I like to hear the tailgate chains making noise, reminds me of feeding the cows with my grandfather 👍 Thanks

[@northcackalacky4694]

At noon Grandad and I would sit on the tailgate for lunch and listen to Paul Harvey everyday on the farm!

[@freemansgarage]

My 67 was used on a cattle ranch & then parked in the barn for 20 years before I got it. Previous owner would keep track of their cows in pencil on the visor. I left that alone & also still have the rusty roll of barbed wire in the bed where it was when it came out of the barn. And the chains sound just the way they should.

[@craigdouglasmartens7037]

My dad had 2 in the Natal Parks Board ( like the US Wildlife Service) in Zululand, South Africa. The first one was pushed off the track by an enraged white rhino with my brother and I in the loadbin. We drove away with a very large dent and gouges all down the sides. Tough trucks and very comfortable on african bush roads. The model he drove were the 1970 C10 and 1972 C10 Custom, a real beauty! It was succeeded by a Toyota Landcruiser FJ45 because of the arduous offroad conditions where heavy duty 4x4ing was involved daily. I was11 when I drove both the C10 and the LC FJ45 along with aWily's CJ2A 1947 regularly. In the bush we all got involved. My great privilege was getting involved in wildlife conservation from 1o years of age until I left home to join the merchant navy at 17 years of age. Thank you again, great chanel!

[@kpayne2012]

Brings back a lot of memories, I had a '62 in high school, mine had a 292 straight six that my grandfather installed after the original engine threw a rod. I also had the vise grip door handle, and the gun rack... My gas gauge was a piece of garden hose I would shove into the tank to see where it was wet. The gas tank on these is right behind your seat. My favorite thing these trucks had is the foot vents, I wish modern trucks still had that. Oh, and the tailgate chains, and the wooden bed. Oh, and my brakes sucked too..

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Foot vents are great! Definitely learned how good those are.

[@thsarethbreaks]

My dad's 69 ' C10 stepside has the floor vents.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Thanks guys for spending the day with Swede and I! We had a great time!

[@NathanDAdlen]

You da man Tim!

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

nathan adlen what Nathan said. Oh and subscribe to the channel! Really need some help!!!

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Pickup Truck And SUV Talk grease the lower control arm bushings i heard the creaking on the video when you backed out of the shop love the truck wish you the best

[@BrewBlaster]

Over 30 yrs ago I had a 68 C10 short bed and I learned so much from fixing things on it. I could literally write a book on it over the yrs I had it and selling it was one of the most DA things I ever did.

[@technomagegrimm1034]

I did something like this when I turned 16. Drove about 4 hours north to buy a 1973 Ford F-250. Talked the guy down to $750 for the thing, I go to leave and at the first gas station I stopped at, the engagement pin for the starter motor fell out. Learned that I could jam a screwdriver up there to hold it in place long enough to start the thing. Had several more minor breakdowns on the way home and immediately began to learn the ins and outs of this old beast. Anyway, a week after we got it home, I went to my buddy's place and the thing just conked out. My being a dumb teen, I figure that we can push start the thing (it was an auto, and yes it's possible but hard to do). We get it rolling and get it started, bring it back up the hill, throw it in park and walk away. What I didn't know was that old Ford have an odd quirk where the parking pall can get worn out, and this thing idled itself into reverse and gets completely stuck on my buddy's woodpile, rear tires off the ground, the whole nine yards (his mom saw the whole thing happen and was just dying from laughter). Great truck and I miss it terribly. Keep yours running and enjoy it. Perfection is for suckers with more money than sense.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Kelton Green great story. Very odd quirk on that old Ford, but that’s what makes old trucks great!

[@alexeverson2015]

What was that like driving it daily. Was it worth it. Also if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you end up spending on it?

[@zacharryn]

My buddy bought a 78 bronco that was in perfect condition. Needed paint of course but no dents or rust. I got it running good, left it idling in park in front of his house, was talking to him, came back out, it rolled away and hit a tree. I put the first dent in that truck that was 35 years old.

