The good old days. When life was simple and easy going. Now it’s crazy and unpredictable. Just like the new cars & trucks of today. Thank you, Jason, for a trip down memory lane and how good we had it. 👍🏻😊
Those days were better than these days, and I had a 64 chev SS totally restored aqua blue with white leather sitting on Goodyear tires mounted on Cragar SS deep dish chrome wheels. Eventually I sold it to a Chev dealer, drove it up their ramp to the show room floor and parked it in the roped off area along with a Vette and other beauties.
Oh man, you are talking my language with this. I love classic trucks and cars. I just finished my 1971 Ford Torino GT about three weeks ago. I'm giving myself a 6 week break, then I'm getting into a 76 F-150. Excited to have those 2 next to my 87 Dodge Ram, 90 Mustang and 67 Chevelle.
I work hard to play hard. I run an auto body shop/ mechanic shop as I side hustle. All the money I make doing that funds all the projects I do, wether it's a classic car, or doing things at the house like the bathroom remodel we did last year.
Had a 70 Torino 351 v8 with shaker hood functioning hood scoop, yellow with black leather. Rear tires never did get much traction but they sure smoked a lot.
That's the era I grew up in. I was still driving 60s GM into the 1990s. The engine I always wished I had was the 261 CI in-line 6, the Chevy truck engine that was used in Canadian standard-size Pontiacs between about 1954 and definitely ended in 1962. The Chevrolet Biscayne, Belair, etc had the 235, but the Canadian Pontiacs that rode on Chevrolet chassis had the 261 as standard equipment. Bone simple. I could do all my regular maintenance work. I still have my kit for doing points and condensers. I should get another oldie in my retirement. I bought them because they didn't have 70s pollution controls.
I remember in the 80s helping my friend change out intake from a 2barrel to 4 barrel on his Camaro engines were so easy to work on. Now everything is made that you can’t work on them I miss the simplicity that we had
Even my 04 Tundra is more complicated than my first Toyota truck in the 80’s. I have to replace the thermostat and have to do so many things. My first truck the thermostat was on top of the engine and all I had to do was open the housing and pop a new one in. My 04 I have to remove the skid plate drain the radiator remove the top cover undo the air box hoses, remove the radiator hose.
In high school auto shop the last project we split up in groups and took apart a straight 6 like that and put it together again, then fired it up. Good times. 🛻
Love this truck. This is why I keep my '91 12 valve cummins 4x4 around.

Mine is also a 351 Cleveland, 4 speed. But it's orange with black leather, also has a shaker hood.
Absolutly beautiful! Simplicity as its best

The Apache and the Stingray are BAD A55!!!! Thanks Jason!!

Beautiful piece of machinery! That’s when you could actually work on your vehicle! 💯💪🏾
Agree 100
Love the classics! Simple and easy to work on without the BS re-programming. Parts are still readily available.
@@graphicd00d75 agree

My 78Z28 is a simple beast. Just getting the hood up is the hard part 😂
Oh man, I love 78-79 Z28's

@Jason-Samko maybe I helped back a little on memory lane, for all you've done that's helped me

Yep every year things get more complicated
Back when things were simple and 3 stations was all that was on tv 😂
Or how your parents made you stand at the new cable box and click theu each channel button to find what they want to watch😂
Not restored to original!!!
