- Join in with the Restored Crew as they pack up the truck and take off to pick up some rare classics. After winning the bid on 5 jewels, the team travels to Graham, Texas to see what it will take to bring these ol' machines back to the shop. Upon further inspection, the guys realize they might have bit off more than they can chew and have to call in some "back up" from a few buddies including @Crossthe_line in hopes to get these iron giants back home. Will the crew be able to load these monsters back home or are these rare classics permanently planted where they sit?

I KNOW that logging truck: Driven by a guy name "Roger" for an oilfield data logging company called, " Buckeye Well Surveys" owned by Chuck Withey in Louisville, Ohio in 1983. It was my first job fresh out of engineering school. We would drop custom made data logging tools down freshly drilled wells then a radioactive nugget placed inside the tool would enable the sensors to ping-back a signal enabling the geologist to determine variables such as salinity, shale etc. All of the trucks shared that unique color combination and angled graphic layout.
I STILL have an un-opened box of coffee mugs from the company Christmas party from 1983.
I hope they see your comment.👍
I came to the comments just to see if anyone knew what it was used for. Thank you!!
Why do you know so much about its origin and history?
EVERYBODY THAT I KNEW THAT ''PLAYED'' WITH NUGGET'S ''' PASSED 'A' WAY ''WAY BACK '''' MR JAMES '' OKLA... ''GLAD TO HAVE YOU AROUND '' .SIR.
Wow… what a cool story
Being an old truck driver like myself, these trucks are way before my time but wow!! Those are some of the coolest trucks I’ve ever seen, thank you for the great content. God bless you and your family.
You know what, you are really lucky your dad is always with you. Keep on bro.
Brings back memories for the most of us. Thankful for not only Godly dads, but ones who enjoy projects and spending time with family.
Yes they have an amazing relationship, (they are both very fortunate).. it is the backbone of their videos.❤
I'm a splicing technician working for The Company Formerly Known As Bell of Pennsylvania, as well as a gearhead and telco history nerd, so I love to see any old Bell truck out and about.
The first truck you fellas you showed looks like it was used for loggin data on a drilling rig .Very COOL group of trucks.
Found some info about the periscope on the roof:Telephone trucks had this periscope in the cab roof so that the driver could operate the winch controls and watch what was happening in the back of the truck.
It would also have been handy for seeing if the top of the trailer was clearing. There would have been a huge amount of low clearances back in those days.
They had a mirror turned sideways, so they could flip it up and down. They could see the ginpole and the telephone pole being lifted.
That makes sense.
@@BRTowe thats what i said two days ago but there would have been multiple things people found it handy and convenient for use back in the day.. this is what we used it for on the farm in the
Ol pete
The one truck was for running downhole tools on oil and gas wells. A variety of tools were used in the logging process.
That "Log" truck would make a superb camper van with blendable (roller shades) plexi glas insert in the roof for that sky-view experience.
The old truck and trailer for sure...it's a piece of American History that needs to be saved!
fully restored to original as it was when it was born
Not a unit , the truck was a line and pole setter for ma bell and the trailer was a furniture van, Now the Combine sleeper unit and the furniture van would make a sweet setup. You could put a service body on the bell truck, it would be a cool service truck.
Mayflower Van Lines had those side doors and the trim down the length of the trailer.
It would make a great rebuild and love to her back in action
Interesting to see that old tractor-trailer setup. I used to drive trucks for a living and I can only imagine what it must of been like to drive that set up over the road or regionally, hauling freight. They were some tough drivers. It wasn't uncommon back then for those types of trucks to be used for that and the driver had no sleeper. He would throw a board over the seats and sleep on it, sleep in the trailer, or whatever he could make resourceful. We sure have come a long way in trucking. BTW, the old White truck you loaded, the back was not storage, it is the sleeper there was a mattress for the driver back there.
At the age of 63, I was fortunate enough to take the trip of a lifetime driving through England, Wales and Scotland on a pilgrimage to find my family roots. In the 11th century, my ancestors accompanied William the Conquerer on his ‘trip’ to England. They settled in the Wye River Valley and one of them became the Warden of the Forest Dean. The headquarters was in a castle in the town of St. Briavels which commands the high ground overlooking the valley. Driving our nondescript Vauxhall up to the castle on the winding one lane road, when I saw an amazing sight coming down towards me. A beautiful BRG Jaguar E type piloted by a very white haired, scarfed, flat capped gentleman! Could not have been more perfect for me!😊
1:17 that truck & trailer combo would be perfect for my business! Incredible!
