Thank you for sharing about the old chevy truck. 💕❤️😊

Keep shutting on usa. Every country has bc speeders it’s natural. People who live in countries where they think nothing can touch them soon crumble. Canada will not be perfect for long. No country is. And actually sobb my e of the most vulgar , twisted and drunk people I’ve bet are older Canadians. You know y? Cause everyone has thus shit. Oh and btw your country use to execute as much oeoplevv bc as us and the uk. So don’t act like you’re perfect. Canada use to drop bodies with death penalty. The good days

[@joelbuchanan471]

This sale comes right in line with my holiday shopping. Thanks Mitch, I have found everything I have gotten from your site has performed very well. Lilly brush, glass cleaner and waffle towels, graphene spray, instant detail spray, bug remover. They have all performed!! Thank you!!

the restoration of the chrome bumper literally had my jaw drop. Incredible.

[@AlexTrain5249]

One of the greatest trucks of all time imo. Also yes, us Americans drive REALLY fast and have a tendency to look down upon people who drive slow. You either go to the speed limit or over it in America.

Facts❤

[@NextUpTunes]

I don’t care if ur going 3-5 miles slower. Especially in rain or snow. But if ur on the freeway in good conditions and ur doing 45 in a 65 ur asking to be hit

[@Primus54]

So as to not give visitors to America information that might affect their wallet, not every state treats speeding the same in either how many MPH/KPH over the posted limit the police allows before a ticket, the fine amounts can be drastically different state to state. You’ve been warned! 😂

[@nobodysfavourite6953]

You mean USA?

[@inducteddragoon]

@@NextUpTunes Gotta agree. Not only are you being annoying it's just unsafe. Some people will be like "Isn't slower always safer?" No, federal and state studies have consistently shown that the drivers most likely to get into accidents in traffic are those traveling significantly below the average speed.

[@HeatherLedford-s3p]

Detail Geek I hope and pray that in the future you can clean up more old classic vehicles. Because these vehicles need more TLC. Thank you so very much for everything you do. This video was one of my favorites. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding 💪👍 enjoy your day and take care

[@mena94x3]

Yes. More older vehicles. My first car was a powder blue 1972 Chevy Luv. It was 20 years old and beat up, but I _adored_ it. I can still remember the smell of it and how my legs burned on the vinyl seats and metal belt buckle in the summer. 🥰🥰

[@bryanphillips6666]

I'll see your luv and raise you an 80 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme reddish orange with a BLACK vinyl interior! Sssst everytime I peeled myself off I bet I left a layer of skin on the seat! Yeah as cool as that black interior looked I got seat covers in a hurry. Broken AC line, meant only open windows

Yes, please do more older vehicles. I'm from 1971 too just like this truck. Chevy is my first love. I had a 1986 Chevy S-10 pickup with a long bed and it was red. Oh, how I loved that truck!! Awesome job Mitch!!

[@GKMess42]

I learned to drive in a 1984 Chevrolet S-10...in 2007. I miss that truck badly - had to get rid of it in 2012 when it threw a rod and had no where to store it to fix it up. I still regret letting it go. My family had owned it since 2003.

[@dangregg3189]

Beautiful Truck. And an incredible job. I'm positive his Dad is smiling from ear to ear.

Hearing stories of people finding old things they got rid of always make me cry, but now i'm crying more because his dad didn't get the chance to see it himself! I know he knows from heaven that his son found his truck and I know he's happy up there!! ❤

[@jerrilynmyers329]

I never get bored watching you transform the vehicle so. Awesome

[@lflorro]

Awesome truck, awesome back story! Chevy truck owners understand that attachment. My Dad drove his 61 chevy at 90 years old! My brother now has it and drives it with great pride ❤

[@shannonp1656]

1971!!!! It looks pretty good on the drive in to the garage. I wasn't quite old enough to drive in '71 but this would have caught my eye. Edit: I was wondering if anyone recognized you. Out if state drivers are more likely to just pay the fine and are an easy target of opportunity. That was funny, though. Around here 15 over is too slow for many people. Actually stopping for a stop sign or red light, even with cross traffic in the intersection, might get you rear-ended.

