One Owner 1967 Chevrolet C10 Farm Truck! Abandoned for 16 Years! Will It Run?!?

[@aboversite]

C'mon, these trucks were junk when they were new. Fifty-five years has not improved them. That's what I don't get. Even if they were restored to like new condition, there is still no quality there.

That's just, like, your opinion man.

All, somebody's a chevy hater! They were junk when new? I would love to see proof of that statement! The 67 through 72 gm trucks were number one in sales and beat ford and dodge out in longevity for many many years!

[@craigbowley6783]

Yeah they're crap. That's why nobody wants them and they aren't worth any money and don't have a huge following. They also didn't last very long and weren't used by hundreds of thousands of people for a reliable work truck. Yeah no quality at all. And they sure haven't stood the test of time.

[@fixxerautomotive4917]

Little friendly advice, if you are trying to rock a rig against the trans to unlock said engine, it is better to put it in high gear and you will get more torque for the push at the crank. Low gear makes it easier for the engine to move the rear end, high gear makes it easier for the rear end to to move the engine. Tech tip of the day ;)

Wow, if I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't of believed that thing fired off for a couple of seconds it did! A dingle berry hone, a new set of replacement pistons and rings close to the same weight and put her back together. Top it off with a set of 305 Vortec heads, a genuine imitation RPM Airgap style intake, a 4bbl of your choice and cam it to your needs and you'll have a great little runner.

[@hottroddchevelle]

When you try to get the engine moving by rocking it in gear, try 4th gear. There's less resistance because it'll be turning the engine slower in a higher gear. I know this from push starting motorcycles. I really love these trucks, had a 69 with the 396 th400

[@MortskeRepair]

[@corvettejohn4507]

Tom, it was common in the 1970's and 1980's to put later model smog heads on 1960's engines to be able to run regular unleaded gas. The smog heads lowered the compression ratio and had induction hardened exhaust valve seats for no lead gas. Your heads being later than 1971 should use 5/8" tapered seat spark plugs and not the gasketed 13/16" plugs. If these do have 1.72" intake valves then these heads came off of a medium duty truck 350 (school bus, dump truck, C60 etc.).

[@joellekarma]

Mojocraft! Love it! The Henry J was Kaiser-Frasier's attempt to build and sell a small(er) inexpensive automobile when most Americans weren't interested in that. It was woefully underpowered with it's Willys flathead 4 and too spartan for post-WWII American taste. Sold from '51 - '54 although the '54's may have just been leftover '53's. They had a lot of surplus...

[@davida.p.9911]

Note to self: If you store a vehicle, especially outside, might wanna plug up the exhaust as well as the intake. Wow....I was surprised it ran for just the short time it did. I think the truck is worth keeping. The patina is cool, and it's still really solid. Those snow tires are worth keeping If you sell, they look like they're still good. Thanks for sharing Mort! It's like what I've always said, sometimes you have to prove things to people because they just don't get it. But most of the time I tell them "See that station, yeah, that's where you can get off at....I do it my way" Keep up the good work!

If I didn't mishear your inventory of available parts, it might be a good side project to build the truck for resale using some of the parts you listed.

Hello Mortske and Duff Dog

[@slikrick67]

This truck was a base model, that happen to get ordered with the side trim, the grille and bumper are white painted, no custom badge on the doors, vent windows are black instead of chrome. 67 is last year the passenger sun visor was an option. 16’s we’re optional but those are original because in 67 the steel wheels were painted body color to match truck. Also in 67 the white roof didn’t extend down the a pillars or top of the window frame of the doors. It’s a beautiful truck even with the whiskey dents it’s still super cool. A football/basketball inbetween panels can air up and pop out some of the dents without having to mess with the paint

This reminds me of a '67 C10 one of my high school teachers had. It had no rust but some dings and dents. Had a 6 cylinder with 4-speed. His son was a good friend of mine in my class. Unfortunately, you could crank her up without a key and some kids figured that out. It was stolen one night and found a few days later at a high school parking lot with no engine. I wish I'd had the foresight to buy that thing from him because as far as I know they hauled her off to salvage. That old truck would've been a real gem. Just slip a small block in it and go.

I had a piston separate at the wristpin om a factory rebuilt Pontiac 400. It happened on base at MCAS Beaufort, SC, the engine died at about 15-20 mph when I went to downshift for a stop sign. The engine probably had about 5000 miles and had not been raced nor revved too high. I started the engine up and noticed that it felt down on power, drove about 1/4 mile to a parking lot, checked the points (dual point distributor) then had a friend tow me out to his house to diagnose it further. Was bumping the engine over to recheck points and TDC when it suddenly 'clunked'. Tried the starter again and noticed that the fan turned but the rotor on the distributor didn't. I found the cam journal area had a gaping hole at about #5 piston area, a missing section of camshaft that was in the same region plus a hole in the block where the rod had sought daylight. This was all done just with the starter motor. I guess the lower skirt had fallen out of the bore as I was being towed which set me up for failure. Built a stealth 'full race' Chevy 350 to replace the Pontiac engine. It looked pretty much stock but had 12:5 to 1 Manley pistons, Big lift Crane Cam, etc, etc. Ran good enough to require a Muncie M22 because it ate 1st gear out of the M21. I still have the shattered piston top, held together with the rings & the section of the cam from the Pontiac 400 as 'souvenirs'.
