You need to sell it to someone who'll appreciate it and has the skills to fix it well.
Exactly, someone who has the skills to attack the bodywork properly. Anyone knows someone? Preferably someone with extraordinary bondo skills
He easily has the skills....maybe you haven't been watching his vids? He's much better at metal working/repairing then most other channels on YT. He's not a puppet and doesn't act or wear the clothes to "fit-in" with the crowd...another reason I like him. Too many social puppets out there these days...they don't know how to think for themselves plus they are afraid of what others will say....sad.
@@coherantbliss3483 Clickbait title gets dicey responses. The truck isn't in particularly bad shape. Around here they are rotted away. I'd do questionable things to find one that solid for a decent price. "Scrap metal"? Not in any rational mind, so let him sell it to someone who'll appreciate it.
@scottysgarage4393 It was for sale for the last 5 months with no takers. You and everyone else had the same chance to buy it that I did. If you appreciate these trucks that much then get off your keyboard and go out and buy one. They aren't getting any easier to find and they aren't getting cheaper.
@@CarterAutoRestyling I'm a thousand miles from you, had it been near me I'd have had it in a heartbeat
I came here for the sweet bird songs that make me feel so *_CALM_* and *_PEACEFUL._*
Now get to work on that POS !
I come for the craftsman ship. Too many other channels just cut out the stuff and replace it when it is salvagable or don't even try. Watching you take something most would toss and make it look new again is pretty satisfying
I would very much like to see a series of videos bringing this body back into highly respectable condition with the intention of extremely little use of Bondo.
Glad to hear that! I am planning a repair series on this one!
I enjoy watching you apply your skills whatever you are working on, but favor saving the older vehicles
I would love to see you do that truck, watching you turn fresh air back into a functioning vehicle is inspiring quite frankly. Your metal working skills have me riveted to each episode.
Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the rebuild!
Intro..... Epic!!! You always crack me up. Just remember when you make it big, stay humble and keep being yourself. Lotsa people who made forgot.
Hell yes, get welding 😄 can’t wait to watch the journey 👍🏻
You know you can fix it. And you should. Even if you don't, I will still watch.
Loved the 60’s style. Would love to see you make it look great again
Kyle , you are so talented, we would like to see you "bring back" an old vintage car body that most people would have crushed long ago. However you can take on what ever motivates your craft because you are very capable !
This is exactly the projects I would like to see you work on. Fresh from the field, or grandpa's back yard, how most Prairie Provice Projects start out. Let's face it, here in Canada, this is the best we can find. I hated seeing in the magazines where they would find some Arizona prime metal with a pin hole and say 'this fender is shot' and replace it with a whole new chineseium fender. Love your channel keep up the fantastic work!
Interesting GM limited production early Astro Ventilation test bed. True collection item. Definitely worth a few taps and welds.
Kyle, I speak for most viewers and look forward to watching you rework the metal making it fully functional again.
Thanks John! I hope you enjoy the series!
You found yourself a good project. I'm sure you work your magic on those panels.
Kyle.. My wife also rolled of the assembly line in 1966 and from what I can C she is a 10! Your C10 with you on board just won the truck lottery!👩🏭Thanks for the ride.
Wow what a coincidence eh? Thanks Kelly
This is why I keep coming back.
Haha thanks for continuing to watch me suffer through these rusty junkers!
That's one important thing missing from these new vehicles, is you can't smell the road
I am looking forward to watching you work your magic.
Cool ride! BUT- She’s definitely on the crusty side, which makes it a great platform for you to show your skills! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with her!
Wow, I tried to type and no words came out.
Can't wait to see you repair it.
Love your opening! Generally when I see videos starting like this one, I click out of it immediately. I'm with ya!
Yes. Complain and work away. Love your style. Continue saving the unsaveable.
I'd definitely like to see the resto of this!
Look forward to seeing you fix this truck. I especially like this vintage. Reminds me of my wasted youth.
Its like with every car someone will own, if you like it it is easy to spend hours on this rig. If not its kind of useless. But i have the feeling that just repairing this unrepairable stuff is your thing regardless if you are driving it afterwards. So go for it!
