Looking forward to seeing this project progress. It is amazing to see it moving under its own power so soon. Been following since Scott pulled it out of the trees. After all, other than the major structural damage she's mint.
This video has changed my life. I never realized that I was setting points and valves and plugs so incorrectly. I got my first one (a 52) in 1973. Sigh. Keep up the good work!!
Great video! I have to admit my main reason for tuning in is to listen to your running humorous commentary that is dryer than a Southern Baptist church picnic.
"Make sure to drink plenty of water when working, because I said so!" -Nosy Hydration Crew hosebag. I'm psyched to see this truck saved, predominantly because it was so rough. Well played, young Jedi, and cheers from the States.
It is always nice to know that you're not alone in the world, bolts that only turn a 1/4" and break when they are just about out, God love ya brother, I have been there and feel your pain.
Honestly, saw how this piece of junk was dug out of it's resting place in dirt and trees. But I never would have guessed that someone might try to save it! Thanks for working your butt off making it a vehicle again!
Having watched the video of Scott and Colin hacking the GMC out of the hedgerow, seeing it move own its power - even do work! - is a spiritual experience. Your choice in seating? Very French.
I love old pickups, especially from the late 1940's because my dad drove Chevys home from his job during my youth in the 1950's. I wish I could afford one of yours since you do such an amazing job of restoring them. No doubt that you show them more love and affection than I could myself. But then I am only a wishful thinker and you are a veritable wizard of metal working. Please continue to show us your talent and make these old cars and trucks look like they did when they drove off the showroom floors (or perhaps the new truck lots outside....)
Kyle I’m really looking forward to this project . Hopefully others feel the same. I truly appreciate your time and effort put into all your videos, thank you.
Oh getting it running was the easy part. The real battle is the couple hundred hours of welding and thousands of hours of scraping, sanding, fitting etc.
Thanks for the chuckles (and outright guffaws) I got out of this video. Your concise description of how to adjust valves was one of the best I've ever seen! And, from where I sit, your work on the 235 Chevy engine was unusually successful, probably, as you noted, because you did the work when the front clip was off the truck. The old front-clip-off-the-truck ploy ALWAYS works! well done! Greetings from CA, the land of $7.00/gal gasoline!
I just love watching you transform metal, on old cars and trucks. I think this GMC project will be a great, repair to watch. You have got me hooked on your channel, although maybe you could smile once in a while, its not all gloom and doom. You have a very good talent, and I am glad that your willing to share it. Thank you, Mark
I loved your attention to detail and precise initial analysis of the engine repair. Sorry it didn't work out, but your solution was a good one. Happy trails of twisted metal in your future !!!
Good day brother. I started a TH-cam channel with my wife and I had a subscriber tell me about your channel so you have a new subscriber, looking forward to seeing your progress on this project 😀. We have a very small channel and we get a few trolls 😀, with that being said most our subscribers are incredible people so that makes it all worthwhile. So you have a great day brother and in my mind you are doing a incredible job making this old truck live again so hats off to you.
Finally! All the "project trucks" from the '40s I have ever looked at have been in this condition. I thought it was just my shortcomings in picking them. Glad to know that all those fellers who have the 'look at it and it runs' trucks were just lying. I have to ask - did you remember to replace the coil fluid? It can sometimes go bad in those old GMC's, and while it will run it effects top performance ... 😎 Good to see her a runner. Mint! Concours ready, in fact. Thanks for the look into a day in the life.
Great video. Here at Lazy Hound Racing I have decided to allow the entire staff to watch your videos on the clock. We are really looking forward to this series. The 235 will live forever. When I bought my 53 3100 in SoCal in 1980 the 235 used 1 quart of oil for every tank of gas. It was my daily driver construction work truck for another 9 years. In that time I drove it stock from LA to northern Indiana and back 5 times. I was a much younger man then. I don't think it has enough compression to blow up. It still runs today. You and I have about the same safety standards and I've been doing this for 50 years and I'm fine, pretty much. We also have similar equipment moving skills. It's great to see you young'uns save these trucks. Joseph and Mary send their love to Allen and Poe. Mary is an excellent fly hunter. Thank you for your time.
Cool. I bought a '61 Biscayne/235 2-door from the back row at an AMC dealer back in '73 for $100 and drove it for 7 years. Classic beater that never let me down.
