Abandoned Truck Rescued From Woods After 50 Years- 1946 International Overtaken By Nature - RESTORED

Ain't such a cool old truck. Yeah. Looks like it's died back a little bit since last time we've been here. Yeah because this was all it's like green and vinyl. All them vines died off ain't they. Not to not to say it ain't gonna be a chore though. Oh no it's. I can't tell if that's grown into the bumper or not. Looks like maybe a small limb may have grown in between it but Yeah. Maybe not even then. You tell it's been sitting out here a long time. Look there's like little shrubs growing in the bed of the thing. You think just try to get it trimmed out from behind the truck. Yeah I think so. Get get this one that's leaning over it. I think most of that that's above it's fine but. Oh wow. Got the key in the ignition. Lord. Oh wasp. Scared me. Come out to meet us didn't they. Yeah there's one right there. We'll just go ahead and leave y'all inside. All right yeah I figure just start. Looks like let me check it out back here. I think there's an old four-wheeler or something we might have to rescue in the process. I don't know if you can rescue it but move it at least. Yeah ain't got no motor on it that's probably good. There's a big old tree growing into it there though. I don't know we'll see. You said it definitely moved cut through this. We could try to miss it but I bet you it's going to need to be moved out of the way. Yeah because there's quite a bit right there. I got plenty of back up to this one now so we'll grab some saws I guess and just start cutting at it and maybe just pile it up behind that old ford there. See if we can get it somewhere in the way for us later. Yeah see if we can get it out for them. So you guys probably remember this old international truck just sitting in the background of the peanut van we cut out from here. A really cool truck we wanted to buy it so bad unfortunately the owners just weren't ready to turn loose of this one yet. So we did offer to go ahead and cut it out of the woods for them get it pulled out of here where it's just not going downhill any longer. Hopefully see maybe this thing has a motor in it I don't know why it was parked we know nothing about this truck. So we're just going to go ahead and try to do them a little favor get it cut out see exactly what kind of bones we've got here and just move on from there. So this is from the when we cleaned that from the van the peanut van. That old tailgate say Dodge on it. That's a Dodge bed or just they put a Dodge tailgate on it. I don't know. Getting some of this stuff might help you get in there a little easier. Watch for fallen limbs. I've never been to a rainforest but I would think it kind of looks like that right there. Yeah. Pretty neat. How's that side of the truck look? Can't tell a whole lot yet. Does look like it's all there. Yeah it's all here. Not dented up like I figured it might be. Is that tree growing through the bed right there? I don't yeah I see it there now. Couldn't see it while I called it yet. That might be fun. There can't be much of a floor left in this. What is it? Oh I see him up there. Yeah he's up in that tree. One of the biggest ones we've seen The rats out here want to be movie stars. Yeah. Think there'll be a motor in it? I think so. Oh man you can see the logo's good on this side. Oh yes sure can. I hadn't even paid attention to that. At least these ones are kind of dead. Yeah. I don't think we're gonna have to mess with that front one. No it looks like it's fine. Unfortunately there's a ton of old brush back here. We'll have to move from a previous. Right. Clean up. I don't know if we'll be able to move this or it's gonna have to be cut first. Yeah. Solid. I'm gonna I'm gonna say this front one's gonna have to come off for sure to be able to even move it forward and that one's I don't know what that one's gonna do. I don't know let's get this one out of the way I guess. All righty. Maybe it'll allow us to twist the front end over. Maybe. That one's gonna be fun. You can see it anyways. It looks like it's grown all around that frame down there. Oh yeah. We may have to get a helicopter and just lift it out of there. That's gonna be fun to get to. Yeah. We may not be able to. Feel like I'm cutting this tree's hair. That actually just fell off where it was drawn on to it so. Oh that's good. I'd say it's probably a good thing it ain't got a motor in it. It'll be a little a little lighter. Yeah. I don't think that one's gonna run though. No. I have no clue where to go with it. I was gonna go up that way maybe. Oh yeah we probably could. Kind of hide it again. It's like it was never never moved. They'll appreciate that. I think we're getting pretty close to the point of trying to get the trailer over here. What do you think? Cut that down a little more. I think yeah. I think if we can get it down some more that way because we're going to be right in the way of it. That should work. I think we've got most of everything cleared out around the truck that's going to allow us to be able to get to it and pull it out of here. So now we're just going to kind of back the trailer up here. We're going to try to shoot some air to these old tires. Sometimes they'll air up. A lot of times they surprise us but I highly doubt this thing's going to row. I'm sure the brakes are locked up solid but once we get it pulled out make sure nothing's hanging on that front tree we didn't trim off there and try to see if the thing's got a motor in it but if the tires are air up that'll help us a lot of getting it on the trailer. That work? I think so. Once again we're kind of on high ground so I hope this trailer will let down all the way level. I guess I'll see real quick. I was trying to make sure we didn't land on this. Pretty close huh? Yeah we got about a two inch gap here but you might have to put a board down or something. You want to try to shoot air to them tires? Yeah I think I think it's I mean everything else is aired up for us so far. Use this new gauge Sam Should reach. Try it out. Look like they have tubes in them or hard to tell. Coming up. It's hard to tell. I don't know how much to put in it. That's probably, it's not to make it round. Yeah. Hear a little bit of movement up here but try this back one. Mouth stands up underneath the dirt. Yeah this wheel's rusted out around the, must have a tube in it. This one may actually already be holding air. One big old good old tater digger on the back of this thing. So one of them's got air? That front one I think does. This back one we may not, it looks like it's off the bead but if it's got a tube in it it won't matter. That