1979 Chevy C10 Big Block 454 Part 1 - After Sitting for 5 Years Will it Start?

This is the first video in my 1979 Chevy C10 Big Block 454 Series! (Link to part 2: • 1979 Chevy C10 Big Blo... )
I actually owned this truck previously and just re-purchased it after it’s sat in the same spot for 5 years! Some chewed wiring and a leaky AC compressor were to be expected, but we’re off to a good start. It’s going to need some work, but what fun would it be without a little redneck ingenuity?!
Check out this video to see if we were able to get it to start!

Love the mark IV big blocks! The only drawback . Is it loves gasoline.

This 79 C10 is a project right here. Man I want one so bad including an old Suburban Wagon

[@rustyranchtexas2133]

They are out there, just have to continue to look and be patient to find the right one for the right price!

My 78-79 suburban sounds the same I love the 454 but I can’t get it to just stay running I did a tune up and it still won’t keep that spark and it just makes me sad bc it’s just sitting in my yard

Would love to be able find a project like this a ship to the U.K. if I could find one what would be a fair price range these days do you reckon? Hope you held on to it! 👍

[@rustyranchtexas2133]

Thank you for watching! I still have it, yes sir. As far as price goes it's really hard to tell these days. I always say it's worth whatever someone will take. Never know until you try.

How far are you from waskom I have a 1977 bonanza 454 been sitting 10 plus years

Automatics leak after sitting a long time because..there is about a gallon of fluid in the converter, after sitting it drains back into the pan and overfills the tranny and leaks out of old seals and gaskets.
