- It's been a long road to get our 1950 Chevy pickup back on the... road. But the time has finally come, friends! While the wood still hasn't arrived for the bed, Davin can't resist taking our project for a spin around the block. And after installing the newly covered seat, fiddling with the hood, and making a few adjustments to the clutch, that's exactly what he does. Be sure to hang around to the end of the video for a little surprise!

Rescuing these bits of history is one of the greatest thing man can do with his time. The job you folks did on the motor is fantastic.
Wow! You must have been proud. That is an amazing feeling to get an old truck to run again. Congratulations. i know this is an old series but it still felt good to see you get it going. I have a 1963 Lincoln Continental. It took me years to get it going but I can finally drive it now.
this is my favorite truck build on youtube. Would like to see more of this .
Trucks!! Work is what they are for! Not luxury, not status symbols, just plain old work, what Americans have forgotten!!
Sweet old truck! The motor was beautiful when you got done. I'm 43, I remember my dad had 50s chevy similar to that when I was about 5or6 years old. So about 1985-1986, it was my grandfather's old truck. It was an inline 6, and I remember dad saying it was geared so low, it would pull very good. I reme5him and my uncle taking it to my uncles garage and painting it a candy red.
I can't get the image of the guy HAMMERING the cylinder sleeves into the block out of my head. That was a classic 'don't do this' move that no serious engine builder would ever do. Every engine shop I ever encountered used differential hot/cold and a large precision press for sleeves. The rest of this build has been great fun! So nice to see it moving on its own.
I'm close to 70. When I was a kid Farm country was full of these old trucks! Both stored and running!
Great to see you "resurrect" this old girl. BRAVO!
For a few years my Dad regularly drove a 1937 Chevy pickup to work.
Absolutely love your truck. Wish I had mine back. 1950 Chevrolet three-quarter ton. Purchased in 1973. Installed a new short block and drove it everywhere. Drove it to Seattle from Portland on interstate five at 50 miles an hour. It got 13 miles per gallon loaded with a cord of firewood, 13 miles unloaded, 13 miles in town, and 13 miles on the open highway. In 18 years it only broke down once and that was when the coil went bad. Not the trucks fault. Thank you for bringing yours back to life.
Love those old trucks my dad had one for many years
My grandpa had a 54 chevy pickup when he worked at the O'Conner Ranch down here in Texas. One day I wish I can give him one just like the one he had 🙂
I actually created an account so I could comment on this venture.
You guys are doing the right stuff and I am truly grateful. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the road in town. Congratulations!
I hope to have a similar story to my Great Grandpa's 51' Mercury coup that lived it's life in the same area. Last registered in 77'. Moved to one garage to the other on it's own power in 91' in Buckley on Davis Rd. Will drive it by when it's driving.

Thanks for watching, Jon!
That's the truck I learned to drive in....I was 6-7 years old and we used to feed bales to the cows with it.
Give that man a raise!
Better than ANY show queen truck at a Meekum auction. You given this truck a new start in life. A credit to all involved. Thanks for sharing this trucks new journey with us. 🤙🤙🤙
Oh... I do love these trucks!!!!
i accepted your challenge of getting into shop on old project. 1977 v-6 231 buick which sat for 24 years. i drove it out of shop last week. interior is all that is left to do. thanks for motovation. no drag racing so i had to work on something.
Congrats Davin! Those AD Chevy pickups were always my favorite and it makes me happy to see this one back on the road again. I had the '54 series 1 in the same green color. Every time I took it out I'd get a lot of thumbs up and guys who would want to look it over and talk about it. I had to sell it last year because we were moving, but thankfully a good friend who is a real gearhead bought it and made it even better than when I had it. The good thing is that when he bought it, he gave me "visitation rights".
Nice job restoring and keeping her alive but I do think it's funny how tight it is inside these old vehicles
Something satisfying about seeing such an old vehicle running again. Very cool.
I wouldn’t change a thing the way you have it now thanks for sharing
What a great posemobile. Great engine work.
As you say got it working and looking very cool doing it !!
Bad ass man.. great build.. doesn't need to be restored, love it just the way it is.. the way a truck should be.. I got a 69 dodge Sweptline shortbed.. used to be and Air force truck.. I'm going to go the same direction you did.. thanks for the inspriration.. keep up the great work.. keep American work trucks running!! 👍
Part of the ship, part of the crew.
the truck is so happy now
Sweet old truck! The motor was beautiful when you got done. I'm 43, I remember my dad had 50s chevy similar to that when I was about 5or6 years old. So about 1985-1986, it was my grandfather's old truck. It was an inline 6, and I remember dad saying it was geared so low, it would pull very good. I remeber him and my uncle taking it to my uncles garage and painting it a candy red.
