Update for anyone interested. 1 year ago today the van gave up its engine for my DeSoto. I made some progress but the past few months my health has taken a turn down. I have developed type 2 diabetes and a heart condition. Not sure when or if I will ever be able to get back to work on the car. Still very thankful to have met Kevin and Dalton and for all they did.
type 2 diabetes is completely reversible. depending on the heart condition, i'm suspecting atrial fibrillation, it too is treatable. if coronary disease, several methods to treat. best to you.
40:31 - the synchronized "It was strong... TOO STRONG, THE VAN!" got me. Great job guys! Glad to see you doing good work for a vet in need. As Tony stated, I am sure he GREATLY appreciates your help on this. I would love to see a follow-up video where you help finish up some other things. DEFINITELY looking forward to seeing a follow-up to see his face once it gets up and running again!!!
This was really a super hilarious video, but the humanitarian value of it far surpasses its abundance of great humor. BIG kudos to you and Kevin, Dalton!! I'm VERY PROUD of you guys!!!
The realtor trying to sell the house across the street had me rolling !!! You guys look like you just had a great time, and that’s what it’s all about.
That was just awesome Dalton I was usually a bit sceptical about your collaborations with Kevin but this was just epic from you both, and what a great thing you did for Tony. I spent 10 years in the British Army as a heavy machinery mechanic down to Iraq and Afghanistan (lost my best friend in Afghanistan) and I still have the physical and mental scars from both of them. I love seeing the respect veterans get in the USA over here in the UK it seems in very short supply at times but perhaps that's the case everywhere. I very rarely mention my time in the forces but this was just awesome. Dalton and Kevin thank you! Proud member of the low buck club right here :)
I'm an American but thank you for your service. I will never understand the lack of pride for other countries military guys. As much as I hate our government I still have great love and respect for our military guys. They didn't always know about the BS our government was pulling behind their backs.
I kinda want to be disappointed that the van was such an easy and fun revival, then you rip it apart, but I can’t 😂 I sincerely appreciate and thank you fine gentleman for going through so much trouble to help a veteran.
Guys, being a USMC veteran myself, you can't possibly be told enough how much we, the veteran community, appreciate what you did for a Brother of ours!! Even though Tony is a Air Force guy, we still appreciate it! 🤣🤣😇. You guys are AWESOME!!! Tony, you Sir, are a BRAVE MAN!!!
You two are to be commended! You both deserve a long-needed rest! "I drank my pillow".....for some reason that just cracked me up! The punchdrunk, sleep-deprived humor was hilarious! Thank you for helping Tony!
The VAN ❤️ She served her purpose, was a fun journey, great videos AND She's paying it forward. Totally enjoying all y'all's content. Subbed to both channels Fellaz👍🏻❤️🤍💙
I think it is a great thing that you and Kevin stopped in Phoenix to help the Veteran do a engine improvement. My uncle was a Vietnam vet so I have a ton of respect for our veterans
Dalton and Kevin this was the most crazy way of an engine install. I have ever seen. And dang it runs. Awesome. Think Tony was impressed as well. The two neighbors were a help. But, you guys stole the show. Dalton can’t wait to see what you two can get into next time around .😂 💯👊👍
7:56 we get to see a little Tappy-Tap action... great video! Can't wait to see the rest of this trip.. then later.... "how do you burn water?" lol... Classic Dalton...
That's a hell of a working vacation you two got. Fantastic content; shame the intake didn't make it, but its clearly ready for it, that Desoto is itching to roll again.
@PoleBarnGarage the fact that you got from Texas without really any issues. The great car in the sky must have blessed the engine if what was in it, made it to Arizona
You guys are really great for doing this for a disabled veteran. I am sure he would do it himself if he could. Its too bad you broke that old Orange Harbor Freight Reciprocating Saw. I have one like it and mine is over 10 years old and still works like a champ! The newer ones just don't look as tough. Mine even came with a new set of brushes. Maybe put the engine and transmission in the DeSoto! It would be "much more reliable" then. LOL
I just wanted to say that I subscribed to your channel for 1. Content 2. Your dry humor 3. Bleeping out bad words and not using them yourself 4. That you helped a USAF Veteran as I am one myself !
This is awesome helping another fellow Veteran like myself. I would never luck into good guys like you to come help me with my wifes car. Thank you all for great video.
Such a fun journey. To know that "The Van" TM will live on, helping a Veteran bring his project back to life is exactly what 'car guy' culture is all about. Great video, always love the collabs.
