Very nostalgic for me. Those dump control levers took me back to an old Jimmy I drove as a teen. If you revved to high while dumping the PTO driveshaft would fly apart and would take an hour to repair. The old oshkosh is a beast!
Me and 4of my friend's one winter went to gether and gave 500 for a truck just like that one we fix it up and we hauled hay on it in the summer it's still setting at one of my friend's house man we had some good times and made some money we would haul at night when it was cool we would take turns one would driver and one would pick up up and one would stack and one would hold the light
Thursday ,With Low Buck garage ,still in the north east guaranteed fun times while learning things ,The More you know . I found your channel by accident ,and now I wouldn't miss it ,I love the setting reminds me when I was a kid living on the farm driving junkers through the woods What great fun that was
I was wondering how much land your father has up there ? It appears with all the vehicles and equipment he has looks like at least 15 or 20. Secondly you must have a very very special and supportive spouse you are indeed blessed!
I love the shifty eyes thinking about lunch first. The off-hand manner and simple humor of his channel makes it the best. I hope to see this truck in the future (dare say see it run?)
There was a comment I read once on Musties channel that was posted by a fella from the UK and I will never forget it….”must be nice having all that land! Only way I’d ever get a couple acres is if someone kicked me in the nuts!” Hahahaha
Oh man I could listen to that Cummins work under load for hours!! What a cool truck that Oshkosh is I would literally watch you drag a rock in circles with that Cummins or any old engine under load for that matter 😂😂 The mutt truck sounds great too! Maybe even better
That was fun. Can you give us a tour of the old GMC that you passed by around 18:30 minutes? Also, those 1954 Chevys are very desirable because the grill is unique to that year.
That Osh is awesome! Such a rugged Beast. I love that truck. My father worked for the state of CT for 29 years as a field clerk. He may have actually ridden in this truck!
Giday mate , love your vids and humor , thanks for the giggles . it's much easier to move things sideways if you attach the chain as high and short as you can on thee tow truck and as low as possible on the ruined truck , it will lift as you pull and you won't damage rims and tyres .😎
I really like that 6400 truck. It's purty and has almost no dents! Weird how it rusted under the hood that way. There are a lot of facts in your videos - always something to learn, like the location of the valve cover bolts and the pressurized oil system.
What you need for extra maneuvering of your stuff around by yourself is one a those $300 13,500lb winches off Amazon with the wireless remotes, along with a couple snatch blocks. It on the front of my little jeep here has made life so much easier, and my boneyard much tidier to boot.
great video! I wish there was more old iron here not in the junk yards.. 5 old c 60s went by my house last week on the way to the junk yard.. what a shame. Stove bolts were a great engine.. lots of good parts on that truck yet.
I seen guys use the front plow lift to lift cars and trucks off the ground. Just the front or rear. My dad used a western plow lift to pull a boulder out of a hole.
I was struck between the similarities between that Chev 6400 and a TJ Bedford. Some styling differences in the front end, but the cab interiors felt very similar. Been many years since I've been inside one though so could be wrong. I think late 50's Bedfords found their way back to the GM parts bin through Vauxhall? Maybe I'm mile off and my memory playing tricks. A common mod for those Bedfords in AUS when they were relegated to "farm truck" duty was to drop a Holden (GM) 308 V8 in them. Plenty of them lying around.
i have a '54 6400 ex-grain truck that i cab swapped with a '94 1500. i love those 5 window cab trucks, but rear wheel cylinders are unobtainium for the big trucks, so it went from a ramp truck project to a cab swap project. luckily, the cab is the same no matter what size in that series.
Hi I grew up in the ct. panhandle but also lived around the wilimantic area. Did I hear once Pratt and Whitney and did u work there? Hard to believe there is still rural parts of the state.
the rearwheels of the old chevy seem to turn a bit! that means the blockage is in the gear box or maybe there is a hand brake on the the gearbox output/ so if you unbolt hte driveshaft to the rear axle maybe it would roll!?
Should the “bigger” extra dump bed be on the Oshkosh instead of the older tiny one? Seems there has to be a center diff lock on that transfer case to get all the power to the back wheels. Could that dashboard “diff lock” be for the rear axle only since it’s a street truck? That’s for sharing the fun!
Wondering why you didn't pull the axle half shafts? I have had good luck with getting old drum brakes to allow the wheels to turn while disk brakes were often seized solid.
I feel a bit sad that the old 54 model chevy truck is not worth fixing. I so did love the look of them. Its also the look of the very first 55 model trucks as their new bodies were not ready for production and so they used the 54 cab on the 55 for a few months. It made that model cab worth some very serious coin. I ain't sure of much in life but maybe someone whom is moderately moneyed up would enjoy bringing it back to life. That is not your style, you either fix or use to fix others rightfully so
I'm not giving up on it! I didn't bother trying to start it because I knew the motor was bad, but that it not too big of an issue. I'm not sure yet exactly how it will happen, but that cab will drive again, either with an engine upgrade or on a new chassis.
Love watching your projects, your work and the way you do it reminds me much of myself,lol. What about that TriMoto three -wheeler,I’d sure love to have that if you ever get ready to part with it. Keep up the good work and keep having fun cause when you’re having fun working I’m having fun watching.
Love the show the dry humor & wit...plus common sense & fix all..balin' wire...never miss. Good stuff, keep em' coming, bus looks great and better. Old fart farmer talking& and love that oshkoshbgosh
Hope you can still get big-end shells for that thing. I suspect some time spent unlocking the rear brakes might have paid dividends - unless it was the trans that was locking the rear wheels.
These videos are awakening a desire for an old dump truck in me. I don’t even know what I would do with it, they’re just neat.
Yeah me too. I would totally daily drive that Dodge. That Oshkosh pulled that Chevy with the locked duals like it was nothing!
Very nostalgic for me. Those dump control levers took me back to an old Jimmy I drove as a teen. If you revved to high while dumping the PTO driveshaft would fly apart and would take an hour to repair. The old oshkosh is a beast!
he needs a ops manual for this epic rig
Low Buck Garage and Diesel Creek are my guilty pleasures lol This channel has come a long way and ALWAYS fun.
Me and 4of my friend's one winter went to gether and gave 500 for a truck just like that one we fix it up and we hauled hay on it in the summer it's still setting at one of my friend's house man we had some good times and made some money we would haul at night when it was cool we would take turns one would driver and one would pick up up and one would stack and one would hold the light
I would love to see more stuff like this! Your literally playing snowrunner in real life
Man that Oshkosh is too cool! love that 12 valve sound., really hope that she gets restored some day.
Love the yellow truck.
That thing is a beast!
Worth the effort to make everything work properly.
I've a Mechanic for 34 years and I love your videos.
the BOB ROSS of the vehicles repair
Congrats Low-Buck Garage, on finding-out how to mow-down some small trees, also how the transfer lever's work.. good job..
and dig ruts to channel the water away from road

