Good choice with the Fargo. Someone commented that there are even less Fargos' than that...(?) But whatever the figure, there is now (very nearly) one more. They look like DeSoto tailfins. I am so glad to get another look around that yard. Good luck with the resto = )
The Woody Wagon took my breath away! Literally! Absolutely amazing... Epic. I am a brand new subscriber and am binge watching to get up to speed (lol, pun intended). Your channel is fantastic!
We had a 1955 Chevy truck called a cameo it was a pick up with a fiber hoass bed and wrap around windshield, was Honduras mahogany in color a straight 6. Only 1200 made. We sold it quite a few years ago . It still ran, no rust needed to be put back original. Wish I had ot now to sell cheap to you just to see it restored. It was a thing of beauty and would be a rare piece.
You may not be "highly knowledgeable" but you are not afraid to get dirty. That speaks well of you. I wish you the best in your attempt to revive the pick up as it is real rare. By leaving "patina" you can avoid some of the hard work and get it to the shape where you can finish or sell and let someone else build their dream Pretty good video.. Go a little slower on the panning when shooting a broad view.
That Oregon tag is PRIOR to the Pacific Wonderland series that the state is now re issuing. I lived in Oregon for 40 years so it really jumped out at me.
Absolutely love your channel. So happy that you rescues the truck. She will look beautiful when restored. I thought of a win win idea for you. People love photos of these vehicles. Maybe you could take some,post them on your site. Then car collectors will see them and they will buy the photos and possibly the vehicles. I'm new here and binge watching your videos. My dad used to call us " kiddo". Keep up the great work.
The American Dodge Sweptsides from 1957-1959 are rare enough (I think only a few thousand were originally built during the 3 year span - MoPar's answer to the Chevy Cameo, pretty much) - the Fargo Sweptsides from 1957-1959 are the rarest of them all. I understand not keeping it (probably made a decent profit on it as well), but at the very least, it was rescued from further rot and neglect. The bed is what makes these trucks so doggone hard to restore. It's, basically, the lower back of a Dodge 2-door station wagon (tailgate and bumper included) slapped onto the back of a truck, so no cannibalizing just any 1958 Dodge for rust repair - especially since the 2-door wagons are practically hen's teeth themselves! Hopefully, it will live on.....
You never cease to amaze me of what you come across I seen this video there was a terrible Dodge van camper with the extended roof green too bad I live too far away all right be coming to get it and it's probably gone by now but great video thanks.
Glad you saved the Fargo. You should be able to flip it no problem. Good job!! I can't wait to head up to your store with my son's from Calgary. Would be a good excuse for a little road trip. Haven't been to Edmonton in years.
+Tyblorg yes the truck is now sold :) going back there to see about maybe one of the other cars I was interested in! Drop in anytime it would be good to meet you :)
I use to own a 71 Catalina with a 455 it was a big boat that was back in the early 90's I bought it off my little old lady that lived beside me and she had it since new
I hat truck is so beautiful! I want it! I want one of this really bad but I’m no good with that sort of stuff. I’ve always wanted one since I could remember. I love old trucks. Especially the one you just got. So jealous lolz.
Cool I'm glad to see you where able to get the truck I did not realize it was so rare I new it was not a lot of them built but single digits equals big money even like it sits you got your work cut out for you
A woody has always been on my list, but that adds another dimension to the project. I have a 52' Dodge truck, that sweptside is cool, you do that right with the original engine and maybe you should take it to the big auctions like Monterey. I am in SF and I usually go down a week early and cruise by the fenced in lots full of cars going to the block. How many miles on the odometer? I better look and see if you made another video, this was a year ago.
I would love to own a 1958 Dodge Power Giant. Yours probably has a 315 poly. I know of 5 of your truck in a collector's yard in color do. My twin has a 58 power giant and I fell in love with that body style. Good find
Nice score on that Studebaker sign Alex! And a good choice on the Fargo. Well any of those others would have been good choices too that you were looking at. Of course if I was with you I would be dragging out that '53 Stude that you showed the last time you went to that junkyard. lol btw Excellent videos and I'm sure you're not done going to that junkyard.
The Fargo was a good choice. Dodge's answer to the Chevy Cameo truck. No need to explain yourself here. One can buy repop panels and, of course one can always fabricate new parts. Judging by the comments you must have a new set of viewers. I can recall a few videos ago we had a bunch of nay-Sayers. Oh, matching numbers engine/drive train a huge bonus.
Haha, you took the advice and looked again. Like I said before I wish it was closer to me. Hope you do ok with it. We all have the dream of finding the jewel in the rough and restoring it back to glory. You can't do them all, but if you can save them from the crusher you're still saving them. So what if you make money along the way. That's part of it too. You need to get as many as you dare to handle out of there. Long as they can be bought of course.
My brothers built a few when we were growing up they were so much fun. They have a few tracks around here now but they have the fancy ones and they are not as much fun as the original ones.
That is so amazing! I live in a suburb in Las Vegas and there was a canary yellow Dodge swept - side right down the road from me, but I had never seen one or heard of that model and I honestly thought for years that it was something that was built using the fins off of a Chrysler of the same or similar year. I thought it was a great job... NOW I find out that it's a Swept-Side and a factory built truck! I haven't seen that truck in a while but it was really nicely restored. Hope yours ends up that way one day. There's a guy in Australia that makes tail light lens' and back up light lens' for those year Mopars, he's the only place I found that had them in the whole world making new lens'. Probably those lens' also fit other models of that year.
At 9.01 is a Mercury that look very compleat, but down into the ground . At 14.16 to the left look like a 2doors early 50`s Dodge witch are cool cars .
