Chevy C20 tool truck- MORE FUN to drive now!!

The older I get the more comfort counts, improving the driveability of Garfield is important, nice work guys. 👍

[@Klingon2468]

I have never driven an automatic car, but 2 things I can't live without power steering and AC.

[@andrewjanzer3846]

I am a ford guy but this truck is so cool to me. There is a long time parked one like this in green that is begging to get dug out and fixed up by my house.

[@andrewjanzer3846]

Great getting to see you guys and get pictures with you at Iola, WI 2024!!!!

[@JosephRozum]

Good Afternoon Family , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are doing well and having a fantastic day today Beautiful Lady 😊❤ !

[@hogdog51]

As a 65yr old fat man from north central Texas , I approve of these modifications . You gotta have ac and power steering , plus I'm tired having to shift gears . Y'alls videos are awesome . I look forward to seeing them . Keep em coming .

[@Fitzinyourhead]

At 22:02 Emily you made me miss my second Jen. When you hugged Aaron. U2 work so good together. I had a “car chick “ that worked with me on every project we had in the shop just like you two We had kind of eccentric taste in vehicles like you do too. From my matching numbers all original 68 GTO and her pristine 72 yellow Karmin Ghia,, our 3 1/2 Suzuki samurai’s. His, Hers daily’s…the crawler “ on 36” swampers and matching trailer and my 65 VW bus. Just to name a few. Between the two of us we owned 42 cars before I got diagnosed with Parkinson’s at age 44 and she left me after 13 years of marriage. I miss The time we spent in the garage. It’s scary how quickly life can change. You two give each other a hug for me your biggest fan Lyon.

Technology never ceases to amaze me. Was a Chrysler Dodge Plymouth Jeep parts manager for 30 yrs. And never want to stop learning. You guys rock.👍✌️

This one is nicely done. Just what Garfield needed ! You two have been my favorites since the beginning. Always take care, have fun, and stay safe. See you guys next week.

[@royburris4126]

I think you two would be the only people I would leave my 66 stang with and not sweat at night about it

[@RonWest-i8d]

It's nice to see you two get along so well as my wife and I would have killed one or the other,been together for almost 48 years now so we know when to stay out of each other way, just enjoy you guys keep up the good work.😊😊😊

When pouring antifreeze turn the jug 1/4 of the way and pour off the side, much more control and no glug, glug, glug. Try it you’ll like it! I wish my projects went as easy as yours.

[@dalesearcy5734]

One thing that I really like about your channel is that you don't try to rebuild things to be perfect. I drive a 1997 Ford F250 and I was thinking about doing a complete body and paint job on it. The cost was way out of my budget, so I just do the things to keep it running good and looking as nice as I can within reason.

[@MichaelDeClerck-l5z]

I too installed a '50s outboard on a little 13 foot, fiberglass boat. The motor was a 1957, 18 h.p. Evinrude. Had to do much the same as you: redo spark plug wire, new points, new fuel pump, water pump impellar, et al. Drove me crazy, but sure had fun.

[@jrmrencso8716]

First mod I did on my 63 C30 Panel was power steering, total game changer, this was followed by power disc brakes, & TH400 auto trans, it's now an enjoyable towing and hauling rig.

[@paulbickmore4523]

I just recently swapped my 72 c10 from a manual to a 700r4 best thing I’ve ever done. It’s so nice to just get in and drive.

[@c50ge]

My Dad used to tell me not to turn the wheel unless rolling slightly, turning lock to lock puts additional stress on the steering Components and tires.

[@johnbrightman282]

seeing you both so cool working together in such harmony.great example to couples.

[@lwwoodsgarage]

You guys are so awesome. Video quality is so amazing

[@MichaelDeClerck-l5z]

You two made a good utility truck into a Great Utility truck! Nice work. Can't wait to see the DuraMax go in. Excellent job on the transom. God Bless

[@jimseals8659]

I like the truck a lot, you had a smaller steering wheel than the one that was originally on it. The old wheels were much larger in diameter to make it easier to manhandle the steering. Adding power steering was a no brainer to me.

[@tomcocci]

Wow.. kinda cool with the refrigeration charge with BT

[@Rubiflake]

Making a vehicle more useful is always good way to go.

