The 1949 Chevy I bought in July got the same treatment! After setting for 30 years, a quick tune-up and a little elbow grease has allowed me to put almost 1500 miles on this old truck!
Gotta love an old Stovebolt and they do ZAP! Been there and done that a number of times working on these old beasts, back in the day. Enjoying your videos and doing vicariously what I can't do in reality anymore. Thanks
I'm 73 and love the channel. Thx for the better mike. Ps why the 4 dislikes. ??... What's not to like? Your bringing it back to life from its grave.! Giving me an incentive to get my '37 D5 running this winter.
Love to see the torch at work. I can't believe it is possible to resurrect these vehicles that have been abandoned for so long.
Watching this took me back to when I resurrected my 58 Chevy Del Rey Yeoman station wagon with the 235 stovebolt six.
I bet you didn't think that the 6 volt system would bite like that lol!
Can't wait to see the end results of the rebuild! From the sound of it, it shouldn't take too much to get that mill back in perfect running order.
Was the 235 stovebolt six a forerunner to the Chevy Blueflame six, which in the 50,s was also used in Australia,s Holden,s known as the grey engine later model engines were red tough reliable no nonsense motors.
@@barryphillips7327 Yes, definitely the same engine family. I classify this generation, the next generation ( 250 c.i.d. and 292 c.i.d. truck)
along with the Chrysler slant six family as some of the most durable and dependable engines ever built. Almost indestructible, run forever if you don't abuse them, and they're actually quite receptive to performance modifications. A conversion to a modern port EFI system and the addition of a single turbo turns them into a viable, but yet thrifty performance engine.
Hurry up. Owned one just like it bout 30 years ago. Can't wait!
It is always interesting to watch you young guys doing a restoration on stuff we grew up with. I noticed your machine shop bored without pistons on hand, 101 no no, should have fitted the pistons when boring, having to file end gap of rings pretty rare if bored correctly. I used to make them bring me pistons and rings before boring, of course that is going on 50 years ago now
I loved the live stream of this! Love what you guys do.
Now that's a first for me. Serpentine belts as slings. Now that's using your thinker!
oven cleaner works awesome for cleaning years of gunk off of engines. thanks for keeping these beauties alive and on the road!
@Jeffrey Janzer Fantastic! thanks for the tip. i'll have to give it a try!
Removing those stubborn bolts like a superhero!
how come u know so much about automotive repairs , i can only presume dat u attend classess deligently so , u learned well , ur fun task stick guy , EXCELLENT JOB, GODBLESS!
That's a cool truck . Can't wait to see the rebuild on this engine . As soon as the babbit rods show up I am going to start assembling a 1940 straight 8 Buick . I might try and video some of it . It's hard to do during the work day .
This is too cool and funny for me!
Nice to see the engine running. That flames from the carb though...
Big thumbs-up to Devin and you guys. Cheers
Another way to pull the motor and transmission is to pull the top of the shift cover completely off and up & out . Plus side to these old trucks is a hand full of bolts is the front clip and cab dont take much time to pull off either .... Great video as always tho keep it up!!!
Watched the live video on this one a few months back. Was a good time.
Big hiya from Pennsylvania .GREAT VIDEO.
Thanks for sharing this ol' Classic Chevy. I remember some siblings, cousins and I riding in the back of one of my uncles P/U down a rutted dirt road. His might have been a 50 model though. Couldn't hardly breathe lol.
Great memories.
Again, thanks for sharing.
Stan
She sounded good , ENJOYED !!
Always enjoy your rebuilds. Great photography too!
Youv'e brought my saved late 70's Truckin' magazines to life! so enjoying this build, thanks for the uploads David 👍👍👍
Need more pickups!
Chevy is beautiful)
you got a like for that dance alone. LOL wish i could give you two.
Reminds me when I was rebuilding my 50 Chevy in 1959!
That's not a shock....jumpstarting a Chevrolet Monte Carlo with a RUNNING highway construction sign - THAT'S A SHOCK! Thanks for the memories though. :)
03:07 THAT made my day!
I would run that engine where it is. Also, please don't paint that truck!
Oh, and remember Jay Leno's saying - I take a $5,000 car, put $100,000 into it and wind up with a car that's worth $40,000.
Oh BS... YES you DO paint that truck, full resto. Make it new again.. None of the "Patina" nonsense.
It would be a shame to paint it. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get a finish like that?
👍👌👏
Can hardly wait to see more.
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Postscriptum: Great Mustie1 uses a spray bottle with a little hose on. That's even much safer.
With 292 comments I'm sure this has been said. When starting an old motor like you did. I use a French mustard squeeze bottle. I squeeze gas directly into the horn inside the carburetor. Sometimes called vent tube. It fills the bowl up. That way you can move your hand away from it and run it for several minutes. Works on 90% of the carbs
Once again, great content from you guys!
Caught my old 289 on fire pouring a little gas into the carb like you did after running out of gas (gas gauge wasn't working in the Mustang). Nice passersby helped put it out (mostly) and then the Santa Barbara fire dept rolled up to give the engine a good wash. Walked to Pep Boys and bought some new plug wires and was on my way in a short time.
