Classic Truck Rescue

Classic Truck Rescue (CTR), launched in October 2020, chronicles Rick and Jamie's journey in creating a classic truck ranch on a 25-acre property along the Molalla River in Northwest Oregon. Their engaging video series follows their progress as they transform the land, clearing trees and bushes and constructing roads using antique equipment, including a vintage dump truck and tractor. The CTR project offers a unique blend of classic car restoration, homesteading, and heavy machinery operation, appealing to viewers interested in any of these subjects. Currently boasting 53 total members, including 27 paid patrons, CTR has generated an estimated $169 in revenue (with a range of $26 to $1300 depending on patronage levels). The channel's success demonstrates a dedicated following who appreciate the authenticity and hands-on approach to this ambitious project, setting it apart from typical automotive restoration or homesteading content by combining these themes in a visually compelling narrative. The community fostered around the CTR project highlights the engagement of viewers who are invested in the long-term development of the ranch and the preservation of classic trucks.