Good afternoon Gentleman. What a really Lovely Gesture to do for this Hero of yesteryear. What a Great team all pulling together to transfer this Awesome Engine into this Classic American Beauty. This Veteran needs a lot of Help, Support to finish off Restoring this Gorgeous vehicle. Well Done to You Incredible and Selfless Gentlemen. I Salute all of You.
Sir. We know these guys. They could really mess this engine swap up. But they are truly trying to help. We always give them that. Good Luck Sir. I hope life is better for you.
Hope you finally got some sleep Dalton. Great video, you are always entertaining to watch, and your face at the Twisted Tea is exactly how i looked when i tried one. Im no quitter so i finished the can, but will never have another one lol. You guys are awesome, thank you.
I like Kevin running the realtors day. Also like how the firing order, cylinder numbers, and distributor rotation are blatantly cast into the intake manifold staring them in the face.
By the way.... The van is a house now😂
A point I neglected to mention. The DEA is going to have their hands full once the Van ™️ begins manufacturing
@@PoleBarnGarage it'll be the most reliable and longest running meth lab ever😂
lol im sorry hwat?
would make a fair cicken coop rn in sbs yard.
But the Van was REALLY good.
Never seen this model not all rusted to death yet, lol.
Btw: Awesome Series
I was thinking put a hemi in it and make it a church van.
I miss "The Van" TM 😭😭
You should have kept the van and bought the motor Dalton was talking about in your video Kevin
Sleeperdude88 needs help with there 5.9 magnum swap
Hey man ya gotta Dodge them feelings! lol
But know that "The Van" TM lives on in spirit, in the deSoto!
May it rust in pieces 😢

Have you talked to the guys again? Perhaps they would do a part 2 and get it driveable
Have you talked to the guys again? Perhaps they would do a part 2 and get it driveable
@@ridgid859 I tried. No response. So I will just keep doing my best.
Kevin putting van parts on the curb in front of an open house has got to be one of my favorite things ever. HOAs quake in our presence.
You just gave this vet a gift that he may have never gotten to experience. Proud of you!

that will take money and at least another year, but I am getting there. Could not have done this on my own!
Fantastic job guys! So great to see Tony’s neighbors volunteering too!!
They bit off a bit more than they expected and not with helping Tony.
When you guys cruising into California??
Let’s us know
I’m always down to lend a helping hand 🤘
Those guys are going to run with the ball for sure. Good people are everywhere , you just have to look around.
Nothing more entertaining than a group of guys working on an old car in the garage with all of the correct tools
@@jamess7681its a Dodge. The only tool required is a 20 lbs. Tanya Harding!!!
“I have been swinging motors in from trees my whole life” absolute poetry
This was really a super hilarious video, but the humanitarian value of it far surpasses its abundance of great humor. BIG kudos to you and Kevin, Dalton!! I'm VERY PROUD of you guys!!!
Thanks Dr. Lee! What we did ain't much, but it's somethin'
@@PoleBarnGarage Oh, I disagree....you could see it on Tony's face! You done good!
I found the sound of the mopar starter quite humorous 😅 That really added to it for me.
Let's all thank Tony for his service and his kind heart!
Thanks Tony!!!
AWESOME VIDEO DALTON AND KEVIN!! GLAD TO SEE YOU GUYS HELPING A VETERAN!!
Try to do what we can!
@@PoleBarnGarage please try and help sleeperdude88 with there 5.9 magnum swap
RIGHT ON HOSS TELL BARB I SAY HELO GOBBLES
@@7eisGOBLESS HOSS TONY IS A GOOD OLE BOY DONT MAKE EM LIEK THEY USE TO AMEN TELL HOM DONT LAYERDOWN ON THE CLIBBINS
The realtor trying to sell the house across the street had me rolling !!! You guys look like you just had a great time, and that’s what it’s all about.
There are preachers weeping across the country as you cut a part that church van😂
Not, a chance. It, served its pupose.🙂
A guy just hit the lottery a 2 hour VGG and almost an hour of you and Diggs helping out a disabled hero going to have a great night
That was just awesome Dalton I was usually a bit sceptical about your collaborations with Kevin but this was just epic from you both, and what a great thing you did for Tony.

Thanks for watching and enjoying! Truth be told I'm happy to help anyone who deserves it
Very kind what you two me done for that vet

No @itsdinger thank you for your service
I kinda want to be disappointed that the van was such an easy and fun revival, then you rip it apart, but I can’t 😂 I sincerely appreciate and thank you fine gentleman for going through so much trouble to help a veteran.