It's beautiful to see this truck being brought back to life. The engine sound typical of its time. It gives the chills to think about owning one like it!
What a sweetie . Beautiful job . Looks like she is ready to serve another lifetime or two
I'm buying a 50 chev pickup stored for a while, thanks for the great information. So very cool, helped me to make up my mind!!!
This is a beautiful build. Now for that bed it would be awesome to find some old barn wood and give it new life to go along with the truck.
Looks good glad to see it on the road again
In 1973 I traded a days labor for a fairly trashed '53 5 window 3600 pickup, so much like this one it's scary. I eventually got it running and drove it for year or so. Funny, it was only a 20 year old truck back then but it was every bit as trashed as this one. I had access to a friend's garage with beadblaster and hot tank and people who actually knew about rebuilding an engine (which I didn't) so it was a great learning experience although I did a very lackluster job having almost no money to buy parts. Then I sold it and the engine blew up only a few weeks later, so I threaded the needle on that one.
Nice full metal old car... 🤩🤩🤩
Nothing freshens up an old truck like a nice seat
These guys are genesis!
Hiya Davin- I can sense the genuine excitement here just by the look on your face in the video! Following this resurrection reminds me of finding an old late 30s GMC flatbed in the forest as a kid in the mid 90s. Hopping on our bikes and riding out there to play around on it became a regular pastime until we decided that we were going to fix it up... that involved emptying out dad's toolbox into our backpacks and lugging it out there into the forested wilderness. Today I realize that it wasn't that great of a distance but back then it sure did! Most of our fixing up was really just a lot of taking apart and tinkering; seeing that old manifold mounted horn really sets that memory in mind for me. Anyway, good times, and looking forward to more great videos.
Amazing, it's so emotional to see it back on the road, all the hard work pay's off & seeing it running again puts smiles on everybody's face😉
Great work Davin👍
Stay Safe❤
I absolutely love these trucks from late 40's-1960 unfortunately it's one of those deals where I see it,I like the way it looks and sounds but when I get in it I feel like a need a port-a-power to get my butt back out of it,72-79 Ford's are my treat I got quite a few I use around here from f100-f350 and I fit comfortable in them, I Believe it was a 55 Chevy p/u I got my knees lodged in the thing and they locked up,lol ... That engine sounds great guys👌👍 fantastic job on a sexy ol truck
Good job been a long old road sounds great 👍👍
Thank you for keeping old girl as original as possible absolutely nailed it !!
Love it. Now I want to see the dash lights, directionals, heater, defogger, working.
That's a beautiful truck guys, Davin you are a true master mechanic, keep it up guys!
That is what you call a labor of love, beautiful job😁
How totally cool is that!! Next up - wood slats for the rear deck, and an around-the-town road test. Can't wait.
Sweet indeed. Congrats.
I’ve watched every episode of this build...super cool production!
My one and only critique....needs the rusty old wheels
Yes . Those white wheels look terrible
I agree! At least spray bomb them flat black. They belong on a utility trailer, out of place on this truck to me.
flyonbyya It had the old split rims and some of the hubcaps when it was dug out. Maybe they were too far gone, or too much of a pain for the benefit, but I was kind of hoping to see them back on.
Maybe they are yet to be cleaned up
@@88SC that and they're fucking dangerous if not worked in properly
Beautiful to see an old workhorse doing it's thing once again.
That's the best feeling, driving it for the first time in how long since it last ran! I did that when I got my 40 Ford pickup running again, had no charging system, no foundation brakes, and a 5 gallon nurse tank on the passenger side floorboard pulling fuel right thru the firewall feeding the flathead. Used the e brake and downshifting to slow her down, not a lot of traffic where I am, what a blast! My pickup bed has no floor in it either.
Those steel look very solid... 👍🏾
Ear-to-ear grin! What a beauty! Ordinarily I'm a custom paint fan ... but this one, I think I'd leave alone in her original "rat" condition.
That's cool as hell brother good job !!
Love to see this ol girl on the road again! Excellent job, love your channel!
This project brought back memories of riding in my Grandfathers old Chevrolet pickup. Same body style with the starter button on the floor.
