    That was the good thing about living in the back country here in SC. My 75 Fury ran outta gas and I could barely move it. 6 people actually pulled over and helped me out. Took all of them to get the car moving. Lol. I so appreciated their help, and they refused any money for their help. Good good people.

I laughed and laughed out of appreciation that it's not just me with that kind of luck. Sir, I've watched through about half your videos so far, back to back to back and man they are enjoyable and I am learning so much. I appreciate you, your videos and your way of thinking. Just simple, don't waste nothing kind of attitude. Let's get those old buggies runnin' and show those youngsters that old don't mean dead! I look forward to the other half of your latest videos. You're a bright light in this somewhat dark lookin' world these days. Great Job Chad, I'm glad I found your videos.

    When I was a young man I had a 66 impala ss with I think the same motor. From the factory it had 300 hp and came with a carter afb(aluminum four barrel) That is if it has double hump heads. Of course being young and crazy, I put a Holley 600 vacuum secondary and Black Jack headers. Lol I had a blast . Those bullet mufflers sounded so good. Great video my man, love the truck.

    It’s a good thing you are not doing experimental airplanes. Love the old truck. Years ago I bought an all original 1954 that had never been touched with 62,000 miles. The guys brother bought it new and it ran drove perfectly. $1000 I paid for it in 1989. It was a five window. The guy I sold it to in Winston Salem did a refurbish-restoration and paint and sold it for $15,000. The park brakes were amazing in their build and through the frame levers.

    My Dad's father passed away suddenly in 48 and he had to take over the farm, His Uncle Ralph was asked by Granny to help Dad learn how to farm. Ralph had a truck like that green with a Ohoogha Horn that he could feather so he could call the cows in at night. He was funny as hell and stayed with for many years. He would stop by and ask how much rain we got and when Dad was going to cultivate the beans. I asked about his truck when i was 14 but he said his grandson had already asked for it. It was a great old truck. My other granddad had a 47 Ford Flathead V8 but my other Uncle took it. I always thought a good old truck would a great weekend cruise and hauler. This is a nice one to clean up. Old 327 is a great motor too. Have fun. Dennis in Virginia

    Does she run as good and reliably as you remember it back in high school? I'm not surprised how well it started. It is a small block Chevy after all. Seems you can beat them hard and put them away wet and they still want to run. 5psi of oil and it'll drive all day.

    I know this is an older video, but it came up on my UA-cam feed today. I appreciate someone who wrenches on old cars. I grew up in the industry and I can relate. And although I have watched several of your videos in the past, I never put things together - but with the license plate, and the Rte 24 sign on a route in Montgomery County after you broke down - - were you on 41 south of Sango? I ask because I'm in Hopkinsville and that's one of our back routes from Nashville to get home when Rte 24 gets jacked up, or we just want a ride in the country instead of the Interstate 😎
    Nice to have local content. Now there's you, SleeperDude and Derek on VGG (although he tends to like those silly contests in FL more than wrenching on cars these days). Please keep up the good work!
