A trick I learned from an old guy when I was a young guy: Old engines often had stretched timing chains so the lights often didn't jive timing marks. He would fill a glass with water then set it on the fender. He would adjust the distributor so the water in the glass would develop concentric circles from the center. That meant the engine harmonics were balanced.
This is why modern two-stage paint systems suck. You can't do that to a clear coat when it inevitably goes away. I think clear coat was invented by the paint industry to sell more paint.
So rare to find a 1958 Apache out of commission in that great of condition. Many would love to own it. Slick's family is going to be so surprised to see what great work you have done to revive it to an awesome looking daily driver.
Do a few more of these 'radical' US-made vehicles and your mistakes will go down to zero. Practice, practice, practice! Slick and you have done a phenomenal job cleaning and buffing the truck. It looks great with the whitewalls and the white rims. Merry Christmas to all!
The fuel pump vacuum attachment is for vacuum windshield wipers and the choke should have a hard line going to the exhaust manifold. There is usually a hole in the exhaust manifold that you push the hard line into it if it has one.
Puddin' those fuel pumps usually go between manifold vacuum and the wiper motor. It can really go between manifold vacuum and anything that needs a good healthy source of vacuum. This was a parts store option to help vacuum options continue to work on tired old motors that didn't have any vacuum left. I had one on my 51 flathead with a giant cam and it definitely helped.
These videos are so great. Pressure washing never gets old. Slick throwing it and you catching it off angle is too funny. I couldn't imaging doing all of the mechanic-ing you do - let alone the researching, filming and editing and a hilarious explanatory running commentary.
Awesome 58 Apache,sweet looking truck. I would take her in a heart beat. Appreciate you helping Slick's family. Big heart Puddin. Man upstairs got gold stars on your record,he knows how you roll.
Truck is turning really nice, kinda like the caps, sorta matches the steering wheel cap. Definitely caught the quick glance on the 61 Brookwood wagon, can't wait for that.
Besides all the humor, your ingenious workarounds, (slop out of the distributor) are some of my favorite repairs you do. Thank you. Also love when your emotions get the best of you and you don’t try to hide it.
Oh yeah! A morning with Morske, and an evening with Puddin! A 2 for one day, so it don’t get much better! You did a masterful job on getting a stubborn old truck running right. It is a shame, but you see it more and more that some parts are very difficult to find for the older vehicles. Slick did his big time shine up, and when you both get ready done, she will be a sweet going to town rig, for his family to enjoy. Great job Guys! Merry Christmas 🎄🎅☃️❄️🌨️🙏🏻⛪️😊
And people will think those caps are factory. I have a few Oldsmobile 88's and they all came with 14" steel wheels and wire hubcaps... I swapped out the wheels from a 1994 Silhouette (15" aluminum) and everyone thinks they were a factory option!
I am really glad and relieved you found that set of break tools. It makes life a lot easier, especially on your knuckles. Enjoy, because I'm enjoying watching and listening to you explain everything you do. I hope your family is doing all right, take care, be safe.
It’s Time for your daily dose of Puddin y’all. Wowsers this turned out beautiful. Can’t believe it. Can’t wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld on. Keep Making. God bless.
That truck is Beautiful, the hub caps match the horn on the steering wheel. You guys did a fantastic job on that truck I would love to buy it . Those hub caps that you took out of the bed of the truck you should clean them all up and hang them all on a wall or even make a boarder around the top of the walls with them that would be sweet to see . But keep up the great work and God Bless you and your families. 🔥💯👍👍🙏🙏🇺🇸
I like it when these old trucks are left original instead of all chopped up slick really knows his way around the buffer did a really nice job this was a really good video it shows that when you're putting these engines in or tuning them up they do make mistakes keep up the good work you're doing a fantastic job and Merry Christmas to you and your family
Great show! The R hubcap is from a Rambler American, probably mid-60s. I had 3 of them (the cars not the hubcaps) as a teenager in the mid-70s. Mostly reclaimed will-it-runs. One of them several different times. (We traded cars a lot in my group of friends.) I think my first one cost me $25.00 at the salvage yard.
If anyone plans on becoming a mechanic they need to watch this video. If you don't have any patients, than this might not be the career for you buddy!!! Always expect the worst because most of the time things never go right. This way you will only have yourself to blame when things go wrong!!! This is why mechanics get paid the big bucks, and rightly so, they deserve every dime they make!!! Thank you to all the hard working mechanics out there for keeping us safe!!! Thank you doctor puddin for sharing, and all your hard work without two hours of talking!!!
I think it's so funny, out of all your trucks you put your small econ-O-box towrolla through way more abuse than anything else! lmao love the content and the truck turned out great!
Is it bad I make my husband wait to watch Puddin's videos till I can sit and watch too?😂 We both look forward to Mondays! Merry Christmas Puddin Family!!
Looking forward to the second channel continuation of this repair. I can tell ya, tracking down wheel bearings from this era is a pain in the ass - especially for the larger GM rigs. I am glad you solved the oiling issue up top - that would've been the end of that old 235. I had every confidence you'd get her running; all those GM inline sixes want to do is run. She is a an absolute beauty. Kudos to a great rebuild/refresh!
I mean, I know you're not especially good with the power washer, but you make it work as its own segment! Hilarious! 🤣Taco Boy! That's half the battle! You guys did a fantastic job, it's a beauty!
Let’s hear it for FrankenCarb!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dang right!

