Love the Chevy transformation! The grill and hubcaps bring it up beautifully, beats the wagon type wheels any day. Thanks for great content, as per usual👍
Agree about the caps and steelies and yes, another excellent video. Those grills are $$ if a guy has to buy one. The chrome was peeling off mine so I took all the loose off and hit it with some black rattle can. A good look for around two dollars
You may well have picked up the deal of the whole auction w/ this one! I too like your transformation and, in this case, go w/ the hubcaps. As long as you have the wheels and caps anyway, it really is a nice vintage look. Go with it!
Color matching, very cool. Hubcaps for me. Glad to see you got it. The blue 62 grain truck with sign on the doors, somebody wanted that one really bad at $4k.
My very first car, back in 1978, was a 1969, 2-door Pontiac Catalina! It was a one owner in excellent condition! Bought it from the neighbor across the street for $300 !!! Give anything to have it now!
I'd suggest the aluminum hubcaps on steel wheels. I've always been more of a fan of hubcaps and it helps protect the lugnuts and threads better than open to elements.
Thanks for meeting the winning bidders and asking what the plans for the vehicles were. They will have a chance. It hurts to watch the scrap man win with so many great parts still on the cars and trucks.
C30 was very well bought, nice truck. Similar to my 73 C30 that has the single rear wheels. I got a set of aluminum dog dish caps from one of our fellow cruisers here. My truck was a cab and chassis that they put a Stahl utility box on. I like it as it’s not any wider than the cab. I like the steelies with caps on the big truck and like the wagon wheels more on a small truck like my 87 Ranger
Back in 78 my friend bought a beautiful black 64 Chevy Impala SS 327 two door hardtop and paid $800. One owner car belonged to a little old lady. It was a steal even back then. If I remember right I was a little green with envy.
I love that truck. I had a 78/454, and I loved the combo. I would stay with the stock wheels and the caps. I loved the blue Chevy c60 with the signage on the door, as well as the green 1953? Chevy. It looked like it had a later engine installed. Even with the 235, it would have been a great buy. People complained about those old 216 engines, but a buddy and myself, drove the crap out of one and it never let us down. I was a little surprised that the 63 SS convertible went for $15,000.
@@freedomforever6718 Yes, me too on the manual windows..although a power passenger window is nice when you need to roll it down a little to talk to someone outside, without having to scoot across the seat to roll it down..they are a pain when they fail, tough..usually down position when it's raining. I always wished they would have included a manual crank backup/override with power windows in case you needed it...
Great buy on the pickup , keep the stock wheels and hubcaps . 6 mpg is normal but them it's a real bbc and they love gas . It'll make a great trailer toter . 64 SS convertible sale price in my opinion was too high ??? The big tandem 427 truck sold really cheap , too bad I wasn't there as I would have bought it for sure . Great video .
It is a shame that you are finding all these auctions that people never get to work , enjoy, or sell them and enjoy some of the years of work that these people have been saving for decades of their lives. God bless you and their family and have a good morning this morning.
my plowtruck here in western NY is an '84 K30 single wheel,the poor this is so rusty I strapped a 5 gallon paint thinner can to the passenger door for a fuel can,but the old girl runs great and pushes snow like a champ!
At least they parked that big check grain truck inside so the wood is intact my '65 Ford was other way around. Family parked the cab inside and left wood body outside. Was a factory Ford body. Every board on the bottom side had ford oval burned into them.
I like the factory wheels and caps on that truck. Can't wait to see it cleaned up some. There were some bargains there for sure. I thought the SS Impala was decent deal. If you want to work on one, you've got a really solid and complete car to start with.
Always great to follow along on your acquisitions. I want your job! I vote for the stock Aluminum hubcaps. I'm tired of those white wagon wheels... everybody had 'em back in the day. .... My buddy had a 1976 c/20 chevy Suburban. We went to alot of rock n roll events in that rig
its just amazing the difarance between what would sell here in Canada and in the United states?? that pontiac is in WAY better shape then we could find here so I think it would stand a chance here?? I do know as a TRANS AM freak that 455 is a very desirable engine and getting harder to find..
