RESCUING 1940's Willys Jeeps with my Brothers! ~ Saving a Man's LIFETIME Collection of Willys!

oh right through the door here we've got a little bit more of the barn where the Jeeps are so you walk through here and check it out there's a Willie's Jeep and there's a Willie's Jeep and there's a Willy's Jeep and there are parts for these everywhere they're all over in the buckets there's an engine right there there's an engine on a stand obviously it's mostly a block but on the shelves there are all kinds of parts and the plan will be to get them all and then they can go with the Jeeps so these are three of them and this one here is pretty complete and apparently runs really well and this one is very complete and runs really well um the one in the corner over here is basically just a rolling chassis there's no engine in it there's no transmission in it um looks like there's some more parts and pieces sitting in there a couple Transmissions looks like some steering columns seats up here we've got you know some hoods and there's a tailgate right there you know they've got pieces for these everywhere so there are a total of five um these three here that have been in the barn let's open this door out here right here it's number four and this is actually a military one I don't know a lot about it at the moment but um it apparently is complete and it runs the only problem is the body is extremely rusted out and so um you know that obviously detracts from a lot but at the same time most of it's there [Music] yeah the engine is all in there still has a transmission apparently this one runs very well check that out old T3 headlight bulbs those are awesome so and then we're gonna go way back over there and that's where Jeep number five is and it's actually like five and a half because there's a chassis a whole bunch of body panels these are the doors to a cab a full cab for one of these Jeeps so apparently this is the one that they used the most um which makes sense I mean it's like a a copper brown color it's kind of cool um but they've got a sprayer set up on it that we'll be leaving here and then as I said the plan will be to get all of the parts and pieces for all of them and basically help them clean up the barn and and uh and then we're gonna get the putting them together getting them running playing with them yeah should be a lot of fun I'm excited so what else do we have here there's another engine right there I mean there are just Parts on that shelf everywhere then we got awesome old International here it's at an international 340 utility that's a cool tractor and then we've got a Farmall m She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy that's a beautiful tractor and then over here there is a Massey Ferguson I don't know what model this is but apparently it runs really well [Music] pretty cool tractor she also thinks that one's sexy as well but yeah I am absolutely pumped to be able to find all of these Jeeps all in one place and one of the biggest reasons that I went after potentially this deal here is that everything's here all the parts all the pieces all of the extras it would be really hard to find all the parts and pieces that I have found here all in one place if I needed them and so the Jeeps range from 1946 to 1960 or I think it's 1964 I believe is the oldest one but most of them I think they're all in the 40s and early 50s so yeah let's go ahead and get I think we're going to go ahead and try and get this one started up apparently this one runs we can put a battery in it this is the one they've used the most recently of them all and this is the one they used the most out of them so they say that we throw a battery on it and it'll start right up so we're gonna give it a shot but we'll just look at it and I love these old Flathead engines so it's a flat head inline four and it looks like we've got the little 90 for the the air cleaner off battery goes here yeah it's dirty and dusty but it's exactly what I expected pretty awesome so yeah let's get the battery in there and we'll uh we'll see what happens they even have a battery for it so drop this in okay all right now you look around you smell for smoke that sounds better where right here right here find the body ground let's try that I don't think we're getting sparked once though all right let's uh try and start it up I think we're getting smoke okay foreign don't touch that unless you want to get shot [Music] there that's spinning better okay all right foreign there yeah it was in uh four what yeah all right what I want to do is now back it up line it up so then we can pull straight out because we're not going to pull those dollies in The Jerk yeah that's that's his Jeep he picked it all right so all right go a little further that way and back it up slightly yep all right how's that look very dumb right now all right let's uh all of you at the back are the front display [Music] foreign take that off one of you might need to get next to it and like kick the tires as we're turning okay foreign all right help him with the wheels um all right go ahead and unhook it now we got a little charge out of it foreign yeah just just a little bit more that way it'll fit about to fall off that wheel [Music] chair yeah you're good foreign all right this one's a bit crunchy thank you foreign so if you just cut around the rust then we could just weld that right in yeah that one too I mean right there this piece is probably savable we should keep that's a good piece the problem is here if I leave I drive down the road with this I might lose this piece and later I'm gonna need it [Music] we're back um this is just sitting here this is