We’re trying our best to rescue and preserve these rigs.
Now THAT'S a find! You hit the jackpot with this one 👌🏻
Already loving this project revival! 🥰🥰 Looking forward to seeing you all bring this sweet old Dodge back all the way! 🥰🥰
Some people say that it's a good idea to run an engine first for a bit to warm it up to get any sludge mixed up and out with the oil change.
I do agree with that statement. With a motor that has been sitting for so many years, most of the crud will be in the bottom of the pan. It also gives me a chance to check for metal flakes etc. Once we change the oil and run it for a bit, we’ll change it again. That’ll then help clean out the sludge and all. I simply do it out of habit, although it’s not necessary. Oil is cheap, compared to an engine.
@@BudgetBuildz This is true!
318 are good old faithful engines. They were put in everything for a long time for a reason.
If this thing was govt' owned like you said, you know it worked hard, but was always well kept. Good buy. Even here you can see how it came back to life with only a carb rebuild, which today is one thing that shows real mechanic's skills.
Pro tip on old Mopars: always carry a spare ballast resistor.
Pro-tip just haul dodges straight to the junkyard 😊
And a few spare Rockers and push rods. lol
@@samholdsworth420 im sorry youre not good enough to work on them
@@frigglebiscuit7484 😂 this is a kind of response I was expecting I'm just kidding hehe
@samholdsworth420 go work on on your ricer.😂
Guys! You are the best!
☺️☺️ We have the best community behind us!!
Stellar Video Guys!!!!!
.................................
I ask you, "...who wouldn't want to watch a 'Will It Run' video about a 70's stubby dump truck, especially an old DODGE?"
Michael, you are hysterical! Tappy-Taps???!!!??? That's one I've never heard before! Really enjoyed seeing you bring this Ol' Mopar back from the dead!!!
😅😅 Haha! I’m really glad you enjoyed!!
Love Budget Builds who couldn't never can tell what will come in next 😁💟
What a wonderful find! This old girl should be given the love she needs then put back to work. She'll be good for a lot more loads.
You and your dad make it fun to watch
Anxious to see how the truck turns out. You can always use a dump truck around the propery!
Great surprise Michael and Dad.....love your channel....kid and wife friendly.....and local here in the Upstate.....thankee neighbor.
Another BRILLIANT find!!! What is there NOT to love about a Tonka-colored dump truck???!!! Only one wheel is locked up, so I hope you get to drive this one to the land fill and drop off some junk. She is BEGGING for employment! Cheers!!!
Cool looking old truck! Something you don't see that often. I like it
Nice truck with History and class.
Man great job getting her started! That’s one cool Dodge dump truck!
One thing I always liked about those old carters with the plate on top of the bowel, is you can adjust the metering rods and pump while on the truck for your driving needs
Good Job on that Firebird Dump Truck lmao 🤣🤣🤣 look forward to seeing more.
Another knock it of the park choice…
Thank you for the V8 special!
Those 318's and the 225 slant six (tower of power) were two of the BEST engines Chrysler ever made. Economical and very reliable.
Woo hoo! Nice Tuesday afternoon surprise Michael! Hope y'all are having a great week thus far!
💙🙏🏼
And I believe you are referring to the dielectric gel there when you were first turning over the engine 😉
way to go THE MOST IN DEPTH rebuild...even rebuilt the KEY!! lol great job guys keep it up pls!
I would love to see you fix this up including the interior and throw a paint job on it and put it to use. You can get your money out of this one for sure. Unique and nice buy for you to make some great content
Wow what a cool ole work truck y’all rescued …
Love the Dodge dumptruck!
I enjoyed the picture show.
I’m glad you enjoyed 🙂
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers and for sharing
We wouldn’t be here without each and everyone of you all!!! 😊
Built in seats (inner fenders) for sitting and working on it... god I love the old trucks!
They just don’t make them like they used to!!
Thought this was supposed to be about a fire bird , but none the less a good video.
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS..AWSOME TRUCK.. WE NEED TO SEE PART 2... SHOW US THAT BED IN BACK. COOL OIL IT UP.. GREAT BODY AND PAINT JOB..
When dealing with old dodge trucks it’s best to just go ahead and replace everything electrical before u even get started in my experience, or at least have a spare starter relay and voltage regulator and ignition module and whatnot ready and sitting there because something isn’t gonna work. Super cool truck! That thing is kinda rare, u don’t see a d600 every day.
It could useful day to day when you fix the brakes....Jeez, you guys have such nice weather already, so jealous...🤔😳😏🇬🇧
Great start. Yes got some noisy lifters. Maybe after running awhile they will quite down. Thanks for sharing 👊💯
Always brings a big smile to see you guys fire each one up. And a great vid as alwaays
Really nice unit. Nice simple & cheap mechanical/parts.
Thanks! We’re excited to get it dialed in and back to work!
Magic goo😂 iam coining that one michael! Lol love this video!
Haha! 😅 Glad you enjoyed!! 😊
That thing would make an awesome wrecker/tower/hauler.
Michael remember our conversation last year about a barn or unit .your gonna been a museum soon ...or another barn. Great find. But of black paint on the rusty steel, its a work horse
Yeah..I believe you’re right 😁 We’ve got a bit of a collection! Thanks! Sounds like a plan.