I like the hubcaps on that single wheel 1 ton save those wagon spokes for another truck ! Like that’ll GMC at the very beginning Daddy had one with a V6 four-speed stepside long wheel base it was that strange pink coral color ! 15,000 for that SS wow ! I remember that auction you went to with the 59 impala convertibles and the 50eights were going astronomical on the prices who’d have thunk ?!
Stock please stock wheels. I'm so glad you got it please get it going to drive whe don't have trucks like that in Central Ohio they're all gone from the rust. That truck is bad ass.
I'm from Georgia...not that many here, either, and people want a mint for very rough ones...we need to "import" some of these Western trucks to East of the Mississippi before they are gone there, too...
The stuff you guys call rusty there in Missouri cracks me up. I dont even live in the rust belt and most of that looks pretty good compared to cars that have been sitting that long here.
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. ALWAYS factory wheels and hub caps. I have a 1988 GMC gas Dulley C 3500. Great old truck. 👌 NO bargains like that here in Miami ! 🏄
Wow that Chevy truck look really changed. Missing the grill was making it look ugly, like it trashed and only parts truck, but with that grill installed now it looks good enough to be a fix and drive project. Personaly I like it with the stock original wheels with caps on the drivers side. A good wash is needed.
Great buy on the Chevy p/u. Original caps, for sure! ('never liked those wagon wheel rims (coming from a guy who worked for American Racing equip, back then!))
6:25 Chevrolet and GMC trucks used the same colors as they where built on the same assembly line and went thru the same paint booth. 9:19 The Bonneville was built in Pontiac Mich. which didn't strike in 1972. The 1972 strikes were Lordstown and Norwood that affected Vega, Camaro and Firebird production.
I wonder why manufacturers went away from stacked headlights so quickly. I think the 65 Comet and the Pontiacs of that era were some of the best looking cars ever.
definitely a 366. i dont think you could get a 427 in a c/60.but anyways the hood only has 1 side scoop which means 366. the 427 tucks had one on both sides.
That's an excellent score on the C30! Really, it'd be pretty hard to go wrong on that one. I guess I see the price point on that 64 convertible, just not willing to go there myself. Kinda surprised you didn't do the 65 wagon.
I would have bid on this junky 65 wagon. Actually I need another project as much as a third leg. Maybe living in Switzerland prevents me from buying even more projects than I already have. But those cars are rare by now and I bet if you part it out you would get your money back easily. It is a wonderful piece of yard art if you like this kind of thing. There was one for sale for over a year in California with an intact body for about 3500$. I am still astonished no one bought it for that long. Silly people only buy shiny junk I guess.
Stock hubcaps on the Chevy truck..by far, over old ratty white "wagon wheels"...you know, someone should make a business of buying up some of these cheap old pickups that nobody seems to want which sell really cheap out west...and bring them east of the Mississippi where there aren't any, and everybody DOES want them, and re-sell them for a profit...we could sure use more trucks, and parts trucks out here, and the local supply has dried up, hence the astronomical prices for ratty old rusted trucks that have sat for 30 years...eye-popping how cheap, and how little interest, there seems to be in them in Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, etc..of course, once they are gone in those areas, everybody will suddenly realize,"oh, shit, I can't find them anymore", and the prices will rise there as well...what puzzles me is the apparent lack of interest, here in the southeast, pickups often, usually even, have more interest than old cars..those old Pontiacs would have gotten little interest here, for example, but everyone is looking for trucks/parts 1960-66 Chevys, 1967-72 Chevys, '53-56 Fords, 57-60 Fords, 47-55 Chevys, 55-59 Chevys,61-66 Fords, 67-72 Fords, 61-71 dodges, even 73-78 Chevy, '73-79 Fords, 72-80 Dodge trucks are gaining interest...I even see people starting to restore 81-93 Dodges, 80-96 Fords, and even 88-98 Chevy trucks(I refuse to refer to them as "OBS"..they are a modern looking truck to my eyes)...
That car needs tons of work to be anywhere near 40k. rusty doors,quarters, probably floorboards, rockers, bottom of fenders. I see 25k in body/paintwork alone and i do this for a living. Anyone that would pay over 12k for that car in that condition is nuts. Just go buy one for 30-40k that is in good condition and save yourself the headaches.
My 86 has been a real workhorse. gettin time for a engine freshen up but it still hauls better than a cord a load 10 times a year. best truck ever made except the steering column sucks.
Glad there was no scrappers. Glad you brought the 86 it's a special truck

