- Classic Truck Rescue pulls a 1957 GMC truck with 48,000 original miles out of the weeds, My 1959 Chevy Viking 60 develops an engine knock on the way back to the Ranch.

The standard of the mans 55 & 58 Chevys is impeccable in my view. Very fortunate.
Searching for old truck's & car's is like being in a candy store. I LOVE checking out OLD truck's& car's.
pv12261963 I legit can watch this alllllll day long
I am a Ford guy to an extent but when it comes to classic trucks they r all beautiful and amazing. I even recently bought a 65 GMC 4000.
Poor Homer,I like Steve, ❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters
Big Steve is like Family to us.
I agree. Don't get locked into one make. All American made classic trucks, cars, and motorcycles are worth saving!
I just love the old cars and trucks no matter what to make
Us too Kenny. Thank you for being a Channel Member.,
I really want a '50's model truck to make a rollback now!!!! Homer has a ton of power, even with a couple issues. Glad to see these trucks pulled out of the weeds and brush for others to enjoy.
Another Great video! Poor Homer! Get him fix up! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love all old trucks
I learned to drive truck in two old 600's one dump truck and one with a flat bed. I could reach the pedals when I was 10 and used to buck hay with my best friend. We would take turns driving and when we were 14 we drove all over the county for the Retired Sheriff and my friends uncle who shared a hay and horse stable business. We always had a half case of Rainier beer between the seats after we left the field and one after stacking in the barn. We hauled more hay in a day that 3 or 4 kids getting towed around on a trailer. Lots of memories good times.
I like all old trucks and cars
As far as trucks go I'm a Ford guy, like GMC/Chevy, Dodge,Reo, Diamond T. International, Studebaker. They are all worth saving. Grew up with the 55,56,57 Chevy cars, loved them then and still do You guys Keep On Keeping On. Thanks for making me 10 years old again,even if only for a few minutes
rick you need to get on of those roller compacter for you roads at the ranch. don't listen to the haters just let it go in one ear and out the other.
Good advice...Thank you Roy and Thanks Fer Watchin'...-Rick
1948 f6 ford great truck , all vintage truck great
That is definitely my favorite Ford truck style.
Right on!
In 1978 I was a mechanic's apprentice at Mack Trucks. That was the start of my love for trucks. Worked with some really great, smart guys who taught me a lot. It was like working in a mechanical encyclopedia. Love your channel.
I prefer the old Chevy's myself, but all old trucks are cool. thanks fer sharing.
It looked like the dust devils in the background were dancing with joy to see the GMC finally going to a loving home. I bet that Ford sounds fantastic with the flathead V8 blowing through stacks...
I am a Ford man. But I have owned Chevy's also. I agree I like old American vehicles.
I'm a ford guy but I like them ol heavy duty gmc trucks they just have a unique look to them nice find on the ol ford it's in good shape
What a fantastic episode ! Great trucks , great equipment , great people ! Awesome !
Love the ford truck with the stacks. The fact that it has a flathead V8 makes it very cool. Just owning that engine, weather it runs or not is a cool piece of automotive history. That's the engine that revolutionized automotive technology back in the day.
I have a ford dodge and a chevy. They all are loved.
Nice!
You know, I always liked Chevies, but as you said, I don't like getting locked into one brand. Especially these days, because all this old elderly iron has survived this long...I like the forgotten makes, Studebaker, Desoto, American Motors.. These old trucks are all cool, all makes and need to be brought back....
That Ford needs to be restored being that it's in good shape.
I was born in 1952. I can remember when my grandfather bought a new 1957 Chevrolet 1/2 ton step side. My brother and I helped him rebuild the engine. I drove it until 1973. Your videos have special meaning for me. I dream about owning one again.
I live in the uk but love old american trucks so thanks for the channel it makes my day. I was a mechanic for over 25 years but now I take care of my disabled wife but miss working on vehicles every day!!
So true mate you have to appreciate all the old classic trucks great job
Give HOMER an LS Engine. He deserves it.❤
Yes he does....or a Diesel.
