That 318 engine in the old Dodge camper was one of the best engines Chrysler ever built. The old slant six was a good one also.
Are you flying a drone and driving a loader at the same time? Skill baby
That dodge camper will be so cool when it has been restored. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Hey Silas, your channel is one of my favorites! Every day it's like a junk treasure hunt! I'm still amazed that you do all that work alone and your work ethic is second to none! Keep it up!!
Just want to thank you for saving the old cars and trucks I really enjoy watching I wish they was more people like you that save history and giving the old cars and trucks a chance to be brought back to life I hope you have good day and my God bless you and yours
Keep doing what you doing I love it. God bless you and your family.
Metal detecting in old junkyard fields would be a lot of digging old lights and bolts and screws. But as you say "who knows" you mite get that lucky rare coin!!
Supposed to be weights damn auto correct!
I have a fantastic rest of my day after I watch one of your vids Silas. I collect old VW's and used to have Opels. I also used to get letters from the city I cannot have a dozen cars in my name parked out front lol! I need to move out of the urban setting I am in. I need to alter my adventure. Thanks for the inspirational words.
Cutlass motor is an Olds of some variety, the oil fill gives it away.
403 Olds motors were a 1977-1980 thing, and also used in some Pontiac cars.
Really like the drone footage you running the loader around
Yes get that metal detector . You are so cool and I just love watching your channel keep them coming.
Well done and thank you for your TH-cam videos. I am watching you all the way over in Ireland
Awesome video! You ever think about selling sets of the aluminum wheels? Looks like you have some nice 80's,90's and early 2000 wheels in pile! 76 Oldsmobile Cutlass looks cool, make someone a good project? Maybe Mr Goodpliers would be interested in it? 403 V8 was used in alot of Pontiac firebirds! You can always tell Oldsmobile V8 by oil fill spout in front of engine! My father had 60's Oldsmobile V8s. Take care.
freedomVessel looks like an expert on that exact company of class c motorhome!
Very good hands!
It's a shame about the condition of the Cutlas. I always loved the styling of the waterfall grill and the body color rally wheels.
With the warmer weather coming, and daylight savings time soon, would a couple high schoolers be interested in busting down
those tires and wheels ? As an incentive, a payment plan based on how many they do might help you out and clear the pile.
That camper is pretty cool. It doesn’t have to be real big for weekend camping. I’ll be following to see how the guy fixes it up. In the meantime , have a great day and have fun!
That Cutlass, man that's too bad it sat so long to rust like that but they were good for it!
The 403, nobody is going to want that. The 350 had a lot more guts.
Center console might be wanted, bucket seats too. Looks like the glass was good, I think 73-77 are all the same for glass.
Thank you for all your educational and entertaining videos!
Have a fantastic day!
I love your videos this is the second one I watch I love hearing you talk very well spoken
Be nice to see the camper when it’s done, metal detecting sounds good Silas, cheers🍻
Another great video! Keep them coming!
I've never seen a camper Van like that before. It's cute. Not too big and not too small. Just right. Freedom Vessel guy seems like he knows a lot about the Balboa Dodge. Wonder why they stopped making it? Hope he makes a video showing him cleaning it up and restoring it. Glad it got a new home.
24:16 I absolutely understand you! Its so much nicer to have somewhat Nature around instead of all these dead concrete deserts and dusty flats.
Your the hardest working video blogger on TH-cam!
The 350 and 403 Olds motors are hard to just look at to verify what it is. The fuel pump location is a give away that it is a Olds motor. The casting numbers are the only way to figure it out. But the valve covers, and intake will fit either engine. Pontiac did use the 403 in the Trans Am as the 6.6 Liter engine option. I'm picking a '78 Trans Am tomorrow for my boss. It has the 6.6 in it. I'll be gutting the car and replacing the complete wiring harness in it cause the critters got it in and chewed it all up.
The oil fill tube was the giveaway clue for me
The oil fill like that gives the Oldsmobile up, there all built that way. 250 v8- 455.
Your success is due to the fact that you are an awesome dude.
I didn't live so far away I'd bring a couple detectors out and we'd have a blast just going through all that crap
That camper is sweet silas ,i like how many kool old cars you have in your yard your fire pit you made from tractor rims is awesome mate im watchin your progress on the school bus too great content .
If you do get a metal detector please do a vlog on the process. Many folks are thinking the same and need he tutorial. You are a teacher. thank you for such a great vlog.
Your channel is very enjoyable because you are a humble person and your content is good stuff. It will become increasingly difficult to remain humble as you become more and more popular. I hope your personality survives the changes. Oh, and nice mountain of rims, wow!
Like Twisted said earlier, the Oldsmobile 403 was used in the 6.6 Litre Trans Am (late '78 thru '79) but only in automatic transmission models. The Pontiac 400 was used in the 4-speed models. The 403 was also used of course in Oldsmobiles full size cars of that era (the 98 and Delta 88) to get away from the larger Olds 455 used until the mid '70's. Enjoy your video's sir!!
