"Clyde, scrap the caddy". Love the content!
That's so cool that your little one wants to help out and learn how to work on cars with her pops👍
A left for dead shop wrecker is exactly what Iam missing!
That’s a cool truck for sure.
" Clyde " is reference to the tow truck Cl8nt Eastwood drove in the movie "ANY WHICH WAY BUT LOSS"
Good night everyone I love your videos of keeping vehicle's on the road than seeing them being scraped keep up the good work
"Right turn Clyde." Love it! Diggin your channel. Keep it up!
Love that classic movie
Rebuilding the engine & reviving the truck; what a perfect combo!
45 minutes to an hour are just right . Don’t mind longer vids, just have a hard time finding time to watch in one sitting. When that’s the case I just have to come back to it later. Looking forward to the rest of the builds. That’s what I like about these video. Not just getting them running and move on to the next one , but following through with some kind of build.
I love this project and what an awesome engine for it! Right turn Clyde! I can't wait to see you put the boom and other components on the back!
I like the long videos keep making them long I like them long
This makes me want to need a tow truck
Gotta say, you got lucky with that engine!
Right turn, Clyde! :)
I knew where the name came from as soon as ya said it loved those movies seen them when they first came out and probably 100 times since . Such simpler enjoyable times back then , cant wait to see this truck come around .
Looks good!! Can’t wait to see the final results. Awesome job!!
the head bolts should have thread sealer as they go thrue to water jackets and i hope you cleaned the oil pan
I got the reference for Clyde. When you are ready to get the patina shining, check out the VGG shine juice from Derek at Vice Grip Garage.
Right turn Clyde!
Now ya talking my language. Rocker trucks.
Been a rocker driver,so can't wait to see how ya gonna get on with this.
FANTASTIC!!
That is an awesome engine it's gonna look great in that old Tow Truck. Thank you for sharing! Get it on the road!
Great job enjoy watching your channel it’s awesome the kids are involved 😊
Love the name, Philo and Orville lives on. Looking very much for the build on the truck. My favorite years of the GM truck line.
Nice way to force the engine, far better than turning the center bolt like most.
Any which way but loose
That was my first thought.
Looks like one of cooters tow trucks from the dukes of hazzard!!💗
thats what i thought
The longer the video the better! Eff anyone that says different!
Keep going buddy
First off thank you for taking time to bring us along with you. The engine you are putting in this wreaked is I have to pickup that vehicle Right Now.
I enjoy the content!
Just wanted to give you a quick comment don't change a thing I don't care if your content is five minutes or five hours I'm still going to watch it
Thank ya!
Left turn Clyde!!!!! Lol love your videos brother.
Keep up The great content
Nice. Keep it up. It’s a sweet truck
I hate movie theaters, but I did go to see that movie.I like how GMC kept the four headlights.
Wow!! What a mess😢
Wow! What a perfect "Graveyard" wrecker! It looked like a scene from "Dune" when you were blown air through it! Kinda wondering why you didn't pull the pan. Great part 1! And I like the long vids.
Another amazing vid mr
Thank you kindly!
That lav mic sounds great.
Depending on particularly looking for in the actual wrecker assemblies. Howie's in the central eastern state region there's more than one yard with a bunch of old weckers in them. I like this series. I've got a 68 that used to be a RV. Winnebago bought the cab and chassis directly from GMC. 1-ton dually. Longer bed area .
Wow. That's a lot of dirt
Heat go a long way
That will make a cool truck.
Clyde is gonna be a ripper!
Can't wait to see him finished, and on the road!
And... coming up on 10k subscribers!
I was gonna suggest exactly that. Great minds think alike lol
Ottimo video, al prossimo un saluto Gek
New to channel awesome
Right turn Clyde.
You have an amazing inventory of cars worth sweating over. I started my business with a 69 GMC like the one you have today and it kept me going during the hardest time starting out when money is the tightest. They are fixable and I could fix it all from engine rebuild, electronics, tranny upgrade under a shade tree and keep going. Today the only one who wants to talk to me about my Tundra repair is a salesman wanting to sell me a new one. The electronics on the new ones scare even great mechanics. Nice job in making me feel envious although I still have my GMC and plan to glam her up so I can keep driving when my Tundra needs another small thing that will take a month for the fix. That tranny should be a Muncie with a bull low that can pull a house off its foundation.
You just can't beat the right ways things were done back then!
Can you do a quick run through/history of your square body? It's one of the things that brought me here. Keep up the great content!
Bought out of a farm field after sitting and not running for years. Put a battery and some gas in it, and it fired right up. 😁
people will find anything to complain about ..since you had on the safety glasses now they will complain that you didn't have gloves on..i'[ve been turning wrenches for over 30 years and never worn gloves...still have all my digits and they work fine...this hopped up 350 oughta do the trick on ole Clyde..he will strut his stuff when going ta town..sendin yall some Bama stars
Yep thought so right turn clide
Don't forget any which way you can
I am assuming those are press in rocker studs? If so, you will need to keep an eye on the lash, that much water may cause the studs to loosen. Being a fresh motor it's not as likely, but still. The microphone sounds great. Keep up the awesome content.
You should be able to get the original factor seat covers from LMC and anything else you need for the interior of the track
Good call EVERYONE names their tow truck mater and it's stupid. So good on you for not doing that. Any Wich way but loose👍 right turn Clyde 😅
Dude at gge end of the day ya just gotta door what needs to be done, we don't have to watch everything in one go. I don't I enjoy watching in segments .
