I spruced up a '83 J-20 (3/4ton). Put in a long block 360v8, redid brakes, radiator, custom wheels, good quality paint job, new upholstery, repaired rust spots. Made it look really good. Drove it a couple years and sold it when I got tired of it. I didn't break even on it but came close probably because it was a 3/4 ton which is less available than the 1/2 tons, and the buyer wanted a 3/4 ton specifically. I've restored to a reasonable extent a 78 Malibu and an 80 Malibu and sold them later. It was a time I went thru and that's what I wanted to do. Now I have a new Honda Hybrid and a C-6 Corvette because that's what I feel like having.
You understand what Tony did to earn a living for years right? He took cars like that apart down to the last fastener, every single little bit of usable sheet-metal ...

That's a cool Jeep. The pickup style (Comanche?) is harder to find of course. Most are the Wagoneer/Cherokee type. What year is that? I'm more familiar with the old AMC cars than with the Jeep products. (The steering wheel and column says early 70s to me but it doesn't have the "flat" door handles.) I understand the problem when when you have a vehicle that is worth more as parts but I hate to see so many old cars being parted out. The old cars have character that is not common in newer cars.
@@ted458 yea that was like 88 or so. The J10/J20 or the gladiator body were built from 63 to 87. The J10/20 were full sized trucks. To where the commanche was a smaller truck based on the XJ platform. It doesnt even have a frame per say. More of an X frame design to help make it a pickup truck. Had a comanche a neighbor has next to my J10 and its deff much smaller and only had 6 cylinder engines. A gm v6 early on then the 4.0. Commanche reminds me of an S10 or ford ranger. Similar in size. I wouldnt mind having one as a toy. But i wouldnt focus on it as much as i do my other Jeeps. What i really want is a Fc 150 or FC 170 Jeep. Those are reallly cool. The fc 170 has a 9 foot bed and can hold iver 3500lbs of weight. Which is so weird.. considering its got a weaker engine. And the frame from a cj7.. which is smaller than a J10/J20.

I like the Jeep and I'm with you for the main reason of I don't like the other guy at all and I think eventually in the long run his channel will drop off because of his mouth and attitude.
@@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 thank you. He has hit a peak in subs its pretty much stopped where its at. Im not saying he doesnt know his stuff.. hell i learned things from him. But he has that attitude about him where he cant take anyone elses opinion. And goes off on them. Almost every other video of his is him responding to comments he doesnt like. Like he cant handle any form of critique or any other opinion. And he will jist toss out his years doing things and pull out his magazines he wrote 40 years ago. Like his car part sales thing he told everykne and me he did it for 10 years. Ok ? Ive been doing it for 20 now. So what ? I know what hes talking about as far as car part value. But the arguement in hand wasnt buying a vehicle cheap and parting it out to make money. He litterally said that antique cars sell for the part value. That isnt true at all. They sell for their overall condition and rarity if theyre rare. Not for what their parts are worth. A perfect example is when you restore a vehicle. Or build a Jeep for example. Yes it raises its value. But you also rarely get the money you put back into it. Unless you did the work yourself or had employees you pay to do it. Versus being charged a premium by a shop if that makes sense. But again were talking about cars like my Jeep or his cuda.. which are worth only about 3-3500$.. are the parts worth more ? Hell yes. But is the truck worth more ? No it isnt. Thats all i said and he blew up on me calling me ab idiot in his live streem 2 weeks ago and then making a video the next day talking about me. Hes done this to me before when i made a comment abiut engines catching on fire. When gasoline gets all over the intake manifold and combusts. I had it happen and it caught wires rubber and plastic on fire and if i didnt hose it off i woulda lost my Jeep. But he fired back saying it isnt possible. Made a video talking about how stupid i am.. ge set his manifold on fire and it burned out. But his vehicle had no wiring. No vacuum tubing. Nothing to contiue the fire its two diff scenarios. I at the time didnt have a channle like i do now so i couldnt respond back. But now i have a decent channle and i can respond in kind. But the only reason i would get negative comments like i have is because he has a cult following. Much like any republican or democrat does.. where people follow them simply because. I also do not delete comments. He does. When i asked him to watch this video as i an dead serious on the bet. He deleted my comments but not before he AGREED with me that it woyldnt sell for 7k because it isnt worth 7k. Only its parts are. Which is hilarious that he changed tone and agreed. Tbh i want my $500. lol.. joking
@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 the most important thing for yourself is don't let him rent space in your head or determine the direction of your channel. You are right about his "followers", they will defend most anything he says. None of that matters for you or your channel though. Personally I wish I had the time to follow him and actually catch him with a car he built at the drag strip so I could show up and embarrass him. None of that is relative to me improving my income or enjoyment of laugh though so he can do whatever he wants , I could care less. You also surely realize he is far from being the only channel operator to piss off people LOL.
