1983 Chevrolet Silverado Loaded with Options! Abandoned for 13 Years! Squarbody Will It Run?!?

I picked up this 1983 Chevrolet C10 longbed pickup as part of an online auction this winter. Based on 4 pictures I knew there was a lot of potential with this Silverado. As much as I want to use this pickup as a donor for other vehicles in our fleet or ding it up as a cool daily driver it has been SOLD!!! As always, thanks for watching!

Welcome back Mr Mortske and Duff from Alabama

[@dueljet]

I had commented on the Instagram post but guess I'll comment here too. I have two cars that have been Rusty Jonesed. One is an 82, one is an 85 both our GM A bodies and as such love to rot out. The product worked pretty well. My 82 has not really been used in our salty Wisconsin winters, but my 85 went through 15 winters before I stopped driving it in the snow. The rockers, fenders and quarter panels are original and are still hole free! The product was nothing more than a cavity wax. I don't like the plastic plugs covering the holes that were drilled all over in the brand new car body. I guess that there were few options for getting the good stuff in there. Additionally, they sprayed the amber cavity wax all over under the hood and sprayed a lovely thick rubberized undercoating crap on the floor pan. The dealership I worked at in the '90s had all of the leftover application equipment still. In fact, most of the garbage cans that we used were old Rusty Jones wax drums. I still have the original Rusty Jones owner card for one of my vehicles. It was like a credit card with the vehicle identification number and owner name on it. You had to present that every year for its annual inspection and touch-up in order to maintain the lifetime warranty against rust. I have all the original paperwork as well. Great video!

[@bmacd2112]

I agree with you. That is way too nice a truck to sell or part out. A new ignition tumbler, a piece of pipe to replace the missing cat. converter and a little rust repair, would be well worth the time and money. For a 40 year old truck, she's in great condition!

Best way to clean the steering wheel, throw it in the bush. No amount of cleaning will fix it because it's not a problem of it being dirty.The plastic is breaking down and leeching chemicals. Ask me how I know!

13:47 Rusty Jones is in the same genre as Ziebart. "Hello Rusty Jones, goodbye rusty cars!" They went bankrupt in the late 80s, but there's still Ziebart in some places. Line-X shops do undercoatings as well, and probably the most hyped brand name nowadays would be Fluid Film. Or I suppose Rust-Eze in the Cars Cinematic Universe if you're into that sort of thing. edit...and the Mortske Minute in Studio D basically covered that!!!

I do miss the plentiful square bodies 15-25 years ago. Had an opportunity to buy a REAL nice one back in Texas in '95. Was a navy blue '87 Silverado, regular cab, 2 wheel drive, long bed, TBI 350, 700R4 automatic overdrive, manual windows and locks but did have tilt and cruise, digital AM-FM stereo with cassette. Extra clean and like 80K on the clock. Chevy dealer wanted $5995 for it. I ended up getting an '87 Turbo 4-cylinder New Yorker instead for like $3700 from the Honda dealer instead. Definitely should've bought the truck.

D-Germ from Menards. It got the Icky Sticky off my 84 steering wheel.

I'm from Northern Illinois. When I was a kid in the 80s my aunt had a Pontiac Grand Prix that had been treated by Rusty Jones. The car was a rust bucket so I don't think it worked very well.

Quadrajets have to be one of the best carbs for revivals. They seem to always run.

[@MortskeRepair]

Agreed

[@danwilson7776]

I remember rusty jones, my family had a small dealership in New England years ago and I remember my grandpa loved that ole rusty jones

[@MortskeRepair]

Cool!

Not too awful long ago, on one of those Saturday TV car shows I remember seeing something like Rusty Jones stuff being squirt under a car. I don't remember what they called it.

Yeah I'd like to see you replace the rusted body panels put a few bucks in it and keep this one. It's one of you're more reliable revivals

[@MortskeRepair]

No more rust repair for us

[@bennyhelgeson401]

Beat me to the punch Mortske. I remember Rusty Jones more for the paint protection more than rust prevention. Besides Rusty Jones there were other brands that I don't remember but i do know my neighbor had paint treatment in early eighties and I think simonize was part of name.

"Hello Rusty Jones, Good bye Rusty Cars".. I can totally remember the commercials from when I was young.

[@kraigcochran9995]

Yeah I had a 78 Chevy nova with a 305 and it had a two barrel carburetor from the factory.

[@MortskeRepair]

Good to know!

[@SudosFTW]

how to get the stickiness off the steering wheels: same way you get goopy rubberized coating off stuff. use Everclear. it's alcohol abuse for sure, but it's good stuff.

[@MortskeRepair]

Hahaha

[@lukeupton9597]

When that tire blew he thought he was back in Pot County Oklahoma 😅 I’d probably buy that rig if you’d drop it off in Tulsa on your way to colab with ole Puddin!

Would be interested in the doors. Trying to put one together for my daughter.

I remember that rusty Jones, they had a zbart company that did the same thing. Not sure if they are around anymore either.
