- The truck has been sitting since I bought it 5 days ago. Now it is buried in snow. I have no idea how strong this battery is and if it will start in this cold weather. Time to test it out.
RIP to those RPMs that went back in time. Nice truck
beat me to it
I remember when I was in highschool in the early 80's we had one of these, with a 454 & a 4 speed.that thing would pull a loaded 5th wheel like no tomorrow.
And 6mpg lol
@@markme4 lol, yeah and that was down hill with a tail wind.

Sure diesels get better gas mileage but the savings are spent on higher maintenance and repair costs.
@@chrisj197438 not so much.depending on Wich diesel you choose, the early 2000's Ford's and dodge 2500 and up were very reliable and Duramax if you maintained them and will out tow any gas rig
@@davidcarder6364 maintenance is maintenance the diesels are always going to cost more.
This brings back memories to when my moms friend which was like a cool uncle to me which i called flier owned one of those,the dash was practically gone but i remember cruising through grand rapids as it made sure it was heard
that tach didn't know what the hell to do
XD
Reminds me of having to start my mom’s ‘68 Chevelle before going to school in the winter. Late 70s.
That’s awesome
I would have loved that cranking!
Ahh the ole gm ignition buzzer! Brings me back to my childhood! Cool truck though buddy! Would love to own an old Chevy truck one of these days.
Either Way, Cool Truck!! I Would Keep Her In The Warm Dry Garage, So That Rust Doesn't Get Any Worse!! Love Those 73'-91' Chevy Dually Trucks!!
Occurred to me at least some of the sputtering was from it sitting for 3 months, the fuel in the carburetor was starting to separate seemed to run pretty good once that had run through it, then again this was a cold start by anyone's standard great video
Was I the only one like: Dude your gonna flood it...
the truck was starving for fuel, thats why it kept cutting out
Sam Ortiz yea I agree very surprised he didn’t flood it
you gotta pump the gas on these old trucks that’s just how it works
Chevy lound chevy proud
I remember driving a truck similar to this for a road construction company I worked for, crew cab, 8 foot box, long as a city bus and even thirstier! (350 4bbl). It wasn't a dually. Somebody I knew who farmed had one, crewcab, dually with a 454. He had to quit lending it to people because the first instinct was to drive the snot out of it...After 30 plus years of fuel injection on just about everything, anything with a carb seems cold blooded...even on hot days!
It’s like my dad in the past days
You’re making me return back my
memories
Nice job man
But it’s harder for the new generation
Now
Ole Gurl sounds like a BEAST! NICE!!!! Team Heavy Chevy all day!
i hope you still have it. Love it . i will bring one to Poland. one of the cooles trucks ever
You got the love the old Carburetors in the winter time.
Fuck no hahhah
Give a good check list the truck itself is awesome the truck looks awesome just give it some looking after.
What the hell are you doing? Its always best to keep a constant throttle position rather than revving it!
*yes that is true after it is warm
With the engine being cold, and the engine being carbureted, engines like this one won't let you have a consistent throttle until the engine is warm. It doesn't matter if it is a Chevy or a Ford, all old carbureted engines act the same, especially in extreme cold weather. Not to mention the fact that all of the fluids would be very cold when you first start the motor, and more than likely this truck has the original fuel pump, so it is not electric.
how you gon tell another man how to do his truck my dude
Well for my 7.3 idi it was in the manual to pin it n hold it n stay that way till it starts warming up
Pretty rare to see a factory tach.
Maynard Reed usually are factory unless it just didn't come with one then you see the aftermarket ones, nd the key buzzer still works too
Pretty rare to see a full dash lol
Not back then .
My G20 doesn't have a tach, don't believe they ever came with one, wish it did, buzzer still works and annoys the shit out of you.
@@markme4 Actually, yeah it was rare. I've owned an 80, 83, 84 and 87; not one had a factory tach. Still own the 87 ;)
Something I have learned is that the factory quadrajet carbs (if that's what is on yours) have fuel bowel plugs in them that over time will wear out allowing gas to leak out of them and back down the fuel line. So if you let the truck sit for a few days there is no fuel in the carb and you have to crank it for about 10 seconds to get fuel up there. After that initial crank, two pumps, then fire it up. But as you mentioned in the video it sounds like the choke isn't wasn't working right. Else she'd have fired right up as soon as she got fuel. When my choke isn't engaged I have to screw with it like you did. The only difference is I don't have to jump up and down on the gas pedal. Usually once I get it cranked over I just have to keep the foot slightly on the gas for a minute before she'll idle. Interestingly my truck starts perfectly when its around 45-50 outside but when it's warmer the choke doesn't work. I'm thinking that'll just be a simple adjustment.
