@@desertrat1357 no, just got a new phone. The old one burnt up in the truck. I forgot I have two you tube channels. It'll be on my other channel justintime-mechanics as soon as I can figure out how to get back in it lol
Love the videos bubba keep em comin. I’m from Arkansas myself and your an inspiration of mine to bring these old machines back to life. Keep it up man💪🏼❤️
That was quite the optioned Scottsdale...even had factory A/C I noticed. I think she's worth saving. Apparently she was driven hard considering how that motor sounded. Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to the future videos! 👍
I had a 76 Scottsdale with factory ac and am/fm stereo. Only thing she was missing was power doors and windows. I loved that truck, should never got rid of it
You remind me of my cousin that past away in 96 just signed up for the marine, driving too fast on back roads wrapped around a tree, but loved your videos
Anybody else notice the whole engine bouncing up an down when cranking/running? Possibly missing engine mounts allowing the oil pan to support the engine? The crank hitting the oil pan could be the cause of the metal in the oil and the noise... Neat revival!
It's great to see a new video, and I'm saddened to hear the knock in that poor old Chevy. I was wondering what happened to you, good to see you back, looking forward to more content 👍☮️
It was just Yesterday I got a call from a long time friend I haven't hung out with the guy since before I left 4 Iraq. I did call him a few times told him I am into rescuing and restoring old trucks. He used to joke about finding his old 69 Chevy PU that had the 4spd transmission. We called it Elvis because when he got Elvis circa 1980 is when guys like us started to get our drivers license and this thing was sitting on a gas station parking lot at the corner of an intersection a better part of year 4 sale everyday after school Jimmy would try to cut a deal with the gas station owner to buy the truck. For one the economy thing was happening back then everyone was stepping down to smaller trucks and cars. This thing had a bad motor so Ole Jimmy got a 283 someplace back then and stuck that in the thing painted the truck white on top black on the bottom and it had one of them old camper caps. It had two Elvis is King bumperstickers on it. That is how it got it's name Elvis. Sure enough down the back of Emmaus Pa. Jimmy had certainly seemed to have found Elvis. After closer examination going 45 feet down an embankment in someones back yard which turned out to be a guy by the name of Scott Higgins came up to us yesterday because he was out cutting grass. We asked if the truck was his. He said no it's been there since he bought the house in 1999. We asked if we could buy the truck. He said buy it hell everyone wanted to charge him to get back up the embankment. Ya see there is small narrow but friggin really deep creek between Scotts nice level yard and the street out front so the truck would have to go back up the embankment. I called my old friend Roger Rabbit the tow guy from that area and he sent us his newest recovery truck and for $200 pesos he hauled the Elvis clone back up to the upper hiway from where it had been pushed or driven into that little ravine then straight to Jimmys house. Elvis II needs a grill and bumper which Jimmy totally shocked the hell out of me he had already ordered a bumper grill left front fender and hood from Brothers Trucks.. The thing had some sort of critters living in it so I served em eviction notices when we got the Elvis clone to Jimmys house I pulled the doors off it with his help of course. It's gonna be a nice resto. It does appear both the trans and the rear is bad the motor seemed to have some work done to it as well so we might be able to save the motor in it once we find out what it is... . It had fresh shocks and front bushings in it too back when. The shocks still looked pretty good so did the A arm bushings. Its not a 4x4 truck it was 2x4 hot rod back in the day and this truck has no traces of the side pipes the original Elvis had side pipes. I helped put them on the original Elvis when I got home from boot camp in 1982. Its gonna be a nice build the 30 some years it may have been off the road saved the frame is in super shape. The cab mounts and cab floor not. He ordered that stuff from brothers trucks and it should be here on Friday along with my shit for Holley Anne (1988 Ford High Boy) from LMC.... I just located a rebuilt 4spd trans for Elvis at a salvage yard near by here where I live. Its dicey whether or not its the original Elvis. It does have hooker headers which Jimmys original Elvis did have hooker headers. When he gets the crap and mold off the dash board that will tell us if it is in deed the real Elvis. Jimmy had carved Karens name in the dash above the ash tray with one of then engraving tools. Jimmy is mechanic for a living so this should turn out to be interesting to see if this is the real 1969 Elvis C10 PU that belonged to him. Jimmy sold Elvis when Karen got pregnant with Jr. the summer of 1991 Elvis no longer ran it had a bad fuel tank as well as other worn out stuff. This is gonna be interesting.as hell...By this mornings conversation Elvis will be getting a pressure washer bath today and the seat fuel tank and dash will come out of him...
I wasn't notified!! Thanks for effort and upload 👍. I'll like, share and comment for algorithm to make up for it. Always happy when I see a new video pop up!
Motor isn't bolted down, laying on the oil pan. I bet that motor is just fine. Just add motor mounts n a new oil pan..hopefully! The rest of that engine looks like it was just rebuilt
Was that a rod knock or was it the flywheel? The engine was jumping up and down as you was cranking it, so I am thinking that was something other than rod knock. Also the ignition timing needed to be advanced as it was firing too late.
i was thinking same thing. i would try addressing clutch and flywheel before writing off that engine. i have seen folks write off an engine due to loose flywheel bolts more than once.
Hello Sir! I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos.... I live in Southern Kentucky, a very rural town where there are lots of old klunkers that have sat for years on end. Many times I have driven by them wondering if they would ever run again. You and your channel does exactly what I think about.... Love it! Keep up the great videos!
I was thinking to myself yesterday, Where has the kid been ? and sure enough today i find a video Finally suggested to me . Looking fwd to seeing what you have coming in the near future :)
You found one nut down the intake, hope there weren’t more! A nut bouncing around inside a cyl could be causing that knock when it gets to top of stroke!
Love the video by the sound of it the engine is shot the rods and probably the bearings in it is gone as well as pits on the block so that's it keep up the great work Mr Jennings and whoud love to see more videos about the 29 GMC your biggest fan El/bpc
Leaving a old vehicle out in the elements is the worst thing that can happen. I have a 1978 jeep wagoner all original that’s been garage kept and I’m glad the previous owners did that.
Is the balancer hitting on the crossmember???? The engine was shooting rust from there in the first start, and it looked shiny by the timing cover in a quick clip toward the end.... it would be worth a look.
Rite when i was thinking he's game splashing fuel down there with the timing out stone cold with wide open throttle, then woof up she went in flames 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great value, classic😂😂😂😂😂
I've experienced a similar problem ..it turned out that all the carbon in the head had literally dropped off the pistons and cylinder heads.. (it had been stood for years)..and gathered at the lowest point of the combustion chamber..so..as I turned the motor over..it effectively stopped the pistons from getting to TDC...thought the engine was fubar..till I lifted the heads...phew...relief!
Marvel mystery oil is literally mineral oil with a dye in it... Sorta like sea foam is kerosene.... As is basically all "fuel cleaner" except Barryman 👍
your voice is the definition of southern charm
*Almost burns down the entire rig*. “Timing’s a bit off…” 😂😂
He is f*cking hilarious 😂👌
"Maybe"
Been there. 🤣
Always with the, “Woo!”
*Sudden caustic eruption* -- Guy: "Lawrd have murcy! 🤣🤣 God Bless dude!
Xd I love how calm you were about the entire engine bay catching fire.
Entire? Just the carb and just abit around not too crazy
He's always calm haha. Engine bay fires are a regular
You are brave soul and have a sense of humor
Love the videos, don’t be afraid to make hr long content, we’re all glued
My girl is a Scottsdale 75 she’s my world ❤️
A Scottsdale BBQ lol. I'm totally convinced you could get anything to run. Your channel is so cool. Great job
Glad to see you back. My truck just burned to the ground. I'll post up a video about it soon.
Got the video out yet?