This has got to be the best "Garage Squad" episode I have ever seen!
God bless you both. For helping a U.S . Air Force Veteran.
Dalton and Kevin great job... You both just made SUPER HERO status... Never disapoint...
Guys, being a USMC veteran myself, you can't possibly be told enough how much we, the veteran community, appreciate what you did for a Brother of ours!! Even though Tony is a Air Force guy, we still appreciate it! 🤣🤣😇. You guys are AWESOME!!! Tony, you Sir, are a BRAVE MAN!!!
as a van lover this was hard to watch, but what you did for this guy is absolutely fantastic.
Veterans ere the friends you def want to be around Dalton!! They actually help when you need it.
Awesome thing you guys did, very thoughtful! Thank you Tony for your service!
Tony is a very deserving guy
The two neighbor guys need their own channel. You guy's did a damn good job for that disabled veteran.
Watching you guys work together is always a ball. As a vet myself it was heartwarming to see you guys help another Veteran out.
Don’t feel bad about the van.. the engine is the heart and soul of a vehicle. The body is just the wrapper. The van lives on
Kevins pillow in a can is something you could market.Its multi purpose.When you wake up from a nap you drink it.
You'll are killing it (and yourselves) Awesome job.
Thanks! I think
Great video. Great cause and two really great guys donating your time, energy and talent to help this fellow Air Force Vet out.
Try to do what we can! World is a not so nice place these days
Nice gesture to a decent bloke down on his luck…good man.
You two are to be commended! You both deserve a long-needed rest! "I drank my pillow".....for some reason that just cracked me up! The punchdrunk, sleep-deprived humor was hilarious! Thank you for helping Tony!
My dad had his knee replaced and he still refuses to let me help him that man is my motivation.
Kevin and dalton you guys are heroes thanks for helping a veteran out ❤️👍i have great respect for you guys 👍👍👍👍 and the “VAN” lives on 👍👍
The VAN ❤️ She served her purpose, was a fun journey, great videos AND She's paying it forward. Totally enjoying all y'all's content. Subbed to both channels Fellaz👍🏻❤️🤍💙
The van was a trooper. You guys are absolutely awesome for helping a veteran out. Great video as usual
How did I miss this JEM!!! Thank you TH-cam for finally letting me know it exists. Pure gold.
Thank you to you both for helping a Veteran. Awesome video.
Congrats on 100k!!!!! You deserve it!
Very nice gesture for you guys to help out a vet. Love to see a follow up video on this car. Cool ride !
You two are absolute magic together
The collabs with Kevin are getting better and better!! What you guys did for Tony is beyond words!!! PBG!!!!! JYD!!!!
Thanks y’all for helpin out the vets 😊
Very cool thing you guys did! Im surrounded by vets & in our neighborhood, we love them and support them in any way we can....well done guys
You're killin' it, man! Beyond happy for you!
Thanks Jen! What an adventure!
I think it is a great thing that you and Kevin stopped in Phoenix to help the Veteran do a engine improvement. My uncle was a Vietnam vet so I have a ton of respect for our veterans
Proud of you guys for helping this vet
You guys are awesome for helping this man enjoy his car again great job
after watching the van episode and this one , you 2 just seem to have so much fun together!
Absolutely agree with Tony, watching Dalton work is like watching myself work haha
Dalton and Kevin this was the most crazy way of an engine install. I have ever seen. And dang it runs. Awesome. Think Tony was impressed as well. The two neighbors were a help. But, you guys stole the show. Dalton can’t wait to see what you two can get into next time around .😂 💯👊👍
Great job from everyone involved
7:56 we get to see a little Tappy-Tap action... great video! Can't wait to see the rest of this trip..
then later.... "how do you burn water?" lol... Classic Dalton...
Now that was a fantastic show. Well done both of you 🇬🇧👍🏻
Glad you guys are looking out for our veterans! What a fantastic adventure.
That's a hell of a working vacation you two got.
Fantastic content; shame the intake didn't make it, but its clearly ready for it, that Desoto is itching to roll again.
Oh my goodness Tony is humble, he is truly a good man.
I can't believe the amount of sludge in this engines cooling system. Great job guys!
You'll be even more shocked when you see how good the van was
@PoleBarnGarage the fact that you got from Texas without really any issues. The great car in the sky must have blessed the engine if what was in it, made it to Arizona
Go on the VAN, what an epic adventure 🤙🏻, loved watching every minute of it. Great work guys 💪🏻
Yessss! I've been waiting for this to come out! You rock Dalton!