[@everlyates1946]

Kelton Green I love that last sentence

[@ET74019]

I’d give anything to have a 60’s truck to drive daily. This guy has an awesome channel

[@DG-sf9ei]

Smart decision to go with 283 engine. Not only period correct, the 283 was a severely underestimated engine both powerwise and reliability. Its very simple and easy to work on, and that's raw power out of that motor because emmissions weren't even a word back then. I bought my brothers 68 C10 with similar situation, they replaced the inline 6 with a 283 that looked identical to this engine right down to Chevrolet across the valve covers. Very cool and nostalgic to see this vid and truck

[@triviace]

I wasn't expecting it to sound that fantastic,very nice indeed!

[@robertbeacham6286]

I love the wrap around windshield pickup trucks !! The pickup trucks were wrap around windshields from 1955 to 1963 ! I love the original stepside pickup trucks because they were strong when you step on the side of the pickup trucks !!

[@danielpothier9990]

I love this video all the great things you can do with an old truck. My sons first vehicle is an old truck and he has work the entire truck. The boy knows more about trucks then most of his contemporaries, because he had to earn it. Great truck Tim Thank You!

[@kylekeller8861]

Awesome! I'm a Long time subscriber of TFL truck. I grew up in Scottsbluff, went to college in Chadron, Ne. Super cool to see a truck from home.

[@craigdouglasmartens7037]

This truck is beautiful, please don't change it's character🙏🏻

[@mikeywillfish5945]

big fan of the tfl. actually bought my jeep renegade trailhawk back in 2015 based upon y'alls vids. i have a fly fishing guide service here in norcal and i love that sucker. great mpg, nimble on mountain roads, and able to get crit when needed. anyways, looking to buy a truck like this one. wanting to keep it chill and workable. same kind of mindset as y'all are talking. stoked to find this while surfing the web. Thanks for being awesome.

[@mitch8831]

I love old trucks like this, especially the straight 6 ones. I had a ‘78 ford and it came with almost the exact same wood box in the back.

[@CJColvin]

That's one beautiful old Chevy C10 man.

[@disht2]

"I spent a lot of time on my back going give me a quarter, give me an inch. And my uncle was on top" 7:45 sounds even worse when you type it out.

[@Nike4426]

This guy could be a meme for that. Jokes aside, beautiful truck.

[@dustinmeier9753]

Don't forget about the 305 V6. I've got a 64 SWB 4x4 panel with a 454 that I dug out of a fence row in 1998, as well as a 66 SWB panel dually with a 6.7 Cummins I'm building now. I love these 60s Chevies.

[@bryanmesser7098]

Great story I’d love to keep it original as possible also

[@eribertoperez1780]

Great story!Perfect truck!Keep them coming!

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Eriberto Perez thanks!

[@MajorWeakness]

Tip, I've got a 65 C10 same type of patina family truck all original, put new wood already cut from Marks Restoration, put Thompsons water seal and let it weather installed so it will fit. in one year it will look great

[@jamesvogel1915]

I have a 1962 Chevy 1/2 ton stepside. It has the original 235 solid lifter motor. I installed Clifford spilt manifold, intake and Weber, xpipe flowmasters. I pulled my trailer to California and back 3 time. It is my daily driver. Primer paint. Inside buckets with center counsel leather from honda oddest 2017 2nd row. I am the 2nd owner. Original manual was in the glove box when i bought it. Oh, installed a 5 speed tko500. You should put the TKO 500. Will transform the truck into modern driver.

[@wingman427]

Awesome story. Swede is a daily driver which is the way it should be. Tim you are amazing.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Beautiful truck, beautiful sound. I just wish I had that relative in my life who knew everything about vehicles and could teach me. The closest I have is my friend's dad.

[@greysonwayne1741]

MultiPurposeReviewer doesn't matter as long as you learn..just in case someone asks you later in life you can help them and so on

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

That's exactly why I want to learn. I want to be able to work on my own cars, as well as help other people if they have an issue. It's just that there's only one person I can think of who could teach me, and I don't feel like teaching myself is especially feasible. I doubt I'd even know where to start.

[@poppyneese1811]

I’d push like a million times if I could, I was doing fine till you fired ole Swede up, then my eyes truly watered up, beautiful story, beautiful truck and I’m betting Eugene is smiling in Heaven!!! Thank You TFL👍

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

Sweet old truckie. Would love an old Dodge or International someday, but I’m not fussy. Old, simple and mostly solid. I love old survivors. Keep her going!