The logging truck is an old oil field wireline logging truck. Used to be a big drum with cable on it. They run tools down in wells and record the data. Companies like Schlumberger and Haliburton still have versions of it today.
My dad ran one for 25 years
@@gameovr17 mine as well, he worked for slb for 30 years as a wireline eng in Ak
@@AlaskaDiesel mine was in Arkansas and all the states around. Then his last couple years worked for Schlumberger in Weston West Virginia
My brother used to work for Schlumberger on the slop.
Thanks 👍👍 cool rig!!
I like the old truck and trailer. I’ve always liked those snub nose cabovers.
That logging truck is the panicle of aerodynamics 😂
Pinnacle* lol

@@M.TTT.You sure? I think the wallet might agree Panic-le. Lol
@@TenheadLife lol good one
I'm in need of your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate my health journey.
Note: If y'all drag something heavy, Duck down, If the cable snaps..... It'll take ya head clean off in a blink of a eye!
Is that what happened to You?
@@delwhylie4748 There's a reason a lot of 4x4 winches are changing to synthetic line from steel wire.
Heavy wreckers and cranes use a different type of steel cable that are less prone to snapping.
😅😅😅😅
Got to be a scot
I have one of those Ford cabovers. Have had it since the 1980s and got mine from New Mexico. Mine was an AT&T telephone truck originally and had a huge service body on it. Mine has the same mirror attachment on the top and was used for seeing clearance for poles or whatever. You stated in the video, this cabover truck was also a telephone truck. I don't have any pictures of mine showing the service bed body on the back. Mine doesn't have the rear window cut out like that but does have a sliding window fabricated there..
The old White semi is my favorite but also love the other semi and the trailer
I can't pick a favourite I'm just gonna watch em all. Take care and God bless you all
Would love to see "will it runs" on all of these! Love the dodge and the cabover!
Unfortunately they are likely going to rot away in a new place, just like the other similar stuff they have rotting away 😕
I'm pretty sure the trailer is a 1940's Allied Van Lines trailer based on what color is left and that black band around it. Low slung with barn doors on rear and curbside only. I'm thinking the first cab you pulled up may have possibly the mate to it. The Bell COE which doesn't go with that trailer possibly had the roof mirror for low bridges but I think it may have been also for pole or aerial phone line installation. Looks like an old gearbox and mount for some kind of lift arm. Also the possible reason for customized, over sized rear window. I live in Canada but worked for Allied when I was young and Bell Canada. Brought back some memories. Cheers!
Yes sir I would agree that the moving van would be an Allied unit.
That Logging Truck is for Logging Oil Wells. After it's drilled they send Probes down the Hole to record how straight the Well is.
On the rear of the logging truck there was a winch installed, with a drum of electric cable. This was used to run a series od electric/electronic tool downhole in oil and gas wells. This is to log and record a number of physical parameters of the rocks. This technology was invented around the 20's in Alsace, and is still in use today
Hi,well done, Sonia & Curtis.
Very glad you enjoyed it,and you'll be back for more. Really took me back, all my years in meter-taxi/travel & tours career in Cape Town & the peninsula.
💯%🙏 Love & Respect to you
You guys got some really cool stuff at this auction. One thing I love about you guys is that you take an interest in the kind of stuff that doesn't usually get saved. There aren't many people out there saving the old utility vehicles like this. I love stuff like this, and it is nice to see some of this stuff getting saved. There are thousands of muscle cars out there, but these are the vehicles that are truly rare.
Gern wäre ich Live dabei, doch in Deutschland ist es mitten in der Nacht.Deshalb nehme ich alles auf.Vielen Dank für die erstaunlichen Auffinden dieser Raritäten aus Deutschland.Viele Grüße an das Team❤.
Wyatt and Lance , you got some serious projects in this old Iron. Should keep y’all busy for quite awhile. Just you Men
Trying to recovering these is job. Always love your videos. It was a Full days work just on the recovery.I like the cab over and the old Dodge.
