Junkyard Rescue! Saving a 1950 GMC Truck - Roadkill Ep. 31

[@ronnieling133]

I first saw this episode while I was deployed. Over the years I have watched it a million times. David has me obsessed with the idea of building a stock 49 or 50 and charging up the old inline 6. Life keeps happening so no truck yet but one day I will own pigpen

[@jacobjadlowski5009]

I love David and finnegans ideas, they are crazy

[@pastor5629]

Hii how are you

[@flatpedalswinmedals7274]

​@@pastor5629oh not bad, yourself?

[@FACTBOT_5000]

Impressive claim, but I did the math. You would have had to watch this like 300 times a day, every day for the last nine years to have watched it a million times. The problem is, there is only enough time in one 24 hour period to watch a 24 minute video 60 times. You would have had to watch at 5x speed continuously for nine years to reach a million. For this reason, I am doubting your claim. 😝 Still, I hope you get the truck you want. Best of luck, bro.👍🏻

[@remraf72]

Watching in June of 2022. I have a 53 GMC with the inline 6 302. Original owner was my Granddad. It still runs.. The " Jimmy" is a 5 window. I love that truck. My Granddad used it specifically for elk hunting here in Arizona for a decade and a half, then gifted it to us. My older brother drove it for a while,when he was in high school here in the mid seventies, then I drove it in the late 70's. It has a special order from the factory 2 ton drive train, 4 speed with an incredibly low or first "granny gear". The ol' girl won't go over 60 mph because of the gear ratio. Its was painted in 1978 a specific Chevrolet/ GMC color " corvette orange flame". The grill, bumper and all badging was professionally chromed in 78'. Great video ! I'm extremely sentimental about this truck as the family history that surrounds it

[@shanesouthard9518]

I want to fix up a junkyard vehicle one day. No idea why, but I just love beater vehicles. Where others see rust and scrap, I see beauty and history...ehh, I don't really know why but who cares. Don't know exactly what specific vehicle I'd look for, but maybe a Peugeot 205 or a Ford Aerostar or something. But anyway, this is why I love this show, they go out to these junkyards and give vehicles which would probably otherwise never ever be roadworthy again and they give them new life. That and I'm a fan of human ingenuity, I love it when people improvise and get creative and do the kinds of things they do on this show. The dead coyote makes me sad and I have to look away every time the show starts, but though the death of such a beautiful being is indeed upsetting it's nature and in a way it's like the cars on the show, it too gets new life...not in the same way the cars, but in general something at least came of it. Kills me all the cool projects these guys do on worthless rustbuckets, and in a way it inspires me, it makes me want to do it myself one day. I don't think I would want my 205 or Aerostar all butchered up and whatnot like the Rotsun they did, I'd want to clean it up and make it nice and sporty, but still.

In the 1960s at Vacaville Drag Strip, there was a 1937 Chevy coupe with a Gimmy 302ci straight six and a dual-range Hydromantic by B&M that was a screamer.

[@PlatypusVomit]

You'd be surprised how far down the list 'is the exhaust plugged' is when you're troubleshooting an engine. In my case, it was a muffler that had filled with water and frozen on a diesel engine, but it wouldn't run at all, so that helped push the thought processes along and I figured it out in about 2 hours. When an engine doesn't run, the thought is 'do we have fuel, air, and spark?' (obviously not spark when it's a diesel like mine was, but in Pigpen it applies) and you naturally gravitate to the intake when making sure you are getting air.

[@Beany2007FTW]

Robertas Bukantis I don't mind Hot Rod Garage, TBH, given that it's basically them saying 'this is the show we had to make to stop our sponsors suing us for not actually advertising their wares in our normal content'. It's still fun and has interesting content, they just give their sponsors a few minutes a show, and Davids attempts to use the sponsors products have been...hilarious. Especially his rather surprised sounds when they seem to do what they claim to....which honestly, is better than having a spokesdroid do it. Some of Drives more recent stuff does feel neutered, especially the televised stuff I've seen. It feels like UK Top Gear. I watched drive because it *wasn't* like UK Top Gear. Sort of took the shine off for me.

Holy crud how could you not be fully 100% committed to a beautiful old truch like that that just started and ran for you like that

[@randyward9053]

I still love this episode and after watching Harry the wrecker I always see that bent exhaust

[@aidenroberts7598]

This iiiiiiiiii

[@gavincayan4284]

Why hasn't the gmc returned on roadkill yet?

[@CPD0123a]

Gavin Cayan I think they sold it to one of their crew members like a lot of their cars.

[@gavincayan4284]

I was hoping to see them convert this to four wheel drive or something, put a cummins in it now that there sponsored by dodge >:) that would of been cool

[@Brock_Landers]

I was literally JUST thinking the same thing.

[@MrJasonBrunk]

Gavin Cayan Its a GMC. Not a Dodge. If its GM, put an LS motor in it.

[@CPD0123a]

Jason Brunk Well, not entirely--according to what they were saying in the video, there's a whole bunch of period correct mod parts for the engine in it, so I would love to see it done up with said parts and have that straight six running good!

