@@richfletcher4286here in Australia we had our own version of the commercial you’re talking about.

Yep - I am becoming a fan of this kid - he is soo cool - not camera shy - will be a great mechanic if he choses to go that way - still he could do this for a hobby in his life moving forward - I wish him well. Go JD - still be a kid enjoy your youth.
"oh, no... that's fine" he's learning from the master and the broken bolt part is why i love this channel, instead of getting mad they just continued as nothing happened. lovely son-father relationship
After watching Mr.DB out of anything or anyone else at the moment and just his constant need to mangle words which now is irritating, I am so thrilled to have a nonsense free shade tree pole barn mechanic to be watching knuckle bust out another sound motor vehicle... sounds sooo good, being I have a volume control.

While not powerful, 250’s were bulletproof, and got decent fuel mileage. Like the 305; everyone bashes 305’s but I’ve owned and driven many 350-400k mile 305’s.
Oh good, I fixed my membership. Fun fact, did you know that some banks may suddenly decide sending 99c to youtube is fraud, despite having done it for literally YEARS! Yep... Oh well, that's fixed now, can't wait to see what's gonna happen with this old Chevy. Been seeing this one on FB for a while!
Yeah, I hear you. While I certainly appreciate them looking out, and I will say I've had VERY few actual fraudulent charges on my account - and all of them got caught pretty much immediately; the automated fraud detection software banks rely on can get a little goofy sometimes. Had a business trip last year where I went into my bank in person ahead of time, told them directly "I will be in this city from this date to this date", and then their system still freaked out and locked my card when I tried to use it in the airport. Even better, it happened right when my auto-pay on my internet bill tried to go through.
@@SynchronizorVideosmy bank fraud system is triggered by about half my rock auto purchases. Pretty goofy. It’s not like I haven’t spent lots of money there. 🤷♂️ atleast the Punjabi guys who are employed to resolve the issues are friendly and speak good English.
My uncle has always had me use transmission fluid on door and hood hinges and pivot points for a similar reason and the fact it has to be really cold for transmission fluid to even be affected by cold weather unlike WD-40 that will freeze up
@25:36 That is the first time I've seen a leaf spring/Dana 44 rear on a 6066 Chevy. GMCs had that setup, but a C10 should have trailing arms and coil springs on a GM 12-bolt axle.
I love seeing jd getting some hands on time working on your projects! He might not know yet but he will look back apon helping you out and most likely smile. Oh what id give to work on a project with my father one more time😂. Especially getting yelled at for not holding the flashlight in the correct spot😂
Most people don’t appreciate how nice it is until the opportunity is gone. I know I didn’t appreciate it and now I wish I could work on something with my dad or just talk to him about life’s problems.
I love it when You and your Son work together you too are Sooooo funny. You are always funny you and Jess are funny to BUT you and your Son just can't be beat. You too just about can read each other minds with what going to be said. Nothing better than a father and son working together it's awesome watching you too together. You have an Amazing Awesome Son and l really enjoy watching Him work and learn when helping you work on Cars Trucks anything.
Greetings from the UK. I'm Irish, but been living in England for a long time. This video is a bit of light relief tonight (it's just shy of midnight here). Had my sister on the phone about 3 hours ago to tell me our Mom died this evening. So that's a bit of a bummer. I'll be leaving on a jet plane to go back to Ireland (again) just three weeks after being told to disappear by both my sister & my Dad. In the meantime, I'm going to continue watching Dalton try to make this pile run (better) & drive.
@@nomisharris, thank you. She had a large heart attack a couple of months ago and wasn't well, but I thought she might get a few more years. Unfortunately not.
you've inspired me for a while to get my own truck to work on and i finnaly got it last week! It was running when i got it off the trailer in my driveway and within 20 minutes i made it to where it no longer starts and i have to wait a month for parts! But im happy to finnaly get my own project truck, thanks for the inspiration!
I saw y’all bringing that new project back to HQ the other day, I was in my purple g35. Y’all gave me these stickers with your channel on em, just decided to look y’all up and I’m impressed! Y’all have quite the following. Good for y’all man good to see👌
I love how you Bobed the rear wheel assembly brakes. When you know what the retainers and springs a suppose to do, you can actualy make the brake work, and I find you a very resourceful man.
