1985 GMC service truck abandoned for 10 years. will it run and drive?

Wil will try and get this square body out of its grave and back to work on the streets..

[@alfredamantijr3908]

I think you should keep it and fix it up real nice and fix the rest of the problems on it. This way you have a rollback truck and a service truck big fan of your channel.

[@GenesCustoms.]

Nice job. That truck seems to run fine. It looks like you found a pretty good truck that could have been a bad truck : )

[@streetratgarage]

You got that right!

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Wow you lucked out with that Service truck…I would have assumed it was a dead turd with the missing items from under the hood and it’s general appearance. If I were in your shoes I’d put some new tires on it, perhaps an exhaust, clean it up and sell it for a profit.

[@essexdavenorton]

Nice video but audio needs a bit of tlc great shop truck with a bit of a-clean and tidy up should be good to go a nice blank canvas

[@TorquePowerVideo]

One of these days I'll be as comfortable as you in front of a camera haha Good job, and I look forward to seeing more in the future!

[@streetratgarage]

You just have to think that the camera is one of your car buddies that you are talking with Plus, there are outtakes and editing involved so that makes it flow better! Lastly, you just keep uploading videos as much as you can, and it just becomes second nature . Good luck

[@TorquePowerVideo]

@@streetratgarage thanks for the advice. I've noticed I'm getting a little more comfortable in front of the camera, but I still go into the old "uh...ummm...uh" mode as soon as I know I'm being filmed haha

[@DonCrookwashere]

Sell it? No. Fill it with common spare parts to take to revivals? Absolutely. Spark plugs and wires? Check. Carb gaskets and needles? Check. Extra wheels with tires in the back? Check.

[@michigandogman3060]

I have a 81 gmc 1 ton that has a 350 4bbl, edelbrock intake, rv cam, Muncie 465 4 speed, headers and 3 inch exhaust. It’s a dually and I purchased a diamond plate flat bed for it. I really like that old truck, they just work and work.

[@aaronrichards5814]

Thought you weren't supposed to run the engine with no tranny fluid. Bad on the pumps. You ran a good while

[@streetratgarage]

I should have checked, just got lucky this time.

[@STOstuff]

You can burn up the trans pump from running it with no fluid

[@jimstaszko1675]

Is it me or is the audio on mono?

[@streetratgarage]

Working on thst

[@Austin_Gasman546]

Obs and big block video?

[@streetratgarage]

I have been thinking about OBS but I did not know if there would be enough people interested.

[@GoldCars666]

It seems to be in pretty good shape maybe, that bed liner saved it over the years of sitting maybe but I would say it is a keeper. Maybe even fix it up a little.

[@mobes329]

I like the old square body Chevys and GMCs . My dad had a 76 Scottsdale

[@isaaccan3155]

😂 I said Speedo noise before you said “what’s that noise?”

[@ralo1558]

Keep it,Throw a blanket on the seat and clean it up, after that call it Lucky because 90 percent of the audience would have walked on by and never looked back.

[@davidryan573]

Cool truck, I would say you really got lucky, maybe rims, tires clean it up, it would make a great shop truck for someone and decent cash for you.

[@tommiemb]

Interesting the music is in stereo

[@michigandogman3060]

I think true square body’s stopped production in 87, up until the early 90’s they were still square looking and some folks call them square’s but the really stopped in 1987

[@daviddzedzy9194]

1991stoped makeing thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍

[@justinraystyles3537]

I'd keep it and put it on the ramp truck and start a vehicle rescue unit!!😎👍😭

[@AntiqueCarsRCool]

Paint it up and make a shop truck!

[@desert_garage76]

It's a pretty nice old truck, if it was me I would throw a cheap paint job on it and run it. I just rescued a amazing 73 ford f250 camper special xlt truck

[@streetratgarage]

Sounds great!

[@chevylandt.v]

I looks like someone went crazy with the black spray paint and had a lot of it. Anyway nice truck, it looks like a half ton c10?

[@streetratgarage]

The gmc version, but yes

[@tommiemb]

FIY. I listen with ear buds and I noticed for a while that your audio is not stereo and it will switch channels at different times.

[@streetratgarage]

I’ll change some setting on the next upload. Will see what happens

[@dennissanborn3159]

i enjoy watching you but work on your mics. try doing mono

[@streetratgarage]

Just learned how to change the mic to mono, next video it should be good

[@isaaccan3155]

Would you ever consider selling the Rosdkill Plymouth?

[@streetratgarage]

No, sorry I like it way too much. It will be up and running this summer, stay tuned!

[@isaaccan3155]

@@streetratgarage that’s very cool. Glad you will protect it. I wanted that car the moment I saw it on that episode. Love that body style and there is something about the house paint that makes me want to slather the car with Citrus Strip and see what’s underneath. I’ll stick around your channel and see what you do with it. I was glad to see you on Roadkill twice to see somebody saving their old junk.

[@tommyjefferson9525]

Thear is flued in the back of the truck

[@streetratgarage]

and now we know why.

[@lonnymay3997]

What's the price if you were to sell it?

[@streetratgarage]

There is still work I need to get done on the truck. I want to clean it up and check the suspension. I really can’t set a price right now until I go through the truck. But I’m open to offers.

[@N_Denny101]

Man, what a hidden gem. I wouldn't even habe messed with it with no carb, no plugs, and no tranny fluid in it after sitting. Great deal!

[@streetratgarage]

I was really thinking the engine was junk. Lol

[@N_Denny101]

@@streetratgarage I mean, all the signs were there for it to be junk. Haha 😄

[@brandonbell433]

91 with blazers and crew cabs

[@streetratgarage]

Thanks, thought it was something like that.

[@tommyjefferson9525]

Hay the hood is not 🌮

[@streetratgarage]

you don't see that as much on the 80 and up, the 79 down is the real problem

[@N_Denny101]

I dont know why, but I like that truck.

[@ericbliss9512]

So does the AC work?

[@streetratgarage]

Have not tried but I’m sure it would not after sitting so long

[@ericbliss9512]

@@streetratgarage probably not. 😆

[@llaeeZ]

Hi! I little tip when it comes to the audio. I see that you got a lavalier mic, and thats great for audio quality. But please when you edit the video, mix that audio track as mono, otherwise you have the audio jumping back n forth from left to right channel. Little bit annoying. Great videos. I like your style, its nice and relaxing and you feel comfortable infront of the camera. Looking forward to seeing more on the 73 mustang.

[@streetratgarage]

Thanks for the tips!

[@llaeeZ]

@@streetratgarage No problems. I noticed that when you add music or use the in camera microphone the audio is correct, so its only for the shots with the lavalier microphone that the audio is only in the left speaker or right speaker.

[@DDD-jk5sh]

awesome!