As an aside my truck's Temp and Oil pressure gauges didn't work either. I had to replace both sending units.
Shane Singleton I wonder if thats why my caprice would sometimes not start on the first go, after sitting for some time. Then, another pump and a second try and it went every time. The quadrajet functioned quite well otherwise. Had i kept it, i would have had the carb completely overhauled, good gaskets that can handle today's shitty gas, etc, reset to factory specs etc etc. Miss that old thing
It's a Chevy, it will run (eventually)
I love those old engines.
I love how they sound when they are cranking!
I personally store my C10 in the garage over the Michigan winter, it seems to start up quite easily.......
She sounds damn fine just hungry for fuel damn nice truck she just needs a little TLC 👌
Nice looking 1980 dually, It wants to run, Its just cold.
Wooooow that pick up looks gorgeous.
Of the 20 or 25 old square body chevs and k5 blazers I've had over the years not a one had a factory tach.
That's interesting. I didn't realize it was unusual to have.
Maynard Reed I got one that came with a factory power seat and there was also a tachometer that had a fuel gauge at the bottom of it when option with a clock
@@mauricecooper176 I've had at least 20 or 25 trucks an d blazers. My dad had a couple suburbans and I've never seen one with the fuel gauge in the tac h.
@@maynardreed4036 If you ordered tac and clock the fuel gauge was on the tachometer I've seen a few of them the tachometer was rare let alone one with a gas gauge I've only seen 1 truck with a power seat in this body style
@@mauricecooper176 I don't believe I've ever seen one with a power seat.
Don’t know how I came across this video.. but this truck is now mine lol
If that’s true… I hope you are enjoying the heck out of it! Cool truck for sure!
@@NIXONGarage it is, I drive it quite a bit
Beautiful car and strong industry 👍🔧
That old girl fired up nice! Had a few models like yours an my own since I was 20 an now 55! But I will say fuel injection is the best thing they could have ever done! Just my opinion right or wrong! Just effortles compared to carbs!
اشهد ان صوته طرب✌️
صوته احسه مثل صوت الجمس الملكي مديلات التسعينات
I love Carburetors and all... But man, after I got my 1989 C30 ( a continued HD version of the 73-87 body style ) not the newer 90's style in other words. The truck is so much nicer to use than my other two C30's the 86 and 87. Don't think I'll ever bother with Carbs on a daily driver/ work truck ever again.. Only on the toys that I don't need to rely on. lol
My first truck ever that’s what I’m going to get for my first truck just simple no fuel injection just simple
Of course it will run!!!
It’s a CHEVY!!!!! 😉😌
brodie, when it starts and holds a high idle don't touch the gas lmao
He has no choice
That’s one badass rig
I just cold started the 350 I built for my brother a few days ago in -15 °c here in Canada, I deleted the choke plate so it had no choke, took a bit of cranking to get fuel up to the bowl once I saw fuel I just pumped it twice cranked and fired right up like half a crank and stalled hit it again and she stayed running, not sure why yours seems so difficult with a choke even but defiantly re do that carb she needs a rebuild kit you should only have to pump it twice
Hi!!🖐come to cancun you are welcome 🌊🌞
Choke may be stuck open I know the video is old but if u could afford it a holly efi throttle body kit it eliminates stuck chokes plus you can control fuel delivery electronically so u don't have to pump it till ur foot falls off
Dang good looking truck buddy you lucked out with the factory tach oh, I don't think very many trucks like that had them
Is it bad that I didn't even know these trucks had the option to come with a tack from the factory? I have NEVER seen one...
That tach is worth more than the truck
Colt Troxel LMC was selling them
@@mauricecooper176 thats aftermarket junk though. nothing is better than factory!
@@SchnelleKat Have you ever seen a tachometer with the fuel gauge on the bottom of it
@@mauricecooper176 ya i have fuckers rare though. in the NOS group im in when they do pop up easily $450-500 for that guage...
Know of any for the 6.2 diesel
It will run it's a Chevy in the could!
I love this truck!!♥️👍♥️
Do u still have this truck?? Great truck love the way it sounds.
الله يرزقني بواحدن زيه ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
امين
@@sweevydad5284 يا رجال ما اعرف ايش شغل يدعس السياره وهي بارده اتوقع البلوف راح فيها
Those chevy trucks are the most dependable vehicles around.
love that engine
*Doctor PHILCO* Is that a 7.4 your truck has in it?!
Usualy the factory tach back then the gas guage was at the bottom of the tach mine was it had a clock over where you thought the gas guage should be that kept crappy time atleast mine and others i saw was that way
Put one of those eddlebroch carbs on they run good .
sounds good
Wish u were my neighbor!!😍😍😍😍😍
Id love to own this.. On the wish list
Nice old chevy!....
