Will This Big Block Square Body RUN and DRIVE 400 Miles After Years?!

True and I also like the two tone yellow and tan colors

Love the round eye square body too. The color is great-perfect for that era.

[@billmanning3018]

I bought the Twin to this truck same color combo,454 camper-special dual tanks that worked! Had the factory soft camshaft that was common in 1978!

[@richardbates2367]

Yeah what I was going to say this is smog era 454 probably a 4 .56 gear truck it would benefit from better exhaust cam kit and I do know people who have put 3.73 gears in them don't think id go that far but definitely better carb rebuild and nix the smog pump and cat and probably the exhaust pipes are half plugged from sitting put a new exhaust system on it

[@richardbates2367]

The truck I had I was referring to being camper special specd but not the expensive option with the badges was a 78 Chevy c20 custom deluxe long bed regular cab farm truck two tone emerald green and frost gloss white center and tailgate it was a 9 leaf spring pack truck plus overload spring,14ff 4.11 rear gear th400 350sbc also smog era soft cam era truck one hell of a workhorse always hauling more than it's own weight

Always change the brake lines if possible!!! They swell inside out & will lock up

[@gregczika7674]

Good job fellas. That square body's got good bones. Plenty of potential. Sure you'll have no problem selling as is... or make some upgrades, enjoy it, and still sell it nicely. Who knows... maybe you'll like the old bowties more and more.

[@NileKelly]

The mystery third line off the sending unit just goes to the charcoal canister supply return vent to the canister. You can thank smog regs and the EPA for that extra bit of plumbing.

[@richardbates2367]

Mine had gotten wet somehow and would flood out the truck until it was unhooked

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Makes sense!

[@Nzchimeran]

Testament to old Chevy trucks. Would be good to see a budget rebuild

[@OdySlim]

I cut the hose off by the frame and push the line through and put a 12 point wrench over the nut. On the inside I use a line wrench. Easy Peasy

[@richardbates2367]

I used vice grip pliers on the other side so I don't have fight the brake lines and then damn clips and my dodge ram is even more of a pain in the ass just saying..

[@jeffhutchins7048]

In an emergency you can blow through those filters backwards and clean a lot of the crap out of them. Even flow fuel backwards through them with hose and a funnel.

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Good tip!

[@jeffhutchins7048]

I like the later squarebody way better. Owned quite a few, never really fell in love except for the later Suburbans. I like the Dodges better and the '67-'79 Ford except for their gas engines, some transfer cases with no low range in 1/2 tons. Axles were usually the best of the era except they were alergic to front discs for so long. '77 F-250 4wd was the best. Good looking body and grille with front discs. Good axles, trans and x-cases.

[@thinkingofyouto1]

Had the same problem with mine replace the proportioning valve I redid all the brakes and the lines and I still had an issue I replace the portioning valve I have damn good brakes mines a 1979 camper special Chevy three-quarter ton never mind. I finished the video appears that’s not the issue

[@dannykanchanarin4295]

For future projects since you two seem to always have shit luck with brakes, look into ALLSTAR Nylon brake line kit to leave in your packout box. It’s universal and since it’s nylon lines it’ll flex enough for use on the front wheels and it’s safer than no brakes at all. No it’s not a permanent solution but at least it’ll get you home.

That looks handy!!

[@richardbates2367]