A camper special short bed?!
Best Car Videos on TH-cam.
You remind me of my cousin that past away in 96 just signed up for the marine, driving too fast on back roads wrapped around a tree, but loved your videos
I admire your confidence. Also, it's amazing how much room the engine bay has in these old vehicles.
I really appreciate how you see potential when most others would see scrap.
That's vision and optimism!
Anybody else notice the whole engine bouncing up an down when cranking/running? Possibly missing engine mounts allowing the oil pan to support the engine? The crank hitting the oil pan could be the cause of the metal in the oil and the noise... Neat revival!
That was exactly my thought. That engine was bumping around quite abnormally.
I like to think he's smart enough to look underneath.
Something should be visibly obvious.
@@JohnShinn1960 I am not convinced about intelligence.😁 I am probably wrong.😁
By the looks of the rest of truck they probably took the motor mounts too
Man, I just think you are SO funny!!! I love watching your videos, and hearing the funny things you say! Keep it up!
It's great to see a new video, and I'm saddened to hear the knock in that poor old Chevy. I was wondering what happened to you, good to see you back, looking forward to more content 👍☮️
i am not a car guy at all but bless this mans heart he's getting these old trucks to run again!
flames coming out of the bowl and he just turns her over to burn it off.... i love this channel
Never seen someone so calm when the engine starts on fire. Very cool!

You have one of the most interesting Yankeee accents, love listening to it and your relaxed vibe
Great to see another video from you. Love the square body.
Thumbs up from the UK.
Good to see you back!
I wasn't notified!! Thanks for effort and upload 👍.
I'll like, share and comment for algorithm to make up for it. Always happy when I see a new video pop up!
Well that was disappointing!👋😂I was looking forward to you driving it! Man I can’t wait to see more on the Cuda!👌😎👍
Motor isn't bolted down, laying on the oil pan. I bet that motor is just fine. Just add motor mounts n a new oil pan..hopefully! The rest of that engine looks like it was just rebuilt
Love the long hair. 🔥 I know nothing about cars but love to watch you do your thing. Learned a lot just from lurking. 😂 keep it up!

