When I first started watching him I thought He seems like a rwally decent guy, hope he doesn't injure himself or worse, but before long you realize it's like a professional ice skater posing as a beginner, and doing the slip-slide-trip- 'perpetual- stumbling- nearly-falling several times' routine applied differently. 😎
@@johndenton5555 yep like the bumbling fool .like Chaplin .but both are damned good at what they do ..Chaplin was a great actor and derek is a great mechanic with loads of knowledge ..
When I don't paint; I clean up as much as possible on heavy rust, wash with water, wipe down with mineral spirits or gas and spray it all with satin clear coat. Prevents further corrosion and saves the history.
How do I know I really like some videos ? I watch them more than once , and find out I already left a comment.. some month or years ago😂😂 What a beautiful Rustbucket😍
Great work James! It's really great to see another old Chevy become mobile again! You're welcome for the parts. I had several extras that were just sitting around, just like Your Dad's exhaust stack. Now they will be put to good use. Enjoy...
You should name that truck "Trench Digger". Cause it looks like It is Grave Diggers uncle . Next time you use a flat head screwdriver bit on your impact driver try putting a piece of clear vinyl tubing on it, it helps keep it on the screw head and you can still see the screw to align it with the bit tip. Now I see why you said you were going to use a glass pack for the muffler. Nice smoke stack! Tim from Wisconsin.
That old eagle manufacturing gas can was made about a mile from my house in wellsburg wv, I have a lot of friends and family that have worked for eagle's over the years . they still make a quality gas can and many other products ,but they have been bought by the just rite company but still use the eagle name.
About the radiator fan pushing air forward!! Go ahead and install it for now, it will really help with any driveway test runs and I suspect that the top speed of this beauty will not be enough to interfere with the cooling. In any case you can put some cardboard or plywood in front of the grill and and the fan will push the hot air through the radiator and then out the sides behind the plywood. You might be able to reverse those blades if they are riveted to the hub. I better go back to watching the second half of the video.
Put cardboard on the front :o I know that is a terrible idea because I was thinking the same :o) And then I moved to clamping it in the vice and changing the direction with some serious heat. (From the blue spanner)
What a incredible truck. I have never seen one like it. It is alive but still needs more love. It looks like she is on the way of making a full recovery. Thanks for the video!!!!!
I love that old truck, and the challenges you sometimes overcame during the engine installation. Great stuff! There is nothing like the sound of an old Chevy work truck lugging along.
Great rubber hose trick. I was smiling as you were approaching a radiator core with a drill..."hey, I might 2nd guess myself right there.." Dig the stove bolt. Great little torque maker.
after the last episode, I thought there's no way that truck is any more messed up than it is. but you have proven me wrong again sir! Your skills at attempting to fix this abomination are god-level.
Reminds me of putting my '48 Willys -Overland StorDor bodied van back together along with putting my '47 Willys-Overland 4-63 Jeep Station wagon back together. Both fun and rewarding when you can finally drive 'em on the street! Congratulations on your efforts and outcome!
Like the way you get things done. Like the sound of the old 235 engine running and working. Grew up on the farm with those trucks, glad you are keeping her alive. That dual wheels in front will work better than going to the gym or weight room, will build big muscles
I really enjoy all the crazy projects and especially your sense of humor. Always puts a smile on my face. 50 years of doing welding & mechanic work brings back so many great memories. Thank you so much for sharing your never ending talent!!!
we must be twins separated at birth, we do the same kind of restoration on trucks and cars, i never have to go to a store and buy a nut or bolt or any kind of fastener, truck frame used to store reusable pipes and scrap metal, sheds and truck boxes full of used motor and body parts, one room is my shop is full of rebuildable motors and shelves full of carbs, starters, generators alternators, water pumps, and boxes full of miscellaneous parts. did about the same thing to an old truck like yours and drove it for an hour on back roads to a car show and they took a picture of it and put it in the club magazine along with all the beautiful restored classics from that show, and it was one of the biggest shows I have ever been to, everyone loved it, i called it my 1952 GMC TOPKICK pickup.
I had a 1952 Chevy pickup in high school with a 235 6 in it.i put dual stacks on the rack body behind the cab. It sounded great. Your audio was a trip down memory lane. If i started it in the garage it would sonetimes blow wet black carbon circles on the ceiling above.
Best channel on the web. I think we may be twins, at least when it comes to working on things.....later. Looking forward to seeing progress on this one.

Reel snarky and being self deprecating adds humor and wit to eps........no changes plz

