- I just picked up this original 1 family owned 1971 Chevy C10 Truck. It was last run in 1999 and I was told that the 350 engine is siezed. Lets see if it will run in time for SEMA! Plus, an update on the Chicken Truck

Smart move on the '71. I think it is a philosophy many backyard mechanics need to follow. I appreciate that you pull the curtain back on how custom car sales and markets work.. Thanks for another great episode.
Thanks! Please use this enormous donation for the 71 seat. I really love bench seats.
I love bench seats too! Thanks so much for the donation, I'll put it into the bench seat rescue fund!
He almost made”140,000 maintenance-free miles” sound like a great feature. Awesome salesmanship!😊
Never to early to start practicing the used car sales routine for this one! Haha
Enjoyed the 3rd person commentary
Red Green is your Daddy ❤
Myself and the other Kyles are glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff Kyle! Keep them dollars comin' people! This man has to feed his cats.
Haha! Thanks so much Travis!
6:21 LOL. "Notice his cat like reflexes as he jumps back like a coward.". So funny! Canadian humor is my life!!
Haha I'm glad you got a laugh!
Kyle, your ace-in-the-hole is your metal magic--its something 99% of us can't do. You can do magic and its not super expensive--its the talent that's expensive. You already have that.
I have a tiny youtube channel and I lose money on every video I make so I understand how hard it is for you to even cover your costs. Some people make money from youtube but I think the majority do not. Rebuilding a truck that can be sold seems a very sensible way to go.
What's your channel name
What is your channel name so I can take a look?
No mice were harmed in the making of this awesome video
Build it they will come and watch 😅👍👍🤩👍
Glad those old homeless and unloved rusty Cheyy pickup trucks follow you home. Like a dog pound saving them and re homing them to other loving homes after they heal some under your care. Great job Kyle on saving ever one you can and make some money. do not want to see you loose your shop.
Sparking like a surfer dude during winter
I enjoyed the 3rd person dialogue, it works well. 😂
Haha thanks!
67-72 all the way. That C10 is a winner....lets see more of that!
Can’t wait for the chicken truck! 😊
New Chicken Truck video out tomorrow!
I wish we could find old cars and trucks here in Ontario that were in as good a condition as you get in Saskatchewan. I had a 72 Chev C20 with 350, 4 speed, and I wish it was even close to the good condition your C10 is in. They were great trucks and real work horses.
I must say, that was one of the most enthusiastic reactions to one of my videos I have ever seen. As far as the quality of modern gasoline.... I'm afraid my home state probably has more to do with crappy gas than your beloved Canada. Making crap gas out of corn is part of our "no farmer left behind" program. I guess what I'm saying is... sorry. And one last thing.. I am very disappointed that you didn't take advantage of the old man with the truck. Underhandedness and complete disregard of your fellow man is why I started watching your channel. Cheers from the shed
I should have known it was all an Iowa plot. Saving humanity by turning food into fuel actually makes a lot of sense if you don't think about it. Also, don't worry, I'll just find some other old person to take advantage of!
Randahl: Kyle has walked in those shoes when a fellow Canadian You Tuber took advantage of him on the purchase of a vintage GMC truck. It speaks volumes of Kyle's moral fiber!😉
Ah yes... I forgot about that.😄@@glennnickerson8438
@@glennnickerson8438
Moral Fiber.
A good name for a breakfast cereal. ;)
I have a difficult time watching videos on Wednesday’s because I only have so much time and Scott sucked me in - I’ll do my best
I personally like the 67 Chevy trucks because that was the year I was born and that's what my first ride was in from the hospital. Lol
Work on what ever you want, I'll be here to watch. 👍
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Good buy on the 71. I know you have to be careful with the chicken truck but Don't sell yourself short. You know what your doing and people know that. I have been subscribed for atleast one of those two years and have gone back and watched the rest. So good luck with the chicken project, believe in yourself.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching this stuff!
Hello from B.C., Kyle: I must say this is from one of my favourite eras of trucks.Hard to believe now, but this was brand new when I was in high school! Also, really looking forward to the Chicken Truck project.I think that somewhere in the great beyond, George Barris is smiling down on you.
Hi Gregory! Thanks for following along! It would be neat to have the approval of George Barris!
The fire really helps with the algorithm. Also the cats.
That's a pretty nice find , I'm sure you would have the metal work done in no time .Maybe the seller would trade the license plate for the tail gate , if for sentimental reasons .
