It's funny, they just dropped a few TH-camrs and boom, they pop back up. Ag1 is full of sugar and soy. They are so bad for u. It's why I stop using them.
@@mattg7952 My dude, you're talking to a comment stealing bot. If you see a hot chick with a number/letter combo after the name, that's a bot and they're not hard to spot.
You need to do right by that truck and do some repairs and make her look nice and shiny. And she deserves it. Fix her up. Make it happy, and then you will be happy. And then everybody's gonna want it so you could sell it for lots of money.
Dude, i have almost the same truck!!! Mine is white also. I went to NC to buy mine a few years ago and tried driving it home with my car on the back. Aftet a few days of fixing it on the side of the road, I had made it to St. Augustine. At that point, I called a tow truck. Mine had sat for years also. After a few years and a lot of work, mine is in really good shape now! I love that truck. Mine is also a 3+3, 454, 4 speed (w/granny), and has a hodges bed. And like you, I was searching for a 4 door, square body, big block truck for a few years. Anyway, thanks for the video! I was reliving my trip back while watching your adventure.
That deserves a full restoration. Leaving it patina is just a lazy way to call something finished. Custom build that motor and throw the blower on it and change the belt driven AC over to an electric driven AC or change it over to an LS/LT or a diesel. Those things even look awesome and a bit more comfortable with a modern interior swap.
As a broke college kid, I bought an 03 LB7 in Manhattan, KS. Gauge was off and ran out of fuel at 1am on the way back to St.Louis. 3-4 mile walk to the next exit. Worst night of my life at the time but great memories doing dumb truck stuff with my friends.
I dont even ask questions like "does it run well?" Or "will it get me home?" When buying stuff used. Most people don't know their vehicles. Those that do, often tell you lies because nobody gaf. A nice couple like this might tell you everything is fine because theyre unaware of hidden problems. Other people lie about everything just to get your money. Most people either don't know or won't tell you the truth, so I just base my decisions off what I can see. Play it safe & assume the worst, while paying accordingly.
I had a problem with the ignition switch, mounted to the back of the steering column behind the dashboard. The rod from the cylinder wasn’t moving the switch far enough. So I had to adjust the switch on the back of the column.
I love the chemistry between you and Eason. The channel is great, content is great, but you guys make it all come together in a perfect package. Keep it coming 😁
I would add a headache rack.. Just in case it happens.. Maybe even over load bags.. I forgot it’s a must add some cool lights with an air compressor.. Now that would be a rig….
I've also replaced like 10 of those tilt column ignition switch "combs" That pot metal piece is a pretty consistent breakage, it's not that easy, but better than working on a 14 Chevy Sonic.
Rory that has the channel trail matter offroad channel has a badass square body big block blower I'd say it's a must do , and I'd def ryno liner that inside back bed
Before you change the starter; don't forget to check the neutral safety switch. Try starting it in neutral (or give it a good hard shift into park) when it won't crank over. I wouldn't be surprised if it's going out on you.
I love the old ramp trucks we used to have a couple of them we hauled dirt late models to the track before all the trailers took over . I seen that truck in Jacksonville many times
lol was gonna say the same thing lol says it has a 1/4 tank lol probly has had a 1/4 tank for years as years lol my square body had a 1/4 tank to when I sold it lol told buyer she may have a 1/4 tank , may have a full tank , but I’d put alittle fuel in it asap just to make sure 😂
Ok boys, 101 in crew cab Chevy ownership, is ,my 454 crew cab stranded me a ton of time being out of gas,you can’t leave home with both tanks filled to the brim, 7 miles to the gallon,, or less, lol ,BigAl California, and useing the AC you will get 6 miles to the gallon , lettttts goooo brothers, lol better keep a 5 gallon spare gas in the bed, p.s. you will learn, ,BigAl California thanks
as much as I love the old working mans crew cab I would put a normal cab on it and build a sleeper box on the back. having driven across country to pick up cars I always wished I had put a sleeper box on my truck but I never found a rig as perfect for it as that one is .
I remember those years back that the starter is in close proximity to the exhaust manifold and would overheat. Knew a guy who would pour his water cooler on it after it was hot and did the same thing - it would start! A fix is a sheet metal heat shield for the starter
