ABANDONED Chevy WILL IT RUN After 30 Years? - (bare engine!)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- This 1965 Chevrolet C10 has been off the road since 1989, and been stripped down quite a bit. And of course, I bought it without seeing it. Let's see if I can get it running in one night and do something with it. Oh, and skeeters.

Great video, Again! You're really nailing down that older "Roadkill" vibe, without any of the corporate sponsorship feeling.
Best one yet.
Thank you appreciate that
@@ViceGripGarage Better than RED GREEN TOO but no duct tape or fires, boo hoo!!!! was there any work done prior to your arrival and those tires/rimes look fairly recent ?
That and he is actually mechanically inclined.
What is roadkill?
Who's back re-watching in 2024
Me, That's who.
Who do I Trust?
ME!!!
All I got in This world is my b^lls & My word, and I don't break 'em for no one.
Just started watching VGG this spring and I can't get enough of the show!!
@vicegripgarage where’s the 65 at?? Need a update vid on her
Me too. Can see how much he has changed and at the same time how much is the same.
Hubcap hills
My shop teacher recommended you cause I told him I wanna be able to walk up to any truck and get it going and you are absolutely insane I'd love to learn how you do what you do.
That is awesome!
That s the spirit kiddo!
Try...try....try.....get pissed off.....keep trying.
Keep It Simple Silly. That's the way. On cars without emissions crap you need three things. As long you have those, it'll run.
@@vinster8884 Whats the third after coldsnacks and vicegrips?
I love how you wrench on a rusty hulk that any sane person would have turned into a toaster. Your channel is awsome. Don't change a thing, and you will have a fan for life.
He is definitely awesome and makes me smile while learning.
My Son asked me last night
"What you watching Dad"?
I responded...
"Watchin a Guy make quality Entertainment Son, Quality Entertainment"
Thank You Sir
No thank you, and your boy! Appreciate you watching
So true, so true!!🔧😎🔧😎
This is my favorite channel. I’ve been struggling with little life threatening health issues. The simple humor and watching these vehicles start up for their first time is so satisfying.
I am Praying for You. JESUS LOVES YOU!!!
Just checked my digital pocket tv, got me this little notice, told the kids hands off my phone. Dads program is on! Turned out to good night,, thanks!! Keepem coimin!
haha... thanks for watching Andrew
With the reaction to the tools being on top of the barrel the truck knocked over, I believe you've completely captured everything that people outside of the midwest can't understand about people from the midwest. This one made my favorite list.
Haha 🤣👍
Vice grip garage logic: “it’s got oil pressure so I’m just gonna bleep bloop it about 500 miles to the south and call it a day”
And stop for a cold "snack"
Turned on the subtitles and it says “music” when the truck fires.
Yep.
At 24:22 it might run a little better with all the sparkalater wires snipped into the old cap lol, just givin a guy a hard time while enjoying some cold snacks, keep up the great work!
Guy get's in a hurry sometimes and just can't know
I caught that as well!
@@ViceGripGarage when that hood popped i said no flippin way,,good job luv them ol chevys
Old school Chevy. I had two of those.. 292 version and a 250 version. They just never quit.. a little oil, and some gas... they freaking run. 30 years sitting, rolls up the ramp on its own. Holy cow.
Like a rock! 😲😲
That's why Fords are made aluminum now because they sre so much lighter to push.
She’s as rough as a stucco bathtub but I’ve always had a soft spot for straight 6 3-spd vehicles.
haha... yeah, same here
@@ViceGripGarage might be a custom cab option,
Goyim Proud that’s for sure....that’s for damn sure!
i have a soft spot for lemons in general lol
I had a 79 stepside with a 3 speed on column... Wish i kept it. But i did just buy a 79 c10 long bed and have 2 k5s i do alot of work on in my channel
I’ve only just found Vice Grip Garage this week.. I’ve watched about 50 videos now.. lol I can’t get enough.. I just love it.
Man, those straight sixes are awesome! never die! and sounds awesome when you have a more straight downpipe exhaust...
Man I lost it when you were loading it on the trailer, backed into the barrel and then almost fell out of the cab lmao
His voice makes me want to eat pancakes with maple syrup while I’m watching a moose clean the ice with the Zamboni
He’s so dry in humor it just works lol. It’s not even forced either you can tell that’s really him haha. Right in brother.