Maybe, but I won't pester him. The tailgate was bent anyway so it's not a huge loss
Keep on keepin on with the patch n flip, because even though you are showing us how to do it, you have the skills to do what is the hardest part of the project for most people…and most people are going to be willing to pay to have that part done. Then do the longer term custom things the way you want to, without worrying about what they are worth or how many views they get. Do what you enjoy, and I am guessing that the success will follow. Very impressive…
Oh yeah I'll continue with the patch n flip, but I enjoy building customs just as much!
The new truck came with the factory rally wheels, so that has to be worth a few extra dollars. I think the truck is well worth fixing up, like you say that edition of truck is hot right now.
Yeah the original ralley wheels are a neat option!
This would be a good project to watch. I dont miss the chicken truck.
Bring on the chicken truck , not many videos showing how to hands on . Thanks Kyle very entertaining
Coming soon! Thanks for watching!
I like square body’s.
Clean n simple design.
Grew up with em as new trucks.
Good to see the chicken truck make it inside the garage, Looks like a mega challenge that I think you can conquer
It definitely will be a challenge haha
Hi Kyle.
I guess the strike is over since the cats are back.
I assume you caved in to their demands for your own safety.
The reaction to Shed By The Tracks videos by Poe was great. Maybe that could be a recurring segment since it would require very little editing effort. ;)
You may be surprised at what you could be offered for a custom project IF you decide to sell it after it's completed. You are getting quite famous, after all. Or is that infamous?
Sorry you got the white stuff and cold temps :(
Have a good week.
Hi Joe!
I actually would be surprised if I was offered anything for the custom project when I'm finished with it. I tried selling the 66 C10 on TH-cam and even with it being priced well below market value I had zero inquiries. (Other than the misguided fellow who wanted to drive it 2500 miles home with a bad engine). Good news is that I was able to sell the truck locally using conventional methods.
Hope you have a great week too!
I would watch you rebuild a biscuit tin...............but looking forward to you setting your jacket on fire while building/customising the "Chicken Truck" keep up the great work.
You can watch biscuit tin restorations on my other channel "Carter Biscuit Restyling"
Looks like Chicken truck build $$$$$$!
Those are some nice tunes you playing while vacuuming the inside of the 71 truck
As owner of a '69 CST/10, I approve of your new purchase! Mine has been in the family for 54 years and has suffered a lot of hackage over the years. Dad was the culprit, so most of it is going to stay... I will enjoy watching whatever project you are working on...
That's awesome and I think you made the right choice to preserve your dads work!
'71 C20 was the first licensed vehicle I drove. I was 7 yrs old and too small to throw wet 70 pound hay bales, so I got to drive. I have a lot of sentiment for those things. It was a great farm truck and hauled our stuff to college 10 yrs later.
Right on, thanks for sharing!
I blinked when you asked me to watch for spark so would you play it back and next time I will stare at it 😊
Will do!
If I had a vote, I would vote to see you work on the 71 truck. Since I don't have a vote, I will just watch whatever you work on (71 truck), or the chicken truck.
We'll get to the 71 eventually, but for the moment it's full steam ahead on the Chicken Truck!
Great stuff !!! It was so nice of you to give Shed by the Tracks a boost with the cat's critique.
Always looking out for the gang over at Shed by the Tracks!
Really cool truck
Thanks for another , Brother !
Thanks for watchin!
Hey Kyle, my Dad had several Chevy trucks but my favorite was his black 1970 C10 with the 307 and three on the tree. Loved that truck!:) not surprised it started and don't worry about that little lifter noise. It will probably go away with time. Here in Wisconsin our temps are already below freezing at night but at least no snow yet. I can't afford to heat my shop so I limit my work to above 10 degrees F. Most of the rust repair doesn't care about the temperature and the finish stuff waits till spring!😊 Fortunately the stuff I buy needs so much work I have plenty to keep me busy! My "new" 1965 F350 is a prime example. I'd put the better tires on the wheels from the 71 and put those on the GMC! I'm looking forward to seeing the repair where the RF fender is hard creased. I've got a similar repair and enjoy watching you struggle, I mean work!😅 Thanks
Hi John! I hope the snow holds off for you in Wisconsin!
'abandoned, seized engine, will it run' the trifecta for TH-cam!
Not to mention the really great bodywork you do, and the metal's behavior and characteristics explained as you work it.😁
👍🇺🇸😎
Haha thanks John!
Don't count yourself short on a buyer ,it's cool someone will fall in love with it!
Chicken truck!
What a sweet C10. Love the 69' - 72' body styles. Nice score!
Thanks!
Love the cats
Me too!
Yeah!
Don't switch it over to electronic ignition, just leave the. points in it. That way it will be EMP proof .....
