Looks like only 999,995 view to go so the Maple Leaf gets saved and a whole lota fender repair videos on the way for us!!!!! Moms awesome out there saving these old trucks for you to work . Keeping you busy and outa trouble LOL
I've worked in Ten Countries, Eight States and Five Provinces. Your neighbourhood, ( passed through last Month ) is the most Exciting for me, Marveling at all those Beautiful old Cars & Trucks in Fields. I so appreciate you sharing your skills and Quest . Keep it up , You are a Force for taking on a challenge.
Kyle, love your attitude your so laidback your comatose🥱. Well Red as a rolling chassis, and keep the motor for another project. Better get your million views or 300 patrons so the maple leaf can be saved.😃👍🏴
Love those old trucks, we've got a 48 chevy grain truck that's been on our family farm for 50 years. As always enjoyed your show. Keep up the good work 👍
Holy moly, i thought you'll buy only one project, but looks like you have cleaned the junkyard off early 50's GM made pick ups. Forward to see whats going on next!
You'll doubtless be glad to know that you've been instrumental in my purchase of a rare pickup truck. Your comment on Scott's video got me interested and I just had to have a Powell truck of my own. Fortunately (amazingly), Matchbox produced one a couple of years back and one is en route to me as I write. Yellow too! You seem to be cornering the market in Chevys. Happy hammering! P.S. I think that's moose scat.
KYLE, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I literally stumbled upon a 1949 Chevy Thriftmaster last week, thus let the education begin. You definitely did not go wrong on those pickups. They are sure the rage down here in the Southern states.
Hi Glen! They are popular here too, plus lots of flippers are coming up from the US and buying all our stuff to resell down there for insane prices! Hope all is well with Oscar and yourself! Thanks for watching!
That'll polish out! A friend of mine used to own a panel van version of that truck. I helped him pull out the 327 and put in an original 235 six. It was a good choice.
Very nice acquisition. Plenty of spare parts. Amazing how that magnetic attraction draws trucks together. You get one and turn around to see 2 more following you. That 3/4 to dump bed might come in handy when you have to drag something home or get rid of something.
Man, these trucks are cool. From your work I’ve seen already, I know you can do great job. Please fix them all. You could use the other trucks floor to make a template to fix the one someone attempted to repair. I hope your gonna fix up all 3. From my couch with my snacks it should be well worth a watch and like 😁.. better than TV here
Saw the glass in your previous video and knew it was for a Chevy pickup! These already have the full complement of "speed holes." Great video and always fun to see 👍
They are neat, but this one was no longer economically feasible to restore. The parts will be used to save 2 or possibly 3 other trucks. Sounds like you need to start buying and restoring stake body trucks!
With the spark plug wires and fan belt under the seat the previous owner reminds me of my dad. Hmmm guess it reminds me of me also LOL. Looking forward to seeing more of your repairs, you're fortunate to have those holes already drilled for bondo will save you lots of time! hahaha
@@CarterAutoRestyling (In humor), Idk there, looks like to nice a neighborhood for a Dean wannabe. - THOUGH your lot would have greater resale potential!!
It’s a bit ironic.. I live in Montreal; my rusty Chevy truck enabler buys them in Alberta and Saskatchewan and drags them back here. Sigh… You’re ahead of the game!
I don't have a guess as far as the critters that made their home in these trucks Kyle but I sure love them and look forward to updates! I've always been partial to the standard cabs but it seems most folks are after the 5 window deluxe cabs. Best to you brother, keep up the great work!
It's a custom cab that has it going for the truck. They sell just about everything to patch it up. Once you get it running someone will want a rolling project.
I am sure a man of your de-rusting talents could tackle any of these acquisitions. I also see plenty of opportunities to showcase your fender straightening talents. Alternatively you could come this side of the Atlantic to showcase your wing repairing skills. The only thing with those trucks for me is the shape of the truck bed itself. The cab and front has nice organic curves but the truck bed is slab sided and has all the shape of a rubbish skip. Have you ever though about making a really nice shaped truck bed that continues the curves and shape of the cab with a nice rounded tail gate?
