Dam, even my ten year old gran son is smart enough to dump some gas down the Carb.

[@TheMechanicDave]

Thanks!

[@mainelyelectric]

I have basically the exact same truck for my farm with a few different things than yours. Mine is a 1976 and doesn’t have those snap ring rims or that crazy looking dump lift mechanism and many more things. Mine is also red! We name it BIG RED

[@TheMechanicDave]

Nice! 👍

[@TheMechanicDave]

Nice! 👍

[@craigpalmer5693]

Chevrolet c30 sitting there long time hope you get engine running out all the grass need tune up awesome friend bless you get gas truck

[@TheMechanicDave]

Thank you! We just ordered a new carb for it and a fuel tank, should be a decent truck once we get the bugs worked out of it

[@Brian-vc1oy]

You have a very dependable truck there. The tire has a solid lock ring on it. Be careful with it. I trained on them in 82.

[@TheMechanicDave]

Yeah I let a shop mess with it

[@PatrickBaptist]

You really should put some Delo or Rotella in that older engine, much better for them, it doesn't have to be a diesel to use that oil, the zinc is a big plus. Just found yer channel today, really been enjoying thanks!

[@jonhair4034]

Needed to change the u bolts when you fixed that rear axle ...better watch and make sure they stay tight

[@TheMechanicDave]

Yeah I’ll keep and eye on them, thanks

[@lhgarage-triplethepricehal1663]

Oh man that’s a nice truck

[@TheMechanicDave]

Thanks!

[@brittballard4030]

What other kinds truck can you drive from its grave zero chevy all day I own a 87 Cadillac fleetwood love it I also owned a 82 chevy van.

[@TheMechanicDave]

I’m not sure I need to find some more!

[@jaydengames08roblox85]

I like this because it has that worn look all over it and because it has a dump bed and it has that classic work truck look too plus my dad owned a 1985 chevy c10 and so I how to work on it

[@thatguy_jose]

Its called, character bro. I love it too

[@stevemitchell9848]

It is obvious that the idle circuit on the carburetor is partially clogged

[@gerin1946]

Would be good to make a 4 wheel drive truck ! Real 4 XD tires --- you have to check the hydraulic valve lifters, and make a good valve adjustment !!! All the best with that piece of machinery !!! Keep strong and take good care !

[@redjasper1100]

Why would you make it 4 wheel drive??

[@KevinRichards-rk3gp]

I believe thaz either a 77 or 78 because of the headlamp bezels. The 79 - 80 models had bezels with the front blinker lights in them.

[@FangBlah]

Used oil in a spray bottle for lube; now that, is recycling :D

[@GeekAndSon]

That was fun to watch!

[@TheMechanicDave]

Thank you!

[@1965Gindy]

Other day I saw a truck exactly like that sitting in the same kind of spot in the same kind of condition.

[@TheMechanicDave]

Awesome

[@TheMechanicDave]

Thanks for watching! Yeah it’s taken a long time to get 194 haha

[@damonabets3779]

TheMechanicDave yeah currently on my KZbin channel I'm working on getting 100 subscribers on my KZbin channel you should subscribe! hehe

[@Budget.Hot.Rodder]

[@joshuabrooks4907]

This truck sounds like it's ready to go to work.

[@TheMechanicDave]

I think it is 👍

[@AndysDogHouse]

Good morning. I just came upon your channel and I like what you have going on. I subbed your channel so I can follow you. I have a 1954 Dodge Fargo 1/2 ton that I am restoring and I hope I can learn something from following you. I hope that you will drop over to the Dog House and maybe give me some tips. I am new to restoring and I really don't know what I am doing so I can use all the help that I can get. Thanks for sharing.👍👍

[@markamcampbell6340]

i liked the tractor in the background.

[@TheMechanicDave]

It’s an old 8n maybe one day I’ll mess with it

[@ericmcguire5469]

Make more news videos I like to watch your videos

[@tylercovert3331]

How hard is it to bleed the lines on a c30 diesel. Have one the farm needed new fuel filter. Now it's got air in the lines.

[@darkknightjpw]

I had a 79 chevy step side and while I didn't have a temp gauge I had the idiot light but for as long as I had the truck the light was disconnected because the sensor was bad. They had a rep for going bad all the time.

[@bradyfox6777]

Did anyone else notice at 4:30 when he closed the hood he bent the hell out of it

[@TheMechanicDave]

It was already bent

[@SHADOWMARE174]

LOL i saw that your not joking

[@bustyrandit]

Sadly that happens a lot with Chevy trucks from 73 to 80. the hood springs are too strong and after years of being opened and closed, they finally bend there. If you're lucky enough to have one not bent, you can get a renforcement kit from J C Whitney, least you could. Nowadays, you could take 2 strips of metal and do the same.

[@FangBlah]

They are not called Chevy bent hoods for nothing. :)

[@Burnside1905]

You don't just pull down on the 73-80 hoods. You push back, and then push down, and if you don't the hood will bend. The hoods were designed to crumple, so if you were in a wreck it wouldn't come back into the cab.

[@offroadgamer4929]

Probably little too late, but what size wheels/tires does it got? I’m looking at a 73 and they should be the same

[@keepamericayisraelgreat5708]

I liked this video...Thanks

[@jaydengames08roblox85]

what motor does it have? ima ford guy but i like chevy tho

[@joegr8483]

Chevy will run with just an oil jug with a little hole in the bottom of it an placed over the card..

[@TheMechanicDave]

Yes sir

[@abo_mohammed_dr4851]

This car is from 1976 and earlier, because the interiors are in wooden style

[@goodrichfarms8795]

Yes, as my 80 C30 has no wood in the interior and the grill is the smaller squares

[@Burnside1905]

Depends on trim level, not the year

[@frenette3266]

looks like you have a axle seal leak or a brake fluid leak in the rear

[@bigbird9794]

Holy ether shot

[@TheMechanicDave]

I wasn’t messing around haha

[@thatguy_jose]

Okay so you described in the beginning of the video that the carb is flooding the engine and you still decide to always keep pumping the gas and you kept going wide open. Like I'm surprised you didn't hydrolock the engine. I didn't like how you kept on forcing the engine to stay on..like I believed you just got to chill out you you don't know how to drive a standard transmission in general. Your gonna kill the starter. You didn't even give the engine time to warm up. My father isn't even that aggressive with his k20...I thought it was just harsh for the poor truck.

[@TheMechanicDave]

Ok

[@joegr8483]

I would think it had a rat motor in it at one time with it having the hidroboost brakes..

[@TheMechanicDave]

Could have