My dad had a ‘66 Chevy Pickup that looked similar to this one. About the same color, blue/green with red primer. He bought it used in ‘68. It had a six cylinder with a three on the tree. The bed side rotted out, looked like someone shot it with buckshot, and the wooden floor of the bed rotted out too. He passed it on to my brother, who then passed it on to our brother in law.
Now you're talking my language, your 66 and my 62 would get along just fine. I'm past the roof and into the rockers finally.
She looks a teeny tiny bit worse than mine though. It will be fun to watch, Good luck!
Looking forward to seeing it being worked on. You have a great talent I enjoying watching you repair the metal that most would send to the junk yard.
It's got power steering... how could you NOT take it on as a project?! As you know, a great body style and sure did come with some extra goodies to help visualize a completed truck. You do what you're good at on it and take it as fa as you'd like on the channel and we'll all be happy.
Yeah we'll definitely be fixing this one up a bit! I hope you'll enjoy following along!
It takes a uniquely practised eye to be able to pick out such a fine example of a classic truck. Congratulations on your good fortune!
Haha thanks!
Here in Ontario, that would be a $15,000 barn find, RARE Mint truck!! Runs and drives!! Lots of content in that C10!
I think that truck is a perfect addition to your channel!
It doesn't matter what you are working on, it's going to be great to watch!!
I enjoyed hearing the meadow larks when you did your walk around the truck in the country. But then I was disappointed when you opened the hood because after seeing the radio delete plate and the floor shifter I thought you had a factory high performance truck. Never the less I can already see this truck with all of the rust and dents completely repaired, painted and looking like new. Let's get started!
Haha yeah I don't think there's too many factory high performance trucks out here in Saskatchewan, but I do plan to fix this one up a bit!
Love watching your work Kyle 🙂 I’d like to see you bring it back to life 21:40
Holy doodle thats going to be a challenge!
Yes I would like to see you tackle the job. We haven't seen you do a model like that in detail so there will be plenty for you to explain and teach to us.
I would enjoy watching this truck get cleaned up.
If not you, than who? I just don't see a 66 C10 as an endangered species and even if it was I think you will do as good a job as anybody. All the while providing hours and hours of entertainment . My only disappointment is that it does not have more rust and rot because I enjoy watching your work so much. Having consulted several antique star charts I noticed that Saskatchewan is a very easy drive from the geographic middle of no where . You are to be commended for doing such a high quality of work under such primitive and isolated conditions. Being a faithful follower of the pro shaper channel I would recommend it to Scotty;s garage. especially if he enjoys working with Aluminum. Please carry on Mr. Carter
Definitely fix. Very cool truck.
On a positive note , the washboard road knocked off a lot of the rust 😂😂, ,
Haha very true!
Hey, it runs dries and stops! A few patch panels and it’ll be a sweet ride🎉 looking forward to future Contant
Great winterbeater, no metal to rust away from the salt
Would love to see you conduct your wizardry on 66. You are very through and patient and are a joy to watch. Love the spirited cats.
buddy, all your subs are car people. We all want to fix them all. Don't worry about what your working on because your saving one we can't, and because you do it so well!
💯
Thank you!
If you're up for tackling that poor old rusty thing, I'm down to watch! I've got a soft spot for mid 60s Chev trucks, a family friend who was like a second dad to me drove one until it couldn't go another mile. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
We all want you to suffer through that one too. We’ll just enjoy from the couch🤠
Joking aside. Looks like you have some good parts to get you started. Looking forward to this one.
Build it! Build it!
I just bought one similar to yours today . Looking forward to seeing your videos on restoring your truck .
Right on, congratulations! These are great trucks
That 66 restored will outlive any expensive pile of plastic that most people are buying nowadays.
Regardless of what make or model.
Keep up the excellent work 👏
Very true! These were great trucks other than being prone to rust!
We all know you will fix it, with some complaining along the way no doubt. Now get to work
Yes, lots of complaining haha!
That truck looks pretty normal for that era of truck. Working on a 1962 c10 just as bad as that one and it was also from Saskatchewan. Have fun😊😊😊
I about choked on my Hamburger Helper when you came in with the algorithm-induced big TH-cam energy. You're a handsome lad, but thanks for aiming the camera at your newest rusty pile. Looking forward to seeing it go together. Cheers, from New Hampshire.