A dump truck with a gas V8, and not even a big block. That's cool, and something I've never seen before. 👍
Glad you took steps to get the oil pressure up and prevent a dry start after setting that long!
7:18 that's a cold chisel not a cold-rolled chisel. A cold chisel is a tool used for cutting metal without heating, aka cold. Cold-rolled is metal that was formed into sheets without being heated, aka cold.
Thanks for the correction and info! 🙂
You guys are the best! Just good, family fun. I dont know my real fathers name, but my step dad had me working on cars since the early 80s. Sometimes there wasn't so much family friendly vocabulary, and back then we worked on them out of necessity. Now I work on them for fun. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You and your pops are AWESOME! Class acts, both of ya! Hello from Kentucky!
Wait, is the title wrong? There's no firebird just a dump truck 😂
Bahaha I’m not sure what in the world that was about 🤣🤣
@@BudgetBuildz exactly 🤷♂️
Looks like the dump truck has provisions for a sway bar up front maybe. Not sure if someone removed it but if you plan on hauling with it you’d want a front sway bar haha. Or maybe I was just seeing some weird bump stop on top of the front springs
It’s ALWAYS the ignition module lol
Owned a D100 and I swear to god I went through 7 of them
I have a '72 D500 I'm fixing up so it's interesting seeing what is the same and what is different around the truck. Thankfully no electronic ignition control box, but the same "fun" rear brake cylinders to replace this summer.
You guys can start hauling gravel from the quarry now .👍
Does anyone else like the sound of that starter!
Greetings from Sydney Australia. This came up in my feed so I subscribed. Love these kind of videos. I have a 1966 Holden. Yeh it drives and is registered. Loves a sunny day cruise
I love this mini stubby dump truck
Tc finds has the same exact truck but no dump bed it sat for 23 years also theese trucks could be brothers!!😮💗
Cool
Y'all should turn this into an offroad crawler! Kind of like what the boys out in Utah do.
Man, you got an easy one here Michael! Love them MOPARS!! That truck is in great shape for a 1976! I'll be watching for the next chapter with great expectations!! Love this channel Michael.
Awesome! now put her to work !
Cool Tonka toy😁
😁 Now that you mention it, it does look like a big Tonka Truck!
These 2 can make any engine run even if it is years that it doesn't run
Great old truck. Nice to see her running.
Thanks! We’re excited to put it to work!
I am happy the dust stays where you are, you should wear some mask when blowing it off 🙂
i got a 1966 D500 with a holmes wrecker on it had been sitting for 20 years it also started right up
Awesome video Mike! Cool truck 🙌
Wow I do believe this is same truck that I seen in my area great solid truck.
Watching you from the U.K Michael. Always champing at the bit for the next video. Great content in every edition.
Got you a real work horse👍👍!
Looks like an old 318 V8.
If you put a Cummings 6-cylinder diesel out of a Dodge truck and a 727 trans it would be valuable.
Really like the dump truck. Can't go wrong with a 318. There just runners. Thanks for sharing 😊.
Can you do a classic old school bus like gmc or Chevy or Ford or international just asking my friend .. you have the totally awesome CZcams channel keep up the good work my friend 👍 😀
Thinking with air cleaner off shop vac might help 🤔
I think that’s definitely a great idea! We’ll give it a go before running it much more! 😃
We had a small dump truck similar to that when I was a teen in the 80's but ours was a '66 Chevy. We'd take it and a frontend loader down to the creek and come back with brown creek gravel we used on our driveway and the road going back to our barn, but otherwise it didn't see much use. Handy to have when you need one though. :)
My late father had a Australian built Dodge 660 tipper as his main truck wich was powered by a dodge 321 v8.
Looks great for it's age
I would still test compression for each cylinder, because if some mud is still keeping a valve slightly open, the valve will not last very long...
Awesome! I love this channel. You guys do awesome work.
such a small truck , just right for shows , and trips to the shops !
Nice revival. I have a 1972 D500 to revive this summer and I hope I am as successful as you were. Keep up the great content guys!
Thanks! Awesome! I’m sure you will be 🙂
Great vid! Looking forward to this one coming out like a peach.
Another great video, its so cool to see that old beast run, Im sure youll be driving it soon
Nice work boys! Cool old truck.
Wished I lived close to ya'll, I wanna come to work with ya'll lol. This is different but still just as awesome as ever. Props again guys 👌
OK, now bring on the next one!!
Tiny House/Camper build? That's what I'm doing with a 73 D300 that I just brought home.
I need a little gravel in front of the garage, are you for hire? Ha!
😅 Just let me know where!
THAT'S COOL !!!!
COOL OLD DUMP TRUCK!
Great video enjoy watching keep up the great work
Wow, such a huge truck for a small 318. Must have some really tall gears and move at the speed of molasses on a winter day.
That would be short gears, not “tall” 🙄
Great find😎 great EP 🔥💯
That air cleaner is for the Mopar lean burn system
So cool!
Awesome video! Keep it up!
Great videos Michael, you have a great, personable way of explaining and doing! Thanks for your videos
U can make a key from what u have with a thin scraper down the lock core scratch up the surface were the holes line up were the new key blank is & make a key & don't forget to lightly round the top of the new key or it will be hard to slide in & out
Great job mate ... looking forward to the next installment
Ballast resistor! maybe. Secret of all old Mopars
Great video man, love it
Perty cool I've been a Mopar fan for ever. Great job.