Thank you for your knowledge and experience I myself find that I'm more willing to attempt more complex repairs even though I'm literally on the side of the road. Lol😅
Look forward to the next show.
GOOD JOB!.🤟
PSA!!!! You can join this channel's membership for as little as $2 a month!! Help Garth Grow and get to Full Time TH-cam!!
O m g , ain't never seen a sump full of water. God knows what the main bearing casings are going to be like.
So sad.😢
We shall see!
Right turn Clyde 😂
I use a coat hanger for a hook tool
👍
the lapel mic is MUCH better. Thanks
Right turn Clyde
Un-seize the day!
New subscriber here. Really like your videos. You cleaner the top part of your engine, really good, but not the bottom part. I would have thought that with all the water you would have cleaned that also.
Watch the next parts to this series.
Clint is smiling at the tow truck name.
Dig deeper...its more than what you think it is.
I really hope you pulled the oil pan because there was chunks after the water stopped draining out
Nah, it'll be ok.
But seriously, we're not there yet.
want a shake. Clint Eastwood
Right Turn Clyde...😅
Just asking, what did the inside of the oil pan look like? Enjoyed the video. Thanks
We haven't made it that far yet.
Could you please do use all a favor, send the flat tappet lifter’s back to Comp. Maybe they can study it and be able to machine a set that don’t wipe out the cam. “ Make Flat Tappet Cams Great Again”!
I guess I should watch the whole video before I post lol. Sometime I post 4 or 5 times lol. I got the Clyde reference tho lol.
Garth, I know it's early days, but what kind of power take off do the hydraulics have? Ours are usually bolted onto the transmision
It looks like this one may have been electric. I'll know more when I deep dive into it.
Interesting. Don't think I've come across an electric p t o before. Look forward to what happens. Still haven't finished watching the engine overhaul.
Sure looks like a challenge.
Good luck ,as always.
did you drop the oil pan and clean it and the oil pump out and blow air through the push rods? i would have soaked the lifters, rocker arms and push rods in oil. then dumped a bottle of break in lube over the cam. this is going to be a cool project.
I saw both movies'
Question -- did you remove the oil pan to check the inside of it ??
Watch the next video to find out.
Right turn clyde
✊🏾👍🏾
Spray blaster through the window crack everyday and eventually, that door will open. Been there, done that. A radiator man told me to never use aluminum radiators.
Yoi may want to pull it back apart before you try to start it. The rings are going to be full of rust . Just pull it apart fully and re assemble. Check your bottom end also. It will be full of rust from the water. Pull the oil pan!!!!!
I've been in this rodeo many times.
Predictive text...lol😂😂😂
Pull the oil pan off and clean it out good to see if their are no dirt dobbers I it
A scope, or perhaps even a twig, should tell you if there are mud dauber nests in the cylinders, without buying a new head gasket set. Listening and feeling while turning by hand might tell you as well.
Do mud dauber nests also dissolve in any oil or solvent? and if so, could they have been dissolved out of the cylinders? thereby saving the head gaskets? How much are head gaskets?
Oil pan being deep in water, you going to pull the pan and check the oil pump et al?
Yep
are the 1 tons like that leaf sprung in back.. there is no way they are coils
I haven't been under there yet, but I'm pretty sure it's not coils.
Hey buddy just wondering if you should pull that oil pan off especially after all that water in the base of it!
We'll get there!
@@garthsgraveyardgarage Was gonna ask the same thing but sounds like Garth has it handled.
If that was my engine I would tear it down to bare block pressure wash the heck out of the block and heads and clean all the bearings and start from new reusing everything but adding new break in lube on everything just to make sure everything is clean and is good because who knows what has been where. I'm surprised that thing has over 400 HP with cast iron heads and flat top pistons I got a few crate engines 355ci and it looks like that engine except I have aluminum heads with angle plug heads and it's pushing 355HP the only way I think it would be over 400 is if the thing is stroked out to a 383 i'm not sure what the heads are but they are not even vortec heads by the looks of them or they would have the center holes for the valve covers. To me it looks like a 350hp block but I could be wrong.
Safety first lol
Every which Way but loose or any which way you can
you should take that oil pan off and inspect and clean it the pump is probly full of that sludge
Yep, that's the plan.
Sacrilege!! Who ever done that to that engine.
Sure hope you can get it going?😮
You really should pull the pan and clean everything up there since there was water in it because being a fresh engine is a lot different then a old well worn engine you can spin a bearing real quick on a new engine compared to a worn engine anyway hope it works out for you and it breaks in good but there is a chance of bad things going on like braking rings and spinning bearings and the cam not breaking in properly and flattening a lobe or two.
We're getting there.
Did no one notice it all most looks like the tow truck from dukes of hazard
Use a brake hone
Please show us the oil pan removal , half quart oil , 3 gallons water ?
That's gonna be a mess,,!,,
I bet the original engine in that truck was a 454 or a 402 because I can not see a small block in it being a tow truck plus it being a 1 ton too the small block would of not had the torque needed to be a tow truck in my opinion but you never know.
No, it originally came with a 350.
Did it have a spec lift, or a crane?
Clyde. Lol. What was the bikers called, ws it the black widows or something. 😂 😂😅
Black widows!
What a mess coming out of that engine
