Abandoned Mini Truck Box Truck - Will It Run And Drive?

[@rawalker666]

The Bearded Mechanic really needs to visit this guy he would buy all the bikes

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Lets get him in here!

[@00kingi]

💯 get that man there asap

[@CiDirkona]

Everyone needs a Craig.

[@user-McGiver]

@@CiDirkona too bad there's only one... lol

[@BikeWorkz1991]

Best comment haha

[@isaacfortner]

This was like watching American Pickers, and I loved every second of it. Can’t wait to see this channel blow up!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

That’s the vibe I was going for! Hahaha

[@TomleyRC]

Can't wait to see what you do with it....

[@digitellint]

hey Tommy!!! nice to see you on that side of YT!!

[@TomleyRC]

@ cheers dude

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Im stoked!

[@careymcdowellthe3rd610]

The old guy that owned that place probably has a fuel pump in that shop somewhere for that truck new in the box

[@ElevatedFabworks]

You know you’re probably not wrong 🤣

[@x_ph1l]

The original property owner is a grade A hoarder, for sure!

[@Jeeplee_rc]

Loving this filming/video style. Keep up the good work looking forward to this build and MANY more that property looks like a huge score for pickers!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate that, I’m glad you’re digging the format!

[@rufusonline]

You should partner up with that dude and make KZbin videos together - he supplies the kit, you supply the skill. That is a never ending supply of content right there!

[@pieterboudrez7812]

Cool you found that Yamaha Chappy. Had lots of fun with mine. Super reliable. 3000+km trips, no problem

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Good to hear! I think ima try and get this ol girl running.

[@LooseGoose717]

LFG! And i must say the Filmer/editor is killing it as well!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

I agree!!!

[@mattfreestyle1259]

This is so cool!! I’m really looking forward to what’s coming on this channel, keep up the good work 👍

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate that, man! I’m excited about it too!

[@kawanbat7143]

a yamaha chappy and a honda dax so cool !!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

The best!

[@penguinheist9625]

You poked the AC button. AC compressor is possibly seized and you probably were burning the AC compressor clutch. I've had that exact issue before...

[@ElevatedFabworks]

I thought so too, but it was just a coincidence I’m 99% sure hahaha

[@penguinheist9625]

@ElevatedFabworks heck ya! Good luck and I'm absolutely jealous in every aspet. For me, it's my daily I'm having trouble with. So, for you as a work vehicle, I hope it isn't. AC on a 3800 is a pain to deal with without a garage and proper tools.

[@CasualRicer]

Halfway through this vid, absolutely loving it. Excited to see the channel grow, Padric!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate that, man! Thanks for watching.

[@USMCRabbit]

Love the video. The ADHD that kicked in looking at all the stuff he had was all too familiar. Plus the fact you got the truck running and back to your place was awesome.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Glad you liked it! It was a solid day.

[@cheeseblast]

You are an incredible fabricator, I sincerely hope this blows up, happy holidays to you and your's brother.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate it! Happy Holidays to you too, man!

[@danmerrill4176]

I’m pumped for these new projects!! That truck is a unit !! LETS GOO !!!

[@sijan1172]

Box Truck Mafia, let‘s go!!!

[@LobbyDaLobster]

Yee-Hawl!

[@mr1pearl]

I have this feeling you're going to visit this guy again .... score 🤸

[@tayloralexis1504]

Wow!! That kid and his wife are very fortunate people inheriting that property!!

[@GratefulEd907]

That little Honda trail is a great project.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

The potential is there!

[@FrostyDog2633]

I grew up in Aztec, NM. Brought back alot of memories of home. Can't wait to see what you do with all the stuff.

[@campbellmcgrannachan3859]

Get as much of that fab equipment as possible

[@ElevatedFabworks]

As much as I will reasonably use!

[@talan.2]

Can’t wait for the build. Just fixed my uncle’s bike that sat for a while. When stuff sits for a while like that it’ll run like crap for a little while till the bad stuff cycles out.

[@nukewurld]

Great truck

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate that! 🙏

[@doctorjango1]

I love the idea of a mobile shop. Super excited for this build.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Awesome, thank you!

[@tofemaster]

This is gonna be a good time

[@hannoez]

At first I was sad you left GHPC, Now i am glad that it happenend. What a good first video! Nice camara angles, good editing and you can explain what you are doing while you are wrenching. Keep up this quality! (No pressure) looking forward for your next adventure.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Thanks man! I’ll try!