Bet when you fired up,the circle track racers stopped and said listen to that old Chevy 6 running
I think you're right, Red flagged the track
It's amazing how much room is under the hood. Easy to work on for sure. I think I will get me an old truck tired of the sensors and electronic BS.
What a success with what you were working with. Ace mechanic! People need to step up and give a thumbs up for these older vijayos!!!
That old blue C 10 sounded like Christine running when she came back into the garage on fire in the movie. 😂
hahaha
I laughed so hard when he opened the door and there's no seats.
Bought a cuda with same situation.did the right thing and used the spare tire for the seat. got pulled over and the cop was impressed that I had a steering wheel. LMAO all the way home!
One of my fondest childhood memories is riding home with dad in a beater 56 Chevy sitting on milk crates.
@@randybettis76 a guy just needs something to sit on to reach the steering wheel
Quite frankly, you are one hell of an automobile mechanic. I simply love this TH-cam channel. Its addictive.
Assuming your bride is running the camera, I liked her giggle when you got back inside the truck after a damage control assessment-ha ha!
I was thinking, there is no way my wife would be on board with that whole situation.
haha
Yeah, she's a keeper
Yeah, funny how women (not all, but most) view things differently.
LoL .. my wife would have said B.S if your going to bring that p.o.s home...she doesn't see the diamond's in the ruff.
The c10 we have in our family was a 1964 sidestep variant with a long-bed used on the farm. My dad got it for the first time in the 90's and rebuilt it's engine from scratch. Right now it is named Lazarus because it has been restored all over it over 3 times and the most recent was about 3-4 years ago.
Reminds me of the old song "Classified" by C.W. McCall.
Dog's name is Frank
I have the vinyl..i love CW ..wolfcreek pass is my fave..
Well I was goin’ through the want ads........
"Fourteen east on County 12, turn right on the one-lane gravel road, you can park in the yard, beware of the dog, wipe your feet off, knock three times, and bring your billfold."
George Merusi $28.15 you got a deal I’ll go get the title and a can full of gas
Wow I can’t believe someone walked away from and deserted this abandon find.good on you for for attempting to revitalize
Awesome, but without a doubt this one was pissing you off after a bit. When you were loading it on the trailer there was a split second you hoped it fell off and lit on fire lmao
Celebrating every runner!!! I grew up within earshot of Minnesota Dragways so that raceway sound is similar and familiar... memories from so many summers long ago. Makes a feller pine a bit.
😂 chops fuel line with a machete then takes a swing of fuel ⛽️ lmfao
Doin my thing!
Had a mouth full of gas once. I’ll never do that again.
9:13 is the first and only time I've ever heard this man curse. Kind of amazing since that's all I can manage when I work on my own rigs.
We had a truck just like this when i was a teenager, think it had a cracked block and only 1st gear but we couldnt kill it, just kept on going.
my neighbor had one that burnt a valve. He took the head off to take the valve out and slapped it back together missing one entirely. ... ironically, that was 1989. Things changed so fast. I remember the generation that taught me.. bitching about the brand new electronic TBI in the trucks. If some of them could see them still running 30 years later.. I wonder what they'd say.
Dang thats awesome
Man I love this channel.
Thanks Christopher
I don’t remember how I came across this channel but I love it I listen to it while I’m working
A feller told me awhile back that a skeeter landed at the airport in Minneapolis/St, Paul and they pumped 30,000 gallons of jet fuel into it before they noticed it was a skeeter.
As a Manitoban I appreciate this comment
That's been known to happen.
15- Too young
36- Too old
24- Just right
that outta work
Works for any in line cummins also
That's how we learned it in high school auto mechanics! Lol
Works for bmws to lol
65 Chevy 3/4 ton has been sitting for a few years on the family property. My grandson and I will get it running for sure!
Thanks Derek for the inspiration!
Your an amazing mechanic. Love watching your videos. I don’t think there’s anything you can’t get running
I would hate to pay you flat rate. You are one of the fastest working mechanics I have ever seen!
Going back and watching some of your older videos. Jessica’s laugh in this one put a smile on a fellas’ face. She should write a book of all she’s seen! Good stuff as always!! Cheers, Mark.
Going back and watching some of the older ones that I somehow missed while I wait for the newest VGG upload. Derek never fails to entertain while showing us what a mechanical genius he is! I especially like how he tickled the terminal onto the battery post!
