@@philiprufus4427 Thank you soo much for the story. I greatly enjoyed reading it. These vehicles are a poignant reminder of what can be accomplished when people work together.
Our Grandparents had the sense to know that, if it wasn't built right, the war would be lost. Not so much today, it seems. Nobody even knows there's a war going on!
Мой дед во время Великой Отечественной войны был водителем такого грузовика "Студебеккер". Эти машины поставлялись к нам в СССР когда шла война . Столько лет прошло , и мы помним и будем помнить наших Советских предков, и будем помнить вас - братья Американцы, как мы плечем к плечу бились против фашистов, мы -на "Курской дуге" , а вы на "Береге Омаха" и других сражениях! Скоро все изменится , будет мир между нашими странами! 🇷🇺🇺🇸
Reminds me of the story of a guy who knocked off the turret of a U SA Korean War tank. He used the tank to haul wood out of our wooded lot in Prospect, Maine back in the early 60's. "Why the tank?" I asked the 85 year old dairy farmer of the adjoining lot. He said nothing else could get up the hillsides and granite boulders! Tough resourceful funny folks in Maine...a lot like Alaskans. Miss my visits to Beaver Creek, Whitehorse and Dawson...love the folks in Alaska.
We are a Stude family... Lots and lots of them ...My dad was a Korean War era Marine Reservist and later a Truck driver in life ...he's in hospice now... Ive been showing him tons of utoob vids he's never had access to. This one made him smile big time. I always dreamed of a US 6 but Ive never found one at the right time.
Pretty funny. I was born in 63. I remember my Dad putting a garbage can lid with charcoal briquettes under the oil pan of an F150. That was the late 60's in Calgary, Alberta.
So rare to see a old rusty truck going around a snowy trail with little issues free from the technology crap that modern trucks have, and the will to last forever
I built log houses in my log yard in Palmer with a 42 Study, chopped to 4x4, using a winch in the front with an a-frame boom. I worked winters, and it always started, with NO breakdowns in 6 years of daily use. I loved that truck.
That reminds me of the stories my grampa told from the ww2 era, when Ruzzia attacked Finland where im from. Drivers drained radiators n blocks to buckets, which they carried to tents heated with wood stoves, and liquids were kept warm over nights next to stove so u could pour em back in the engines at morning.
My Father told me a story from when he was in the Army of the GDR as a Tankman, in the winter they had a building where engine oil was kept at something like 60°C and when they had to start the engines fast the 4 crewman would run there carrying big buckets, get the hot oil, fill the engine with it and be able to start them really fast. They also had compressed air starters so they didnt need to relie on the electric starters. (He was on a T-55 btw) He said the Building in which the tanks where parked was just completly filled with thick, white diesel exhaust fumes when they all started at the same time despite some huge fans on the roof :D
@@vladpanich2699 pretty much still the same eternal most potential attacker country, regardless of the name. It grows, gets smaller, sees nazis everywhere.
Great 6x6. I liked the shot from the underneath so we could see how that is configured. I’d rather see stuff like this than shiner city trucks that can’t get wet or dirty. Cheers from Denver!
when i was a 16 i joined a fire company that had a studebaker fire truck - think it was a 48 , 6volt- pretty much like that- was a brush truck. this brings back some memories..
That old truck is so ugly it's gorgeous. What a beast. I grew up with a guy who worked in the woods and had a skidder. I'd ask, "Where can you go with that thing?" and he would answer "Wherever I want to." Your old war rigs remind me of that.
My Dad worked at different mines in northern Ontario Canada and told us about the oil from bulldozers being drained the night before and kept beside the wood stove. Only way to get them started in extreme cold apparently. The guy who built a small fire under the oil pan can light the motor on fire due to oil leaks. Never tried either myself. Lol
That's the way those old girls were. A little heat for them and they are ready to go get loosened up ready for the snow. Thanks for sharing this video. Really enjoy see old iron back running again.
Brought back memories. In the 60's we used a tiger torch and a piece of stovepipe with an elbow on it. Apparently it could end up drying out your pan gasket.
I always get excited watching your trucks operate, they are so cool and unstoppable beasts. This one runs so smooth, it’s like an old singer sewing machine.
Enjoyed the video. There is something special about seeing the old trucks outside in the snowy cold and then starting them up and going for a drive. The sounds of the cold snow, the steel and the engine. It's all good. BTW I love the undercarriage footage.
That was awesomely relaxing - 13 minutes well spent. Since it's snow for the next 6 months, one of things I'm sure to come down with is a fever for flatheads. That, and taking your many cool rides through the winter wonderland, will more than suffice. Cheers!!!
