Hasn’t run in 30 years will it start

[@SesameStreetRacingChannel]

Purrs like a kitten...nothing like waking up a tired old truck after a long slumber.

[@jimford2338]

Did the same thing to my 63 C30 with a 283. Marvel is marvelous ! Purrs like a kitten!

[@andynicoll8566]

Man, you just can't kill those old six's.

[@christophershea2952]

Yes GM & Ford made some bullet proof 6cyl back in the day.

[@RESTORATIONRESCUE]

Incredible job. You are like the C10 doctor. You do amazing things to these trucks.

[@MrFireman164]

Love it that your dad is still with us, good stuff right there runs good.

[@Gibson63.]

Big daddy is doing great to be 77

[@redherring4335]

I have a soft spot for old stepside trucks. I wish mine still had its original 6.

[@budsodalsky]

Thanks for keeping the orig 6! Anyone can shove new tech in anything - It takes a real man to find, build and restore old parts and engines! If they break down, you won't be scratching your head on the side of the highway waiting for Triple A to tow you! A set of points, and very few tools and you are back running again! 70 - 80 mph if you desire!

[@bigskychevyguys8842]

Hard to kill those straight 6's ! Pretty reliable workhorses. Keep it original. Nice.

[@vm722]

Awesome work and video. You can soldier on a new neck on that radiator. Keep up the great videos 👍

[@primeredisbest]

That sure is a beautiful truck my friend! I am amazed that you can find so many trucks this model! You're a very smart and blessed man my friend!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Awesome! I got excited hearing that old girl fire up.

[@jeremiahgonzalez1032]

I feel good that we got the motor started

[@jodaddysdodgegarage3533]

From seized for 30 years to running on one turn of the key, congratulations are in order for you! Nice job on that straight six Chevrolet! 😎

[@dannyplanck6498]

I had one just like it way back when . I would love to have another one . 😮

[@Slugg-O]

That brought back memories when I was 10 helping my dad put a Pontiac V8 in a 62 half ton. He bought it with a 6 banger that had a cracked block. So much of what I know today came from working with him on that truck. I washed parts in the back yard in an oil pan filled with gas. No gloves. No mask. That's how it was done back then. That looks like a very clean truck. Thank you for the video.

[@dustinsirrine227]

Yep it sure was done that way in my family as well, we never thought of metal on metal making a spark 😮 Thankfully it never happened, right... Keep On Trucking Brother👍...

[@stevestock2439]

Nice work as usual. Thinking when the ignition went south he had a hell of a backfire and blew the muffler up. Then probably parked it for a thirty year nap. It has woke up nice!

[@jessegonzales6780]

Looking forward watching your videos. Can't wait till you do your breaks and your clutch, 6 cylinder sounds pretty strong.🇺🇸

[@EngTecher]

I am going to see this video again and Mexican the steps you took with your truck. I think I have left a comment before that I have a 1955 1/2 ton with a 235 6 cylinder engine. Also in the works is a 1963 C10 fleet side with a V8. I can not to see the next video.

[@txwing99]

love these videos!!! How i miss my old '63! :)

[@jkimpala6651]

Engine sounds great for not running in 30 years. Can't beat those old inline 6's.

[@Gibson63.]

Yes it’s running great I idle it down and put a muffler on the back one strong engine

[@dustinsirrine227]

Makes you wonder why they parked the 63 C10 back in the day???? Keep On Trucking Brother's👍...

[@jkimpala6651]

@Gibson63. it's about the same amount of time for the 327 in our 66 Impala. It will still be a bit, but can't wait to fire it up again.

[@jacktolmachoff7547]

I knew it would run I have a 63 6 cylinder like yours you can let them sit for ever go out and pour some gas in the carb and they'll fire right up. thanks for the video's learning a lot

[@dustinsirrine227]

Great old 230 I6, older neighbor of mine told me "if it's got compression and no Rod's knocking it will run" Don Austin of Mattawan Michigan passed away, he had one of the last old Selvage Yards in our area. I have to check points rotor & cap in my 63 C10's 292 I6 after putting a different ignition Wiring Harness on it finally turned over last summer. Thanks for sharing Brother Gibs, it was great to hear Big Daddy's voice again, may God continue to bless you both each day... Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs & Big Daddy👍...

[@Gibson63.]

