AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!! Finishing the 1964 GMC grain truck

Putting the finishing touches on Gus the grain hauler!

[@johnossendorf9979]

My Dad had a 64 single axel with the 305 ci (5.0 Leiter) V6 setup with a monorail and chain fall.

You did really well! You are a great dollar stretcher. I am enjoying your channel.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@jameslcoble248]

I honestly think it looks good. Id even take it to an antique tractor show

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on. Thanks!

[@anthonyblalock1790]

Nice truck and nice job

[@kurtreinhardt6789]

Great job- perfect for hauling grain in

[@chrisperdue5109]

It's not show truck it's working truck

[@MrOiram46]

That truck’s almost 60 years-old, it’s getting to the retirement/show truck age, its definitely earned it at the least

[@ClassicNathan]

I love that you aren't half assing it. You know what you're doing. You make the conscious choice to save time and money, and you know the end goal is to work in the field and park in the barn. I'm on the same page as you! (That might not be very high praise though)

[@vernegriffis5457]

As always the best videos on KZbin. Thanks JT

[@kurtjohnson3496]

Love the bicentennial plate!!! I have a couple of those myself 🤣

Looks really nice, but are you gonna straighten the bumper ? Fluffy is your faithful helper😂. Thanks for Sharing. 😊

Nice job man she looks good I just got done fixing up at 1995 GMC Topkick you’re like me new sucks old is more fun building with your own two hands you appreciate it more at the end of the day

[@garrystevens2295]

Yes couldn't agree more!!🤣🤣

[@koryleague8833]

Looks good. Alot of barnyard paint jobs running around. You ought to put a hitch on it and drag a gravity wagon with ya

[@GEROW1963]

Looks great JT, oh yeah I can't see it from my house. 👍👍

[@brianferguson6278]

Nice clean up of the grain truck, would like to see the front bumper hit a few times with a BIG hammer to straighten it a bit. But that's only real item that jumps out. Like the red, Farmal Tractors were Grey in the 30's, when they crossed gravel roads the cars could not see them, a lot of farmers lost their lives this way...so Farmal changed to Red to save farmers lives.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

That’s an interesting piece of history I did not know! I’ve seen some grey ones at tractor shows, but didn’t know why. Now I do 😉

You Sir, are amazing 😻

[@garrystevens2295]

Hey its a work truck not a show truck, but hey having a half decent and good looking work truck is pretty good

[@erenkoilehersey7946]

What engine does it have? Displacement and power etc.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

That is a 401 v6. I believe the tag is roughly 200 hp and 350 ft/lb of torque

[@robertsmida9601]

I want to see the other side of the truck. Didn't see you paint it or show it. I just found your channel and you are a trip. You like old iron so I wont hold it against you for liking a certain auto maker.

I wish I knew about this guy earlier,,great vid of course

[@richarddavis9548]

JT I'm a fairly recent subscriber and I appreciate your approach to things in that your videos are compact and concise with fluff edited out. Not a slam on your cat! A comment from Brian Ferguson 8 months ago gets a " second that motion" from me. I know you have a sledge hammer. Why didn't you straighten out the left side of the front bumper? That done I would have rated your job as excellent for the investment of time and money. I am a "perfectionist". I had a guy tell me years ago I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I said I'm not. He said you just said you are a perfectionist. I replied, the scope of my perfectionism is I EXPECTION perfection in OTHERS.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I appreciate you! There is a perfectly good reason for the bumper. ….. I did swing a 10 lb sledge hammer at that bumper before I painted it. It acts almost like spring steel. Bounced off 8-10 times, didn’t make a difference in the bend so I just let it go. I am hoping to find another for it in the future 😉

[@whistled46]

GOOD JOB JT!!

[@rickfournier3413]

Show us th other side

[@bluejay5528]

if you where buying and old 4x4 what would you buy

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Just my opinion, but 73-87 chevys are my favorite. That being said I do like the dent side and the bullnose fords as a close second. Any of those are in my opinion some of the best looking trucks ever made

[@randyholly2594]

Gus is all gussied up!

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! She turned out to be a good looking old rig!

[@TheRealDrJSquared]

Why did you paint it red, other than that was the previous color. I have a 1955 GMC grain truck and its bed sides are red. In fact, just about every grain truck I’ve ever seen has red bed sides, but I can’t find anyone that knows why. Anyone on here know why?

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

like I mentioned in the video, everything I used on this truck to paint it was all left-overs form other projects. I took all the reds(Massey and gm victory red) and poured them together and painted the box. the blue was also leftovers. that’s why I called it “victory Ferguson red”.

[@abcdef-qk6jf]

Try painting something outside and make it bright yellow... It'll attract beetles quicker than the speed of light. They could be downwind 3 states away in a full blown storm.... It's not a butterfly flapping it's wings in Beijing causing chaos. You only need to think... bright yellow... and every creepy crawly will know your exact location before you get to be thinking yellow... Spiders are in a league of their own. Any fresh yellow paint is an invitation to beat the world record in crawl... Removing them - you make even more damage than the spider would have... On the other hand having a problem with insects - if you've got a problem with a neighbor - give them bright yellow paint and you'll get your revenge as well. Cheepskating a cyan yellow t-shirt is almost as effective. Astronomers and physicists are now believing - black wholes are indeed not black - you can measure them sending out radiation.... In the middle there's an infinite small point of infinite mass made out of bright yellow paint... It even attract and destroys entire galaxies... A quantum riddle is a bucket of yellow bright paint being opened somewhere in the universe... Aliens aren't that interested in humans. Whenever they end up somewhere on Earth - you can hear their captain saying - I SAID CALIBRATE to RULE OUT - BRIGHT YELLOW PAINT... Even insects know - you'll be attracted to it... Tornado Alley isn't global warming - it's farmers trying to save some money - "Oh what a nice find - gallons of unused bright yellow - more than adequate to paint the sides of the grain truck... " Releasing powers and events Stranger than at Wall Marts... You don't believe me... Open a bucket of yellow bright paint in the height of summer...

What kind of paint did ? For both the cab and bed?
