FOUND My Childhood Farm Truck After Sitting 20+ Years, Will it WORK Again?

- I bought back the 1959 Dodge D-300 truck that I learned to drive a manual transmission in when I was about 8 years old. It's been abandoned for over 20 years, will it run again? Can we make it look like it used to?

Watching you build a truck bed out of scrap, chopping up a cherry picker and welding it to the back, all while drinking twisted teas and a ciggy hanging out of your mouth is why I watch this channel lol. Always entertaining. Watching I've learned that you know how to do stuff right just enough so that you know how to get away with doing it the wrong way but still make it work.
And he was hating on the tweas in the veteran van engine swap video 😂
YEPPER!
That's not a cigarette, that's whats filtering all of the fumes in the garage so he isn't breathing them in *taps forehead*
Kinda like know the rules so you can break em
You can have brushes made. Or Buy bigger ones, file them
Its really wholesome seeing Dalton burst into stories about his grandfather building the truck throughout the video, It clearly holds alot of memories and means alot to him
I love how JD is getting more sarcastic like you its hilarious
Seeing you hold up that old picture of you as a kid standing by your truck, then dropping it to show your son doing the same hit me in the feels. I'm glad you got it back, because it's hard to put a price on nostalgia, especially when you can make new memories like that later in life. Personally, I think she deserves a little love, man. I think your use-case for it is great, and I wouldn't go crazy either. But some decent tires, make the doors close, bumper and lights, starter and clutch, and maybe a touch of brakes. It's cool that your kiddo has a chance to learn on it just like you did!
New slave cylinder and master cylinder are coming, definitely getting new tires and a push bumper. That damn starter hasn't missed a beat and I've driven this truck every single day for chores around the place for a week now
@@PoleBarnGaragenice!
Love how you get your boy involved in everything and teaching him a good trade and having him learn to drive around the property definitely life experiences you will never forget and building that bond with your son is awesome to see we need more dad like you out there teaching your boy to be a man
Thanks man that means a lot
@@PoleBarnGarage Your doing the what the best fathers do. It was very heartwarming to watch. This coming from someone who grew up without a father or father figure. Though Im a self taught Jay of all Trades. But I always craved what you are giving JD. Its a rarety these days. Not many Men arent hands on anymore and wouldnt have a clue teaching their childrren how to fix a car. I admire what you have and are building for you and yours.
Dalton don’t be afraid to show his friends too. There are a lot of pussy fathers out there that refuse to get their hands dirty and have zero patience. So if that kid misses the boat you have the father, kid, and his kid down the road that aren’t involved in fixing the problem. Keep being a good dad. Trust me JD appreciates you very much you can see it on his face when you talk to him. Down the road his friends will too. Trust me….
Side note but you ever think of doing a giveaway? I buy some shirts for a chance at a build by you.
@@PoleBarnGarage You're welcome I watch your channel religiously never miss a video I am a quadriplegic highway shot in 2012 I used to do the same thing with my boys even after I bought them quads and go-carts and was able to still teach them from my chair even when they were older I bought them project cars instead of giving them something already running to so they knew how to work on them before it broke down they would know how to fix it without having to put in a shop and costing them a arm and a leg
seems to be nothing special in his family 😂😂😂.... my dad couldn't teach me anything ...
he was a rocket scientist working in Huntsville back then with good ole nazi war criminal wernher von braun ... what a name drop 😂😂😂... once he talked about rockets, I fell asleep...
how annoying must that have been for him .... well it was he is still telling about it to this day .... same thing with me and my son... 😂😂😂...
but we can bond over computers .... server technology...
father's just have to look at what their offspring is interested in and support that even if it's not of interest to them...
btw awesome videos
28:40 "god i hate mopars" as a mopar guy ive never heard a truer statement
Old Mopars are a pos. I have a 62 imperial convertible it's awesome and a pos
I officially name this truck Pole-Mater! This is probably my favorite video to date. The picture of JD where you were standing as a kid was just awesome. The feels were strong with this one!
What a horrible name.
Hilariously horrible! Sounds like docking
I love old photos, having a picture on your phone isn't the same as saving a physical item 30 years. Just hits the heart different
Man I dug through hundreds to find those, it was so cool
Stepping out of the truck and walking next to it like a G is every fathers dream. JD was like “WHAT??” and the look of pleasure on your face made us all jealous. That’s a truck son… That is a truck…
The excited look you have when driving your new tow truck and then teaching JD to drive it made me cry. A priceless moment between father and son you will share forever,
Dalton you are the Dad I dreamed of having when I was a kid in the 70’s .
J.D. is now one in a million kids his age that not only know what a starter is, but has helped re-build and install one. Fantastic, Dalton 👍
Re: the cherry picker, I designed/built one back in college, the assignment was to improve a product, we basically just overbuilt the thing, increased its reach and articulation, and as far as I know the school is still using it to change/suspend for maintenance the heads on the bridgeports.
