FORGOTTEN 1966 GMC gets BUDGET Makeover. AMAZING Transformation

Here is part 2 of the FORGOTTEN 1966 GMC truck revival. In part 1 we swapped in a 250 inline 6 and rebuilt T5 5 speed transmission. Disaster struck when we ran into driveshaft trouble. In this episode we will do some modern interior upgrades, rant about driveshafts, shine up the primer and go for a test drive.

I've made it to the end. Survived trough the tons of commercials. I know that you get paid out of them, but surely, there are plenty of them. Enjoyed watching you waiting on the train. Then commercials went in. After they've stopped, I see you still waiting for the train. But, nevertheless, whole time on that ramp waiting on train, with commercials is nothing comparing with the time we spent at the ramp waiting for train to pass. Here, that's measured in 1/4 of the hour, starting point. If you're lucky, you'll wait from 1/4 of the hour to the 1/2 hour, and if you're not, you can watch two of your videos by the time train passes. P.S. I'm not complaining against commercials, I'm complaining about train passings.

😢 Trains make that lonesome sound....

[@shedbythetracks]

Looks like the feud with the elderly guy in his shed is heating up.. I can't wait to see which one of you is institutionalize first. I have a couple of suggestions to improve your channel. 1. Move around more and wave your arms vigorously. 2. Repeat the same sentence over and over. 3. Marry a girl half your age to run the camera. (I don't know about Canadian law but that's illegal north of Missouria in the states....you're probably fine Saskatchewan) Nice truck, I'm very envious. Cheers and all the best

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

For a minute there, I thought you were genuinely trying to offer helpful suggestions. Then I remembered that I'm still cleaning up the mess from the last time I took your advice. My brain may be fried from years of exposure to bodyshop chemicals, but....something something...where am I?....Thanks so much for the helpful advice, I can't wait to use your ideas to help grow the channel!

You may be the Syd Barrett of car restoration , glad the seat trauma is resolved. The cats will guide you and the algorithm will provide .

I trust the cats. The algorithm, not so much! Haha

Perhaps DD Speed Shop would trade you a bucket of bondo and a 6 cylinder engine for that sweet bench seat.

[@charleykeenan6171]

This is honestly one of my favorite projects going on KZbin right now. Very doable, very approachable, well within the average enthusiasts abilty level. Bravo. I LOVE stuff like Scott's Fury over on CWM - but i don't ever see myself getting to the point i could/will do that. Tbis however restores a bit of hope. Realistically i would have about $3 to $5k getting a truck this vintage and getting it where this is. And it would still be a real truck, or as used to call these builds "a shop truck".. Thanks Kyle and much appreciated 👍

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Charley!

[@anthonywright774]

It's a damn shame that you are burned out and no longer want to do metal fabrication, Red Green comedy never got off the ground either, you seem to attract the Saturday morning cartoon audience like 12 and under, who ever is directing your comedy club is brilliant in letting you think you are funny, keep up the good work

[@PapiDoesIt]

I can totally relate to this video. People who tell me what they don't like about my truck don't have to ride in it. Their opinion means nothing unless they want to contribute the money to buy the parts that are more to their liking. I have 2005 Scion TC seats and they're comfortable, and only cost me $50 for the pair.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

If you don`t like people, there`s a Seinfeld quote made just for you. Elaine bitches about people who get on a plane sitting next to you with nothing to read and just annoy you for the next 6 hours. She says "I will NEVER understand people." Jerry says "They`re the WORST!." He`s not wrong. Cats, on the other hand, are the best. The most no- bullshit animal on 4 feet. And here`s something you may not know about cats. The only difference between a Siberian tiger and a domestic Fluffy is the tiger is bigger, otherwise they`re the same animal with all the same abilities. Once I learned that, I never looked at cats the same way again.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha that's a great quote! Thanks for the info on cats too!

[@grinpick]

Before posting this comment I did a little research and found that "deckle" is actually an accepted proununciation of decal in Canada. Who knew? But regarding the seat that you denounced with such passion: looks to me like it has a fold-down arm rest. What's not to like about that? I would tell you not to throw it in the dumpster because somebody will definitely want it. But on second thought, I don't think you throw anything in the dumpster.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Well the arm rest is completely useless with a manual transmission, but don't worry the seat didn't get thrown away! It's going in the truck I will be selling, that way someone else can throw it away haha

[@kenstevens5675]

I was driving back from a show in my 35 Ford at 65 mph and a clod in a Chrysler 300 passed me and immediately got in front of me, I won’t repeat the words in my mouth. Then he did the same thing to my friend that I was following.😡

[@blaircrocker9845]

You and coldwar motors are the best underated channels out there. Love the whole im so chill and a cat on hot rocks vibe you got. Yeah i hated those seats too oh and people on the roads or just people in general. The hack and pack job on Scott's old Studebaker in the rain at night was epic amount of hackery all that was needed was some licence plates and some old metal fly screen to form panels. Not that ive done that more than twice......... Looking forward to the truck build.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha thank you!

