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

Late last fall I picked up this 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup from the family of the original owner in northwestern North Dakota. They had placed it in a fence row in 2007 after 40 years of service on the ranch. Let's see if we can get the old small block to come back to life after a long slumber! If you're interested in purchasing this pickup it is in the as shown condition at the end of the video with the engine removed. This pickup has been SOLD! As always, thanks for watching!

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.

[@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 ;)

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

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.

Sad to see a low mile engine killed by just being parked in a field. At least the engine can be saved, and the body is worth saving also. Great episode.

[@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.).

[@tcanthony2]

That’s a solid truck to dump an engine in and enjoy. No worrying about beating it up and do a little here and there for someone. And the bright side is you didn’t have to do brakes, again.

[@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!

I agree with you. When I was pulling cars out I was lucky to have about half of the engines being any good. But yet on utube the engine is seldom bad .

[@waynedavis7245]

@@MortskeRepair absolutely true 👍. Have you ever tried putting gear oil into the cylinders of engine with low compression? I had a old timer show me that trick when I was 16 . You just put a little bit in the cylinder careful not to use to much. It helps to get the compression up to get it to fire up. You probably already know this trick .

[@mattlevault5140]

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...

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. In running condition, it would be worth considerably more than your asking price as it sits.