I wonder how many people recognize the Ghostbusters logo on your door and have seen the movie, probably not too many young ones, I saw it in the theater back in the early 1980s. Saw a look-alike at a car show with all the stuff on it, great movie :-)
Likely still filled with Carbon tetrachloride which was a fire suppressant back in the day and toxic. I would have it removed by a professional and cleaned out first
I would love to buy a yard like this; get a few labor ready guys and organize it, build its own web site. and crush the junk that needs to go to get part of my labor and web site cost back. It may; or may not be a good money after that, But it would be fun seeing what you actually have when its all over.
i like going to the bone yards with you i grew up in calif thats a thing of the past there all pick-a-part know ta boot their isnt any old cars butt but anyways keep up the good videos your friend mr ed
The sweptside dodge trucks share the same rear bed side panels with the station wagons which helps find I g rust repair panels easier possibly share with Plymouth wagons also I have a topo wagon and a delivery neither are for sale
@@gerilynntarvin9402 yeah yer probably right I knew it was wagon just I guess forgot which. Canadian cars were combined strangely so sometimes it's either or. Desotos had dodge front ends bla bla. It was beach blanket bingo 👍
right beside the head light canaster at 7:48 is a WWII B17 flying fortress fire extinguisher. its brass I think. I had one hated it didnt know what it was. tried to sell it for years. it wouldn't sell. i picked it up in 1969. finally sold it in 2009. right after I sold it I found out what I had I sold it cheap. NOW I really wish I had it back. another stupid me. saw an old WWII flying movie and the plane got shot up. something caught on fire and they pulled out the trusty pump fire extinguisher and squirted out the fire. sort of. like I said stupid me. go back get it you wont be sorry. WWII stuff sells for good money$! Jim BCC Az
Isn't amazing how we try to sell something for a long time and we finally sell it then we find out how much it really is worth. I can't tell you how many times I've done that whether I sold it or gave it away I could just kick myself.
@@CuriosityIncorporated I haven't seen a follow-up to this did you get it restored? How's it going with the 2 I think you said race cars your friend has had for a year. I can't believe in what beautiful shape that Cadillac you have is. My brother bought a 1963 Cadillac in 1974 when he was working at the dealership last year after three years of working on it and going to five different states it's totally refurbished and is just amazing with the great big fins in the back and it's a kind of a gold color I don't remember the exact name. I had forgotten how big that car was I sat down in it and couldn't even see over the dashboard LOL. He's almost finished refurbishing a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible he drove it in a parade last year. It's green with a tan roof. I absolutely love to seeing these vehicles it's a shame they've been rotting away for so many years. I would absolutely love to have one of the older vehicles to refurbish if I had the money and have a hot rod. My friend's sister has a Model T and a Model A sitting in a giant storage building she had built when they moved everything up from San Antonio from the family garage and gas station that they used to have. She has a bunch of those old glass oil bottles and all kinds of things it's amazing how much is in there and how big that building is.
Just have to wonder what the history is on all that stuff and how it ended up in that yard. I f I were a wealthy guy I would not stay that way long because I would want to buy it all.
Love the Sweptsides. I have a 57 Ddge 100, step side. I was told the 57 Sweptsides are basically, 57 Plymouth stationwagon fenders mounted to the truck bed. My 57 originally came with the 315 V8, and the 2 speed push button transmission like yours. And the fairly rare wrap around rear window. Same cab as the 58, but different front fenders, and front clip. I'm about an hour and a half south of Edmonton, in Red Deer. I'm mostly looking for good trim. Not really any chance of going back to original now. High school project truck with my dad in the early 80's. Last x-mas he was telling me to restore it to factory. But really, we modified it too much. He passed away suddenly last May. If you know of anyone with good clean headlight trim, I think it's stainless. I'm just going to rebuild it, as a tribute. Clean up what we hastily done.
I appreciate the invite. Nothing against Edmonton, but we spent a couple weeks driving to of UA hospital to see dad. Bypass surgery went bad this spring. Have quiet a few relatives up there, so way over do for visits. I need to replay your video, get the information at the end for contact. Check out some of your other videos, and your shop. Vintage Mopar and I'm sold. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
The cars would be nice restored and looking better than what they do sitting there maybe if you would like one day you could come to New York and we can both go up to Canada and we can find a vehicle to restore I'm willing to help out and restore one with you I've seen most of your videos you have posted up with your old ambulance car which looks real
Shoot my choice would have been the little Woody wagon that was in the building, would make quite the little hot rod done as resto mod. Great video ! Nova Scotia
That such a rare find they didn't ship that may Jensens over here. My friends UK are always sending me pictures of ones the spot. We have a running joke about people having my car. Notice my last name LOL😁
+poochie49 I actually bought this one as inventory to sell, but have restored many over the years. You start by researching the right vehicle to buy, then save up the cash! :)
Cool old junk yard just full of classics, thanks for taking us along.
+Tom my pleasure Tom!
Good choice with the Fargo. Someone commented that there are even less Fargos' than that...(?) But whatever the figure, there is now (very nearly) one more. They look like DeSoto tailfins.
I am so glad to get another look around that yard. Good luck with the resto = )
Wow........I wish I lived Closer. Good Videos of this place. Thanks
+ml2trick glad you liked it!
The Woody Wagon took my breath away! Literally! Absolutely amazing... Epic. I am a brand new subscriber and am binge watching to get up to speed (lol, pun intended). Your channel is fantastic!
Thanks Tiffany :)

