Farm Find Repo Rig - Will it Run?

#revival #farmtruck #chevrolet #diesel
I bought a 2000 Chevrolet C3500 4x4 diesel repo truck without so much as popping the hood.
Here’s some links to the parts:
Fuel pump link: amzn.to/43UcfDB
Fuel filter link: amzn.to/3H1AkP1
Master Cylinder Cap: amzn.to/3LimpVM
Can I get it running?

[@geopou4618]

Such a cool spec of a truck and has the turbo 6.5 what a rare find! Great approach to reviving it too! Watching you flat-tow it all the way home was pretty funny.

[@GrubNGas]

Hahahaha! Yeah that was sketchy! Thanks for the comment and have a wonderful night!

[@ryzen397]

i always wonder why someone would park a running truck and just let it rot

[@GrubNGas]

It’s a good question.

[@ryzen397]

@@pineappleexpress793yea i can understand that

[@GrubNGas]

@@pineappleexpress793 that’s a sad thought…our farmers should get paid way more for what they do. I have great respect for farmers.

[@troyrunyan249]

Maybe the fuel pump went out and they couldn't figure it out.

[@MintMonte87ACSS312]

Might have been nickel and diming someone and they got tired of putting money into it regularly, or maybe they upgraded from this truck to a better wrecker or even a rollback possibly. Or got out of the need for a dually in general. When they are double the size generally they are double the price to fix.

[@rocnnrollbus]

I have one of these in my driveway I'm bringing back..paid a grand for it the guy got rid of it because it wouldn't start. 1999 GMC K3500 dually crew 4x4 6.5. Ridiculously solid rig.

[@GrubNGas]

Oh wow! That’s a steal, my friend! Glad you’re here and wishing you the best with your 1999!

[@CSERepair]

I can tell you were just like your little boy with your pops! That little man is going to grow up just like his pops wrenching all day!! Good on you dad

[@GrubNGas]

You know it, my friend! I grew up in my dad’s lawnmower shop…sticking coins in the mufflers when I was little😂 Apparently dad was shocked when he started one up that I had “fixed.” I sure wanna do right by my boy, though. Give him a set of good life skills. Appreciate you for the comment:) God bless!

[@Mr_Man308]

Reminds me of how i found my 93 sierra. Poor girl was given to my boss to bring down a repair bill and i ended up towin it 30 miles to my bosses other shop. It sat for 2 weeks before he gave me first right of refusal and i paid him that day for her. Fresh battery and starter, drove her home that night. Shes beat up but shes still fightin

[@GrubNGas]

Sounds like a winner of a rig!!!

[@gordonhenrichs]

Just discovered your channel. Funny you mention growing up in a lawn mower shop, my dad did and I did as well until about 2020 when we closed up shop for other ventures. Amazing how those “simple” mechanics learned growing up still carrys into cars and other things many years later. Subscribed!

I used to have a 98 suburban with 3 row seating with a 6.5 top end and 6.2 bottom end . It's was slow but great on fuel. Made gobs of tq. Ultimate dad mobile. Family trips where great in it. I was rear ended twice in it In a months time.

[@mikesmith-po8nd]

Congrats on a great find. Imo those rims would look nice in semi-gloss black. But dude, I can't believe that you towed it home with a rope. I was just waiting for the mayhem to ensue.

[@GrubNGas]

Thanks, and I agree that would be a great color! Yeah, in hindsight, that tow wasn’t the best idea I’ve had… I need to invest in a dolly or a tow bar.