This is definitely my favorite of the fleet. I love trucks of that era, and the history of this truck is special for your family.
I'm glad you were able to get this truck back in the family. It's back home where it belongs.
Us guys are so simple, days of smiles and enjoyment over some old junk. My wife doesn't get why I like to mess with this old stuff but she knows it makes me happy. She's always saying that she doesn't get why I do it cuz it always puts me in a bad mood. It's the end result, putting something someone threw away or forgot about back in working condition and putting it to work. All the anger,busted knuckles, missing tools in the woods I give my kids 5 bucks a piece to go find is always worth the end result,a stupid toddler like smile and some burnouts to make sure the work is done right. I've been watching you since the beginning, you haven't changed a bit and I've learned some great stuff especially with the body work. Don't change, this channel is perfect the way that it is.
Nailed it
I would love to find my dad's first new car and restore it and give it to my pops. A 1966 Chevrolet Caprice 427 4-speed car black exterior with red interior and a 12 bolt positraction rear end with 3:73 gears but I know that will never happen unless I win the lottery. I'm literally below poverty level due to a rollover accident that left me 100% disabled and unable to work. I'm trying to survive on 1,300 a month. I'll never be able to find the car with my financial situation.. plus my pops has Alzheimer's and Dementia. Love the channel and I love seeing you work on these vehicles with your son. Those memories are priceless! God Bless and thank you for sharing these precious memories!
Nothing better to a young lad than tinkering alongside a caring dad.
One of my favorite things about PBG is how much JD is involved. Much like a lot of us did, following our dads around soaking everything we can in. Its clear that a big part of this channel is selfish in that you will have all these memories for you and your boy to look back on for years to come. As much as this channel has hrown, its still VASTLY underrated
Some tire chains, a couple spare quarts of oil, and a handful of old rusty yard sale tools and you'd have a heck of a yard truck right there
I love that American “Can do” spirit and ingenuity on display in all of your videos Dalton. Greetings from Canada
Most important thing is never give up!
As a fellow Canadian I agree with this message.
I've traveled a lot in the USA and they are fun people.
That's pretty damn cool that you were able to reclaim a piece of your youth, and let JD do just the same things you were able to do at his age with it. Makes me wish I could find my old 72 GMC Sierra that I had when I was about 13. Had to get rid of her when I was 18 in 2008 when the market hit the shitter, and fuel prices were in the four dollar range.
there is nothing, absolutely nothing better than the feeling when you teach your son how to drive a stick on an old beater truck
my dad taught me when I was 8yrs old in a 52 Chevy and I taught my son how to drive when he was 12yrs old in a 79 F150 stepside, first time out he popped the clutch in granny low and it idled the entire way across the property, up and down the steep hills with ease, from there it just got better as he learned to shift and picked up speed, its amazing, great video Dalton!!!
This is just.... full circle, the moment JD posed in by the truck, same as your picture. You are making core memories, and your son is lucky to have them immortalized in film, as we are luky to be part of it in some way
The last part with JD driving and you coaching him was hella wholesome to see. Awesome work you too!
"Just Prep as go" I'm dying!
Keep the old stuff alive!!! Not just the shells, but old school engines. LS etc is fine, but old school engines are amazing. Love your content. Sad we didn't meet you at Duct tape drags last fall. Would love to see you there again and say hello.
Awesome quickie build, should name it “Oil Slick” and paint it on the doors.
That truck is a family heirloom and JD can learn to drive a manual with it too. Really like this build. I really appreciate that you are teaching JD to make things you need out of stuff lying around the yard. He will be able to do much more than kids in his age group!
If you're still naming things, Putty Holly might be fitting for this one.
Out of all the car chanels this one is my favorite. The fix it with what you got or what you can afford is relatable and the it will be fine is the icing on the cake. Just shows you don't have to have a bunch of fancy tools or know exactly what you're doing just try it and figure it out as you go.
I don't know what I love more, the sheer unbridled joy of that truck taking you straight back to your childhood, or the fact that you're now teaching your boy to drive stick in the same truck you grew up in. Brings a tear to a mans eye. Kudos, Dalton.
What a great experience for JD. He's a young man who knows exactly who he is and where his roots are, thanks to having an outstanding father. Dalton, you really outdid yourself on this one. The old dodge truck might be only running on six cylinders, but this video was firing on all eight. Nicely done!
Man that’s so awesome to see jd working on the same truck you did as a kid those memories are priceless to the both of you
Honestly i think most every gear head started on either mowers or go carts.
Dalton,
Thanks for letting us be a part of this. I can only imagine the feelings and pride getting the opportunity to get this truck back that meant so much to you as a kid. While being able to share that experience with your own son. That spot with your picture and then panning to JD standing alongside it was wonderful!