@@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 true lol. Hes stuck in the past his bottle rocket car is a cool build. But its not that fast.. not like ppl make it out to be. My stock 98 grand cherokee 5.9 limited is faster lol. Old (muscle) cars of the oast are really really slow unless you invest a ton of money in building them. As a Jeep guy i laughed so hard when he was calling his new XJs muscke cars. Because of how (fast) they are to him. Hes so used to old vehicles.. he hasnt a clue what newer stuff is like today .. and by new i mean 90s up. If an XJ cherokee with the 4.slow engine impresses him that much.. that tells you something right there. I remember him driving one of his family members suv i forgot what it was just some basic modernish suv and he was impressed by ots braking power and other things. Its like he didnt leave 1973

No one will buy for seven grand for parts.... because they want it for 3 grand and it takes a lot of work to part one out. You could get damn near 1500 just for the axles. Then there's motor and trans maybe 1500 if they're good. And you haven't even touched the body or interior yet. Think of all the parts that aren't reproduced. It's definitely not a quick flip but if you hang in there, you easily have 10 k . Your gonna get lit up in the comments. You ought notta done that. But I'll bet this will be your highest viewed video because you called out dear old uncle Tony. If that's how you gotta get views, then that's kinda cheating.
@@jasonwakeman3821 what you said is exactly my point i was trying to make to Tony. Buy it for 3k.. strip it for 7k. But Tony. On a live stream called me an idiot saying any classic will sell for imwhat its parts are worth. That right there mean itll sell for 7k. Do you get what im saying here ? He wasnt right on that. Why cant anyone understand this... (Itll sell for what its parts are worth, youre an idiot) is exactly what he said to me. Hes the idiot because no car will sell for part value. Itll sell for what the vehicle is worth. Then someone will strip it make a profit. That was all i said. And thats exactly what you said.. Sooo what you said is exactly the loint i was trying to make. So yes ill make a video calling his dumbass out. I dont need views i get thousands of views on my shorts and other videos. I wanted to make a point. And you actually proved my point by saying exactly what i was trying to tell him. The reason i made this video is because he made a video talking about his barracudas trunk shock being worth $150 trying to make his point talking about me yet again. Hes done this before when it came an engine fire video. He poured gas on his barebones engine and lit it on fire and it fizzled out. He made that video to try to mock my comment i made about engine fires. Take note he did this on his barebones engine. Ive had engine fires from testing intake manifold vacuum leaks. And it didnt fizzle out it spread and caught the wiring and rubber and plastic around it on fire and it woulda burned my car down. But he had to prove his point under totally diff circumstances. Im sick of him doing that. He does it for lots of people. He does it for views, Makes videos thr next day talkin crap about someone. Its extremely easy to make a video talk for 5 minutes about someones 2 sentence comment.. and they have no way to actually convey their point out. Its a one way wall with him. Tony has critisism issues. And hes always right.. always. Lol. But i have my own channle so i can actually fire back at him. And thats exactly what im doing. And i doubt itll be my highest viewd video i have some nearing 100k views
To be completely fair I am drunk and I rewatched your video and I did get it twisted. I did make your point. But....... did you see the video where he sold his dart swinger for cheap? Because he also made your point in that video. Also I don't believe without proof that he called you an idiot. I do go through his comments because I don't have much of a life anymore since I'm physically disabled and I've not seen him be shitty with people who watch his channel, it's not good practice to demean you're viewers and there's about a thousand people rapid firing comments at him. Who's got time to for that? Maybe he did. But the replies are public and I don't hear anyone else saying things like this. Again maybe he did but that's a pretty bold claim against someone whom probably gets a lot of ignorant comments and a lot of know-it-alls considering his channel is about trying to keep this hobby and passion alive. Don't part that jeep out, those are pretty cool and you don't see them very often 👍👍
@@timothykeith1367 i feel it was. Thats the 2nd time hes name called me abd made multiple videos after talking about me in the 3rd person. I had enough of that. Thank you for your comment
Whats the sense in argument about this stuff? For most people getting involved in old vehicles; buying, restoring, repairing and selling......its a losing proposition. I can't afford to lose money. I can't afford to waste money. It's all I can do to keep my fleet of daily drivers on the road. Guys like Uncle Tony are the 1%ers. Working on old stuff is his life's work. He has the accumulated knowledge and the tools, spare parts and the work space and connections in the industry. He can get involved in projects and not totally lose his shirt. No disrespect intended but I'd take his word about the value of things over yours.
