- So, what happens when you park your old daily driver or shop truck for an extended period of time? Well, the truck gets EVEN! The years of neglect can add up quickly, and pretty soon it’s on a downward spiral of deterioration. This time on GEARZ, Stacey shows how to stop that deterioration cycle before it’s too late. Using his old “Lil’ Red Wagon” Dodge as an example, Stacey shows you how to look past the faded paint and flat tires and focus on the things that matter, like the well-worn interior with the typical messes, spills, and mouse droppings. After all, if you don’t want to SIT in it, you’re not going to want to DRIVE it! Resurrecting a neglected driver requires a different approach than a typical “restoration” project, and GEARZ is the only place you’re gonna see it! It could be your next project is already sitting behind your house!

I remember watching this build. Saturday mornings as a kid watching Stacey was a great time!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Same here :) Shows like this are what got me into cars ! Great to see Lil Red get a 3rd life!
Good old days
Looked forward to watching it every weekend!!
Power Block TV was the highlight of my weekend.
Can we talk about how Stacy kept the same production value and style for his YT channel? Holy Throwback Maxwell!
I was pleasantly surprised as well. He must have a big crew or something
Have to say that Stacey is the best car builder on tv. One of two that I even consider watching. He never disappoints.
I guess you haven't heard of chip foose or joe martin
The majority of his shows are just advertisements. What did he build in this episode?
@@atg1338 foose is a hack
Definitely had a blast watching Stacey with my father since the very beginning. Back when Stacey hosted Trucks in 1999. My father was the hands on DIY guy, I dont have the patience unfortunately. My father was called home in 2018, but watching these brings back great memories and i still have project vehicles, however if my father was still here in good health, they'd be completed a lot faster. God Bless Stacey.
I’m the Nomad guy on season 17 episode 9 on where are you now. Everyone has it right. Stacey is that guy who inspired. I remember his show from way way back. He always sent the right message. Find something and get on it. It worked for me! Thanks to Stacey and the entire Gearz team.
I remember when this build was cutting edge. It molded my view of what a bad ass dodge ram was! Thanks for bringing it back all these years later! Brings back a lot of great memories!
I watched this build as a kid on Saturday mornings
so glad to see this truck come back i remember the whole build. its the truck that made me love the second gen dodges.
Oh yeah. The revisit of a legendary past build.
I loved this project!! I remember when you built it on PowerBlock TV when you were on Trucks. Don't remember if it was before TNN became Spike TV. Glad to see you working on her again. 🙌
Pretty sure it became Spike TV when Stacey worked on the Little Red Wagon.
I remember it too. Good times, crazy how time flies
How new are these episodes like Stacey does not age it's like he is a vampire or something.
This one premiered July 19th on TV.
@@OfficialStaceyDavidThat's impressive, you look good for your age. You were an adult on Horsepower TV when I was in HS, now 20 yrs later we look almost the same age 😮
I learned to weld because of Stacey and American Chopper. 🤣
I miss the Saturday morning lineup on spike tv and everything was free!! Powerblock would come on with all the shows and stay on till about 12, Gearz and trucks was my favorite show,
Thanks! You can see all episodes of Gearz for free on my channel. Most of the other former Powerblock shows are on TH-cam now too.
Watched a friend's dad remove a broke back glass out of his squarebody. Even though it was shattered to an easy zillion bits, it was still all in the frame. Carefully sprayed contact cement on it and a sheet of cardboard. When it got set, gently pressed it into place on the cardboard, pulled it out as one piece made of of millions of pieces.
Went ahead and tinted the new back glass while it was flat on his table but wasn't careful with a socket. Instead of paying for a new sheet. A wide roll of stretch film and more clear spray adhesive. Custom back window. Crackled tinted. Tripped folks out to see it because they thought it was an applied treatment, not actual broken glass glued to stretch film under clear table top epoxy, and tinting on the other side.
Probably would have been cheaper to just get a new piece of glass, but eh. It looks quite cool.
those second gens are now modern classics. Regular cab shorts are hard to find not rusted out
They are getting popular and harder to find!
This was my dream truck as a kid! Still love this truck, always wondered about it. Hopefully ill see it when im driving around nashville working.
