Hay, Rick & Jamie; 1 st. Prayers fer Dad's Speedy & Healthy Recovery, You'll be able to gnaww on some Steak soon, Friend ! Love the ole /79 Can't wait fer yer next post, Friends !Have a wonderful up-coming weekend. ATB Ter God Bless
What a find! Love the 1973-1987 C/K trucks......miss my old '85 GMC Sierra Classic "heavy half" longbed, minus all the danged rust that plagued these. Your friends from overseas should be well pleased with this.....
I've always been a Ford guy...owned about 13 Ford trucks from 65 to 90....Then a couple of years ago I saw a Craigslist ad for a 1976 GMC Sierra Grand C25 2wd, 81,000 original miles...the owner had lost his license and needed money for court costs. Anyway, it had set for almost a year, and I couldn't hear it run, but I took a chance. Brought it home, put a battery in it, primed the carb and it fired up first try! I drive the thing everywhere!! 350 4V runs smooth as glass! Best $600 I've spent in years!! Love the square body Chevys/GMCs!! Love your vids, guys. So glad that things are coming along well with you both!! God bless you!!
You really scored on that one Rick. LMC truck has all those interior parts that Robert should buy while he's here. Good to see you both ,and glad you're doing well.
U guys are always great to watch! I always feel good when I watch your videos for a number of different reasons. Save those great old trucks!God Bless my friends!!
Rick great to see you back in front of the camera great to see you to Jamie hope your dad has a speedy recovery recovery sorry l haven't been around much been a little under the weather lately take care Buck
What a great video, Rick ! So sorry to hear about your Dad`s injury. I hope he recovers well. Yes, getting older is a doozie for us men. I, too, am undergoing teeth issues. I need to hold my video camera UP a little higher when I make my videos - I have noticed that my ( loss of teeth ) issues are very apparent in my vids. That `79 Chevy is a very good survivor ! I just watched Elderly Iron`s video the other day, and it will be exciting to be able to view another `video collaboration` between you and Jeff. Again - Thanks !
Hey Rick, I'm always super happy when you post a new video but when you don't post for awhile I know that its for a good reason! Thanks for the video bud!
wow i stumbled across this video and instantly subscribed. I have a 73 short step side c10 that i've had since high school that i swapped a 454 into and i just fell in love with your channel. God Bless Classic Truck Rescue.
I'm a new subscriber and I have enjoyed watching your videos,I think its cool how you rescue old trucks and bring them back to life..you and Jamie are awesome keep up the good work..can't wait for more videos..👍
Nice find, one of your better ones I would think. Heck I know guys would put plates/tags, fresh gas and go for a couple hundred mile trip in that truck, Keep On Keeping On
did'nt know 79 had tilt steering. for 7 years i drove a 79 Big10 350 V8 4X2. TO THIS DAY that vehicle was the most dependable thing i've ever owned by far.
That Ranchero and Dodge are prime examples on why you don't buy anything sight unseen. They probably looked decent in photos but were rough underneath. Nice job finding the best for your customers.
The video format this time was really interesting! Talking about all the things that happened, with the video stories to go with it. And then end up with Elderly Iron! nice! More with Jeff I hope?
Merle, that old camper special looks like a Merle to me. As in Merle Haggard, I can see that old truck rolling down the road playin ol Merle's songs.Go together like PB and jelly.
They probably will after they see this video. Jamie and I were going down I-5 in Washington to look at another truck for Robert a couple weeks ago and saw it on the side of the highway.....still had a for sale sign in the window. lol. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Love the square body Chevy trucks I have a 1985 c10 with a rock solid body and just surface rust on top of the cab and a 1987 chevy v20 that pretty rusty .
Don't worry about you dad, Rick. My Mum had both of her hips done a few years back and she's right as rain now. Hell, I can't keep up with her and I'm 31 years younger than she is...
rick i had a 79 camper special and they do look like the 3/4 ton but are actualy a one ton truck. just thought you should know. if robert doesnt buy it , i would take it in a minute!
Hey Rick. Great find. A quick tip/hint in the 73-80 GM hoods: push the hood tiwards the windshield. Do not pull it down. Yes maintenance of the hinges will help, but the only sure method is to push towards the windshield. Try it. You will not regret it. And I have a question about your 77. The interior light, does it have a horizontal handle along the bottom? In 1977 only, as an ultra rare option, GM combined the interior light with a pull down cargo lamp. GM only did it the one year because the light would shine off the inside of the rear window, effectively making seeutng into the box impossible. Also, the trim on your 77 should have a yellow stripe in it. Another 1year only thing. Hmmmmm...oh yeah. In case you do not know, 1977 is first year for power windows in these trucks. The inner door stamping changed to make the accomodation, and that also changed the door panel. In retrospect, you most likely already know these things. I hope to hear back from you regarding the interior lught/cargo light combo. Take care and happy classic truck hunting!
You are a wealth of information on the Square-Bodies my friend. Thank you. I did go check the black 77 4x4 and was disappointed that I do not have the elusive pull-down lamp. It has black paint on the trim as well, which didn't really bum me out. Don't think I d want the yellow striped trim on a black truck. Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Camper Special....Camper...The Netherlands? Yes Ard, I would say Deja Vu is an appropriate term. How you doing Buddy.....Pal? get all settled-in to the new place?
The truck is already in the hands of its new owners and making its way down 101 towards L.A. You never know when Good Old Jeff is going to pop up. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
IIII LLLooovvveee UUUUUU !!!!!!!!!!!..... Hey OL Timer, good luck on the fitting of your New Chompers. Rick If your going to do truck looking maneuvers at night maybe invest in a one million candle power cordless handheld spot light. Just my opinion. I know every one has one. Love Jamie," Back up " ?? !!!... At the end, wasn't that the Raccoon you used in the other video, Rocky Raccoon, or do they all look alike ?. Hope Robert likes his new pre owned truck. I'll pray for your Dads speedy recovery. TTFN - CTR....From East coast Angelo.
Hey Jeff...nice Chevy there, that mileage makes it virtually brand new!!! Check out the Wranglerstar page...he's a neighbor of yours so to speak...Mt Fuji or Hood is visible from his deck and he is a wildland firefighter and has two operable firetrucks and can answer your questions about what everything does and how it works, he even took videos of him at work spotting helicopter drops. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! PAT IN CALGARY
Good loooking truck, i knew a man in 70s that ran a bakery that had a truck like that in long wheel base. them were good trucks years ago, stay a way from 307 cubic motors on old chevy trucks there junk.
Nice one. Another survivor truck gets ready to start a new life. It's got to be pretty unusual to find a big block truck with that many options and the camper special package but no a/c... It would be a shame to part out that yellow and white factory diesel with the camper shell as that has got to be pretty rare survivor...
i have a beautiful texas ford 1971 short bed green 302 4 speed manual pretty much stock except shaved door handles and fromt and rear bumpers but its solid just looking for a new ass im in new york up around niagara falls though
man, all these sweet trucks almost make me want to see if you can find one for me one day, about what does it cost to have one shipped the whole way across the country?
Did that white and yellow squarebody with the white topper ('78 GMC you said?) come out of Portland a couple years ago? Looks identical to one that sat in my neighbor's front yard for many years.
So I got some questions I got a 46 flatbed Studebaker and I don't know where to get parts, would you happen to know? An is there a way to track the vin an see info about it?
I have an 84 gmc 3/4 ton 2 wheel 305 runs drive very little rust power everything I know this is a long shot but it's in Arkansas looking for 2000 if anyone is intrested