@@CarterAutoRestyling She would be more than happy to do that. When she gets in the mode nothing is out of limits. Be it the coffee table or my crotch if it's in the line of attack it's traction. She has an advantage of her giant aerodynamic ears that help control her in flight maneuvering. Also that giant sexy nose contains a huge mouth and lips with Basset Hound drool all over it that can rival any spider web for stickiness. She occasionally catches one and makes a funky face like "that taste like fly". Joseph just looks at her like "what did you expect it's a fly?" It's similar to the look he gives me when I fall down like "what did you expect walking around on two legs?". I hope you picked up some tips you can pass on to the boys. I can send you several gallons of drool if you want some. They seen to have an unlimited supply.
Great work sir. I plan on putting my 235 in my 54 Chevrolet 210 soon. plan to have it back on the road by December. Thankyou for the inspiration and tips with this old junk. Always a treat. Cheers - Kory
Been watching this since Scott dragged it out and awaiting your fixing it up,as a teenager I inherited a '50 Chevy pickup from my uncle but it turned out to be more of a project than I could tackle, the old Stovebolt six you put in it sounds pretty good to me, waiting for the next video 👍
Good to see it able to be moving under it's own power. I've had many projects which were non- running and it makes it a LOT easier to get things done when they can be started vs. pulled or pushed.
I found your channel because of Scott CWM. I binged watched your videos & I love your sense of humor and you are an awesome metal repair body man. Thanks for the content & keep up the good work.
Well done, I’ll be watching
I know it's not much Kyle, but this should help with a few cut-off wheels or a padded lawn chair for more comfort. Keep this project going!
Thanks Travis! Your generosity is much appreciated!
I personally would stand longer in line to watch you do rust repair than I would stand in line to see any Olympic curling finals.
Kyle deserves more credit than that. Curling is almost a non-sport, like watching the grass grow. Kyle transforms old clunkers.
Wow thanks, I think? Haha!
48 through 54 is my favorite body style of Chevy/GMC. I'm so glad that there are people as skilled as you out there saving many of them.
My boss had one of these. We mowed lawns - thank you for the humour and the good memories !
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching you bring the 48 back to life. I was literally laughing out loud. Thanks Kyle 😂
I'm so glad you got a laugh out of this one! Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to seeing this project progress. It is amazing to see it moving under its own power so soon. Been following since Scott pulled it out of the trees. After all, other than the major structural damage she's mint.
I came to this channel too because of Scott!
Thanks for following along! I'm kind of looking at it the same way haha
This video has changed my life.
I never realized that I was setting points and valves and plugs so incorrectly.
I got my first one (a 52) in 1973.
Sigh.
Keep up the good work!!
I try to always produce life changing content! Even if it doesn't change lives for the better Haha
Great video! I have to admit my main reason for tuning in is to listen to your running humorous commentary that is dryer than a Southern Baptist church picnic.
Your accomplishment is worthy of admiration, Kyle! I am sure the truck thought it would never again move under its own power.
Thanks! The truck probably isn't too happy about being put back to work
"Make sure to drink plenty of water when working, because I said so!" -Nosy Hydration Crew hosebag. I'm psyched to see this truck saved, predominantly because it was so rough. Well played, young Jedi, and cheers from the States.
Thanks for the tips, I promise I'll stay properly hydrated from now on!
Cool truck, obviously super rough. But I'm intrigued and this will be cool to follow along. Good luck brother.
Thank you very much! I need all the luck I can get!
Music to my ears, from a old 6 cylinder chevy, I grew up with these pick-ups, they were family favorites.
That's a nice morale boost getting it running and moving.
Sure is!
It is always nice to know that you're not alone in the world, bolts that only turn a 1/4" and break when they are just about out, God love ya brother, I have been there and feel your pain.
Glad to know there is someone else out there who is suffering alongside me haha
Glad to know there is someone else out there who is suffering alongside me haha
I love hearing an old truck cranking during a challenging start!
It's great to see the Master at work, and in only 50 minuites have the GMC driveing again...you are the man....I look foward to your next lesssion...
It's just that easy! Now onto hundreds of hours of welding!
Honestly, saw how this piece of junk was dug out of it's resting place in dirt and trees. But I never would have guessed that someone might try to save it!
Thanks for working your butt off making it a vehicle again!
Thanks for watching, although it's still a ways off from being classified as a vehicle haha!
Practically an ICON restoration!
Having watched the video of Scott and Colin hacking the GMC out of the hedgerow, seeing it move own its power - even do work! - is a spiritual experience. Your choice in seating? Very French.
You must be very happy that it runs, drives, stops and tows! Scott at CWM is definitely smiling about this!
Stops? haha I wish, but that's asking a bit much
Thank you Kyle. Excelent sense of humor to go with it.
Put me down as a member of the laughed my but off squad. Kyle your the best!😂
Glad you got a laugh Al!
It moves itself again. That's a win in my book.
Looking forward to more.
Thanks, I'll take all the small victories I can get!