I'm so full of mixed emotions. Part of me smitten with admiration reminiscing watching Stacey, I'm reminded of 💥HORSEPOWER TELEVISION💥 as the coolest thing I ever watched in HS in the late 90s. It solidified me being a tech. Viewing UTI and WyoTech commercials every break. Dreaming of working on hot rods and building race engines, I wanted nothing more with my life.
So I went to school and fought for a job as an automotive tech. I knew after about 8 years in I made a poor decision, both figuratively and literally, but I kept on grinding. Now I'm 21 yrs into this career and burnt and worn out. I've struggled hard the past 25 yrs barely making ends meet, and trying and working harder than most other people in every shop. Often working 12 hrs/day 6 days/wk, and it's just not cutting it. Not profitable. And hard, filthy work. I need a career change.... and I'm so lost on what. 😢
You've featured two Renoites on WAYWO (including me) now. I think you should take a trip to Hot August Nights one of these years. It is a city-wide car show event with thousands of cars and trucks on display. We'd love to have you!
Thanks Stacy for everything. Loved your show with dad on the weekends. Its cool too see the old projects come back. Maybe do another guitar project?
I'm kicking around a couple ideas for guitars.
Another good video!
I am doing the same thing on a 1990 ranger. I haven't had the thing on the road since 2007. It sat abandoned at an old farm. The new owner of the property gave me a call and said to grab it before she sent it to the crusher.
I have to do every thing from brake lines to inside. But I hope to have it on the road by next summer!!!!
You’re the man Stacey, thank you for the trip down memory lane remembering watching this truck being built for the first time. I always admired how much love you gave these builds, particularly when you shook things up after some of the builds were sold off and abused. Is the catalog Camaro still hanging around by chance?
Yes, the Catalog Camaro is coming back soon!
@@OfficialStaceyDavid awesome! Thank you for the update, I look forward to seeing it. Keep up the good work
Love this channel
Thanks!
This very project made me buy a 97 ram and pro charge it myself. I drove that truck for 15 years until I just recently sold it. 😢😁
I remember this truck being built as a kid. Now my Dodge is sitting in the back waiting for me to bring it back to life.
Can’t believe how the finish on those bumpers held up
Yous sir have the best show
Thank you!
Instead of the heat gun when you receive the carpet put it out in the sun depending on the time of year and where you live. But Stacy skipped over installing the sound deadening & heat shielding did he even put it in? Or were those just suggested options
Man I watched you build that thing back in the day sad to see it like that.
We need another chevy truck project… with another powerful snake name. PLZZ!!!
Shame on you Stacy…this was a great build back in the day. Love your work!!!!! If I find out Copperhead looks like this you and I are gonna have words!
He doesn't have copperhead
Copperhead looks exactly like it did. I brought it back for a few episodes earlier this season. This truck looks like this because it was used as a work truck.
Fun Fact: Back in late 1940's and Early 1950's Henry J cars sold in Sears and Roebuck catalog.
Hey Stacy, I have a question for you. What bumper did you use??? That is a great looking bumper, it would go perfect on my 01!!!!🤘🤘🤘
i use to watch you on the show trucks and love the stuff you had and watched you on here once i found you after leaving trucks ... but it seems today this show is more infomercials then working on the projects ... now i do get it that you have to fund the stuff somehow ... i just miss the good old days i guess when it was more about the projects and the products was at the last 5 or so min of the show
Does anyone know what bucket seats those are and if he built or bought the mounting bracket?
When removing that back glass I was hoping you were going to go one step further and remove that trim. I have to remove a windshield and it has chrome trim over the weatherstripping. I'm wondering how to remove that without destroying it.
👍👍👍👍
I want to see Stacey do another truck conversion on a medium duty diesel with manual transmission & airbrakes maybe a little GMC Cabover from the 60s or 70s
👍
WoW
It’s just a GIANT commercial
That’s kind of a bummer
Amazing how the mice get into vehicles? Threw the engine compartment? I just leave the doors open so they don’t have to break in! Lol
I have a buddy that's had his window smashed and stereo stolen like 10 times within a few yrs. So he stopped locking his vehicle altogether. Says if they're going to steal his stereo at least he doesn't have to replace the window every time lol
stacy check out INDO 500 !! greattt cleaner and degreaser !
dang man, why do you look sick
Stacy has something in mind for that old Henry J.
