You need to sell it to someone who'll appreciate it and has the skills to fix it well.
Exactly, someone who has the skills to attack the bodywork properly. Anyone knows someone? Preferably someone with extraordinary bondo skills
He easily has the skills....maybe you haven't been watching his vids? He's much better at metal working/repairing then most other channels on YT. He's not a puppet and doesn't act or wear the clothes to "fit-in" with the crowd...another reason I like him. Too many social puppets out there these days...they don't know how to think for themselves plus they are afraid of what others will say....sad.
@@coherantbliss3483 Clickbait title gets dicey responses. The truck isn't in particularly bad shape. Around here they are rotted away. I'd do questionable things to find one that solid for a decent price. "Scrap metal"? Not in any rational mind, so let him sell it to someone who'll appreciate it.
@scottysgarage4393 It was for sale for the last 5 months with no takers. You and everyone else had the same chance to buy it that I did. If you appreciate these trucks that much then get off your keyboard and go out and buy one. They aren't getting any easier to find and they aren't getting cheaper.
@@CarterAutoRestyling I'm a thousand miles from you, had it been near me I'd have had it in a heartbeat
We all know you will fix it, with some complaining along the way no doubt. Now get to work
Yes, lots of complaining haha!
I come for the craftsman ship. Too many other channels just cut out the stuff and replace it when it is salvagable or don't even try. Watching you take something most would toss and make it look new again is pretty satisfying
Kyle, I speak for most viewers and look forward to watching you rework the metal making it fully functional again.
Thanks John! I hope you enjoy the series!
On a positive note , the washboard road knocked off a lot of the rust 😂😂, ,
Haha very true!
That's one important thing missing from these new vehicles, is you can't smell the road
I am looking forward to watching you work your magic.
Definitely fix. Very cool truck.
Cool ride! BUT- She’s definitely on the crusty side, which makes it a great platform for you to show your skills! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with her!
it's a gorgeous truck, Kyle. Simply magnificent. And the fuel gauge works too....I can see why you had to have it. Enjoy fixing it up
Yeah the fuel guage is a huge bonus!
It's got power steering... how could you NOT take it on as a project?! As you know, a great body style and sure did come with some extra goodies to help visualize a completed truck. You do what you're good at on it and take it as fa as you'd like on the channel and we'll all be happy.
Yeah we'll definitely be fixing this one up a bit! I hope you'll enjoy following along!
I came here for the sweet bird songs that make me feel so *_CALM_* and *_PEACEFUL._*
Now get to work on that POS !
Great winterbeater, no metal to rust away from the salt
Would love to see you conduct your wizardry on 66. You are very through and patient and are a joy to watch. Love the spirited cats.
I would love to see you do that truck, watching you turn fresh air back into a functioning vehicle is inspiring quite frankly. Your metal working skills have me riveted to each episode.
Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the rebuild!
Kyle, you have great metalworking skills and the videos are very educational and informative. And yes it's about the cars. But it is also very much about you, you, you, you! I watch every day for any new video!
agreed.
Thanks I appreciate you watching!
Hell yes, get welding 😄 can’t wait to watch the journey 👍🏻
Loved the 60’s style. Would love to see you make it look great again
I'd love to see you fix that up.
Great! I hope you'll enjoy the series!
It don't smoke. It goes and stops. An old friend said if it runs and stops, it can be saved. If anyone can do it, you can.
I enjoy watching you apply your skills whatever you are working on, but favor saving the older vehicles
buddy, all your subs are car people. We all want to fix them all. Don't worry about what your working on because your saving one we can't, and because you do it so well!
💯
Thank you!
Intro..... Epic!!! You always crack me up. Just remember when you make it big, stay humble and keep being yourself. Lotsa people who made forgot.
Wow, I tried to type and no words came out.
Can't wait to see you repair it.
I just bought one similar to yours today . Looking forward to seeing your videos on restoring your truck .
Right on, congratulations! These are great trucks
You know you can fix it. And you should. Even if you don't, I will still watch.
SO STOKED FOR THIS SERIES!!!
Glad to hear that!