I had thoughts of using the blue cab and all the roughest parts to mock up a custom truck similar to the Rod and Custom dream truck. I do like how the 1950s studebaker trucks had a round bed.
Omg 😲 it's me,, I'm the crazy horder in my neighborhood,, ohhh well a guys gotta have a hobby, I am surprised you chose another Chevy of that style but it looks like the green one inside is pick of the litter, little cat humor for ya, either way you got some cool stuff, can't wait to see more on what you decide to do with them
Thanks Jeff. I needed something to fix and resell and these trucks are always popular, plus I've got plenty of spare parts to put them together. Eventually I would like to find a 39 to 46 gm truck and a 55-59 because then I will have owned a Chevy truck of every bodystyle from 1935 to the 1990s.
@@CarterAutoRestyling they've always been my go to vehicles, I've had just about anything Chevy has made except for the 47-55 first addition style truck, my daily is a 88 ck1500 and I have a 40 in the works, I'm also building a 47 Ford ratrod truck with a 350 with a WC T5 trans,
That should be the tech tip of the day, when the old lady spends 40 dollars on new wiper blades and asks you to install them. Put a new one on the driver's side of her vehicle and put the other on the driver's side of your truck, they never know.
Kyle being an insane junk hoarder is the best crazy I know! The siren in the background was perfect timing as if they were coming to take you away!

My green 49 is like the 3rd truck. It’s got surprisingly strong paint and is pretty solid.. The 51, a bit rougher. Lol I think I can “save” the green paint.
Oh the green truck is the rotted out cab I'm currently fixing...it looked nice until I took it all apart. Good luck with your paint rescue and thanks for supporting the show!
I finished up all the metalwork and dent repair on the van, now it's off to the owner for bodywork and mechanical. I may have enough footage left from that to do a short before and after video
I wish you lived closer (Wisconsin) so I could donate a few A D parts to you like a 3 speed trans, a rear end and some small items other wise it's in the scrap pile.
In case it helps you, those are early 2000’s Silverado 2500 rims. I know I’ll get hate in the comments for this, but I’d love to see you use your mad sheetmetal skills and make a crew cab out of two of those trucks, Halfass Kustoms style.
Good to know thanks! Halfass Kustoms crewcab is really cool, but I have no use for one. Last night I started working on a plan for some heavy customization on the blue cab and all the rough leftover parts.
Looks like raccoon to me....I'm working on one of those for a friend....shes had it 40 years...put a battery in it and it started right up... runs like a sewing machine...like they all do...cool trucks
It's hard enough to make one good one out of two or three for most mortal men, these three appear to be screwed in the same places. I'm subscribed for this rodeo. Do they sell Bondo in 55 gallon drums? lol
Six inch thick paint fixes everything... a kylon rebuild. Actually once started, and lots of scrap pieces of sheet metal donated from a dead body like back of the cab, parts of the roof, a dead fender all lend to not buying metal. A bit of patience an dang good wire feed and then someplace out of the wind. I've been known to cut the body mounts out and copy the pieces till it is a usable piece, work from one side to the other. Patch panels are highly overrated, and if I can get all four corners to be in line and usable, the floors then go fast. Bead rollers and a planishing hammer is your friend. New style or older like these usually wind up with swinging pedals as I never cared for the under the cab master cylinders, clutch linkage is usually harder to fix than just going hydraulic... a good cab is only one with major rust out fixed.. same as you probably do
I prefer the stock pedals and clutch, but to each their own. I agree a lot of the aftermarket patch panels are unnecessary, but with the price of steel these days I have found certain pieces are cheaper to buy and manipulate to fit than build from scratch.
you can use the three trucks........... and build a quarter? of one 🙃 plus thee bins of rusty tin left over . your business plan is good do the rust repair /metal finishing then sell them
He sells them whole. There's a phone number on some of the vehicles and he also sells stuff on Kijiji if you want to contact him. I believe he currently has a 36 Maple Leaf and a late 30s international truck listed.
