I think everyone loves a restoration/rebuild video series, but you know how much it would cost. Parts are needed, so it makes sense to part it out too. But the idea of seeing that truck remaining functional for years to come is something we all appreciate. Save it!!!
Look into its history, it may be from somewhere in the rust belt. If it were my decision, I'd fix her up and put her to work. You know better than I do the harder you work those old Cummins the better they run. Like you said the combination of 12 valve and manual transmission is becoming super rare and go up in value and there's good reason for that... pre def and single wire, need I say more?
Man grandma’s truck sounds badass. It would be very cool to save what you could on it then salvage the rest or do a 12 valve swap on the yellow truck. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
I wouldn’t restore it to the level of grandmas truck but a fender, some suspension parts, and a little electrical work and you’d have yourself a nice flip
That was cool Sam. I laughed at the vice grip garage reference. Fixing it would provide good content for the channel. I subscribed for the truck content. I have learned a lot about my own truck from this channel.
Dude rockin out all the cool Rams. Me: “oh, a truck with low miles! Sweet! 3.42 gears in a dually!?! The GCVW isn’t even high enough to tow a gooseneck with a CTL with a mulcher. Is a used Ram with a G56 and 4.10 too much to ask? FML!”
This right here is exactly why I love 12 valves.... Spent all that time sitting there and as soon as you realized it was the shutoff solenoid it fired right up.. It was a little rough and stalled a few times but listen to how smooth it's running now...
Personally I’d fix it up enough to make it safe for the road,do a little engine work,new tires and put winches front and rear and make an off road recovery truck out of it. Then make videos doing off-road recovery.
The starter of the Dodge Ram 12 valve Cummins sounds like it’s laughing sounds awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I just bought a triple axle diamond C38 ft gooseneck and man you weren't lying those trailers are amazing one of the best pulling trailers I've ever had I have a 44 ft PJ gooseneck as well doesn't even compare and it's a very nice trailer love the videos man keep up the great work
I was screaming at the video to check the shutoff solenoid! You got it eventually. Also, I would have removed the air filter cover and checked to make sure there were no nests or dead animals in there. Glad you rescued the old beast. It's hard to kill a Cummins.
I’d enjoy another restoration series. That’s a really cool truck with the factory leather and standard transmission. I’d assume that wasn’t a very common combination.
My suggestion is to find a gen-1 crew cab and body swap it and make it a crew cab shortbed dually.. At least that is what I would do if I had the time and less projects of my own.
I seen your video on your 550 registration for next year and that sucks. And I saw on Google that generators , 2 stroke small engines , and gas powered lawn mowers were also going to be outlawed in California as well. Is there any truth to that. Man I sure hope it's not so for every working man's sake .
All SORE (small off road engines ) illegal for sale in California as of January 2024 . Thanks California ! We will just use battery powered stuff that slave labor is used to pull minerals out of the earth like lithium and cobalt used to make batteries . Look up the cost of green energy it’s a hoax.
@@markbremmer8642 : They realize just fine. They simply don't care. California has been a cesspool of air quality problems for a long, long time. California's underlying problems run much deeper than simple motor vehicle pollution. They have far too many people crammed into a small space with inadequate ventilation. Plain & simple. Beyond all that, follow the money. There's big money to be made in following the trend of "going green" these days. If there weren't, it wouldn't be happening. Humanity seems to thrive on self-inflicted (created) chaos.
We had an obs 7.3 liter that had been sitting outside for 18 years. Finally, we pulled it inside and after about 30 seconds of cranking she fired right up!
That is how they start to rot in NY. Then they get so bad the cab falls off the frame. 8( There is a guy midstate here that is restoring them, from southern trucks. He wants/gets $30k with a rebuilt engine. Almost makes sense now days. 8) --gary
I’d say restore it and put a skirted flat bed in it!!!! Okay so I won’t your opinion on my truck I am restoring.(im 15 btw) so I have a 1974 international harvester 200 4x4 that I am putting a 12v Cummins in w a 5 speed manual what would u think about it when I get it finished would it be cool?
Me personally, I love the restore content, but you spent alot of time on grandma's truck. You and 12 valves just seem to work yourselves out to the correct path.
Hey! Long time subscriber. I love the videos. There are 5 or 6 channels I actually seek out when they post new things, and you always get a click. Anyways - have you considered filming in 4k?
Hi i laugh when you pointed out those little specks of rust its soft lol . Within 4 years they start to look like that around hear in north central PA.
@@VBELTandSON Will do . I did not know how you would feel about that . Tell Tom Chad from Butler st said hi. He is a good kid. I guess not a kid anymore .
Nothin sounds as good as a 12v especially with the stock hx35 that slight sing at idle with a full straight pipe pure music. I sold my wonderful 97 12v after 14 years (always garaged and no winters) with over 500,000 miles only because I was embarrassed at the boat ramp after having to be pulled out a few to many times. I needed a 4x4 for i been through several different trucks since I sold it, the 12v still calls to me. Here in Michigan they are ALL rotted out now. I need another with 4x4
sorry rant alert!!!! god I wish I could say that here in pa that I never see rusted out rocker panels here in a few yrs your new truck is a rust bucket then they change the laws that ya cant have rust hole anywhere or it fails state inspection but they keep tossing salt on the roads and the dam calcium salt brine pre treat 90% of the time they put it down we don't even see any weather its ridiculous. anyway nice find on the 12v. stay healthy and thanks for sharing
Basically in Michigan that truck has zero rust, and would be sold in excellent condition, you can't run a raffle but if we bought a merch package then draw a name from that to pick a winner to buy the truck for let's say 1k
Careful on that starter, they aren’t that great to change 😂. I drove a freightliner cab over that had a Cummins 350 that had a fueling issue, the white smoke would make you sick.