Keep up the great work and stay true to yourself. Good luck with the new addition!!
Don't ever change! I would rather watch you work on old crap that doesn't matter than watch other channels create masterpieces people are afraid to drive because they look so nice.
Well it's midnight now and this was just posted. Gotta be at work in 6 hours.... Who needs sleep.
Always love to see an old Mopar get a new lease on life. Your history with it is icing on the cake. The 50s and 60s Dodge trucks are getting pretty rare now.
This made me sad. Made me think of my dad. And how i miss him. We had some good times me and him. Just like you and your boy. Thank you for making me remember the good times. You are doing a really amazing job at being a dad.
Pole barn is the best channel on CZcams. No fancy shop and still gets it done
Awesome truck! Glad you got it back!
Try that with anything new. Its awesome to see that you could not only get a piece of your childhood, but get it back to being usable! Great job as always!
Real revivals from/ for real folks. Hell yeah. Again positively fantastic to see JD in the shop helping and learning from Dad.
This video just made me smile the whole way through. I love old trucks, especially ugly Dodges. The fact that this truck means so much to you makes me so happy, and I can tell it makes you happy too. Now it will mean a lot to JD and hopefully he will get to revive it 20 years from now.
Legend,,!
I'm new to your channel, and I have to tell you how immediately IMPRESSED i was with your son!
His joyful enthusiasm and willingness to jump in and work are extremely rare; not only for a boy his age, but even for people much older and more experienced than he is now.
I LOVE the effort he devotes to identifying the silver linings/bright sides to situations that arise too.
He's a great kid Sir, and will become a great adult. Give him and yourself a good pat on the back, and then keep pushing, grinding out the projects together. It's clear HE loves doing it with you too.
This is building a firm foundation for his future. He will surely build upon these experiences to do great things throughout his life.
What a seriously great little dude..
Father son bonding using cars is priceless. You just know JDs hero is his dad. He is a very fortunate young man who is sure to carry on his grandfather’s and dad’s passion for cars. ❤
Hope JD will do the same with this truck, when he will have his own shop. It will be a family tradition.
That's awesome that you were able to give your son the same experience working on the truck you worked on when you were little. He looks just like you in the old photos
Love these multi generational car stories! Now the next gen gets to drive it! Time is truly cyclical!
It’s cool that you found that truck you worked on with your dad, then working on it with your son all these years later. Keep up the great work man.
Dude.... This truck needs to be made Raodable for JD over time!!! So cool u got it back! Id Kill to find my dads 89 D100 He had... I lost track of it 10 12 years ago
Best video you have made. Parents take note. This is what real parenting is all about.
Making memories with your son. The same way you made them as a child. I too have the truck I grew up in and will be sharing the rebuild with my son.
This is so amazing and badass on so many levels. Comes full circle on so many levels. The pictures, you working on it with your son. I'm sure Dad loves this so much. Grandpa too. Please keep it up
honestly, i'd make this in a series and keep it as an heirloom for your son. your dad bought it, you worked on it as a kid, it is an awesome truck.
My first car was a 55Chevy ran high 12 with a 350 LT -1 Muncie 4 speed and 456 posi back in79. Oh yeah, its out in my garage right now. Not many can make that claim, love the Dodge.
Hillbilly ingenuity at its best right here on the Pole Barn Garage Channel. That is why I watch. JD your doing great little man. The Ol' man is teaching you right.
Dalton getting a piece of your childhood is awesome . That’s a truck w/ a story . That’s the one I flock to at car show . Not because of perfect paint and body it’s what it took to get it there . And the hands not the shop that built it . Your family did and w/ JD your still doing it . Congrats on your new future Shop you deserve it .
How cool to have your son working on a truck you worked
on at the same age. I love that, Good for you dude!
Man he is so grown up already Dalton. Congrats!!!
Maybe duallies in the back.
Having it back to pass it on is priceless
Showed up for the holy goat, stayed for the sarcasm. The mentoring of JD has me hooked. I sure do miss my Dad!
This kids got the coolest dad.
I can't believe you hid those louvers. At least once recognize fashion over function.
Loved it.
Oh man, Dalton...one of your best revivals yet!😀
Wow D my heart skipped a bit when that chain slipped. Great video. Lots of men in that truck.
What a blast from your past! Very cool father-son project and work truck!
Congratulations on bringing home a great childhood memory. Bet JD will also have great memories of the truck. That granny gear was a big help hauling hay. Jess did a fantastic job on the grill. You need to let her paint more. Really enjoyed the video.
