1970 GMC SAVED FROM THE CRUSHER!!

[@jordanhouston8392]

“You’re a wizard, Harry”. Impressive how you get these engines running!

[@VernLang-m7o]

Not to shabby for an old truck good to see it driving around! Good story from Kelly about ranch working back in the day only thing missing from the truck was a couple bundle of baylen wire!

[@OKHall]

My Granpa had a 62 or 63 GMC3/4 ton with a 305 V6 . I never saw him drive it but it sat out by the barn for as long as I could remember. It was in pretty good shape. Wish I had it now.

[@skeeterbuildsit6016]

The stories about that old truck were hilarious

[@HeckYeahBen]

You need to post more brother!

[@danhambrick6331]

Merry Christmas Ben and the Heck Yeah Family...

[@280zone]

From an old guy, that glove box tool is a rasp rather than a hasp. You young fellars crack me up :)

[@johnhart125]

Not a rasp, is a mill or bastard file

[@280zone]

@@johnhart125 Please explain the difference between a rasp, a mill file and a bastard file. So we can all learn together.

[@mathewfullerton8577]

A rasp has individual teeth and is used generally for wood. The bastard file is a type of mill file with a more coarse cutting surface. It is one of three grades of mill files, being the most coarse of the three grades which are defined by coarseness. Hope that helps.

@@mathewfullerton8577 Tremendously, thank you.

[@edwinschlee8374]

That is so cool that you got it running.

[@jasoncassel364]

Heck, yeah, Ben!!! V6 BIG BLOCK for the win!

[@kevinfiebelkorn4715]

A couple info tidbits. I'm pushing 70 and the Marlboro Man was around before I was born. And the Big Block V6 in the big trucks was often a 401 cu/in. I'm looking forward to the next steps on this truck. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@duanelawrence78]

Can't wait for next week!!✌️🇺🇲

[@troyhubbard7881]

That is a great truck I would love to have that

[@johnhart125]

Very nice old GMC, good score!

[@colleensorensen5243]

That’s amazing that you got it running! I loved Kelly’s stories!

[@bobbylong8365]

Heck Yeah !!!!!

[@KnowlesFamilyGarage]

Awesome bro. I have one I need to get running my self with the giant v6 in it.

[@HeckYeahBen]

Such cool trucks

[@norcoredneck]

You should have Robbie Layton make extra panels when he fixes Matt’s truck. Shawn is a master.

[@kevbev1524]

Nice save dude. Happy Holidays

[@AmosAllen-v4s]

Matt’s off-road is also building a spud truck off-road

[@89Built]

Awesome truck buddy we might have to do some trading I might need that thing one day!!

[@HeckYeahBen]

I’m going to see if she’ll drive up there after Christmas!

[@89Built]

Awesome I’ll be looking for it!!

[@ScottOldaker-g1m]

Nice 👍

[@jamesantoine1974]

I found your channel from FabRats and 89Built, and here ya are mentioning VGG!

[@HeckYeahBen]

Derek is the best of the best! He’s stayed true from the very beginning!

[@599miata]

👍👍👍👍

[@norcoredneck]

Those channel locks scream “ I’ll take that fuel tank cap off no problem “.

[@HeckYeahBen]

🤣🤣

[@veetwin75]

Why on earth would the distributor rotor leave grooves on the cap contacts when there is suppose to be an air gap between them to start with, sounds like the distributor shaft has a wobble in it

[@HeckYeahBen]

That was my thought too , but it was just major corrosion

[@craigwhittingslow9689]

It’s actually corrosion buildup not a grove.

[@civerik3031]

did the windshield actually not have any cracks?!?

[@mathewfullerton8577]

Must have never been driven on the highway!

[@frostys64]

I’m thinking Cummins swap

[@HeckYeahBen]

Hey , you find me a wrecked Cummins truck and I’m 100% game! How sweet would that be

[@frostys64]

@ awesome!

[@frostys64]

@@HeckYeahBen a guy I worked for when I was a kid had a 64 two ton with the same engine. Not the fastest but they had lots of torque. We used his truck for the same thing to haul water and it worked pretty good

[@MThompson208]

Great save! The Marlboro Man most of us remember from the 70s and 80s was Darrell Winfield. He was the real deal and lived in Riverton Wyoming. I went to school with his nephew and daughter. He passed just a few years ago.

[@wadericker4795]

​@@MThompson208Thank you for telling us this!! Love hearing these things from the old days! Merry Christmas!

[@craigwhittingslow9689]

Did you figure out which engine you have yet?

[@HeckYeahBen]

305 big block

[@craigwhittingslow9689]

@ do you know anything about these engines?

[@raymondkidwell2338]

It looks more like a 67-68