Youre not understanding this. On a live stresm in front of 300 people. All i had was 150 words to make my point i said no vehicle sells for the sum of its parts. He called me an idiot in front of everyone saying he got this amazing deal on his cuda because he paid 3500 for it and its parts alone are worth more. No.. he got a average deal.. he got a what the car is worth deal. No one sells or will buy a vehicle for $7000 because it has $7000 in parts on it. That was my point. They will buy it for 3k. Strip and sell the parts. But he actually made it a point for 15-20 min on his live stream continuisly saying that his cuda could sell for wayyyyy more due its parts value. Hes the idiot Not me, he also has critisism issues. He cant take any lick from anyone because hes always right. On this subject hes wrong. If you wanna believe him over this go for it. But im seriously hoping you can understand this whole subject after i explained what happened. After his little rant he had people in chat saying their unsubbing and even his wife called him out over the name calling. Hell his wife cringed on the video where he showed off his cuda where he bought it because she knows he overpaid. But he was trying to make a point about part value. No one was talkin part value, but vehicle value at a sale. Get it ???? According to his logic EVERY vehicle is an amazing deal because they will always sell for more if you take months stripping and selling the parts.. lol
I would never buy a rust bucket unless I needed the parts for a project. Most of the time, my project only needs a few parts, it's not worth buying an entire rust bucket. Good luck with your rust buckets...
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 nothing is rusty on my truck anymore besides the bed sides and rockers lol. But sure np. Im having great luck with my $800 truck. See unlike you i can weld . I can fix rust easy.. body work and rebuilding a vehicle is easy to me Id rather spend $800 than $6000 with one that still has rust. Or $13000 for one that has no rust. You see for $4-6000. Most classics will have some form of rust somewhere. Esoecially in typical spots they have em in. Like for the J10/J20. The bedsides rust out eveb in california. Its just how they are. I spent only $600 in steel welding wire and paint and other supplies And a new bed floor from a donor, to fix this trucks EXTENSIVE rust. It was bad.. bed collapsed on the frame and everything. Only took me 3 months to fix too. I saved thousands of dollars. And unless i told someone or showed them. No one would ever know the repairs i did. The drivetrain is great and ive used this truck a ton on my 14 acres. Now all i gatta do is fix the bed sides and repaint. Easy peezy. Thats the beauty of owning classic cars. I like fixing them and rebuilding them. It would be boring to me if i owned one in mint shape.

To answer your question about two-tone; most factory two-tone paint jobs had either tape stripes or some form of trim over the transition 😊
Hey thanks. Thats what i was wondering. So that tripe on the two tone paint is to hide that tranition then. Thanks

Hes done this to me before when i made a comment abiut engines catching on fire. When gasoline gets all over the intake manifold and combusts. I had it happen and it caught wires rubber and plastic on fire and if i didnt hose it off i woulda lost my Jeep. But he fired back saying it isnt possible. Made a video talking about how stupid i am.. ge set his manifold on fire and it burned out. But his vehicle had no wiring. No vacuum tubing. Nothing to contiue the fire its two diff scenarios.
