Picasso Patina🙃

[@Ironcitygarage]

When people say our prices are high It always Reminds me of the story about the woman who approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, “That will be $10,000.” But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied. “No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.” My thoughts on what Pete does at Iron City Garage. -Shane (Video editor)

Damn! That guy sure know's how to drive that little tractor thing.

[@ponyrang]

Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. I wish you every day of your development. Have a happy day!

[@chrisackerley1842]

The way Bill gets this old workhorse moving under its own power is a beautiful thing to watch. In this age of mass-produced, computer-controlled, luxury-rotted, plastic throw away "mommymobile" pickups that never carry anything heavier than the week's groceries, it is a true privilege to watch such a virtuoso of his craft transform a 66 year-old truck from scrap to running veteran of nearly seven decades work. I hope the next owner preserves the awesome patina on this old beast.

Some trucks have strong nostalgic appearance and appeal if you had passion of truck and loco steam engines during childhood days and today if you see such trucks working rather meticulously cared back to life ...that reverberates nostalgic moments of childhood and just amazes that how time passed and these engines emit same aroma of petrol ...and the sound. Amazing time capsules which makes you refreshed with zest of childhood days.

[@670tazman]

It's Mator from the Cars cartoon! LOL!!!

[@timothyroatenberry1274]

Our oldest son has a 55 Chevy pickup this body style he's redoing ! He's redone the paint, six to v8 automatic, just ordered the anti sway bar 10 minutes ago for Christmas LOL ! He got it honest from dad & grandpaw ! 👍✌

Just wanted to add that those bars he cut off the dash to the frame are a GMC option. Gmc 100 is a short bed. Gmc 150 is a long bed

Great video and truck. Your guy sure likes to smoke with a open fuel source in engine compartment and no jack stands when under truck. Safety first guys, but loved seeing him get her running and driving again!

i could really enjoy working there except winter then i would have to come back to southeast alabama

[@snoopu2601]

Going to give that old GMC a new life. I always was a GMC guy I owned two of them. I was wondering out of all those truck's why they chose that one?

[@zonie1953]

GMC is the real truck division of General Motors ! 😊

[@micahhenry4998]

I had a 66 Chevy long bed was all original solid cab and fenders just needed the floor in the bed redone it had 73'000 original miles they don't make them like that anymore

[@ricardini7338]

seria muy bueno; una restauración completa, dejando esa reliquia, como cero km.

[@feliperios9014]

Yo la dejaré como esta original Yo tengo la mía 1958 fleet option y la e dejado como la encontré pero con la opción qué ahorita la trigo en el trabajo de Rancho

[@dja1353]

I think I’ve seen one of these “fleet options “ before. Back then I thought the grill was something an owner put on.

[@feliperios9014]

That is everybody's reaction when they see these type of trucks I own a 1958 fleet option and I get that very frequently

[@Carrilleptbreak]

First time on this channel. Just 1 question: Has the dude in the Iron City shirt EVER been to Galveston Texas? If so, thanks and it's been a long time since we spoke, so to speak.

[@charleshogan]

If this is truly a 56 I should of had the small little strip on the hood I always was told that by my uncle my first truck was a 56 GMC with the granny 4 speed is looked just like this old truck but it had them small little strip s running down the hood and a 4 speed in floor had big 6 clyder motor was a serious pickup truck I wish thy still was making the basic truck s now

[@charlesyoung7436]

The hood could have been replaced, or it might have come from the factory to use up other model year parts. Rick from Classic Truck Rescue in Oregon has a 1958 GMC fleet option pickup with odd details like that. It has the same type of expanded metal grill, two headlights in fenders meant for quads, a delete plate to cover up the interior light space, and a Chevrolet "pizza slice" speedometer cluster that is badged "GMC." He believes that leftover parts went into these trucks which then got worked to death and scrapped early, leaving very few survivors. The asking price of this one as a complete runner with new brakes would support that conclusion.

[@jjtt7408]

YOU WOULD THINK AFTER DOING THE SAME SET UPS ON THESE OLD BASIC CARS AND TRUCKS AS THAT'S A CONMAN PART OF YOUR EVERY DAY WORK YOU WOULD HAVE A DESIGNATED GAS CAN THE RIGHT SIZE ( SAY A HALF A GALLON OR ONE GAL. ) AND ITS A TIN GAS CAN / WITH A ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP SET UP WITH A SMALL 12 VOLT BATTERY PACK SAY A M/C BATTERY AND EXTRA LONG HOSES WITH A GAS FILTER FOR THE GAS LINES / ALL FIXED ON A BOARD SET UP / PROPER AND MADE ADJUSTABLE TO USE ON ANY MOTOR / YOU CAN SET THE RIG ON A FENDER OR EVEN ON THE FLOOR ALL SET TO GO / SO , NO LOOKING FOR A PLASTIC SODA BOTTLE TO CUT OPEN AND SPILL ALL OVER TRYING TO MAKE IT STAND UP RIGHT AND RUN OUT OF GAS JUST AS IT ALMOST STARTS / HOOKING UP A GAS FILTER AND FUEL PUMP AFTER LOOKING FOR THEM IT WOULD SAVE YOU A LOT OF B/S

