The smoke was the truck's way of saying "Thank you for fixing me. Now, let me help YOU by getting rid of those skeeters you were talking about." lol I love these old Chevy trucks. My Dad had a 67 with the same setup but was Red with a White cab top. Talk about a work horse!! Myself, I had the 68 GMC 3/4 ton with the monstrous V6 and 4-on-floor(1st was a Granny EXTREME). Uprooted many stumps with that Granny Gear. Great for baling hay, too. Ease out in Granny and let it just idle. I'd then hop out and walk along tossing and stacking bales as it slowly crept across the field. Had an older Brother with a 76 JEEP J20 with a max load of firewood rounds and got stuck(yes, even in 4x4). Normally my Dad's 67 C10 would pull him out, but one time got stuck as well. That 68 GMC pulled BOTH out while still being chained together. Dad's 67 could really carry the mail where my 68 could haul the Post Office building. lol Totally geared different, but equal in performance in their own Class.
@@Ez_bo Oh well, I wish that you lived nearby. I would greatly enjoy helping you with your project. I have done a lot of mechanical restoration but not much cosmetic. I love all things mehanical. Good luck and have fun.
2 years ago I bought a rotted body 74 k10 for $500 out of some guys backyard. Every panel was rusted, the tires comepletely flat. Hadn't even been registered since 2009 let alone run. Hooked up a battery and a fuel can to the pump similar to this video. It started up without hesitation. I6 as well. These motors just want to run, it's amazing.
The thing that makes your videos more appealing to me, is that you seem to be a nice person, its just like fixing a car with a friend. A follower from Costa Rica 🇨🇷✌️
Been turning a wrench for 50 years plus and never thought to use a pop rivet as a way to block off a blown brake line. My best "hack" was always to fold it over and put a vise-grip on it till I got back to the shop.
Excellent, Jennings few more details could be a daily driver~ Love my old Chevy trucks, bought a 66 with a messed up impala engine in it, and rather than mess with the exhaust manifolds, ran with another 400 "rebuilt" from the junkyard, repainted and loved the three speed with the EL extra-low so a farmer could pull his plow~ anyways tortured that thing by putting three tons of roofing material onward the dump~ when we got back from three days of driving from CA to WI the main crank was loose and wobblin, sold it for 500, the exact same price I paid, but surely painted inside and out, seat was okay, and needed nothing~ but got 15 years out of that ole truck~ at oakland airport had the license plate stolen and 3 stereos were stolen during the night over the years~ will take manual shift over automatic any day of the week~.....a Heavy-duty clutch does nothing but cause leg cramps, and High capacity oil pumps are the source of your oil leaks~ am crippled now, but truly adore your spirit~
Friend in high school bought a 77 nova, which we begged and pleaded not to buy it but he did. Worst thing he ever did was take the 250 out and throw a 307 in it. Honestly the 250 seemed to have more balls lol
I’ve been binge watching your videos in no particular order. I’ve liked all of them but I have to leave a comment. I’m in my 40s and I’ve been on UA-cam for a minute, watching different videos, trying to figure out what I enjoy watching the most. Watching you get these things to fart smoke and breathe life, even if only for a little while… it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve seen on here. I’m assuming you’re not that old but you conduct yourself in a mannerism that appeals to older folks. I can show your videos to my grandson and not have to worry one bit. Thank you! Please keep the awesome content coming🤙🏻🇺🇸❤️🩹
Had one of those. Dropped a high performance 327 into it, headers, an oversize clutch, positive traction rear diff and had a blast until a "friend" wrecked it for me. I still dream about that truck thirty five years later.
Put a few miles on it, give the rings a chance for the rings to losen up and the smoke should go away. 41000 miles is not much for an old straight six, they are pretty much bullet proof!
My grandpa had one of these but it was a 350 4 speed 4x4 and I was supposed to have it handed down to me. Unfortunately when he died the vultures came in and took it. You know how it goes.
What a beautiful truck! You do awesome work and you is noted me to start on my own project. It’s a 1985 Pontiac Parisienne Safari wagon…love your style videos
Love these classics, three on the tree was what I learned on. Might need a valve seal or two. Hard to believe the pressure plate and clutch still worked after 30 years of sitting. Power brakes on this one was how much power you could put on the brake pedal. LOL
Bro, you’re an inspiration. I wouldn’t normally go out of my way to try and reach out to someone making videos, but hands down I was addicted to all your videos and killed my whole last week of work watching from the Diamond T to the Bavaria. You’re really doing something I enjoy, and I’m pretty sure I’ve learned a ton. Really makes me feel more confident wrenching around on my 250 in the 74 nova I got. Appreciate you brother
We have a 1970 C10 we found at a Memorial Day garage sale. Best $450 we ever spent! Have rebuilt the entire front end & rewired the alt. & reg. circuit as well as replaced the rubber fuel line with a metal one we made. The rubber line was running up across the butterfly exhaust manifolds!! Some people are dumb regarding gasoline fuel safety! Had another rebuild the 350 Turbo-Hydramatic transmission before he retired. Even hauling a 26 bales of 3-tie alfalfa at 50 to 55 mph the old truck attains 17.1 mpg at a steady 1,710 rpm. Amazingly slow engine speed from the factory. Must have real tall gears.Even came with the original warranty plate from Romania Chevrolet in Eugene, Oregon. We live in Dayton Or. Great to see your old C10 running again!
Support this channel! I have no clue how the UA-cam world works. But we gotta keep this legend funded and rolling. I am young but not educated enough in computers to understand UA-cam or internet. But for those of you that understand computers and internet, make this fella a millionaire and him and his family comfortable so we are able to keep the old school legends going see him continue to his awesome education to the world
These videos make me so thankful I live in a colder, drier climate. Old vehicles that sit here don't have anywhere near the rot, wildlife, and general nastiness to them that the ones in your neck of the woods seem to! Then again, we get to deal with road salt...
hey man do you have a email address if so let me know and if you still have the diamond t i would be interested in it and any 67-72 ford trucks if you have any.thanks - nick
Where do you live that these trucks are just parked under a tree? Around here those 67 thru 72 Chevy pickups are like gold. You are not going to find one just laying around.
Another good video man, love watching these. If anybody can come across a 69 step side I’d love to buy it, I grew up with my grandpa in one and I’d love to get one for me and my son to run around in and make memories, central Alabama
A vehicle should be driven once a week so that means your 1560 behind!!🤷♀️ The holes in the tailgate and bed help to get rid of the junk when you hit a bump !! No breaks in the back make it easier to do a burnout!! 🤪
Of course it will run every video your vehicles run. I love your channel. I’m glad I stumbled across it have a beautiful Sunday. It’s a beautiful, rainy Sunday here in the garden state where the flowers are dead in New Jersey. You have to pay to get out of the state but it’s free to come in. Go figure Democrats bleh
All that smoke. You do realize that three 18 year old girls at Harvard, from save the world mafia, just peed their pants in protest. I hope your happy. :) I am...
You should use Marval Mystery oil in your fuel. It works wonders for starting things. Had an old push mower that was always surging while it ran. Put some marvel in the fuel and the thing ran perfectly from there on out. It cleans the fuel system. I run it in all my stuff. Car and truck and tractors.
This model and year of truck, hell almost any truck this year will always work with a small tune. They will not make things quality like this anymore because they're crooks.
I'm just amazed when I watch "will it run" videos, and a bunch of people ask, "How do you find these?", or "Where can I find one?" Seriously? Where the hell do ya'all live, Manhattan?? Moscow? Everywhere I go, I find old cars and trucks. Everywhere. Here in Washington (the state, not the cesspool), ya can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. Get away from your keyboards and go drive around.
I owned one for several years and never had a problem with it. The worst day in the year. Mv1 carb loved the asmatic snail and I miss the baby . probably the points the bushing In the distributor was the weakest part.