Now you're talking my language, your 66 and my 62 would get along just fine. I'm past the roof and into the rockers finally.
She looks a teeny tiny bit worse than mine though. It will be fun to watch, Good luck!
It doesn't matter what you are working on, it's going to be great to watch!!
66 or 48, I’m looking forward to seeing it better. The cab is toast but not n e you’re done with that it’s “rust free” parts on and drive away
Always interested in watching you do your thing! Please continue
Thanks for watching! I shall continue
I would very much like to see a series of videos bringing this body back into highly respectable condition with the intention of extremely little use of Bondo.
Glad to hear that! I am planning a repair series on this one!
Man that thing would certainly be an ambitious project but with your talent it could absolutely be done.
Yeah it needs some tlc for sure haha
My dad had a ‘66 Chevy Pickup that looked similar to this one. About the same color, blue/green with red primer. He bought it used in ‘68. It had a six cylinder with a three on the tree. The bed side rotted out, looked like someone shot it with buckshot, and the wooden floor of the bed rotted out too. He passed it on to my brother, who then passed it on to our brother in law.
This is exactly the projects I would like to see you work on. Fresh from the field, or grandpa's back yard, how most Prairie Provice Projects start out. Let's face it, here in Canada, this is the best we can find. I hated seeing in the magazines where they would find some Arizona prime metal with a pin hole and say 'this fender is shot' and replace it with a whole new chineseium fender. Love your channel keep up the fantastic work!
Looking forward to the ‘66, it’s one of my favorites.
It takes a uniquely practised eye to be able to pick out such a fine example of a classic truck. Congratulations on your good fortune!
Haha thanks!
Kyle , you are so talented, we would like to see you "bring back" an old vintage car body that most people would have crushed long ago. However you can take on what ever motivates your craft because you are very capable !
Hello, Kyle, from England. Go for it !!!!!!! I will love to see you restore the '66. Cheers, love to watch you work, Richard.
Thanks for tuning in Richard! I hope you'll enjoy the rebuild!
Love watching your work Kyle 🙂 I’d like to see you bring it back to life 21:40
Kyle.. My wife also rolled of the assembly line in 1966 and from what I can C she is a 10! Your C10 with you on board just won the truck lottery!👩🏭Thanks for the ride.
Wow what a coincidence eh? Thanks Kelly
Interesting GM limited production early Astro Ventilation test bed. True collection item. Definitely worth a few taps and welds.
Yes. Complain and work away. Love your style. Continue saving the unsaveable.
Hey, it runs dries and stops! A few patch panels and it’ll be a sweet ride🎉 looking forward to future Contant
seeing the holes in the floor brought back fond memories of getting mud splashed in my face driving an identical truck many years ago can't wait to see how it turns out
I’d like to see you fix it up. Thanks for the enjoyment you have already given me.
NICE!!!
I would most certainly enjoy seeing the '66 C10 work.
Good things about a project like that.... the mechanical is pretty much done. Lifter tick is easy enough to adjust.
Also, the truck appears to have (what I refer to) 'Honest Rust'..... not heaving body filler, pop riveted floors, chicken wire with roofing tar.... just plain simple rust. I MUCH prefer something like that vs. digging out someone else's attempts to 'fix it up'.
I agree Russ! There's not much more frustrating than digging into someone elses repair attempts!
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Mine was a 63,similar floor ventilation. I screwed 3 layers of carpet over the passenger side, and one on my side, which created the illusion of having flooring and actually kept it toasty warm in the Michigan winter.
I'd definitely like to see the resto of this!
You found yourself a good project. I'm sure you work your magic on those panels.
Its like with every car someone will own, if you like it it is easy to spend hours on this rig. If not its kind of useless. But i have the feeling that just repairing this unrepairable stuff is your thing regardless if you are driving it afterwards. So go for it!
Fix it !! Desired body style ,when your done it's gonna be a decent start for some one else if you sell it
This is why I keep coming back.
Haha thanks for continuing to watch me suffer through these rusty junkers!
Brings back 80's memory of driving an older retired friend around in his 66 C10 327 3spd, he had a stroke and couldn't clutch it but loved riding around in it. Looking forward to seeing what ya do with it!
