My SM 465 short bed '70 Chevy K-10 lived its whole life in Wyoming until last year. It's job was to pull a two-horse, goose-neck trailer to events, and that's it. Bed floor, rear cab mounts, and rockers gonna need some new steel spliced in there some day.... She's on her second motor (350) now and has 197k miles on the clock; yet still runs great... Currently trying to find/chase down a nagging battery-draining electrical short... argh... but still a lot of fun. You've got some REALLY cool trucks, esp the C-20....Totally loved this video! A+++++
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ those Washington State farm trucks are in concourse condition compared to what is available here in New England, you find completely useless rusted out junk or outrageously priced road ready vehicles. Anything worth restoring is way overpriced because of their popularity today. Keep on bringing these beauties back to life ✌️🇺🇲
Speaking of farm trucks. I’ve got two old farm trucks and one farm truck in training right now lol. 77, seventy eight and 79 chevys. All 3/4 tons. Only one 2wd
Here in Idaho and working on a full set... 70 K10 (unholy amalgamation of donor parts), 71 (original clean), 72 (frame off resto) K20s, and a rough 69 K20 chassis cab that I just snagged. On the hunt for a 68 Blazer and a 67 Suburban. I do have a question though. Have you found a good disc conversion kit for the closed knuckle 44s? I've tried to get in touch with "the ram man" for about a month, and that $1600 HP kit sounds like it's a 50/50 on how much grinding and machining is necessary... Appreciate any guidance yall could give
No sorry, I do not know of a good disc conversion for a closed knuckle set up. I just swap to open knuckle disc from a 71-2 or keep running the factory set up they have
Interesting, a lot of stuff that I'd been looking at for years but hadn't clicked. In your travels have you ever run into a Longhorn with a longhorn length appropriate camper shell? Thanks!
@@GoldCityTrucks Tell him why---that's part of why you trouble shoot stuff for people on a channel. It is because from corner to corner and front to back and side to side there is a word called "flex". The metal floors are more rigid --therefore carrying alot more support ability. And on the real high dollar trucks we welded a thin bright-tread patch that we made to look about as factory as you could imagine. Thx. Jim Merry X-Mas.

Got my 69 running and stopping and took it on a gravel road cruise. Had a blast! I completely understand the love for these old dogs.
Perfect patina on those trucks. All 4 of them are cool and each of them can tell a different story.😎
That's how I liked my 68 4x4's, factory steel wheels with 7.50-16LT Power King Super Tractions.
Nice.truck

Stuff lives forever in the Columbia River Basin and desert plateau. Very dry.
Wish I could just spend all day working on old trucks like those.

PS there is a sweet rough Eastern Idaho farmtruck on marketplace this morning in Victor, ID and all of the things from the video ring true.
Yes I have a longhorn canopy I run on mine from time to time
@@mikeobiz1 Soon to be "was" 😈 Trailer is hooked up just waiting on the reply
Those cabs always had a dent from the box rubbing.
Yes, another common problem on these trucks! Even worse if they were a wood bed floor.