Absolutely brilliant channel, always interesting, your ability to improvise and your ingenuity is amazing and all done with great humour 😀
That's not how commas work.
Thank you very much!
Your wit, humor, ideas, timing, technique is all top notch! What a Beast U created! Thanks...
I love me some low buck garage, jeeps and army trucks and half tracks . Definitely my Go too TH-cam channel.
32:30 those precious moments...❤ i've subscribed for life, bro...
I understand the importance of the stack!
Bucket seat 😂😂😂great job sir
Success! Onward!
those bolts with black head look like a guard rail attachment into the uprights
How do I know I really like some videos ? I watch them more than once , and find out I already left a comment.. some month or years ago😂😂
What a beautiful Rustbucket😍
MAN, if that’s not the coolest looking truck, I don’t know what is. That thing is SO bad ass!! Nice job my dude!
Accomplishments make us feel good. Thanks for the inspiration Dude.
You sir are a trip. And a good one at that. Love your attitude. Look at the problem and figure it out. 😆
You have a great attitude and a good sense of humor.
Keep on showing the rest of us how fun it can be.
That truck looks sooo good! The double front wheels really makes it special👍
If this guy was my neighbor I would want to be at his house helping every day looks very fun
Like Shar Pei puppies ... so ugly they're beautiful !!! So loving this truck !!!
By ANYONE"S judgement that was a total WIN!! It's not fair for one guy to have this much fun!!
The thing that blows my tiny mind; that you're doing this by yerself.
Great work James! It's really great to see another old Chevy become mobile again! You're welcome for the parts. I had several extras that were just sitting around, just like Your Dad's exhaust stack. Now they will be put to good use. Enjoy...
As a fellow Willys guy,I’m into the old iron fixes. Keep ‘em up!!
excellent
Willys = last name, car company
Willy's = belongs to Willy
So you're saying this old Chevy belonged to Willy?
Those bolts look like they came off a 60s Chevy pickup front bumper.
That's a beauty....and quite...a mover...😏
Custom bucket seat 👌
Of all.your creations this dually dually is my favorite. Nice work. I do appreciate you.
That old Engine sounds Good. Nice find..Great job on that old Truck. Love those old things. Great Video...

Yep I kinda like the push fan as well, keeps the dust and crap outta the rad.

Dads stack on the truck is what its all about man. That six sounded great and even better knowing the story.
What a incredible truck. I have never seen one like it. It is alive but still needs more love. It looks like she is on the way of making a full recovery. Thanks for the video!!!!!
One of the great TH-cam channels. Gets better every video. Always makes me smile.
I love that old truck, and the challenges you sometimes overcame during the engine installation. Great stuff! There is nothing like the sound of an old Chevy work truck lugging along.
This thing is big. It's ugly as sin. I freaking love it! 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Had a good laugh at things. Love your sayings. Have fun.
That truck is awesome, reminds me of something you would see in a mad max movie. The stack is a perfect addition.
Man boy I'm betting so many are jealous of that luxury interior especially the seats .🤣😂🛠️🛠️🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍🙏🙏Good job on the old Chevy!
First! Heck ya!! Great way to start a Saturday. Love your channel and sense of humor!
A big hello from Nova Scotia
Another great restomod , totally enjoy watching
Loved the video. This is a fine old truck...glad you are getting it back on its tires.
Thank you!
Cool truck!
Always a good day for low buck garage! This truck is coming along awesome👍
Great rubber hose trick. I was smiling as you were approaching a radiator core with a drill..."hey, I might 2nd guess myself right there.." Dig the stove bolt. Great little torque maker.
Yep, nailed again, excellent project 👍
Can’t wait for more.
Just great. Enjoying your channel so much. This was a big step forward, once it's driving, the rest is cosmetics. Still can't wait for more.

Being 73 and having health problems, if I were a truck, that double dually would be me!
Love your humor man!
This has become one of my #1 favorite TH-cam channels.
Great truck
Awesome job, thanks 👍
You ingenuity is very admirable!
Like the way you get things done. Like the sound of the old 235 engine running and working. Grew up on the farm with those trucks, glad you are keeping her alive. That dual wheels in front will work better than going to the gym or weight room, will build big muscles
Big sixes sound ace 👍 Diesel or petrol :o)
Grew up on the farm with those... franken-trucks that never really existed?
WOW! One fuel injection clamp on the filter.....MR. FANCY PANTS!
I really enjoy all the crazy projects and especially your sense of humor. Always puts a smile on my face. 50 years of doing welding & mechanic work brings back so many great memories. Thank you so much for sharing your never ending talent!!!
ты весело проводишь время! )
спасибо что пригласил нас на свою вечеринку )
иногда узнаю от тебя новые способы ремонта, спасибо )
On my iPad I can’t tell the difference in sound before or after the glass pack
The DOT 3 bottle comment @17:00 made me spit coffee through my nose. 🤣☕️
Great video!!
love that seat lol..
cool video
Thank you for the great content! This truck is awesome.
Great content Sir, Respect
Thank you!
That thing looks like it came off the latest Mad Max set…epic!

Every one's a winner! Yet another great video. Thanks.

Excellent progress , great to see it driving again.
Great job!
Thanks!
That is one cool truck.. I learn a lot from watching you work on your projects. Boe
Those look like bumper bolts to me.
I did not know the rubber hose trick.. I wrecked a radiator when I was 14 because the drill went through.
Awesome 🙂
I am gonna say that those carriage-style bolts you found are bumper bolts. Good show, man! Love that old truck! Keep up the awesome vids.
That's got to be one of the best rat rods I've ever seen
Another great video.
In Maine it is time to push cj2 inside the barn ,after moving everything out of the way .Keep having fun .
Best channel on the web. I think we may be twins, at least when it comes to working on things.....later. Looking forward to seeing progress on this one.
This is my dream. Just make it work with logic and whats around. Good work.
Congrats LBG on taken-us on another adventure of a low-buck dry humour. Mutt Truck drives.. HEA!!!
Love the dualies front and rear.
Great video production along with very helpful advice 👍
Never throw salvageable stuff away. The radiator hookup was like good music. Got me humming.
You and Derek at VGG need to do a build together. Yalls senses of humor together would be amazing
I absolutely love that track. take it to the show. It will get more attention than any other vehicle
James, you truly are the king of Low Buck " restorations. You just get it running somehow.
That thing is so cool don't know how i feel about the front dually but the rear dually is cool
Wonderful for bring a smile to the daily.
I love this build!
How did I just find this channel. It is now my new favorite. Thanks for putting this together. The humor just cracks me up. Great channel.
You are amazing and very entertaining....
Thank you!
