In the past when working on removing and/or repairing a heater core, or anything under the dashboard, I've reclined the front seats and eased myself, laying on the seats upside down with my head on the floorboard, looking up into the front console area. Obviously what I needed to do was place my vehicle on a hoist, remove the floorboards, and stand on the ground to work under the console. All these years I've been obviously doing it wrong. Gee! Why didn't I think of this. Great job on the truck. Loving these updates.
Remember my Dad had a 1950 Chevy sedan with an inline six, maybe the same one, and it ran just fine. What great memories and to know that trucks and cars back then were built of metal and built to last. Really miss my Dad and that car.
So glad to see you put the six back in. Many want to put a big block eight on old cars and trucks. I think the old ones deserve to have what came in them.
My dad's 1950 Chevy panel truck did not come with a heater. He added a South Wind gasoline fired heater to it. Also, there was a Motorola tube AM radio under the dash where a heater might go. At 14 years old I used to listen to Ode to Billy Joe when it first came out on that radio. Must have been Summer of 1967. The truck is still parked in the same spot 53 years later. Somebody stole the starter. The engine quit when the fiber timing gear went out. Your project brings back memories....
Thanks for taking us along. Love the details as well! Don't forget to give us the details as you work out even the "small" problems. That's what we're here for - to learn from the expert!
Thank you Davin! Really love the fact that you saved this from possibly the junkyard and being crushed! It looks great, it's coming along nicely! Can't wait to see it driving.
C'mon man. Sand blast cabinet is right there. 45 minutes and a can of chassis black for that heater and it wouldn't have to suffer paint envy compared to that stovebolt six. Seriously. thanks for all the great videos!
Rusty or not, the level of dedication and attention to detail is above and beyond...what i have come to expect from Hagerty quality work. Thanks for continuing to post more content! Keep up the good work!
Love watching this channel. I'm finishing up my project car which is a 91 Toyota MR2 that I just finished rebuilding the motor. All i have left is fixing the gauges and bleeding the air out of the coolant system.
DAVIN! I'm right there along with you folks in spirit - this is the FUN part of putting one back together, where you can actually see light at the end of the tunnel. :-) By the way, whoever picks the background music for your show is doing a stellar job! Looking forward to the next one. Y'all be careful over there. -Ed on the Ridge
Sweet man, first video I watched and you answered my question. I've got a Motor's truck repair manual, it says to remove engine and transmission together, but that looked impossible because of the cross member. You verified my assessment. Oh, and nice work, really clean. Thanks. 1951 6400.
Gavin and Hagerty crew. Nice job as always. Love the videos, to the point and getting work done. A lot of youtuber vids are 28 mins of talking about what they are going to do and 2 mins of work with music.
Davin's moto of "get out there, get your work done, so you can go work on your ride," makes for an awesome outro. But, I also find it to be a great motivating phrase. I watch the videos and think man I really wanna go work on my truck. But yes I need to go finish my homework first, so I can get a degree and work on awesome cars like that someday.
You have to love the old heater boxes. They're easy to get out, simple and metal, not a fiber plastic unit crammed into a spot requiring hamster mechanics to work on. Keep up the awesome rebuilds.
Awesome! Could you please share a back story about yourself? How you got into cars,engines, rebuilds, what classes i.e. (HS shop) apprenticeship you took ect. Thanks enjoy all the rebuilds and videos.
For only four gears forward, those transmissions are solid weight and pound for pound three of them would make a entire foreign car. Maybe more as my back remembers how hard those were to stab. Nice putting the heater in and standing in a empty cavity I bet as its not easy to get to all the stops on the heater adjustments and setting the little clamps in place. Nice work
I'm almost certain that's the same 6 that Bedford used in their trucks, Vauxhall in the Wyvern, Cresta, Viscount and lastly Ventora. Nice motor, rather heavy but good lazy torque and SO smooth.
This whole pandemic thing has slowed our progress on the Buick a bit! We're waiting on a lot of custom bits and pieces... pistons, intake/exhaust manifolds, etc. We should be able to post an update fairly soon on where we are with everything. Stay tuned!
@@Hagerty I'm very excited. I never imagined the virus would interfere with parts companies. A few days ago, I needed a special hammer, and my local Autozone was open so I could get it. I guess things are different with parts stores that specialize in rare or obsolete automotive parts and equipment.
I can understand not wanting to put much time & effort into restoring the chassis and body but making the inside of the cab clean and presentable is a must, just to keep the rust and grime off your clothes.
A future rebuild could be an Allis Chalmers XT190 with a hydraulic bucket. Weld some hooks on it and it makes those engines easier to remove and replace.
Hola hagerty!!!! Me encanta el trabajo que haces y la dedicación que le pones a las cosas...para cuando se normalice el mundo me gustaría que trabajes con un Y-block son muy populares en argentina
I didnt see it in video- lie to me if you didnt, rubber or thick foam around heater core to keep from vibrating and wearing a hole in it. also keeps air going thru core and not around it.
Trabalho muito, muito bom e original.. Por onde você andava? Kkk, tenho uma 3600 1950, este tipo de conteúdo do canal vale ouro, informações sem precedentes. Gratidão, gracias, tank you. Falo aqui do Brasil
That was their plan. Make everything mechanial function properly, not gussy it up as a show truck. New brakes, engine/trans rebuild, new suspension components, and wiring. This way, they can drive the f out of it, and not be worried about cosmetics, just a reliable old truck.
My two cents: why not test that heater core prior to put it in ?? Some ligt air pressure in it and then in a bucket of water. Fast and easy, no ? Second, I'd had painted the inside of that heater ! You'll breathe in all that rust dust, man !
Heater core - there are replacement heater cores and you could have one custom made to fit or at least retro if need. In the past week I did find a company that appears to have the correct one for the truck, although I am still going to wing it with the one I have.
It hurts my soul to see you put those rusty parts back in the truck. I understand it is a driver, but it still hurts my soul. A coat of rust converter would make it look like brand new. I know I am OC...
Same, those trucks like that one 3/4 ton deluxe cab are like finding hens teeth. I have a 1953 1/2 ton I've owned for nearly 30 years and I wouldn't give that truck up nor would I rebuild it without a total restoration. I love those trucks.
I kinda dig the idea of the overhaul, not a restoration. Thousands of these trucks are restored but this one will stand out. Plus you can always go back and paint it but you can never make the patina :)
Was typing the following when I spotted your post so adding it here instead.....I wish people would at the least use Rustoleum Rust Reformer spray paint on those rusty parts. I use it on my old truck and the rust hasn't come back after several years. It works and it's a shame some think of rust as patina and looks "cool". No it will eat up your vehicle.
It's nice to see a practical driver grade original come together. Tanks for sharing.