Yes, I can’t believe this old motor is running smooth as it is just idle it down earlier and put a muffler on it

[@dustinsirrine227]

@Gibson63. I wonder why they parked that old truck? I'm happy you found it and putting her back in shape and on the road again Brother Gibs. Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs👍...

[@tedcorey3054]

Crazy how good it runs . I'd hold on to the other radiator , there's probably a shop that can replace the filler neck .

[@Telephony954]

Way kool. Won't be long, and this one is gonna break your heart. Be well.

[@rsonweb2060]

Wonder why it was parked. I'm doing a 63 Chevy Biscayne that sit on the farm for 42 years. I found that the exhaust pipe was smashed flat from the gravel roads it lived on. Of course at the time when you parked a car it instantly became a donor vehicle.

[@hermyherm365]

I’m liking this rig more and more

[@imjoshuacase6335]

She sounds good! Love those old trucks.

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Super cool you got it running. Love those Chevy L6 motors. My 71 C10 still has the original 250 engine.

[@johnnywooten7199]

Engine sounds good Steve , Truck Shop in Concord N.C. has everything you need for that truck and not bad prices.

[@Captainfab406]

You need the ballstud and bracket to bolt up between the clutch bellcrank and the block.

[@Gibson63.]

I found the ballstud bracket and spring in needed pulled from another Engine I had

[@DarrylzssDarrylG]

Looking good Gibson. Let's go for a ride soon.

[@yamilcharif6255]

I have the original gas tank of my 63 in very good condition. If you pay shipping I’ll donate it.

[@luisbatista1103]

Great video content 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@adriantomlin2902]

Awesome stuff man 💪👍

[@mback12000]

Enjoyed the video... nice work there.

[@phooesnax]

Looking good

[@donchoate13]

LOL Big Daddy says u r flooding it , reminds me of something my Dad would say to me back in the day , we spent quite a bit of time together messing with those old Chevys. He would say if it’s getting fire n gas it ought to hit n run , maybe not too good though. Man I sure miss him

[@Slugg-O]

Same. I remember my dad saying, "Awright, bump the starter. Again. Again. Again. STOP!"

[@rodmacisaac5963]

Thanks for another great video!

[@MikeyMack303]

That is a sweet running engine!

[@mironeko3820]

Old 235 sounds good

[@dustinsirrine227]

If it's an original 1963 C10 engine, 63 was the first year for the New 230 I6 cylinder engine, they also offered for the first time that year the 292 I6 cylinder engine in the 63 C10's... Keep On Trucking Brother👍...

[@UnconventionalMetal]

Sounds great

[@VaughnZerkle]

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tokslut]

[@rcman75]

Thanks Monte

[@Gibson63.]

Thanks a lot man I was looking for the clutch rod bracket that bolts to the block and in up finding one out back so hopefully I’m good to go Thanks again

[@rickallen6378]

That's a great truck. What is that guitar doing laying in the back of the truck?

[@Gibson63.]

When a good song comes on the radio, I’ll pick it up and jam lol

[@rickallen6378]

Is that a Martin of some sort?

[@Gibson63.]

@@rickallen6378 it an old Starcaster by fender great sounding guitar sounds just as good as some of my vintage guitars, homeless lady wanted 20 bucks I gave her 40 it’s a great shop guitar

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir!!!

[@robertrock8411]

Love it!!!!

[@thisguy1875]

Yes sir,, less get it

[@mjm7187]

Another treasure!

[@rontownsend8235]

It will run maybe not for long, but it will run

[@coltonupchurch4368]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@rontownsend8235]

So you see now

[@joehuinker7009]

Rochester carb

[@sinistersilverado965]

I wouldn't waste my time on that engine, LS swap it

[@azroadposer]

This is the way. Unfortunately these 6 cylinders won’t keep up with traffic w/o breaking the bank.

[@SesameStreetRacingChannel]

Why?..."Don't fix what ain't broke"...These old 6 bangers have been purring along for decades.

[@spankybear]

Heathen!

[@Road_Rash]

​​​@@SesameStreetRacingChannelbecause you can only drive it locally... that tired old straight 6 will never keep up with traffic on the interstate these days... it'll be a rolling road block...it needs a V8 swap... carburated at the very least, but a fuel injected LS would be better...

[@vm722]

A Rear end swap. Put in a 373 ratio off a newer chevy. It gets a new freeway personality. 😂

[@spankybear]

I love them Chevy 6s... one cool thing to do is to get a HEI ignition from a later model 6. It's easy and a huge improvement.