I at the time didnt have a channle like i do now so i couldnt respond back. But now i have a decent channle and i can respond in kind. But the only reason i would get negative comments like i have is because he has a cult following. Much like any republican or democrat does.. where people follow them simply because.
I also do not delete comments. He does. When i asked him to watch this video as i an dead serious on the bet. He deleted my comments but not before he AGREED with me that it woyldnt sell for 7k because it isnt worth 7k. Only its parts are.
Which is hilarious that he changed tone and agreed. Tbh i want my $500. lol.. joking
@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 the most important thing for yourself is don't let him rent space in your head or determine the direction of your channel. You are right about his "followers", they will defend most anything he says. None of that matters for you or your channel though. Personally I wish I had the time to follow him and actually catch him with a car he built at the drag strip so I could show up and embarrass him. None of that is relative to me improving my income or enjoyment of laugh though so he can do whatever he wants , I could care less. You also surely realize he is far from being the only channel operator to piss off people LOL.
@@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195 true lol. Hes stuck in the past his bottle rocket car is a cool build. But its not that fast.. not like ppl make it out to be. My stock 98 grand cherokee 5.9 limited is faster lol. Old (muscle) cars of the oast are really really slow unless you invest a ton of money in building them.
As a Jeep guy i laughed so hard when he was calling his new XJs muscke cars. Because of how (fast) they are to him. Hes so used to old vehicles.. he hasnt a clue what newer stuff is like today .. and by new i mean 90s up. If an XJ cherokee with the 4.slow engine impresses him that much.. that tells you something right there.
I remember him driving one of his family members suv i forgot what it was just some basic modernish suv and he was impressed by ots braking power and other things. Its like he didnt leave 1973
Using Uncle Tony's name brought you more views, Was it worth it?
@@okiedean1112 did it ? 3 videos back i had one with 6000k views. This only has 1k. Ive had tons of videos with 6-10-20k even 80k views and he wasnt mentioned at all. But nice try. This video is about average for my channle in views. No its a response to his name calling
No one will buy for seven grand for parts.... because they want it for 3 grand and it takes a lot of work to part one out. You could get damn near 1500 just for the axles. Then there's motor and trans maybe 1500 if they're good. And you haven't even touched the body or interior yet. Think of all the parts that aren't reproduced.
It's definitely not a quick flip but if you hang in there, you easily have 10 k .
Your gonna get lit up in the comments. You ought notta done that. But I'll bet this will be your highest viewed video because you called out dear old uncle Tony.
If that's how you gotta get views, then that's kinda cheating.
@@jasonwakeman3821 what you said is exactly my point i was trying to make to Tony. Buy it for 3k.. strip it for 7k. But Tony. On a live stream called me an idiot saying any classic will sell for imwhat its parts are worth. That right there mean itll sell for 7k. Do you get what im saying here ? He wasnt right on that. Why cant anyone understand this...
(Itll sell for what its parts are worth, youre an idiot) is exactly what he said to me. Hes the idiot because no car will sell for part value. Itll sell for what the vehicle is worth. Then someone will strip it make a profit. That was all i said. And thats exactly what you said..
Sooo what you said is exactly the loint i was trying to make. So yes ill make a video calling his dumbass out. I dont need views i get thousands of views on my shorts and other videos. I wanted to make a point.
And you actually proved my point by saying exactly what i was trying to tell him. The reason i made this video is because he made a video talking about his barracudas trunk shock being worth $150 trying to make his point talking about me yet again.
Hes done this before when it came an engine fire video. He poured gas on his barebones engine and lit it on fire and it fizzled out. He made that video to try to mock my comment i made about engine fires. Take note he did this on his barebones engine. Ive had engine fires from testing intake manifold vacuum leaks. And it didnt fizzle out it spread and caught the wiring and rubber and plastic around it on fire and it woulda burned my car down. But he had to prove his point under totally diff circumstances.
Im sick of him doing that. He does it for lots of people. He does it for views, Makes videos thr next day talkin crap about someone. Its extremely easy to make a video talk for 5 minutes about someones 2 sentence comment.. and they have no way to actually convey their point out. Its a one way wall with him. Tony has critisism issues. And hes always right.. always. Lol.