Please continue to show us your talent and make these old cars and trucks look like they did when they drove off the showroom floors (or perhaps the new truck lots outside....)
Thanks Gary! I usually just make them look like they were on the used car lot when they were 20 years old
Your opening humor was classic dry humor at its best!!! Two thumbs up!
Thanks Dennis!
Hard to believe this is the same truck you got, what, 3 months ago. Incredible!
Well I only started working on it a week ago so not much has changed!
Glad to see you working on it and I’ll be tuning in!👍😀
Kyle I’m really looking forward to this project . Hopefully others feel the same. I truly appreciate your time and effort put into all your videos, thank you.
Thanks Russ! I hope you'll enjoy the series on the 48!
That's half the battle The GMC it being a Driver, Scott will be proud of you. It's a field farm find 48 GMC
Oh getting it running was the easy part. The real battle is the couple hundred hours of welding and thousands of hours of scraping, sanding, fitting etc.
Can’t wait to see more.
THIS WILL BE VERY INTERESTING !!!
Kyle, this is quite a massive undertaking.
It's definitely an ambitious project haha

Thanks Robert, I'm glad you got a laugh out of this one! You folks in California still have it better than we do in Canada!
Hey Kyle! Thanks for the shoutout! Great to see the old GMC out and running. Already earning it's keep moving stuff around Carter acres.
Thanks Mart! No sense in having a truck if it's not able to put in a days work!
I just love watching you transform metal, on old cars and trucks. I think this GMC project will be a great, repair to watch. You have got me hooked on your channel, although maybe you could smile once in a while, its not all gloom and doom. You have a very good talent, and I am glad that your willing to share it. Thank you, Mark
Thank you for what you are about to do to save this. Looking forward to this series.
Thanks very much Ron! I hope you enjoy the series!
Never thought this would run under its own power again when it was pulled out of a field. Remarkable.
I had my doubts too!
I love seeing the channel crossover
Looking forward to seeing you bring this old truck back to life. Your off to a good start with it running and driving. Well done
Thanks, still a long ways to go!
nice to see it moving around its self and the other one under it's own power nice work
The first half had me absolutely rolling, reminded me of some of the early Red Green videos
Thank you! I'm a big fan of Red Green haha
I'm really keen on seeing how it will move on. Go for it!
What a proud day Carter auto restyling way too go thanks 😊
Thanks!
Trully looking forward to the rebuilding of this truck. Yes, and learning more about metal work. Thank you for sharing four work.
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to this series!
Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy it
I'm up for it! Let's go!!!
If it can be fixed I know you can do it.great work kyle.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Willie!
I loved your attention to detail and precise initial analysis of the engine repair. Sorry it didn't work out, but your solution was a good one. Happy trails of twisted metal in your future !!!
Looking forward to seeing the videos on this project
When it comes to engine mechanics, your attention to detail will serve you well - keep up the good work!
Can’t wait to see you start on it
Keep going Kyle..looking forward to seeing the next installment!!

Went back to watch this after starting in the later restoration videos. Wow, you have come a long way. Great series!

Thank you! I hope you will enjoy the series on this truck!
Looking forward to the rest of this build.
Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy it!
You Can Do It!!!!....
Runs and drives ❤awesome!

I really really hope Scott gave you that damn thing. Great content as usual.
Can't wait to watch the project. Thank you!
Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy it!
Can’t wait to see the progress on this truck. You are a genius
I think it's a neat old truck and I want to see more videos .... those old stovebolts always run .......bring on the welding ......
remember the first day Scott went out look at it GREAT SAVE GUY'S
Thanks!
🤔🤔🤔❤️the mouse trap absolutely put a grin on my face after lifting the valve cover🤣😎
Progress! Good to see. You are doing well!!
Carter auto Love All Those videos Keep up the good work billy Bob Uniontown pa
Thank you!

Awesome, I hope you're able to drive it in December too!

Thanks Roger!
I'd Love to see this truck brought back from the grave. Looking forward to it!
Thanks Paul, I hope you enjoy the series!
Looking forward to seeing more progress!
27:30 it’s alive! It’s alive! 👍👍
Great video! Very enjoyable - from plug removal and valve train reveal to landscaping. I try to watch everything you produce.
Thanks Bruce! I tried to include all the important stuff in this video!
Good to see it able to be moving under it's own power.

Thanks for watching!
keep up the good work, I'm learning a lot.
Hello, also very helpful ist the repair of the mousely clutch with a Dental Tool :-)
I'm glad you think it's helpful! Haha
Your best video so far, worthy of ichiban moto at his finest!
Thanks for saying so, even though it doesn't look like it, I spent a lot of time putting this video together!
I have 48 Chevy pickup that is my project truck. It probably came out of a farm field about like yours. It is great to see work on this 48 GMC.
Cool, good luck with your 48!
Glad you got the switch completed. It runs and moves.
It kinda does! Thanks for watching!
Really looking forward to this project. I will be following along. 👍
I’m looking forward to this one.
I hope you'll enjoy the series!
I will be watching the whole series! And anything else you post! Love the work you do! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it!
Very educational, loved it, can't wait to see more on that Chevy I mean that GMC
I'm excited to see what you can do.
Found my new mechanic.
Thankfully you are saving that truck. Yes it would be easier to crush it and it will get a 2nd chance as you mentioned.
Thanks Bob, I'm glad I have the opportunity to fix it up a bit!
thats the coolest press ive ever seen
Haha thanks! It's a little more robust than the Harbor Freight model
Thank you.