I’m getting stickers for my truck…..😂. Love that!
I love this old truck!!!!! I'm currently driving a 78 suburban 4x4 with the granny low.
That's awesome it looks like most of your parts are there
.........You are going to be the #1 vehicle resurrection channel someday soon.
How you've got time for all this is beyond me. Gotta say, pretty jealous! Keep up the solid work!
And money...
Finally! Seems like we've been waiting ages for another video!
great video! Thanks for the will it runs - you find the most unlikely candidates and somehow manage to make pretty well anything run!
That motor is clean inside just pray it don't start knocking
Man this was alot of fun thanks for posting. Your awesome brother.
Can’t believe how calm you are even with the engine catching fire and a molotov in your hand 🤣🤣🤣
Glad that y'all are back, another awesome video!! Sucks about the knock, and totally not in the good way..... Can't wait for some of those resto vids.
I love the projects you take on.

Can't wait for more. Awesome channel.
You sure that’s a 383? And man a camper special and short bed!? Use to be a boss back in its day
Love me some squarebody videos. Ain't nothing better on a Saturday morning.
My grandfather had a 3/4 ton 1975 Cheyenne/camper special. He had it into the early 2000’s before the engine finally crapped out.
I really enjoy all your content... especially the restorations... Don't get me wrong... will it runs are fun
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Excellent video Jennings :) they always fire in hole should keep running like charm Lol and you did too!
Great video...looking forward to your next project.
me and my husband love to see your videos :-) hey from denmark
Great video. Looking forward to seeing more.
Your very amazing specialty on that old caddy
These are soo relaxing to watch
Welcome back.
The man is back!
Pumped!! Let us know if you are selling any of your projects
I love watching and miss working on the ones you could sit on the fender to work on them. can hardly get your hand in the new ones
You found one nut down the intake, hope there weren’t more! A nut bouncing around inside a cyl could be causing that knock when it gets to top of stroke!
And cause the engine to literally bounce?
I love your vids. Looking forward to more of them
Love the video by the sound of it the engine is shot the rods and probably the bearings in it is gone as well as pits on the block so that's it keep up the great work Mr Jennings and whoud love to see more videos about the 29 GMC your biggest fan El/bpc

Been watchin your channel for a few months now , I love all the projects you do , you should do a video where you show all of the cars you got
The general does it again! even with bad rod bearings possibly. Yes, more videos of the 29 GMC and that stove bolt 6!
I’m so excited for more videos
Looking forward to more great content
You sound like Mr. Mackey m’kay.
Is the balancer hitting on the crossmember???? The engine was shooting rust from there in the first start, and it looked shiny by the timing cover in a quick clip toward the end.... it would be worth a look.
Stayin tuned for the next.
👍👍
You are absolutely master... 😂😂😂😂 You don't accept defeat.. master !!😊
That was quite clean shame about the knocking but you got her spitting flames in the end 🔥🤣
This engine should be pulled, and entirely rebuilt. The source of the knock should be located.
....yup.
They killed that engine! :0
Please make a playlist for your will it starts so I can watch them all easily
Rite when i was thinking he's game splashing fuel down there with the timing out stone cold with wide open throttle, then woof up she went in flames 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great value, classic😂😂😂😂😂
The crome value covers give a extra 100 hp
Daggone, I tell ya what! that is a real humdinger!!
Looks messy . Hope you succeed. From South Africa.
love these videos. I would love to soo this truck put back together.
Nice job !!
My dad had one just like it I was 2 when he bought it new
You will, of course, won't forget about the blinker fluid.
If and when there are ever blinkers.
You know if the block is good you can put it away and get some parts together and then you'll be able to put a good engine together
I've experienced a similar problem ..it turned out that all the carbon in the head had literally dropped off the pistons and cylinder heads.. (it had been stood for years)..and gathered at the lowest point of the combustion chamber..so..as I turned the motor over..it effectively stopped the pistons from getting to TDC...thought the engine was fubar..till I lifted the heads...phew...relief!
Flywheel plus aint fastened securely to transmission, whole engine bout to jump out of it.
16:36 THATS EXACTLY WHAT I IMAGINED WOULD HAPPEN!!!!
This is the funniest video I have seen in awhile. Motor mounts are loose.
Good job. Keep it up.
Did you ever hear the term "too many irons in the fire"? Lol
One of our service vans is playing a knock knock joke too
where's part II of the Starliner? i was raised in Chevys but gotdahmn the Starliner was/is a beautiful car.
Man you and pole barn garage need to have a build off with that cuda.
Very interesting stuff man! Cool!
Where is the cuda build!!! Im assuming your making the video cant wait for it to drop im excited seeing the progress in a video format!
I'm having similar problems getting atv parts. Of course in my neck of Arkansas there is nothing available aside from standard tune up parts
Marvel mystery oil is literally mineral oil with a dye in it...
Sorta like sea foam is kerosene.... As is basically all "fuel cleaner" except Barryman 👍
I love your videos just as much as I hate to see all that dirt falling into the "sterile" parts of the engines. xD