Did I hear sand falling down the carb every time you hit the linkage? LOL
Most likely
I can't help but think what a hell of auto shop instructor you would make. Your just so much fun to listen to. Much better than my grandfather who ( I sill admire ) use to say other people can do it just figure it out.
I enjoy your channel, you take old classics and get them running where they are sitting then you make them complete great work
I can barely fix a bicycle but when someone gave me a Nova with a straight 6 and a blown head gasket even I could handle it with simple tools and a Chilton's manual. Brings back good memories. 1-5-3-6-2-4
coldwar motors did a cold start with a chevy marine farm truck, the only vehichle that started in -26c northern alberta pre winter.
Nice project truck, I'd like to pick up an early 60's GM pick-up!
Thanks Rich
my grandpa had a Chevy Comanche with the 6 and a flat bed and duel wheels but i never saw it run. thats what made me watch this.
19:32 lol happened to me more times than I care to remember, couldn't be healthy. but someone has to do it lol
darned straight
Losing a little weight, looking good. Love your videos. Your not too far from where i live. You have inspired us to buy an old rig and work on it. My son, grandson, and I are going to rebuild a 71 F250. We are not mechanics and will learn as we go.. Thank you for your videos.
I love this channel because I spent many of days and nights doing this same thing with my dad the old chevys will always crank back up
Your way with words has me laughing. You need this Chanel on TV.
NOOOO!!!!
Producers would ruin it.
I can’t agree enough! His vernacular is spectacular
I agree. Producers would ruin it!
As with so many others I enjoy your knowledge, dry humor, and perseverance. I got my 66c10 out of MT and have dug so much deeper then you did. Without some of these videos I don't think I would have had the confidence to do so.
Wow! That truck was a mess - engine compartment wise.
What a blessing that you had a parts truck nearby!
You’re a miracle worker to get that truck running from the way you found it in the short time you had!!!
Ram👍🏼
"Hear those 350's back there?"
No but I can hear the ten teeth your ratchet has. Good videos keep em up
Hey Derek , I just dug out a 1964 GMC big window swb fleet side that has been stored in a garage for 30 plus years! I hope to get it started so the rat apooatie removal can commence. Come down to Huntsville and check’er out! Thought you might want the content too.
Woooowwww you mentioned the skeeters and now I can here them as you lift the radiator in!!!!!
This is my favorite TH-cam channel !!!!!! You gotta love seeing these classics run again. Great job VGG.
I really enjoy watching a guy work on these old cars.. Keep it up
Gosh this reminds me of home. Working on a truck listening to those Saturday night stock cars in the background. Idk if that was north central speedwY in brainerd, but if so i love that place.
The sweetest background music of all the VGG videos!
I saw you messing with some wires in a lawsuit video, SO, I'll be back, thanks for the smiles Derek, and some lol's!!!
19:06 - where'd THAT come from? XD
Yes! I fucking love your sense of humor. Makes me feel at home.
Thank you
Can't help on it 🤷♂️
up she goes
I had a 65 Chevy C20 back in the day that I bought specifically to haul post and poll material on. I drove it from Spokane WA. up to Northern Idaho to cut, load and haul two huge loads to the post and poll mills and then I would drive it back to Spokane.
It was a 3/4 ton custom cab with a 327 4 barrel and four speed with 1st gear granny with some sort of posi that had a hugantious pumpkin in it that you couldn't hurt. It rode on coil spring suspension in the back with over loads bolted on to keep it off the rubber bumpers . It did not have shackles. I pd for stumpage by the ton so I had to take it over scales to weigh that truck. It was normal for that truck to be tipping the scales at just over 12,500 lbs. the truck weighed in at right around 4650 lbs. You do the math. nearly 4 tons on the back of a 3/4 ton pick up truck with 4 wheels total and a standard pick up box to load it onto. The guys that worked at the mill would just shake their heads in disbelief and ask me how many this time?!
It had power steering, power brakes, shiney aluminum non painted grill, chrome front bumper, factory tach, full gauges and wide back glass, and the am radio still worked great, the fuel tank behind the seat still had the original fancy cardboard cover and two saddle tanks. wood bed, all the trim going down the sides and a very beefy step bumper that got torn off by multiple stumps along with the two saddle tanks at some point I had to remove the wreckage to keep it rolling. Only had a few blow outs surprisingly.
It was white with a green stripe in between the side trim and the front seat had been covered since new so it was in very good condition and I put a new cover on it to keep with tradition.