This guy fixes cars like I live life. Just good enough for who it's for. 10/10
You really put this back to work (revival and cleanup) all in 1 video. I appreciate that you don't draw stuff out, fix it up just enough, and keep old stuff on the road. That is more green than any new crap. Love the content
Best lesson in life is understanding that if it went together it’ll come apart, many a things perished in the process that’s how a parts shed is built
That's incredible. Every person I've ever taught to drive stick, the very first thing they attempted was a big 3500 rpm clutch drop. Despite being told multiple times to feather the throttle only once in motion. He did such a great job listening to direction
These old dodges are underrated, they made some good looking trucks!
Your excitement was priceless. Love the respect for "the old girl"
Some excellent camera work, and one shot of JD and new old car, and you, as a young Dalton next to the original, was beautiful. Fathers and sons can be complicated, and for me was less than ideal - but JD will remember this for the rest of his life - and the cherished memories no one can take from him. Well done Dalton. You're my hero today.
This video brings the warm and fuzzies to good memories of working with Dad... Thank you. And keep up the good work. You're a Great Dad!
I've never seen you so happy on any of your show. The smile and laughter. This moment in time will be with you an your young man for eternity. From Kentucky hillbilly to your family prayers n hugs. Wish I could show you my dad's 53 f100
I’m glad you got that truck running and driving so that u can share many more memories with JD
Both you and JD are worker Bees. JD is great getting good camera angles. I wander Dalton why you got the bed on the truck so fast and then I realized it was because of your Mother telling you all the time to take care of your bed. I love the old trucks and the history they represent. This was another Pole Barn classic episode.
Dalton this was a real treat for me to watch. Thank you for such quality content. At the age of 19 I begrudgingly sold my first car, a 1967 Firebird 400 that I procured at the age of 14. But, I managed to hold on to the first vehicle that I drove, a 1977 Chevy Silverado short bed 4x4 with a granny 4 speed and a 12 bolt with a posi. That truck has served me and my family well since the early 80's when my dad first brought it home. It got me "there and back" from every fishing trip, camping adventure, hunting trip, and firewood retrieval mission. I fully respect your desire to keep the poly 318, though I can't help but wish you would do a dingle ball rebuild and re-ring it. Of course with the amount of oil blowing by it's more than likely that an overbore would be in order...perhaps a $400-$500 junkyard "magnum" 318 with a carb swap could serve as content for an upcoming episode.
The relationship you have with your son is the relationship that I inspire to have with my son when he gets older. Great parenting and great video.
This is too good... The truck you worked on with your dad & brother is now being worked on by you and your son... Now that's a family vehicle
That is awesome that you got your first vehicle back! It's a great feeling! I just recently got back my very first car I built ! Congratulations keep that beautiful truck running and living!
Kevin buys an old tow truck. Pretty cool.
Dalton builds one from an old family heirloom. Bad Ass!
I’ve got a 58 that I got from my grandfather when I was a freshman, it too is black, 45 years ago, thanks for the video
I had keys to my Dad’s 86 F150 4.9L with a granny low 4speed when I was about 8 or 9. Great memories.
What a great back story to this truck. Glad you got it back and some great memories too.
It’s kinda funny how you and Kevin are both doing tow truck related videos at the same time lol
I can only dream of finding my first car again and teaching my son to drive in it! So happy you have this opportunity
Great story, 2nd generation 2nd revival on the same truck. Good stuff Dalton. You're a good Dad. 👍
I enjoyed seeing you really appreciate buying back this old truck and savoring all the memories you had of it. I could tell you appreciated what a great old work horse it was and still is. What really got me is seeing you let your son drive it, learning how to work the clutch and let it creep along. I was glad to see you make the original engine live again! Bravo!
I’m 16, was working on my first truck and had to replace the dash on it with my dad yesterday, it was a lot of fun spent all day in the lil 98 Sonoma. Honestly idk how kids hate doing these kind of stuff with their dad because I thrive off it
I really loved this. It brought back memories of my dad teaching me to drive stick on a 1957 Jeep pick up out at a bait farm in my hometown that me and my brothers all worked at as our first job. It was really cool to see you teaching JD to drive stick on it, just like you learned on it. Traditions like that are the important things in life, and I think you just created a huge core memory for him. Stuff like this is why I love your channel. I think you should get her running real good and make it road worthy. It should be the channel second mascot next to the Holey Goat. You're a good man Dalton.
Hey Dalton I truly hope you take the time to put that truck back together like you say not a full restoration just to get it back on the road pretty sure everyone on here would love to see that truly happy you got to buy it back not often you get a second chance with your first vehicle love your content always looking forward to your next video
It wasn't ever on the road lol
The pictures of you as a kid working on the truck are Great 👍 Looks just like JD out working in the shop!!
Childhood truck is good to have. I am glad that got it back.
Nostalgia can be a huge motivation. I'm glad you got that one back.
Cool you found the old truck and had pictures to go with the story.
It needs the giant tow mirrors, excellent creation my friend
Keep the truck content flowing
Love the fact you got your boy involved in all of these - hope to do the same with my son as he gets older.