That's really good. Rev the piss out of engine while the oil is still in the oil pan
Who TF cares??
@@disturbedrocks1996 I guess if he wants to blow the engine that's his business
@@justinmyslive4108 exactly
Do you still have this old truck??♥️😍♥️😍♥️
thats one hell of a battery for not being started n 3 months
Hey I noticed your oil pressure guage is maxed out I have the same problem if you know anything about that please let me know
I love this truck!! Do you still have it??
how's the truck running
Looks just like my old truck i miss her. they make an over drive unit that bolts to the back of the trans its cool as shit !!
Any more info on that?? Love my c-10 but dont love only being able to go 65 with the stock tranny and rear end
the proper way to start a carb vehicle in the winter is as goes as follows. crank engine for 6-8 seconds and then let it sit for about 30 seconds. then pump the gas pedal slowly to the floor a couple times. now crank the engine and it should fire right up. cranking the engine before pumping the gas pedal lets fuel pressure build. normally on carb vehicle they have a mechanic fuel pump and it only builds fuel pressure when the engine is cranking or running. sitting there pumping the piss out the pedal while cranking it isnt gunna start it easily/
tank2449 proper way is push pedal once to set choke don’t touch it again let the pump bring the fuel and let the carb do the rest
@@brettmart57 that is true. the choke on my 84 s10 doesnt work and the one on my suburban kinda works. that is just how i start them two. my 1984 2.8 4x4 4spd s10 ive fired up when it was -50 with wind chill. took some cranking and i had to sit in the cab for a minute or so till it warmed up enough i didnt have it feather the gas pedal. now in the winter time i just raise my idle adjustment up till it idles at about 1000 warmed up so when it is cold its diling around 850ish. i also pack a can of ether with in my trucks incase my battery every gets low i just give her a little bit of cosbey in a can before cranking her.
Factory Tach too...............That's a rare option
Ánimo buena pick up
It’s a Chevy truck Sr. Dig it out
Redline for a good time anyone? Lol
Enjoy! A new ride...
Unless someone put a new grille, hood, and fenders on that’s not an ‘80. ‘80s had round headlights, vertical front side markers/turn signals, and taller hoods that always cracked where the spring brackets ended.
NH2112 1980 was the only year of 73-80 models with square headlights
My ‘80 Blazer had round headlights, I didn’t buy it new but I know the grille wasn’t replaced.
The old truck is definitely cold natured!
And think he said it was like 9 degrees outside to some people that might be a heatwave and if you're a polar bear it's probably time to go skinny dipping at that temperature I'm surprised the battery even had anything in it that wasn't froze solid I'd say that was a pretty good cold start
Nice truck
Do u still have this old truck??😎❤
I ended up selling it. I fixed the issues and drove it daily during the summer, it was a fun truck
@@NIXONGarage I liked this old truck. How much did you sell it for???
Around 4k, I don’t remember exactly
Why that tach is going backwards, made like that?
S M Thats how chevy designed it. Why? I have no clue.
You better take it easy on the rev’s or else you might have a vent hole in the side of the block.... especially on a first start up in 5 days and in 9 degree weather...
😍😍😍
Is this for seal ,?
Sounds like needs new fuel filter and rebuild of the ole quadrablah, new air filter also, maybe? 🤪
Otta just put an aftermarket temp gauge on. I dislike the factory guage because i dont want to know if its hot or cold i want to know if its runnin at 180,210 and so on. I do like the factory oil pressure gauge however.
Typical Q Jet float bowl plugs leaking, probably would have fired right off if they had not leaked and drained all the fuel from the carb. The fuel pump has to bring fuel all the way back up to the carb again.
Everyone I have owned has done the same thing,even the 2 bbl vari -jet.
Where did you learn how to start a truck?
In the year 2000
Any updates ?
Sold it
Very good man:-)
not good on rods and mains bearings cold to be revving engine and also sounds like bowl is draining on carburetor
350, 400, or 454?
Your gas lines are probably froze. Up a little
"Block Heater".
وين العرب ياشيييخ 😂😂
نطالع من بعيد
اي والله نطالع من بعيد:).
🤓
where's the idle arm man, this truck is suppose to run by itself during a clod start
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍
Vacuum leaks.
Put a manual check on it
You need carbretor my car start in one click baby
GG
What does it have one of those old diesel engines duramax?
This truck was made 21 years before the duramax came out.
Me gusta la camioneta
Wait it’s a gas or a diesel
Gas
Hi,why does it still?
Is it a 350.
yes
@@larrywhinnery1808 hey those are hard on fuel as it is you don't need a 454
No 454
Is he recording this with a laptop?
Wtf
Lmaoooo it didn’t wanna start