Thanks man!
You guys are a great team.The neighbors helping was awesome.
Great episode. You guys really did that vet a solid. Want to say he has great neighbors as well those guys stepped right up. 😊
Also I'm very happy y'all helped a disabled vet just cuz you had the ability to! More people should follow your example!
You guys are really great for doing this for a disabled veteran. I am sure he would do it himself if he could. Its too bad you broke that old Orange Harbor Freight Reciprocating Saw. I have one like it and mine is over 10 years old and still works like a champ! The newer ones just don't look as tough. Mine even came with a new set of brushes. Maybe put the engine and transmission in the DeSoto! It would be "much more reliable" then. LOL
I had an angle grinder burn up. It was Dewalt or Black and Decker forever after that!
What a nice guy. I'm so happy for him.
Thanks for supporting our veterans!
Love it when you and Kevin get together it such fun and laughter 😃 looking forward to the jaaagggg
Awesome video, as a mopar guy you did make me cry a little. Lol. Just because we are different, doesn't make us bad. 🤣
It's ok to be different if it makes sense 😂
@@PoleBarnGarage Well what fun is it if it makes sense?😂🙃
Lots of people showed up to help that's awesome engine pulling party 🥳 alright Dalton @Pole Barn Garage
Just subscribed to this channel and I’m enjoying it, love the comedy aspect 😅 keep up the good work guys
Welcome aboard!
Well thank you all the way from Canada!
The only two channels that I audibly yell HELL YEAH!! whenever they upload a video. Polebarn and Junkyard digs.
So awesome! You guys are great.
Thanks so much!
I just wanted to say that I subscribed to your channel for 1. Content 2. Your dry humor 3. Bleeping out bad words and not using them yourself 4. That you helped a USAF Veteran as I am one myself !

This is awesome helping another fellow Veteran like myself. I would never luck into good guys like you to come help me with my wifes car. Thank you all for great video.
Tony, thank you for your service. Your DeSoto is gonna rock! RIP, van!
Followed the whole story, starting at the new ranch. Then I watched JYD and now PBG. Great content for a good reason. Well done Men.
I'm so happy to find your guys' video. This is going to help me with my 1956 desoto.... thanks for Tony service.
Such a fun journey. To know that "The Van" TM will live on, helping a Veteran bring his project back to life is exactly what 'car guy' culture is all about.

The two of you are so funny and it looks like you had a good time.
Awesome I enjoyed this build. Too bad the intake didnt show up. Would love to see a video of the intake install and the exhuast headers too.
Sir. We know these guys. They could really mess this engine swap up. But they are truly trying to help. We always give them that. Good Luck Sir. I hope life is better for you.
Hope you finally got some sleep Dalton. Great video, you are always entertaining to watch, and your face at the Twisted Tea is exactly how i looked when i tried one. Im no quitter so i finished the can, but will never have another one lol. You guys are awesome, thank you.
What???? No self tappers?
Amazing job👍🏻
You guys rock👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait to see the Jag come to life😊
Have a super weekend!
😂😂
What a Great Team! Definitely loving the Collaboration between you guys!!! Hilarious!!!
Gotta do a follow up on this! That car is gonna be too bad ass not to. Good on ya for helping him out.
Great work guys. Thank you for helping your new Vet friend.
I like Kevin running the realtors day.
Also like how the firing order, cylinder numbers, and distributor rotation are blatantly cast into the intake manifold staring them in the face.
It's Alive, Alive! The transplant of The Vans heart to the Desoto is nearly complete. 😊
I appreciate all that helped. That was a really good thing you
Guys did for that man. That’s what this country is all about! Thank you 🇺🇸
God Bless for helping. What a good couple of videos. It was a riot to watch on a 64" Tv. The Van was a Trooper slipper. Hidden in plain sight.
Good thing you got the two guys to help out. Kudos to those guys, also.
You guys rock! God bless you giving this worthy Vet a leg up on his DeSoto! Long live THE VAN!
Love it we need more people like this helping the Vets. Great job Guys.
Very nice of you guys to do this for him. Looking forward to the Jag.
Way to give back guys. That van will live on!
Awesome job guys. Gr8 seeing you team up
This is such a cool thing that you have done for this veteran. And you got extra free help too!
Thank you for your service tony.
As a Army Retiree I just wanted to say thanks for helping one of my brothers out with his project.