glass I think right there yeah is it hooked into that pocket go to the one in the back the further one back all right just drop it in drop it through the hole and pull it back up um I will but we'll put the binder on it [Music] [Music] foreign so here is the fifth and technically sixth G so we've got this is a 1955 [Music] and it has no engine at the moment transmissions in it and the engine is actually up up at the house but as well there is uh the rest of the cab so there's a full cab for one of these and then right next to it we've got a frame some doors axles rims and tires so for tonight what we're going to do is we're going to grab some of these uh the hood panels we're gonna grab some of the doors and stuff and kind of get it ready to we're gonna use a tractor to get these two out but not today foreign [Music] not a good idea I'm gonna do it anyway I'm on a pile of scaffolding round bars I did not die here like that thank you [Applause] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] okay okay [Music] foreign [Applause] all right Ben come over here and get this uh make sure you didn't get the fender outside thank you you coming keep coming all right all right I got something here [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] all right well we got four of them loaded today I'm gonna get these ones home and then we'll be back for all the rest of the pieces back in the woods and all the extra parts can't wait to show you those so yeah get them chained down we'll get back to the shop [Music] thank you thank you okay I want the bucket here and try and chain it to get around that right up nope that's not that okay find something all right we'll see how this goes foreign thank you help Ryan I can tip it down to help me not jump out of that hard your way while I said it here thank you apparently I've seen [Music] thank you foreign [Applause] foreign [Applause] foreign [Applause] now the task is loading all the parts so see this whole pile all of these are extra Jeep parts and then there's an engine there that you can't quite see and there's an engine in the other room and another engine right there so plus there's this awesome uh basically old Generator that they turned into an engine stand we're going to work on getting the majority of this all loaded and then we'll bring it back to the shop we're gonna have to sort it and go through it and see what we've got but this is all Jeep Willys Parts it's amazing I'm I'm absolutely Blown Away all right well we got the Jeeps back this one is the most complete of them all it runs and drives as you saw we used it to pull the other at least the other three onto a trailer but let me show you all the parts that we got for this thing and the other Jeeps we got so many parts all right we'll just walk here in this Bay this is the engine for the 55. uh it's a CJ5 or cj6 apparently a local high school completely rebuilt it years ago and it just never got put back in the Jeep so that's awesome we have another flat head here and another flat head here and all I've done to them basically plug all the holes vacuum out any Mouse nests around the intakes we bolted this water neck back on and then strapped them to a couple of different carts for that but we've got seats those are all um air intakes basically oil bath air cleaners uh there's a oil filter housing small gas tank that's a canvas top those two pieces there are part of a hard top which is right there there are clutch parts radiators gas tanks all kinds of covers heater cores and heaters additional windshields there is just a mountain of engine parts and just miscellaneous pieces here's two of the additional Transmissions these are the two that were inside there's a whole pile outside of them and then these are additional both soft and hard doors and so there are at least two or three total cabs for these Jeeps we even got the wire doors we got tailgates we've got old school uh Jerry can holders that's a grill cover kind of like that copper one has all kinds of uh lights this compressor he just kind of threw in which I am actually pumped about it's an Ajax motor and these are old school Motors but they work very well it's a two horsepower it can be 110 or 220. and it's got a Quincy model 2100 rb1 air compressor pump on it that is a very very good compressor and I may have a different use for it than what's on here but so I was kind of pumped to have have that I don't know how good the tank is but we'll mess with that later but got another engine block I believe this is for the rj6 rj5 there's a good head somewhere around here these are all like starters there's the head right there there's the head for probably that engine these are starters and generators and then we got all kinds of brake components down there we got intakes and exhaust manifolds axles and uh pickups this is like carburetors um air intake there's a governor horn a bunch of relays bunch of uh solenoids we've got down here on the ground all kinds of distributor parts handles knobs caps those are some camshafts there's a crankshaft down there steering wheels steering wheel lights trim bezels electric buttons all these gauges all these spark plugs a bunch of uh New Old Stock bearings you name it here's another windshield here's two more hoods um Jerry cans additional Jerry can holders yeah there is just you know and then down here let's see what we got these are like transmission shifter plate covers those are all oil pans so so one of the major reasons there's a hitch that's a PTO couple ptos but one of the major reasons that I bought everything was the parts these Jeeps not only are they are they you know between