I 454 swapped a 71 c10 years ago and it heat soaked the starter on the 5 mile drive home. Same thing a water bottle with the sippy lid to cool off the starter and she’d fire off again 😂
BEST Time Lapse! That was Mad! Never seen one in traffic like that... Also Boss man throwing down some knowledge, showing apprentice J.H what's up son 😂
29:56 To me it looks like that white Megatruck is more than the driver can handle. 47:27 Throw an overdrive(unit or transmission) on it and the gas and wear/tear it saves will pay for itself.
Ol Eason and JH vs ol cleeterson and Mcnutt square body tow rig challenge??tow your race rigs to the track few towns over race the race rigs load up haul ass back to town see who makes it without issues most def!!
Ignition coils are famous for goin bad when they get hit on the old Sqaure bodies . I would always have issues till I figured out what it was back in High School 😝👌. I saw a 4x4 ramp truck about 15 yrs ago . First one over ever seen. Wish I had tried to purchase it . Never saw it again .
Y’all remember that video of the tow trucks ramming each other in Chicago or wherever over a tow? Well, get your popcorn ready, cause Cleet and Squirrel towing and the who and who wreckers are gonna make that look like Sunday school 😆
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Looks like you have a great truck 👍 of course don't trust the gas gauge and it's typical for the starter to be heat soaked with a big block. You just need a heat shield. I think you can give Cleetus and Squirrel a run for their money in the towing business 😂 you need to go repo something off their property real soon 😂 anyway I only recently subscribed and think you got a great channel, keep up the awesome work and the cool videos ✌️🇺🇲
i know its hard but some of them older folk are built on trust man I don't blame ya for trusting them. I would too hearing they had a garage full of hotrods! They probably know there stuff!
That’s an R30 series truck. In 88 the old body style heavy duty trucks changed to the R/V series (formerly C/K) where R was the 2wd, and V was the 4wd.
Get a ls from your boy cleet and a procharger. Keep the ac make more power and be more reliable than the old big block. Keep the big big block rebuild it and put it in something else
Yea you could get most all squares till 91 if you asked. They had so much overstock they had to. Still scrapped 100s of tons of parts , the pictures are crazy if you can find them on the innerweb.
As cool as a blower looks if you’re planning on really using it the best thing to do would be to diesel swap it. Plus you’re a diesel shop so it kinda needs to be a diesel. 🙃
All I can say is I hope you guys put front rear and side blind spot cameras on the GMC, my neighbor had a brand new Silverado jacked up like that and ran over an old lady at a crosswalk, he couldn't see her, rattled him so much he sold the truck a month later.
You should Cummins swap it and put a giant sticker of your channel name on the side and drag race it against another Cummins swapped vehicle. Something like a Cummins swapped Galxie or something. It’d be super original content no one’s ever done on TH-cam
Right now, AG1 is offering a surprise, bonus limited edition gift on top of the Welcome Kit when you first subscribe drinkag1.com/jhdiesel
Thank you AG-1
I would go FULL JH rap and logo's on it.... it will be a massive advertisement on wheels and a great business investment
It's funny, they just dropped a few TH-camrs and boom, they pop back up. Ag1 is full of sugar and soy. They are so bad for u. It's why I stop using them.
You are better off eating an apple and a glass of water than drinking AG1. Scam product.
JH if you ate going to text and drive and make calls and stuff it might be a good idea to cut it out of the vid
Put an electric air conditioner compressor in it and do the blower! Converted to my current setup, which runs your current lines and works flawlessly!
Which brand you use? I’ve been looking into them for my old f350 crew cab
@@mattg7952 My dude, you're talking to a comment stealing bot. If you see a hot chick with a number/letter combo after the name, that's a bot and they're not hard to spot.
Cleet and Squirrel are done! I can't wait to see you guys tow some of their stuff!
22:22 time to call cleet and squarl 1800 yur done
They might be needing Cleet and Squirrel if their truck keeps breaking down
Can’t wait to see them tow cleets brand new race car
Jh McFarland 🙄
This gives me Roadkill vibes lol buying an ole ramptruck then getting stranded immediately 🤣
100%
@ especially on a day like today when they announced the end of the show 😭💔
Will never be as good as roadkill though
😂
R.I.P. Roadkill
Do the blower!!!! And race cleet and squirrel in their flatbed. It would be so sick!
You need to do right by that truck and do some repairs and make her look nice and shiny. And she deserves it. Fix her up. Make it happy, and then you will be happy. And then everybody's gonna want it so you could sell it for lots of money.