[@dennisthompson7707]

I have a 1961 f100 4x4 step side with that same rear bumper. Cool truck, cool story, my 61 has a similar story, it was my uncles that he bought in 73, me and my brothers learned to drive a stick and I thought my boys how to drive in it.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Dennis Thompson very cool!

[@tonyfriend7413]

Hey Dennis Thompson as a little boy in about 1968 or so I to learned how to drive and shift with a floor shifter truck it was a step side 1964 International Harvester. white just like my classic rust free 1997 Dodge Ram with a V6 5 speed trans. just rolled over to today 23,300 miles today..6.14 pm cst USA7/28/19

[@wmc128]

it's a work of art .

[@Dadcam_Can]

Great old truck with documented history.

[@carlossiri7519]

My C10 is 63, my first driving lessons was with my father 65 C10, I would resume in one simple word both trucks: POWER

[@texhep2654]

Nice truck and a great story. I have a '62 C10 fleetside with a 235. It runs and drives. Has a T5 trans and new gages, but everything else is original. Don't story behind it other than 1962 was the year I was born.

[@delosturner2344]

AWESOME!!!

[@SuperRobvan]

love those trucks just like mine got a 1997 ford f250 love it

[@omalley16]

Have the same Barden Bumper on my 54 chevy pickup. 👍

[@alfredodirks3537]

That truck was in shop lot in Hastings, NE for 30 years and sold on craigslist in 2012-13 to a guy from Colorado.

[@allstate125]

What a fun video.😊

[@AnthonyJ350]

Simplicity FTW!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I drove a 69 Chevy from 2001 to 2010. Daily driver. It was reliable as anything else. It just took longer to start and warm up. No big deal. I’m seriously considering going back to a old one as a daily again . I’m sick of all the gizmos on my new one that act up. Vacuum operated 4x4 giving me hell at the moment. Trans output speed sensor bad too and I can’t even drive it right now. Pan has to be dropped off the trans to get to the damn sensor. Im fed up!

[@stuartw1667]

Awesome truck! To preserve the patina, melt down some toilet wax seal rings and smear that on the exterior and underneath the car. If water doesn't bead on a certain part, it needs more wax applied.

[@joestewart3117]

NICE TRUCK MINE IS A 1964 LONG BED 6 CYL C10 3 ON THE TREE

[@tonyfriend7413]

I have 2 Classic Rust Free Trucks. A 1995 c1500 V8 automatic long box pine green. And A 1997 Dodge Ram long box V6 5 speed trans white 23,300 original miles..Both Standard Cabs..

[@racer67]

That fuel line is a bit close to the exaust manifold! I daily drive a 67 impala 327 just bought a 69 c-10 with 350 2 weeks ago goin thru the brakes n its gonna be driven daily also!

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

Them 69 chevys are gettin hard to find cash for clunkers thinned out the population

[@Spurs-gm2ct]

I dig those white steel wwheels it compliments the truck

[@cinder9950]

I don't mind the patina look but not if it's got big rust holes, new or partial fenders in primer would look much better IMO.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

cinder 99 Thought about it, but once you redo one part, you will want to redo them all. It is like opening a can of worms!

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Dont touch it you couldnt reproduce the character no matter how hard you try

[@sparkyguy277]

Please don’t clear coat the truck. The best way to preserve the patina and get a great shine is boiled linseed oil.

[@georgespangler1517]

Never heard that,,but I'm going to try it on a peace of metal

[@trvlngmn]

I have a 62 c10 with a 6 cylinder straight manual transmission. Just wondering if you know what kind of transmission oil is needed on my truck. Thanks for your help.

[@freemansgarage]

Were you able to get it done? 80w-90 non synthetic gear oil for the manual transmission.

[@1966human]

Grate machine, I would give it a black color rust paint under coat and spray it the closest green color in matt paint btw

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

I grew up riding in a 64 panel truck that i hope to rat-store someday it was rusty then and its rust now and it will be rusty as long as it holds together

[@BrewBlaster]

Dude, just be careful with those drum brakes and keep them adjusted the best you can. My 68 was manual everything and the first time I drove another vehicle, I almost broke the W/S with my face the first time I hit the power brakes LOL.

[@Mr.Cynical92]

I like the rustic look to the truck but just for safety I'd take it to a shop and get the lights working. I'd hate to see it get wrecked and damaged for a $200-300 shop bill that could've prevented it.

