Picasso Patina🙃
When people say our prices are high It always Reminds me of the story about the woman who approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said, “That will be $10,000.”
But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied.
“No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”
My thoughts on what Pete does at Iron City Garage.

Damn! That guy sure know's how to drive that little tractor thing.
The way Bill gets this old workhorse moving under its own power is a beautiful thing to watch. In this age of mass-produced, computer-controlled, luxury-rotted, plastic throw away "mommymobile" pickups that never carry anything heavier than the week's groceries, it is a true privilege to watch such a virtuoso of his craft transform a 66 year-old truck from scrap to running veteran of nearly seven decades work. I hope the next owner preserves the awesome patina on this old beast.

Some trucks have strong nostalgic appearance and appeal if you had passion of truck and loco steam engines during childhood days and today if you see such trucks working rather meticulously cared back to life ...that reverberates nostalgic moments of childhood and just amazes that how time passed and these engines emit same aroma of petrol ...and the sound. Amazing time capsules which makes you refreshed with zest of childhood days.
It's Mator from the Cars cartoon! LOL!!!
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. I wish you every day of your development. Have a happy day!
Beautiful truck
nice truck great video
Perfect for cruise
Приятный звук мотора.Класс.Молодец.
Wow amazing job . Would love to have one like this running 🥹🥹
Beautiful Video ^^
Those fleet spec GMC trucks came without bed steps from the factory.
Nice truck! I have a 1992 gmc truck 👍
Our oldest son has a 55 Chevy pickup this body style he's redoing ! He's redone the paint, six to v8 automatic, just ordered the anti sway bar 10 minutes ago for Christmas LOL ! He got it honest from dad & grandpaw ! 👍✌
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY ! 👍✌
Excelente trabajo, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Thank you.
I can't wait to see it all finished

Não precisa nem restaurar com esta patina ai ja fica linda de mais um salve do Brasil.
It's ALIVE!
Very cool, great vid!!! 👍👍
Thank you! ALL GAS NO BRAKES!
@@Ironcitygarage 🙂
Me encanto.
That truck is so solid, defensively not a NY salt truck
bonita troca cuando la tenga lista solo le pone brillo y le quedara unica
Linda camionete 😃😃😃😃👍
I like your channel
Great video and truck. Your guy sure likes to smoke with a open fuel source in engine compartment and no jack stands when under truck. Safety first guys, but loved seeing him get her running and driving again!
“OlD sKoOl” is how he prefers it great mechanic though
You can throw a lit cigarette in a puddle of gas and its not gonna do jack
New subscriber from the Uk, dude I would give my right arm for that truck
Don't do it man just pay the $12,500.
Bucket seat!
Stop at Mcdonalds and get Bill a happy meal. Dude be grumpy.
Going to give that old GMC a new life. I always was a GMC guy I owned two of them. I was wondering out of all those truck's why they chose that one?
GMC is the real truck division of General Motors ! 😊
i could really enjoy working there except winter then i would have to come back to southeast alabama
Winters can get pretty brutal up here that’s for sure
I'd work there year round for nuthin.
Sweet truck from when a truck was an actual truck and not a luxury vehicle.
seria muy bueno; una restauración completa, dejando esa reliquia, como cero km.
Yo la dejaré como esta original
Yo tengo la mía 1958 fleet option y la e dejado como la encontré pero con la opción qué ahorita la trigo en el trabajo de Rancho
Wd 40 boiled linseed oil thin with some mineral spirt oil wipe on lightly patina sauce
Put a tow backend and put two big teeth on the front and it's towmatoe. cool!!!
Just wanted to add that those bars he cut off the dash to the frame are a GMC option. Gmc 100 is a short bed. Gmc 150 is a long bed
First time on this channel. Just 1 question: Has the dude in the Iron City shirt EVER been to Galveston Texas? If so, thanks and it's been a long time since we spoke, so to speak.
We like long vidioes
🦅🇺🇸🏁😎
Hola vengo del TIK TOK aver el vídeo corazoncito para mi
I think I’ve seen one of these “fleet options “ before. Back then I thought the grill was something an owner put on.
