- Today is the day that Donnie gets to ride in his dads 70 year old truck. I Bought this 1949 5 window Chevy 3100 back in July of 2019 from a storage shed from a man named Donnie. He is the original owners son. It was his Dads Truck. He had not ridden in his dads truck in almost 35 years.
We also discus how much money I paid for the old Chevy truck, and how much it took to get running after it sat not running for 30 years.

Tracy,
I am an "Old Chevy Truck Guy" in Columbia, MO. I might have a door glass for you.
@@mikerussell505 I would love to talk with you on this matter. How can I get ahold of you? Email me your contact info at farmalarmmissouri@gmail.com
Thanks Mike
So cool that you took it back and gave him a ride
Indeed. Thanks for watching
Brought a tear to my eye seeing the grin on that old guy's face.
you should get a sign painter to redo his dad's name on the doors, but do it distressed to match the truck. It looks great. It's awesome to see how excited and happy Donnie and his wife were to be able to ride in it. You sure looked happy as well. Good job.
It was definitely fun time
It is so AWESOME that you followed through and gave Donnie the ride of his life.
Well you gave old Donnie one more memory to keep.
THANK YOU for taking the time to keep this old classic as original as you did. So many want to chop them up, "modernize" them and wind up with hideous rat rods that can't function as a truck should. This is a beautiful job of bringing a deserving truck back to life.
It's nice you gave the old guy a step back in time and a ride in your truck!
This is one thing i love to see someone buy the car or truck to keep not make a profit and let the original owner see it shine again!
Hey thanks for noticing.
Yes, other wise, they are just a used car salesman.
So True
Yup, good on ya for that ‼️👍🍺🇺🇸. Thing purrs ✅
Hey Farm alarm, this is the sweetest vlog ever! Thank you for your kindness and respect to this sweet couple. You will never fully realize the enjoyment and pride that you gave them; seeing the work you put into the truck and being able to ride in his Dad's truck again.
I hope they definitely enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
He said they used that truck as their only vehicle from 49 till 85? That's amazing. Just love those old trucks. You get a sense of dependability with an old truck like that. Itll get you there, it's been around 72 years!
That was awesome for you to take him out and enjoy the truck again it almost looked like he was going to tear up. Good job.
As they say in England: “He looks right made up”. What a delightful story!
Thanks glad you enjoyed
That's one sweet old truck glad to see it going down the road
Thanks!
It's so cool that you live in the area of where the original owner lives so that you could do this for him. Its also cool that you kept it original. This video made me smile inside and out.
Hey Farm Alarm, this was an awesome thing you did for this guy.
You did a great job cleaning the truck up. Sweat equity pays off👍🏻.
I would LOVE a truck like this,,,,,,,,,,,
Four thumbs down?! What’s wrong with people today. Followed the whole series, what a fantastic story. I like the way you left it as original as possible.
I came out the same year as this truck (1949) and my dome light works (most of the time it flickers). My dad drove one of these chevys right around 1954 and it was green just like this one.
Glad you finally got to it. They loved it. Paint looks great! Seats are sharp too. Jeff Jameson has a good idea about putting the name back on the doors. I don't know if I'd put that performance stuff on. Runs good the way it is. That old six is only Babbitt. Enjoy it, it's a great truck. Funny how an old truck can have a fan club! You have to get another project going, I enjoy your videos. Bye the way, you married the right one! Have a good holiday season.
Hey thanks for watching Brian. *Funny that you mentioned another project... Yesterday we actually bought a Minneapolis Moline tractor g900 that hasn't ran in 10 years.* From everything I have read it will actually get it better fuel mileage with the Dual carburetors and split manifold. LOL truck fan club. I definitely married the right one! Thanks again and Hope you had a good one too.
Nothing sounds better than a stovebolt with true dual exhaust. Well, maybe an "E" Type Jag. But....
You are an amazing person to do this for the previous owner. The world would be much better off if more people would be like you. Outstanding!
Beautiful video and story!
Nice video....nice truck...super nice people....thanks
Job well done,,Looks great.
Hey thanks so much
Brought back memories of my Dad’s ‘49 pickup. It was the only vehicle for a family of five for 13 plus years. We all learned to drive on that truck going up and down the driveway.