Thanks lishy! Did you subscribe? ;)
I have been enjoying your videos...thanks for posting them!
My pleasure Ken thanks for watching!
I liked the Dodge swepside. Glad you were able to it.
Lots of projects everywhere lots of hidden treasures their to. What a yard very cool .happy trails take care
+Mike Winkelman thanks Mike!
Really cool that you showed more of the dude I would buy that. Anyway nice Fargo, I didn't realise how rare they are. Cool that you could save it!
+57GMC I figured someone would want to see more of the dude :) thanks for watching!
half a wooden boat!! LOL Amazing the things you find!
+TIM O it’s funny I actually may go back for that boat, they make cool bookcases :)
That's the first thing that I thought of!
Nice buys! Wish I lived closer.
thats a beauty minor panel delivery, i emigrated 22yrs ago to the prairies and am still amazed how well things last out in the boonies.
Thanks again Alex. I didnt find my holy grail but that hood was a much need part. Amazing number of hard to find parts out there.
+Vern Schafer glad you could come! And now I know what you are looking for too in case I come across other stuff :)

+roosty6 Thanks 🙏 glad you liked it!

At 17.43it is a Morris 1000 van,they also did a woody,pickup,convert,and 2 # 4 door sedans.
Great video as always ! you are living the dream.

Thanks Mark will do!

