FORGOTTEN Chevrolet 4x4 Square Body - will It RUN AND DRIVE 60 miles home?

(what a struggle this one was!!) A guy needed a reliable, sturdy pickup for the property, so I bought this chevy truck that's been off the road for 12 years. v8, 4 speed sm465, and a np208 transfer case, what a beast! I'm going to attempt to get it running and drive it home 60 miles!

Then near Valley City the gentle rolling hills begin. You can practically see forever out there. One special thing is to be able to see an entire storm system in the distance.

With electric at the point it is now is not practical as a replacement for fossil fuel vehicles. Electric is very efficient for mass transit with an external power source, but batteries present a major challenge and the electric grid is already at capacity and can’t handle the demand total electric would create and much of the electric is created with fossil canceling out the supposed benefits of electric along with the new environmental hazards the batteries present.

Spent just over a year travelling the roads of America, mostly old gravel backroads . Spent Fourth of July in Stanley North Dakota actually, really great friendly people. We had read in England about the Whirla Whip Ice cream there, so drove over for one, honest !. Had one of the best times of our lives. The Rockies, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Mesa Arizona. Almost full length Highway 101 , many side trips as folks invited us to join them. San Francisco, Yuma, . Two months with the snowbirds, day trips just into Mexico as guests of the snowbirds who looked after us so well. Xmas on Ocatillo Flats, I think it was. Houston Space Centre. Slowly across towards the East, but our Visas were running out so we headed North along the Natchez trace, innocents !. Got caught in some kind of a storm near Nashville, everyone else pulled of the camping ground about 2 am, no one old us !. It was rough and scary for a while there, now part of our adventure. Eventually back into Canada and the flight home. Rich folks ?, no way, farm workers kids and just many ordinary jobs until we retired. Camped free most of the time, or cheap, others showed us where and how. So many people, so many places, so many great memories, so much kindness. Those roads are there, just take them, doesn't have to be a million dollar travelling castle. We paid 6000 dollars for the Winnebago, a few thousand as we went along fixing things that broke, sold it in Canada for 3,000. Biggest expense, not having any income at all. Spent a good slice of our life savings, best money ever spent we still think. Go for it, drive the roads, see more of your fantastic country, meet the people.

Square body Chevy’s will always make it home! In essence they will last forever, with a little elbow grease.🏴🏴‍☠️🏴

@@jeffwhite6343 The drive back would have been hella boring if he had fixed the plug wires and the fuel situation from the get-go. Was more fun this way. I used to have an '88 Mustang that would randomly quit on me, usually when slowing down for the next town. Was really too much drama for me.

That is a genuine going to town rig! Are you sure it's not too nice, frame's not even touching the ground.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Don't know why all the thumbs down, considerings, most folks would've called a town truck by now, but, derak pull out all the tricks to get himself home. That alone deserves a thumbs up as far as I'm concerned.

[@jessemidgett1648]

One way or another, you got it home. Its special that it was your grandad's work truck. I can't help but think that hole is a shift on the go hole, without the "f".

Best thing about this, brother got ya back. And he talked!🤔

[@egdg120575]

After watching 72.6% of your videos, a gal thinks she could get a golden oldie( looking for a 72 Chevy pick up with 3 on the tree) to start. I LOVE your videos.

[@darrelfuhrman8217]

So you grew up in Stanley. My wife goes to Williston for a special eye doctor. Dad was born at Heaton, west of Carrington. Dad uncle had a huge barn on the south side of the highway, where you could originally drive a team & hay wagon into the second floor, turn it around, unload it, do it all over again. I do not remember his first name, last name was Miller. Grandma brother built the barn into the side hill. Hello from north east Montana. 10 miles from the Canadian border. 115 miles from the North Dakota border.

Wow! A buddy in St. Paul just pointed me at this video, saying I'd better recognize some scenery. You literally passed my somewhat smaller honey spot of Squares by a mile. I even saw my mailbox when you passed the tipped bin. That gas station is brand new, and the closest to my place. Next closest is where all those beige buildings are and I get gas there, too. And I now know EXACTLY where the bigger Honey Spot is! :D

Krang makes very deep comments sometimes. "There's no way to know!" - LOL

Really enjoyed the scenery in this one. Beautiful country roads.

Derek thanks for the ride through the countryside! Ya know a guy who just had a triple bypass a few months ago needs a good laugh. You made my day. Thanks…..

My first car was a Parisienne! 1986, she was blue and rust. Mom gave it to me. She was a good ride

[@ldb5236]

This has been one of my favorites so far thank you Derrick and your family happy Independence Day weekend! Merica !

[@ViceGripGarage]

You are so welcome

[@dansherrell6803]

Ditto.

[@danielladd3391]

Watching this makes me feel so thankful that I have a similar relationship with my brother. I'm glad you two were able to get it home.

[@randallsmerna384]

I had a brother once - But never a relationship like this...

WOW ! Look at all the treasures !!!

Some beautiful country out there!!

[@mareklibelt3182]

That’s the kind of VGG episode I love to watch! Laughed out loud so many times . Best content on KZbin Thanks Derek !!!

[@steveengland8505]

Yeah if you don't relate to some of his struggles you never had to make do with what you had

[@devonyoder4838]

There’s this hidden area right past the ketchup on the RPM that’s called “chasing cattle” 🤣👌 ...also known as valve float

[@SlamboKassel]

With this youtube video, I saw you for the first time in an O‘Reilly Auto Parts commercial. It was also the first ad on youtube that I actually enjoyed enough to watch all the way to the end! Great job!

Got to love this guy's revivals
