- I recently decided I wanted to rescue an old squarebody out of the salvage yard so I got permission and walked around looking at all the old vehicles and as you know I am a sucker for a good squarebody c10! This ol girl just looked too pretty to be left for dead in the junk pile so I was determined to give her a fighting chance to live! I DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS IN FOR!!! Let me know what you think I should do with this truck!

Scrap yard picks these vehicles up with a fork lift, damaged the drive shaft. I would drop the pan and inspect the bottom end, after you try to turn it over by hand. It is a 305 but perfect to learn on!
That’s a good point! I’ll do that! Thanks!
Greetings from Norman bro! Sweet ride. Glad you’re giving her the love she deserves.
Thank ya!! Greetings!
Inside the truck on the Storm Colin does the Bodo Park to unhook it that rods you'll be able to unlock the screen room
There's a box under the storm column you can hook up rod you can start it and you and you can shift it
"I cant see a dent" big dent right in the door. "The dash is great" the whole tops cracked.
😂😂😂😂 I’m a “glass half full” kinda guy obviously haha
@@okspeedshop nothing wrong with that. If from maine so our definition of restorable means it only needs floor pans, rockers, cab corners, can mounts, fenders, rear wheel arches, every single brake and fuel line, and half the frame patched up, lol. But I believe in being honest and calling it like it is. When I sell vehicles i specifically list every thing wrong, that way when someone shows up, they can't go through a point put a dent or a Crack in the dash and then want money off.
tin foil works great to cover oil cap and carb when power washing
Good idea thanks!
If you gonna do this stuff, get you a good 12k winch and snatch blocks(multiple) and you can pull the devil out of hell with it. Bout 3 recovery’s and you have paid for it vs tow trucks. Also, standing that close to the cable with tension on it is a sure fire way to find out the definition of laceration
Awesome brother thank you for the comment! I did get a 12,000 pound winch, but what are snatch blocks?
I’m the younger fella that was part of pulling it out, boy what a job that one was. But I myself noticed the floor, pedals etc. I’d bet that’s an original 27k. It was cool to help.
Awesome dude thanks for being a part of rescuing this one!! You did a great job extracting her from the tomb haha. Stay tuned she’s about to get a transplant 350 with some upgrades, a 4/6 lowering kit and some wheels and tires!
@@okspeedshop very cool man. I’m subbing now. 🤘🏽
Hey Zac you wanna work on this thunderbird for Tim?
@@okspeedshop the maroon one?
@d-lowz-no9931 yes Tim said he was going to holler at you. It has no tranny, no starter, and no flywheel. I bought a carb kit for it but haven’t had time to mess with it. I’d like to get it out of my way. Holler at Tim if you’re interested in doing something on it
Drop the pan check the cylinder to see if there's any rust
I like how you’re not afraid to ruffle through the debris in the old vehicles. New follower..Looking forward to seeing some of the builds.
Thanks man!! It’s my favorite part haha glad you enjoy the channel! Hope to see you in the comments in future vids!
I have a 82 longbed and you are right there’s not a lot of love for them but I honestly don't care either way as long as its a squarebody! Looks like a fun build,im thinking about dropping mine i just dk if ill like it? Ill be putting a gen 6 454 next week and then all my neighbors will love me haha. Looking forward to seeing you build it. Have a great day!!
@@ronthewelder7305 duuuude that sounds sick!! I’m about to drop a 350 in this one and lower it when I get caught up on some other stuff. Keep me posted on yours!
@okspeedshop I sure will. I'm going to be just like you and send it solo. I'll need a swear jar I'm sure.
You are awesome brother 💪🔥😎 love the videos get them old girls goin again
Thank ya buddy I’m trying
@@okspeedshop 💪🥇🔥😎 yes sir
The silver box you had that was new is an external regulator. Older cars didn't have internal regulator like they do now. Back then the cars had seperate alternator and regulator. Just like older cars had ignition points and no electronic ignition.
Oh ok cool thanks!
Take the dust cover off in front of the transmission that will give you room to take the bolts out of the oil pan
I did not realize it was that easy until now haha
The dreaded cresent wrench. My nemisis lol
Junk 😂
If you got it to fix. Fix it looks like a pretty nice old truck definitely drop the oil pan and pull the valve covers and check it all out good one to learn from makes for good content and videos 👍🤞
Alright fine I’ll do it haha
That peace you found behind the seat is a voltage regulator
I agree, it doesn't look good. I think I would put old diesel in it, cheaper. In the oil filler thing and the cylinders. And check, like the other one, if it will in fact turn. Then I would assume that an oil pan and a new dipstick would be within the budget.
Great video, dude!
