This is my dads truck he passed in 2007. That truck was worked on by me, him, my brother, most of my nephews. Its been cleaned and loved by my nieces. It was last drove in 2008. Its been a yard ornament until my mom passed may 3 2024. This truck means A LOT to my family. My momma gave it to me years ago but I left it in her yard because it gave her comfort seeing it there. I decided it needed to be honored by being resurrected. It's a way of my mom and dad going on and living again. Hearing this truck crank and run made me burst into tears. We use to use this truck to drag cars back and forth from the auction. My dad was a shade tree mechanic and when he passed he had 29 cars on 2.07 acres of property. He never kept a vehicle very long and this truck he had only had it about 5 years before he passed. Im so glad to see her coming back to life. Its like honoring my parents in my own way. Now if i can stop crying 😢. Thank you so much for getting her going. Im so joyful. I wanted it to go to a young man that would love it like I do. Enjoy Jude!

[@JMRRebuilders]

This is so cool and so thankful to have been a very small part of the story. Thank you for the comment and support. So glad you got to see it again moving and such.

[@tonyacaldwell1684]

I'm still crying. You have turned my tragedy into joy.

[@CarburetedCowboy]

I loved that you showed us what you were doing inside the truck while starting it. Please make more like that! Maybe even some cold starts with that view too. Great channel and awesome content!

[@JMRRebuilders]

That is awesome you are the second person to state that view was important. That is interesting never thought of it and was a total accident. Thank you so much for the kind words. As a single youtuber it is often hard to make sure you get things. Thank you for the comment and support.

[@CarburetedCowboy]

@@JMRRebuilders You're doing a great job! And yeah that view is great because starting new cars is so boring... with carbureted stuff, it's neat to see what you do with the gas pedal and all that. It's a lost art.

[@JMRRebuilders]

Good to know thanks brother.

[@Steve-r5y1s]

I think it's funny that it's had a ford implant. I've done the same. I've even put chevy on ford and had a truck that had ford chev and dodge parts. Love the older trucks.

[@JMRRebuilders]

Heck yeah whatever it takes to make it run right. Let's go brother. Thanks for comment and support. Check out our other content

[@thebigguymarv]

I’ve drove a few fords but I really love my chevys. Unlike some other makes Chevy will run. You don’t have to get mean with it. All you have to do is put on your man pants a quit whining. You know what they say. Ford strong on Chevy parts

[@JMRRebuilders]

You should check out our other content we got some ford and gm stuff. Thanks for the comment and support.

go watch zip ties and bias plies he has the most abused truck on the planet named slave lake and it has proved to be the toughest and most reliable truck on youtube. anyone who talks crap about ford trucks needs to watch that before they run their mouth!

You kill me when you turn your pliers backwards

[@mikegonzales7234]

I guess you don't know about putting some starting fluid around the rim and lighting it up. It would pop right back into the rim.

[@JMRRebuilders]

Thanks tor comment and support. Check out our other content

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Bro! 👍👍

[@JMRRebuilders]

Let's go bowtie lover

[@stevenhovinga6584]

You had a can of starting fluid that and a spark and your tire would be back on the rim. Also you might want to bring some transmission fluid with you when your reviving these cars/trucks. fluids are vital.

[@JMRRebuilders]

Yeah I was not wanting to risk it on the tire. Def need to bring tranny fluid. Great point thanks for comment and support.

[@RogerBlackwell-b7r]

Wire is probably rerouted to keep off the headers

[@JMRRebuilders]

Yeah that's totally a possibility. Thanks for comment and support

[@Backroadjunk]

If that truck could talk i'd bet it have a story or two to tell.

[@JMRRebuilders]

Brother ain't that the freaking truth man. She been yanking stuff for years. So freaking cool. Thanks for the comment and support

[@richardbates2367]

Needs automatic transmission fluid,, and I actually use a husky brand socket set myself

No not vortec they are 88-96 305/350 center bolt truck heads vortec heads the intake bolts go straight down into the head not on an angle

[@Michigander2024]

i had to stop watching, you were doing everything wrong lol. That trans had barely any fluid hence why it was slipping, then dumping a half a can of starting fluid down its yap, then on first start after it sitting for years you rev bombed probably dry valve train. i might subscribe later down the road but not right now, ill stick with VGG. good luck tho I loved the concept you got going. fr. sincerely future subscriber

[@JMRRebuilders]

No worries brother I'm not exactly vcg and that's OK. Gotta run then walk. I'm sure I'm gonna do alot wrong along the way and having people tell me that will hopefully make me better. Either way I appreciate the view and the criticism. All good come back when ya ready no worries brother.

The bed thing is obvious bit the wheel thing could be just rims as the front axle has been upgrade to 8 lug