If you gave it too much gas it would pop through the carb so you just had to take it a lil bit easy on it.
In the beginning I would load (30) 12 footers thinking that was heavy enough. In the end I was pulling wheelies out of the woods with 135 12 footers on it. I would have to build up some speed into the corners and hit the breaks for weight transfer to the front tires so it would steer.
I always felt bad about the abuse I gave the old girl but it's the only truck I had at the time until I traded her off for a 68 GMC flatbed with an 18 foot bed so I could "make lots more money" cutting and hauling 20 ft. hopp poles. Just a lot more work for the same money. should have stuck with post and poles and that old Chevy truck.
I liked that truck so much I bought a flat black 1962 (same year as me) GMC home made flat bed C10 that I picked up off of a show I worked on called Z-Nation. It was in the show but I didn't really have time to pay attention to what episodes.
I really enjoy watching your TH-cam channel on accounta it reminds me of me and my buddies that have had more than our fair share of that kind of self abuse in the past. Keep up the good work transforming yard art into living breathing junk again, Hours of entertainment.
I am here to tell ya that that was one TFT !!! Well that's my story and I'm stuck with it !!!

Im a big fan of straight six motors - had a 74? F100, a 75 Nova, and an 89 Mercedes 300 wagon with them and all three were just great, and the Nova and Merc got surprisingly good hwy mileage and good passing power when you needed it - I wish there were still using them...
"Bass ackwards" = "if you do it wrong first time you learn quicker"! 🙂
Great job I have done that many times myself now being older I like watching some one else do it
Hi Derek I am Jason from Pittsburgh area. I’ve learned lots of neat stuff from you about lighting whirlers and fuel make it happeners! Thanks man! I have a 96 Eddie boo boo Bronco I’m trying to save,
Love watching ole ones come back to life have a 62 c10 step side keep up the good work
Seems strange watching Derek using hand tools in his earlier videos, But he's still a great mechanic with a unique sense of humor..
I'm actually very impressed it ran that well after sitting for so long. That's when trucks were trucks not the pavement princess we drive today.
This is the first time I’m seeing it, but that’s why i love this show 👍👍👍👍👍✅
Looked like a guy was gettin' a little tense there for a minute. You done real good there son!
I have rain advise. Use a welding glove over wiper arm. Also. Phone on video cuts right thru that rain.
Amazing that you were able to use that truck to get its self out of there, just wow.
Lovin the racetrack sounds in the background
I could smell the fumes when she fired up.
Whew
Thanks for the memories
This is the third video I've watched so far. I love the random curveballs. I.E., randomly cutting fuel line with machete. Keep up the good work!
Never been happier watching someone fix up an old beater
**LOVE THE FUEL LINE CUTTER!!! = QUICK & EASY!!!**
I love the VGG Mechanics Button Up Short Sleeve Shirt I bought. Love your channel Derek.
Glad you two can work together:)
For a guy that pretends he’s lazy, you cranked out the work!
I love the sound those inline 6 engines from the 60s and 70s a nice depth to the noise
Dayam Derek, I admire your perseverance !!!
I love it as much as the next guy but all I can think about is bearings and sleeves on 30 year old oil
Lookin back from 2024 and seein the birth of ol Lawsuit... so awesome!
A man saves another(potentially) kick ass piece of Americana that would have surely been forgotten.
Sometimes I think you are a little nuts . But that is why I like to watch you. Love your channel ❤️
1:46 Surprised there was no comment on the batree relocation.
Nice sounds in de back from the race track...😊 a little hard to hear you some times... but that's fine!
Wow, that is almost identical to my first pickup, I bought it for $50 in 1980, even same rust... Mine had a 283 with a 2 bbl that I swapped to 4 bbl. and a manual. I scattered the clutch behind a church next to my High School. LOL
There is a truck with no engine or right front quarter panel in a junkyard about 7 miles from destination Daytona. It’s painted orange, so I got a 1 year old grandson, thinking of getting it for him. I can wait a couple years for free labor.
you are incredible!!! I would have been out of there just cuz of the skeeters!!!! great channel dude..
This girl had literally nothing on her but she wanted to run! Super cool video.
love watching your work nothing short of miraculas would it be too much trouble to log the music at the end its magic.
.
great video Derek you are an inspiration to many people, i support you 100%. and thank you for the great content I've been watching you for many years.
I sure am addicted to your channel now sir. I am now in stitches when I get to tell someone to fetch me a battree.