Cool thanks for the tips!!! I appreciate you watching and chiming in!
My 1980 with 305 doesn't have a single solid or undented body panel, but I still love it and drive it around like a weekend Cadillac, lol. If my truck were as straight and rust free as yours, I'd be dreaming up all kinds of improvements for it. You definitely have a truck worth putting money and effort into. 350 and a new driveshaft should get you well on your way!
That’s awesome that’s what these trucks are all about!! I can’t wait to drive it and make it look cool. Thanks for commenting!!
The most beautiful thing is getting old truck 🛻 out of there
Good 👍 job
Thanks so much! It was a chore and the work is just beginning but I’m having fun with her!
Bit of an oddball, I love it. Cruise control, gauges, A/C, dual tanks, looks to have an AM/FM radio but no tilt, no dome light, very little else. Like it was ordered for long distance comfort.
You’re right. A custom deluxe with some additions. She’s about to get a 350, wheels and tires, and a 4/6 drop 🤙🏼 stay tuned! Thanks for the comment!!
@@okspeedshop It's going to be a fun build, longbeds are underloved. My little sister has a 1973 Chevy Cheyenne C30 she is restoring, a 454 truck that she saved after it was abandoned. Teaching her what to look for in regards to parts, the differences between years has been fun for her.
@@jayb.5017 I’m a shortbed lover but dang this one has me liking the longeds. It’s just cool. That’s awesome about the 73 that’s a sweet truck!! I have a lot to learn still but I’m having a blast.
@@okspeedshop You got a couple of great projects to work with, for sure. Can't wait to see the progress you make on them! 👍
@@jayb.5017 thank ya buddy good luck with yours as well
Put 5 quarts of cheap oil on it, fired up see what it does doesn't matter if it leaks all them old engines have sludge in them I've had about 15 of them
Nice looking truck
Thanks needs a little love but I think she’s worth loving 😀
Wouldn’t hurt to drop the oil pan just to take a look at the bottom end. But I’m like you I’m not big on 5.0’s
Yeah I think I will just for kicks but looking like a 350 is in the future 😄
It is a voltage regulators
Wow the bolts on the parts starliner were probably easier to get off lol. You got some rust free stuff in Oklahoma. Wish it was the same here lol
Haha yeah there’s a few gems here. Where you located?

Thanks for another , Brother !
My pleasure thanks for the comments!
Always bring more tools than you think youll need
Lesson learned!!
Take oil pan off and see if it is locked up
First Of All You Need To Put A Wrench On The Crankshaft And See If It Is Locked Up, If Not Then Drop The Oilpan. Could Be Just A Busted Oilpan, If So Get Another One.
ok that sounds like a good part 2 video. just worried she threw a rod or something
I never seen a hubcap like that
Pull the oil pan and make sure its all crapped up. Did you even try turning the engine by hand yet to see if it was locked?
I wasn’t sure if it would hurt it since there’s no oil in it and what is in it is like flakes
@@okspeedshop you cant hurt it by taking the pan off. If you do swap to a 350 it will bolt right up to the trans in it.
@@unicronshole I meant by turning engine by hand. Yeah I’m thinking 350. Guy at scrapyard was cool and said he’d hook me up with one. Nice guy.
@@okspeedshop turning it alot would damage it being so dry, but a lil 1/8 turn to see if it even moves?
drive shaft is from them moving the truck with a forklift.....
It's time to remove that oil pan let's see what you got inside that young buck
I would say the rear brake drums were frozen and finally broke loose
Yes they were since sitting on rims in the mud for years 😂 problem took care of itself haha
just curious, i saw a clear container, i was wondering why it has a big hole and another that is hooked up to whatever it is etc
Hmm not sure, where did you see it? In the engine bay? The coolant and washer reservoirs were both in there and busted. Is that what you’re referring to?
@@okspeedshop thats probably it. it just bothered me when you take care of cars engines etc. all i know is they are needed etc
Take out the oil pan and take a look
Get a good used engine for it and drive shaft for 500 for both...don't budge on that price for engine and drive shaft...
Just about to drop one in this week so stay tuned!!
Yeah I would put a 350 in it its not that big of problem just take ur time it’ll work
I’m on it!
It is been lefted by the forklift that is why the drive shaft and the oil pan is broken
It happened with my truck
I would pull the pan off put a new pan on fill with oil and see if it will run
That is a survivor!!
Ain’t she purdy?? Just needs some love
I'd do a 383 stroker and then some .
What combo makes a 383?
Is the voltage regulator
My guess is whatever hit the driveline also hit the oil pan ? Grab onto the crank pulley and see if this motor spins before you buy anything else for it.