I absolutely love that Wyatt has been so humble toward, and supportive of Lance. Lance, you have a special relationship with your father. You were very lucky to have your Uncle Frankie in your your younger life too. My father was a miserably self centered only child! So he became less flexible as he aged!! What a miserable existence.😐
The IH/White truck's extended cab is actually a sleeper! 😁 What I would do is put a modern drivetrain under it and build that trailer into an RV! 🤔
Man that cabover is a work of art. Please please please more content like this!
That truck and trailer and the snubby nosed camper looking thing...the metro might is exra special too. The periscope is to let the driver look at the load while operating the winch, possibly unloading telephone poles or heavy cable equipment rolls by himself.
That "logging" truck is a really old wireline truck used in the oil and gas industry. The hole in the back of the truck had a huge spool with cable on it. They call them loggers because you would attach different tools to the end of the cable and lower those tools down into the gas or oil well and that tool would take different readings about the well depending on what kind of tool that was attached.
I'm believe that trailer is a moving and storage trailer used for transporting household goods. It is essentially a drop frame trailer and with the side doors and rear doors opening like they are it would be the unit that would show up when you are having your household furniture and such to be moved. Of course that is an art deco design and it of course is to present a modern clean operation which is to show the customer that the company will handle their belongings with care. The parking brakes on those old trailers are of the air applied when the unit is parked (not spring brakes as in modern trailers). Experienced truck drivers of the time knew to chock the trailer tires as the air bleeds off on that type or parking brake and when you go to get under that trailer it can roll away from you. I do not go back that far but I have had a couple of units that had that style of parking brakes. Pretty cool deal. Set it up to be coupled with that White tractor. That White would represent a period sleeper for the times. Some one who restores those older tractor trailers would really go to town on that rig. Sadly the White has a lot of the drivetrain missing but you can't have everything. That Dodge is really cool (that's a pilot house cab) and the International Metro is really cool and could have been a delivery truck for packages such as UPS although it is a little big for that. Cool stuff you got there.
The log truck is going to be cool when you fix it up, but that semi with a lowboy will be even cooler.
Thanks for the show.
Man ! You guys picked out a bunch of work with those brutes ‼️
This is the time when you wish you had a huge forklift available to load those vehicles. Those winches deserve a huge round of applause!
Wow I can’t believe you’re loading the whole rig and trailer. 👍
The channel title is Restored, but the videos are mostly about the evacuation process. I'm really tired of watching it, I thought about the video of the restoration process.
Cry about it. Go watch overhaulin.
Mama taught me if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all
@@starionslider2116Or maybe the channel name shouldn’t be a blatant lie.

This was an early Christmas gift for me. 😊 I ❤ these old workhorses which were from the decade just before my birth but existed well into my late childhood.
Telephone guys usually started out somewhere as a "Lineman", which are the guys who go out and just string up miles of cable, from pole to pole. After being a lineman for a while he has the opportunity to refine his skills and go into another sector of the Bell System as a local installer/technician. This is what my father was. He started out as a lineman around 1952 after Korea and swiftly moved up to become the "Telephone Man" in our small town of 2500 people. I have pictures of my dad working with trucks just like this, which is an old line truck. These trucks carried the tools they needed to string the cables and connect them pole to pole. This was a dedicated truck, owned by the Bell System. The Bell System is the one who put those logo's on it. You can tell the general "era" of the equipment by the logo which changed occasionally plus it would help to trace the VIN for the year and model etc. These are GREAT finds and should be in a museum somewhere.
WOW! Waiting with great anticipation. What an amazing machine.
Thats some haul of vintage trucks. Just beautiful guys. Good luck with the restoration.
back in the late 70s i worked for AMF TUBASCOPE we used a truck that was just like the second one you showed. we x-rayed drill pipe used out in the oil field. the controls you found in the back were for controlling the x-ray set up. nice find.
Awesome finds, guys! Looking forward to 'Will it run' videos.... 😁
That first tractor trailer combo would make the BEST little weekend drag race hauler. Put a front engine dragster in the back and go to the track! I just decided my first lottery purchase.
That Logging truck would make a nice travel RV.
