Will it run and drive after 30 years 1969 Chevy truck

[@neolithicnobody8184]

The smoke was the truck's way of saying "Thank you for fixing me. Now, let me help YOU by getting rid of those skeeters you were talking about." lol I love these old Chevy trucks. My Dad had a 67 with the same setup but was Red with a White cab top. Talk about a work horse!! Myself, I had the 68 GMC 3/4 ton with the monstrous V6 and 4-on-floor(1st was a Granny EXTREME). Uprooted many stumps with that Granny Gear. Great for baling hay, too. Ease out in Granny and let it just idle. I'd then hop out and walk along tossing and stacking bales as it slowly crept across the field. Had an older Brother with a 76 JEEP J20 with a max load of firewood rounds and got stuck(yes, even in 4x4). Normally my Dad's 67 C10 would pull him out, but one time got stuck as well. That 68 GMC pulled BOTH out while still being chained together. Dad's 67 could really carry the mail where my 68 could haul the Post Office building. lol Totally geared different, but equal in performance in their own Class.

Seeing a rig like that run after so many years is truly satisfying.

[@wolfiethedog76]

I like seeing old stuff being brought back to life....woof

[@frederickbooth7970]

We have a 1970 C10 we found at a Memorial Day garage sale. Best $450 we ever spent! Have rebuilt the entire front end & rewired the alt. & reg. circuit as well as replaced the rubber fuel line with a metal one we made. The rubber line was running up across the butterfly exhaust manifolds!! Some people are dumb regarding gasoline fuel safety! Had another rebuild the 350 Turbo-Hydramatic transmission before he retired. Even hauling a 26 bales of 3-tie alfalfa at 50 to 55 mph the old truck attains 17.1 mpg at a steady 1,710 rpm. Amazingly slow engine speed from the factory. Must have real tall gears.Even came with the original warranty plate from Romania Chevrolet in Eugene, Oregon. We live in Dayton Or. Great to see your old C10 running again!

[@terryrose6208]

Had one of those. Dropped a high performance 327 into it, headers, an oversize clutch, positive traction rear diff and had a blast until a "friend" wrecked it for me. I still dream about that truck thirty five years later.

[@michaelmclaren1333]

Dude, you are very mechanically gifted. I know this one wasn’t as difficult as some of your other will it run episodes, I just gotta say hats off!!!

[@rupe53]

Been turning a wrench for 50 years plus and never thought to use a pop rivet as a way to block off a blown brake line. My best "hack" was always to fold it over and put a vise-grip on it till I got back to the shop.

[@mrlowtide1]

I’ve been binge watching your videos in no particular order. I’ve liked all of them but I have to leave a comment. I’m in my 40s and I’ve been on KZbin for a minute, watching different videos, trying to figure out what I enjoy watching the most. Watching you get these things to fart smoke and breathe life, even if only for a little while… it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve seen on here. I’m assuming you’re not that old but you conduct yourself in a mannerism that appeals to older folks. I can show your videos to my grandson and not have to worry one bit. Thank you! Please keep the awesome content coming🤙🏻🇺🇸❤️‍🩹

[@NoName5589]

These will it runs have been so fun to watch, thank you for letting us come along to see these wonderful machines wake up

[@cfed95]

2 years ago I bought a rotted body 74 k10 for $500 out of some guys backyard. Every panel was rusted, the tires comepletely flat. Hadn't even been registered since 2009 let alone run. Hooked up a battery and a fuel can to the pump similar to this video. It started up without hesitation. I6 as well. These motors just want to run, it's amazing.

[@tonycr27]

The thing that makes your videos more appealing to me, is that you seem to be a nice person, its just like fixing a car with a friend. A follower from Costa Rica 🇨🇷✌️

[@74nova36]

Bro, you’re an inspiration. I wouldn’t normally go out of my way to try and reach out to someone making videos, but hands down I was addicted to all your videos and killed my whole last week of work watching from the Diamond T to the Bavaria. You’re really doing something I enjoy, and I’m pretty sure I’ve learned a ton. Really makes me feel more confident wrenching around on my 250 in the 74 nova I got. Appreciate you brother

When the old gal fired up it was satisfying. When she started moving, a grin came across my ol' mug. Does a feller's heart good to see a good ol' Chevy truck get rescued.

[@MontsFamilyHomestead]

Love these classics, three on the tree was what I learned on. Might need a valve seal or two. Hard to believe the pressure plate and clutch still worked after 30 years of sitting. Power brakes on this one was how much power you could put on the brake pedal. LOL

You should use Marval Mystery oil in your fuel. It works wonders for starting things. Had an old push mower that was always surging while it ran. Put some marvel in the fuel and the thing ran perfectly from there on out. It cleans the fuel system. I run it in all my stuff. Car and truck and tractors.

Excellent, Jennings few more details could be a daily driver~ Love my old Chevy trucks, bought a 66 with a messed up impala engine in it, and rather than mess with the exhaust manifolds, ran with another 400 "rebuilt" from the junkyard, repainted and loved the three speed with the EL extra-low so a farmer could pull his plow~ anyways tortured that thing by putting three tons of roofing material onward the dump~ when we got back from three days of driving from CA to WI the main crank was loose and wobblin, sold it for 500, the exact same price I paid, but surely painted inside and out, seat was okay, and needed nothing~ but got 15 years out of that ole truck~ at oakland airport had the license plate stolen and 3 stereos were stolen during the night over the years~ will take manual shift over automatic any day of the week~.....a Heavy-duty clutch does nothing but cause leg cramps, and High capacity oil pumps are the source of your oil leaks~ am crippled now, but truly adore your spirit~

The real fun stuff is when you get down and dirty with the pistons and clean them up real nice like the bore work is always interesting even when they might not need it. You should get yourself handy at this part of restoration its the part of the job that could make it or break it but you really give the engine all its potential in how it runs which is a nice unknown in an old restoration.