It's impressive to see people have that much skill, knowledge and abilities.
Great job !
Blessings.
That was awesome, I think you did just enough to make it great again, fresh motor, new radiator, no gas leaks and a solid suspension with fresh brakes, even fixed the lights, what more does a guy need. Can't wait to see it with the bed floor in, great job
Totally frigging awesome job. So pleasing to see the 'ol girl' coming out of retirement & back to work.
Too cool!! Probably runs better than brand new.
This is brilliant, to have seen it on barn find hunters buried to its axles to now see it driving on the road, best series !
It was great to see the old truck on the road again. Great job.
I'm so glad you kept the original engine.
Dear Davin,
I really enjoyed the experience of following your project and especially seeing it come back to life! Still other stories like this,👍👍
Another great video
Loved watching this project! The truck turned out fantastic. Love the look
I love old Chevy!
i love that truck! here in Argentin, and sudamerica in general, it's a lot more difficult to get the parts so we do things the same way you did it with most of the old cars, and not that old, jaja.
Hola!!
Yo te consigo piezas aca en USA.
Call necesitas???
This has been very interesting to watch this progression. Thank you for sharing everyone. 🇨🇦😎
Very cool! New life for an old truck.
Cool Beans!!!
I Love this truck!
Replace the Chevy logo with GMC and that's identical to my first vehicle. Appreciate the excellent craftsmanship of these Gentlemen.
The truck is awesome, great job on this build, looking forward to seeing the bed finished.
That’s the best parting starting and first drive
Can’t stop smiling
Well done guys
Congrats Davin. One Hell of a job!
You guys are amazing! Outstanding job! God has blessed you with the talent, skill and ability to bring things back to life. Beautiful.
That was a great moment to witness. Been following since it was drug out of the composting leaves. Now, mechanically speaking, it’s the proverbial Brick Hitshouse!
Looks good, brings back memories went on a 600 mile trip in the back of one, my Dad and his friend in front and my sister and I in back sitting on pillows and hay with a blanket to cover us, this was in the early 50's lucky for my sis and I it did not rain.
Would love to see a video on fitting and adjusting that hood. TH-cam doesn’t have much to offer to get this done.
eu estou com dificuldades tambem
Ditto
Wow that's a real smooth running eng... So quiet!!!
Congratulations nice work!.
This is the best build. For a time I was so into perfect deuce coupes, but they became a dime a dozen in fiberglass with the ubiquitous 350/350 combo. It became boring. Then there were rat rods and then they became crazy. THIS is a real build that I love the best. Thx guys.
Greats from Northern Germany. I love the American car culture ❤️
Wow! Absolutely amazing! What a journey. Makes me so happy to see this truck out and about. One for the ages. Congratulations!
Davin, I had to kinda chuckle when when you sat in the truck after installing the seat.
Couple years back I found an old International pickup locally. Very decent project condition, price reasonable, and I favor the oddball marques.
Climbed all over and underneath, all looking pretty good. Then I sat in it.... Or rather, TRIED to sit in it!
I go 6'5" and about 235 lbs., and I'm sittin' there with the steering wheel jammed into my chest, legs all splayed out and looking at some serious contortions to reach any of the pedals.
All I could think was "Damn, I don't remember these being this tiny!"
Have you found an old truck that does have room? I'm wondering which ones favour a taller guy.
Total dream job.... Way to go Davin bruh !
Congratulations. You are one talented guy and it is great to see the old Chevy rolling again. Hopefully we can see the Buick with its refurbished engine on its way to completion.
I got such a kick out of this project! Watched it all the way from when you pulled it out of the field! Great work, great project!
Another one back on the road. Thank you Davin!
I wish I was 1/10 the mechanic that Davin is. I am in awe of your talents good sir!
Great teaser
Great work .I'm starting on my project 1951 chevy 3100.
This video become Most searching in instagram, great job davin
Nice Pick Up great job!
I've loved following this project
I think once you get the little things worked out as on any project like this and the wood bed installed it'll be a sweet ride in anyone's book!
Congrats, great work. I love it.
Don’t hurt your back brother! Get a helper with awkward stuff like that seat. I would love to have a truck like that. 👍
This is my favorite series you've ever done
Finally this truck is back on the road. Awesome job on this project 👏👏👏
Thanks for posting and sharing! Glad you all got it back running.
Excellent work Davin and the crew !!
