- After 2 years of sitting in pieces this old farm truck gets a paint job! In this video I reassemble the fenders, headlights, and get everything hooked back up. The truck is almost complete!

That's awesome you waiting for your dad to share the first test drive. My dad passed away 5 years ago. I am now restoring a 53 dodge m37 and as I was working on it today I was thinking how much dad would love this old truck and enjoy riding in it with me .
Yes I am sure he's watching the whole thing from above and is very proud! I never got to meet my Grandpa before he passed but when using some of his old tools I know it makes him part of the process too
Scott, Truck looks awesome!!!! Beautiful job!!! You will be driving it everywhere, for years to come!!! Congratulations on a job well done. Can't wait for the next video
Thank Paul! I'm super excited to make it reliable enough to drive it around town!
Thanks for the trip to the volcano!😉. Good job!
Hahaha. Thank you!
Awesome, that is going to be so much fun for long time for you.
Best part you did it yourself
Yes sir
Powerwagons looking fantastic! As for wiring,I would 100% recommend getting a power cutoff switch. They're not very expensive and make it super easy to disconnect power from the entire vehicle.
Yes! I bought one a year or so ago that had a removable switch for security but I don't know where it went. I will definitely get another one good idea
A nice new.truck
way to go Dude... very cool...
Thanks!
Great job 😊l oks real good so far. I know you have learned a lot
Looking great, love the green! 10/10 photoshop skills too.
Hahaha. Yeah the green turned out perfect. It looks more milky in the sunlight and dark at night.
Looking Good Scott. Your getting there. First pull on headlight switch is cowl lights, then all Then way out is headlamps. If you want your cowl lights on with headlamps make a Jumper wire between taillights and cowl lights, providing it's a true headlamp switch.
TGP
Ahh. I was thinking I could do pull out the way out and you get the cowl lights.
I have a '50, just about to start the journey
That’s epic. Good luck!
I have to tell you how impressive this restoration is! I too built a power wagon in my garage. Never did anything like it before either. Took me 13 years lol. You have my highest respect. Great job. I can tell you this. I love driving them. You will enjoy it for years. Good luck. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to more progress
That's awesome thanks Bob! Yeah I am excited for it to be at the point where I can just take it out for a spin whenever
Nice build. At a latter stage you could put a bigger fuel tank in.
Not a bad idea can't imagine the mpg is above 10 lol
Looks good , BUT , you should have sanded down inside the cab and then primed the inside of the cab and painted the inside of the cab all green , and put some sound Denning on the floor and put old fashioned black carpet , other than that it looks good 👍 , I want one .
Thanks! Yeah I considered painting the inside but really wanted to keep it 100% original (as much as I could)
vroom!!!
