A Blown Ramp Truck Road Trip to Get a 350 SBC-Swapped Mini Truck! Finnegan's Garage Ep.115
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2020
- This marks the final installment of our 1969 Chevy C50 ramp truck project. If you recall, this is the truck that we traded Big Red and a wad of cash for. We've put a lot of work into this ride including a complete wiring job, new front suspension, new brakes, a restored engine compartment and most importantly, a new Weiand 6-71 supercharger and dual Holley Double Pumper carbs. Now, we make her even more street friendly with the addition of a fresh 14-bolt rear axle from the dudes at Quick Performance. This axle has all he goodies for freeway flying and maximum wheelspeed burnouts; it's stuffed with a Yukon Grizzly locker, 35 spline axles, new seals and bearings throughout, and a 3.55:1 ring and pinion gearset.
We swapped axles right before making an 800 mile trip to Florida to pick up a pile of parts and a Toyota Mini-Truck from our friend Steve Shaw. This truck will become Newbern's next project, which I'm sure you'll see on this channel at some point. Thanks for watching. If you'd like some Finnegan Speed AND MARINE MERCH, go here:

Anyone else appreciate fin not putting his content behind a pay wall?
Well most people don't but yea, I appreciate it.
G.Blaney Yes I do.
If you're referring to motor trend it's literally 15 cents a day and there's every imaginable car show on there. Not to mention, you don't even have to buy it if you have Amazon prime because all the shows are on there the same day as the MT app. Totally worth it.
@@rhull3939 The only problem now is they're trying really hard to get content. Seriously lacking right now due to Covid, I'm sure.
Well, I did just pay for it with watching ads..... the content on MTOD is ad free and was $20 or $30 bucks for the year during the main covid shutdown. I used to spend about $12 to $20 per year per magazine subscription. I watch MTOD on my TV and tablet; both work as well as any other streaming service ive used.
That hood wobblin around would drive me crazy!
I saw some wobble in my hood so I pulled off and it was partially latched.
I dont think it bugs him Blasphemi hood is worse than this
When you cut a hole in the middle of it you cut the stiffers
they should use some angle steel to make a brace around the back of the scoop and down to the hood to brace it up before they get fatigue cracks and have to buy a new hood or repair it.
Yep😄
'Actually at this point it's our only running vehicle so it's the perfect vehicle'.... story of my life
I had 1 running vehicle and 3 non running vehicles. But now my running vehicle is having problems so now I have 0 usable vehicles. Being addicted to shitboxes is problematic 🤣
I just want you all to know that Jesus loves you and is returning soon. Go to him in prayer and ask for forgiveness of sins and accept him as your lord and savior. God bless.

My pickup will probably take a crap right before winter and I'll be on my motorcycle. No way am I driving my freshly painted Fox-body.
This man has all the toys... Even toys to tow the toys...
Ya gotta work for it!
With a truck like that, you don't even think about the MPG's. :D
This thing gets 1000 yards per gallon you cant even use miles
its actually gallons per mile
How much gas does it use? All of it. Lol
My uncle's supercharged 350 got 8mpg on the highway. At the time (1990) that was about equal to my Cadillac V8, which wasn't supercharged and only getting 12mpg. Not even a fraction of the horsepower but just as bad fuel mileage.
Love the c50 but that floppy hood was getting to my ocd 🤣🤣 new project looks like a bucket load of fun
im going to bet you don't have OCD because that's not how that works.
@@sak01 🤣🤣 no I don't, just a turn of phrase
It would be cool to superglue some bobbleheads and hula dancers to that wobbly hood. Give it some purpose in life.
that 4x4 block idea, changed my lifes path like theres no tomorro. in 08' i helped out this solid dude at the warehouse i was working and his half tonne couldnt handle the 1.5 tonnes of shingles, 3 mins later hes on the road. month later his best friend offered me a job of a life time learing HVAC,12 years later im the single fabricator and installer fera commercial roofing company specializing in anything non roofingrelated(all the truckin problems) stay safe and take care.