@@ClassicTruckRescue Gas LS 8.3
all classic trucks are good stop hating people
Okay, this is CTR when it's best. Im over the moon, about meeting Bob for the first time! That 3-0-2 is real good truck/hot rod material, and bulletproof!
Sad to see homer in the state, looking forward to seeing him brought back. But a re-gear (rear end swap), and keep the migty mouse with a SM465 in it, or a Cummins 12 and a NV4500.The NV4500 came in some Chevys, and also comes in a SAE bell version that fit the Cummins. Make them swap-ready 😜Love the F6 and Flathead too.
i agree a 454 and a sm465 are a great combination. i like the sm465
Personally I like all the old trucks as well Chevy Dodge Ford it doesn't really matter.
As long as it's something old with character I like it.
you are so right, I does not matter what kind of truck it is, it needs to be saved, come on guys, it is old , but it has a history too
sweet truck only 48,000 miles not even run in yet that is a great find good luck with the restoration more vids please
Good old Homer made it all the way back to the CTR. Was worried. Looking forward to some technical videos of Homer’s repairs and possible new engine. May the Truck Gods continue to smile down on old trusty Homer.
I like any thing classic, ford,chevy, dodge,studabaker,vw,hand made,if it has an engine, and wheels,ski s wings,or floats,I like.!!!!!
Me too David. GMC Trucks are my favorite, but I like all old trucks.....Jamie and I love old trinkets too.
Well Jeff is an expert on pull behind graders
good video and your absolutely right about the brand thing if it's old save em
Hey I hope you guy's are all right.
I see there is some bad fires up there. May God be with you and protect you from this. God bless you.
These big trucks are sweet to haul your hot rod or classic on, nothing like an aluminum roll back to bring up the value of big truck
I totally agree!
'evenin, Rick & Jamie; 'Ole-B0B will fit in very nicely. Hoping things work in yer favor for the F-6. Poor 'ole Homer's Gonna git a new lease soon ? Great ending to another Top-Notch Video, Thanks 4 this Friends. Saty Well & Safe ! ATB Terry God Bless
God bless that couple, very nice. I had a 58 Chevy Biscayne before I could drive sold it for the engine to a body shop. My mom's dad had a 58 Chevy Impala or Biscayne that I did my first brake job on with my instructor and grandpa.
Another one saved from rust. TFS
Another great truck rescued. That was a pretty nice for F6 also. Man I could just fall asleep listening to that 55 for hours. My kind of tranquil music.
Thanks to share with us.+
You bet!
Rick..Buffalo Springfield...."for What it's Worth"..what a fantastic song by a supergroup..before there was super groups..rock on..gotta love these old references and ol' trucks!!
Another awesome rescue !!! How about the Ford !!!!!! Great to see yall again lol like the old Manuel hand grader as well !!!! Awesome old equipment !!!!
I am definitely a Chevy guy, But any old American steel is worth saving. I have a couple of friends that are Ford guys. We give each other a hard time some times, but it's all in fun. Chevy, Ford or dodge. If you take care of them that they will last.
Homer DESERVES a overhaul Mr. Rick! Ms. Jamie I am like you I shed a tear when I seen Homer's rear was smoking up and hearing that rod knock. PLEASE fix Homer and bring him back to the task force you have.
Sweeeeeeet!! 1957 Chevy Bel-Air & 1958 Impala Great Paint JOBS! Rick here my home town Qualicum Beach B.C. there's a 1958 Chevrolet Impala 2 door Black on black black inter. & it's original Paint to i think it was again at are 2016 father's day car show.w
I 100 % agree with you there Rick ..I like fords,but i also like the old chevs and dodges .they have style. vehicles now days are blah .👍
Well said!
Right old truck's and car's what ever the make are cool. Nice 55 chevy the 58 was not bad cool car's
I love all old trucks
You've got to love every piece of classic old American equipment. Once they're gone they're gone :-(
Mopar fan but like at all I love the fact that you save GMC because it’s different
I love any kind of old truck any make any model it doesn't matter old trucks have a lot of character compared to the new trucks today. I am glad you are out there actively saving them. Two thumbs up!
Thank you for letting us hear the 55 Chevy it was great.