You're doing the Lord's work. Beautiful truck.
Hi Davin, yours is the best channel on TH-cam always fun to watch. No bleeping or bloopin just great car stuff...thanks..Frank
Yeah he makes it look easy. I'm sure it isn't but his video's are frustration free and always interesting
ENGINE DAY!!! Awesome Davin!!! Love the Chevrolet badge still being on the heater box!! God you have a great job!!
Thanks 👍

Nothing like a little surf music for putting in the heater core! Good choice!
Thanks for sharing Davin👍
Yes we remember this engine "Shizzle Sticks"😉
Stay safe Bro❤
This is the engine with the head made out of eggshells. The "Shizzle Sticks" engine is the Olds straight 8
Hahaha the "Shizzle Sticks" was the far too gone beyond repair Buick Naihead heads

Love the originality of the car, once the chop top/louvre boys are done its another classic lost forever.

Same, I’ve only got one final left but I’m also having a hard time finding a job so I can finance my projects this summer, I’ll find a way though!
👑👑👑👑
Glad yall are back in the shop and the truck is comin along amazingly well i love the film
Thanks David
Again, thanks hagerty great quality videos for all of us, awesome 🔥🔥
Davin, looking great so far man ! Can't wait to see it all done !
Yah baby!!! It was great to see the engine go in... BTW, the bandaid makes you one of us now :)
You have to love the old heater boxes. They're easy to get out, simple and metal, not a fiber plastic unit crammed into a spot requiring hamster mechanics to work on. Keep up the awesome rebuilds.
YES I pray the box on my '87 Porsche 924s doesn't leak and then I'll have to take apart the whole dash...
Your garage is amazing! Hello from Brazil!
ALWAYS enjoy your stuff!
Thanks for this episode.
Can't wait to see that truck cruising down the road....
Same here! Hopefully very soon!!
i really like going to car shows and seeing original cars in this shape then going and seeing someones 100 thousand dollar fantasy car
My new age Steve McQueen!!!
They do make Outer Cowl Panels where the front fenders attach to the cab.
Awesome! Could you please share a back story about yourself? How you got into cars,engines, rebuilds, what classes i.e. (HS shop) apprenticeship you took ect.
Thanks enjoy all the rebuilds and videos.
Hagerty can you please give us your playlist