Every time I drive by I am too scared to stop. I fear that I would also purchase a “project “ Have you ever stopped at the one just East of North Battleford on 16?
@@1950specialdeluxe Wise move, he's a great salesman...I end up with another vehicle or two every time I stop in haha. I haven't been to the one east of Battleford, I usually don't make it that far north, but I'll have to make a trip out there someday!
@@sheldondyck8631 Yeah, sadly most of the stuff out there had all the good parts stripped off before he bought it! I can't remember the last time I've seen an early Hemi powered Chrysler product for sale that still had the engine in it haha.
300k subs 1m views. Well sooner or later you'll be going to get that Maple 🍁 leaf and I reckon it won't be as long as it's already been sitting there (if you follow my meaning)
Yep and the drive to make it happen. Just a thought for you to think about. I think it would be a great build for you. Fab up a new bed and you could have a nice roll back style tow truck to get all your projects around with. That's what I'm planning on doing with my 38 diamond t. I have a couple videos of it on my channel. Haven't done anything to it yet its just the matter of time and money haha. Check out my videos if you'd like 👍 Have a good day and keep up the good work 👏
Wow, too many decisions you want me to make on this video! My brain is sore! The battery needs one of those sweet projects guy to fix it! They can save every battery on the earth! Thought the blue truck could just use a buff! I think it is better shape then you think. Its all about the lighting! While you at it, maybe just throw a bunch a money at one of those trucks. You will feel much better! That is all the advice your unclemark has this episode.
That's not junk, it's rusty GOLD ! Good Save, it sounded like the mix of a poem, per your opening statement,
Do these acquisitions come under the heading of "questionable life decisions?" Can't wait to see you tackle this! Love what you do!
Absolutely! Haha

I fear that I would also purchase a “project “
Have you ever stopped at the one just East of North Battleford on 16?
@@CarterAutoRestyling there was a 55 or 56 Desoto there awhile back that I really wanted but the engine was already gone. No hemi no deal lol
@@1950specialdeluxe Wise move, he's a great salesman...I end up with another vehicle or two every time I stop in haha.
I haven't been to the one east of Battleford, I usually don't make it that far north, but I'll have to make a trip out there someday!
@@sheldondyck8631 Yeah, sadly most of the stuff out there had all the good parts stripped off before he bought it! I can't remember the last time I've seen an early Hemi powered Chrysler product for sale that still had the engine in it haha.
‘Interesting location for a spark plug wire’ 🤣🤦♂️
Glad you got a laugh from that one!
Hey that was my guess! 🥳 Do I win a prize!?!? 😄
Just the satisfaction of knowing you were right haha.
@@CarterAutoRestyling That's good enough for me! 👏
300k subs 1m views. Well sooner or later you'll be going to get that Maple 🍁 leaf and I reckon it won't be as long as it's already been sitting there (if you follow my meaning)
Haha here's to hoping!
Very nice to see that you will be out of trouble and in the garage for the next five years....better then prison; maybe. hahaha
Prison has free meals and shelter, plus solitary confinement so it looks more appealing every day haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling lol
The price was low enough. You know what you're doing.
I wouldn't say I know what I'm doing, but I'm too stubborn to fail haha
👍👍
Turn the danger up to 11
Always!
Fab the flat bed into a car hauler
Anything is possible with time and money!
Yep and the drive to make it happen. Just a thought for you to think about. I think it would be a great build for you. Fab up a new bed and you could have a nice roll back style tow truck to get all your projects around with. That's what I'm planning on doing with my 38 diamond t. I have a couple videos of it on my channel. Haven't done anything to it yet its just the matter of time and money haha. Check out my videos if you'd like 👍 Have a good day and keep up the good work 👏
Wow, too many decisions you want me to make on this video! My brain is sore! The battery needs one of those sweet projects guy to fix it! They can save every battery on the earth! Thought the blue truck could just use a buff! I think it is better shape then you think. Its all about the lighting! While you at it, maybe just throw a bunch a money at one of those trucks. You will feel much better! That is all the advice your unclemark has this episode.
