From a heap of scrap metal to a beautifully resurrected old pickup awesome absolutely 💯 worth every minute to watch this video ❤

Your Dad is Awesome he must be a old School Mechanic that knows his stuff

[@theetravisb]

He does he’s awesome

[@ronaldvanhorn9558]

I see how much wisdom and knowledge your Dad has. He has taught you a lot. Senior citizens should be respected honored. Just sit down and talk to them. They have experienced life and know a lot! The Lord bless you and your Dad!

[@theetravisb]

Thank you. I learn alot from my dad

[@KOrnhOliO1]

We Seniors also have a lot of very fun stories that'll probably blow yer mind! 🤯

[@steeliewheelies]

These start to finish episodes are so satisfying

[@johnkendrick7304]

All I'm going to say is I love Dad! Every time I watch this I think of my own dad God rest his soul. He's the best

[@bruzer59]

Hey Travis, you’re really impressing us. with your abilities. it’s a beautiful thing to watch you resurrect that beautiful old iron

[@theetravisb]

Appreciate the support means alot we put our hearts in it

[@dodgezeek3867]

@@theetravisbI’m 19 almost 20 and I love old cars and trucks like this and videos like yours make me wanna fix one up to become a fun daily driver, love the videos and keep up the good work like you always do

[@msomusicco]

Nice to see you actually rebuilding a motor rather than just just getting one that's already rebuilt. Like most do on you tube. Good Job, Travis! Learn all you can from your Dad, it is wonderful he is helping you.

[@craigconroy3785]

Great transformation, loved watching this all the way through. Nice work on the engine too. I inherited my fathers tools & he had some old snap on stuff & other very early gauge tuning equipment, love. it 👍

[@davidrobinson5943]

Great job guys father and son working together nicely done and thanks for sharing your content

[@rtw67intx]

Dad saves the day 😁. He is a national treasure… reminds me so much of my dad (may he rest in peace). Love your videos and seeing you guys work on stuff together. Thank you for saving so many old things, and for sharing the experience.

[@anthonypilla2788]

What I like so much about your show is that you do things the way most of us do it. The hard way, we don’t have a lot of equipment or a lot of money to spend, but yet we get the project done. Keep up the good work. I really like your show.

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

What an epic adventure, thanks for bringing along. I think you covered the full Gamet of turning a rust bucket into a relic. You and your dad and all who took part in this monumentous project deserve the utmost credit.

[@Dreatnought1966]

Speaking of old tools. I changed a wheel on my wife's car on Friday. I always use an old wheel cross for this. It was so dirty that I once cleaned it with steel wool. Surprisingly there were 2 stamps on it one with a small imperial eagle WaA 735 ( Waffenamt Kfz Opel Blitz part ) then the stamp JzB which means manufacturer was = Carl Mesenhöller, Werkzeugfabrik, Remscheid-Hasten, Volkshaus 6, Germany The year of manufacture was March 3,43, 1943. You can see how long tools last if you take care of them. Greetings from Germany and I like to see u keep making such beautiful videos.

[@1944chevytruck]

I like the yellow lights on all the time.... Good job boyz!

Gentleman, I was born and raised in the diesel and gasoline mechanical field of expertise, at my 72 years of age been there, done that but once I have seen you video and your toys it gave me the nostalgia and wanted to be there with you guys seen your project transformation, I am dying to be around by but I am thousands of miles away, would of been full entertainment, at my age it is no longer a job, it is pure entertainment, please be safe and keep us posted, I can't wait to see your.project progress, blessings to you and your love ones, most kind of you for sharing it with us, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

IM ROOTING FOR YA BROTHER ! MY DAD HAD SEVERAL OF THESE TRUCKS GROWING UP IN THE 70S THATS MY DREAM TRUCK ! 😁✌❤

[@commonsenseasleep]

You and your dad are truly awesome 😊! So wholesome to see

[@jesseripley4562]

I am about half way through, I love it. You didn't just let it go, you took the time and did the work. The best part is that you recorded and uploaded it!

[@RayScrafield]

Travis, I used to sell tools to all the shops and one of my Union 76 stations burned to the ground because of one of those old drop lights. They had it hanging from a cord reel and one day they were using it over an engine bay and it dropped and broke the bulb. The spark from the bulb lit off some flammable liquid, gas or oil. That's why most shops stopped using incandescent droplights and shifted to flourescent/LED lights. Be very careful with that light. There's a reason they are in antique shops.

[@theetravisb]

Interesting thanks for the tip

[@jeffwright9431]

I used one of those lights a lot back in the 70's-80's. Still have it. As I remember you could buy a heavy duty bulb that had a coating on it to resist bumping around and breaking.

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

I thought I was having Deja Vu, then i realized what the description said. I seen this truck before. 😂😂 so you hooked me into watching again, you rascal. Nah its all good. Im a Dodge truck Guy but i still love old Detroit steel. 👍🏻👏from Toledo.

[@theetravisb]

Haha gotcha

[@antoniocovarrubias7831]

That 235 sounds very healthy, thats what I got in my 53 this are very good engines they run for ever with little mantainance good job.