[@PaddyBoy644]

18:43 if you’re working on a old Toyota then tex screws, ratchet straps and cable tires are your friend! 😂 Great work mate, Cheers Pat 🇦🇺

[@stum450n]

Yeah! That's a properly entertaining first video 🙌

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Glad you think so!

[@jmsq92]

I liked this video. It is really far from the big sponsored channels with all the corporate limitations and such. Padric is just an honest, easy going, excited guy sharing his adventures; and that is nice. Inspiring even, maybe i'll try to fix my car's horn this weekend after seeing this.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate it! Glad you liked it. I’d love to get some sponsors for products I’ll use around the shop and even some paid ones to keep the lights on! But time will tell, and hopefully if I do you don’t hate me 🤣

[@jmsq92]

@@ElevatedFabworks not at all man, this is the type of content that deserves it. Hopefully the sponsors can see the potential the same way we, the fans, can. Thanks for the reply man, appreciate it. I'll continue to watch with sponsors if it continues to be this good.

[@MattSpears]

So sick!!!! Intro and tunes have me on the edge of my seat.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Love to hear it!

[@PabloNovillo]

Love your enthusiasm!!!

[@jiggilowjow]

wow ive never seen market place pay out like this. what a spot!!!

[@swimmer90011]

honestly i love spots like this

[@shipstainmcclain9265]

That was a honey hole of goods

[@sazmayo]

already love this channel, Padric is a gem on camera. cant wait to follow his journey on YT, hell yeah fuck yeah

[@Hunter-cv7ud]

this is so cool. just the ability to see the value in the old junk is awesome. im super excited for the series on this old toyota.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Thanks for watching! I’m stoked about this ol girl too.

[@charliesmith1522]

Awesome video, can't wait to see more. That place has some cool stuff

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Can't wait!

[@ss-gc9qq]

Padric, real happy to see you doing your own thing. The Grind Hard crew is insanely good at what they do and are seriously entertaining as well, but you clearly have your own energy to get this going in your own way. I was watching GHPC at only 5k subs just like 7 years ago, which is no time at all for people who work as hard as you do.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate it! Glad you’re enjoying it! I’m here to make this happen hell or high water 👊🏼

[@tylertannreuther4749]

Great job bubba, your going to do great on here, having the personality for it is half the battle. Lol you keep makin videos I'll be here. Keep it up

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate that, man!

[@dylansmith4233]

Wow you have a lot of eyes on you right now. Tomley RC and others commenting. Big moves man. Keep to your roots. Keep doing what you love and people will stay engaged. Huge fan of yours. Keep on keeping on brotha.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate the love and support man! 🙏 I’m feeling very fortunate

[@jameshatton4211]

Bro! Air con you a friggin set👌 What an awesome buy! That guy is sitting on a bit of a gold mine of vintage bikes

[@muigaulwurf]

Nice! I'm excited for what's to come!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Can't wait!

[@Arithryka]

2:30 absolutely hilarious moment the haggling is actually making me stressed out lol

[@LIONGOD]

grindhard is like nuclear fission, parts of the crew split off and become whole new channels. i wonder if the cycle will ever end

[@ElevatedFabworks]

I’ve had a channel, and content was coming either way. I gave grindhard a shot but it didn’t work out. I planned on doing my own thing since may 2023, the opportunity to join Grindhard came up and I took the chance! Just because it didn’t work out doesn’t mean the world is ending 😅

[@danielkingery2894]

Welcome to The BoxTruck Mafia Padrick. That lil rig is minty...3.4 swap for the tow capabilities!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Hahahahaha

[@MeanMazi]

First real video and it’s a banger!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Thanks so much man!

[@user-McGiver]

7 words for the Algo... Happy New Year!... that's a great start!

[@erch2135]

Lets go! Ready for video 2

[@PhilipCockram]

Nice truck , lots of potential . I yelled : "don't hit the switch" as soon as you said it has AC , LOL

[@ElevatedFabworks]

🤣🤣🤣

[@garethbarlow5278]

I thoroughly enjoyed that Padric!👍 Well shot and edited, potentially helpful and definitely entertaining. Thanks mate.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@danielrodriguez8558]

I had a truck with rust pretty similar to yours. I hooked up a metal pipe suspended in it and hooked up a battery to use electrolysis and got 95% of the rust out. A few good videos on KZbin on how to do it but it worked great

[@DinkleBerryFarms]

Sweet buy. I saw that on marketplace too very tempting. Im glad you picked it up

[@ElevatedFabworks]

It was too good to pass up!