Yep, that was a surprise! Horse poop and all.
You never know when Good Old Jeff is going to poop in....I mean pop in.
Dang Rick seems like you'll let anybody inta your place.

Holy moly. That Ranchero had more mud than metal on it. Surprised they didn't Bondo the frame back together. 😂

Classic Truck Rescue Thanx for responding Rick! Keep on keeping on!
Always had problems with upper A-frame bolts wearing out on both of my 1979. Mine had power windows. But, definitely a good truck.
I like the Sanford and son music
I couldn't help myself....just seemed to fit the view. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
for some reason I like the new back ground music
Deja vu huh ? :-D
Nice find that !
Camper Special....Camper...The Netherlands? Yes Ard, I would say Deja Vu is an appropriate term. How you doing Buddy.....Pal? get all settled-in to the new place?
Almost Rick. Just got the keys yesterday! Just need to do the wall coverings and fit a new kitchen !
Oh, and move all our stuff hahahaha
Love that ring tone!
Nice 4X4 black beauty.
thats a beutiful truck
Thank you and Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
I think I would wet sand and clear it and drive it just as it is. Way cool !!
I would LOVE to have that truck! But, unfortunately, I have zero budget to do it.
P.S. I did see Jeff's last vid, so I was not surprised to see him!
The truck is already in the hands of its new owners and making its way down 101 towards L.A. You never know when Good Old Jeff is going to pop up. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
That thing is sweet!

I need that horn button!!!! Hard to find around here in Iowa.
Good loooking truck, i knew a man in 70s that ran a bakery that had a truck like that in long wheel base. them were good trucks years ago, stay a way from 307 cubic motors on old chevy trucks there junk.
Agreed...307 motors make good boat anchors. Thanks Fer Watchin'. -Rick
Thanks, a get miss wifey to do us a video about her horse an new stable. thanks
Cool truck
I think the aux. on the fire truck is a 2.5 in inlet, used if you were going truck to truck.
Nice one. Another survivor truck gets ready to start a new life. It's got to be pretty unusual to find a big block truck with that many options and the camper special package but no a/c...
It would be a shame to part out that yellow and white factory diesel with the camper shell as that has got to be pretty rare survivor...
If Cheyenne was built to haul a camper, maybe he didn't have an inside rear-view mirror when he left the factory.
i have a beautiful texas ford 1971 short bed green 302 4 speed manual pretty much stock except shaved door handles and fromt and rear bumpers but its solid just looking for a new ass im in new york up around niagara falls though
Rick don't feel bad, I don't have a tooth in my mouth either, but I can eat steak and lobster with no prob, your friend , Big ED
man, all these sweet trucks almost make me want to see if you can find one for me one day, about what does it cost to have one shipped the whole way across the country?
Did that white and yellow squarebody with the white topper ('78 GMC you said?) come out of Portland a couple years ago? Looks identical to one that sat in my neighbor's front yard for many years.
I bought it, and a blue 1955 Chevy out of an estate sale in Oregon City 1-1/2 years ago.
wow you did not say you had a suprise gest a fellow toober cool
So I got some questions I got a 46 flatbed Studebaker and I don't know where to get parts, would you happen to know? An is there a way to track the vin an see info about it?
There looks to be a mid 50s gmc suburban in the back ground.. would they sale it??
Wow, that Ranchero was a bondo buggy

Hello CTR, did you get the wagon running?
I think somebody jumped the bridge with that power wagon! It looks twisted! Dont it?
Kind of looks that way...doesn't it?