That is everybody's reaction when they see these type of trucks I own a 1958 fleet option and I get that very frequently
I had a 66 Chevy long bed was all original solid cab and fenders just needed the floor in the bed redone it had 73'000 original miles they don't make them like that anymore
Супер !
If this is truly a 56 I should of had the small little strip on the hood I always was told that by my uncle my first truck was a 56 GMC with the granny 4 speed is looked just like this old truck but it had them small little strip s running down the hood and a 4 speed in floor had big 6 clyder motor was a serious pickup truck I wish thy still was making the basic truck s now
The hood could have been replaced, or it might have come from the factory to use up other model year parts. Rick from Classic Truck Rescue in Oregon has a 1958 GMC fleet option pickup with odd details like that. It has the same type of expanded metal grill, two headlights in fenders meant for quads, a delete plate to cover up the interior light space, and a Chevrolet "pizza slice" speedometer cluster that is badged "GMC." He believes that leftover parts went into these trucks which then got worked to death and scrapped early, leaving very few survivors. The asking price of this one as a complete runner with new brakes would support that conclusion.
Карбюратор регулируется на прогретом двигателе и после регулировки зажигания.
👀👀👍👍👍👍
The guy actually working on the truck should own a shop..
Why
I'm not an expert but wasn't that motor designed for regular fuel do you need to add a lead substitute to it
Junk yard motor don't care what it gets.

Ask others if they could do better time takes time
YOU WOULD THINK AFTER DOING THE SAME SET UPS ON THESE OLD BASIC CARS AND TRUCKS AS THAT'S A CONMAN PART OF YOUR EVERY DAY WORK YOU WOULD HAVE A DESIGNATED GAS CAN THE RIGHT SIZE ( SAY A HALF A GALLON OR ONE GAL. ) AND ITS A TIN GAS CAN / WITH A ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP SET UP WITH A SMALL 12 VOLT BATTERY PACK SAY A M/C BATTERY AND EXTRA LONG HOSES WITH A GAS FILTER FOR THE GAS LINES / ALL FIXED ON A BOARD SET UP / PROPER AND MADE ADJUSTABLE TO USE ON ANY MOTOR / YOU CAN SET THE RIG ON A FENDER OR EVEN ON THE FLOOR ALL SET TO GO / SO , NO LOOKING FOR A PLASTIC SODA BOTTLE TO CUT OPEN AND SPILL ALL OVER TRYING TO MAKE IT STAND UP RIGHT AND RUN OUT OF GAS JUST AS IT ALMOST STARTS / HOOKING UP A GAS FILTER AND FUEL PUMP AFTER LOOKING FOR THEM IT WOULD SAVE YOU A LOT OF B/S
I’m just the camera guy bills been doing it this way for years 😂. He knows what’s up keep it fun and interesting
@@Ironcitygarage DON'T GET ME WRONG I KNOW THE GUY KNOW HIS $ HIT BIG TIME HE IS A COMBINATION KIND OF GUY KNOWS ALL KINDS OF SHIT IN THE AUTO WORLD / I JUST SEE HIM BUSTING HIS ASS ALL THE TIME / I DIG THE HOLE CHANEL AND ALL YOU GUYS I AM A OLD F*CK THAT LIKES OLD $ HIT / I WAS HIM AT ONE TIME AND IT MAKES YOU OLD FAST IT HAPPENS OVER NIGHT / THANKS FOR THE FEED BACK / PS. YOUR A GOOD CAMERA GUY BY THE WAY YOU SHOW IT ALL / AND YOU LET US SEE WHAT IS GOING ON CLOSE UP THANKS FOR THAT / HANG IN THERE BECAUSE I THINK THE S.I.A.T.H.T.F.
Hi
What do you expect? Of course the vehicle is cobbled! And you just looked at the Engine!
Why don't you set the timeing
Where are you at located
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Eternals!!!!!!!
