Thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION to your subscribers
i know it must suck to live in the depression era and never get to buy anything new...but most channels just swap parts and you dont really learn anything from it,with your channel i actually get to see how stuff looks on the inside and how they work.
We like to re use everything
@@theetravisbas long as it’s not the oil. 😂
Other channels would tell me that I must swap in an LS and TH 700
@@theetravisbthis is why I keep coming back too. Learned so much in the past few months I’d never seen explained on any other channels or even tv shows. Found you searching 1960 paint/patina preservation as I purchased a 60 Comet in October and think I’ve seen just about every video of yours since. Keep up the great work and I’ll share more of my car in spring as I take it to cruise ins and fix little things along the way. 🤠
Time for new boots..... 😂
I love your enthusiasm and respect for those old original parts with the cast-in lettering, the old logos and instructions. Speaks from a time when quality and pride in local workmanship took precedence over globalism and mass-produced imitations.
Lost art of rebuilding parts versus replacing with aftermarket junk. Enjoy the videos of you and your dad keep em coming .
Nothing more satisfying to me than fresh brakes on an old rig like this. Transforms the ride quality & experience instantly. RIP Right Rear brake drum, 1948-2024. I can’t get enough of those tires man. Really can’t wait for this cold weather to move on
Yeah the right rear was being a problem. And yeah little cold here but nothing like the rest of the country
@theetravisb In the Upper Peninsula of Michigan we are going to be below zero tonight in most of the area. Precisely where I live in Escanaba, we are going to have a low around -1 😮😮😊
“Why’s the fluid red?? Oh! I’m bleeding” 😂😂😂 that cracked me up.
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩🍩☕️☕️👀😎👍. That you can still get rebuild kit is a 🤯🤯. Blower ! I am enjoying these videos !
I love the fact that your father is giving you all his knowledge, and you are taking it all in, can't afford to lose that kind of knowhow.
you and DAD keep bringing back memories from my youth crawling around in the dirt in south phoenix. thanks
I love that you actually take the time to clean up the parts working on 👍 instead of being lazy about it.
Mrs. B looks happy and healthy...good to see your Dad..you have been blessed Travis..
Yes no doubt
Thanks for letting me come along for the journey...
Wishing you, your family and the channel community all the very best for the coming year!
These videos remind me that things used to be done this way as I always did and still do if possible. This age of throw away everything just sucks to be brutally honest.
My bench grinder with wire wheel has done more work in the restoration of my vintage cars than any other tool!
Oh yeah use it all the time
Enjoy your old man. It's great the friendship that you two seem to have. They usually leave us way too soon. I sure miss mine
Thanks Dad for the head!!!
Thanks Rick for helping Travis with the head for the 230 engine
I have always had a soft place in my heart for the old 216/235 Chevy 6's. Thanks for taking us along on the ride of saving this beautiful old piece of history. Love them old pickups.
Make me happy to see you working Witn your dad
Nicely done on the brakes, and with a minimum of blood. I like the herringbone coveralls you wore towards the end. My dad always wore them when doing cold weather projects.
Yes good eye that’s a real J.C. Penney vintage mechanic cover all.
@@theetravisbI have a hard time with overalls. With my arm measurements they always end up binding my arms up and will end up.ripping them. 😊
I mean... technically a nail would work....a split pin would be preferred....but as a stop gap measure 😂
I love how your Dad is, he just loves to get involved 🫶
Really enjoying the build living just north of Dayton Ohio it's pretty cool to see that master cylinder from the old
Moraine plant keep up the good work
You've got one of the best channels on UA-cam. I love that you actually take the time to do things right. You don't cut corners or half ass anything. Like almost every other mechanical channel. That's always cheating out and coming up with any excuses they can find not to do things right. Thank you.
Watching you now for a few months, I like how you try to rebuild everything, I love the old truck. Can’t wait to see how the old 235 comes out and is running. Thanks for the great videos.
Yes still plugging away on the engine. Takes a few months to do it right
I was looking for a video to watch with my lunch and this pops up. Perfect !
Heck yeah
Amazing how everything wasn't froze plum up, good job !
Thanks for the parts Dad! Nice buc-ee's stocking cap!
I’m a fan. Watched all the International videos and glad to see you working an Advance Design Chevy. That master cylinder was made down the street from where I live! Cheers!
I’m putting out a single video of the whole international build soon. And that’s awesome the master was made right down the street from you
I love your videos, I have done most of the work that I you do. I am still doing some, but many guys today don’t know anything about rebuilding parts. Like generators replacing brushes, carburetor rebuild, wheel cylinders and master cylinders. Everybody just replace parts. I am a retired 72 year old mechanic, who just love what you do. THANKS!!!
Appreciate that glad you enjoy
I know every 20 minute job is one broken bolt from becoming a 2day job so I really appreciate what you do
That’s the truth
Your videos are getting greater by the week. Cant wait to see the ones on you rebuilding the 235. That was my first foray into doing anything major mechanical by myself. I pulled it out of a wrecked 1.5 ton truck in a junk yard and overhauled it in our barn over the winter and we put it in my worn out 50 chevy torpedo back using rope snatchblocks because we didnt know any better. We tell everyone we know who likes old cars to find your channel. Bill
Wow that’s a cool story. Different times. Glad you like us and share our work.