Love that transmission "whine" in the lower gears!
Gotta love that!
4:04 is my favorite part I think. The surprise on his face and in his voice was just priceless! You did a great job on the truck and did wonders to that man and his wife, WELL DONE SIR!!!
Thanks so much Rico
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for sharing.
Hey thanks and same to you
Great looking truck!
All round, nice people.
Hearing the stories about the truck adds so much sentimental value to it. It was great to see the ride along and hear more stories!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. The stories were great!
What a great story. How greatful you did to revive the good old truck....Happy for the previous ownwer to his dad truck..
Nice truck. I have a '48 Thriftmaster, 216 cu 5 window with deluxe SS trimming like yours, Dad bought it new and I have owned it for 57 years, my friends joke I'll probably be buried in it. It's never been restored, just good regular maintenance over the years. It did have a paint job in '91, that's all though. 4 speed, runs like a champ, 86,000 original miles, truth! I have the original sales receipt, 1,600.00 dollars. I am SO glad to see you did not pimp it with whitewalls, they look so stupid on an old truck. Anyway, good job, you got that beauty for a song, I hope you keep it. Oh, that Fram oil filter was not factory stock, could be ordered as a dealer extra .Thanks for the vid.
All of you deserve it. Nice people. Good story.
Thanks Chris
Cool truck. That was nice of you to give them a ride.
Thanks. They were super nice folks!
I had to laugh when Donnie was getting concerned about the brakes when Old 49 picked up speed. Remarkable and memorable journey for all.
Haha yes I was thinking the exact same thing
Excellent story and video. Im still working on my ole 49. Thanks
What fun! I ordered a shirt for my husband because he's a classic and "vintage '49" and one for me because I love old trucks. I'm sure the story behind your truck makes owning it even more special; thanks so much for sharing! It was good to see Ashley! I pray all is going well; looking forward to the "next addition" on the Farm Alarm Homestead :o) ♡♡♡ and God Bless!
Now True Joy, you are top notch. I hope you and your husband like the shirts. Looks like you ordered a blue one and a gray one? ☺ I really appreciate you guys watching and commenting. Ashley and Henry are doing well and new baby is growing too. Thanks again and Heavenly Father bless you
Ahh what a lovely thing you done, Donnies face is so Happy, it's great to see there are still good, genuine people like you & your crew in the world, Awesome brother 👍🏻
You’ve built a great legacy along with a new life for that cool ride! Good job!
I'm glad to get the old truck on the road again
Just remember this when you bolt on those performance items: Those 216 engines have poured babbitt connecting rod bearings, and cast iron, not aluminum pistons. Also, the rods use a splash type of oil lubrication, with a scoop-like device fastened to the connecting rod caps. Everything else is pressure oiled. They don't like to be revved too high without eventual catastrophic failure. The later 235 engines with aluminum pistons and full pressure oiling would be a better choice to hot rod. The stock 216 is not like any modern engines that like to rev. It's great to see that you are enjoying the old girl the way she was made. The old couple's reactions are priceless.
Hey thanks for watching and for commenting. My intentions for the modifications are twofold, and neither of them are for hotroding. Mainly for nostalgia. Second would be for efficiency. I would never consider swapping new parts on this truck, such as an LS motor 😂. Anyone can do that, but not too many old Survivor vehicles left around. Thanks again 👍👍👍
@@FarmAlarm Survivor vehicles of any kind are always in style...Keep those videos coming !
Theres a saying here in the US. Old CHEVYS rule the street. God bless you for reviving that old chev.
That's so beautiful to see sharing the memories Abby's dad me I'm 49 today it's my birthday and my grandma is 103 years old and she's doing great there's a hundred for on Mother's Day and I miss her every day not one day I don't cry for my grandmother she taught me so much
👍😀
Love that you didn't modify it. Got a 47 5 window I live in Texas but my great grandkids live in Kansas City MO. My sons in Rolla MO. So it will head up your way someday. I was born in kirksville . Nice story about your truck pass it down when you go .
Very cool!
that was awesome man, a lot of people promise to take the previous owner for a ride, you are the first person I've seen actually do it...
Oh Mate, I've been searching all over for rhi vlog.
Teared up when I saw how happy Donnie and his wife were. Pity you didn't take your son with you too, just to hear and see what his perspective would have been.