Congrats to the new owners! Since they're local, it would be really cool if - once they get it fixed-up, cleaned-up, & running well - they brought it back so Dalton could film a short update video showing the "final" result (even though we all know a project car like this is never really finished).
Definitely the best bang for our buck, Dalton I've been watching you since the beginning you had had 40k subs and I said come on everyone let's get him to a 100k, now you are well over 200k subscribers, man I wish you many many more
First time i spent money on TH-cam is to be a Pole barn garage low buck club I am member for 5 months not regret this. Good story and a Happy ending for this C10
Are you sure you didn’t do the previous “custom” body and paint on that thing? 🙃 I like it and I’m not a normally a GM guy. They were just great looking trucks. 🛻
first thing I learned to drive when I was 10 on my grandma's farm was a mid 60s chevy Apache 3 on the tree fuel gauge didn't work and no gas cap we used a yard stick to check the fuel level and aluminum foil and a rubber band for a gas cap great memories keep up the great work Dalton
65-66 C-10s are the only Chevys I really like, I learned to drive on a 66 with the three on the tree and a straight six. I wanted it to be my first vehicle but I didn't tell my dad that and he sold it.
Here in the UK we're lucky, the vast majority of vehicles have manual transmission, so you make sure you have spark and fuel, then tow them down the road at 40 mph, drop the clutch in second or third gear and if they're going to start, they will. Simple 3000 to 4000 rpm starter.
I know there is soo much budget builds for LS swaps but if you did a LS swap budget build ->your style would be kick ass and people can learn from a real budget build 🤘😝🤘 keep being you man !
It looks like something my old neighbor would slap together. He was really good at building stuff, but you could tell it was just put together with whatever was on hand. Edit: my current neighbor has a fully restored black one of these.
It's worthwhile keeping a cheap universal classic car wiring harness in stock. That way, when you get a rats nest of wiring, like on this truck, you can quite quickly replace the critical wires. Because the function of each wire (eg, headlights) is printed on the wires, it speeds up the process and avoids mistakes. You can also just discreetly zip tie the remainder of the harness under the dashboard. That means that any future wiring upgrades are much easier.
Lol you nailed the disassembly problem. I am guilty. My understanding is rear bumpers were optional on a lot of old c10s. Mine has a farmer special, giant angle iron.
Another great video and definitely a good old truck just needs a little love. This is probably one of the best “will it run” on TH-cam because…well it’s more than just a will it run. Vehicles get running and driving and things fixed and like with this one go one to live another chapter in its life story. Keep up the amazing videos they’re always the highlight of my Fridays.
Looks pretty similar to my 62, even though mine is red based. Man they are fun once they are up and running. I'm 700 hours into my truck. It was headed to scrap any day. Cool truck!
The hotter the better with putting the water in while running it steam cleans inside thats a good job good thinking thats a real old school trick. And works really well, my dad taught me befor he passed his grand father taught him that, i miss him very much
About 50 years ago or so my uncle made his living painting cars. Toby loved Chevy v8 engines. He always said don’t ever buy a Chevy six. I don’t recall why he hated those so bad I just know he did. Have a good one !
I wish everyone had the ingenuity to take 2 bad things and make one good one, that is a dying art. You never fail to entertain with the sarcastic wit we appreciate!
30 years ago, a coworker gave me a battered (not beer battered....or maybe it was 🤔) 66 GMC. It ran good, but no clutch, no brakes, leaked water from the head like a dorm shower 🚿. But he said "the front end is completely shot. Its too scary to drive." I found the cause quickly: He'd installed white Baja wheels like yours, using SHORT acorn lug nuts. The studs were bottoming out on the end of the nuts before the wheels were on tight. EZ fix. But did you ever replace a head gasket and freeze plugs on a late-70s INTEGRAL-CAST 250 head? The head weighed 100 lbs and I had no cherrypicker! 💪
It's increasingly disturbing how many people in the automotive industry don't know the difference between brake and break.
Finally someone remembers the "Like a Rock" Chevrolet commercial's.

If you want more bang for your buck you should pay the 10 dollars you get even more right Dalton.
Everytime i watch a new video youve got 2k more subscribers. Doing big things. With terrible vehicles. Congrats.
I'd just like to take a second to point out how hilarious JDs deadpan delivery is. His comedic timing is excellent.
Whoever assembled that truck before you got to it, had a Masters degree in Redkneck engineering!