Do a lot of people in Az freeze up their engines and water pumps on their vehicles because of not putting antifreeze in?@@theetravisb
Your father and yourself do great work. The vibes that you both put off are very positive. I appreciate you are being yourselves and not putting on a fake show. As always wish this channel the best and many more subscribers to come.
Yeah we just like to be ourselves
Always a weekend treat with a Travis upload!! So satisfying to see something this old get some much needed TLC...
You are this and many other vehicles savior! 😄🥺
Dave's world of fun stuff is a guitar tech channel out of Canada, and Dave is a funny guy. He held up a can of nitrocellulose lacquer, pointed to the skull and crossbones on the label, and said :
"Here, look at this. when you see this right here, you know that pirates use this stuff. that's how you know it's good shit"
Exactly
18:22, an old mechanic told me when installing new brake shoes, think "biggest in back".
Greetings Travis, I really enjoy your content. You and your father seem to have an easy going natural about yourselves and it is a pleasure to watch you both. I wish you continued success in your automotive endeavors.
Thank you
Great to see this come together - and thanks to your dad for that part
I figured why I like these videos. My Dad and Brothers worked on old cars and you remind me of that.Anybody can do a video of will it start but you go way beyond that. I never care how long the videos are. Just keep them coming. And if you didn't have a beard, you would remind me of Buddy Holly.
This channel is discover of the year for me, i can watch it all day long. Great work and awesome father. All best for you!
Thank you means alot 🤙🏻
Hi Travis,
Really enjoy watching your projects glad to see you and your dad working well together.
I laughed when you started talking doing one wheel from start to finish without getting up. I thought you were going to say to do the whole wheel without having to get up and look at another wheel so you knew how it would all go back together.
Nice job! Look forward to the engine video!
👍👍👍
Everyone does brakes on u tube,but you explain it good😊Like to see a full rebuild on this truck it deserves it.Had a five window.
Enjoying this build very much!
Glad to see this truck get some love. Great video, Travis.
Normally on all the metal to metal contact points on the shoes ,backplate to shoes etc anti seize is used...well here in the UK anyway!
Hey man, not just absolutely hysterical but very true is the comment regarding chemicals that will do the job. Love the videos you and Dad are the best keep up the great work
Oh yeah if it works to well you stop seeing it at the stores
Excellent job rebuilding all the brake components, I love how you break it down taking the time cleaning all parts and putting all brake parts back to original with ultimate care, I'll be waiting for the engine rebuild and install, ty
That is a remarkably well preserved old truck. So glad you rescued it and are putting it back on the road. Looking good!
Hey Travis, I always thought your Dad was older than me (lol). You mentioned that he was born in “65 in one video (‘61 here). Great video. Love your Buc ee’s hat. Getting one built this year, up here in Dayton. Stay warm!!
Thanks bucees is the future
Thanks Travis. Thanks Dad (The good brakes, and these.) Seriously Travis, thank you guys for taking the time to explain what's going on as you work through this process. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the repairs. 🤲🙏
Just trying to keep people in the loop. Yes engine build video is in the works
Nice job Travis ,it’s not easy when everything is rusty but you got it done right… so times it take a lot longer than it should …nice work..
Great job Travis. Keep giving us the details regardind this build. I love your content. Entertaining and educational. I like hearing from your Dad too.
Awesome progress on the truck. Still can’t get over how lovely those white walls and stock wheels and hubcaps look.
Brilliant work Travis! 👍🏻
White walls are king 👑
"Filler" is still great content from you guys. Very informative
Hey man! Just subscribed, discovered your channel a few days ago, I love all the old cars and trucks you brought back from the dead.
Thanks man !
You did get caught at home with your mistress, but in the garage and she is much older than you, needs love and keeps you out of trouble (apart from some missing skin and having to get up for cotter pins and the like). Great video, thank you
Thanks Dad!
I am 67 years old. 50 years doing same thing. I now work at a body and paint shop. This is my 3rd 3100 in the last 2 months. I take parts off then when painted I reinstall.. lots of fun for a retired guy 😊
Great video brought back a lot of memories when I did my 55 chevy truck. That I still drive every day. God bless
Great video again sir! Can’t wait to see more of this truck! Maybe it even can do a little roadtrip in a video ! I Love the channel with the old vehicles that you bring back to life but also with all those 50s stuff you have. . I’m enjoying it allot!
I like the whole atmosphere of 50s stuff along with the big ticket items like vehicles. Old tools and old repair tricks.
From one Arizonan to another, keep up the good work Travis and Dad!
Thank you 🤙🏻
Kiaora (hello / hi ) from New Zealand. Been watching your video's for a while now and look forward to your weekly installments. You and your dad make good team, keeping vehicles from yesteryear on the road, keep up the good mahi ( work) .
