Squarebody revival after parked for 19 years. will it run and drive?

[@paulweigle6872]

GM quadra jet carbs are tough and easy to tune, as long as the throttle shaft bore isn't egged out. The square body Chevy is a beast of a work horse. Easy to modify to suit your needs. Good to see you working on more than just Ford's. Keep up the great content.

[@misfittoys8883]

I dont know what Aaron plans on doing with the quadrajet but throwing it out was not an option for him!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!!!! 👍👍

[@kennethsonier1766]

The square body looks to be in fairly good condition, the engine sounds all right also. Looking forward to seeing future repairs. Keep up the good work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@misfittoys8883]

Pretty decent truck for free!

GM. Hei. Came. Out on late. 1974. :callilacs

Needs ign 12 volts to run off HEI

[@randyriggs5463]

I would like to see more on this truck. Get it running good,and give it a bath! I see potential!

[@georgevan3102]

Me too

[@joshjablonicky171]

Oh hell yeah this is going to be a good one. They all are don't get me wrong. One thing that I really liked about your channel is a variety of things you working on it's not like a lot of other KZbinrs who been stuck in the Rut the only doing will it run videos it gets old like to see you work on your own rigs in your own stuff and then some other stuff here and there. As always thank you for the hard work you put into the channel for us it is greatly appreciated.

[@misfittoys8883]

Revivals are fine but arguably pointless if you dont do something with the vehicle after getting it going again in my opinion

[@meangreen7322]

Good job getting the old square body going👍looking forward to more videos on your adventures

[@misfittoys8883]

I look forward to putting them out for you.

[@craigbowley6783]

I hate that I started showing my dad these videos, now I gotta wait till he gets home to watch it. I'll pre like it though.

[@misfittoys8883]

Enjoy all the time you can with your Dad. I miss mine

[@Shadetreehack57]

@Misfit Toys it's hard to do that with work and stuff, but it's always nice watching videos. He's a fan of you and even my mom likes ya. Definitely gonna have to show them more of you. Especially the Ford you did one of my favorite videos.

One thing about working on those old trucks is if you don't have a bad back you will after reaching over into that dog house lol

[@Oldfarmersgarage]

I have owned three squarebodys in the four years that I have been driving and two of those were full time four wheel drives. I have never had a problem with it before. Not sure why they get a bad wrap but I’ve taken them through some rough terrain and pulled with them and Even went 105 in one of the trucks. But I still wish I could do a burn out or do doughnuts. Got a neat truck there. Hope she serves you well.

[@misfittoys8883]

Full time 4x4 put unneccesary wear on components and eat more fuel. The 203 is a beefy unit, but I have witnessed some of them slipping chains when used hard.

[@Oldfarmersgarage]

@@misfittoys8883 yes they definitely eat fuel. Lol. And I am going to get a 205 at some point.

Ditching the 203 t case for a good ol 205

[@cdb1949]

I have had 3 np203 that I just took the none lockout hubs out and replaced with lockout hubs. Been working for years that way. Driveshaft does not spin in 2wd. Luckily you had a great np205. Mine drives great down the road and with the lockouts it does not wear the front out. Just wanted to tell you all.

[@speedybuggy1677]

Runs pretty good sound good fix it up and drive it use it for work truck are driving down and back it's got potential

[@jasonpetrich4141]

And that is vacume advance it goes down to the trans if you don't hook it up, it will only have 1st gear. Ditch the Quadra puke put an edelbrock. Save time. Base settings runs perfectly. Glad you saved it she's nice

[@twinkie27271]

Vacuum advance has nothing to do with the transmission. Vacuum advance is in the distributor. That is the vacuum modulator valve, and yes, it has to be hooked up, but not necessarily through thermo vacuum switch.

[@twinkie27271]

Quadrajet is a very dependable carburetor. They mostly just have issues with the bowl plugs leaking. Easily repaired with a little epoxy.

I thought Ford mechanics had the largest assortment of special adjustment tools in the industry. More hammers than a metal working body man! Just joking, I’ve got em all, Fords GM Mopar and off shore. Over 50 total. Mine are all up here in Alaska I’ve got about half of them running, but at age 73 I’m running out of birthdays to get ‘em finished. Oldest is a 1936 front wheel drive Cord Westchester. Take care and I just subscribed.

[@nwolf7117]

Chevrolet's High Energy Ignition (HEI) from the Delco-Remy Division of General Motors was first offered in 1974 on production cars, though in very limited numbers. In 1975, HEI became standard on all GM vehicles.Mar 5, 2019

[@twinkie27271]

HEI was standard long before 2019. Not sure where you got that info. I'd say, probably 1979.

[@engineprojects]

I wish there was footage of them getting it out of the forest seeing how it stood there it always starts whit the car on the trailer thats the only thing what i missed but nice vid getting it going again👍👍

[@misfittoys8883]

We definitely should have. Almost everything went wrong! Only goid thing that happened was that not a single brake was stuck!!

[@user-427.commodore]

Man what a truck, an i will never own one lol 25 k + in Australia for a descent one

I fail to see why they have went crazy in value here. It's not like the supply of them has dwindled. They are all over the countryside here.

If they'll crank, they'll usually run. Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or Edsel.

Not shure why you are getting an anti-GM vibe? I am definitely a Ford enthusiast but I outgrew the attitude of having to hate on GMs a long time ago. There actually is a late 60's Chevy wagon on my marketplace watchlist at the moment. I just cant logically justify it at the moment.
