Driving A CLASSIC Chevy Truck Over 3000 Miles

[@gregorydavid7755]

Love the video Jason and loved your comment at 21:41 where u said " I encouage you guys to do the same ".. We spend so much time tinkering repairing and fussing over our rides that we forget they dont have to be perfect to take em on a 500 mile or more journey as they were made to be driven. Get out and drive....

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Absolutely. If it runs, it’ll run. Thanks for watching Gregory!

Very familiar with Washington DC traffic especially 95 South! I guess you guys tested the cooling system!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

lol Not even an issue!

[@glennnickerson8438]

I avoid DC traffic and I-95 like the plague! Whenever I head south I go I-81 thru PA. It may be a few more miles but the traffic is lighter. My thinking on the matter is: Forward momentum is progress compared to sitting in traffic! Glad you had a good time Jason! Only missed my house by 20 miles in NH! 😆

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Next time through we’ll have to meet up!

[@garage79r]

I am glad you gambled and stopped thru

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Me too!

[@iliketowncars]

That is a long drive! From NH I've done Philly and back, about 8 hours each way. For my Georgia trip I took a jet, needed to be back the next day. :D

[@AmericaBumpertoBumper]

Knoxville traffic is only rivaled by Atlanta traffic

[@OldeCarrGuy]

And I survived both! Is there an award for that!

[@AmericaBumpertoBumper]

@@OldeCarrGuy oh yeah, but you gotta come back to Tennessee to get it.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

@@AmericaBumpertoBumper haha! You got it bud!.

[@tertessa]

Now that's a nice trip..

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Yer darn tootin! It was a blast!

[@midwestpanther98]

I hope you post the update soon. This was a really cool video.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I will! Should be up next week.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

On behalf of all Americans I'd like to apologize for the terrible pot holes and Washington DC in general. 👍

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Haha! No worries at all. You ain’t see bad roads! We paved pot holes into our new roads here!

[@SaneCayne]

I saw you in other YT show footage of C10s in the City and figured you were doing a big, automotive vacation "two-fer" by sticking around for Hot Rod Power Tour. Missed opportunity there. But glad you made this trip and brought us along. Glad Dale did his duties so well for ya. 👍

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Wish I could have! Just hard to take that much time off!

[@SaneCayne]

@@OldeCarrGuy That was my first thought. Basically three weeks? But hey, it's your business, you can take as much unPTO off as you want. 😆

[@OldeCarrGuy]

@@SaneCayne that is true, however, when I’m not there, nothing can be sold as I’m that guy!! So one week at a time until the last 2 weeks of August when we shut down the business for 2 weeks for vacation!

[@SaneCayne]

@@OldeCarrGuy Hmm... you need a succession plan. Or at least have your wife or a good friend, or a PT employee with enough executive privileges to move some cars off the lot while yer out having a little fun.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

@@SaneCayne we’re getting there! Covid messed up a good thing we had. Lost a few good employees due to work shortages. But we’ll get there!

[@das11270110]

Awesome truck and awesome job

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks 👍

[@jameswelch8358]

Nice to see you got over 18 MPG's in the ol' squarebody

[@hermyherm365]

Looks like you two had lots of fun … congrats on the successful trip bud !

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks 👍

[@WillsWheels]

I really enjoyed this video and it looks like you guys had a blast on this trip. Great Video!!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Will.

[@SaneCayne]

I'm a mild Hot Wheels nut. So I did know who Bruce was. But I didn't know he's just up the road from me and has a museum. I'll have to check that out if I'm ever in the area.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

You’ll have to contact him as it’s kind of an invitation by appointment thing but definitely worth checking out.

[@papilloncycles3463]

Man that is a quiet cabin! Are you using killmat or another sound deadener?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Dynamat! Only on the floor!

[@papilloncycles3463]

[@LandsharkGarage]

Awesome video!! Looked like a blast. Great video Dale is looking good!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Very cool!

[@hermyherm365]

Dude Dale looks so good bud!!

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Thanks Herm

[@bigbill709]

So did the cruise controll work any better after you took the spring off?

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Absolutely! No further issues!

[@Str8sixfan]

Now we all know where the hide a key is

[@OldeCarrGuy]

LOL I thought of that after.

[@Str8sixfan]

It was a really good time!

[@SaneCayne]

Dang! You were right in my backyard in Richmond, VA! Wish I knew that. Would've invited you to stop by for lunch and check out my '87 square build.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

I’m definitely doing something similar again next year!

[@baconfarts3211]

Great trip video, John is a riot. Great to see Grant too.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it. I did. Those guys are great to hang out with.