Remember the build and the sticker promotion! Still waiting on my sticker!
If I want to watch the order episode when he was building it is it on his TH-cam
Trucks! episodes aren't on my channel. Some of them are on other TH-cam channels though.
Hey Stacey big fan for years.
I have a question. Is the bumper on the red truck a Buck stop brand bumper?
Yes it is and the rear is as well.
What's a good way to fill in scratches in plastic interior panels while maintaining the texture?
That's the thousand dollar question
I would get something like hot gule and put a big blob and let it cool. Then fill the scratch and use the glue blob like a big stamp to match the texture. It will never be perfect.
I’ve watched Stacey for a long time and he has done a lot of cool projects but the projects are Unobtanium for most blue collar people. I guess when you pimp a ton of products and have vendors give you all the products to do your build the sky is the limit.
Is there a video for that pistol grip?
id love to buy the seats that you took out of the truck to put in my dads 96 dodge ram 1500. It was the last new vehicle he bought. I was brought home from the hospital in that truck when i was born. in recent years its been my daily driver and i even brought my daughter home from the hospital in it. its gotten into bad shape on the inside and has been totaled 3 times but the truck means to much to let go of.
I always wondered why it was called the Lil Red Wagon , because it's orange and far from Little . I have a red Ford Ranger that I call the Super light Duty , that would suit the name better .
I’d gladly give Lil’ Red Wagon a good home so a restoration isn’t needed again.
Looks like Lil' Orange Wagon now.
I love seeing your older projects come back for new life.
Hows the buckin Bronco doing😉
Crazy Horse?! Yes please!!
I'm not sure how the Bronco is doing. I lost touch with the owner.
@@OfficialStaceyDavid shame. Thanks for the reply
That bumper !!! where can i get one ?
It's a Buckstop bumper. I'm not sure if they're still in production.
Can we get an update on the wicked Willy’s?
Who makes that hood? And, is it still available? My 01 ram V10 needs one.
They're out of production now, but someone is trying to reproduce them.
Thank you! Appreciate the heads up. Really like the SRT look on the 2nd gens.@@OfficialStaceyDavid
I like to have the little red dodge truck
I hope part of lil red wagon resurrection is a red paint job cause all that red interior is clashing with the burnt orange paint
Yes; a new paint job is in the works. It was red before the sun bleached it out.
Can we talk about that HenryJ and what you plan to do with it Stacey?
It's for sale, but if no one buys it...
These builds need a list of costs and time to complete. Because throwing money at the projects seems to escape the narrative. Unless your focus is only on people with six figure incomes.
I think my first thought is why don't people put covers on them !!!
Wheres the yello van man?
Was this project originally on "trucks"?
Yes.
@@OfficialStaceyDavid I loved watching Trucks on Saturday mornings in college... good times.
That paint did not hold up
Why he did the fake laugh thing IDK
First thing you need to do buddy is make an appointment with your doctor to have your eyes checked. Because that truck is orange.
It was red before the sun took its toll.
@@OfficialStaceyDavid Haha, WOW, I have never seen the sun fade paint that bad. I was just kidding about the eyes. You have always done the coolest projects, keep up the good work.
Stacy, I love your content, but what is going on with your hair? Is that a wig or are you transforming into that famous painter?
Little not lil
Blah blah blah
@@atg1338Bluh Bluh Bluh
This one is Lil. It's painted on both doors.
Is this channel all about sponsors
Is Stacey ok? His face looks thin. I hope he is ok
Thanks for your concern. The weight loss was intentional.
too many sales spots not enough how too
Terrible someone left this truck to sit and rot after being redone
Wow, I never thought of buying all new interior to make it look new! It seems there is more advertising than work. U can buy new carpet from these guys, buy new seats from these guys, buy new trim from these guys. This is a worthless video. You have an old truck? All u gotta do is spend 5 grand on new carpet and seats, new trim and it looks a lot better! I never thought of that
Get rid of the sticker on the door. Too much time spent advertising junk.
It's pathetic how a vehicle enthusiast on TV builds a truck then let's it go to shit. Just so they can profit it off it with ratings for the show
👍