My thoughts exactly

That's where cleetus bought the limo lol at the lot beside there
Smoothest ramp truck roadtrip I’ve seen. Finnegan would be jealous.

Giving cleet and squirrel some big competition
Chevy doing what it does best, letting everybody down.
Ford or dodge would not have made it off the lot .
Love it that SHE loves it. Got a good one there JH. The fact that she asked if you thought she could drive it says it all!!!!!
I love the chemistry between you and Eason. The channel is great, content is great, but you guys make it all come together in a perfect package. Keep it coming 😁
I would add a headache rack.. Just in case it happens.. Maybe even over load bags.. I forgot it’s a must add some cool lights with an air compressor.. Now that would be a rig….
Those trucks are notorious for burning up the purple wire in the steering column which is why you see them with push to start usually
I've also replaced like 10 of those tilt column ignition switch "combs"
That pot metal piece is a pretty consistent breakage, it's not that easy, but better than working on a 14 Chevy Sonic.
@ryurc3033 yep you know a little something about those to huh lol
‘One of the best Drivers’ …. Shows all the crashes 😂😂😂😂
Let's go JH respect to you and Justin watching from England keep living your best life's one hell of a team and one hell of a wheel man
Do the blower and toss an electric ac compressor in it!!! Did that conversion to my current rig works great and runs ur current lines!
Please team up with finnegan and freiburger from roadkill, since it just got canceled. Help them out and have a badass ramp truck competition!! 💪🏼
they got canceled, they didnt take their money,they are still rich,relax
Someone’s jealous 😂
I was saying help them because their channels don’t have much followers 😂
@@johndoe-jg2fcseriously? They both have more followers and have both been on TH-cam longer
Brother, Peg legging once said when you do a revive and drive you got to follow the 7 P's proper previous planning prevents piss poor performance 👌
Love seeing peg references
perhaps pretty perfectly
I would definitely put some kind of paint on the bed and the cab at least stop the rust from getting worse
I had a 1978 Chevy crew cab 454 automatic transmission, keep the 5 gallon spare gas in the bed, lol it will strand you , BigAl California thanks
hey when squarebodys wont crank like that, you do the key switch and wiggle the shifter at the same time, i was screaming at my screen lol
38:30 funniest part, Idk words are tough sometimes Lol
nah 44:30, When Eason goes in on the winch instead of out. Justin complaining...
Rory that has the channel trail matter offroad channel has a badass square body big block blower I'd say it's a must do , and I'd def ryno liner that inside back bed
Look into a serpentine belt drive to keep the A/C with the blower 😮
Before you change the starter; don't forget to check the neutral safety switch. Try starting it in neutral (or give it a good hard shift into park) when it won't crank over. I wouldn't be surprised if it's going out on you.
I have the perfect name for the Tow Company. "Tows and Hoes"
No patina, full restore and repaint.
Definitely gonna put the blower setup on it and dump the guts thru the oil pan. I see it happening. 😂😂
I love the old ramp trucks we used to have a couple of them we hauled dirt late models to the track before all the trailers took over . I seen that truck in Jacksonville many times
The sarcasm is real with these two.. I don’t see a single thing that could go wrong. 😂
I miss my 88 crew cab. Thing drove so damn nice. I love the ramp truck
JH, Eason, and Danielle, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace 🤘
Cool to have your lady enjoying your projects!
Justin brotha you broke rule numero uno of a square body dont ever trust that fuel gauge. 😂😂😂
lol was gonna say the same thing lol says it has a 1/4 tank lol probly has had a 1/4 tank for years as years lol my square body had a 1/4 tank to when I sold it lol told buyer she may have a 1/4 tank , may have a full tank , but I’d put alittle fuel in it asap just to make sure 😂
Mine always had at least a 1/4 tank worth of bounce to the needle.
Keep the ac and do rear mounted turbos

Check the frame extension and replace the winch line, then go through the driveline😊
Great truckin' trip, mans! Woo! I love the Roadkill trip in the ol' Finnegan Flyer, heh heh!

Perfect! Thanks for the great content brother 😂
6:37 I'm big time jealous I've been wanting a crew cab ramp truck.. I'd prefer a bump side but I'd settle for a square body...
Follow along the lines of the RoadKill ramp truck over on Finnegans Garage channel.
Cummins swap it and beef up the weak spots in the frame design.
Lt4/10 speed for this rig.
Plz and thanks.
Cummins wouldn't be a bad idea either.
helper bags in the rear might be a smart idea too lolol.

Time to go repo Cleet and Squirrel’s tow trucks.
Run a ford starter relay to the starter. Fixes chevy hot soak problems
Kyle and Justin are good people
555-YERDONE could give you a tow home heard they are the best in Florida 😂🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 haha good looking rig tho.
I believe Derek had 2 ramp trucks at one point….

29:29 bro has no chill. Always on the gas no breaks
28:06 jh stayed on the phone when traffic was moving but as soon as it stopped he got off 😂 jus thought it was funny
Should put bed liner on the bed. Much more traction and would look good
And I'm loving the giveaways man that one you have now is awesome beautiful truck
That truck is badass, cannot wait to see some content on it
Check the wires in the column where it tilts. That's a cool old truck.
Your Ad acting skills are A1 🎉
Let go guys! Roadkill kinda vibes I dig it
Been looking for one of these too! Awesome find
That aint no 88 if it has fuel injection. It’s an 87. The last year of the square body trucks was 87. The Blazer and suburbans went to 91.
One ton trucks also til 91
Yea you could get most all squares till 91 if you asked. They had so much overstock they had to. Still scrapped 100s of tons of parts , the pictures are crazy if you can find them on the innerweb.