If I had knew more about Alaska 35-40 years before I got old and crippled. I would have tried to live there. I might not a been tough enough but I would tried it. It looks like a great place to live in videos and tv shows
The US6 was an awesome unit, Studebaker did it well. I had a M16 grain truck, with the bigger 6 cylinder, and indented firewall. Was seized when I got it, a bit of Marvel's Mystery Oil, and it ran like a champ. Cheers
My grandpa was in the Air Force in the 50s and early 60s and he told me they used to drain the oil and antifreeze out of the engines of the trucks at night and fill them up with warm oil and antifreeze in the morning! Great video and great collection of old trucks!
I recently procured an all original 1959 f600 4+2 dump truck. Did the same thing myself recently minus the snow lol. The look on my Sheriffs face when I zipped through a stop because of bad brake lines was priceless. Cheap cost, and low amount/almost work free truck of this build quality is damned near impossible to come by anymore. Just wish I could find some damn budd wheels like those! Beautiful rig and piece of history!
We farmed in northern Wisc. in the 50's and cold winters were part of every day life. Dad would build a charcoal briquettes fire under the old IH F-20 and cover the engine area with tarps. It always amazed me it didn't catch on fire. It leaked grease and oil every where. But after a couple hours we would be able to crank it.
I grew up where the Studebaker were built (South Bend, IN), and will always love their cars and trucks. In many ways, they were ahead of their time, and seemed to be damn sturdy. I'm always happy to see them so far from home!
That's a really neat old truck I can see why the military had them built like they did they have lots of clearance in the snow and mud. The old truck videos are really neat
Gotta say I admire your tenacity. When you get old bones like me, the prospect pf venturing out in 2 feet of snow does not sound too appealing. At least we can watch you bring the ghosts of the past back to life along with an alternative lifestyle. Cheers Mate !
I have owned one of those here in Australia for over 50 years ; it has always been shedded and is in good order. It’s main function is as a fire truck. I have reverence and respect for it and it’s designers.
When I was a kid in 60s-70s ,we had to leave the car at the gate when visiting my grandparents' farm. Grandpa would meet us with a team of horses and a sleigh. Dad would take out the battery, drain the oil and coolant to keep warm in the house for the weekend. Wes heat the oil and coolant just before leaving ,on the woodstove. Don't ever remember the car not starting.
A friend of mine would pack a old army tent in the mountains by horses during hunting season heated by a wood stove and stay two weeks ! I've never seen a buck that big ! 😂👍✌
My Dad passed away 9 years ago, he told me he and his brothers used one for logging. It had a front winch and they used to run the trucks bumper up against a tree and winch huge logs up hills. He also said they would drive up on a broken down truck fully loaded and pull both loaded to the mill. They hand loaded the truck, men were true men then. Thanks for a Great video.
That looked fun and the snow is nice and deep i used to love taking my 4x4 threw the deep snow to try and get it stuck lots of spinning but i always got it out no problem .....
What a piece of engineering those Studebakers great cars n trucks, got old late 40's and early 50's Ford trucks and will never give it up, this is dependable tech,
Like a bear waking up from hibernation. I had seen an old Soviet documentary where the soldier did the same thing to warm up the oil in his army van. Pretty cool stuff.

The engine pre-heat method is such a simple trick that seems so genius, but man what an awesome old truck! Love the fine details you capture with your editing style. No bs, just raw sounds. Subbed.
Memories...back in the '70's had to do that at the off grid cabin I stayed at in the interior of Alaska. Pull the battery and keep it by the barrel stove until you got ready to leave. And heat the oil and engine the same way.
Thank you for the video reminded me of my grandpa when he used to give me a ride on his 1941 Willie jeep military vehicle. It was all original. It still runs to this day.
Coming from South Bend Indiana ( my birthplace also ) makes me proud that at least 1 good thing was produced there and is still living. They don't build them like that anymore. I'd buy some tarps for those things to keep the cabs dry. Nice vudeo
I remember very well watching and helping guys use BBQ grills under the oil pans at 5am in order to start up the diesel trucks and be ready to work @ 7am some of the old detroits needed a shot of start fluid also
Awesome video there Alaskan! We all appreciate you sharing whatever you can of the lifestyle you enjoy up there. We certainly do! Thank you again..Bill in Vegas..
My grandfather had one of these machines I Czechoslovakia. He bought it right after the WWII, probably from the US troops leaving the equipment behind in Europe. Good machine.
That’s cool, my brother told me about a Tug on the CT River that you would have to open the side of the engine block and make a fire in the piston to get it hot enough to fire the diesel fuel, it’s amazing how people made due with what they had back then
Yes the old ways still work and nice to see it running in the snow. Need to put a cover on that open windshield. More cold starts and any project you are working on.
Looks good brother, that old chick is no stranger to the cold Alaskan winters. Take good care of my old warhorse, and see you next year!

When the world still had a somewhat normal pace..
It was a tough time in the EU for sure
Imagine when 90% BM-13 Katusha rocket artillery systems was maede on US6 cuz USSR bit strugle to produce their own trucks.