The buick wagon reminds of my dad's old car
Coolest channel ive found in awhile. Awesome stuff

Thanks so much!
Great job i apsolutly love your work! Good luck with project and pls upload more about that truck
We seem to have similar tastes I have a Norton commando , a 1932 Nash and a 1942 Fargo truck
Lots of cool stuff

Just over 4 minutes in there was a red 65-66 Rambler Marlin. Scarce car when new, kind of rare now.
Should grab that Pyrene fire extinguisher in the shelf where you found the headlamp shell.
.
I thought the same thing when I saw that. I wonder if he ever went back and got it. He ended up getting an old one not to long ago.
The cars are great but I'll take the sweet kitty. More my price range lol.
March 2021, Stephen has really grown!
W O W ❗ I'VE never seen or heard of that Dodge pickup before 😲 & I'm a born and raised

Love the 58 Fargo

I hope that '55-'56 Pontiac Ambulance gets saved! I have a 1976 Pontiac Ambulance project. So many neat cars and trucks air hope some get saved!
Good thing that Studebaker sign was broken, looked like a perfect fit in the ambulance lol
LOVE THE DODGE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Jimmy John it’s pretty cool 😎
Personally. I love the 80's vehicles. Built to last, and had power galore. Sad to see that Pontiac holding up another vehicle.

+Danny Boy rough but rare, but the engine looks good and this thing may actually run still!
1950s Fargo truck awesome. If it has a poly V8 better yet. It does look a lot like the Chevrolet Cameo.
Keep up the great videos! Like the Canadian version of American pickers 😆
+Brian Djordjevic Thanks Brian!
Curiosity Incorporated You’re welcome
that old Packard Woody is similar to the one Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd) had.
Haha, you took the advice and looked again. Like I said before I wish it was closer to me. Hope you do ok with it.

+OLD SCHOOL sure did take your advice ;) this is a pretty interactive channel! I’ll try and get a few more if I can swing it! Keep watching my friend!
58 Fargo sweep side.. Way cool!
+Gavin Hunter not many of these out there :)
That mower engine you pointed out looked to be a mcculloch engine commonly used on gokarts would be worth picking up if its any good
+jeep2003 who doesn’t like a go cart?! :)
My brothers built a few when we were growing up they were so much fun. They have a few tracks around here now but they have the fancy ones and they are not as much fun as the original ones.
So cool great job man and cool to have your son with you.
+John Strickland love having the kids with me :) thanks for watching!
John free free qqaaaaaaaa acquaintances get it to go get r45 it gg 1 or go getg5
That is so amazing! I live in a suburb in Las Vegas and there was a canary yellow Dodge swept - side right down the road from me, but I had never seen one or heard of that model and I honestly thought for years that it was something that was built using the fins off of a Chrysler of the same or similar year. I thought it was a great job... NOW I find out that it's a Swept-Side and a factory built truck! I haven't seen that truck in a while but it was really nicely restored.