Right on! These are fun trucks!
Look forward to seeing you fix this truck. I especially like this vintage. Reminds me of my wasted youth.
A project that looks to be right up your alley! All that rust is likely to keep you busy with content for the next 4 seasons!
Saint Kyle for the win! 😉
Haha yeah we will be cranking out lots of content on this one! I hope you'll enjoy!
Holy doodle thats going to be a challenge!
Yes I would like to see you tackle the job. We haven't seen you do a model like that in detail so there will be plenty for you to explain and teach to us.
Greetings Kyle my friend! I am writing to congratulate you on your purchase of a very nice seat. Having said that, I'm in this one for the long haul, can't wait to see you work your quite literal magic on it.
Haha thanks for following along!
If you feel like fixing the '66, we would love to watch it.
Nailed the intro. ............ So true
Tons of compound angles to show how to replace on that one. Look forward to it,
Fix that thing!! You are the man
Love your opening! Generally when I see videos starting like this one, I click out of it immediately. I'm with ya!
Looking forward to seeing it being worked on. You have a great talent I enjoying watching you repair the metal that most would send to the junk yard.
Fix it looks like a good project.
I think that truck is a perfect addition to your channel!
Looks like a pretty big project Kyle. It'll be interesting to watch you do your magic on it. The bed should look pretty nice, clean up the metal strips and you'll be good to go! I say go for it!!!
Yeah Ken! It looks like I'm going to be going all in on this one!
LOOK at that PERFECT WINDSHIELD.
That is a fine specimen of a pickup!
KYLE, DEFINITELY a KEEPER!!!
Haha yeah the windshield was a huge bonus
Build it! Build it!
I Love It! As soon as I saw the straight six, I was hooked.
My vote is for doing it much the same as the 48 gmc. Regardless what you decide to do I’m looking forward to it and I will definitely watch.
I'd love to see the rusty 66 C10 done. My numerous rusty Packards would love you for the teaching moments. This is a GREAT channel.
LEE, you sure pushed my button. "PACKARD".
What do you have with the Packard name on it?
I have a '36, '37, '38 hearse, '39, '40, '48 hearse.
Live in SW Oklahoma.
Thank you! Hope some of the videos will help you with your Packards!
GLEN I have a 46 6, a 53 Cavalier, a 54 Convertible, 55 Caribbean, 56 400 and a 56 Caribbean HT. It's an addiction. I'm in southern BC Canada.
Geez, door gap is a little big on this one. Hopefully you can find someone to help line that up. Loved the intro, by the way. I can’t watch some of those selfie channels either 👍
My plan is to just fill up the gap with bondo and sand to perfection. That's what the pros do!
Lol, some may think you’re kidding but I bet you saw Scott build a bondo bridge and sanded to perfection, on his dodge truck door, too. The whole video I was shaking my head, but he did it. Cool truck you got there, nice that it drives and stuff works. Looking forward to seeing it become less see-through
Hi Kyle, of course we all would like see it fixed. It must be practically rust free now after gravel blasting it on the way home. There are a couple rough spots and there's a lot under your old nemmaness bondo, but I am sure you can make short of that. It ain't nothing you can't fix.😊
I enjoy watching you repair these old vehicles like you do. You seem to keep a low budget in mind and save what can be saved. I appreciate that. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you!
Yeah what a challenge yeah of course we want to see it done. That shrinking disc will get a real workout on those flat panels. Nice to see real time panel manufacturing too.
Wow, Kyle this takes me back. My dad had one of these and I couldn't remember what it was for the life of me. Learned to drive in this truck (well not THIS truck), thank you for the video! Looking forward to more bro.
Drive test is the type of country road I learned to drive a stick shift on. Like to see the 66 stick around.
Here in Ontario, that would be a $15,000 barn find, RARE Mint truck!! Runs and drives!! Lots of content in that C10!