[@johnoquinn5049]

I've been watching these types of channels for at least 10 years, Travis's channel is my #1 favorite

[@theetravisb]

That means a lot thank you

[@scottjones1497]

Hey Travis, Scott from KY here. I’ve been watching KZbin videos like this for many years. Seen a lot come and go. I think that you have got it! No BS and a bunch of dumb laughing at everything. Great editing and hard work. That’s my two cents. Good luck. Great video

[@flowerstone]

I love those 235s. Glad you went with it.

[@CyberBrew]

Huge props for getting the old 216 up and running enough to give her one more moment of glory in her original home and now being put to a great cause. Kudos! Loved every minute of it.

[@robertwest3093]

I gotta say ever since Dalton from PBG recommended your channel I have been hooked! And when your dad is around it’s that much better 👍🏻

[@theetravisb]

That’s awesome to hear glad you tuned in

[@martinduruisseau2372]

Same here! I came her via JYD , PBG channels 😅 . Best regards from the Netherlands 👋👍 and yes your dad sounds like Sam Elliot;)

[@theetravisb]

This is a compilation of 6 videos dad and I did on this truck earlier this year. It’s the whole build in 1 video

[@kjh789az]

Thanks for giving us a start to finish experience in a single episode. The whitewall tyres and the visor look really sharp! I'll be re-playing this one....

[@space-pop3527]

I love the Chevy! I had a 1950 GMC (similar to your Chevy). When I was in the Army, my older brother gave it to his father in law so I never saw it again. what a great relationship you have with your dad.

[@schlick93ify]

I’m a Chevy guy & this is my favorite body style Chevy truck! I had a 49 with a V8 police interceptor motor in it, I’m a glass guy & I was in the process of cutting new glass for it when someone stopped at my house & offered me a price I couldn’t refuse so I sold it, these days my project vehicle is something newer with a lot of luxury, a 1991 Chevy G20 van I love the old 70s 80s & early 90s Chevy vans!

[@kevinvremanconstruction5845]

One of your best videos, Travis! Keep it up. Fly and drives are cool, but this was less dramatic and more of what I want. Your dad is a gem, but I know that you know that.

[@smarthome2660]

I love how you dad always has the answer or the part you need.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Travis and Rick. You and your dad are truly a Dynamic Duo.

That is one of your nicer trucks, Travis..I love it. I can't imagine having a Dad like yours to work with.

[@Telephony954]

What a sweet effort. Now this is how you make a post. Love the results. These old chevys are my favorites. simple, reliable, and now gone. Be well.

[@robertwest3093]

My friend, for a truck that has been sitting for nearly sixty years it is VERY solid and straight. This era of Chevy trucks is hands down my favorite. My brother has a 1954 3100 that has been updated to a 350 and a 4 speed that he is currently doing a frame off resto on. I like how thorough you are when you are working on something. Keep up the great work!

[@santiagouzabal8151]

A really amazing video and a gorgeus final result. Congratulations from Spain.

[@garcdonald]

That is the coolest truck I've ever seen. Fantastic job and a lot of fun. Except for the `welding', nice attention to respect for the elders!

[@paulmeinke9461]

Great restoration... Took me 3 different days to watch it, but well worth the time spent. Thank you.

[@BobFurman]

I watched every minute with rapt attention...great job on this project! I like the long-form videos just as much as the shorter ones. You and your Dad do excellent work, and your resourcefulness is noteworthy!

[@annalorree]

Your dad sounds a bit like Sam Elliot. Looks like a great restoration, and you’re going to be extremely grateful to have this recorded in years to come. Thanks for sharing this!

[@jerrodsimmons8356]

Just stumbled across your video while scrolling. I love watching anything being restored so your video caught my eye. I’m not a car guy personally but enjoyed watching you work with your dad. Those are memories that’ll never be forgotten! I’m a cabinetmaker by trade & I try to involve my dad with that just to hang onto the memories. The ole truck turned out awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@theetravisb]

Yeah it’s great being able to work with your dad

[@atticustheory7]

I was just tooling around the tubes and caught this video, liked it so I subscribed. Now I have a 1941 Chevy 3/4 ton staring at me, and so it begins. Great videos.

Very nice! Lot of work, but the old buggy looks pretty solid. Best wishes from an Alaskan junk car junkie

Sorry but first time watching your Chanel that truck looks great and I think you should do a full restoration paint it make that engine looks and work new even I see looks like originally the truck was sky-blue after that enjoy it I love it and just imagine how will look 😀 ❤❤❤❤

This is what I needed today ! Really enjoyed watching you & Your Dad work together the way y'all re-use or fix something instead of throwing parts at it . This is actually my favorite build ! Well that old crane video & your Diesel videos are definitely runners up . Thanks for the KeWL Videos Travis ! Godspeed on your Travels & Adventures !