There was a big flap over it and GM got sued. "I bought X brand of car but it had a Z brand engine, I was ripped"
So strange to think just a decade later nearly every FWD car had the same 3.8 V6 and no one thought twice. They all got over it pretty quickly
The tire place I get scrap and my 55 gallon drums from has a tire cuter...he cuts his tires in four or 5 pieces and he says he's allowed to put them in the trash dumpster, just not allowed to do it when they whole...just a thought. Luv the videos...keep em comin.👍👍👍
Can you burn tyres in a fire pit? Or do they smoke too much?
@@angry9901 tire burning is prohibited here....
@@angry9901 burning tires is a major fine
Get a big smelter, pour aluminum bricks.
@@foolnfish you don't even need a big smelter. We meltdown aluminum rims once twice a year we do it out at my property we sure brush out there and have a giant brush and tree fire and just keep keeping rims on there and by the next day they'll melt down into one big chunk of aluminum dash and charcoal doesn't stick to it we used to use a smelter takes too long to cost too much aluminum rims or just cast it doesn't take much to melt them down.
Salis that was great as always loved it all and that the tires is something new enjoyed it all as always never miss a video thank you for sharing and your time was really great 👍
Word travels fast when you have a great channel. I really enjoy the variety of things you do in every video. Keep em coming my friend. Have a great week. Thanks
Another great video,thanks Silas for the time you spend makeing these adventures for us. You are doing a great job, keep it up.
Silas, I have enjoyed every single video you have made, KEEP UP THE ADVENTURES!
Silas if you have a cattle farmer or feedlot that does silage maybe they would take a bunch of those old tires to hold down their tarps. Just a thought
Should turn the bus into a Partridge family bus make it just like the TV show and offer it up for sale LOL
it is good that one will save the Dodge it deserves a new life and hopefully long. Cutlas and Dodge is cool names 👍
Have you ever considered having a death row section in your yard?
Put there vehicles, (or parts like fenders - bumpers, etc.). Put there vehicles that people seek as project cars or donor vehicles for their projects.
You show you are very computer capable so have a website featuring your death row vehicles and parts. You don't show enough room to keep a large inventory stored so post and execution / scrap date.
You may make some more money than scraping them and help save some vintage vehicles.
I just went over to the channel of the guy who got the Dodge camper, and he's got a restoration video of it up, it turned out awesome, the last shot shows him driving it.
Oldsmobile engines have the oil fill tube at the front of the engine like the one you have . Pontiac engines have valve cover oil fill caps.
I make videos of my 1953 Pontiac and cruising in Stockholm and old cars gatherings .
I bring my camera when a do my daily adventures if find scrap in the woods or work on my Pontiac .
From April until September we have cruising for old cars in the city of Stockholm the last Friday of every month so am always there .
I help my old mother do her garden-work now when she is 87 years old, and i like that work .
Metal detecting! That would be so cool. Love it all Silas. Can’t wait for mushrooming!
Hey Silas the Olds Cutlass came with both the 350 and the 403 Olds motors the easiest way to tell the Olds Motors from the pontiac motors is the oil fill tube sticks up on right side of the timing cover on the Olds motors (also as a fyi the Olds 350 and the 403 use the same block different internals also a super cheap hop-up is to install the 350 heads on the 403 lower ends) The pontiac motors had the oil fill on the valve cover also wanted to let you know the the center console cars were very rare and they also had the option to have the front buckets swivel so look for a release lever on the front of the seat off center towards the center console
You put a fire under us about the spring dates. We need to get hopping!
Epic wheel pile
Take the Cutlass front Waterfall grill for a wall hanger!
Very cool design element!
Enjoying the drone views. No matter the size of space it's human nature to fill it with stuff. Crush that junk and open it up. You'll get more.
Thank you, Silas, for what you do.
God bless you dude
I always enjoy watching your videos I would love to explore salvage yards again there aren't to many left
Here in British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 all tires have a recycle fee when you have used tires just drop them off at the nearest tire shop . They have to take them no charge . When you scrap a vehicle they don’t want the tires your discounted if you leave them on they have to remove all tires before shipping
Enjoyed the video 76 cutlasses have round air conditioner Vents and 77 has Square AC vents, yes a 403 olds engine 79 to 80 Trans Am and 79 to 81 Olds 98 Regency
Good stuff Silas ! Thank you for sharing your journey !! God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy
Love the car videos you put out they are my favorites.
really cool to see what new things you find day to day and what you have to do to get things done
You made my night! Thanks
I use to work at a recycle yard they always broke down the wheels they would make a easy 8 million a year off them but mind you they had a tire shredder machine but only charged 40 a ton when you brought it in
With the oil fill in front it is an Oldsmobile engine. Still good parts on that and hard to find. It is a 76 olds cutlass salon!