Check your points
Looks like the older guy does all the work kind of how things are in the world today lol
Can’t explain the chub these in lines give
The engines in the GMC are not the same as the chevy sixes. They are about 3 inches longer and are 228 -248- 270- or 302, The V8 engines where Pontiac engines. We sold a 55 GMC with the 287 Pontiac V8. We still have a 56 317 GMC/Pontiac V8 engine.
I did not know that.....
Yes I think your right I have 1958 GMC FLEET OPTION I found and it has the 270 grate work horse have had lots of fun with it can't belive its stell on the road people say with that motor
$12,500 wow what a sweet deal.
the way the cab and bed were swaying when he pulled it from that yard.. sorry “barn” I would say the frame is probably shot.
Not even close. When’s the last time you drug a truck sitting 50 years with flat tires? They all boogie like that.
Try to do videos around 20-30 mins, now vids are too long and too tiring. Awsome content.
Most video lengths really depend on what gets done to the truck. I’m walking a very thin line with what people want to see. I try my hardest right now to keep them under 45 mins. I’m still working on the best way to give a consistent final project. Even though I think they have been coming out pretty well and feeling complete it still needs a little more tweaking. Thank you for the feed back though always appreciated!
I'd rather watch a 50 minute video of something going from nothing to running and driving to 20 minutes of watching someone clean a vehicle that is exactly the same as it was when they got it except now it's clean. Unless you got some cleaning secrets, count me out. Great job
No problem asking $12500.
Any problem telling what you paid before expenses?
No...not really expecting an answer.
And if you did say I doubt anybody would believe it. And anybody giving that much I guarantee has more money than sense.
How much is that $200 truck? 👨🔧
we aren't playing with no RC cars here buddy;)
What's up
Seriously $12,500? Wow. I was thinking 4 or 5 k maybe. Guess I have been out of the loop too long. Lady quoted 10k yesterday for a cutlass parts car..
This car runs like a dream too just fired it up today on one turn! There's not a lot of cars that you can pull from a barn and get to run as nicely as this one does
@@Ironcitygarage Awesome truck!
I think its a sweet deal good job very rare find I have a 58 fleet option and people really don't now the difference between fleet option and regular 58 truck they are rare like I would say 58 registered in California maybe 100 if any with all original options
TO ALL YOU CHEAPOS. YOU ARE REALLY SHOWING HOW UNEDUCATED YOU ARE ABOUT VINTAGE VEHICLES. YOU FORGOT TO ADD SHIPPING COST, LABOR COST, PARTS, COSTS AND TIRES AND FINDING THE VEHICLES. I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS GUYS PRICES ARE EXTREMELY FAIR MARKET VALUE. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FAIR MARKET VALUE? I DIDN'T THINK SO. I'VE BEEN IN THE RESTORATION BIZ FOR OVER 20 YRS. SO, YES HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE.
Thank you someone who understand!
Absolutely well said finally someone that doesn't understand Vintage and old vehicles I have a 1958 GMC fleet option Which I have left all original from the day I bought it found it at a junkyard was almost going to be crushed I saved it I restored I restored it just a little bit for it to be functioning on the street now it's my farm truck I can't tell you how many compliments I have had and what people don't understand and people do understand what fleet option means there the rarity of a vehicle that could be only maybe less than 200 more than a 100 still left and registered That being said You would have to know what you're buying Maybe one day mine will be open to the right price
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)
Clickbait tittle says “Barn find” then shows him pulling the truck from a yard full of old trucks. The Ice scrapers are a giveaway this truck was deopped off for repairs and probably never picked up. Slowly parts were robbed off it for use in other trucks around the shop. Definitely not a legit barn find.
Well the truck did originally come out of an old barn seeming that we get most of our trucks from out west run out there and back for ever truck in this economy isn’t the move currently. Sorry if you felt like you weird lied too🙏🙏
Perfect content just poor video can't stay that long.
You can fast forward
NOT FOR THAT MUCH.
GOOD LUCK SELLING 😅
Trucks in this condition never stick around long!
in that condition?
yep, cause they in a junkyard. 😂
Thats a 6k truck
It would be more for a collector that likes rare Trucks I say