[@alexvhomes]

Funny how your amazed with your dad. I had my son when I was 20. He’s 27 now and is still amazed about what I did when I was 27. All I can say is I’m glad my son has lived longer with less big people problems.i promise he didn’t suffer. It’s a trade off

[@lomgshorts3]

Travis, I remember doing all these things on my 52 Willys. L 134 flat head Jeep in 1978. It was great fun at that time, spent over $500 rebuilding the engine and the T-90 tranny. Everything American made, too! I drove that M38A1 for twenty years before I stupidly sold it off - wish I still had it now

[@garyfeltus9801]

I'm a couple of days behind on your video. Great job. You got lucky with your dad having that head. Your dad bought tools when the were good tools . They build as good of tools today. Hang on to them .

[@tylerschmitt8729]

Cool video Travis, you should look into setting up your own electrolysis tank for heads, blocks, etc. Cheap and easy. It does a great job at cleaning up/removing rust from heads, water jackets, blocks, etc if you're wanting to do a lot of it yourself.

[@robdunson]

Man you are a lucky man to be able to get to do stuff like this with your dad

[@martinparr193]

I used to have a 49 GMC 3/4 ton with the original sun visor, it was a 6-volt positive ground system, your video brings back some memories.

[@Pugs72]

Another great video! I bet it’s super fun to cruise around in that ol girl! Shout out to pops! He brings back so great memories of my pops! You and him have cars and pick up, mine had antique Harley’s.

[@starionslider2116]

Love your channel. My current driver is a 49 gmc 150 that looked very close to yours when i drug it from a 2nd story of a old garage. I put a stock gm 5.3 LS in it with ENTIRE stock driveline from trans back. 3 speed on the column. I put a aluminum rad in it and even AC. Still starts on the foot stomp starter, kept enclosed driveline for a long time but later swapped to open drive with a 3 speed with the borg warner electric overdrive. Dropping a LS in it with minimal parts wasn’t bad at all. Made motor mounts, bent up shift linkage around v8 cylinder head, hooked up all the factory mechanical gauges. Stock tank feeds a frame mounted fuel pump and works great. Its got radials on it and i drive that thing everywhere. It will drive down highway at 75 mph with 1 finger on the wheel all day and is happy to cruise anywhere you point it. Ice cold AC and nice warm updated heater core in stock box. Great trucks.

[@timjordan3671]

Great job! I like how you put some new parts in the cab, too many others leave something to be desired. Your hard work will pay off.

[@lasalleman6792]

Great find. I like that GMC in your shop too!

[@peterparsons7141]

Nice job. I live in the north and we don’t get to have many vehicles that survive because of chassis and body rust. We do have access to mechanical equipment so that’s a resource we still have access to. I had to laugh when you showed off your dad’s “Antique” snap-on bearing tool, from the ‘80’s. I worked for snap-on tools in the seventies when I was just finished high school in 1978 and it was like a slap in the face to think of myself as an antique,, more a moment of realizing that I must be old…..wtf…. I definitely like vehicles from the 50s and 60s because of their simplicity and repair options. Thanks for sharing your work, and keeping these machines running. I’m looking for something to drive in the summer and have been watching for a truck that really talks to me. My last one was a ‘65 Plymouth Savoy, 3 on the tree slant 6 and was fun, fun, fun., never went any where fast, but sure and steady and guaranteed to get you to your destination!

[@Ronald-n4b]

Love your videos good job 👍 as always. Thank you kindly for taking me with you on your journey. Hopefully when I'm in town see your old truck.

[@johnhenderson3646]

I love seeing that old Air Force blue in the door jams. Being an A/F brat, I was used to seeing these on bases where we lived. My dad got a '64 at auction. He rattle canned it some ugly green and I learned how to drive in that thing.

[@CharlesColeman-m2h]

Well done, Very nice old truck. Enjoyed the long vid, Gives one time to get interested

[@RayScrafield]

Travis, something I learned a long time ago, and I have no idea of it's veracity, when a radiator sits for a long time and completely dries out, the scale inside of it will chip off and clog the tubes. So, it's a smart thing to do to fill it up and give it a real good flush out. When you take a radiator off, if it has fluid in it, store it that way. Full up is the best way to keep it moist inside. Ask your Dad and see if he has heard that. I'd be curious. Also, you never did tell us how you made the fan blade fit. What did you end up doing?

[@scottjones1497]

Yes thank you DAD. Fathers like you are in high demand but in short supply.

[@jimmiebrown5014]

Those tires look really good on that truck I like that

[@Rasputin-p4e]

I gave him a thumbs up just because of the beautiful honing job on this motor. I would've done what he said right after though and sent that to a machine shop just to level the deck and do some valve work.

For pilot bushing I’ve used a balled up soaking wet paper towel. Stuff it in and the water pushes bushing out. Less messy than grease.

[@1deckape]

That reminds me of the truck I learned to drive on, a 54 GMC with 3 on the tree. Believe it or not, I was living in Tucson at the time.

I’m a dodge guy too, I was driving a 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 but it developed the infamous lifter tick issue & it just kept getting worse so I sold it & bought my 2nd 2007 dodge ram 1500, my 1st one was so good to me I decided to get another one.