[@Junior-ts2ru]

What a score!!! Really great episode! 🔥🤙✌️

[@evanthiessen8445]

I could have watched an hour of you checking that place out. Unreal!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

We spent a total of 3 🤣

[@jordanmorrison100]

I love having being a part of this channel from the start I was sad when you came and gone from grind hard for whatever reason but I am happy you started a channel of your own

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Thanks man!!

[@TheTylerGreen]

I honestly can't believe how good of camera angles that you found throughout this whole video! Perfect shots of above a gas tank in a mini box truck while changing sending unit? SURE!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Dude, my filmer is an animal.

[@fpino4343]

Really dig this video man! Nice to see some videos that aren’t in a perfect garage with perfect tools etc. a little suffering makes it much more relatable 😂🤙🏼

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Yeah, man, I try to keep it real! It's not all sunshine and rainbows around here. 😂

[@Iwasnvrgvnaname]

That kid friggin scored! and so did you

[@hunterhall1100]

Cant wait to see this finished. Excited to see the process

[@dankrafted]

that place was awesome, so much cool stuff to rummage through... love the truck, looks like an over cab popup tent (on a frame) would go on there a treat leaving the back space for all the activities

[@ElevatedFabworks]

That would be cool!

[@jeremyrendell4333]

Great vid! Looking forward for what’s to come! 👍🏻

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate that, man!

[@ryanh.bastian8853]

Really excited to watch your journey Padric, great start! I love that you have the same junk sickness that I do

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Appreciate it! I’m definitely hooked on this junk. 💀🤣

[@brandonolson1959]

just got into cars recently and bought my first project not long ago....didnt even have it home yet i was already looking on marketplace lol the addiction is real

[@ElevatedFabworks]

It's a slippery slope! 😂

[@tntchitwood]

I love it! I’m restoring a 1975 Toyota pickup. Good stuff!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

I’m trying to find a pre 79!

[@andrew40]

On my truck that sat for 8 years, pretty sure the fuel pump wasn't rusted but gummed up with the old gas. The bolts to get the tank out and drained were another story. At least all the sending unit bolts were mint. Was an utter pain getting the right replacement pump. All the auto parts stores listed various wrong ones. She did get back on the road for the first time yesterday. Tires flat spotted like nobody's business. No idea if they'll round out with full air and use or if they're goners.

[@RalphIvanDelaTonga]

Oh this bound to be interesting

[@redhenracing2]

Congratulations, you made it into my stack of "faces I click on without bothering to read the title" creators

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Haha thanks, man! Hope you enjoyed it! Means a ton to make it to that level!

[@redhenracing2]

@ElevatedFabworks if you have an excuse to make it through Minnesota this winter, we've got rally cars that need co-pilots. Add "winter rally Supra" to your bucket list 🤙

[@cesarortiz5641]

I would have wanted to leave with everything what a gem of a property

Off to a good start

Great job on the first vid. Love the old Yota! Those 3.0’s are turds…..

[@ElevatedFabworks]

I know what you mean haha, we’ll see how long the 3.0 stays in the bay 🤣

[@Justaguy-uz9cn]

You need the vice grip fuel system for your future pickups pump and a jug can’t go wrong then and break less bolts liking the show so far good job

[@tonysargent1699]

Hey Padric, I watched you on grind hard and thought you were a bit uncomfortable so I didn't really get you, but watching this video has been amazing and I think I will give it a go to see what you get up to. Thanks for being more than I thought you were, it's appreciated.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Fair enough, I definitely wasn’t able to be fully myself, which is fine, but I’m stoked to be here on my own doing my thing!

[@cleverduck3921]

That's why I love Toyotas. A little TLC, and it was ready to get back in the fight.

[@CaptnBlack94]

Only two episodes in and you've already managed to combine my favorite parts of the other YT channels that I watch. Vice Grip Garage meets Toyota 4x4 fab. LET'S GO!

[@ElevatedFabworks]

YEWWWW!

[@GarageRats]

You should look up the "Fuel Pump in a bucket" trick if you frequently buy junkers like the Toyota. Its a standalone fuel tank to fix stuff like the fuel pump issue you ran into in a pinch. Temporarily of course.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

I know all about them! Don’t plan to drag tooooo many projects home so hoping I don’t need it 🤣

[@GarageRats]

@@ElevatedFabworks Thats what we all say 😂

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

You could extend the box over the cab and make it more aerodynamic as well as adding a small sleeping spot above the cab. Freeing up room in the box. Hope that made sense im just off night shift.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Makes total sense!

[@AugustoCastilloBarnett]

glad to see you working on your own projects, you need some toys to fool around, you should add a turbo to that little motorcycle.

[@ElevatedFabworks]

Thanks, man! I agree, it’s time for some fun projects!
