We have a 84 Chevy full on deluxe model, got AC power windows and locks, cruise control and power steering. It has a bench but ours is a custom built one with a folding center console
I love seeing these old SBCs run after years. My 85 is the same way. No matter how I treat it or how long it sits, all she needs is a jump pack and a couple breaths from Bill Cosby's inhaler and she roars right to life
Great video and save! I graduated high school in 1975 and went to work at a Chevy dealership and did PDI's (pre-delivery inspections) on these trucks when they were brand new. Kinda makes me feel old- oh wait, I am old.
SBC?. It could be sitting in a field until you're sitting on a milk crate bungied to the frame, and as long as you have spark, air and fire.. it should run.
I like the up lose shot of the engine, as apposed to the whole car, because I get to see all the dust and crap flying off the engine when it tries to crack. I like the color green too.
I’ve got a 74 Cheyenne...same engine. Was my dads first car....been sitting for 20 plus years. Gonna drop and rebuild the motor. Not a mechanic at all but I’m gonna give it a try.
Im beyond thrilled to see this! A squarebody only a year older than mine! You know ill be watching these intently for anything I can pick up and learn! You guys have made me really happy!
I own a 1980 Chevrolet Scottsdale 10 4x4 tone- blue. 350 4- barrel . Runs like a top!!!!! Since March 30, 1998. Montgomery,MN. You would love to see this one!!!!!!
Awesome job guys! Good 'ol Chevy! I love my '72 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup! It sat for over 12 years or so before I found it rotting away. With the help of my brother over the 2014 summer. We got it going and I drove it home with the front wheels. As the driveshaft was too short. lol If you care to look I have the videos on my channel. Take care and thanks for rescuing another great and timeless pickup!
Not only did you finally do a squarebody chevy revival you did one of my favorite year models. And I found out you dont actually hate chevys. Im an even bigger fan of this channel now
These revival videos are the best. Up close engine shots please so I can see what you're doing. Thanks for all the cool content. P.S. When I was a kid I called wasps, waspers.
I have a 83 me and dad been rebuilding for whenever I get my license, very blessed and very thankful to be able to build my dream truck at 15 to age 16
They really needed to hit the thing with a wrench (works with computers too) or yank the wires. It'll need to be replaced anyway so you're not going to hurt it any worse than it was.
Definitely prefer the engine bay view. As someone without a lot of carburetor experience, it helps to see what you're doing to figure it out. Always glad to see Mook though.
Great job guys. Love your channel. Glad to see you liking and using the knives I sent you. Keep up the awesome revivals. I really don't care what you revive as long as it has an engine.
Isn't it nice to be appreciated? No recognition for sending them in. Kevin had no idea who it was. Then tells people where to send in more for them. And asks for people to buy more merch from them. He then empties half a can of brake clean in the throat of the motor and says, I think it might be flooded, LMAO!!!!
Long live the legends thank you for give this old cars n trucks a second chance in life I'm not a Ford or GM guy I'm mopar but I love to see them have another chance in life so we call make joke n argue about what vehicle is better lol thank you guys I support y'all service 🤙🇺🇸
I feel your pain Kevin square body chevys are everywhere over here in idaho but unless you've got 40 grand to placate the owner or you are willing to buy a complete rust bucket you arent gunna find one.
My grandfather and father had a truck like that. I drove it all through the 90s and it survived well into the 2000s until my father got a newer truck. It got no gas mileage but was a beast of a truck. this brings back memories.
Y'know....I thought Wrench Everyday made me want to rescue something. But this is my third video with you guys, and now I'm looking for a project? Thanks guys! 😄
Hahahahahaha!!! There must have been a few of them, because I went to high school with a few myself. I think they switched their names to “lunch meat queen” now a days
Chevy trucks born to rust 😉 I enjoy watching the pair of you and your antics, I'm a GM fan and really enjoyed watching that pile of rust come back to life, thanks guys 👍☮️
Try different plug gaps. A fouled plug can often fire a very small gap of around .010", especially with plenty of fuel and compression; and if lean or low compression, it might only want to fire with around .050". Try one of each and see what works! especially if you don't have clean plugs to put in.
I like the shots of what you are doing in the engine bay rather than the pulled out shots. You do enough of these start up videos that you should have a standard kit, including strong battery, starter fluid, tire inflator, fuel lines, fuel filters, hose clamps, etc. Also include some basic repair items, such as belts, plugs, wires, etc for the model of vehicle you are targeting.
I prefer the engine shots, but a good addition would be like a go pro or something records from the rear to show if smoke or junk shoots out of the exhaust, thats always fun :)
@Junkyard Digs sorry for the @ but i have to ask, where is the squarebody now? haven't seen it in awhile, and when i have the money, i may be interested in it.
I had a 76 Chevy 350 3/4 ton pickup with a 4 speed. That fan was a pain always running. I put a toggle switch at the bottom of the dash to turn it on and off. The center carrier bearing of the driveshaft wore out and the idler for the steering froze and got noisy after 50K miles. Other than that, the fuel 'economy' was poor, but it ran like a race horse with an Edelbrock intake.

I died laughing too
It's called target fixation and it killed a lot of ground attack pilots.

LMAO i'll have to agree with KEVIN on that one; the set up was perfect but the execution rofl

So did I
My first thought
Can we all take a moment to appreciate that he has a leather holster for his pliers?
It is iowa lol I mean they have a radio station that plays yodel lol
I have one I Carrie on a daily that has a spot for a flat head screw driver pliers and an adjustable crescent wrench

He did get a hug out of it so a win.
lolollolol
Kevin: Hang on, it's on fire.

Wide angle shot preferred, that way we can see when a guy walks imto the front edge of a hood. Green is my favorite color.
when the radio started to yodel that caught me so off guard lmao
Every country station within a 100 mile radius owns the presets on that truck. It's like my grandfather owned it.

The Johnny paycheck on that radio was so fitting
I owned Johnny Paychecks winabago tour bus. Had a big dodge wedge in it. Way down in Lower Alabama
Johnny who?
When this man uploads I know it’ll be a good video
He does a great overvoice as well. Like in the power tour video.
That akward moment you're about to rub up on your girl and bash your head on the underside of the hood
Got that one before me
Saw it coming and then BANG! Fuuny as hell. He got punished!
Chevy made sure he wasn't doing that for sure.
Well, since we did not need to see him slide up on Mook, the Chevy punished him.
The ole Chevy said nope not happening here
5:57 That is Johnny Paycheck's "Slide Off Your Satin Sheets" . Judging by the previous owners taste in music they were some minty folks.
I got oddly happy when I heard it.
I was like "Oooh, that's a good song!"
Watching your videos has helped me get out of the lack of motivation I've had due to the past year.