Why

Why don't you set the timeing

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

The engines in the GMC are not the same as the chevy sixes. They are about 3 inches longer and are 228 -248- 270- or 302, The V8 engines where Pontiac engines. We sold a 55 GMC with the 287 Pontiac V8. We still have a 56 317 GMC/Pontiac V8 engine.

[@larrywoodruff7530]

I did not know that.....

[@feliperios9014]

Yes I think your right I have 1958 GMC FLEET OPTION I found and it has the 270 grate work horse have had lots of fun with it can't belive its stell on the road people say with that motor

[@christoskonstadinidis7697]

Try to do videos around 20-30 mins, now vids are too long and too tiring. Awsome content.

[@Ironcitygarage]

Most video lengths really depend on what gets done to the truck. I’m walking a very thin line with what people want to see. I try my hardest right now to keep them under 45 mins. I’m still working on the best way to give a consistent final project. Even though I think they have been coming out pretty well and feeling complete it still needs a little more tweaking. Thank you for the feed back though always appreciated!

[@markblackburn8685]

I'd rather watch a 50 minute video of something going from nothing to running and driving to 20 minutes of watching someone clean a vehicle that is exactly the same as it was when they got it except now it's clean. Unless you got some cleaning secrets, count me out. Great job

[@randallbeasley646]

$12,500 wow what a sweet deal.

[@diemaschine2287]

the way the cab and bed were swaying when he pulled it from that yard.. sorry “barn” I would say the frame is probably shot.

[@Ironcitygarage]

Not even close. When’s the last time you drug a truck sitting 50 years with flat tires? They all boogie like that.

[@HondoCalhoun69.75]

No problem asking $12500. Any problem telling what you paid before expenses? No...not really expecting an answer. And if you did say I doubt anybody would believe it. And anybody giving that much I guarantee has more money than sense.

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

How much is that $200 truck? 👨‍🔧

[@Ironcitygarage]

we aren't playing with no RC cars here buddy;)

[@tomwinkle1597]

Seriously $12,500? Wow. I was thinking 4 or 5 k maybe. Guess I have been out of the loop too long. Lady quoted 10k yesterday for a cutlass parts car..

[@Ironcitygarage]

This car runs like a dream too just fired it up today on one turn! There's not a lot of cars that you can pull from a barn and get to run as nicely as this one does

[@feliperios9014]

I think its a sweet deal good job very rare find I have a 58 fleet option and people really don't now the difference between fleet option and regular 58 truck they are rare like I would say 58 registered in California maybe 100 if any with all original options

[@ryanbeyea2834]

What's up

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

TO ALL YOU CHEAPOS. YOU ARE REALLY SHOWING HOW UNEDUCATED YOU ARE ABOUT VINTAGE VEHICLES. YOU FORGOT TO ADD SHIPPING COST, LABOR COST, PARTS, COSTS AND TIRES AND FINDING THE VEHICLES. I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS GUYS PRICES ARE EXTREMELY FAIR MARKET VALUE. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FAIR MARKET VALUE? I DIDN'T THINK SO. I'VE BEEN IN THE RESTORATION BIZ FOR OVER 20 YRS. SO, YES HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE.

[@Ironcitygarage]

Thank you someone who understand!

[@feliperios9014]

Absolutely well said finally someone that doesn't understand Vintage and old vehicles I have a 1958 GMC fleet option Which I have left all original from the day I bought it found it at a junkyard was almost going to be crushed I saved it I restored I restored it just a little bit for it to be functioning on the street now it's my farm truck I can't tell you how many compliments I have had and what people don't understand and people do understand what fleet option means there the rarity of a vehicle that could be only maybe less than 200 more than a 100 still left and registered That being said You would have to know what you're buying Maybe one day mine will be open to the right price

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)

[@diemaschine2287]

Clickbait tittle says “Barn find” then shows him pulling the truck from a yard full of old trucks. The Ice scrapers are a giveaway this truck was deopped off for repairs and probably never picked up. Slowly parts were robbed off it for use in other trucks around the shop. Definitely not a legit barn find.

[@Ironcitygarage]

Well the truck did originally come out of an old barn seeming that we get most of our trucks from out west run out there and back for ever truck in this economy isn’t the move currently. Sorry if you felt like you weird lied too🙏🙏