I really like how you know your cars. There was a time I knew all the cars models and years. About 1980 I lost it.
Hubcaps Tim . Thanks for sharing . Good stuff !!! God bless you!!!! Eddy

I like the original hubcaps Mr. Goodpliers.
I like the look on the drivers side with the Chevrolet hub caps. You got a great deal man. Ausome truck.
Looks like you got the best truck there. I think that the original wheels and caps look better.

love your intelligence about classic cars , very informative thanks kurt...
That pick up will make you a nice flip. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍
You for sure got the buy of the day, that truck cleaned up will bring big money

I had a 1967 4-door, think I paid $250. Great car till I wrecked it.
I'd suggest the aluminum hubcaps on steel wheels. I've always been more of a fan of hubcaps and it helps protect the lugnuts and threads better than open to elements.
Especially in places where they use road salt in winter
best truck for sure. and my vote goes for the steel wheels and hubcaps. great find.

The good thing about crank windows is that they usually always work no matter how old.
little oil, wd 40 doesnt hurt before trying, but agree ,manual windows great

Exactly.

I like them on non-running project vehicles especially - dead battery, no problem
Agreed, I’m not a fan of power windows
Good Finds Buddy. Love the Pontiac Wagon
Great buy on the pickup , keep the stock wheels and hubcaps . 6 mpg is normal but them it's a real bbc and they love gas . It'll make a great trailer toter . 64 SS convertible sale price in my opinion was too high ??? The big tandem 427 truck sold really cheap , too bad I wasn't there as I would have bought it for sure . Great video .
The 64 Impala appears to have quite a bit of rust. Convertibles are noted for floor delete along with quarters and rockers
Keep the steel wheels with dog dish caps! Those old 427 tall deck truck engines was a steal!
I prefer the spoke wheel look on the truck you bought. Thanks for taking us along with you !
It is a shame that you are finding all these auctions that people never get to work , enjoy, or sell them and enjoy some of the years of work that these people have been saving for decades of their lives. God bless you and their family and have a good morning this morning.
You got the best truck there. Keep the hubcaps
There's a few cool projects there!!😍👍👍
my plowtruck here in western NY is an '84 K30 single wheel,the poor this is so rusty I strapped a 5 gallon paint thinner can to the passenger door for a fuel can,but the old girl runs great and pushes snow like a champ!
Nice score! Hopefully it'll run.
At least they parked that big check grain truck inside so the wood is intact my '65 Ford was other way around. Family parked the cab inside and left wood body outside.
Was a factory Ford body. Every board on the bottom side had ford oval burned into them.
That Ford 8630 with a loader was a good deal from the looks and sound of it.
Great buy on the truck!👍
I really like the two-tone paint jobs for that era pickup. Gotta go with the factory wheel 🛞 covers.
I like the factory wheels and caps on that truck. Can't wait to see it cleaned up some. There were some bargains there for sure. I thought the SS Impala was decent deal. If you want to work on one, you've got a really solid and complete car to start with.

Awesome truck. Great price, too. Well done !
Keep everything original, including wheels, for sure!
The Siverado in the barn looks very promising indeed. I would be tempted by that.
its just amazing the difarance between what would sell here in Canada and in the United states?? that pontiac is in WAY better shape then we could find here so I think it would stand a chance here?? I do know as a TRANS AM freak that 455 is a very desirable engine and getting harder to find..
That engine here in Kansas is worth more than what the car sold for no matter what code the block is for.
I like the hubcaps on that single wheel 1 ton save those wagon spokes for another truck !