This is a great thing to know, thanks for passing it on
Man it's insane how good that paint looks after the buff job!
This is why modern two-stage paint systems suck. You can't do that to a clear coat when it inevitably goes away. I think clear coat was invented by the paint industry to sell more paint.
Modern paint is super thin... Just add an equally thin clear coat... D U N!
Hope you're having a good Monday
Prayers for your wife and her heart monitor thing.
Yeah. Hope everything is good
Cool to see a mostly stock project, brining around a gem.
That 58 is sweet.You two knocked it out of the park.

😮 Dang you guys made her pop!!!!✨✨✨✨✨
Best part of Monday,,,,,,, Puddin time
Tuesday* You Murican's livin in the past🤣
Buffing that old paint did the trick. Great job guys.
The man who made Monday the day to look forward too
No kidding, in all of my 31 years I have never looked forward to this day until I started watching puddin like 2 years ago
Hey Puddin, you got that Apache lookin so sweet that you got this Apache (WMAT) wantin it! ❤❤❤😊
What a beauty that truck is!! She shined up real nice.
MAN what A Shine ! BRAVO ‼
The "amateur weekend" comment by Slick was the best. It sure cleaned up great! You've done some nice work on it. That is one beautiful truck.
Man this thing cleaned up good!! Ole Slick's fam is gonna dig it for sure!!
That truly is a beautiful truck I have no doubt that Slicks family will absolutely love it
A puddin video to help my constipation 👍 THANK YOU SIR !!
Hot damn she shined up nicely the center caps are not bad neither.looking better and better everytime you guys touch it.
Those hubcaps would be a great decoration for the new shop!
I’d buy and daily that truck 24/7
I can’t believe the condition of the body on that truck! She’s beautiful, and I wouldn’t change a thing, as far as looks go! Loved the video!
If he still got it throw an alternator on it
When slick shows up “R Ford Ranger?” Got me busting up. Then again at the end.
That truck is turning out awesome! Beautiful old rig!
Do a few more of these 'radical' US-made vehicles and your mistakes will go down to zero. Practice, practice, practice! Slick and you have done a phenomenal job cleaning and buffing the truck. It looks great with the whitewalls and the white rims. Merry Christmas to all!
Nice job! Glad to see that GM coming along. Thanks for taking us along.
The fuel pump vacuum attachment is for vacuum windshield wipers and the choke should have a hard line going to the exhaust manifold. There is usually a hole in the exhaust manifold that you push the hard line into it if it has one.
Good looking truck man, that was a nice transformation.
Slick seems like a good dude too.
Omg 😆 cleaning the water pump fittings had me rolling. smh 🤦♂️ that’s way I love this channel great content Puddin
Puddin' those fuel pumps usually go between manifold vacuum and the wiper motor. It can really go between manifold vacuum and anything that needs a good healthy source of vacuum. This was a parts store option to help vacuum options continue to work on tired old motors that didn't have any vacuum left. I had one on my 51 flathead with a giant cam and it definitely helped.
Looks like a brand new truck, I like it.
These videos are so great. Pressure washing never gets old. Slick throwing it and you catching it off angle is too funny. I couldn't imaging doing all of the mechanic-ing you do - let alone the researching, filming and editing and a hilarious explanatory running commentary.
I had a 235 powered 55 Belair with that carburetor. It had a tube that went down and sucked heat from the exhaust manifold. Great video as always
Awesome 58 Apache,sweet looking truck. I would take her in a heart beat. Appreciate you helping Slick's family. Big heart Puddin. Man upstairs got gold stars on your record,he knows how you roll.
She's lovely. Kick ass job guys!
Truck is turning really nice, kinda like the caps, sorta matches the steering wheel cap. Definitely caught the quick glance on the 61 Brookwood wagon, can't wait for that.
Yeeeeayyyy!!! Tuesday evening! Have no fear, Puddin is here😁😁😁
Puddin always shows up when I need a life brake.
Thanks buddy 👍
I really like the old Chevy iron. Nice job boys.
That truck looks awesome. Great job, guys.
Nice work! She'll definitely meet the requirements of being road worthy. Thanks for sharing!
I love that truck. I never wanted to own an old truck as much as I want that one. So clean. You guys did great work.
Beautiful guys.
I love this truck and your generosity!
Really love this truck. I think I like it better without caps at all. Love that color too.
She looks and sounds great. You guys are doing a great job.
Very nice!! Beautiful! Gratulation! Good job! ❤
You nailed it’s amazing how you make a old truck come back to life with a lot of work thanks I’m sure he will greatly appreciate it
Besides all the humor, your ingenious workarounds, (slop out of the distributor) are some of my favorite repairs you do. Thank you. Also love when your emotions get the best of you and you don’t try to hide it.
@@Robrt32 to paraphrase the opening on nearly every video on the first channel, “.....they’re just having fun. It may not be for you buddy”
Thats slick as hell, them hub caps you put on match the horn EXACTY. Thats awesome
Looks like a good 20+ years of deferred maintenance in 1 video. Nice!
Awesome truck I love old beautiful real metal trucks