Good on you two.
Take care.
All the best from Scotland 🏴
Hello Scotland. Yes they were definitely happy to ride in the truck. And I do wish I would have taken my son. Have a great day
Love the truck
Thanks Otis
Love it. Really enjoyed you taking it back to his son and taking him a ride. I have my dad's 40chevy dad bought it when I was 10 years old. I am 55 now and I have given it to my son still runs great. Love that old steel. 😀
That's cool that you passed the old truck down another generation
I loved his face and reaction when you asked him if he would like to take a turn and drive ..... Priceless . Thanks for the great video👍
Thanks, I sure wished he would have drove
Makes you appreciate what living life is all about'
Well done sir . She looks lovely and it made Donnie's day to have a ride in his dad's truck
Thanks Hugo
That old stovebolt 6 sounds really nice.
Wao what a great memories and video. Thank you for sharing
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪, I can see that you are a family that respects your elders. That’s everything in my book. If somebody let me write my own cheque if I was in your position, I’d chase them off! I worked as a taxi driver, some rich guy said to me that every man has his price, so I kicked him out for the lower paying fare that was in his rightful place in the queue for my services. You my friend, have morals
Hello Ireland. Yes I was definitely raised to respect my elders. That seems like something that is not getting taught to today's generation
Farm Alarm my daughter cuts hair for a living, because of the values I’ve taught her, the elderly clients that she has love her, and her dear old dad too. Maybe one day the former owner will take a drive himself 🙂
Really touching moment for them and me. Keep in touch with them.
Thanks Danny! Glad you liked it
Awesome story thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Andrew
I love the sound of a split six! Todd the retired trucker.
That's the sound of reliability
By 4 minutes in I was tearing up! What a blessing you were to them! It’s a beautiful truck!
Glad to help with the tears lol
Que gran emocion por parte de tu padre al ver de nuevo volvió a la vida su camioneta ! Te felicito por esta gran obra, saludos desde México farm alatm !!
Wow.....Seeing the joy in the son's eyes was priceless. Pretty sure he was nothing but trippin down memory lane the whole time. Absolutely the coolest story I've seen yet on TH-cam.
But I've gotta be honest brother..... The look on your face says it all. That grin from ear to ear and the enthusiasm with which you spoke of the rebuild so far, was killer!
You're the genuine article buddy..... a true inspiration for ALL generations. God bless you.
Well it’s about time you did this video!!! 😉I watched the one the day you bought it and all the others getting it road worthy! So awesome you guys did this for Donnie- I know it made him very happy. I hope you and your family have many many miles of making new memories. 👍🏻
Its about time that you watched this video lol 😂👍 thanks for watching and we did enjoy making memories with Donnie and hopefully more to come!
@@FarmAlarm And your kids are getting a great early experience. So the tradition continues.
Everything about this story is great. Respect, love and kindness made all the difference. Got a tear in my eye at the final couple minuets. Well done young folks.
Awesome video
Thanks Jim
That made their year .Such a great story
Wow the whole year? LOL. Thanks for watching
He is the CUTEST thing. Holy mackerel.
I so wanted to add a Mackerel fish on the screen every time it was said.
Awesome ride in that classic car made even more special by your amazing passengers.
Rob
☺
Such a cool old truck and a cool driver 😉
Hey thanks
Righteously Filled Intent.
☺
This is very cool! I'm getting ready to begin my "restoration" project on my channel. 1966 Ford F-250. I plan on taking the original owner's daughter for a ride when I get it road worthy as well. Such a cool story for all these old rides!
this was incredible . youtubers rarely ever follow through on promises but you made this one true! KUDOS! excellent video series and i wish you the best luck with your future content.
Great story...but I'd feel bad for low balling them in the price. Or maybe I should come to Missouri to buy an old truck.
Oh my gosh! I love this. And the look on his face when he elbows her and chuckles 😭 I’m hoping we find a gem like this for our farm soon (it’d need to run though- we have zero engine knowledge)
The elbowing and smiling was my favorite part LOL
Donnie' s mom and dad are smiling in Heaven, God bless you for the love and respect you've shown them, Donnie and wife, and of course the truck. p.s. I like the idea of having the truck door relettered.