Hi, must be great to have so much land to have fun in. Here in UK we only have postage stamp lots. Many thanks.
There was a comment I read once on Musties channel that was posted by a fella from the UK and I will never forget it….”must be nice having all that land! Only way I’d ever get a couple acres is if someone kicked me in the nuts!” Hahahaha
@@ronfrance4041 hahaha 🤣
Your available projects and content for videos is off the charts.
Really like your attitude. "If you're not having fun, you're doing it the wrong way" or words to that effect.
New dump bed for the Oshkosh. Battery cover should have a "D" ring in the turning section.
Man, I am so glad that dump bed didn't fall on you.
Reinstalling the air filter kinda dressed up the engine some what, good work.
Oh man I could listen to that Cummins work under load for hours!!
What a cool truck that Oshkosh is
I would literally watch you drag a rock in circles with that Cummins or any old engine under load for that matter 😂😂
The mutt truck sounds great too! Maybe even better
Omg the casual hummer wagon in the background ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ dream vehicle of mine
That's some impressive pulling power 👍
if you get that diff lock to work look out you could probably drag three of them trucks around lollots of fun watching your vids keep on tuckin
That was fun. Can you give us a tour of the old GMC that you passed by around 18:30 minutes? Also, those 1954 Chevys are very desirable because the grill is unique to that year.
That Oshkosh is pretty substantial 🤩
Ah the power of good ol brute force and momentum. Nicely done.
What a minty old Chevy! Sweet old GMC in the bush too!
I'm so glad you didn't cut the tree down....beautiful picture
Starting with lunch is always the best plan
That Osh Kosh is a total beast!
That's such a cool place to go back too!
that oshkosh is awesome. And I really like the style of the Chevy
That Osh is awesome! Such a rugged Beast. I love that truck. My father worked for the state of CT for 29 years as a field clerk. He may have actually ridden in this truck!
I knew that was a ct state seal! I saw the new haven body mud flaps. Litchfield here
Thanks for the video. You always make me laugh and smile.
Giday mate , love your vids and humor , thanks for the giggles . it's much easier to move things sideways if you attach the chain as high and short as you can on thee tow truck and as low as possible on the ruined truck , it will lift as you pull and you won't damage rims and tyres .😎
Please can we have a weekly episode??? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻My favourite channel.
Seems like old yellow has become a drag-ster 😁
It’s amazing who many vehicles you have to drive or drag other vehicles around with. Man I wish I was so lucky.
yes!!!! I've been missing my high quality low buck garage!!!!
That Oskosh is so cool. It effertlessly drags the old Chevy even with the stuck rear brakes.
Can't beat a 12v Cummins! 😁👍 That Oshkosh is just too awesome James! Enjoyed the video and happy wrenching 🔧🔩
Those Chevy straight 6 ‘s run forever , and they have a ton of torque
Always enjoy watching your videos keep them coming
Enjoyed
That Oshkosh is a beautiful beast.
What are y’all going to do with those old Mercedes that keep popping up in the background? Make them into Mutt Truck Mercs?! 😆 Love your channel!
I really like that 6400 truck. It's purty and has almost no dents! Weird how it rusted under the hood that way. There are a lot of facts in your videos - always something to learn, like the location of the valve cover bolts and the pressurized oil system.
Beautiful old truck. Would be cool to see that cab put on something cool. Love the Oshkosh too.
It looks like your having fun.👍
More impressed with that plow truck everytime I see it.
Thanks for another video they are silly but fun to watch
Dude, I don't know if you're a genius or an idiot, but I love the way you get things done... 😆
I don’t think idiot is at all an consideration
Love the Oshkosh! What a beast !! Awsome yard truck 👍💪🏻
What great property love that place