But i have my own channle so i can actually fire back at him. And thats exactly what im doing. And i doubt itll be my highest viewd video i have some nearing 100k views
To be completely fair I am drunk and I rewatched your video and I did get it twisted. I did make your point.
But....... did you see the video where he sold his dart swinger for cheap?
Because he also made your point in that video.
Also I don't believe without proof that he called you an idiot. I do go through his comments because I don't have much of a life anymore since I'm physically disabled and I've not seen him be shitty with people who watch his channel, it's not good practice to demean you're viewers and there's about a thousand people rapid firing comments at him. Who's got time to for that? Maybe he did. But the replies are public and I don't hear anyone else saying things like this. Again maybe he did but that's a pretty bold claim against someone whom probably gets a lot of ignorant comments and a lot of know-it-alls considering his channel is about trying to keep this hobby and passion alive.
Don't part that jeep out, those are pretty cool and you don't see them very often 👍👍
This is not worth a video. I like the Jeep
@@timothykeith1367 i feel it was. Thats the 2nd time hes name called me abd made multiple videos after talking about me in the 3rd person. I had enough of that. Thank you for your comment
Whats the sense in argument about this stuff? For most people getting involved in old vehicles; buying, restoring, repairing and selling......its a losing proposition. I can't afford to lose money. I can't afford to waste money. It's all I can do to keep my fleet of daily drivers on the road. Guys like Uncle Tony are the 1%ers. Working on old stuff is his life's work. He has the accumulated knowledge and the tools, spare parts and the work space and connections in the industry. He can get involved in projects and not totally lose his shirt. No disrespect intended but I'd take his word about the value of things over yours.
Youre not understanding this. On a live stresm in front of 300 people. All i had was 150 words to make my point i said no vehicle sells for the sum of its parts. He called me an idiot in front of everyone saying he got this amazing deal on his cuda because he paid 3500 for it and its parts alone are worth more.
No.. he got a average deal.. he got a what the car is worth deal. No one sells or will buy a vehicle for $7000 because it has $7000 in parts on it. That was my point. They will buy it for 3k. Strip and sell the parts.
But he actually made it a point for 15-20 min on his live stream continuisly saying that his cuda could sell for wayyyyy more due its parts value. Hes the idiot Not me, he also has critisism issues. He cant take any lick from anyone because hes always right.
On this subject hes wrong.
If you wanna believe him over this go for it. But im seriously hoping you can understand this whole subject after i explained what happened.
After his little rant he had people in chat saying their unsubbing and even his wife called him out over the name calling.
Hell his wife cringed on the video where he showed off his cuda where he bought it because she knows he overpaid. But he was trying to make a point about part value.
No one was talkin part value, but vehicle value at a sale. Get it ????
According to his logic EVERY vehicle is an amazing deal because they will always sell for more if you take months stripping and selling the parts.. lol
I would never buy a rust bucket unless I needed the parts for a project. Most of the time, my project only needs a few parts, it's not worth buying an entire rust bucket.
Good luck with your rust buckets...
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 nothing is rusty on my truck anymore besides the bed sides and rockers lol. But sure np. Im having great luck with my $800 truck. See unlike you i can weld . I can fix rust easy.. body work and rebuilding a vehicle is easy to me
Id rather spend $800 than $6000 with one that still has rust. Or $13000 for one that has no rust. You see for $4-6000. Most classics will have some form of rust somewhere. Esoecially in typical spots they have em in. Like for the J10/J20. The bedsides rust out eveb in california. Its just how they are.
I spent only $600 in steel welding wire and paint and other supplies And a new bed floor from a donor, to fix this trucks EXTENSIVE rust. It was bad.. bed collapsed on the frame and everything. Only took me 3 months to fix too.
I saved thousands of dollars. And unless i told someone or showed them. No one would ever know the repairs i did. The drivetrain is great and ive used this truck a ton on my 14 acres. Now all i gatta do is fix the bed sides and repaint. Easy peezy.
Thats the beauty of owning classic cars. I like fixing them and rebuilding them. It would be boring to me if i owned one in mint shape.
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 Congratulations on your rust bucket.