[@lukewilson986]

Funny thing is it wasn’t crank case pressure if you watch the newer episodes it had a kink in the exhaust system and that was exhaust flowing back through the engine

[@davidramirezoliver7569]

Ni

[@johnbehneman1546]

Thank you so much!!!! One of my favorite episodes!!!!! A Roadkill Classic!!!!! Thanks for sharing. You made my night.

[@nefariousstylo9943]

I feel like if the jimmy 6 was taken out of Pigpen a part of the auto world would die. The originality of this truck is part of its charm.

[@RegalCobra097]

FINALLY someone who thinks like me!

[@mentalasylum3969]

I love you guys Mike has me in tears on every show

[@PatDavis-qg5no]

I hate looking at these beautiful junkyards knowing I’m never going to be able to go there

[@mattmopar440]

plane ticket to fresno is cheap and they will let you walk around the yard every time im in fresno I always stop by turners

[@horstschulz2245]

Why not ??? I've managed it.. worked 2 years for tickets to fly to the USA, started from N.Y. to California in 3 weeks by car..

[@gregatron4528]

Junkyards near me basically strip the parts n smash the car .. Theyre mostly interested in metal recycling.

[@williswhatchutalkinbout4367]

It's a junkyard. Not space.... If you have this mentality now, you're in for a rough life....

[@mauriciosoares4316]

Don't think that way... If you really want and work hard I mean if you organize / plan your life you can achieve everything you want... for now just keep dreaming, that's a good start......

[@adx6662]

You guys are amazing and so entertaining! Love from down under🇦🇺

[@IvoPoblete]

I need more of this kind of Roadkill, please!! The last four episodes have veered away from this stuff, I think.

[@Connor-mx3ps]

i just dropped everything i was doing because i saw the roadkill video, for the next 24 minutes everything can fuck off!

[@DimseyyGaming]

A lil rude budy

[@masonmethot3186]

I love the GMC, but why didn't they take the red car in front of it? Looked good enough to fix.

[@mexibobor]

+mason methot Yeah, it looked sooo nice. But maybe thats the point, it would be too easy. Wonder what the name of the car is thought.

[@mexibobor]

zZViperBoostingZz yeah, its a valiant thabk you very much mate :)

[@masonmethot3186]

Maybe it was "To good for them" ;)

[@bill455w]

It may have had a 225 slant six in it. They were super reliable,my first car was a 1976 Plymouth Scamp 225 with a one barrel carb. Not very fast but I drove it for over ten years,sold it and the guy wrecked it .

[@abufasal6275]

[@fload46d]

Great, great job guys. The 52 ish GMC or Chevy trucks were the neatest looking ever. Learned a lot just watching this.

[@oddball0045]

Why isn't 3:57 a gif with sound yet?

[@jbbairoletto1509]

+oddball0045 It will be amazing..

[@dramprar]

What I find amazing is how they are so close and in person with the exhaust system, but never saw the kink.

[@stormer1092]

Love it. Royal Purple into an engine that they don't even know runs. Lol

[@TheTurbo325i]

Haha I noticed that too. I would've used used some non-synthetic and changed the oil twice on that thing

[@TheTurbo325i]

Mike Finnegan Ah gotcha, great episode guys! It's good to see pigpen saved.

[@davidb5814]

Mike Finnegan Got to use oil made for a diesel engine in those old, flat tappet engines. Oil for modern cars doesn't have enough phosphorus and zinc in it (screws up catalytic converters). Been using straight 30 weight All Fleet Plus Valvoline in my '46 with a '54 235 for over 60,000 miles w/o issue.

[@radiofans]

David B they didn't have time for that , Finnegan had to get home for his wife's hair appointment, lol

[@oyiboboy5778]

David B you need to study some chemistry, there is neither phosphorus or zinc in diesel oil. now Zinc di-akyl di- thio-phosphates, different

[@themackguyverchannel7713]

Mid twenty century technology is the pinnacle of manufacturing perfection. Never breaks down and won’t wear out ………. Sometimes.

[@HBOMB-ht5pm]

Favorite episode. By far. Then there's the rat rod bell air episodes

[@OverdriveTV]

How can people dislike this show? :D

[@ventureswithjoe1776]

@19:37 you can see the exhaust has a big crease in it

[@ryansadiujungbumi5405]

just like paradise in my eyes

[@lukedingley7426]

Favorite show on you tube

[@beewald3107]

11:05 "IT'S NOT EVEN SMOKING"......i wonder why....

[@karlvanwuijkhuijse442]

Benjamin Ewald หัตถชัย แซ่เหล่า

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

I got to sit in one of these today and absolutely fell in love. I've started trying to find one.

[@XiamaraLaurensWifeyMu]

if still needed, try classic truck rescue. they are on youtube too.

[@andygolden1609]

I was impressed from the moment it fired up the first time, anything after that was just icing on the cake!

[@Arthurzeiro]

5 years later and I'm still pissed they didn't give the Vega Cosworth a try, the most underrated american compact.

[@Caraholic.v8]

i wish we can see it in another episode...

[@jamesalcorn8090]

Ahmad Mohanna me too, I think they should put another motor in it

[@jaydenbeverly1689]

Ahmad Mohanna we will...

[@briankillen9339]

Jayden hi

[@RockstarGamingRG]