It's fun to watch you non truckers trying to figure out what's what... lol
The White is a classic, you really need to get an original hood, grille and fenders for it though. That "extended cab is the sleeper.
The trailer is an old furniture moving van.
The "logging truck" was used for data logging in the oil patch. The big hole in the back is where they would lower a line down the bore hole. Obviously, the reel for the line is long gone.
Knowing you two, these old rusty trucks are going to get the full treatment.
The Metro says KB-5, so it's sitting on an International chassis.
As for the Dodge, just cool. Needs an Edison Motors conversion kit! Diesel electric, on e-axles for a really cool 4x4... 😎
Thats what i like in this channel, they choose really rare oddballs.
Lance, Wyatt long time between drinks, but man!!! what a gr8 vid. You found some interesting trucks. the big jumbo horse float( looks like a horse float) it's huge. Could turn it into a mobile home with a lot of work and imagination??? A gr8 ep, look forward to the next one. Cheers
The old Ford COE I believe is a 1940 or 1941 , The van looks to be a moving van like the Mayflower Company used, AND what you call a box truck looks to be a milk delivery truck as with The Borden Company.
When you get those side doors open, you might find some clabbered milk. LOL
I can see I'm going to pray for you fells a lot more, some of those were just hanging on. Guys great catch.
Very nice pieces of equipment you have their American history I could be wrong the trailer might be a moving trailer for household goods thanks for the video guys stay safe out there
If I don't miss my guess, That big hole in that trailer on the Bell COE is for a Pintle hitch for when they would pull tandem trailers. The Pintle would be connected to a drawbar/axle assembly with a king plate on it and the second trailer hitched to it.
You guys are really blessed finding cool old Vehicles. God bless. Love you guys.
Excited to see these fixed up with good paint jobs, running, looking good on the road. So many channels just get things running and stop. Looking forward to this. Something different for a change.
It’s awesome seeing you guys out gathering up these old vehicles, God bless and take care
I am very hopeful that you guys can restore all of these vehicles. The video was very interesting to view. I look forward to following your progress.
My fave's gotta be that International. Next would be that COE/trailer.
just awesome to see these being collected, hope to see future videos of them. So many great looking vehicles, I'm leaning towards the box truck 👍😎
That cabover is by far the coolest, especially with that old 40s trailer
These are all some of the neatest vehicles I have seen. Would be awsum to see them all going again. Keep up the good work!
the cabover was a poll setting truck. it would of had a big body on the back with a huge winch and a long boom so as to set up telephone polls and the periscope let the driver see where its at.
Man you guys found some really cool and unique trucks! Great find and great job getting these out of their graveyards! Thank you!
GOD Bless you and your dad and your whole family !!!
From the meticulous efforts of my friends, I hope these cars will be restored and continue to roll on beautiful roads, before they are gone forever.
It's very good that you guys, found and rescued these are old relics from the past, but I work on vehicles and that's what I want to see, I don't want to just see the finds!
That first vehicle would make an awesome conversion to a RV/travel rig
Well logging consists of running a mile or two of steel cable down the hole with the instruments needed to tell the surfface operator where the gas ano oil layers are.
That logging truck has a lot of potential. The engine will definitely run and it has a cool look to it. It would be impossible to restore to original condition, but there is enough room inside that you could turn it into a really cool and unique customized vehicle. There is a lot you could do with that one.
I think it’s been a logging truck used in drilling Oil wells, it would have had a wireline winch in the back hence the controls at the rear of the cabin , just my thoughts anyway
Agreed, it is definitely a well logging truck.
More likely a unit to set over a manhole and pull cables inside the sewer tunnels.
Those are all cool old trucks. The cab and trailer is neat. That would be one of my favorites. It would be cool to see it running again.
Whenever I see these old vehicles rusting away, I think of "The Brave little Toaster" song "Worthless". The idea that these things want to be useful again and travel the roads is silly but I feel it to be true.
I like the White /IH truck and if I could afford it I'd have you guys make me a car-hauler for my Model A! I'm eighty=two in the fall and it's hard for me to drive the A to the meets every summer as I'm extremely arthritic!
Great find guy!
That logging truck and the truck and trailer are the bees knees to me! I'd turn them into rolling mobile homes or campers.