I have to admit was not a big fan of your show,but you guys crack me up and now I'm hooked.
Thanks for watching!
15 second ramp truck. Lol. I was happy when my 96 Stang went 14s.
Yeah no joke!
Ahh the 4.6 2v super reliable with no performance potential. Prob a sweet used buy nowadays for some cheap fun
I recently talked to the guys friend who owns Mike's old "Burnt Taco". It's in good hands and has been rebuilt. 👍✌️
That tinfoil over the the breather flopping in the wind would honestly drive me NUTZ!
The ramp truck is probably my favorite project/feature truck on youtube, what a beautiful monster.
7:15 Put a ball valve on the heater supply hose, this way hot air isn't leaking into the cab. It makes way more of a difference that you can imagine.
Finnegans and his crew are awesome.. ive been fan of this dude since I was reading mini truckin mags in school. Couldn't wait for shop class. We did so many mini truckin things in that class. My friends and I was only ones on bags and bumping setting off car alarms. Finnegan thank you for everything you and your crew does. Hope to meet you one day.
He is in my prayers now to....Thanks guy's...!
1:05 - I laughed so hard here. Most people install a higher ratio's solely for fuel economy...Finnegan's first reason; Greater wheel speed=greater burnouts
Aren't higher ratios worse for fuel economy, and better for acceleration (but not top speed)?
@@trashbandit2449 Ratios are backwards usually. Larger number is a lower ratio, smaller number is a higher ratio. For instance a 4.10 is a lower gear than a 3.73.
@@trashbandit2449 Yep, I said it backwords
The numbers you people are referring to are the number of rotations of the pinion gear.
Hence 4.11 gives you four point one one rotations of the gear per 1 rotation of the rear wheels.
Higher number is more rotations but limits top speed.
Also keeps engine rpm higher causing the engine to work harder.
Lower ratios 3.55, 3.33 give a lower rotation speed under acceleration but greatly improve top speed and fuel milage.
Less rpm at the same mile per hour obviously will result in better fuel milage.
Like my buddy's Trans Am we swapped the 3.73s for 4.11s.
Gave it way more acceleration and low end torque but it was screaming topped out 115, it had nothing more.
So we swapped to 3.55s.
Ration was to low no low end torque just a turd.
So we tried 3.90s and that was the magic number, 60s in less than 6 seconds and gets up to about 140ish.
Like the difference between a big tire car and a small tire car.
Higher number i.e. big tires =more acceleration
Lower number i.e. small tires = top speed.
You're welcome. 😒
@@sheldonking4022 oh, yep that makes sense. Not sure why my brain wasn't working that second, I knew that the higher the number, the lower of a ratio it was. Oops
You guys need to get some parts off a 3-ton farm truck:
- an Eaton 2-speed differential. One ratio for fun & one ratio for the highway) 😆
- a locking throttle knob (aka cruise control)
ahh just a 2x4 to hold gas pedal would be sufficient
genius idea!!
Momma talking to her son 9:40 for acting like that while on camera 😂. Priceless
Man, found a clean truck just like this with a dump bed for 1500 bucks. Makes me wanna get it
😂”...the Jeepers Creepers truck...” 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thanks Mike and Dave for all you do! 👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Steve is a great guy! We had a shop next to him a couple of years ago. We had heard this was coming, looking forward to the content.
Perfect content at the perfect time!
Best of luck with everything, fan👍!
I am a avid truck nut I had a 1959 Peterbilt I love your truck the craftsmanship you put into it is incredible!
When i first read the title... I was like..... another ramp truck adventure with a blown up engine???
Then half way though I realized they were referring to the blower ON the engine lol
Prayers for the guy and hus family that sold the truck. What ever he is going thru will pass. God bkess and be safe guys
We're wi ya bud,,the ramp truck is MONEY!
