I found a pretty rare truck these days, sitting in a pole barn in western Minnesota. It’s a 1979 Dodge D100, step side, long box, 4 speed. Adventurer? Macho? Power Wagon? Lil Red? Palomino? Custom? I’m sure I’m missing a dozen. Anyhoo, it was supposedly a forest service truck, then went to the farms once retired. It’s been sitting no less than 10 years, but I suspect it’s been more than that. Watch me battle this old classic dodge, as I attempt to drive it home!
*This video was filmed summer of 2020. The footage was on a damaged hard drive, and eventually partially recovered.

Love watching the old videos never gets old.
Walleye guys are using it shallow ! Buy a few . Forward facing an it is alot cheaper !
That was my initial thought. The starters are questionable.
Me, from Tucson AZ, I had a truck like this. I used it to build a short block. Slant six, but lost its compression.
I was all finished and drove it home. Just as I parked it, the engine seized. After talking to my block provider, he suggested that I should call a local mechanic. I did, and was provided another short block for free. The mechanic found the oil pick-up tube installed wrong. I drove it home dry.
It only cost me a nominal fee for hoses and belts. I have learned a lot since then. Take a picture before removing anything.
Some ting wong
What are those tattoos? Chrome dice?
Lookin back at the old videos..the boiled dog vomit with a hint of Twizzlers comment made me laugh out loud! Nothin like VGG vids on a cold and rainy day

My great grandfather was the Charlie Daniels of a torque wrench so he used to buy old trucks from DNR and him and my uncle would fix them up and run them the first truck they fixed together was a 1979 D100 Custom and after fixing it he gave it to my uncle but just recently my uncle gave it to me

Who's back re watching in 2024.
I watch all the rescue videos. I wonder what happens to the trucks after they are brought home ? Do you restore them completely (bodies) or re-sell them ?
I Discussed doing this when I was mid 40's and my two daughters 10ish and 13ish, we never did so V interesting hearing your story 🎉
My old man, construction business, built a Dodge dealership in the early 70s and he bought a sky blue Dodge club cab truck from that customer. The long bed truck had a 318 and a full pipe rack. It was ugly from brand new and the club cab was mainly useful for storing tools. I remember sitting on the fenders with my feet in the engine bay while changing spark plugs and performing other simple maintenance. I learned to drive in that ugly old thing. It was two wheel drive and would get stuck on a wet piece of paper. I remember wishing it would quit but it kept going, mile after mile. Never much of a looker but it took a lot of abuse and kept on going as long as it was on dry pavement.
If you can find an 8' stepside, they're worth a lot.
2024 still going back a watching these goodol videos
OK, pretend you didn't see that and you can…. WATCH IT AGAIN!!! 😂
It’s obvious Derek is really Tom Bodett! “We’ll leave the light in for ya!@
When’s a guy gonna do another ole dodge pickup 🤔