I love seeing old dodges getting put back together I’m all for it brother
I love seeing any old brand even if it’s a Chevy being put back together and restored

I agree with ya right there.
@@laisuresboringadventures7052 true. I'd like to get another 12v as well.

Last year California emissions compliant, first year hydro boost brakes
Love to see that thing fixed up and back on the road!
I freakin love that are saving these trucks. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Right. My 2001 ram 1500 even has 410 gears

I enjoy all the restorations. If all the parts are there and it needs some TLC it could be another flip.

"It's a 12v, that thing will run on used motor oil.". 😂😂. FIX IT!!!!!
You should make videos on doing all the maintenance on it and all the little odds and ends to get it roadworthy
Restore it. Love seeing them on the road!!

Definitely restore it. New tig welded in metal where needed.
All new anti-corrosion brake and gas lines.

Let alone a 12v
If my memory is correct, JM bought that truck from a private party in Salt Lake City many years ago. Might explain the cab rust.
That would make sense
I’d enjoy another restoration series. That’s a really cool truck with the factory leather and standard transmission. I’d assume that wasn’t a very common combination.
I like your videos and how you restores trucks
I’m impressed with the jump pack,did quite a bit of cranking.
On the way to 100K🙏. Another 12valve project💪🏻thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Fix it :) you will make your money back on youtube revenue i guess :) those 12 valves needs to be saved.
My suggestion is to find a gen-1 crew cab and body swap it and make it a crew cab shortbed dually.. At least that is what I would do if I had the time and less projects of my own.
I would love to see you build it like your grandma truck. You have a good eyes when you find 12v so I have to say build it
Now that's a cool truck. These trucks just seem to fall into your lap lol.
I would kill to have a cool project truck like that. Lots to invest into it but saving them from being smashed.
It’s a 12 valve Cummins of course it will start doesn’t take genius either to get her runnning
Go have some fun eh?
Those rims look like the ones that came on my 24v when I bought it but I love the new truck cant wait to se what happens
Restore it,, its an original 5speed truck.. How do u find all these trucks? All I ever see is high mileage over priced crap
‘I am not about to pull a vice grip garage and lick that’ 😂😂 love it! What an awesome find!
You should build it, ain’t making any more of em that’s for sure. You’d get a lot of views and it’ll be worth building it in the long run
I’d love to see a restoration.
Heck, that's what we call a solid truck here. That body is good for at least another 10 years and that would be in Iowa