That's the plan!
Your skills are worth watching whether its building a custom or rebuilding a rust bucket back to stock
You've got it figured out Kyle . You tube takes time , your young in age only but as smart as someone older . Thanks for all you do ....
Thank you Don!
I’m kinda diggin the old truck… I’d love to see you work your magic and get that old boy back on the road. Keep up the great work.
Yeah I'm looking forward to fixing it up a bit too!
Got spark Kyle!
Thanks for letting me know!
I was just about to freak out about the chicken truck so thank you for the clip showing it is in the house!
New Chicken Truck video will be out tomorrow!
I too find it best trying to re-inflate dry rotted tires on a nice gravel surface, this approach provides much more shrapnel when the inevitable occurs.
A very helpful tip! Thanks!
Another trailer queen eh jeez , all it needs is Carters patented flipper shine juice and all will be well . Have the cats approved this ?
I’m one of those 1 or 2 people. So far the chicken truck looks awesome. If I had some money I get on the list to buy the final product. So I guess you need 1 or 2 people who also have money.
The '71 is one of those rare finds which....IF a person can swing it, is well worth purchasing.
I'm pretty sure I've commented on this before but..... I would rather buy something with 'honest rust' than some mudded, primered, 'OOOOoohhh....shiny, restoration'.... a LOT of 'imaginative sculpting' can be hiding under the shine.
I DO hope the 'Chicken Truck' project gets plenty of views over the next couple of months. I know I'll be watching (which I realize isn't really going to make a heck of a lot of difference)....but I'll watch every episode you share to see the progress.
Keep up the fine work Kyle!!!
Hi Russ, thanks for being one of my regular viewers. It does make a difference and I appreciate it!
Oh, I think the fumes got to you. I can smell them here 1200 miles due south! I think the previous owner did a good job matching the touch up paint to the cab door.
Mr Common tater - this Kyle guy you got messing around with that 'one owner' rig - My advice is for him to get some tips from DD Speed Shop on rust repair before he just dives right in and makes a mess of everything - and then everyone will say "that old guy told ya" - I had a good one of those with the 5 stud wheels and it was great - Lets do it.- Hey you play the piano real good.and it's nobody's damn bussiness what you do with your stuff.
I've been watching lots of DD Speed Shop to get ideas and tips!
My dad's only new car was that truck, a 69 GMC of a slightly brighter green. I learned to drive on that truck and drove it for a year. I cleaned and adjusted the points, adjusted the timing and basically, learned about cars with that truck. He put a cap on it and had a bed and mattress in it and we camped with it a few times.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Like the way you repair the trucks and would be happy with the purchase of one of these so called flips because I would know that you fixed it the correct way. Great videos Kyle. make some money and keep videoing.
I really like the factory color of the Chicken truck ! The baby blue , it would look nice if it were that color again..
Love your work ,you should be working on Duesenbergs, Cords , Pierce-Arrow And other high end Cars..
Good find on the '71, my brother's father in law in Maine has a gold '70 that makes your truck look like it came from California. His goats have been "helping" with the rotten spots for decades. Super excited for the chicken truck! Cheers, from Cow Hampshire.
I love the 60-63 chevys with the double hump dash.
Me too!
I love the 71. I’ve been on the lookout for one myself! ❤😎
I'm straight south of you in western South Dakota. I run nothing but premium non ethanol fuel in all my gas engines. I have no issues with it. All my small engines that sit all winter start with little to no issues in the spring.
Yeah, all our gas in Canada now has ethanol, including premium
Looking forward to the chicken truck and the 71. I drove a shortbed 70 to highschool. My dad bought it for $100 because it wouldn't run. Had plans to drop a crate motor in it but got to tinkering and discovered the plug wires were all connected wrong! Ran for years after that on the original engine.
Anyway, long story short, what I'm really trying to say is, your self deprecating humor and mannerisms remind of good old Red Green 😁.
"Keep your stick on the ice"
Haha that's awesome! Thanks for watching!
2:43 No, we are freaking up : "Where is the van? What happened with the van? Will the van run?" 🤣🤣🤣 I've taken this out of naphthalene, he, he, he....
I like the new truck and whatever you put on a TH-cam, I'll watch. Probably even re-watch. And if I'm bored, I'll re-watch again.
Haha thanks for watching and re watching!
The best part of it is it’s a el manual
I'm gonna watch your videos just to teach you that bullying doesn't work on me!
Harsh, but fair!
