I'm still amazed whenever I see places like this. The ability for one person or family to fill a farm up with cars over the decades. Nowadays it takes everything to afford one or two vehicles per household. It's part of the reason I love videos like this though. The old cars were just cool and easy to work on.

I was doing the exact same thing you used it on and some of wires on mine came off and hit me in the face, and somehow went around my goggles and into my right eye ball and I got taken to the Hospital where, thank God, a Doctor knew how to do what I needed done and got the wire out of my eye ball. I spent the next 4 weeks with a patch over my eye and med cream put in it. Changed every 4 hours. And of course it was during the hottest days of Summer in Michigan and I couldn't go swimming or get my wet.

What a battle!! What a colossal, epic, friggen battle!! And yet, a stunning victory once the C1ohhh made it to that beautiful farm scenery. Loved the hilarious comedy, the informational tech, the scenes of endless fixes/repairs that come with taking a vehicle that sat not running for the exact same time I've been alive, Bob and Ezra's comedy and assistance, and just the hilarious B double E double R U N's. This was familiar with being along the lines of the Plymouth Satellite but with a way different vehicle and far greater set of circumstances (like 9 long days and removing one blowed up engine and installing another). Bravo for your efforts, gentlemen. Absolutely frigging outstanding!!!!

Damn Kevin, in 2001 I bought a 1979 Chevy 1/2 ton, used-to-be 350 Diesel truck, with a 455 out of a Buick GS Stage 1 (at least that's what the guy I bought it off said. I was just buying a shop/yard/acreage/ to town and back truck , so I didn't really care where the motor came from as long as it ran, shifted gears, and (surprise !) stopped. The reason for this little ditty though, isn't that the truck ran and stopped, it was the fact that it was IDENTICAL to your Minnesota truck in color, except I was in Rocky Mountain House (Rotten Monkey House if you've ever been there), Alberta, a little west and south of Edmonton. Mine however did not have a solid box or nifty, 1 mouse hole interior, and it didn't have headliner at all. The seats were old buckets out of some forgotten Chevy van and covered with "Navaho blanket" seat covers that had seen better decades, and it had a "chollo chain metal " steering wheel, and an old milk crate from the local dairy for a center console. I paid $950 for it and an old 8-wheel Argo that didn't run (I got the Argo working, put 2 new tires on it and sold it for $2500 to my across the field neighbor.) That truck ran for 4 more years that I had it, and then for 9 more years (with a newer tranny) when I sold traded it for a 1993 Honda Goldwing and an old 22./410 over under prairie chicken gun.....so I'm thinking you're gonna have decent luck, 'cause them old GM big blocks and Chevy Square bodies work forever ( as long as you have WD-40, brake clean, jumper cables or a battery box, Gorilla duct tape and a cheap set of sockets, wrenches, screw drivers, and a pair of vice grips ,all from Canadian Tire)...Good luck, stay safe, don't have too much fun, and whatever you do, don't let Angus hold the lightening wire to the distributor, don't let Bob play with the radiator, and don't let Ezra, ever, say goodbye on a phone call ( he'll be goin' on 10 minutes after the end of the next Zombie apocalypse, and BTW, he sounds like he's from Thunder Bay, Ontario, or southern Manitoba)...Peace out, from Doc, in the Great White (now kinda green, brown, and yellow, and heading into fall) North of southern Ontario, Canada.🦫🦫🍁🍁🍁

In high school, a few friends and I bought a '65 Pontiac Ambulance from a junkyard for $200. It was in great shape, except for the Pontiac 421 that was in many pieces. We took the motor into the machine shop and the cost to get it machined was crazy expensive because it was a special service engine (police, taxi, etc.). So we found a '69 Olds 88 455, running, for sale in the PennySaver for $150!! When we showed up, it indeed ran great, until it warmed up on the drive home. The rings were shot and it pumped an ungodly amount of exhaust, straight into the car. Funny how there were 2 cardboard tubes and safety goggles in the back seat. The only four things in the whole car! Curious! But they came in handy. After a smokey drive home, and a few major burnouts at the local cruise spot, we crashed it into a wall in the high school senior parking lot, where the battery grounded out on the hood and fried the electrical system. We walked home to get one of the guy's father's pickup that had a cherry picker mounted on the back corner of the dump bed. Drove back to school and pulled the engine at 3am and took it back to the ambulance to drop it in. Unlike your pickup, the Olds 455 did not just drop into the '65 ambulance engine bay, nothing a few 2x4 blocks to sit on and few short lengths of chain to hold it down, couldn't fix. The last little issue was the '64 Pontiac throttle was a push and the Olds 455 was a pull. After a creative throttle cable installation, using what can only be described as a pulley system, we drove it to the muffler shop for a pro exhaust, to funnel the smoke out the back as opposed to into the car, we were ready to roll. After a few local parades and few rides to proms, winter formals, homecomings and Sadie Hawkins dances, someone got mad at me at a backyard party and the mad guy and his buddies tried to hunt me down, but only found the ambulance, at which point they broke all the windows out of it. Those were huge custom windows that we never were going to be able to afford to replace. So, in a panic, we called around to find someone that would take the car as junk, we ended up calling the guy we bought it from, not knowing it was the guy we bought it from, and after him getting over the fact that we actually had gotten it running and driving, he offered paying us the same $200 we paid him. Everyone else want us to pay them, to take it away. Miss that old car. Did I mention that the backlit sign, above the front windshield, under the old school roller emergency light said "Chainsaw Surgery"? Good times!!!

If you're worried the numbers don't match...just remove the trucks ID metal plate vin code and save it in an envelope. Old Trucks can be registered insured and inspected legally with an old title.

My uncle had a square body called "Old Blue." Sat for like 20 years and it took only like 2 hours to get it running again when my dad needed a ride cause his fox body was in the shop from a wire fire. Of course, you were always going 40, even when parked. lol

Killer video honestly, that’s a pretty nice square body. I had a 78 gmc with a Oldsmobile 400 in it, and honestly it ran really good like most of the Oldsmobile’s I’ve had. I’d definitely fix that Chevy up, it’d make a nice truck.

1986, square Chev, 3 wheelers... I lived that as a kid. Still plenty of good rust free square Chevs and Fords in small Central valley farm towns. Great video fellas. You're right; save it, build it, drive it! Rescued a 58 Ford from the crusher, rust free, $200, had it running in a week. All the best from Nor Cal. Give a shout if you're ever out this way.