You should surprise his brother and take him for a ride in the truck. See what memories he has about it.
So wonderful that you're maintaining the originality of this great truck, and giving the son of the original owner a ride. How thrilling.
Gosh, Tracy, this was awesome. Following the story and watching it come full circle was really amazing.
Hey thanks so much creating essence
Sweet ride. Great job !
Thanks
Just an awesome video, sure loved seeing you take those folks for a ride! You did a great job on this Chevy truck, best to you and yours!
Hey thanks so much.
with all the craziness that we are exposed every day watching this video made my day and probably the rest of the year knowing that we can always go back in time to remember all the good in us and in our values, family friendship, kindness respect. Thank you so very much. Watching from Mexico, God Bless your family and for the couple the same- Thanks.
I've probably watched a 1000 TH-cam vids, but nothing more enjoyable than this. The human condition at its best, and thanks so much for sharing with us.
Thanks so much!
I just loved this video! Sure wish I had your talent and craftsmanship! I would love to do a vintage truck over. Brings back great memories! My Dad owned a garage/gas station in the 50s and 60s. I used to ride in his wrecker truck with him! Great job! Happy travels!
I SURE MISS THAT "HOLLOW" SOUND OF THE DOORS WHEN YOU SHUT THEM ...I THINK IT SOUNDED SOLID AND NOT LIKE A RECYCLED BEER CAN ..
AWESOME VIDEO .YOU KIDS SURE MADE THAT FELLER'S DAY,OR YEAR.
GOD BLESS Y'ALL
That sound sure is *Timeless!* 👍 thanks and may the Heavenly Father bless you too
Man when I saw how happy the previous owner wr...I am a grown man but I was in tears...it was so nice of u to do that...it hope many more ppl do what u did...be blessed. My man
I enjoyed this series of videos more than anything that I have watched on TH-cam in a very long time. I subscribed to your channel and I look forward to more videos of this old truck. I saw a comment that you should have the original owners name repainted on the truck where it used to be and I totally agree.
VEICOLO INTERESSANTE
Yep I wish I could find my old f2 1950 ford
👍
That is a cute video!!
Thanks Betty
Your welcome Farm Alarm!
I guess he could never see himself driving his dad's truck.
This is such a pleasant video. Watching an old timer reliving the past. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic. A real tear-jerker
Tracy is good at posting "tissue worthy" stories!
☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
My grandpa use to have a 49 Chevy but it was stole many years ago
Hey Fire Alarm, I have a 49 Chevy 3100, 4 on the floor, and am the second owner. Would love to ask you a few questions if you wouldn’t mind.
Lol i want you as my mechanic.
That brought tears to my eyes. I used to drive an old Chevy farm truck like that out in rural Nebraska in the late 1960s. Brings back fond memories.
You followed through on your promise. Great story. You did a good job getting the truck in good running condition.
A couple of guys in high school drove five window Chevy trucks. One classmate put a 283 engine in a '49. The other '49 got burned up when Pete was welding under it. He welded a makeshift floorboard to a gas line. He did not know it was a gas line. He though the metal gas line was a solid rod. He had the truck pulled into the high school shop. The fire trucks came to our school. We were all outside watching the firemen put out the fire. They hooked a chain to the rear bumper and pulled it out of the shop. There was a lot of smoke.
Pete turned a five gallon bucket upside down to sit on and drove the truck home that day. The fire gutted the interior, but the truck still ran. He never got it put back together. Pete was devastated, but none of us had that kind of money to rebuild the interior. We would buy an old vehicle for $75.00 and and drive it until something big went wrong.
My granddad had a black one just like that. He'd load me & my brothers & sisters & cousins in the back & take us to the swimming hole in the summer. I'd give anything to have that pickup now. It's nice that you took the time to go show him how much you care about it.
Hey thanks for sharing your memory. And thanks for watching
This jewel became a diamond. Thanks & congrats! I can see the happiness in your faces, innasmuch as, in mine! Cheers from Brazil!
I live here down in Buckner MO, where are y’all from, it’s got to be somewhere close because Sedalia is down the road and warensburg is only an hour
Close to Columbia
I've got lots of memories of those old Chevy pickups ,I learned to drive in a 56 Chevy Pickup. Good video Thanks.🇺🇸
