FREE Chevy S10 Pickup Will It Run and Drive after many years? | Part 1

- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- A feller that's subscribed to the channel reached out to me and offered up his 1986 Chevrolet S10 Pickup for FREE. It's been sitting for 16 or 17 years on a farm, is completely rusty, and really rotten inside. Appears to be a 2.5L with a S101 4 speed manual. So of course I said yes. Let's get it over to the shop and see what we've got! Think I can get it running and driving again? What should we do with it?

If we had more DADS like Derek, this nation would be in far better shape!
I try. 99.9% of the time my boys r with me in the garage or im watch vgg or jyd and so on.
@@DodgemanSlease , GMTA! Both of my daughters are HOOKED on these vids! They both grew up in the garage with me and have the car bug as bad as I do.
@@morgangallowglass8668 mine are little yet. But so many great memories workin on cars. My oldest boy is 4. Has to b in the garage when i am. Feel free to check my channel out. I dont do old cars like derek but i do car work.
@@DodgemanSlease , it is about the time together, not the vintage of the cars. I am just too much of a caveman to wrap my brain around anything more modern than a 350 sbc and simple wiring. If want to discuss programming car brains, you want to chat with my grown kids as they make sport of me.
Adding your channel now!
@@morgangallowglass8668 im not a tech guy myself. Usually have to read manuals to figure this new stuff out or google it. My jeep is to electricronic for my taste. Prefer anything before 05 but mainly anything before '00
Growing up without a dad was rough. It always makes me smile to see a good one.
Big facts my guy.
Derek is stepping in as the dad who works on cars with his kids for all of us who didn't have dad's to show us how to work on cars
I just got yelled at for holding the flashlight in the wrong spot.
Right there with ya bud
Me too Zach
I love how he throws parts over his shoulder. Especially battery’s. 😂
"this reminds me of an algebra book - it never ends"
greatest line ever
Agreed.
You can tell a guy really loves his kids....wonderful family
Thanks, they're my world

"We're gonna have to do a wasp delete." I'm dying man!
My favorite part of the video!
When I first saw the wasp delete I honestly thought it was the greatest moment in cinematic history
"Gonna have to break out the big tonya harding" freaking classic
Those kids have a hell of a dad and mentor!
Thank you Daniel
I was thinking the same thing - those boys are going to turn out just fine!
I was thinking that he had TWO FIRST CLASS helpers! The best help a dad could ask for! 😄
@@ViceGripGarage only you can make a guy giggle ONCE or FIVE TIMES A HALF DAY🙅♂️🙅♂️👊☝️☝️👌💪
@@chrisbosley7095 I love how they are used to his personality and hold a straight face, then listen to him and do exactly what he says. His wife is similar but she breaks a smile/laugh occasionally.
Your MiniME makes me think back to ALL the times my dad worked on his cars and i watched and helped as a wee little kid. I never had kids and now that my fathers no longer with us, watching other fathers with their kids is interesting. It makes me think back to when I was that little boy running to grab the wrench. What I wouldn't give to be able to do that for my father one last time. Life's short tell your loved ones that you love them TODAY.
yep.....
Such a Great reflection Ralph. That’s why I lurk here.
Yep, my father used to work on his cars when I was a wee lad, too. They were mainly late 60's and early 70's cars back then he had owned throughout the 70's and early 80's. The '71 Fiat 124 he owned and drove for a few years was a regular father & son get together gathering spot when I was age from 4 to 7. Then he also had an oil burning '71 Chevy fullsize wagon (not sure if it had the 400 small block or 402 big block, but I distinctly remember that she had the fender tag designating 400), the plugs had to be cleaned monthly! Then it was on to a '73 Torino Squire wagon-she leaked coolant alot and I remember adding gallons, and gallons, and gallons of coolant to it over a period of 6 months or so. Dad never fixed the leak, as the car needed extra time before it'd start moving the car each morning and he figured the trans would die any day, but it never did. He instead lost his patience with it, and so it was parked in the yard until around 5 years later as I was working as a teen and replaced the waterpump in it myself, and then she was my ride while in high school! Ah, to relive those happy, happy days of yore!
Dad's been gone for years, but I remember hating having to help him in the garage, esp when friends came by asking if I could go play and he'd say no, I was busy. Always on the weekends too.
“Don’t breathe that in son” pulls shirt over mouth lol.
Can’t say enough positive things about you being the very best dad you are Derek. Thanks for putting your positivity out there for the whole world to witness. What an awesome human you are sir . May you always be an outstanding role to not just your family but to all of us as well. Thank you
These "will it run" videos are my absolute favorite!
Plenty more comin'
Oh I know cuz this is really the dream of every man on the planet to come across a classic that’s just sitting for god knows how long and seein if she can run