I need 12 valve Cummins for my 1995 Chevrolet dually
Old 12 smoothed right up. Sounds good 👍
Just found your channel. That LGB hat earned a subscription.
I’d say restore it and put a skirted flat bed in it!!!!

Great truck Sam love them Cummins 🇺🇲
advanced flow engineering = afe same company. had one of their turbos before not much different than stock. makes it a little more fun
I would love something like this for my first truck especially a 12V
Highly recommend
Dam your spoiled!! That's dam near rust free where I come from!!!! 🤣🤣

Hi i laugh when you pointed out those little specks of rust its soft lol . Within 4 years they start to look like that around hear in north central PA.
Glad I don’t live there lol
Nice buy buddy ! I would probably fix her up again....
Looks like the start of a good project. Glad to see you got this truck. We saw you at tractor supply yesterday afternoon .
Should say hi next time🤟🏻
@@VBELTandSON Will do . I did not know how you would feel about that . Tell Tom Chad from Butler st said hi. He is a good kid. I guess not a kid anymore .
I vote put the drive train in the blazer.
I've got a '95 SLT 3500 flatbed automatic with a triple disc torque converter that would be great to have you get in shape...for farm work.
Digging the content. Beautiful landscape in the background looks familiar. I will put a wave out the window if I see you.
I wouldn’t mind seeing it get fixed up for the content. I like the project videos
Sure would like that Lucas Mill back there!!!
Sup Sam. I liked your an Tabotts towing video. Y’all two crack me up 😂😂😂👍👍
PLEASE FIX / RESTORE / RECYCLE THE RAM ....
That bumper was made for that jump pack too sit there! Looks like a decent truck
That’s the truck I really want long bed family size to do work with
Change that now you know. That you keep all your trucks California legal. 😂
turn this rig into a race truck to run in some truck pulls and drag racing. or you can make a burnout truck and get in to cletus's burn out comps
Would a working man's giveaway truck be an issue?

Advanced flow engineering, you know that Means power. Classic.
That one is a perfect donor truck
restore it
She roared right to life and drove out of the grave like it was just running yesterday
Fix the old girl up
Hell that nothing for rust. Come to the north east. The whole bottom of the cab would have been gone
Idk how people are so lucky to find abandoned Cummins I really want a Cummins sense I was a kid still can’t find one worth buying for the asking price
Please put her back to work man, that's a good ol 12v 5 speed Laramie with leather interior, I wouldn't scrap that truck for the world

U should fix it
How much to buy in current condition (to include shipping to Scotland🤣☹️🤣👍🏻). Great channel, particularly liked this video, best wishes.
I could not be arsed trying drive that over here. Left hand drive as well. That makes my old Range rover look small.
Restore her 😬
Another adventure I love this videos so fun and clean air always
That truck is fuckin mint compared to my 12 valve here in NE Indiana
How do I make my 01 Cummins 24 valve to sound like that between gears
Fix it.
Restore it! Absolutely restore it!
Flatbed dually swap? Maybe smokestacks?
LETS GO BRANDON ......LOVE IT ..
Restore the poor girl
Looks like Drummond’s old bumper too.
Fix
Careful on that starter, they aren’t that great to change 😂. I drove a freightliner cab over that had a Cummins 350 that had a fueling issue, the white smoke would make you sick.
Ol starter swap on a 12 valve is a 5 minute job. Or a smack of the hammer lol
That truck in upstate ny would bring 10k easy.
Fix it up!
12valve swap the k5 lol
heh my dads durumax would do that its the fuel system 14:21 atleast for that truck