Haha sorry about that! It won't happen again!
66 or 48, I’m looking forward to seeing it better. The cab is toast but not n e you’re done with that it’s “rust free” parts on and drive away
it's a gorgeous truck, Kyle. Simply magnificent. And the fuel gauge works too....I can see why you had to have it. Enjoy fixing it up
Yeah the fuel guage is a huge bonus!
Fix that thing!! You are the man
Brings back 80's memory of driving an older retired friend around in his 66 C10 327 3spd, he had a stroke and couldn't clutch it but loved riding around in it. Looking forward to seeing what ya do with it!
Right on! These are fun trucks!
My vote is for doing it much the same as the 48 gmc. Regardless what you decide to do I’m looking forward to it and I will definitely watch.
Man that thing would certainly be an ambitious project but with your talent it could absolutely be done.
Yeah it needs some tlc for sure haha
seeing the holes in the floor brought back fond memories of getting mud splashed in my face driving an identical truck many years ago can't wait to see how it turns out
Mine was a 63,similar floor ventilation. I screwed 3 layers of carpet over the passenger side, and one on my side, which created the illusion of having flooring and actually kept it toasty warm in the Michigan winter.
I will be looking forward to seeing what you can do with that truck. I grew up on Vancouver Island, and as a kid in the 1970's was very much interested in cars and trucks. That era of GM trucks were only around ten years old at the time, and EVERY one of them sported rotted out front fenders and rockers. The rust bug found them exceptionally tasty, and the next generation of trucks were much better at lasting longer. My '69 CST/10 has been in regular use for the last 54 years. Then the square bodies arrived in '73 and those suckers rotted into oblivion in a very short time! The later ones were much better... Love the channel...
Thanks! Yeah it's tough to find a buildable truck of this era! This one is definitely savable!
LOOK at that PERFECT WINDSHIELD.
That is a fine specimen of a pickup!
KYLE, DEFINITELY a KEEPER!!!
Haha yeah the windshield was a huge bonus
NICE!!!
I would most certainly enjoy seeing the '66 C10 work.
Good things about a project like that.... the mechanical is pretty much done. Lifter tick is easy enough to adjust.
Also, the truck appears to have (what I refer to) 'Honest Rust'..... not heaving body filler, pop riveted floors, chicken wire with roofing tar.... just plain simple rust. I MUCH prefer something like that vs. digging out someone else's attempts to 'fix it up'.
I agree Russ! There's not much more frustrating than digging into someone elses repair attempts!
Hi Kyle, of course we all would like see it fixed. It must be practically rust free now after gravel blasting it on the way home. There are a couple rough spots and there's a lot under your old nemmaness bondo, but I am sure you can make short of that. It ain't nothing you can't fix.😊
Wow, Kyle this takes me back. My dad had one of these and I couldn't remember what it was for the life of me. Learned to drive in this truck (well not THIS truck), thank you for the video! Looking forward to more bro.
Kyle, buddy, can't wait to see you get started!!!!And as a Cat Dad myself, love the Cat segments in the show!!
Drive test is the type of country road I learned to drive a stick shift on. Like to see the 66 stick around.
I Love It! As soon as I saw the straight six, I was hooked.
Yes, please fix the 66 C10 with the lots of rust! There are lotsa people waiting to see the content. Thank you lots!
Cool! I think I will try to fix it!
Hello, Kyle, from England. Go for it !!!!!!! I will love to see you restore the '66. Cheers, love to watch you work, Richard.
Thanks for tuning in Richard! I hope you'll enjoy the rebuild!
Absolutely want to see you fix the 66 and preform your magic on it.
I would personally run from that one but I know you can bring it back. Have fun😊
Kyle, you have great metalworking skills and the videos are very educational and informative. And yes it's about the cars. But it is also very much about you, you, you, you! I watch every day for any new video!
agreed.
Thanks I appreciate you watching!
Greetings Kyle my friend! I am writing to congratulate you on your purchase of a very nice seat. Having said that, I'm in this one for the long haul, can't wait to see you work your quite literal magic on it.
Haha thanks for following along!
A project that looks to be right up your alley! All that rust is likely to keep you busy with content for the next 4 seasons!
Saint Kyle for the win! 😉
Haha yeah we will be cranking out lots of content on this one! I hope you'll enjoy!