[@johnwilliams8818]

Here in Wisconsin some of the posted top speeds are 75 MPH ( 120 KPH ) and with that "unspoken" 15 MPH over ( I had two uncles in the sheriff dept, they didn't even bother with anything under 15 MPH over ) That makes the average top speed in those areas 90 MPH ( 145 KPH ). In some other parts of the US, the top speed is 85 MPH or 100 MPH adding that "unspoken" variance. 135 to 160 KPH. I have to say though on a good day for a drive? Those speeds are a normal Tuesday for me 🤣

@@shannonp1656 Same here. Its made worse by a "State Law" that says pedestrians have the Right of Way if they are in a crosswalk or if they are crossing from corner to corner without a crosswalk. They don't get to cross against a red light, but if they were already crossing the cars are supposed to yield. It's a real challenge to convince those who have the "NEED" to always be the first person to go when the light turns green that they are supposed to wait for people. And? They don't get any points for running them down...

Look at that!!!!💜💜💜 My high school boyfriend had a 73 Chevy- 3 on the tree and it looked similar….so many memories!

[@michaellecaplain3377]

Easily the coolest vehicle I've seen on your channel - absolutely brilliant! Personally I'd love to see older, more classic stuff coming through for detailing - they're much more interesting than the modern bland stuff - though I still enjoy the transformations, whatever the car (or truck). What a fantastic C10 - and the transformation of the chrome was just mind-blowing. More of the same, please! 😃

[@CKN215]

Mitch, if you haven’t already, you could start going to car shows in the Spring and try to get more classic car business.

[@fromtheheartofawoman4911]

What a beautiful story and truck. I love watching you transforms these vehicles into beautiful gems.

[@Caeleinn]

That chrome restoration honestly made my jaw drop. That stuff is amazing! My Dad had one of these trucks when I was a little girl, so seeing this truck brings back some absolutely wonderful memories for me! I'm thrilled for the owner! I'd love to see you doing more classic vehicles if/when you get them in the studio.

[@RatdogDRB]

[@rickmitchell6747]

This detail brought a few tears to my eyes. Its sad it sat in a barn for years when it could of been enjoyed, but its great the owner got it back in the family. Its also great Mitch is building stories with Ruby. I just got a new to me car, and can't wait to start making memories with it.

[@Chief4Army117]

I'm not a big truck person, that is a nice looking truck! Definitely a classic! Great detail man!

Awesome back story on this beautiful truck, very nicely done. I know the customer didn't opt for an engine bay detail, but would have loved to have seen the engine bay regardless. This truck looks beautiful and sounds amazing. Excellent video! Would definitely like to see older vehicles like this. Mike approved!

Yes, we would like to see some older vehicles like this beautiful red truck. 51 years old and this truck still looks great.

[@Will_JJHP]

What a cool vehicle and an even cooler story! I think being in a barn all those years saved it from being consumed by all that rust. The front end of the frame probably needs to be pulled out a bit too from what I noticed. All in all, it's nice to have a clean vehicle to start with before all the repairs. Nice work!

I restored (Dad helped alot) a 1970 C10 in 2001-2002 for my senior project. I got in massive credit card debt in my college years and had to sell it. It broke my heart. Now that I am expecting my first child I hope that I can one day show my son how to do a restoration. Maybe I can get grandpa to help?

[@citibear57]

Yes, please do more classic vehicles when you have the opportunity. I remember the '71 Chevy C10, and I remember seeing a few in orange paint although I think most were two-tone orange-and-while paint. I was only 14 when this truck was new 😆

[@stevenperrott9266]

That was a treat to watch the transformation on this Classic Chevy! Your content is always enjoyable, adding older vehicles would be a great plus.

As soon as I saw that shiny chrome gas cap sticking out of the side I knew we were in for a treat. OK, pretty darn impressive clean up. Whoever did the repaint of this beauty looked like they did a good job. Your treatment for the chrome bumper was amazing. Admittedly, I was a bit choked up by the backstory. Even though the father passed on, the son still has the truck and some wonderful memories I am sure. I thought for sure the floor bottom of the interior would have rusted away, but that did not seem the case here. I wonder if the color it is now was close to the original color? I was going to ask about the trip and if you met any Jimmy justice in all those miles. You got lucky on your ticket, but you do have an amazing 3.21 MILLION subscribers.
