Finding an old car or truck in a barn, fixing it up to make it safe and road worthy again and driving the heck out of it is more satisfying than buying a new car or truck.
John M. For sure my friend....Satisfying.....YES & you don't spend ALOT of $$$$$...Plain jane(base model) Chevrolet trucks now I think they starting around $30,000.00 or more...that a damn shame...Give my old over new every time.
Mr. B. Here ! Northeast Sunday morning 9/3/23 ! It’s great to see old iron coming back to life ! American Marketing has put the idea old is junk buy new . Aftermarket support is 10 X better today than in the pass ! Nice job on C10 . Enjoy your week end ! 👀😎👍☕️☕️🍩🍩🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Decent 74 chevy c10 custom deluxe long bed truck and hinges, and the square body 87 GMC v1500 kinda deserves to be fixed since it saved Dalton's life much more than the wagon would have tim sir
I took the '87 on trade against the white 1994 Grand Prix they got from me for their chase car. Look for a video giving a full analysis of the condition of the truck soon!
Good to see a return to some will it runs! NOW, IF that big block 86 C30 hasn't moved on, there's a good candidate!! As well as some of those 71 Impalas you've rounded up. Just saying...
Daddy had that trucks country cousin it was a 74 GMC sierra it was good old pickem up Truck ! On those old fuel tanks been sitting for a little bit sometimes we need Berman B12 in the tank it would help clean up any nastiness in there and also help get rid of any water that’s been sitting in there from condensation ! Other times we might use marvel mystery oil also we use that in the crank case clean out some sludge when you change the oil also sometimes helps relubricate valve stem seals a little bit but sometimes I have to be changed ! After we’d rent an old car for a little bit which smells like oil and sometimes it doggone fuel pump would be pumping gas into the crank case ! And this is just some extra info but grasshoppers and pinecones some parts are edible ! Anyway TTFN keep having fun !
The fact that its a 74 without the catalytic converter makes it the last real unrestricted exhaust truck made by chevy. And makes it more desirable then the 75 at least for me. My next car will be pre 75 at least. I have a 78, 79 and 85 all with cats.
@nickzobel9922 Something to remember regarding these old square Chevys, catalytic converters first showed up on half tons only. 3/4 tons weren't required until 79 or 80, & idk if 1 tons were at the same break point or even later. An example, even though it's Dodge- First year Lil Red Express had no converters, 2nd year did as the Feds changed the weight & horse power specs. This was one of a few reasons the Midnite Express was created, & ran in smaller numbers.

A lot less money also

Очень классные старые Американские автомобили 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Simplicity is a lawn/garden tractor manufacturer out of WS. Was owned by Allis-Chalmers at one time.
Briggs and Stratton bought Simplicity years ago, not as good as they were

I have a 1977 gmc square body pickup and it has never had a converter.
You need to run a couple of cans Berry man's though it!
That's the next step after brakes. As soon as those are completed, I plan to run several tanks of fresh fuel through it and see what it will do
If I remember right those older cars have to run a bit to build vacuum for the brake booster
I liked seeing the old truck getting new parts and new life. What was the insect at 15:18 ? Looked like a locust to me.
Yep, it's not fun chasing the weakest link, in any system (brakes, charging, ignition, etc...). ;-)
Thank Gord you don't have to drive 800 miles in it, to Mt Rushmore.
Are you going to the Ness city , Kansas auction on the 9th?
One year newer you would had HEI
Bummer w/water pump.
But that removes air from system /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ\
Hehehe
I'm surprised he didn't run the engine with the radiator cap removed until warmed up to ensure no trapped air in the system.
Can you actually burn down a house with pitchforks?
Yes, I caught the mixed metaphor, too.
People that name their truck just beg it not to break down, ever see that?
Are you married, spiderman? Just wonder because girls aint keen on car guys who rarely call home.