I like how he did the pruning after it was parked there. Those limbs make for a good cushion to prevent the truck from bumping into the tree trunk.
Man that Oshkosh is COOL 😎
great video! I wish there was more old iron here not in the junk yards.. 5 old c 60s went by my house last week on the way to the junk yard.. what a shame. Stove bolts were a great engine.. lots of good parts on that truck yet.

Keep up the great content!
Another Fine Episode!
Just found your channel seem to have some nice old iron I'll be on the lookout for more videos

You have the best toys...😎
Great vid , hopefully running soon , thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
Thanks for sharing your fun! Really enjoy watching your videos lots of fun
6:10 into the video... WHAT is that little white vehicle in the background.. future video perhaps?
That is an electric utility truck (like the kind that work in zoos and train stations), and I do have some video thoughts for it...
Always look forward to your videos.
I enjoy your videos, we work in very similar fashions lol.
Great video, thanks.
Excellent video Glenn : ) yes had lots fun tow old Chevrolet 3 ton stake truck and 1969 Oshkosh truck trying out 4×4 first time too !
Nicely done

Love that old truck
Grandpa had some cool stuff
Would you be able to to a property tour or more precisely a junk on the property tour
Hi I grew up in the ct. panhandle but also lived around the wilimantic area. Did I hear once Pratt and Whitney and did u work there? Hard to believe there is still rural parts of the state.
The effortless power of the Cummins
That old Oshkosh is badass.
Good.job😄👍👍👏👏👏Nice
You should do a will it start video on the truck..that would be awesome…
The Oshkosh always makes me giggle. A huge truck... with a dump bed from a Ford Ranger.

That’s for sharing the fun!
No, it's an "inter"-axle diff lock, not an "intra"-axle diff lock. But, there could also be a back axle lock as well. Some trucks have both
Wondering why you didn't pull the axle half shafts? I have had good luck with getting old drum brakes to allow the wheels to turn while disk brakes were often seized solid.

Great videos. What part of the country are you in? Good morning from Anchorage Alaska
The plow has a Texas key chain. Also at 19:10 is that another dozer in the tree line?
Good eye! That's a TD18 that hasn't run in 30 or so years. It had steering problems back then, but it did run...
@@LowBuckGarage maybe another project?
the knob on top of the dash IS for the windshield wipers
You need a wrecker setup for your Osh Kosh!
Whole new meaning of Going hunting!
Love watching your projects, your work and the way you do it reminds me much of myself,lol. What about that TriMoto three -wheeler,I’d sure love to have that if you ever get ready to part with it. Keep up the good work and keep having fun cause when you’re having fun working I’m having fun watching.
That TriMoto is missing the engine, but shoot me an email to james@low-buck-garage.com if you want more details.
@LowBuckGarage is that a state of Connecticut seal on the door? I see the mud flaps say new haven body.
Love the show the dry humor & wit...plus common sense & fix all..balin' wire...never miss. Good stuff, keep em' coming, bus looks great and better. Old fart farmer talking& and love that oshkoshbgosh
That Oshgosh is a real beast. I wonder how it would do in a tug of war with the tow tug?
Hey this isn't hacked up to bad. May be worth keeping original. Next sentence: Hey I could use this on something else...😃
if he needs parts CLASSIC TRUCK RESCUE is the source for good used parts
100k special. Tow tug vs oshkosh
Hope you can still get big-end shells for that thing. I suspect some time spent unlocking the rear brakes might have paid dividends - unless it was the trans that was locking the rear wheels.