Let's go Brandon!
really sweet to see that old truck running what a great ride
63-72 are the best looking trucks chevy ever made and that 250 or 292 will never die
Yep
Love the old six cyl. engines. Had a few in my older cars and lasted forever. Thx.

I love those old straight 6 motors. Fine looking old rig. I'm a Ford guy all the way but I would love to have that.
That’s a classic truck. I always liked the look of GMC trucks from that period. Very entertaining video. Good work!
Great job getting that old chevy running. I enjoy your videos. You are a great mechanic.
Dude, you are very mechanically gifted. I know this one wasn’t as difficult as some of your other will it run episodes, I just gotta say hats off!!!
This has become one of my favorite channels. So awesome seeing these old vehicles getting a second wind to move about.
Really wish we didnt forget how to make good looking trucks
Had one of those. Dropped a high performance 327 into it, headers, an oversize clutch, positive traction rear diff and had a blast until a "friend" wrecked it for me. I still dream about that truck thirty five years later.
Thats a $9,000 truck in my area in that shape at least
I owned a 70 c10 in high school, you’d stay drier in the rain than in that truck with all its deleted options .
She really cleaned up 😮
451,000 miles on my '69. Enough said! But I'm in CA (no snow) yet you got this back East - DAM!
I've got a 67 4x4. Love that truck.
I was looking forward to seeing you drive the 1929 gmc
Will soon hopefully been getting the wood done and rebuilt the carb
@@jenningsmotorsports7554 I would like to see
I like seeing old stuff being brought back to life....woof
Great fix and good testrun, can't beat those straight 6 engines.
These sixes are smooth and torque-y in the low end. Just carry spare oil with you on an old Chevy like this 🙂
Wow it cleaned up well.
nice old truck glad to see it running
Starter sounds like a grizzly bear waking up from hibernation 😂. Nice truck bud, she’s mint 👌🏻
Thank you for this video, gave me a starting point to figure out why my 1972 c10 won’t crank over. Mine was sitting for 22 years in a field too!
Put a few miles on it, give the rings a chance for the rings to losen up and the smoke should go away. 41000 miles is not much for an old straight six, they are pretty much bullet proof!
Valve seals need to be soften with oil! It will be ok! Run it LOL Will quit smoking!
Most likely 141k
@@twinkie27271 not likely if it was a farm truck
I love these old Chevy trucks 🛻
It’s a Chevy. I think we all know it’s going to run.
The ole girl cleaned up pretty nice. Great job getting it running and driving again!
YOu do an incredable job with these videos! Love seeing them!
I really love your nice old truck.
Awesome ..good work.very Nice.

Very cool truck! Perfect color.
Can’t wait to cruise around in my inline 6 Chevy! Those motors may not have a ton of power but at least they’re reliable.
Yes strong engines and by nature a inline six always runs smoother than a V8
I dunno. I always thought. They were pretty peppy for a six.

Don’t hold your breath.
I’d love him to pick an old one to restore once or twice a year
Too much work for a regular series
Man I like to see these old trucks getting worked on ik I'm only 15 but I sure do like them old trucks more than these new ones

I love this truck !!!
Thats a neat old truck and those 6 cyl are tough .
You Should totally restore it! That's the pickup like my sister has always wanted!
