How do you repair a classic truck that's beyond saving?

[@BustedClassicGarage]

As far as drivetrain. Should I put the reliable 305 in out of the Camaro or build a 350 or 400 sbc?

[@UnconventionalMetal]

If it’s just a driver, the 305 is fine. If you want some power, 350 or 400. Or you could do a 383.

"I'm gonna put a motor in this thing in a few weeks and drive it". Same thing I said to myself when I picked up my 72 a couple of months ago. Oh well, it will be worth it when we get it all done.

[@BustedClassicGarage]

For sure Kevin! Our time will come!

Thanks Bart. Great video. I am always learning a lot from your videos.

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Thanks you!

[@joshroland]

Great video. I am really enjoying this. I hope to start soon on my 69.

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Thanks, good luck with your project.

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Nice work saving this one. My goodness thats alot of rust. My 81 was also intended just to be a driver and ran into alot of the same issues once I got into it. Great video

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Oh yea its unreal! Maybe one year both of us will be able to drive our "intended to be a driver" projects. lol

[@DoubleRRestorations]

@@BustedClassicGarage lol, I hope so

[@dyamariv3628]

Nice to see you back with the C10's brother! Holy Crap, that's friggen ambitious, total respect, I'd be petrified and not know where to start! Looking forward to part deux!😎

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Trust me I felt the same way. But went for it anyways. Have to keep learning and pushing yourself no matter what.

[@averygassner2939]

All I can say Bart love the video and you are badass you do such nice work!!!

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Thanks dude! That means a lot!

[@dannynguyen5883]

Its pretty awesome that you're skilled at welding to repair metal in the truck. If I want to save some money I'm gonna have to learn to weld to replace rusted drain behind the kicker air vent. Great video, I needed this as it is very educational for me!

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Nice, glad I could help. And definitely learn to weld, it's a great skill to have, especially if you are restoring these old classics.

[@wvfd114]

About time!! Maybe drag week 2024.

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Hahaha. Maybe! But most likely Cursemaro 2024

[@kurtwendt]

Awesome Video! Can't wait to see more of the progress. Too bad It couldn't just be stabbed with a new drivetrain and Roadkilled.

[@BustedClassicGarage]

I mean it could of but the last owners friend told me they named it something like rattle trap or something along those lines. LOL

[@8luggarage]

If these trucks only knew how much we loved them 😂. My 72 is down to the frame currently, hoping to paint the frame within the next week or so. Then i can start assembly of the chassis. Once the cab is on ill be bouncing off the walls

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Oh man, ain't that the truth! Hahaha! I can't wait till my frame is all restored on my 71.

[@8luggarage]

I wish guys like us could get our trucks all fixed up and have a meet-up somewhere. That would be way to fun

[@BustedClassicGarage]

@zfdmax for sure probably wouldn't be till the year 2530... lmao! At least for me.

[@UnconventionalMetal]

Almost ten thousand subs👍

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Slowly getting there. Lol

[@CarGuy2024]

I enjoy watching your videos, thanks! I have a '68 C10 that I am going to install a Muncie M20, curious as to what Muncie you are using...

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Thanks man! I'm also going to use a M-20. Bought it for my 71 C-10 years ago. Thank for watching!!!

[@CarGuy2024]

@@BustedClassicGarage What gearing are you going to use? I am looking to make my C10 more of a highway cruiser, so I am looking at possibly 3.42 or 3.23 gearing for it

[@BustedClassicGarage]

@@CarGuy2024 I'm going to run what's in it, 3.73.

[@Frankensteinfabrications]

i love your videos but at this point would it be better to find a new cab ??

[@BustedClassicGarage]

Probably... But I like the challenge and have most of the parts already.

[@Frankensteinfabrications]

@@BustedClassicGarage OH.............................well carry on my good man lol