Getting closer
Great video!! Great truck!! Thank you!!
Davin is the man!!
Great progress. Looking forward to hearing it run....again. At this time, there are 6 dislikes on this video. WTF dislikes this? Why bother watching?
Can't wait to next episode
I miss my 55 IH r100. Nice job!
That SM 420 is one heavy chunk of cast iron. I changed a clutch on my truck a few years ago solo. I doubt that I could do it again without help.
The best channel
I'm almost certain that's the same 6 that Bedford used in their trucks, Vauxhall in the Wyvern, Cresta, Viscount and lastly Ventora. Nice motor, rather heavy but good lazy torque and SO smooth.
Love the truck video's, hope to see more on it. Thanks again.
finally, redline \m/ I've been waiting for this for so long
I do enjoy these videos/updates. Where are you with the straight 8 Buick?

I wish i could had a mechanic like Davin in my hood, i will probably move next to his shop xD
Looking good. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. Job well done.
Did I see rust on the heater core?
or my eyes were getting fooled.
Been long awaiting this moment to finally happen
Awesome. Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦😎
I can understand not wanting to put much time & effort into restoring the chassis and body but making the inside of the cab clean and presentable is a must, just to keep the rust and grime off your clothes.
Have you met Davin? I don't think the man owns clean clothes. 😆
Very nice. Loving it from Chile. Jim

i wish all your videos were longer!
if you cant find a new cabin filter just clean the old one with some air..
I really dig the channel and the progress. Y'all could do less (and shorter) slo-mo bits...
Hello please add subtitles in Spanish I really like this series. Greetings from Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico.
I'll drive it in the winter...
What's the cool cool music?
Gotta get some.
That's a great video and song. The music we usually use in our videos is stock production music that's not publicly available.
hi sir
Im watching u from other side of planet
praying extra for all that make me feel happy, so, praying for extra you ;-)
I mostly watch these videos because of the background music
1:35 Ruuskie surf rock👏👏👏
Lol the music is great but the content is as well
@@averagecarguy420 sure thing 😄
Dang y'all took your time with this update lmao
There's kind of this pandemic thing happening right now...
OK, now what are you going to do now that you plugged up your access hole in the floor with the trany. LOL. Keep on smiling.
W.O.W.
“I need two screws for the horn” Don’t we all.
Just curious.. are you leaving the frame and all the rusty stuff alone? It's hard to keep up since Haggerty has so many projects/vids. thanks. !
That was their plan. Make everything mechanial function properly, not gussy it up as a show truck. New brakes, engine/trans rebuild, new suspension components, and wiring. This way, they can drive the f out of it, and not be worried about cosmetics, just a reliable old truck.

Second, I'd had painted the inside of that heater ! You'll breathe in all that rust dust, man !
Cool music !!!
Must have a heater and defroster. Not optional.
Painting the front part of the frame would have been easy when you had the engine out...
Oficina das raridades 🏁🇧🇷🚥🚦
question, if your heater core was shot, would u be able to get a nos or replacement or have one made based on the old one? great vids guys 😁👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏
Heater core - there are replacement heater cores and you could have one custom made to fit or at least retro if need. In the past week I did find a company that appears to have the correct one for the truck, although I am still going to wing it with the one I have.
He He... He said.. "Mate it to the transmission"
Best time when i watching u 😘😘
How are the buicks coming along?
When is the straight 8 coming back on?
why do you allways use those belts to pull up the Engine? is it safe?
I know it's a big job, but, I wish you'd have painted the heater box, while it was apart.
Original,dont change nastalgia !!
The day I trust a serpentine belt to hoist an engine will never come
Why? I have infinitely more faith in the serp belt than say a strap from Harbor Freight

i agree. with some wire bursh and atleast paint with rust treatment. also the heater box. you do not want to smell o breath rusty air.
@@davidlong1786 Agreed, this "patina fad" is one I'll personally be glad to see go out of style.
How come you can’t check that heater core before you put it in there?
A Barra six would go great))). oi oi oi
How was that free all lube? We just got it at work I was going to try it out what do you think of it Davin?
Why you dont sandblast and paint the frame ?
Where is the Buick?
Wish the video was a lot longer