basically we have a 46 49 251s and a 55. and so those five Jeeps all have titles they're not all complete so we'll go outside and I'll show you where the rest of them are and then there's a whole another chassis with kind of a cab so technically there's six um and you know I I don't need this many Jeeps I don't think anybody needs this many Jeeps but they're absolutely amazing they're nostalgic this has been on my bucket list forever and buying them in this condition is exactly how I buy everything you know kind of junk but yet just mountains of parts and so having all of this does not mean I'm not gonna have to buy things but it sure is going to make it easier to to kind of put together these jeeps and see what we've got so let's go outside let's take a look at the Jeeps and the other parts another thing that he gave me was this roll around cart with a radiator on it so this is an old US Army power unit PE 95-8 and the generator itself is missing and all that really is here is this cart the radiator and a gas tank and this is basically an engine stand you'd basically set an engine in here hook up some coolant to those run a fuel line to the tank here and then boom you'd have a a water cooled engine to stand a test um you know I might have to do some fabrication on being able to put certain engines in here or figure out a way to mount them but I thought that was absolutely awesome I don't intend on using it ever for a generator or again but you know just as an ability to start a some of these small engines on a stand with a with water cool would be would be awesome so that came with it as well the other three Jeeps we've moved outside and a friend of mine gave me this uh this canopy tent and I thought what a perfect opportunity to put it up and throw three of the Jeeps in here so we've got the military one we've got one of the other ones I don't know which one that is has no engine or transmission in it and then that one over there has an engine and transmission the only thing that's really wrong with it is uh it's missing some engine parts he basically Rob some parts like the water pump the fuel pump and I think the carburetor and distributor are off of it so this one also has a complete engine and apparently it runs really really well engine and transmission its biggest problem is the rot um completely rotten in the in the middle here I mean I may try and find I mean I know there are companies that have just a drop in bed or a whole whole like bucket that you could just weld in and I think I could probably pretty easily cut out the rot weld in a pan and make this Jeep so much better we'll see but there's also a mountain of tires and rims way over there right over here we have one of the cabs this is an aluminum cap it is extremely light and it is literally about to fall apart the glass at least on the two sides is completely broken destroyed it might be better than starting from scratch it might be able to fabricate it back together but I don't know it was buried in the weeds we had to dig that one out over here we have the number six Jeep essentially so this Frame was sitting in the weeds and this body was sitting in the weeds this body is not attached at all it is literally just sitting there um all of these axles were sitting on the frame and then these two Transmissions were sitting in the weeds so I I know nothing about them I I think that at least the shift knobs are slightly bound up the end of the day possibly even taking this bed out and Welding it in that military Jeep I don't know all right tucked right in here we've got Jeep number five so this is the newest this is the 1955 I believe it's a CJ5 or a cj6 I don't know I haven't done much to it the transmission is still in there the front axle the rear axle pretty much everything is there I just need to drop that engine in and hook up the miscellaneous components to put this thing back together now it's not perfect it's got some rot kind of in there and in there but I think we have a windshield for it I think this red color a bunch of the I think there's a body that goes to this thing it might drop into these holes here and these holes here I don't know it's definitely got that much more modern Jeep look than the older Willies do it's got that classic CJ style in the front with that Grill and the hood but it is still a Willies you can see here on the tailgate Willies so I don't know if we'll end up getting them all completely put back together the plan is gonna be to probably try and make at least two or three complete running usable Jeeps out of all these but for now we saved them and we're working on how to organize and sort the parts and how to store it and I'm doing my best to kind of try and take care of things yet again another set of old amazing machines rescued here at Salvage Workshop I hope you enjoyed the video I hope you've enjoyed the rescue of all these there will be more to come I do want to get at least two or three of these up and going pretty soon and then we'll figure out what we need to do from there this military one is really a shame the body got destroyed and got left out for so long but it is not Beyond saving sure it's gonna need some work I'm sure it's gonna need some patches and TLC but my goal will not be to restore these my goal will be to make them usable again make them safe again make them something that we can enjoy and then we'll go from there I mean I I enjoy the patina on a lot of these old rigs I hope you've enjoyed the process of bringing them all back here to salvage Workshop and we'll go from there so you guys have a great one and I'll talk to you guys on the next one [Music] thank you