Oh yes, cant wait for the 61 wagon, the 58 Apache is looking sweet, looking forward to the oil and brake leak repair video and then the family reveal.
Finally something good to watch...
Truck looks amazing guys!!
Those s10 hubcaps look good on the Apache. That whole truck looks great. Very nice job. Looking forward to wagon next week!
And people will think those caps are factory.
I have a few Oldsmobile 88's and they all came with 14" steel wheels and wire hubcaps... I swapped out the wheels from a 1994 Silhouette (15" aluminum) and everyone thinks they were a factory option!
That's a hum-dinger of a beauty! Miss my "60" Chevy Apache-10 P.U. Awesome job Puddin:-)
I am really glad and relieved you found that set of break tools. It makes life a lot easier, especially on your knuckles. Enjoy, because I'm enjoying watching and listening to you explain everything you do. I hope your family is doing all right, take care, be safe.
Yes truck looking good, great video as usual.
You guys did a hell of a job on that baby! She is looking good. I’d drive the hell out of her. She’s a sweet going to town rig. ❤
Beautiful truck!!
Looks good sounds good 👍🏼 great job boys 👌
Love the channel. Best part of my Mondays.
What a heck of a difference! Great work, keep ‘em coming.
I look forward to Monday's to see my BS meter go haywire!!! Keep up the great work. As always great entertainment!!!!!
Still the best on youtube
That truck looks fantabulous!! as far as the outside i wouldnt chang a thing.

Lovely truck guys. Would love that!
WOW! That truck looks AMAZING! You guys did a great job!
I love the Apache. I'd drive this every day all day. Great little quick revival. The long bed works on this body. Thanks Puddin!
Checking in for another fantastic puddin monday! The best part of any week! Watching from Watertown, NY
B
We hope that your wife and everything is doing OK you bring so much joy to my husband's life he thinks you are hilarious keep up the videos
Damn Puddin, you've run into every problem that you could have with that truck.
At least the radiator was still solid! Sometimes they can develop a pin hole leak in a solder joint.
Should do a show, show how Slick brings the color back in the paint. Wow that looks really nice
Here we go with another good one!!
Looking good.
That truck just looks absolutely amazing what a great job youse have done on it , keep up the fantastic content puddin
Hope miss Puddin is ok and the rest of your family as well
Great job! Looks awesome! Surely can’t believe how good it looks. ❤
Old-school Buick Riviera center caps is what you have there and nice ones at that
I really would love to find one of these in such good shape.
That truck is Beautiful, the hub caps match the horn on the steering wheel. You guys did a fantastic job on that truck I would love to buy it .

You got that right. Me too👍
You need slick on the main channel, y’all’s banter is funny as hell and it makes the second channel that much better!
Man that paint cleaned up super well. Always nice to see a classic be brought back to life, and that blue is an awesome color
I love this rig. Wish we had em in Australia
Great show! The R hubcap is from a Rambler American, probably mid-60s. I had 3 of them (the cars not the hubcaps) as a teenager in the mid-70s. Mostly reclaimed will-it-runs.

I've killed a Corolla. She didn't go down easy, I'll tell you that.
I love it as a long bed sweet looking truck!!
Is it bad I make my husband wait to watch Puddin's videos till I can sit and watch too?😂 We both look forward to Mondays! Merry Christmas Puddin Family!!
Great old truck! I can't believe the exterior turned out so good. Makes a perfect survivor truck.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your much deserved break!!