I don't care that truck is bad on gas it look and sounds amazing. The front end is perfect. The body panels, color and design is just bad ass. I always love watching everyone of your projects. The jet boat looks addictive.
Nobody:
Me and other west coast dudes: minitrucks 4 life!!! Lol
First car I bought was a '75 Datsun 1800 pick-up.
Never seen a Datsun truck, but it looks an awful lot like my first truck, the Mazda B2000. It was a real piece, and not in the good way lol
@@juansolo1617 what?? That's not unusual I guess nowadays. The old bullet door Datsun's are great. Kingpin front end kind of sucks for suspension parts. At least in the 90's it was non existent.
Love the screen name lol
@@stunna1050 It must be nice on the west coast (for car culture). I'm from West Virginia originally. If you're not driving a gigantic diesel truck in WV, everyone talks crap. They really hate my current truck, too, which is the Honda Ridgeline. The Honda is basically a luxury truck... not made for anything but pavement driving.
Luv a roots supercharged engine, guess the blower forces the mixture in the cylinders during cranking for almost instant start up...really great.
I was thinking "Except for the Jeepers Creepers truck" right before you said it.
My OCD wants to request that you put more support in the hood of the ramp truck so it don't flop in the wind lol. But seriously love you guys and all your Content. One of my things on my bucket list is to meet you guys and the roadkill crew one day
Ah, the least efficient vehicle is usually the most fun though! I'm redoing my '75 Ford F250 Highboy and am sure there will be some shenanigans going on with it. There's nothing like a big ol' parts truck to shoot off on adventures with. Keep at it my good man.
Sometimes you measure in Smiles Per Gallon.....
Oh man, MCM yesterday, Skid Factory, Benny's Custom Works, and Finnegan's Garage today? Freakin' hells yes!
The best of Automotive TH-cam(Add Rob Dahm and Speed Academy in there too)
Will never get anything better than your original intro. The music on the new videos n intro are great, but my personal favorite is your original. Even more than anyone else. You are the best, intro n content. Keep it going Mike.
Newbern was a great move to add as a regular. Seems like a really good guy. Thanks for sharing your lives...
newbern's voice sounds exactly like the principal from King of the hill
Ha😂I knew it he sounded familiar😆
Bahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣
The same guy was on My Name is Earl as the tow yard owner.
The secret is out!
He really does, that funny as hell
Should contact Titan tanks about getting larger fuel capacity.
Thanks for taking me along on the ride. I really enjoyed it.
Can we all agree Mike is just dope af? Smooth and cool.
On Waze: Settings>Navigation>Dirt Roads>Don’t Allow. I learned the hard way.
i once got yelled at for opening a wing window. "it's an 80 fuckin 4! They've never been opened before" 🤣Apparently they wistle like a mofo after you open them.
LOL You're speaking my language. "80 fucken 4!"
Sounds like me, "dont touch that, its an antique, i cant just buy another from the junkyard" haha
I had one fall out in my hand in my Dad's '79 Malibu. Sucks when its the ONLY window in the rear that opens and now he duct tapped it closed.
What weirdo doesn't open the wing windows?
I enjoyed watching you guys this weekend with my son who bought this truck.
Phil speaks highly of you guys.
I have truck like that. Really wish could fix up. Really like that one. But just fixed up would be crazy. Dam it's bad ass!!!! Right on! Love to see.
"Ever eat at the Varsity ".. "Awesome!". Lol classic
I feel like a gearvenders unit on there would go a long way too
I thought that’s what they were putting in the truck until I saw the new rear axle sitting there.
Even still a Gearvenders is great.
Thanks for showing.
Damn that Spring in the Wing Window brings back memories! Thanks!
TH-cam is getting Real comfortable with these double 15 second no skip ads .
I know you've seen this before but its the truth !!!!
You can still skip. The little exclamation point by the thumbs up or down ;)
Try premium, it's nice, and also helps the creators!