I think the hubcaps look far better!
I think the Chevy Silverado was a smoking deal for $900. I like the stock look all around. It's a good-looking truck.
you got the best deal of the day
Stock please stock wheels. I'm so glad you got it please get it going to drive whe don't have trucks like that in Central Ohio they're all gone from the rust. That truck is bad ass.

Hi tim good score on the chev an stock wheels . Cheers mate🇦🇺
Love the 65 Catalina Station. I own a 65 Bonneville Convertible and a 65 Catalina 2 d HT. Unfortunately the car seems to far gone.
$100 for that 79 mustang was a great buy, there is a lot you could do with that. Probably a 4 cyl car but you have a great platform for a race car.
Love the truck
Thank you for the video 😊
The stock hubcaps are the best imo 😊
Stock wheels & caps. Looks like you had the right Plan.
6:25 Chevrolet and GMC trucks used the same colors as they where built on the same assembly line and went thru the same paint booth. 9:19 The Bonneville was built in Pontiac Mich. which didn't strike in 1972.

Looks like you got the deal of the day!!
Good buy on big block p/up. Always a market for big engine "business" trucks
More rare than the usual 350/350 combo we usually see in these trucks. My 73 is a 350 but has the SM465 granny 4 speed
Go with the facTory hubcaps buddy. They look much better. Great video
Thank you
Hubcaps. Thats the look i like. But not sure whats hot in your area for buyers preferences!
Good buy. Stock caps
Nice video
Great 86...voting for steelies with factory caps! New grill looks good. Can you do a follow up on that 64 SS if you know where that went?
nice truck timi like the hub caps best would have loved that white pontiac don’t get many of them over here in the uk
You mean the 1965 Catalina?.......or was that that the Bonneville?
the bonneville love the shape and those headlights
I wonder why manufacturers went away from stacked headlights so quickly. I think the 65 Comet and the Pontiacs of that era were some of the best looking cars ever.
They are an attractive design. I had a 1968 AMC Ambassador with them. I think that was about the end of any manufacturer offering them
I like the hubcaps
CAPS. I was hoping you would have bought the wagon or the Bonny.. Great video
The 65 Bonneville: The white interior was called "parchment". My 65 Convertible has a parchment interior with bucket seats,.
definitely a 366. i dont think you could get a 427 in a c/60.but anyways the hood only has 1 side scoop which means 366. the 427 tucks had one on both sides.
Another farm and farmers lost because no one wants to carry on what this country was built on.Its a shame. Real estate people love it.
Keep the stock wheels with the caps on. The vehicle looks better like that.
Been watching for a truck like this to come up. Not in the budget right now and that one is too complete and original for what I works do.
That's an excellent score on the C30! Really, it'd be pretty hard to go wrong on that one. I guess I see the price point on that 64 convertible, just not willing to go there myself.

That old camper special is nice
Someone IMPAL-ed their bank account to get that 64 SS. So much work. Hope it’s worth 80 large at the end, otherwise a passion project.
It's worth double and a little more . 15k was a steal.
That was good prices on trucks here in alabama they go for more plus if they set here That long there rust bucket

Preserved the 64 SS? That car would require a 50k + restoration cost which would be a financial loser every day of the week
The VIN on my C30 decodes as C20; I wonder if Tim’s truck does the same
"It's worth 40 in Cali as is!" Someone walked with a bargain!
The market is very hot on these cars right now

Wheel and hub caps all the way

My 86 has been a real workhorse. gettin time for a engine freshen up but it still hauls better than a cord a load 10 times a year. best truck ever made except the steering column sucks.
Fortunately there are guys who rebuild these columns
well bought truck mmm big block , hub caps yes , if it were mine it would be factory rally s if they fit a 1 ton
I'm glad you got that truck I was thinking I would have went to 1500$
True, even not running and no title
Original hub caps allways!
Hubcaps all the way!
What the hey !