[@toddbrown4886]

I have had a automatic transmission for years every vehicle that I have owned and have loved it having bad knees easier to drive

[@georgew.5639]

Here in the state of Pennsylvania you are required by law to be certified to work on vehicle air conditioning if you are an automobile technician. But you are not required to have said certification to work on your car’s air conditioning in your own driveway. Provided that you are not an automobile technician 😁

[@theoldcripple]

Blueteeth air conditioning 😂😂😂😂 I thought I’d seen it all being a old mechanic. I just keep laughing knowing the simple rules of a/c watching this video.

[@insane4wheeler1]

For a non performance vehicle, an auto transmission is wonderful. That power steering in a big Truck is fantastic to have, saves your arms and makes it a joy to drive. I always enjoyed automatic transmissions. I had a racing auto transmission in my 71 lemans, loved that it chirped gears. Mostly I loved the auto transmission when I used to go to the shore almost every weekend. 1 hour ride till you hit stop and go traffic just inching along for an hour or two or three in Jersey. It totally would kill your clutch leg. Love the video's by the way. keep it up.

[@micheltebraake7915]

Don't fall asleep at the wheel now that Carfield is so easy and smooth to drive.

[@m.rei85]

Working AC is a big plus, especially considering how hot it get's in Texas and many parts of the US. Power steering also is a great improvement. I don't own an automatic car, but I've benn in an EV once or twice. Not having to shift is quite nice, escpecially in city traffic during rush hour.

[@robertwcote]

I can't handle Emily's super supportive nature. Whenever I'm wrenching with friends it's just shizz-talking the entire time and putting each other down for laughs. Also inappropriate jokes. Sooooo many inappropriate jokes.

[@danielrobey1759]

There are HUNDREDS of inappropriate shop jokes on the cutting room floor, because we have so many families that watch we really try to be respectful! 🥹😝😩🤣 There’s also plenty of ‘son of a B’ and ‘WTF’ moments that aren’t on camera because it’s hard to work on stuff and always be PG! 😅 We are human, after all!

Aaron is certainly familiar with fuel injection within diesel, compression ignition engines, which is direct injection, along with the reliability, dependability, consistentcy 3. EFI is certainly the best version with proper ECU-ECM-PCM, along with one or multiple injectors cylinder, intake port, most easily via port injection [as the GTO "Roxie"] 4. though my personal choice, selection would be different, more based upon full functionality, performance, specifications [as engineer], since You'All have Your brand, company, sponsorship relationships, thus will still result in a good, reliable, dependable engine, performance, vehicle. 5. You certainly are aware and have seen Your friend Derek [VGG] install such EFI successfully on, with several vehicles for more reliability too 6. my expectation with the paths, methods, means, focus with precision, accuracy, exactness which Aaron certainly has developed along with Emily as partner, well guided, the results will certainly be good to excellent along with good example, presentation, process, method to show viewers, more general, common folks, thus good content and promotion too. 7. in addition, especially within the more modern era, implementation of, with 'flex-fuel' sensor, along with the necessary fuel system component changes, modifications, upgrades is also useful, helpful, beneficial, essential perhaps important to vital, along with not only fuel station E-85 [typ 40% -> 55% (rare) ethanol] to use and benefits with high ethanol content greater than 55% to true E-85/C-85, 85%, 88, 90, 95, 98 % ethanol. 8. there are some more rare, very little known other improvement which can be attempted if more adventurous, with some expert advice, guidance, expertise as from David Vizard, namely water injection, water-methanol injection, methanol injection [100% methanol is more for actual racing] b. fire safety - internal fire extinguisher(s), especially halon type, perhaps also automated too. c. disk brakes - upgrades, improvements, modifications, including all four wheels [also 1979 MB had four wheel disk brakes] d. proper use, selection with synthetic oils, fluids, lubrication, within engine, transmission, gears. wheel cylinders, hydraulic brakes [and temperature rating] 1. my engineering basis, assessment, evaluation, etc. leads me to the best available which are not via the major brands which are all the same mediocre level within StdOilInt'l owned; thus not biased by sponsorship, advertisement and common misinformation, misconceptions 2. all top quality are private brands, owned, production, corporations [do You know the best one ? with the best warranty, data, comparison, proof, expertise ? 🤨 thus can be "self-sponsored" 😏 e. tires are often not among the information, knowledge base within most folks, public, common people, thus when replacing are led by various aspects, often without any or very little searching and proper basis. - this can certainly be a useful, helpful, beneficial aspect to convey including the process that You'All go through with developing Your information, knowledge, base, selection, choice, determination, which obviously includes the vehicle type, use, purposes, function, functionality, durability, environment, etc. Certainly enjoy viewing, watching the many projects, videos, presentations, events, etc. from Y'All, which You post on this channel with much appreciation. ☺🤗 All The Best, Much Success within each, every, all of Your Quests, Health, Happiness and Well Being, 😊Sincerely ☺

Suggestion: wire a switch in the lockup wiring to manually turn off OD. useful when under loads on hills. I put a 700r4 in my 3/4 ton 1990 worked nicely when climbing mountains and hills

This was great. I got lost for a bit, underneath, as you were driving apart stuff on the control arms, having forgotten you were also going after installing power steering, but that was on me.