[@tonyboloni64]

Much hated car seat.....or new front porch furniture? You know what would really set off that white dash for a custom effect? A Hello Kitty sticker. PS, Nice subliminal advertisement for Strongs Garage.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I like the way you think. Hello Kitty sticker upgrades coming soon!

[@grabthar1944]

But Kyle, what I want to know is how do you feel about the old bench seat?

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

It's great! Haha

[@glennreach6930]

So, stop beating about the bush, do you hate that seat or not!?🥸

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I changed my mind, it's great!

[@wimtillaart8671]

I love your sense of humour Carter. And your cats.

Not adding a Cold War Motors sticker? That just won't do.......

[@chrisconrod9560]

Kyle, I'm sure you know by now that my comments have zero value so you don't need to respond. I'm just trying to tweak the algorithm in hopes it will get you more views. You should have a wider audience. Everyone should be aware of the dangers of sudden onset dementia.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha thanks Chris!

[@15743_Hertz]

No, no! The radiator's not dead, it's just restin' after a long squonk!

[@AlanG58]

That was the longest and most passionate dissertation against a seat in recorded history. You should have put it in the back of your truck. That way when you saw the train approaching you could have tied the seat to the train tracks, like in those old movies!

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Hahah thanks! Great idea for the seat disposal!

[@russdavis1960]

The 3 speed w/over drive unit you mentioned is what I installed in my '77 C10. I (at once upon a time) had a '58 Impala with the 3 speed and overdrive and a friend had a '61 Biscayne with one also. He decided he wanted to install a 4 speed so I bought his 3 speed and had it in storage for decades, finally using it in the C10 a few years ago. Keep up the good work and I'm glad you got your shop truck back to a functional state.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks Russ! The 3 speed with overdrive would have been way cooler than the T5, but overall I'm happy with the outcome

[@gogogeedus]

Where's your chicken wire and plaster fella! GET IT RIGHT!😡

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha sorry

[@johnanchovie2b]

Amazing bondo work. It is an art form really.

[@65bugnut]

Whatever that stuff was that you put on the truck turned out nice. At first I thought it was shoe polish. I painted the side of my pick-up bed with rattle cans. It didn't look half bad.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah it's too bad rattle cans have gotten so expensive! Oh well haha

[@pnuts1649]

That seat is the worst seat I ever sat in. My 92 GMC had that seat and it was the first thing I had to get rid of. Even new......... they sucked. Yours lasted longer than mine (2 months). Your truck but, that thing screams patina paint job to me in the original blue of course. Old work trucks should look like work trucks, not guzzy up POS. Keep it a work truck where you can use it for work. Also, that truck is pretty quiet going down the road. I think you will love the overdrive transmission. Nice steering wheel, looks really great.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Haha at least I'm not the only one who hates these seats. The idea is to paint the truck with single stage. That way, between being parked outside and getting used as a truck it won't take long to get a natural patina

[@valuepack2]

Your rage wasn't misguided, that seat stinks. I decided yesterday to buy a 200hp motorcycle, and I'll still agree people drive too fast. Truck looks and sounds great, buddy, it shaped up nicely. Cheers, from New Hampshire.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Enjoy the new motorcycle!

[@syyenergy7]

I know that you're joking, but that Bondo could last a long time with the rubberized undercoating over it. As long as the water doesn't get to it. It does stick to rough rust pretty good. Roofing tar seals up stuff very good too. Then when the real body man get sit, he'll curse out the guy that poured roofing tar into the bottom of the doors. It "works" though. As long as it keeps the water out, the rust will not spread further.

[@roomwithapointofview]

I'm not a detective, but I play one on the internets, so I'm just going out on a limb, taking a stab at it, make an inquiry, that you have a problem with the seat? I drive a 92 GMC Sierra, and that seat, looks a lot like the seat, except mine is blue, in it. Also, there seems to be some kind of discussion occurring about the pronunciation of the word decal. Does anyone see two e's? Deecal? Most likely coming from the crowd that pronounces the word wash, as warrsh. When building any media empire, one must always remember they need to pander to the lowest common denominator, and make it borderline simple, so even they understand it. But not so simple, even they they are being pandered to, and get offended.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Hahaha nice detective work! In the future, I'll try harder to pander to the lowest common denominator and be less offensive.

[@ssan3257]

Love you lecture about "people". I agree completely.

[@robray6408]

The Carrier bearings aren't that great of a design with coil springs on a 60 Chevy Belair either, replaced a few of them over the years that fell apart like the ones you showed.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah seems like a common problem

[@urasuras7514]

The ending had me cracking up with all the shuffling side to side, looks like you are turning into Bad Kyle

[@ianwright40]

I have watched lots of your video's and assumed you were almost competent in body repair. So what happens today... You try to fill holes with Bondo. Man, that will never work. You have to use a Cornflakes box. If the shape is complicated, ( I know you don't do complicated shapes) use something like a cotton blanket..... You kids.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Using the box is for hacks. I mix the corn flakes right into the filler.