@@lilypower I don't want to help the creators. Maybe SOME, but most of what I click on is either clickbait or filler (content made just to pad their channel). I give money directly to those who are helpful to me, or otherwise I think they deserve it.
Opera browser had the best ad blocker up until about a month ago... now the ads are back, sortof... they're just blank ads now and you can skip them immediately.
billions of political ad dollars spent
gotta squeeze them in somewhere
Here's a conversation of that fuel consumption for us Metric guys: Unloaded, 27.7L/100km (3.6km/L) Crickey!
Your math is wrong. It’s 3.7 Km/L. 27L per 100 Km.
Thanks, I'll adjust it.
That's good compared to what I was getting in my truck the other day... averaged 850m/Litre over a 1680km round trip...
@@Ward1706 I'm afraid the units are flipped, at present. You've got L/km twice, which obviously doesn't make sense.
Micah Tischler Fixed now.
Y'all live in Georgia and you didn't think to install a/c in the truck? Oh well 70by2 wirks well enough!
70 m.p h. And 2 windows rolled down plus the side vents held open by a spare drum brake or carburetor spring. That is a cool truck!
I love it!!!!!
I like the dancing hood scoop.
Putting Roadkill behind a paywall was Finnegan's Garage' smartest move.
Start with break time that's my type of crew
I saw it with my own eyes,but can't believe it happened.You 2 made a trip,and nothing broke.WoW! Make this into a Golden Disc for posterity.
I love seeing you pass through Atlanta in the time-lapses because I always see my exit and my daily routine. Thinking wow I totally have been driving in the same lanes maybe I'll get lucky and see you pass by one of these days.
Sorry to hear about blasphimy Mike
@jacktheripped money shift on day one or maybe 2 of rmrw 2.0 is the rumor
I believe it was on day 1 of RMRW. He was running next to Cleetus in Leroy and money shifted zinging the engine to like 10K. Rumor is he threw a rod(s). Bummer.
@@danmyers9372 shifter was put together backwards, launched in 2nd, money shifted to first, pinned the tach and threw a rod.
I believe he mixed up 1&2 in the trans on the last rebuild. so 1 is down. up shift up in 2 and money shifted back in first. first day of rocky mountain. got a rod ( well big dent on the oil pan.
it lasted pretty good considering last rebuild was after the John chase tri5 drag
Hi
When you realize that the intro selfie and the channel logo are the same 😂
Great video !!!! Great tow truck and great mini truck!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Time for some Vintage Air in the ramp truck Finn, along with the rest of your never ending list of projects.
My wife asked me to sell one of my cars! Haha haha. She is so funny.
Easy choice time for her car to go. Your married so technically it's your car also 😂
Nick Moore: Great point! Then, I could buy 2 project cars!
@@modificationnation73 win win for everyone then all you have to do is say You're building one of them for her and she'd be on board with the parts purchases

What happened to your Dad’s station out by the lake? Was out there last weekend and noticed it wasn’t Finnegan’s any longer.
Another v8 mini truck... I dig it!!! We must be cut from the same cloth Fin, I daily drive an ls swapped Nissan hardbody with an Ar5 trans and an 8.8 rear diff with LSD. It's lowered on blocks and the torsions turned down, Rollin on 17s, its hands down the funnest vehicle I've ever driven.
Love that truck! My favorite ramp truck aside from the roadkill ramp truck
95f is barely hot for Australia.
Or Texas!
Me: waking up because i have psat
Finnigan: heres some content for you
Such honest and original content , keep it coming
Run what you brung,hell yeah!
Finnegan what happened to Blasphemy man? Heard it threw a rod at raceweek 2.0. Need the video on that man!
something tells me he ain't gonna talk about it for a good minute lol.
your will power driving past the Varsity and not getting two chili dawgs, two slaw dawgs, onion rings, and a frosted orange is beyond me
Love this spring's holding the mirror open !! You need a set on the hood, so it ain't flapping in the wind
Wow just badass dude . I would love this truck.