Rick i like your videos. I like old vehicles but ilove 53 Gmc5 window 3100 i drove one 15years i sure miss. Can you find me one
My phone number 940 347 0260
Any beautiful old truck is worth saving.
Stop everything and fix Homer!! He's earned it!!
Right
I honestly believe , When you want some thing so much in your life . It will and does come your way . so think big ! and reap your rewards Rick . Ray in Pa.
I agree with you 100% on saying it's just crazy to be locked in to just one make. Life is too short to be that closed minded. I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to cars,it doesn't matter who made it or where it was made. If I like the car,and can afford to buy and rebuild it. I'll buy it.
I agree Rick doesn't matter what make it is if it's old it's cool, same with cars in my opinion. ....
That was cool how you noticed the tanker and made the connection with the movie "Duel" starring Dennis Weaver. I don't know why but I loved that movie. Ol Dennis driving that 4 door Valiant. I guess that's before they out lawed road rage. LoL
You loved it because you were rooting for the underdog, like me. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
love all old truck s
Rick and Jamie scored.. Nice job Jamie..
Like that you look and get the different truck makes to save them. Keep it up.
that old 50s ford beside those steam rollers is a very nice truck.
I will say again, wish I had this many 50s trucks floating around NE Tennessee.
On that 50 Ford.....Id be interested in that cab & front clip!
It's Classic Truck Rescue. Does that really seem like a truck that should be parted-out to you? I know everyone thinks the larger trucks make good donors for pickup builds.....but Really? That ain't a truck that should be parted-out. Thanks fer Watchin'. -Rick
That's my dream truck
hey its cool that you look at both old Ford and GM trucks .. and any other old classic trucks.. you rock on your videos
We appreciate all old trucks. Thank you my Friend and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Classic Truck Rescue , Yes you know those bee's don't bite this time of year!
Wow.. beautiful Chevy God bless
Great find Rick. That Homer is one work horse. I love them old tow trucks. Thanks for the videos.
Chevy, Ford, Dodge, International,
Who cares as long as it is not a Prius!
Just saw the last half of the video and it warrants a second post! Nice car collection that Gentleman has and I think a big block(plus brakes!) would be perfect for poor old Homer.
Really gorgeous truck for hot rod, rat rod, restore whatever.
We agree!
I'm gonna have a good day now!...Thanks Rick!
Homer was rattling and smoking, but still he's running and completing the job. It doesn't get better than that! I trust he'll be fixed, so no worries.
i like that there ol yeller dump truck too.
great find another good truck
like the f600 too
good ol heavy equiment is hard to come by unless u know the right guy and the right field. Nice F600. Ya oughta get that road plow though lol Duel is one of my fav movies.. and they restored the truck.
I love that old Ford but I. Like you I love all old trucks and cars
Poor Homer he has earn his keep take care of him
It`s a good thing you are purchasing and removing this truck, with all the dampness and moss growing and the truck sinking into the ground/mud , cancer would do take it over and major rust and rot damage would be just a few years away. This was truly a classic truck rescue.
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Seth Braydon Instablaster =)
@Nathan Uriel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Nathan Uriel It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass !
@Seth Braydon No problem :)
Don't listen to haters bro. And may I say your better half Is hot and great personality ❤️👍🏼🇺🇸
RicK...lol..loved the sharp eye catch on the "Duel" tanker..and yes..it surely looks like the beast that bellowed as it rolled off the cliff....did you know that was Spielberg's first movie direction? anyways....great video..loved the old Ford too...Peace..Rich
We have a 57 GMC "That's what Ive always been told" Its a 2 ton farm truck with grain box and hoist. Hasn't been started in a few years. It has a small inline 6. Ours has the push pedal beside accelerator to engage starter ad also a vacuum 2 speed selector on left side of dash. Our grille is different than the one your videoing. Sure do have a lot of memories driving that old pig, never had any power super low up the hills and hang on down the hills. Lots of play in steering and 99 percent of the time no brakes. I enjoy your videos.
Your description of what its like to drive some of these old guys is spot-on accurate. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Nice find!
Thanks!