Thanks for watching from New Zealand man that’s cool
You should buy some of the cheap oil dry or car litter and sprinkle it on your oil spots. Then with a smooth soled shoe grind it into the spots. Keep doing it and oil spots will disappear. You have nice concrete. Keep it looking nice
I love this truck so much! It’s awesome and has a great story ! Now please put an LS in it. !
Boooooo! Hissssss!! Inline six all the way! Do NOT ruin the story by doing the typical noob thing - installing an LS engine. 👎🏻

Hi Travis, awesome work! I learned again something new from you about car repair! You are a car mechanic, aren’t you? 😊
Love ur videos man love seeing someone still taking care of the forgotten ones
Here we go! Love this build
Hi Travis, Thank you for another wonderful video.
Hope you and your family have a great week.
God Bless 🙏
Good job on the brakes on the '48! My Dad showed me how to hone brake cylinders without a hone... back in the day, you would get a good straight stick (like a dowel) and split one end, then put a piece of folded emery cloth in the split so that each side was even with the other. A rubber band was used to hold the split together, and some penetrating oil or brake fluid was used as a lubricant. Put the dowel into a drill motor (which looked just like the one in the picture on the Lisle hone) and use it to hone out the cylinder in question! It seemed as though we never had the specialty tools that made these jobs easier, but with a little ingenuity, we got by...
What you're describing is known in the world of machining as a "Fly" or a "Sandfly". While they will remove built up crap inside a bore, they also won't really remove any appreciable material either so if you've got serious pitting or defects, you'll need to actually bore oversize & sleeve or use a real hone and move up to the next size. As for making a Fly, make them out of metal instead of wood. They'll last and last whereas the wood breaks down, especially if you get fluids on it. The bonus with metal is that they clean up in a snap and you can carefully tap on both sides of the split thus increasing the gripping power on the Emory cloth. You cannot do that with wood. The trick for most non-machinist folks is cutting the slit into the end of whatever metal shaft it is that you select for constructing the Fly. My best advice there is to grab some brass or aluminum rod instead of steel and use a very thin blade meant to cut metal in a hacksaw. Use a bench vise to hold the shaft while you carefully and methodically cut your slit. Bandsaws also can be your friend as can a drill press and a custom-made slitting disc. I've gone overboard and made a number of them using higher quality steel shafts from cast off screwdrivers, punches and awls... and an EDM machine. I probably own the highest quality, most precise Fly set on the planet... and have been laughed at for it too! Strangely, most co-workers wanted some of their own, even while laughing about it. Anyway, there are a handful of ways to get the job done, of course, but the best may be to ask a machinist friend to make one for you! 🤔👍🏻 Best wishes!

love the work you put in and the way you go thru the processes, I wish you the best and would love to see a video every week!
I have one of those old corded drills from my grandfather.
Excellent video Travis!!! Looking forward to the engine rebuild video!!!!
I am working on a 1948 Chevy 5 window heavy truck short wheel base I started with my dad when I was 38 he got sick and passed when I was forty.that old truck just sat around I am 60 now and me and the grandson he is 11 are going through it . Swapped out the 1962 full pressure motor for a original 235 from 1948 when got it running and got a working clutch and about to tackle the brakes
Once again, great job, step by step really helps us. Get yourself some real channel locks, a little bigger so you have some grip and leverage.
Looking forward to the engine rebuild video even though years ago I’ve been through that kind of thing. Going to be pulling a stuck 327 from my 64 C60 Chevy at some point and doing the same thing. Keep up the good work Travis.
Thanks for another glimpse into the rejuvenation of this piece of history.
I enjoy your projects. But also I like the fact that you’re working in Tucson. I lived there when I was a kid. Love the old vehicles!
Yes, can't wait for more on the 48.
very good use of the precision tool. The hammer. greetings from
argentina
Thanks dad 👍🏻🤗😂🇬🇧
He just wanted to say thanks for the great videos. You and your dad give great content. Your pal Jerry from GA
Built when
American made
Was the Best😮🤔
Looking great mate, looking forward to the engine rebuild!
Thank you to your father for helping you. I love working on older vehicles. It seems your father is passing on the knowledge to you. I wish I had such a great mentor around to pass on their experience. You are very lucky. Great content and I can’t wait for the next video on this truck.
Thanks Daddio😊
Great job Travis with the total brake job. Thanks for sharing the work on the 1948 Chevy Truck.
💯👍👊
Learning a lot from your videos and they are very good quality I can tell you put a lot of effort in to them and that’s appreciated.
Appreciate that 👍🏻👍🏻
Cant wait for the engine vid-keep it up gentlemen!
Спасибо за видео . Обязательно продолжайте . Автомобиль должен ЖИТЬ !!!!
Good content, looking forward to the engine rebuild & replacement.
Looks good that fluid sure was foamy 😂
You should try this cleaner called Awesome. It removes grime on impact!
Love your Buc-ees cap!
You make a great work in this beautiful truck ✌🏽
Geez it gets cold there, love the channel dude
Loving this truck build your doing man! There’s a 52 by a place I hunt I’ve been trying to track the owner down for. Giving me a little motivation to see if I can find them again. Keep it up