Happy with the Low buck club today. God knows I'm broke. but at least I got some Pole Barn to watch!
Hell yeah thanks brother
Broke but not BROKEN! Thanks to DALTON'S MASTER PLAN OF A " LOW BUCK CLUB"
@@Mohawk21-oi1nit His genius is unmatched.
Amen brother
Yeah the only club I can afford also lol...well worth the Dollar im fixing to join right now as we speak
Love those mid 60's C10s. I think they are all worth putting back on the road in one form or another.
11:17 - I love these "past Dalton" edits 😂
Another great video! Best 1$ ever spent!
Same on the 'past edits' glad to see you mentioned this...😊
I do like the subtle edits, it's not too much like some channels (Non - car content) where the editing IS the video.
Ominous foreshadowing 🤘🏻
The foreshadowing bit is as funny as the jag/top gear bit imo
Hey Dalton.... Cool tip, get you a small kiddie pool, like a 36" one.... they are great for draining radiators into 😁
@25:36 That is the first time I've seen a leaf spring/Dana 44 rear on a 6066 Chevy. GMCs had that setup, but a C10 should have trailing arms and coil springs on a GM 12-bolt axle.

You literally saved me SO much money finding a set of tires for my truck on Priority tires. If only you could help me get my truck running better 😅
Looks like my project trucks wiring 😂 wire nuts everywhere, questionable routing. My favorite
I don't know why I watch this channel. I do learn things. Like sawdust in the oil to make it run better till it's sold.
good work JD, that pump fought you but you didn't give up. excellent!
Love how the missing radiator grille and loose hood makes the truck look like its going "Om Nom Nom Nom" as it bounces along.
65-66 C-10s are the only Chevys I really like, I learned to drive on a 66 with the three on the tree and a straight six. I wanted it to be my first vehicle but I didn't tell my dad that and he sold it.
With that fire near the gas tank you almost “LOST THE SHOP!!!!”
"I'd drive the hell outta this thing."well we made it back" great video Dalton and JD
Best pro TH-camr ever!
I'm basically Mr beast (I didn't know who that was about a month ago and had to ask jd)
The 6 cylinders are awesome!!!!
Shooting flames out of the top of the carburetor now it's a Mortske video
My grandfather had one of these. Glad to see this one back on the road.
YES thankyou Dalton
18:31 You ain't lying! I'm so damn happy my 71 C10 has that engine in it. They're just damn good engines.
i6's are awesome! v8's arent as reliable and torquey!
Thank you for the drum brake tutorial
JD sounds just like you when hes wrenching. Hes a good kid.
Thank God for the Low Buck club!
The side cover on the 292 is larger is the easiest way to tell a 292 over the other chevy inline 6s. Keep up the good work sir

I bet its better to just put that i6 to heaven (good way) By installing it racing parts, it would be an awesome i6 project! v8's are everywhere!!

Challenge accepted!! I Love this channel 😍
It's awesome that you bring JD with you on these adventures!! He is learning a lot from you. Really meaningful life skills. Keep it up!!
Lol you nailed the disassembly problem. I am guilty. My understanding is rear bumpers were optional on a lot of old c10s. Mine has a farmer special, giant angle iron.
Loved the “just edit in a fire” comment by jd🤣
Got the tank tops and the Richardson hat! Going out in style!
Man does that truck bring back memories of my childhood with my dad and his! Good luck selling it, if I was closer I'd come take it off your hands!
That truck seems to run remarkably well and it's going to a good home
I just joined the low buck club too. Talk about a lot of bang for my buck!!
Glad you got it sold so quick that's cool. Those were really nicely styled. Thanks for another awesome video.
JD seems to be learning the way of the wrench. Cool!😎
Excellent job Dalton and JD,
I really enjoy seeing those old classics come back to life
Looking forward to your next adventure
Screw a couple of pieces of wood horizontally in bed to stop the rattling,Great Stuff Dalton&JD👍🏻

Hey Dalton, I find myself just hitting the like button instantly before the video even starts. 💯
I’m too broke to own another old vehicle, but I sure enjoy watching Dalton have fun with them !
Those bed strips sound like sleigh bells. Good job JD for hanging in there! You are going to be a good mechanic too.