Ok I’ll give that a try! Thanks!
@@okspeedshop you bet, id hate to see you waste money on a motor that's toast. If it were me I'd pull the plugs, put some marvel mystery oil down the cylinders and let it soak then try to spin it over by hand. If she spins pull the pan and investigate why it looked the way it did it could have lost oil and spun a rod bearing (let's hope not) and ended up in the salvage yard.
Well I call them voltage regulators but I'm kinda just hoping it was a joke when you said you didn't know lol
😅😅😅😅 your boy is learning from the ground up haha
Haha to each there own! I run into some pretty common stuff on my channel too so it's all good
Burning down the shop because of a snake. That's hilarious 😂
😂😂 I don’t do snakes……
With only 27,000 miles on that motor Young Buck I think you ought to just take it out and recondition it put some new Flapjack head gaskets on it clean up that lower crank and then put some whooping to it With some high tech rocket fuel
if it was a 350 i would but i wasnt pumped about the 305 even if it was running haha
Take off the oil pan and look underneath them
It’s rough haha
I think that's a voltage regulator.
Howdy. Good content
Thank ya sir
Voltage regulater for mopar
Cool!
That oil pan!
She’s hurtin fer certain
I would fix it
@@BrandyMcgrogan-kh4rl I’m with your brother! Stick around I’m about to drop a 350 in it!
Voltage regulator
What voltage does it regulate? 😂
@@okspeedshop all of them. Only after they mount up
@@ClassicCarRevivals glad I kept it
Well if the engine is bad put a 350 in it
@@lawrencehastings2101 you bet!! Working on that now!!
Howdy
What’s up buddy
LS swap it.
Does he sale stuff
Yes he does. Can be high on a few things just gotta catch him right
@okspeedshop okay and do you have a number for him
350 swap it for sure😎👍
One on the way!!
Seems like to me that booger snot is 3,000 and outdated you cannot use that stuff in 2024 you need boogers snot 5,005 extra holding extreme weather condition boogers snot formula ! X.
😂😂😂 I have no clue what you mean but it was funny
I'd buy that truck if was cheap and build it
i think she definitely still has some potential! Just needs a better powerhouse
Id just put 5qts of oil in it and crank it. Its a 305 anyway so.
i think i may try it! will it crank with a spun rod? thinking that mightve been the prob...
@okspeedshop It should still spin. As long as it's not locked up.
@@junk496 ok I’ll try to move it this evening
I want that camaro
Dude there’s a few gems out there. Saw a chevelle, a road runner, Camaros, sheesh.
@@okspeedshop any forsalr
@@ironguy1916 yep he will sell them if it’s not too much work getting them out….fyi it’s pretty piled up out there so some things are impossible to get to.
LS3 swap it.
Send me one and I’ll drop it in 😂🤘🏻
Bracket down and fixed it and get running again.
I’m deciding whether to go all through it or to just pull it and replace with a 350.
Sorry, I’m late
Late again?? 😂😂😂
I was loading the cab over so I can get it home so we can start working on it
@@WhiskeyDents just messing with you by using your tagline haha can’t wait to see that episode. What the heck did you load it on?? A semi??
Just replace the oil pan.
But why does it have holes punched through it? Seems like maybe threw a rod?
Looks like blew rod if so u need another motor
yep thats what im thinkinhg...350 will be better anyway
Pull the oil pan
She’s trashed!! Holes on both sides of Pan. I just pulled motor. I’ll post a video
I u put 350
I think that’s what I’ll do!
I'd change motor
thats what im thinking.. scrapyard said they have a 350 i can get for it so thats good
350 or if can't get 350 put 400 small block or even a big block
@@ChadGottfried-u7u now that would be sick
Put a 350 in it
That’s what I’m thinking
Fix it
Would you sale it after you fix it?
Scrap yard damaged drive shaft
Ah maybe so! How bout that oil pan
@@okspeedshop probably thru a rod and they tried to patch it to make it home
@@ClassicCarRevivals scrapyard gonna hook me up with a 350 now 🤙🏼
Was the oil pan dented out? Kinda looked like it
@@ClassicCarRevivals no I don’t think so it looked like they tried to silicone it and put that paste on the seam at the gasket and all over the side. I’ll look closer later to see if so
I ain't nothing but a little old chicken snake leave that snake alone they will eat poisonous snakes they're bad about messing with your chickens and getting the eggs and killing young chickens
Sell it
She will be for sale, after I get her built 😄
Fix it
I’ll see if I can get it to run but looks like it’s thrown a rod. It has holes punch through the oil pan from the inside out 😬 then I’ll drop a 350 in! 🤘🏻
fix it
lets do it