Hey Finn, why isn’t this called Newbern’s garage? Dave does all the work while you text on your phone!
Because he's the boss and owner... They don't name shops after laborer's...
Lol it’s Finns garage and newbern does the work duh, or else it would be called newberns work in Finns garage
So we wont get any info on what happened on race week 2.0? Nothing? (Didn't watch the video yet, just judging by it not being the main topic/thumbnail)
Nope he hasn't posted a dam thing about it yet he followed them around in square force hawking merch and showing the car blown up to get cash from people at each track
@@stevenplaskett7728 lmao jeez chill on the entitlement... he can do whatever he wants? Specially if people want to see it. I mean look at you being a bitch on the internet, atleast the people at the track could see it blown up or not.. Plus this channels vids are posted way after it was filmed
Im sure that will come in a future video. This one was more likely filmed a while ago because iirc, he just sold this truck.
@@stevenplaskett7728 pound sand
this is why we love Finnegan so much. There's only a very small select few people on this entire planet who would replace the rear end in a ramp truck to do better burnouts. hahaha. Awesome.
I had a 71c 10 that I rebuild but it was almost identical to the same green as your c50 love the classic Chevy's. Keep up the amazing work!
I'm confused on that axle. It's got 30 spline axles? So weaker than stock? You can find 14b's with 3.55's, 1.5" 35 spline full floating axles that are factory locked in the junkyard anywhere. Hmmm... the axle you took out was a newer and stronger casting too.
You guys always have cool adventures I'm a little jealous 👍👍👍🇦🇺
881 comments and, I did not go through all of them to find out if I am the first to mention that; You have a pack of overload spring leafs BUT, no stops for them. Just the funky U-bolts down to the main pack. Next to useless.
The easiest way to change a rear axle is; jack the chassis way up and, roll it out on the wheels. Roll the new one in the same. It saves trying to muscle it up on the floor jack. The P-30 had notoriously bad ball joints. It was a "1 ton" chassis that was eventually rated up to 14,500 GVW.
Congrats on hitting the trending tab on TH-cam!
I know, right! thanks you guys!
How nice having a/c in the shop. Now that is styling!!!!!
So cool seeing y’all in my hometown. Under that red bridge, there’s a tiny island you can see called exchange island. It was a resort in the 80’s now reclaimed by the wild. Used to get pretty wasted there in high school. Miss that city
That lil truck with a nos ls3 should be a blast to drive!
What a fun truck man! All about smiles per gallon 😁
You definitely know you're in trouble when you hear the first three chords of the banjo didn't ding ding ding and some guy comes out of the woods with really bad teeth and says boy you got a pretty mouth.LOL to my boys Finnegan and New Bern you guys are awesome love the videos keep them rolling
That's a amazing truck fellers
Going to be a fun little truck with that motor in it
Cool project! Jacksonville is my old hometown
Those blower's look so cool
Had GPS set for shortest distance. Now that's cool truck
Way cool! Love the mini!!
The Varsity..hell yeah! Whadahave whadahave whadahave
It's all about justification, I'm buying a blower for my pull truck causssssssse Finnegan's got one. Justified.
It had a brake light out, so we put a blower on it. Awesome stuff guys
You had me at minitruck was in the middle of looking for a specific video and seen minitruck and had to put the other video on the back burner
I could never figure out why the blown 454, over a Turbo Diesel. But its a show piece that works!
im glad you ended up taking this truck ... it may have not been built perfect it may not be the cheapest to run but the cool factor is crazy off the scales
I still can’t believe you traded this ramp truck. It’s awesome.
Dang!! Y'all were literally in my town! Would have been sick if I would've been able to meet y'all!! LOVE THE VIDS!! DUVVVVAAAALLLLL!
I was only half watching until I saw the buildings, traffic bridges, walls, and the turn out of the tunnel. I know that intersection and I'm a Michigan guy. But we go to Florida for part of the winter and I have been around that sweeping turn many times, usually pulling our Ranger Tug..
