Can I Revive This 1973 Chevy DUMP TRUCK?!

Today I dive into a 1973 Chevy dump truck. This truck does NOT belong to us but we had permission from the owner to work on it!

I would love to sit down and ask Mook and Kevin how where and when they met, and is Mook ever serious. She had to have been raised with brothers. Love the fact that when Kevin doesn't know about something he just admits it and keeps moving forward with whatever is going on. No arrogance or posturing just a shoulder shrug" hmmm I don't know much about....." And he supports his gal pal and doesn't condescend. Great content always. Mook..., If you and Kevin have kids you would be an awesome mom and I'm sure those lil guys would be wrenching alongside both of you! It would be the best reality show ever!

Back when l was in grade school, l saw these trucks everywhere. They kept the same body style until around the early 90's, so parts were interchangeable. They had no electronics, so they weren't too difficult to work on, unlike the newer ones. I thought they were cool back in the day. I hope you get this one running. Good Luck!👍

theodore Dow-man - if that's true then you should have known better than to make that comment. Farm kids have to take on a lot more responsibility for their age than city kids. And they understand that if they get into a wreck with the farm truck, it means that not only will they have to pay damages which come out of the family's income, but also that the truck might be out of service for an extended time also hurting the family's income. Of course there are exceptions, but as a general rule farm kids are much safer drivers than the average person.

To put the PTO push the clutch in, put it into gear, engage the PTO, put it back into neutral and release the clutch which stops the transmission from spinning so you can engage it without grinding gears. Hydraulics were probably low, but a lot of beds do have an access panel to refill them with the bed down.

The "something here" that does something is a gear splitter for the 2 speed rear end. Things to investigare is the blatter in the brakes master. If that goes you will be driving a dangerous truck. Grease the king pins right away. If the king pins freeze up it will be quite a job to free them up.

[@cwp1alpha]

BIG old Chevy. Basis of farm trucks and school buses back in my youth. I remember that manual transmission set-up on my school bus, as the driver rolled through the gears on back gravel roads of the county. Rain, snow or shine, these heavy-duty platforms ran without stopping. Snow? Chains for them through. Never missed much school on these older rigs. The grain trucks like the one you're working on, ran through the fields quite well. These rigs would be valuable still, for hauling firewood and hay bales. No emissions, and the sky is the limit for the mods one can add-on. Torque monsters 💪 BTW: Gotta love older trucks where you can actually reach things under the hood AND sit up under there. 😂

Great video, I have the same truck as this one! Has a 350/4 speed/2 speed rear axle and was originally a 2 barrel but has since been changed to a 4 barrel iron manifold and Rochester quadrajet. My rams horn exhaust manifolds succumbed to the same fate as yours so were swapped for a cheap set of swap meet headers and some junkyard flowmaster mufflers. It's still a turd but it sounds good. Oddly enough it too was a revival, abandoned at a logging site the owner said anything I could drive away I could have so I got the Chevy, an international loadstar and a Ford 9N tractor.

[@KlockworXMusic]

Its a split shifter, its got a 2 speed rear end in it, that's what the little pull guy on the shifter is for. Basically that 4 speed that is in there is effectively an 8 speed for when you are loaded, although I think you can usually get away without using it almost entirely when the truck is empty other then maybe in 4th on the highway, popping it into the higher setting to bring RPMs down a little. I have had one before, it was fun.

In high school, I worked for a guy with a hay farm and a sawmill. (I know, what a combo.) The truck that hauled the logs out of the swamp and up to he mill was a '52 Ford F5 stake body.

Since the swamp and mill were all in his property, my buddy and I got to drive it around long before we got out license.

[@hughbarton5743]

Always fun! Kevin, that thing that the back wheels are connected IS a live axle, but so are all the rear wheel drive vehicles not equipped with some form of independent rear suspension....its just a drive axle with no "hinge" of some sort , so both wheels are always in the same relationship to each other. This particular kind is a "2 speed" , which, as you have seen, is an extra gearset inside the center section, activated by a solenoid of some sort. How do I know this?

OK, the thing about heavy duty truck transmissions. First gear is never used: *UNLESS* you are hauling a load. in this truck First gear is low, and low first is ultra low, which is why the old gal had a hell of a time moving. I bet you had her in ultra low.. Once you get her moving in first, instantly shift to 2nd. *Without a load* start in 2nd gear. The low gears were dependent on road conditions, and load weight.

I have the '69 GMC C5500 version. Same layout, shorter wheelbase. My PTO doesn't connect to anything anymore. I have the 305 V6, 5 speed, two speed rear end. Mine does 52 mph at 3500 rpm in 5th gear and high. It's glorious to drive. No one honks at me, flips me off or sneers in my general direction. My shifter is as sloppy as that one, so when you put it in "neutral" I was worried it might not be. . . Derrick from VGG Grandpa's truck is just like mine. My Grandpa had one like it when I was young. His was even red. His last dumptruck and tractor rig was a white square-body like the one in this video.
