I have heard about the diesel / trans fluid trick but never tried it. We are supposed to work on the truck tomorrow. I will mix that concoction up and see what it does for us. Thanks for the suggestion!

The way prices are getting at Pate, they might someday!

Haha! Yes. Help me keep them focused on finishing this. Sometimes, their interest wanes, and projects languish. I don't want a bunch of half done builds on our channel, that's for sure!

Thank you! I'm not sure if it will need it yet, but that engine will probably need a teardown. If that's the case we will film it for sure. Yes, sir, they like everything old!!

Have them stay at your house

🤡

Thanks! Fortunately, we only had the one wheel locked up. Normally, when one locks up, they all do. I'm not sure what the gear ratio is, but we will certainly find out. This should be a fun project. However, this project is going to have to share Keegan's attention with a new project that Keegan has acquired! I will have a video up soon showing you what I am talking about.

Thanks!

Hey! Thanks for checking out both videos. What you suggest does make a lot of sense and would have made the suspension rebuild easier. The reason why we didn't do that first is because we were trying to get the body and frame out of the elements as soon as we could. Not only were they slowly rotting because of the weather but we were noticing some vandalism on a few of our vehicles including this suburban body.

@@downsouthjunking8180 Someone vandalizing on your own property? Needa more vigilant doggy lol

Wow. I've heard similar stories. It's a shame.

If only folks knew what some of this stuff would be worth someday!

In a way I kind of knew but but Gene couldn't stand the idea of people poking around our yard taking stuff, but still. I never did a full inventory but for sure there was a 67' Cougar, a huge 67 Galaxie Coupe, and a nice 63' GMC longstepside that after watching some other vids was easily a runner.

Hey! It was great meeting you yesterday as well. Unfortunately we have NOT created a Facebook or Instagram yet even though my wife has told me to do it. I will work on setting those accounts up and do a notification in our community section of the channel. Thank You for taking some time yesterday to talk to us and letting us film your Firebird! Its a real beauty! Good luck selling it so you can put those funds into your truck.

I will go into my TH-cam Studio account and see how they have the commercials set up. No matter what I request, there are always going to be some ads, but there shouldn’t be constant ads. I dont want that either, because it reduces the enjoyment of the content. However, creators are limited on what we can request YT to do when it comes to ads.

The camera does that car, no justice. It was an amazing looking car in person. Thanks! The video didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. A huge storm came, and everyone started leaving early, so the video ended a little more abruptly than I had planned. Plus, Goodguys had music blasting everywhere, so some cars we couldn't show because the music drowned us out, and others, the music was causing copyright issues with youtube. That's also why the video might not appear to flow well at times. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Unfortunately, I don't know. We only talked to him for a few minutes. It was definitely one of the best deals out there.

Yeah I missed that one then saw it on your video and I was like man

Did you hear it run?

No, we didn't, unfortunately. He said it ran, but I don't think it was fully turn key. I think it ran but in a hot wire it and pour gas down the carb kind of way. I could be wrong though.

I won't say if these cars were overpriced or not, but I will say this. There were very few cars with "Sold" on them at the end of the swap meet. A few years ago, it was the opposite. You would hardly see cars that didn't have sold written on them.

@@downsouthjunking8180 man its these in sane prces that keep my channel from delving into the world automotive on youtube

I hear you. I remember when you could always get cars at swap meets for under a grand. They might have been total rebuilds, but still. The only way I'm able to work on stuff is because we bought so many back in the day we have a lifetime supply of project cars.

From my understanding, they were selling it for charity to the highest offer they receive.

Thanks! BTW my son really got a kick out of your post!

Thanks man! It means a lot to me to hear that. Greetings from Texas!

Thanks! Sure thing. I will make a video soon on my Blazer. I might go ahead and make a video of all our vehicles on both projects and fixed up. Keegan just got a Blazer so we will post a video of that soon too.

Thanks! Yes sir the GMC flatbed was originally a camper from what the owner claimed. Like you I would have expected it to have the rear part of the cab cut out. I wonder how the camper would have been configured without the cutout? There were quite a few straight old trucks at this year's meet. I'm just sad that everything is now creeping way beyond my budget. Fortunately we have dozens of trucks at home bought back when you could get them for a few hundred bucks.

@@downsouthjunking8180 yeah that's the only way I'd be able to afford some of what I have. Because I bought them sometime back when they cheaper. The other thing about the reporter camper conversion to flatbed, is that it set up high on back. And you think that you want on the sexual so you wouldn't have so many steps. Of course trucks get changed around just like cars.

Thank you for your kind regards! It's great bonding with my boys over something that all three of us love. Wow! It's so cool to know that someone all the way down in New Zealand is watching our videos!!

It should say in the video, but I want to say around $20k. If I didn't get the price, I apologize. I always try to get as much info as I can but sometimes I get distracted and miss it.

Haha! Yeah, that always seems to be the case.

Huh! Learn something new every day!!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Sounds like you have a heck of car collection!

It's basically a flea market for old cars and car parts. Pate is one of the biggest in the US.

Hey, were good! We had a busy few months so no videos. We're about to get back to posting videos regularly again.