I like old Ford trucks! Please make more videos of old Ford trucks.
Will do.
I'm like You Rick any old truck in great shape is nice .
Them old rollers and graders you guys checked out just looked like giant Tonka Trucks!
Seeing Homer smoking in the field.....brought tears to my eyes........He has been a work horse for the CTR, and he deserves a little R&R....a nice big block and a fresh red and white paint job. Have you ever thought of getting some door signs made for him? May I suggest a circle with Classic Truck along the top and Rescue along the bottom and a cartoon character of Homer big and bad hauling butt to the next rescue in the middle.....just a thought. Loved all the new trucks....even the FFFFFFFFFord......just kidding...take care my friends!
Fords are great stop hating
Sorry fella, I though it was clear in my post I was kidding....LOL!
Nope
Earnharvick
Yup! He says in absolutely so many words that he is kidding. Kidding is not the same as hating. He made his joke, then he made sure that all you morons who want to get butt-hurt were aware that it was nothing more than a joke. If you want to call that "hating" then you're probably a hater yourself... Look in the mirror when you say the word "hater'" and/or "hating"!
As the old saying goes, "I would rather shove a Chevy than drive a Ford!" and I agree with that phrase overall, but I drive an 18-year-old Ford Ranger (her name is Jezebel), and wouldn't sell her for less than DOUBLE her KBB value! Any other questions?!?!?!?
love the classic ford truck with stacks! make me a great work truck!!
Mate, you really need to make all your viewers happy and find a big ol Dodge Bighorn!!!!
So, are we talking about a New Bighorn that will require a loan or an old Bighorn that will require a Commercial Driver's License? Can't we just call this one that I rescued a few months ago a Bighorn? th-cam.com/video/oJO4PCWuo-g/w-d-xo.html Because I am most definitely not a Mopar-Hater.
Hey Rick I'll personally vouch that I have NO PROBLEM with picking up 1950's Ford trucks. People have to realize that your business is being able to make money from this and Fords of certain years are very popular and collectable. Good score on this GMC and the Ford....Lee G
I once found a neat old 55 gmc equipment hauler, wanted to buy it and told my Dad about it thinking I could borrow some cash to get it. He said no, you don't want no 55 GMC the dang motors are one of a kind in-line sixes that year, they run in reverse direction that year. Ahh perspective, to me that made it special along with the reverse snorkle mirror in the roof so you could see the equipment was still secure on the back. Sad, part before I could get the cash together a biker group that rented a building on the property lite a pile of pallets on fire and burnt the motor all the way into the firewall. Didn't leave much. But what a truck. !!!
I came across your videos yesterday and I realized that you live in Oregon, so did I. I use to live in a small town called Milton-freewater. I grew up with ford trucks and I'm not against them at all. I do like all the old trucks back in the 50's to late 70's.
Good old soldier, that one didn't stop till the mission was complete. Rick will get him all fixed up.
Let me see here Rick. Steam roller?. I know, growing up that what everybody called them. They are known as roller compactor, soil compactor and toe SMOSHER !!. A lot of interesting fixer upers equipment on that asphalt property. poor Homers tired. Thanks fer showin those chevys. Mighty kind of you. See you guys on the next one. TTFN...
Time to Ls Swap That Tow Truck Won't Regret That 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
Well. Thank you very much mister Lsboxchevy ryda89 . Do you have any photos of a truck you've put an LS into? Because your channel photo is just a donor car.....step it up Brother.....if yer gonn'a start Coaching.
@@ClassicTruckRescue 🤔 dude really 😑 for a person to be a car man you should know there's different car cultures I'm in the works of my swap taking care of other things before I take my engine and transmission out + I want to have them sold when I take it out... 50k original miles to the box Chevy culture I know what my s*** worth... just put a panoramic roof in it... it's my project to keep me doing something keeps me out of trouble and with kids they love this I got something old coming nothing your speed them trucks cool different Strokes for different folks I Watched a few videos I Like what you do but seems you can't never debate too well never talked about your cool tow truck just thought it would be a huge upgrade to the yard excellent fuel economy performance... hey who gives a f... 🤷🏽♂️