WTF? That sure looked nice with the goop on it. That seat woulda pissed me off too, I'm fat, lol. I had a 5 speed once, 84 Toyota, it went nice in 1, 3, 5. Felt like a 3 speed. I've always love a 3 speed on a V8. I wish I still had all the model cars I built. Some were even morphs, lol. My 62 C50 has the "real" steady bearing mount. I had to add 6 inches to it to accommodate the V8 difference. Cheers to Scott and Paul for the driveshaft offers. You drive like me. Sensible. My 62 bus goes 95 to 100 Km now with the new 22.5" on it. I gear down at every stop, hardly touch the brakes. With the red bottles, it turns heads, lol. 2 grand to 2200. That's good enough. I'm slowing them all down. They're safer, lol. Theses comments are all f'd up, watched 3 times to comment on as much as I could. 3 ceasers and and a J, lol. I watched Scott's video and yours, guess I'll go watch those Russians kill another Lada, lol. Cheers, bud.

[@wackowacko8931]

If you use this as a work truck and you want to paint it - look into commercial coatings from whatever brand you like to use. I use PPG, and they have a lot of different types of commercial coatings that are considerably cheaper than automotive paint and still have a wide array of colors, including different shades of light blue. For instance, I use AUE--300 on frames, it dries hard and doesn't chip and is not affected by most chemicals. It is cheaper than powder coating and can be repaired. The full cure time on it is 30-60 days (like most enamels), in which it can be dented so as long as it is sitting and unused, it should cure very hard and last a long time. It also takes an activator and hardener in order to get that film strength.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks for the paint suggestions!

Your 66 brings back many many memories of the 65 Chevrolet I had when I was 20ish (66 now). The most vivid memory was when I pulled up to a curb to park. The front tire caught the curb, then the steering wheel spun out of my grip, a crack in the wheel ripped open the web between my thumb and finger (nasty). I will remember that forever! I see by the new crack-less steering wheel on yours, you will never have that problem.

I had a carrier bearing break loose on a '65 C-10. Ended up using a bunch of baling wire to tie it back up in there to make it the 20 miles home. Never was a fan of the things afterwards. That ol' 65 Chevy ended up with a hood off a 66 GMC (along with fancy chrome jet/bird hood ornament) and was originally while. I had sanded and rattle can primered the surface rust on it and my first wife hated it. I worked evenings and someone gave her a gallon can of blue enamel and I came home one night and she'd brush painted it. It stayed like that for years after I sold it to my brother (who replaced the Chevy 230 six with a GMC 305 V-6. When I had to drive it to North Caroling and back from Texas, that ol 230 six had a rocker arm come loose and dent up the valve cover. That I fixed on the side of the road. Also had the fan belt break and I made it to the next exit where I bought a new one and installed it. On the return trip, I had one of the ancient tires blow out.

Not all of us can afford a cushy 5 gallon paint bucket, so we make do with what we have!

I had an 89 CRX with both sweet, factory, exposed "patina" foam, seats. Four of the five kids to haul around at the time. The driver's seat (the only one to be concerned about) had a broken seat-back bracket, which I "repaired" with an orange crate propping it forward at the expense of rear illegal passenger legroom. They had short legs. It was fine. . .

Always an enjoyable time with your "sharkazm" and videos. Keep up the good work.. @@CarterAutoRestyling

[@narrowgaugegreg]

please don't respond, make a video or pet a cat. better yet, go get that puppy already, they are content gold. imagine all of the footage you could get just from trying to keep a puppy away from all the sketchy stuff in the shop. i'd watch that and the cat channel too. i still want the cat channel, so do my 5 cats... and my puppy...

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

I made a video and pet the cats, now I'm replying instead of getting a puppy

Its a nice restoration. Buying it when you were 13 make me wish I had my first pickup great story thanks 😊

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Thanks for watching!

It really seems that the truck is an amazingly good ride. I am not used to anything better than that. Last week I was driving a classic vehicle through mountain roads. I greeted an oncoming beautiful 58 Cadillac convertible and the driver greeted back. He was followed by a senile idiot in an overpriced Sixties Mercedes convertible. This guy did really drive three feet over the middle line. It was a miracle I could avoid being hit as the road was narrow and of course it happened in a curve. I hate bad drivers as well! And the world is full of them.

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Yeah these trucks were pretty far ahead of their time in the ride and handling department. Other than the lack of power steering it doesn't drive a whole lot different than a modern truck

I know (or hope) you were joking about those camping seats but did you know that the Citroen 2CV actually did have seats that resembled camping seats?