If that was your idea, Christian, for the rimshot on Lance's "joke" it was GENIUS! 😂😅🤣😅 KUDOS TO WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT! ❤
Fun to see Christian all about the family business. Reminds me of the 8 year old left behind in the Temple exchanging ideas with the elders.
@@TheAtstube she is AWESOME and the whole family is an example of how to live a great, GOD fearing, family life. Thank you guys for ALL YOU DO and GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
Without a doubt, that is the best load-and-tow video I have ever seen! Would have loved to see Christian's reaction to the blowout! I can hardly wait to see you work on these.
I can't wait to see what you guys do with these really unusual vehicles!
WOW Those old trucks are killer...Your lucky you have so much vintage tin over there !
My mind was blown enough before you got to 12:06 and wow! what a superb looking truck! Would make an incredible rod or restoration. Easily the pick of an already amazing bunch of vehicles.
I like the old White/International Harvester truck! Like you said, it would make a really cool hauler when it is restored.
Great Video guys I like them all but I really like that logging truck and the Ford cabover🤠🤠🤠♥️
That White is so cool, as soon as you guys walked up on it, all I thought of was stretching the frame and making a car hauler, that truck is so cool
Really liked all the trucks shown here. My favorite though was the White/International extended cab. Hopefully you can get it running again. Really excited for this one. This thing is screaming to be a diesel rod!! I think Welderup from Nevada would be envious that you have it!
I love that first truck you loaded up best ...I hope you keep it and do it up....what a great looking lot of vehicles
The Tractor & Trailer would make a neat RV/Motorhome, some great finds 👍
Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Great collection guy’s, looking forward to the next steps with these units!!
Well myself I like the Cab Over second place is the Metro Looking Van. The other ones I would have dropped in the ocean where it’s 6 miles deep never to be seen again. Hence boat anchors. I’m a retired Telephone Pioneer before cell phones I kept communications going for Kansas City on the Kansas side. Cable repair technician. When wires got cut or crossed I put them back together. Cell phones cut out wires. ATT placed copper wires up and down EVERY STREET IN THE NATION SINCE 1903. Except the Dodge Truck you left behind it’s cool too.. Nuff said
The round nose trailer is a furniture/mover trailer, a drop frame with side door access and rope tie offs give it away, The round nose was "aerodynamic' but a pain to load.
Great video. thanks for stepping up and saving these rusted relics. I believe the "logger" was originally a heavy rescue truck from a large city fire department. The controls (pedals) may have been for a large pto winch in the back of the truck. There should be a data plate somewhere on the body. The lever that did nothing might be for the pto for the winch??
That first truck is an old A frame telephone company line truck. Those trucks had a crew cab behind the main cab for a usually 5 man crew. The foreman and truck operator sat up front while the crew sat behind when traveling. The reason for not having a rear window in the cab was for the crew to talk to each other. The mirror in the cab roof was for the operator to see behind the truck while setting poles and operating the A frame boom. The rear of the truck was a covered box for supplies and tools. The newer trucks were converted to hydraulics. That was my job as a "grunt" 70+ years ago.
That log-ing truck would be the coolest RV build on the road ever!!!!! Close it in and design it and have some travel fun in it.
I am a 4th generation truck driver. Im retired now. The old white is an early sleeper cab truck. Hard to believe someone was able to sleep in that small of a space. That's all they had back then. I was amazed Wyatt was able to turn the wheel. those truck didn't have power steering in that time period. They had a steering wheel the size a dining room table as the drivers called it.
I really like that tractor trailer which is my favorite out of all your purchases. 💯
Cool stuff! Lots of work loading👍
Awesome vehicles. That logging tuck would be a great candidate for that Cummings 12 valve you have. Also make a great little bug out vehicle. Or a weekend camper.
great trucks guys - I like the one that had the wood in back - can't wait to see how they turn out - hope you stay blessed
That truck you loaded on first reminded me of The ZZ-Top 1933 Ford Eliminator. Baddass truck
That logging truck is a prize! I can see all kinds of possibilities .....
Thanks for blessing us with another great video
Lovers show guys you come across the best finds I've ever seen cares for many more shows from you God bless Brothers
Just another awesome video love the old iron! Appreciate the time and effort put forth.