That was a great video!! Exciting, humorous and interesting!! I really look forward to the next update!! Great work!!
I'd label the screws & everything else, but I hadn't thought about putting the screws back where they belong. Good Idea
You are doing a good job
Good to see it moving forward.
Down here in North Florida we call that a multi-purpose adjustable hot wrench.🤔🤗🤗
My favorite chevy truck
Awesome outstanding job have a great time
thanks
Always look forward to seeing these videos! Thanks
Looking forward to watching the progress on this. 🇨🇦😎👍
Nice job waiting for next video
Thanks for sharing with me.
Ready for the build now.
looking forward to the strip down & re-build,,,,,,, love the channel !!!!!!
Los felicito por sus vídeos son geniales, voy a estar ansioso esperando ver como reconstruyen ese motor, saludos amigos desde Argentina 💪💪
Hope the next update comes just in time..... can't wait 😇😇😇😇😇👻
Good work gentlemen
I want to see a full restore of the truck
Love the videos,keep it up boys!👍
One of these days, I may just have to traverse up to Michigan. If you might need parts, my neighbor Jim Carter will most likely have them.
I may be on class but I want to watch some hagerty
that is a real blue flame six. That is a nice truck. I would only convert to 12 volt and add 3 point seat belts. The rest would be stock.
His hands are divine‼️
In this application it's not a torch, it's a blue tipped wrench.
와~~우~~~👍👍👍 정말 대단하십니다~^^!! 정말 멋지네요~👍👍👍 좋은영상 너무 즐겁게 보았습니다~! 감사합니다~^^~~
She's alive!!!! SHE'S ALIVE!!!!! ALIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those of us who love cars and have been around a while who hasn’t shocked themselves or has had fire shooting out of the carburetor at least once! Ha!!!
If you haven't caught something on fire at least once you aren't working hard enough.
This is a cool project!
Мужик красавчик, руки золотые! Приятно смотреть!
My grandfather uses an 8 volt battery in his 29 Chevy. It has a 6 volt system, works good for him.
Heart palpatations & Singed eyebrows !!! You Go Guys !! Dirt Hawk Ya'll !!!!
I wanna do what Hagerty does
great job
Is that a 216 engine? Looks like one. Didn't have an oil pump. The main and rod bearings were lubed by dragging tabs on rod caps through the oil. Had nice little troughs in thee pan to hold the oil for the tabs. The engines were known as, "Splash and clatter".
Nice work gang
sounds like it would run good enough as is
Awesome vid
i had to replay 3:09 about 5 times! kept laughing my ass off lol
Very very Nice 👊🏼
I love this. So cool!
Awesome use of serpentine belts. Great idea!
I wish I had the same skills to rebuild those engines
Gotta love it...spittin' fire!
Goodness me I love this channel
Becarefull 👍 brother 🙏👍👌
Brazilian here!! Nice!!!✌✌
Very cool
Cimplismente sou fã do trabalho desse cara. Show
Exilent work
Ждал этот видос 👍
I'm in love...wrap it up I'll take it!
And all the bolts and nuts are standard 👍🏻
What are the plans for the six? Stock rebuild or are you planning on giving 'er some go fast goodies?
Thank God someone left the Air Cleaner on.
Are those serpentine belts really strong enough for lifting engines? It's not a way I've done it before.
Great show ,I owned about 10 of those trucks Bill Clinton went to Epstiens island 26 times. Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.
I would honestly pay a monthly subscription to this if the episodes were 2 hours long
I clicked on this, thought is was the Buick Fireball rebuild 😫😂
Easy-Off oven cleaner it will remove everything
@ Bleach White Tire cleaner is my go to for degreasing an old engine!! Found out how well it worked when I ran out of everything else and that was all that was left. Worked better than any of the brake cleaners or engine degreasers I had been using.
The monster heart beat 😈♥️
Back when trucks had good ornaments
was an nice job, i hope we must not so long wait for a update from your work.
I'm still waiting for the Buick nailhead to show up at my doorstep...
Lol, I hate it when that happens!!! Try getting hit with a jolt from an MSD box. YEEEEOOOWWWW
Random blurred portions of restoration pron throughout this video.
Крайне не плохо!
Guys, i m from Russia. Maybe I've got some mistakes in my speech l, but I'll try to explain what I think about your video.
I wish you luck boys. It's amazing to watch the restouration proses. Recently i fixed the engeen of my truck called ЗИЛ 157. I think chevy engeen is similar to it. Honestly, it was really difficult to fix it. I'll never do it again. But you made a lot of videos about different engeens. I bet it was difficult. You are really patient. I wish you luck! I'm looking forward to your next update.
Rusya Galeev Your English is very good! Is it hard to find parts for old Russian cars and trucks?
@@skn9895 original parts yes, if you mean those parts that were made in USSR, nowdays its way better to find a blue print and make it at factory or elsewhere
@@skn9895 i Don't think that it's really difficult, because ussr made hundred thousands of cars
Your English is good enough, don't be afraid! I'm not a US guy also but we are kind of united when turning wrenches on vehicles!
