Welcome to my dodge power wagon restoration vlog! I’ll be taking you along, moment by moment, while I restore my 1958 Dodge Power Wagon W300M 4x4 off-road truck. Episode 8 takes you through radiator repairs, cab and fender bodywork and the addition of new tires, as well as many other odds and ends.

Your vids are fun to watch because of your attitude and humor.
Also, big band music.
Thanks brother. This is me, I can really be myself for these. Glad you’re enjoying it too, and long live the swing band
Man!! That escalated quickly, ey? One day you had two full cabs, now you have a gazillion pieces of cabs. Nice jigzaw puzzle there buddy!
Cheers from Argentina!
He would only need a full screen camera if he grew the mustache to wide screen proportions.
"The Mouse House"! OUTSTANDING!
Dave, you are one awesome dude. Amazing, really!
Thanks bud! Trying to kick this trucks butt! Gettin there
You remind me alot of myself. Seem like a cool dude to sit and have a beer with after a long day or wrenching
Have you approached any suppliers who support this type of channel. I see you mentioned Eastwood several times. I love their stuff. Wish I could see more of it. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Eastwood and I have worked together on this project, yes sir
A guy can't help but recognizolate some sub-tile influences from VGG. Your content is fun to watch. Also, from your appearance I guessed the you were a fire fighter (read: HERO) before I saw it in a video. THANK YOU!! B-T-W... I've also noticed some of the older background music. BIG BAND!
when soldering copper or brass, heat the metal with a propane torch and let the heat in the metal melt the solder and the Flux will allow it to flow smoothly. Be careful not to overheat the metal by occasionally removing the flame of the torch and checking with the solder against the metal to see when your heat is right
Thank you harry!! Always learning
@@partsandrestoDave you are surely welcome. We old farts appreciate you youngbloods who actually have the balls to admit that they don't know and are willing to learn, and we long for men like you to pass the torch to. Anytime I can help you with anything, you're more than welcome to ask. Currently Im living in Indiana, but I was raised in Jersey and owned a house in Bristol, Pa for a while. Keep up the good work. Incidentally, I was also a volunteer firefighter with District 4in Hamilton Square, N.J.
when using hammer and dolly blocks, try to identify where the metal has been stressed by the dent and work from there. Metal having been stamped, retains a "memory" of what it's supposed to be and when you eliminate the stress, the metal goes back where it eants to be
Yet another great entertaining show, Dave - sad that leaky radiator beat you ... GRRR!
Nice to see the old flip-flops back in action - and noticed a black toenail - don't they make ToeTector flip-flops? ;-)
Thanks fella! ToeTector flops are for cowards and communists!! Haha. Rad is off to the shop tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to getting this old gal on the road!
She’s looking good 👍
Enjoyable progress as usual. Look forward to seeing the completed cab.
Won’t be long now brother
So, at 4:00 you said it went from black to red and maybe a fire truck 🚒 then yellow. Maybe it was a school bus 🚌.
🤣🤣🤣 like a short bus!🤣🤦🏻♂️
BTW: Firestone RH-5° rims are “Widow Makers.” ☠️
These are Budd lock ring wheels. Far, far safer.
Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, If word gets out people won’t be so scared anymore. 😂 you are 100% correct sir.
So cool to watch you progress on this project while I'm doing the exact same thing at the same time! I'm documenting on my channel also, just wish I was as entertaining as you...haha.
Looking forward to you donning a dress and dance with a vacuum cleaner, to " I want to break free"
Great progress and wear boots in the shop.
Love from Scotland now twinned with Italy after the Euro Football FInal last night. 5* :D
Pirates & Restoration ! (hahaha)
Widescreen would be great!
You need a full screen camera !
One thing to say. WICKED...
It would be much better to see your videos in landscape full screen and not this little portrait view, hope to see your cool video in full screen view!
Man take that thing to a radiator shop and be done with it .
What top radiator hose did you use?
It’s one I ordered from vintage power wagons . Com
Enough on the radiator!
