1982 Chevy K20 Walk Around - Grandpa's Workhorse

[@jacksummitt4304]

I remember driving down 131 hwy in that truck telling uncle John I had just inlisted to the Army, and would he and Aunt Sue help me tell my dad What a flashback. Thank you I had long forgotten about that moment in time. Wow!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

That's great!

[@rogerstern2542]

Moments are good. Happens often over stuff I never thought would mean anything

[@pcbullets8726]

Old trucks like that are the best, def would like to see more of this one.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Just rough and tough old things. How a truck ought to be

[@kennethsonier1766]

That's a great truck and a great story about your grandpa, show that truck more love I would like to see how it turns out 👍☮️

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Just got done working it to death as a matter of fact. Just like grandpa would've

[@brianramsey4097]

The reason why I Love watching your channel is the fact that you keep your family. Vehicles runnand use them for what they were intended to be used for. And you're raising your son to do the same. True family values keep up the great work.

[@keithwallick7440]

I had an 80 with a 305 and a 1983 with a 350. Both were short beds. I know that's Grandpa's truck and it's just the work truck to you but even with the rust everything looks pretty straight and intact on it. Bumpers, Grill, body molding. Kudos to you for keeping Grandpa's truck.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

It is now, it sure as hell wasn't before I got it lol

[@maybenot9449]

Nice truck man Can't beat old Chevy truck

[@1991ADIS]

The only thing i hate about living in the Midwest is the salt in the winter. Eats metal alive like no ones business. Glad you've maintained the truck though, your grandad would be happy seeing it still going strong. Also now I fully understand why you ask us to tell you what we would like to see worked on lol. You got a ton of projects ready and dont know where to begin, those are tough decisions.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

It'll all get done, just a matter of the order lol

[@seangill7985]

That's a cool truck with a great story! You just can't beat a squarebody as a workhorse, they just keep working and working and working.....and working. Always been a fan of squarebody trucks with "Grampa add-ons" too. Definitely a good candidate for routine maintenance videos! Do yourself a favor and put new striker bushings on it (a piece of pex works in a pinch)...looks like they were missing in the video. The doors will close like new again!

[@docfischer7291]

My. First time behind the wheel driving around the family farm cornfields was a ‘79 suburban with a 454 that was my grandfather’s as well. I miss that hull . Same wheel covers. Loved that look , especially with the little beefier tires he had . Nice truck. Cherish it .

[@ScottsafriendofGod]

I've always loved these square bodies... this one seems exceptional. Maybe cuz it was your grandpa's... the older I get the more I appreciate passing things to family - sad to say it seems like a lot of kids / grandkids don't give a rip about what was passed on to them... unless they can sell it. Keep your old square body Maybe your son will drive it when he's your age... or older

[@gmjunky87]

Love that truck. Would like to see more of it on the channel! I've been a squarebody junkie all my life haha

Thats a sweet square body. Dig the 454 too. I have a 79 stepside myself, with old late 60s vette motor, lil cam etc.. Always been a fan. Would definitely enjoy more content.

I own my grandfathers truck now also. Mine is a 79 f250. His work trucks were 350 duallys with stale beds. I wish I hung onto one of those, but I still have “DUTCH”!

[@mikerotch124]

Nice truck my guy. You do with it what I would. Use it daily. I had a long box one awhile ago. Wish I never got rid of it. It was red with whitewall tires. Trying to find a short box now.

I like the look of a short bed, but you just can't beat an 8 foot bed that never has to be made

Nice truck I would watch u fix it up. Love that u put a BBC in it. Mine has a buick 455 👍👍🙏🙏

[@the_truck_farmer]

I looked back in your vids for an intro to this old reliable workhorse. I had seen it in the background pulling the trailer for many other video adventures. Love the old trustworthy rigs! Good old pickups are getting harder to find and pricey here in salty WI so i hunt for cheap gmt400s and gmt800s. I love em all though. I dream to have an "old reliable" 67-72 Chev or 78-79 Ford pickup. But im sure i wouldnt want to dent it up after i actually found one...

Wasn't the 6.5 better.i hear mixed reviews on those two engines.

[@69judgeshack75]

@@buckster2575 Yes, the 6.5 was better from the standpoint it was Turbocharged so was more responsive. Believe it or not but they still make the 6.5's down in Ohio for Military applications only since there are still tons of military vehicles in use with the motor. I work for Bosch and we supply the pintle Injectors for that application as well as the older 6.2

[@lifequest7453]

I know "Grandpas TRUCK" is an old video from about 2 years ago. But since I have just come out of a long sort of restore of my own 1986 K10 Custom Deluxe, and I know the work I had to do to clean it up, It would be great if you maybe worked on those truck box fenders over the wheel wells. Mine were ok, (so far) but my problem was the rear corner of the rear wheel fenders well. That nice shaped (curved) metal was, well interesting to bring back to a non hole look again. One thing I ran into was those stiffeners for that fender (behind the rear wheel). Darn things are built right up against the panel and mine had rusted apart so the fender flapped in the wind. That was an interesting fix as well. Now that I have suffered the experience, I can tell you where to look for the rust attacks, some places you would never think. and I can suggest what I am using to stop the rust (it is pretty common to find and may surprise you). That may be just a truck to you, but it will always be "Grandpas Truck", so it's worth a vid or two. And you are right, that is a nice looking truck.

[@raymonddawson6423]