I would love to see you work on this truck. The first vehicle I drove was a 1964 C-10 6 cylinder 3 speed on the column when I was 15
I will be looking forward to seeing what you can do with that truck. I grew up on Vancouver Island, and as a kid in the 1970's was very much interested in cars and trucks. That era of GM trucks were only around ten years old at the time, and EVERY one of them sported rotted out front fenders and rockers. The rust bug found them exceptionally tasty, and the next generation of trucks were much better at lasting longer. My '69 CST/10 has been in regular use for the last 54 years. Then the square bodies arrived in '73 and those suckers rotted into oblivion in a very short time! The later ones were much better... Love the channel...
Thanks! Yeah it's tough to find a buildable truck of this era! This one is definitely savable!
I have a 62 and 63 GMC pickup out back that I have been staring at for way too long. I will be interested in watching your repairs on the 66, it might even get me off my dead ass and start working on those projects. Thanks I for your videos and your wit. It isn’t politically correct but most technicians that I know are not very PC.. 👍
Haha PC and working on vehicles don't go together well! Hope you can get motivated to work on your projects!
That truck looks pretty normal for that era of truck. Working on a 1962 c10 just as bad as that one and it was also from Saskatchewan. Have fun😊😊😊
If you're up for tackling that poor old rusty thing, I'm down to watch! I've got a soft spot for mid 60s Chev trucks, a family friend who was like a second dad to me drove one until it couldn't go another mile. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
I about choked on my Hamburger Helper when you came in with the algorithm-induced big UA-cam energy. You're a handsome lad, but thanks for aiming the camera at your newest rusty pile. Looking forward to seeing it go together. Cheers, from New Hampshire.
Haha sorry about that! It won't happen again!
Having owned one that was similar to your '66 which I really liked, it would be fun to watch you work your magic on a truck most folks would probably say was beyond saving. Mine was a 283 V8 with "3 on the tree", but, like the 6 cylinder version, it was no hot rod. Still, it served me well in New Mexico, Southern California, suburban Chicago and back in So Cal when, in 1985, I traded it in for an El Camino.
We all want you to suffer through that one too. We’ll just enjoy from the couch🤠
Joking aside. Looks like you have some good parts to get you started. Looking forward to this one.
Nice fix fix
That 66 restored will outlive any expensive pile of plastic that most people are buying nowadays.
Regardless of what make or model.
Keep up the excellent work 👏
Very true! These were great trucks other than being prone to rust!
I can see we have the same taste in trucks ... I have my Dad's old plumming truck sittin in the back ... it's a 66 Chev 3/4 ton with a 261 granny trans with 56,000 on the clock ... so I'm all in on seeing what you do with this one ... should be a fun project ... have at it ...
That sounds like an awesome truck!
looking forward to this one
I don't know where you find these gems in the rough, but thank God you are. That truck needs saving. Looking forward to watching videos of this truck getting repaired. It sounds like this truck is ok mechanically. It just needs some cosmetic work. Love to have one of these old trucks, even if it needed some love.
Yeah they are neat trucks! I think I'll try to fix it!
Bring on the 66. Look forward to your sarcasm. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you.
If not you, than who? I just don't see a 66 C10 as an endangered species and even if it was I think you will do as good a job as anybody. All the while providing hours and hours of entertainment . My only disappointment is that it does not have more rust and rot because I enjoy watching your work so much. Having consulted several antique star charts I noticed that Saskatchewan is a very easy drive from the geographic middle of no where . You are to be commended for doing such a high quality of work under such primitive and isolated conditions. Being a faithful follower of the pro shaper channel I would recommend it to Scotty;s garage. especially if he enjoys working with Aluminum. Please carry on Mr. Carter
Absolutely, should awesome!
Love to see the 66 get new life and cant wait to see your videos fixing it up. Wish I had the time and money to learn how to do a little of what you do.
It’s awesome.
Frame looks solid.
Restore it.
Awesome. Looking forward to see this one refurbished.
Hope you'll enjoy the rebuild series!
Absolutely want to see you fix the 66 and preform your magic on it.
Forgot to mention , my son and i are really excited your gonna fix up the truck, we have just decided to look for a mid 60's chevy truck here in the UK 👍👍👍👍
That's awesome to hear, good luck on your search!
I would enjoy watching this truck get cleaned up.
