I’m glad to see more people working on older vehicles getting them running. You won’t see stuff like this 20 or 30 years from now because these cars nowadays are disposable.

1983 was the last year for the windshield wiper switch on the dash & the high beam low beam switch down on the floorboard which was a small button lookin thing you pressed down with your foot. In the middle of the 1984 model year was the last year for chrome windshield wiper arms & blades.

Very cool project you are working on. Hopefully you can get your Dad’s reaction on camera 🎥 somehow. I felt like I was watching a KZbin video of Watch Wes Work. Oh wait I was 😁. Looking forward to the next episode

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I liked this video!

[@stevebiddle8912]

Well done! I’m certainly looking forward to you. Getting this thing back on the road. Your dad is going to be delighted.

[@jaynosser9289]

Super pumped for this project. Love seeing old trucks come back to life.

[@rongrose3746]

Pretty cool project

[@gail8494]

Wow Wes, this is great! Really looking forward to next part.

[@everardoescalera4588]

Omg it's a good truck 🚚

[@danlowery3235]

I am liking this project! Thanks Wes!!!!!

[@charlesvaughn9055]

Good job getting your Dad's truck running, I honestly didn't think it would run. 😁 God Bless

[@tbone8560]

Good job had me jumping up @ down 👍👍

[@trwaintime]

Once Mickey and Minnie are "launched" out the exhaust path...the "lungs" will be in much better shape...as you know! Congrats! Get you some Lucas gas treatment...change the oil/filter...get some tires...check your brakes...new set of freeze plugs...then good 2 go!

[@moonlustmoonlust2935]

Looking forward to the next episode

I'm so happy too 😂 northern Michigan farm boy myself square body first truck 1987 custom deluxe

[@adamantvermont]

nice. looking fwd to it driving!

[@jameslcoble248]

Great video. Good to see that you're doing alright. Truck sounds good. I would definitely change the fuel pump and the sending units on the tanks. Definitely check the fuel lines for leaks. Same for the brakes. Have a great week.

[@bobtucker8875]

Great content, good luck 🤞. Your dad will be happy I'm sure.

[@hfff1]

That was fun!

[@kdsboosted4954]

Cool project! I'm just finishing my 81 Scottsdale K20 I pulled from a field 6-7 years ago. Now it's a turbocharged beast.

[@WesFarms]

Sweet!

[@jclo6387]

Good job!

[@lloydrobinson7081]

cool, good luck

[@RattleTrapGarage]

Nice truck

[@tbone8560]

Don't forget no Coolant

[@puddleduckist]

Yes it's an hei and the coil is in the cap. They are reliable and can sit 4 yrs and still spark. I'd check the oil and see if there's water in it and pull the valve covers and check the valve train, take a look at the plugs as well. Gm has the solenoid on the starter, Ford has it on the fenderwell, although a ford style solenoid can be used. Good luck with it, hope it makes ur pops happy!!! Runs pretty good for sittin so long. 👌

[@karljacobson1575]

Good to see a video. Did you guys get that Pete fixed that was wrecked??

[@tobykuhns3795]

Thank u

[@douggrove762]

Put some baking soda and water on an old tooth brush. To clean the contacts.

[@jeffsimons8893]

That sounded pretty good for sitting all them years on the start up and run

[@samrugtiv3839]

Yes it is

[@craiggrant3511]

If you need any parts Potts junk yard west of Morocco used to have alot of square body chevy trucks in there

[@darylmiller9385]

Love the video Westin! Nothing better than an old square body. What kind of tool box is it that you have in the back over your truck?

[@WesFarms]

The one in my truck is a Powerbuilt 26” triangle box. Got it on Amazon.

[@samrugtiv3839]

Good job sod buster

[@brucewynn5042]

Your coil is In the cap

[@markamcampbell5795]

check the oil and coolant.

[@markamcampbell5795]

did you plug in all the wires to the dist?

[@samrugtiv3839]

Check the fuel pump pressure sb

[@stepark3437]

Great. You need some new vicegrips

[@zilla2006able]

is your new shop complete?? and see you have a lot of junk behind you are planning clean it up back there??? or not???

[@teddyyoung1556]

Sounds like the ignition switch is killing the juice soon as you let off

[@tobykuhns3795]

It will backfire or run bad the 2 plug wires need turned around

[@MidwestToolReview]

Look behind the seats in trucks to see what may have caused it to be sitting...

[@WesFarms]

It was a blown out freeze plug

[@samrugtiv3839]

Is there any fuel in the tank sod buster

[@WesFarms]

Yes

[@jaysonburns8512]

Just unhook the furl line let the pump run all the old fuel out...then put a new fuel filter on it and new gas in it and boom..there you go

[@WesFarms]

It has a mechanical fuel pump

[@keitharseneau9845]

If I remember right that was the first truck you drove !?!

[@WesFarms]

Probably was!

[@jackjr.sparrow3668]

May need air filter to prevent dirt from entering in 5e engine …..cylinder walls will get ruined and loose compression

[@WesFarms]

Don’t worry I have one

[@samrugtiv3839]

Solenoid is bad kicking out buy a starter and a battery sod buster

[@cadenmonier218]

What year is that truck

[@WesFarms]

83

[@thehourglasswithaman]

You should’ve changed that oil while it was a little hot

[@WesFarms]

Didn’t run it long enough to get hot

[@thehourglasswithaman]

@@WesFarms it still would’ve stirred up all the sediment in the oil

[@jamesscimone1447]

If you want to see HUGE Channel growth keep reviving old Chevy trucks…. You’ll see…

[@WesFarms]

Running out of old chevys!!!

[@jamesscimone1447]

@@WesFarms You have a point there... that is true...

[@tobykuhns3795]

A little

[@Asmrdoge8]

Change the oil

[@tobykuhns3795]

No coil

[@frankwolfe3181]

If you know how to drive then you should be to leave tree exactly where it is.

[@WesFarms]

I clearly don’t know how to drive 🤦‍♂️

[@bobobrazil1973]

News flash folks these "will it run" videos. yes they will run or they wouldn't have uploaded the video to YT . Honestly these kind of videos are getting old. until they start doing the videos live where we can see the ones that truly fail to get them running ..all these are more than likely going to run by the end of the video.

[@WesFarms]

Thanks for the view 😁

[@Brokenaxleranch]

Vice grip garage posted a will it run on a 460 f250 and no it did not run

[@tobykuhns3795]

Hold it to the floor