I'd like to see Roxy make a run with a well built automatic in her. I love jamming gears too, but I'm old and lazy. 😊

The overdrive must be super nice for that year truck. I can relate. I had a 71 F100 that was a great little short bed. No power anything it would have been fantastic with at least power steering and auto 3 speed. 3 on the tree was kinda old after a little while.

[@GTL77]

All my old rigs I had back in the day I never had A/C it was always two windows down doing a 100 was my A/C 😂 but now in my late 40’s I can appreciate the A/C!! But I still enjoy the three pedals tho

[@scottleininger6201]

Wow what a great upgrade. I have done a couple of those mods on my 72 f100 and it made a huge difference

I have a 69 c20 that's orange with the utility bed and this gives me inspiration to work on it

[@douglasarmstrong2748]

I had a rig like yours with the exception that mine was a long bed with a wood floor. Mine did have power steering and the four speed but no air. Given your location, I sure get the addition of air. I was always glad that it had power steering when I was backing boats because some of the landings could be tricky. I always enjoyed the four speed and never minded it at boat landings or other situations but that's just my preference. The granny gear came in handy sometimes. I love Garfield and am glad to see him getting some love.

[@mikemullay5622]

Love the power steering and the 700R4. I have definitely become shiftless now in my old age. Time to polish those hubcaps now.

See I'm a stick shift boy through and through, but for a truck like this having an auto trans is real nice. Power steering is a must for me though, so I'm glad ya'll put that in.

[@jimadams6585]

I have one suggestion to the cooling system. There is a large gap between core support and shroud .You should fill the gap in with some abs plastic sheet or Sheetmetal . That would help cooling and ac performance .How many times are you going to push the clutch pedal in to start? lol Keep up the good content.

You guys need to insulate the cab of your truck. Kevin from junkyard digs doesn't all the time. It's a lot warmer a lot quieter with inside the cab.

We understand there is no "perfect" translation and we understand why. If the Word "speaks" to you, and bears good fruit, then it is good. One of my favorites is the Concordant Version, for its accuracy.

[@russmurphy7062]

As easy as you can add both of those, I would a thought you'd have changed it long ago. Everything to do these swaps, is in a salvage yard. Manual steering, in anything, is a work out. Not to mention all of the added movements you have to do to shift a manual trans. You hit the nail on the head when you said it's a joy to drive You have sponsors that will supply most anything you'd need. Making an inventory before you even begin is a big help to getting it all in, and working. My project Im in the middle of is a 302 swap in a Ranger. The trans is an older AOD that's been rebuilt. I've had it running on electronics but the used wiring harness caused so many problems, I gave up and took the AODE out, stripped the electronics totally out, and I haven't gotten it started yet. All of the pieces to adapt it into my truck, came from an explorer. A few minor changes to body work, so the newer hood will fit. I've gotten to see a lot of y'alls projects and you know as well as I do, things will happen. Life is what's holding me up from being able to drive it. My motor has minor changes made to it. Good, solid bump stick, longer rocker arms, for added lift n duration. It a two barrel for now. I want to add a few other things so it'll be a totally one off truck. You both are really good folks and I like to support people who know how to pay it forward. Good luck to you both and I look forward to more of your projects.

[@wagonmaster1974]

Lots of stuff to mention. First, it is way cool to see you guys - after at least 17 years - still such good coworkers. Next, I am really tickled to see the original air cleaner/spacer still in place. I had a '68 CST with a 396 and the spacer was well guarded. Very hard to find. Great adds to Garfield. Y'all are going to get spoiled. What's next? A working speedometer? Remove the 3rd pedal? Cruise control? Power windows? Happy birthday, Aaron!🎉🥫 Keep up the good work, life and lack of variety!!

I love that you showed the clearance on the old crossmember. I'm getting ready to do the same swap on my 72 c10 next week. Also, since Garfield is a 71, you should probably add a catch cable to the drivers side motor mount. Hate to see you get a wide open throttle if you break a mount.