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

That's a unique truck

[@user-vy2co6kk1x]

Boa tarde congrats carro vai amén bom trabalho

[@squarebodynut5429]

Funny my c20 62 Chevy 283 and the mount for it is in the front.

[@internallycombusted1]

I like the truck but that fuel filter bothers me. its right over the exhaust manifold

[@platinumlawnservice]

Don't forget the 302, 307, 327 and 400 ci SBCs

[@johnwayne7476]

400 is my favorite SBC and bbc . 396/402 . They pull like a team of Oxen while getting decent mpg . Never had a 400 SBC over heat on me . The 454 bb drinks gas’s and they blow every time you push on one. Plus the 400 SBC always seemed to have just as much pulling power to me

[@patrickholt4140]

I have a 66 in similar shape Would rather drive it than a new one anytime

[@DreamHachi]

I've got a 67. This is a cool truck but the dents in the front anf the severe rust bothers Me.Tbe surface rust is fine great though 😂

[@ashleynobody5281]

Hello Tim, are your wheels 16inch ? And do you k own the backspacing?

[@Kagaines]

How do you put a dash in this? It’s like part of the truck.

[@freemansgarage]

You have to drill the spot welds out but I'm assuming he meant he replaced all the gauges.

[@gumbyhunter]

LED turn signals need a special flasher. Blinker r ez. + To flasher to switch to lights. no one acknowledges hand signals

[@ronaldcarr7316]

Did you use the hydraulic clutch

[@navycop0270]

I humbly suggest that u buy the body parts now, and store them for later.

[@JuiceSpringsteen88]

AFAIK the Chevrolet V8 bellhousing bolt pattern persists to this day. Gen1 SBC all the way to the current Duramax diesel and current LS engines.

[@BrewBlaster]

That fuel filter just looks too close to the exhaust manifold for my taste.

[@derikhancock1224]

BrewBlaster actually began reading the comments to see if anyone thought the same thing I did.

[@sylviamartinez4574]

Is this for sale?. 62 chevy c10?.

[@IronClad292]

I would have kept and rebuilt the 235. I own a 1960 Chevy C10 with the original 235 and it runs great. I can cruse at 60 MPH and it pulls hills great. By the way, the curved windshield is getting harder to find and replace........ Still, I like your truck !! Cool video. You can view my truck in the video below.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH_UXmeOepKGoZI

[@joshuabrown2521]

I have a ‘67 with a 250 Straight 6 and it pulls up hills no problem. I can hold 55 up a good hill in 3rd (3 on the tree) with just a little pedal.

[@sebastianjaramillo3914]

I have one 1961 I'm from Lexington ne

[@fainjohnson3637]

That's a sick truck .leave it as is.

[@freemansgarage]

Agreed 100%. It's perfect.

[@racer67]

I have a spare fuel sending unit for that truck!!

[@privateprivate1865]

I want it

[@glennredwine289]

Oh, I would have atayed w/ a straight six. Sorry, but I would get those dents out & since you drive dirt roads all the time a posi ot torsen differential?

[@jarlsblogg2669]

Thats how i would drive it and am a real swede 😜

[@markroadking]

Needs TLC.

[@WM-lu6sd]

I am refreshing a 66 c 10th with the intention of driving it.

[@allstate125]

🚚

[@JamieMcClanahan]

He rambles alOT

[@zepol402]

Truck needs proper restoration instead cheap mickey mouse fixes spend the money but keep the patina.

[@gumbyhunter]

Need to toss those kragen exhaust tips. Gross uahahahahaha

[@gumbyhunter]

Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaàaaaaaaaa wtf hahahahaaaa Pinterest and twits

[@ibidu1]

Poor truck being abused by these new fad trends, allowing the thing to rot out. Truck will look 100 times nicer with a decent paint or even a decent single stage paint

[@gumbyhunter]

Stopped watching after the crouch cooler comment

[@robertbaratheon9289]

I'd paint it. I hate the rusty look.

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Robert Baratheon its not a look its a life

[@josephsamsor1698]

Robert Baratheon a lot of people love it. It adds character. It would really look good with some nice wheels. The effort to paint something like this would be insane too. Way too much bodywork needed.

[@gumbyhunter]

That trucks ugly. Nothing nice to look at there. At all