one had a tube in it because it started squirting water. It's rusted out around the bow stem. Bow stem underground? Yeah. Probably going to be rusted on that one too. Surely that front one ain't got air in it. I wouldn't think so but I mean probably the tire is probably just hard as can be but still something. Shoot water out. That's a good thing about a lot of these they did have tubes in them so they'd, there's no way you'd ever had that tire up without that tube. That sounded a little scary didn't it? Yeah. You want to call that good? We'll call that good. Check the front one or? We can check it. Let me put this back on. It's down in the ground so much that you can't really. Yeah we may have to jack it up even to get it to start to pull. Who knows. I'm going to check to see if it's in gear. Okay. Not that I really think it's going to roll but it's stuck in gear. I ain't getting no air. It may have come unplugged. Oh it kinked, hang on. I was going to say something ain't right. Will that door open from your side do you think? I will check. It took air. Did it? Yeah. I can't really get it to, I feel like from that angle it might be easier get it to try to go in neutral and we may just have to drag it in gear. Like I said I'm sure the brakes are locked up probably won't make no difference anyways. You're like me looking everywhere. There we go. Cool. That's good. I don't know if it's got a motor it's got a transmission. Well we want to grab that snatch block and hook to the something back here. Yeah we should be able to find something back here. It's an old truck bed surely it's got some kind. They don't look too bad. It's not all rusted out. It's a bunch of surface rust. You want me to I think I can get up underneath there and reach that axle. If you can just loop it around it then I can get this out here. Yeah which you think come over. That side's better because I see a brake hose coming off this side. Yeah I'm trying to make sure though there ain't nothing curled up. I'll let you know right after it bites you. Yeah I'm sure you'll let me know. Well the wood on the floor actually looks pretty good shape underneath there. Oh you've already got the cable back here. I didn't even realize that. I'm earning my keep on this one. Trying to anyways. Probably don't even need that d-hook just run that if that'll fit if the chain will go through it. It may not. Nope that's the smallest. Did we grab that? Yeah it should be probably laying up underneath me. Easy enough. I'm gonna take this off. It should just kind of ride. Probably slide it up at the front or take it off. I'm surprised they're still. I figured we'd have to shoot air to them again before we started pulling. We want to try to see if it moves. Yeah it should move. That's how we might have to. Will it move easy? That would be a different question. We might have to jack it up and put some boards under the tires depending on how big of a hole the front one. That one over there might be in a pretty big hole. It wasn't bad. It was it was kind of shallow. I'm gonna give this back one and that front one over there. They're rolling. Well they were. That one is. This one was rolling. Yeah they're rolling. I'd have never, I'd have, I'd have never guessed that. Doesn't have a floor board over on this side. I don't know. That's what I saw. It looks like maybe a panel went over it or something. Oh yeah. Does the steering wheel try to turn? Probably hard to tell. Yeah. I'll keep going. Pretty good right there. Yeah this one wants to live. It wants to leave for sure. Yeah. Trying to see if I can see a motor. We're good. Let's see if we can get this hood open real quick. I'm just curious. Pop the hood latch. I thought that was it. I thought that's simple enough to see. I don't know. Right there. I don't know which way it goes. Maybe lock solid. Let me get that uh PB Blaster. Trying to see if I had something to kind of pry it with on that thing. I may have to find it. I don't know what that is. What is it? Oh nasty. Mouse latrine. Can you get that to move that way? Need something to pry it with. Didn't want you to have very big fingers. Oh it's already open. You're great. There's a motor in there. Sure is. Yeah wow. I mean it wasn't nowhere for him to build a big nest but. An old flathead six-cylinder huh? Yep. Some of the wires ate up a little bit but other than that. I'm just gonna be curious. Yeah that's you thinking the same thing I am. Will it turn over? Yeah. I just want to make sure that there's nothing. Come on. It's too loose. Yep. Hard to say. Tell you what. Let me put it in gear. Try to pull it and see if it looks like it's going to move. Okay. Yeah I didn't think that. I can see it a little better. We're just sliding now. We done made it too far up on the trailer. Yeah. Oh well. We'll figure that out. Now I might have to pull it in gear. The good news is the part that's got a. Right. Is already up on there. No we're gonna have to try to get it because it's trying to slide this way. There you go. And pull it from this side. All right. Do I need to push or you think you can clear it? I'm clearing it. Yeah. Okay. As long as I'm okay on your side. Yeah we got plenty of room over here. Can you turn the wheels towards the driver's side? Oh yeah. I just barely made it up on the trailer on this side. You ready? Yeah. I think our cables. That's what I said. It sounds like we're binding up there in the same spot. That's something you can put in. I got a block if not. That noise you heard while ago and you're wondering what it was. I think it was that tire finally. Pop it on like I'm supposed to. Oh yeah. Four or five more foot to go. It's probably good. Get some straps put on it I guess. I'm gonna put it in gear then. All right. Well guys I think it's safe to say that we can mark this old girl as another successful rescue out here at the Hudson Farm. We really appreciate the family allowing us to come out here and try to retrieve this thing. It actually went pretty smooth. I mean we cut out the trees that were surrounding it. I don't know how long this truck's been sitting here but it's been here a long time. I was really shocked that the brakes weren't even locked up on it. Most of the time that's given that they're always locked up. So we're not really sure on the motor of this thing if it's locked up or not but we'd love to get it back to the shop kind of dig into it a little bit more. If we can get it up and running for them as well that'll be super cool too. So we're just going to go ahead and head back to the shop. Thanks for watching this video. Don't forget to subscribe. Ring that bell. We'll see you guys on the next rescue.