Those were my favorite bench seats to upholster . Thanks for the videos
Hello from B.C., Kyle: This looks like a potential gem of a truck.Hard to believe now, but it was brand new when I was in high school! That aside, it's one of my favourite trucks.Also looking forward to the Chicken Truck project...somewhere, in a world far away, I think George Barris is smiling down on you.
2 out of 4 tiers. ?
That '71 is a Maritime cream puff with optional in floor air conditioning. It's not much worse than my 2011 Chevy UpyoursLander. Oh well I still couldn't afford it even if it was free.
I was thinking that if you metalwork the chicken truck and sell it as a roller you might possibly break even... I know you love it when other people tell you your business. 😁
I remember looking at a hand build '34 Ford at the Grand National Roadster Show. There was a little sign beside it that said 40 hours a week for 5 years. I talked to the builder; the truck was a commission. Now that's the way to fly. I love the chicken truck concept, but I can't see it reaching completion quickly or cheaply enough for TH-cam. I hope you find a way to fund that mega project.
I am excited about the chicken truck but I am at least as excited about the C10. If you just flip it for easy money, well its your call, but why not make it real tasty and drive it for a year or so? It should be made the way we ALL want it--5-spd, short box, not too pretty, like its a nice unmolested sweetie. If its SWB it will triple in value as you know. I'd love to see how you'd do it
The Chicken Truck is gonna get some views!
If I can find an original short box frame I'll make it a short box. A truck with a cut down frame doesn't add any value in my eyes
Chicken Truck is in the house !
👍
I love that you installed a back seat into the chicken truck. The upholstery work is superb. Nice!
Thanks! I worked really hard on that!
Nice truck.
Love the 47-53 the best.! More chicken truck please!😂
More Chicken Truck coming soon!
I don’t think your an idiot. I think you are a master body man. I would like to own that 71. I’m in mid US so it probably is to far for the price.
Saskatchewan, what a great word , probably spelt that wrong
Nope, nailed it! I was watching the first few minutes and thought, "this sure looks like Sask (where I am from), then I saw the plate..
Just keep doing what you’re doing i’ve done a couple handfuls of vintage vehicles used to do rebuilders when I had a dealers license It’s nice to watch somebody else go through the rust buckets once in a while.
I am definitely looking forward to the chicken truck progress!
I love watching your vids. The “crap” metal work you do is so near perfect that I’m surprised how good it looks when you finish.
FYI, the TH-cam algorithm knows that I watch your videos, so without fail it puts your new one on my screen every time. It even puts up old ones during the week, but nowadays I don't watch so many of those, since I have watched maybe half of them already. Re: the new C10, when you get going on it, I think it is, as you say, too much of a walk in the park for a guy like you. To be sporting about it, I think you should offer to fix it with both eyes closed and one hand tied behind your back. :)
Hahah I like the blindfolded challenge idea!
Kyle , we enjoy your vids and are looking forward to seeing the chicken truck develop. God Speed!
Thank you! Chicken Truck update is coming soon!
My favourite chevy truck was the 1960...
a potential source for the fade-away fenders would be an early 50's Buick
Yeah they have a great shape to them. I will keep an eye out for one at the junkyard
I would recommend a new distributor. Pretty sure that has more play in it than whats recommended. You can see it actually come up in video just turning over. Which would cause timing issues. Keep up the metal work though. You really know your stuff on body work
Haha yeah I noticed that too!
@@CarterAutoRestyling would never thought it could do that just turning over
Looking to more of the chicken truck, I will have to go back and watch your plans for it
My favorite is the mid 6o's. The GMC has a better looking grille
I agree! Thanks for watching!
I have to agree with you that the 60-66 trucks have the coolest look. At the same time my first truck was a 70 stepside so i do have a soft spot for the 67-72s.
That's a great first truck!
Hey Kyle. I got a good front clip for ya. And maybe some other parts for the build. If ya want. You know where I am.
Ok good to know! I'll keep that in mind when I start working on it.
I would bet people that had one in the family a long time like that would be happy to see you take, even to flip, because they can know it'll get fixed right and probably serve someone else for another long time.
Kyle in the 3rd party , 2 trolly jacks don't equal 1 floor jack
Meese's is the plural of mice according to the Saturday morning cartoons of my youth.
I hate them to pieces.
I knew watching Saturday morning cartoons would pay off eventually!
Very cool when you had all three trucks lined up next to each other. I like them all but the 66 is my favourite. Thanks for the video!!!
Thanks!
Thank you Ken, I really appreciate that!
Oh it's well worth a little work not really that bad hard to find those older trucks in that shape Like you said the ones that are around they want a fortune for them and are chopped or insanely bad shape .Anyway great video thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Nice work i like it