Tons of compound angles to show how to replace on that one. Look forward to it,
Yeah what a challenge yeah of course we want to see it done. That shrinking disc will get a real workout on those flat panels. Nice to see real time panel manufacturing too.
Having owned one that was similar to your '66 which I really liked, it would be fun to watch you work your magic on a truck most folks would probably say was beyond saving. Mine was a 283 V8 with "3 on the tree", but, like the 6 cylinder version, it was no hot rod. Still, it served me well in New Mexico, Southern California, suburban Chicago and back in So Cal when, in 1985, I traded it in for an El Camino.
Looks like a pretty big project Kyle. It'll be interesting to watch you do your magic on it. The bed should look pretty nice, clean up the metal strips and you'll be good to go! I say go for it!!!
Yeah Ken! It looks like I'm going to be going all in on this one!
Outstanding intro! 😃 👍🏻
If you feel like fixing the '66, we would love to watch it.
I already watch for you you you. Yes the video is about the work mainly but it's your personality and talent that keep me watching.
Lots of panels to make and weldup . Lots of content , and that's what we are here for !😅
Haha definitely no shortage of content on this one!
The truck runs beautifully. 1/2 the work is done plus all the parts. You can do it.
I'll try!
She’s a daily driver already-nice! The bumpy ride was a genius weight reduction plan! I’m guessing it will probably never be faster than right now because adding 100 pounds of metal will not be helpful. 🤣😂🤣 This should be a fun project to watch, so what is the plan for the month of June? Bahahaha-I love laughter which is one reason I like this channel. ❤️🔧✌🏻
Glad you enjoy the show. It's going to be the summer of rust here!
It’s awesome.
Frame looks solid.
Restore it.
I have a 62 and 63 GMC pickup out back that I have been staring at for way too long. I will be interested in watching your repairs on the 66, it might even get me off my dead ass and start working on those projects. Thanks I for your videos and your wit. It isn’t politically correct but most technicians that I know are not very PC.. 👍
Haha PC and working on vehicles don't go together well! Hope you can get motivated to work on your projects!
Be interesting as well as fun to watch, as you repair this classic to your standards. Keep up the great vidoes...
I would love to see you work on this truck. The first vehicle I drove was a 1964 C-10 6 cylinder 3 speed on the column when I was 15
I'm really looking forward to this one. That's my favorite Chevy truck body style
I've owned about a dozen of them over the years. All of them were in that condition when I bought them. I'd drive them until something big gave out or some nut came along and offered me way to much money to refuse. My son sold our last one last summer 😢
Who knows, maybe another one will pop up that's not ridiculously overpriced. One can always dream 😂
They are great drivers! Hope you're able to find another!
Fix it looks like a good project.
I don't know where you find these gems in the rough, but thank God you are. That truck needs saving. Looking forward to watching videos of this truck getting repaired. It sounds like this truck is ok mechanically. It just needs some cosmetic work. Love to have one of these old trucks, even if it needed some love.
Yeah they are neat trucks! I think I'll try to fix it!
Fix it up man , you know you want to , so do I 🏴👍👍
looking forward to this one
Fix it !! Desired body style ,when your done it's gonna be a decent start for some one else if you sell it
It don't smoke. It goes and stops. An old friend said if it runs and stops, it can be saved. If anyone can do it, you can.
Bring on the 66. Look forward to your sarcasm. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you.
The truck has achieved a natural camouflage. With all the rust and missing paint it actually blends quite well with the background. If nothing else, it can be an endless source of metal repair and fabrication videos. I vote for fixing it, though I think it would be easier to just find a replacement cab. The old Chevy wants to live, it just needs a bit of help. That straight 6 runs nice!
Yeah we'll get it patched up! Tough to find a cab around here with a solid roof and even the solid looking ones usually end up needing the whole bottom of the cab replaced...just less metal to cut out on this truck haha
I’d like to see you fix it up. Thanks for the enjoyment you have already given me.
Kyle, you have to ask yourself, would you get more satisfaction fixing it or not fixing it. Only one answer to this question, so looking forward to the next 1000 episodes on this truck. UK Philip.
Haha thanks for watching, Philip!
Absolutely, should awesome!