Yeah later on I figured out that it is a 403 Olds out of a Pontiac. GM liked to swap engines around back then.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch cool, I have a 403 I’m my 77 442. The 76 top engine would have been a 455. Then in 77 the top engine was the 403. Great parts still on that car! Don’t crush it!!
Look forward to your videos. Keep them coming.
You need to invest in a wheel crusher to speed up getting the tyres off and reduce the number of dumpsters you fill up.
Those cutlass seats should be captains chairs or swivel buckets. Pretty good market for them.
True story, a guy I met once wanted to get into scrapping junk. The yard quoted him a price for clean aluminum wheels and dirty ones.
"Now I don't know why that would make a difference, but I took them in to my bathtub and scrubbed them down before I hauled them in," he said with dutiful obedience
I’ve had people as me why I want stuff washed before as well 😆
Another cool video! Take care Mr. Silas!
I just love your videos keep them coming your so honest and such a hard worker 😊
Gettin there Silas! Love how you are showcasing the cars & trucks, vans for sale. Seems like it’s lucrative.
Great video silas, keep'um coming..
I agree its a 403 , one of the more tame engines that were used , i think the 350 had a bit more HP , these were more for emission compliance.
I believe it's the 350 rocket, a buddy had one.
your make Awesome videos Silas I would watch any thing you post take care and thanks for sharing your life with us .watching from Eastern Ontario Canada
Stumbled across your channel a couple o'months ago...
... good vids...may the Great Spirit keep blessing you...
I really enjoy your videos laid back awesome demeanor.
Silas I'm in eastern Nebraska. I'm always looking to buy 70-71 Ford Torinos or 73-79 Ford pickups if you find those. Thanks enjoy your videos, keep up the good work 👏
That engine is definitely a 403. You can tell from the oil fill being in the front of the block and the shape of the valve covers.
Pontiac put a 403 olds in some of the late 70's trans am's may be a transplant
Good thing they make panel replacements for those old trucks
SURE DONT KNOW HOW YOU CAN WORK THAT JOB...THERES SO MANY GOOD UNITS COME TO YOU & YOU GOT TO CRUSH THEM..CUS UR NOT A MUSEUM....ECT...
IT WOULD SO BREAK MY HEART....
BUT MANY THANK YOUS FOR UR VIDEOS & UR COMENTARY..
GOD BLESS....
WOW there are so many good wheels there
Our shop once swapped a 403 carbureted Olds out of an Olds station wagon into a 1977 Cadillac Seville. We used the 350 Seville heads because the Seville was fuel injected. All that was needed was to enlarge the position pin holes on the heads slightly so they dropped on. It was a great combination and cruised at ninety like nothing. On a side note the Cadillac Seville was a Chevrolet Nova body in disguise and if you changed out the radio the car would not run because the fuel injection computer was a part built into the radio. Go figure who that genius was. Maybe a politician?
stay safe mate another top program
Fun times. 🙏
76 Cutlass Salon, I have one just like it. I will post a link to this video on the Facebook group for 73-77 Cutlass. You might pick up some subscribers and maybe even some parts hunters.
There's almost certainly a flying lady or a greyhound or winged something buried out back there. Or several
I wonder if that Olds Cutlass has swivel front seats . The chrome handle on the side makes me think it does . They are a cool option .
Your videos are great. I enjoy them from Suffolk England
Love the video Silas
Thank you for the explanation on the tires. I often wondered why you left all the tires on the rims. EPA is a good reason to leave them on.
man i'd love to come down from canada and buy stuff from you
Where in Canada
I’m in Moncton New Brunswick
Silas the white cutlass is a Old eng you have...It may be a 403 that Pontiac used in early 80's trans am's...but its an Olds motor..you can tell by the oil spout...FYI
Dear Mr. Silas
Please kindly allow me to suggest something that can help you processing rims with tires (aluminum and steel):
If I remember correctly, Johnathan W. built a kind of tire/rim crusher some time ago on his channel. Anyway: I guess you can use any common log splitter to crush the rims. So it would be much easier and way faster to separate rims and tires than with a tire mounting machine. The crushed rims are also not as interesting for thieves as whole ones are. Only two things you probably have to modify = the hight of the cutting wedge and the hight of the pushing plate.
Best regards, luck and health to all of you.
I hope he reads your comment! He sounds very BUSY!!
Another great video enjoyed 👍
Silas- Thanks a bunch for returning my email. Keep up the awesome content and find me a 58/59 GMC bed/body!! God bless!
Love your Attitude
403 olds . Oil fill in center of front of block. Only thing with those 77 -8 transam had those in bandit edition
I always enjoy your videos
Olds engine in the Cutlass
That 50s L series IH is super solid!! IMO those are the ones you should be saving, they dont make patch panels for those like the do all the C10s and such and its really hard to find good parts like on that one.
This is a neat old rv
great video
Woe you even have an old jaguar there 😮
