In Nov of 1970 I had just joined the military about a week prior to that.. So while I was getting yelled at pretty regular, your grandpa was working on his 54... If you have access to any rust converter, i think I would touch up a few places, especially the floors on the inside of the truck.. Enjoyed the video, hope everything goes well... Take care and God Bless....

I'm with you I like the shiny paint look

I sure hope that at some point in the future, you go back and get that other truck. 5 window cab, radio, heater, chrome grille and bumper. And all the extra sheet metal in the back. I'd love to have that one. Not saying this one isn't great though. I love these old GM trucks. There must have been millions of them sold because they sure are plentiful. To find one as rust-free as yours is a God-send.

i like those wheels on them trucks, I wish i had a set for my dads old truck i am rebuilding.

Great video…great truck…great work done on it. Quick question….were there any equalizer/spreader bars on the rear for the emergency brake…or is there a transmission brake on it? Can’t wait for the next step…thanks…Mac

nice yeah I'm old school not a patina type but good job.

Love seeing this old girl come back to life! Beautiful job on the gauges and harness, sweet! 👍

Have you had any luck sourcing glass for it yet? You are doing a great job on bringing the old girl back to life.

Well that was an interesting video. Nice to see the whole family getting in and helping out. Look forward to part two on the old truck. That '48 truck down in the canyon shed would make a good parts truck. Would the glass out of it fit yours?

Very sweet old girl! I own a stock 49 3100, so I know how special these are! How cool that it's been in the family all these years! Thanks for sharing this! 👍👍

What an awesome truck! I love that you're saving some family history. This is my favorite year of Chevrolet trucks. I have a '54 2-ton that my grandfather bought new. I grew up driving that truck on the farm, and it's still in great shape. It's always been kept inside when not in use. I recently found a '54 5-window pickup cab that I'll be rebuilding this year. I'm still on the lookout for a 1/2-ton frame to put it on. I'll be following this build. I liked and subscribed.

It has been my dream to restore a Chevy pu form the '47 to '54 body style. you have done some excellent work. God bless you.

Your granddad leaving notes .I love it 👌🏻👏🏻

Ive used Classic since day one. Very happy with them. A truck that nice I think you should paint,Im not into patina either. Your gauges look great , thats something I havent done on my truck yet. Best of luck.

Great video and great history. Love that this truck is staying in the family. Can't wait to see the next video.

You are doing a beautiful job on this truck. Thanks for keeping it all original.

Enjoying the journey 🙂

the music is loud. I turn it up to hear what you are saying and turn it down because the music is twice as loud as you talking. I enjoyed the video, and I subscribed. I love the AD Chevrolet trucks!

I want you to know I appreciate this video! I recently was able to acquire my great grandpas 1954 3100. I was searching videos on this topic and that’s how I found yours. Ironically, we live in Warner, Oklahoma and you likely drive right by me on your way home to Virginia. Matter of fact, I have eaten at that Brahms many times and that particular one makes the best breakfast burritos, lol. I plan to start my similar story soon and I’m gonna subscribe to your channel and keep you in the loop. I may need to reach out to you with questions. Thanks again!

Great job Joe and Luke! Loved the video and look forward to updates on the old pickup.

Slagell rigging at its finest-from the shop and tools to the boat tank and the used starter 🙂 On another note, I think Grandma used to call the pickup "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" Anyway, thanks for the video!

WOW. He obviously a talented guy. At his age he walks up and plays those complicated notes from memory. Even his brother & rather were smiling. Bravo.

Can we have an update on where this guy is now? We need to know how good he is now!

Needs a good tuning and to be moved into the house! That little space heater isn't going to protect the instrument. And of course getting inside it will sound much better.

Difference between grand and baby grand?? Luke what entertainment...thank you for your talent...you have put us in the spirit of Christmas!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄

Outstanding

Wow!

Lucky lad hope it’s gonna be moved inside that little portable heater isn’t gonna cut it couldn’t see what make it was if u can afford a baby grand then u have room in ur house never heard of such a thing that was a first

WOW just seeing this young man! He is so talented! Bless you all! <3

2:36 if i got him that i would expect more then a bloody yay. Kids these days.

Oh, yes! The first tune he plays is the theme song from The Peanuts. Love it.

Lucky!

hes good

Can anyone tell me what song is the second one he played??plz

I wiuld be much more grateful than just saying yay and then its never played again

I love it

The names Luke . Always has glasses

Love pianos

Is it a bit out of tune I'm not sure if it's just me but either way a beautiful piano

This is awesome!!

Good looking ride guys. That rock scramble up top is a bit much...I have never ridden that. And yes, I have passed the trail head more than once.

Jesus loves Mountain Bikers a little more then most people. Am i right or am i right. We are his favorite source of entertainment!!!!