+MISTERComaToes thanks so much for the lead! My Fargo sold to a fellow who is restoring it, so it will be as nice as your neighbours someday!
They used stationwagon rear quarters on them sweptside pickups.
Nice video and a thumbs up for you.
+bluesharp59 thanks so much! I’m glad you checked it out :)
We have a 1958 Dodge D-100 Sweptside( American version of the Fargo), same color and in about in the same condition.
nice truck you got:)
Fargo is Killer. Hope you are able to get the Fiat woody and the Austin convertible. That nice 70 Cuda probably lasted a day before it found a home.
+Shaun Clifton thanks Shaun! I’d love to buy it all! :)
Love the old car i bet is expensive to fix but is unique is worth every penny 😁
I came for the cars, stayed for the dad jokes.
Beautiful pink adventure ♥️
At 9.01 is a Mercury that look very compleat, but down into the ground .
At 14.16 to the left look like a 2doors early 50`s Dodge witch are cool cars .
That Fargo Dude is also a very rare truck.
That COE @2:55 in the background is a hard one to find, at least here in the states
That volvo was awesome
I love the ES versions, just don’t have room for it right now :(
Fargo truck is nice.....good luck finding the parts you need....trust me there will be some part you have trouble finding
Another young child, omgoodness they have grown
About 30 years ago there was one of these restored in Aldergrove, BC
I wonder how many people recognize the Ghostbusters logo on your door and have seen the movie, probably not too many young ones, I saw it in the theater back in the early 1980s. Saw a look-alike at a car show with all the stuff on it, great movie :-)
It gets a lot of attention for sure, mind you it did even without the logos on the side :)
In that shed without a roof there was a brass pump fire extinguisher cleaned up that's cash
Likely still filled with Carbon tetrachloride which was a fire suppressant back in the day and toxic. I would have it removed by a professional and cleaned out first
if ya bought the topo... good luck finding rear fenders. I am commenting before the end
+Jim E they have everything for it, fenders and all :)
I would love to buy a yard like this; get a few labor ready guys and organize it, build its own web site. and crush the junk that needs to go to get part of my labor and web site cost back. It may; or may not be a good money after that, But it would be fun seeing what you actually have when its all over.
At about 8:50 the 41 Ford isn't a 2 dr sedan, it is a coupe.
i like going to the bone yards with you i grew up in calif thats a thing of the past there all pick-a-part know ta boot their isnt any old cars butt but anyways keep up the good videos your friend mr ed
I have a cab for that sweptside Fargo on a 2 ton, Original 313 v8 4 speed.
Id love buying that small engine u thaught was ffor an old lownmower for project i build. but too bad i live in france
Fun stuff!
+The Shade Tree Fix-it Man thanks for the comments :)
The sweptside dodge trucks share the same rear bed side panels with the station wagons which helps find I g rust repair panels easier possibly share with Plymouth wagons also I have a topo wagon and a delivery neither are for sale
the dodge pickup- swept side panels are off DeSoto station wagons. your welcome.
@@gerilynntarvin9402 yeah yer probably right I knew it was wagon just I guess forgot which. Canadian cars were combined strangely so sometimes it's either or. Desotos had dodge front ends bla bla. It was beach blanket bingo 👍
Although I thought the tacked on find were attached over Plymouth rear sections as DeSoto Chrysler were formed n not an attachment
right beside the head light canaster at 7:48 is a WWII B17 flying fortress fire extinguisher. its brass I think. I had one hated it didnt know what it was. tried to sell it for years. it wouldn't sell. i picked it up in 1969. finally sold it in 2009. right after I sold it I found out what I had I sold it cheap. NOW I really wish I had it back. another stupid me. saw an old WWII flying movie and the plane got shot up. something caught on fire and they pulled out the trusty pump fire extinguisher and squirted out the fire. sort of. like I said stupid me. go back get it you wont be sorry. WWII stuff sells for good money$! Jim BCC Az
Isn't amazing how we try to sell something for a long time and we finally sell it then we find out how much it really is worth. I can't tell you how many times I've done that whether I sold it or gave it away I could just kick myself.
That’s some amazing iron I hope my generation soo pickups on it
I appreciate the pun :)

+justin gray it was super fun! If you’re ever in the area I’d be happy to take you out there!
Have you ever visited that old farm just outside of Penhold Alberta with the huge collection of old vehicles?
Not sure if you just did not show much or if you know where I can some Ford COE mid 50's and pick ups late 50's up to late 70's. or 60's van.
Those saddle bags. Are of a Sears spaceliner .
Good to know!
If Those bags for sale ill buy them
My dad Had an ambulance service, I was taken and picked up several times from and to school in an ambulance
They have beautiful cars I'm from troy new York
+Wesley Bartholomew many would be so great restored! Hello from Canada! 🇨🇦
The cars would be nice restored and looking better than what they do sitting there maybe if you would like one day you could come to New York and we can both go up to Canada and we can find a vehicle to restore I'm willing to help out and restore one with you I've seen most of your videos you have posted up with your old ambulance car which looks real
Nice
Dodge Challenger hood at least, though back looked 'Cuda.. though MOPAR mixed and matched out of the US
great car man
+alley cat thanks! It’s a pretty rare truck to find in a scrapyard
Lmao I am 45 now my mom had an eagle talon when I was 16. She blew the clutch racing down the highways.
Shoot my choice would have been the little Woody wagon that was in the building, would make quite the little hot rod done as resto mod. Great video ! Nova Scotia
we're in Halifax next week! not too far
You must be in Canada. The Fargo is a Chrystler product. In The US that truck would be a Dodge.
+Albert Gallagher yes I am in Canada :)
oh my God....I love it. Please get. It and fix it up so we can go to the journey with you. Then you van adopt me...lol
Please get the woody
Did this get restored? Did you do a video of it? Do you have a picture of the completed restore?
I'd have scarfed that old Jensen-Healy. Cool car!
That such a rare find they didn't ship that may Jensens over here. My friends UK are always sending me pictures of ones the spot. We have a running joke about people having my car. Notice my last name LOL😁
Another great video. I'd love to restore one of those but don't have the technology or means. One question. Where do you start in restoring it?
+poochie49 I actually bought this one as inventory to sell, but have restored many over the years. You start by researching the right vehicle to buy, then save up the cash! :)
