I hope who ever gets this truck keeps it original as I love old stuff un messed with

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

LOVE IT THAT THE OLD MAN IS PASSING ON HIS KNOWLEDGE TO THE YOUNG ONE

[@ronaldmiller2740]

VERY MUCH!!! THAT'S HOW I LEARNED SOMEONE SHOWED ME ALSO WHEN I WAS 10YR.S OLD IN 1967..

[@IanCampbell-sh3si]

The knowledge and expweience the older guy has cant be replaced we are lucky to see it

[@p52893]

Young dudes think they can solve everything with google.

[@fishaussie9112]

Great to see the patient between the old and young mechanics

[@xuanthanh4527]

USA number one

[@roberteshaw9520]

The stylists back then made some cool looking trucks, and they actually used real metal!

[@ericbilney8617]

Good to see you have a young mechanic willing to learn and work AND has some personality!

[@jstar1000]

I personally hate short beds, to cut it down from a real long bed truck is sick in my opinion. Jeeze!

[@waynemanning3262]

I love short beds! Had a 57 gmc short bed way back when, but I agree with you that to cut a long bed down would be sacrilege

[@johnrice7350]

The old engine know how. Love the old mechanics better than techs. Mechanics know how to fix a part. Techs only know how to replace them.

[@doncroitor3248]

Great video! Nice to teach younger folks how to do things ! I am 62 and a mopar guy been running 64/65 barracuda for a long time and I learned alot! Great stuff! Am a Chef have been teaching for a long time, patience is a good thing, doesn’t matter what profession you are in, being able to teach is a great talent!

[@Ironcitygarage]

[@douglascorley6630]

Thank you for saying saving them awesome vehicles

[@79tazman]

You should of took the valve cover's off before forcing the engine over if you would of had the valve covers off you would of saw it was the valves and not the pistons that was stopping the engine from turning over.

[@knoester7714]

I like the way the older gentleman is using the vehicle as a teaching time for the younger guy to gain knowledge and to become better at his craft

[@rickhirtle1158]

Great job on teaching , staying calm makes it so much easier to learn from. Good knowledge is hard to come by.

[@670tazman]

Awesome

[@Geoff321]

Why is he tapping on the pushrod. Tap on the valve spring. You could brake the lifter

[@vincentbasso4903]

Iron City puts out such great stuff thank you

[@MidnightinSavannah]

Y'all keep on saying LS but a 9.1 compression Pontiac 455 would be the way to go.

[@tomwinkle1597]

That motor in it would probably fly with a little love.

[@AndysDogHouse]

[@stan525]

i like this teaching technique, you mostly see this in a family type setting.

[@Ironcitygarage]

Glad you liked it!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

So mainly for the most part a carb rebuild is about what it really needs as far as keeping it short of moving around.

[@DevonFerguson.]

I hope no one chops this truck up and ruin it.

[@johnanthony9416]

Pull the heads fill the cylinders with aceiline light em up with a propane torch bump the starter until it will free up some times that will work. that clay is a beast love the old school mechanics

I love these trucks.. I wish the dash were like the ford f-100s but these are actually super reliable for a classic car.. looks like the Pontiac 347?

[@TheFordGuy88]

Lesss goooo

[@user-mm4bb7wt8u]

Years ago i put Champion spark plugs in my 1946 Chevrolet and i still had a miss so i put my old spark plugs back in one at a time i still had a miss so i took one out at a time and put a new spark plug in in its place then it ran good so i put the rest of the new spark plugs in one at a time and started it up until it missed. I found the new plug that would not fire. I took the new plug back to the auto store and they did not believe me so they checked the number on the spark plug to make sure it was the spark plug they sold me. It was so they gave me a new plug!! After they put it on their spark plug tester!!

Use aero krol penetrating oil. The best I've seen. Ken Burrow Oklahoma.

[@speeddemon865]

My dad owned an old 56 GMC Pickup that is a spitting image of this one. He sold it to a gentleman in Australia and was to paint and restore it. Now yall said you bought this through an auction in Nebraska, so I'm wondering if it got bought from the man in Australia. And auctioned off. I believe my dad sold his truck in 2010. Do you know the back storty on this truck? I would like to know more if you do

[@anchor2056]

When you sell these vehicles where do you put them up for sale at? Looking for a old truck around this year. Something to tinker around with. Looking for something I can keep original and the Vitinha look to it.

[@carldrexler7883]

[@iamgermane]

[@larrymorgan5265]

You should get a wireless mic that will Bluetooth to your camera. It's really hard to hear you sometimes, especially when you turn away from the camera.

[@josephnavarro3620]

Can anyone tell me why the floor is wet in the shop, why does it look like it's raining on the shop floor? Thanks it's bothering me

[@zackpalmer6474]

Thats so crazy I just bought one of those trucks today out of a junk yard for crazy cheap. I have a question for anyone who knows anything about them is there any way to change that mustache looking front grill and bumper to the 56 chevy style?

[@joetallon4968]

Looks like a 1955!

[@Ironcitygarage]

Look at most recent video that’s a 55

[@kevin6154]

[@p52893]

Carb needs a rebuild

[@Jamestfarrell]

I think that the rocker studs are screwed in on Pontiac engines rather than the Chevys due to the increased power of the engines.

[@fredkaminski3668]

The dude in the red sweatshirt needs to quit smoking in the shop! Fire hazard!

[@rainman7992]

yeppers, if ya throse enuff parts and time and stuff at it...hell, anything can run...the 24,000 dollar question should be, can you convert it to an EV and make it go ?

[@Ironcitygarage]

That is happening in the hot rod world already believe it or not

[@jimmontrealca.9000]