@@slo_s10 thats at 11:44. Shop safety. 11:41 for commentary.
Derek I just love how your kids help out like true professionals,
unlike some kids who get co-operated into someone's channel and have no idea what their doing!
So matey big THUMBS UP for the little fellas :)
The S-10 is the engineering equivalent of . “Yep. Good enough. “
The Fiero of trucks!
But throw a 5.7 or 3.8 in one and see what happens. But prolly not one from Minnesota.
S10 owner I can confirm
Back in 1990 I tossed the ol' 1.9L four banger out of my '82 S truck and dropped a 327 SBC in there.
I hurt a lot of folks feelings in the 1/4 mile.
Well, in 2001 I bought a brand new s10 to use as a commuter truck to keep the miles off my diesel. I put over 300k on that truck and it still ran good when I sold it in 2018. So I can say it was definitely good enough. Besides normal wear and tear items it never gave me problems. True story, in winter I put 400lbs of sand bags in the back over the rear axle and I was passing 4x4's in the snow without chains. Since new I always used Royale Purple synthetic oil and changed it about every 5000 miles. It was a great little truck. Oh, when I ordered the truck, I asked for an absolute base model. It was a 5 speed manual, no AC, AM/FM radio only, crank down windows, no electronics, etc. The dealership thought I was crazy. But, all I wanted was a commuter truck just for going to work and back. Something new but cheap. I paid $7000 for it, and ran it for 17 years......
“Do we have a battery charger left around here? I don’t think so” that was hilarious
Good Dad work Derek, saw this video and made me smile, I had an extended cab version of this truck with the GMC label on it, bought it at a yard sale for cheap, went through the usual , spark, fuel thing, ended up being a weak fuel pump and bad TBI. had the same 4-speed, Isuzu transmission, thanks for pointing out the different transmission types, mine also had the Isuzu gearbox. did the maintenance, oil, fluids, replaced the TBI, fuel pump and water pump, became my spare vehicle for hunting, fishing' , and going to the landfill once in a while, owned it for over 5 years before trading it for a bigger truck. Thanks for posting and sharing, seeing that Iron Duke engine back to life brought back some cool memories. Keep Wrenching'
Nice you got the little man helping you today, he will be the only young man of his generation to know anything about repairing his own vehicle good for you!
I just want to mention what a fantastic job you're doing with those boys. Fine job sir
Thank you Lucas
Saw your boy do a burnout in it last night!!😂😂 Loved seeing you pass the torch to him. Great dad🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What a great dad, what a great kid.
Good to see an old S10 brought back to life. Reminds me of my first pickup, 86 S10 Iron Duke 5-speed. Gosh, it was slow but it had the long bed so it could at least haul some stuff.
I special ordered my S10 Tahoe 4x4 from the factory in 1986. Still driving it.
Parts cost 75% less now than 30 years ago.
Really
@@melindaortiz9741 Yep. It's been a good truck.
I got my money's worth.
A guy seems to be spottin' a Corvair over yonder. Hopin' to see an episode on that girl sometime.
You took the words right off my keyboard....
I concur
Came here to say this...
Looks like a '61 700. It's been in a couple other videos so they'd had it a while.
I'd love to see the Corvair too ! My dad had 2 of them and a neighbor when I was older had the monza of it ! A repair shop owner in my town as a kid had a station wagon version too.
Derek, you have no idea how happy watching you working with your kids makes me, As someone who grew up with a father that helped me rebuild my little john deer tractor when i was 3, it means so much to me being able to watch another father do the same thing that mine did for me, thank you for raising your kids with a mechanical mindset, it'll sure come in handy!
Derek’s son is lucky because he is getting the good ol American vocabulary. English Teachers at school couldn’t even get close to what good of a job Derek is doing.
as my dad taught me can't be stuck if its liquid, but then again he was a master with the torch.
just love how you involve your boy, if children were able to get there hands on the tools and dad wasnt worried about his perfect paintjob the kids will hang out with dad and get that little extra bonding that they need these days. its almost unseen these days a father not screaming at his kids , you work well and i can see a special calmness in your boys eyes im done great job Feller
Well said man. Right on about the dynamic betwixt them.
Thank you Ron
Ron , your one of the reasons a feller reads through the comments, thank you sir!
That impact about flipped the son. This is what the world needs kids being taught how to work.
Milwaukee fuel impact ftw, will literally rotate your kid because of the torque.
They have the best toys, did you see that little bike and car at the end?
Awesome Dads get awesome kids.
Yea im been working on cars and trucks sets I was like 8 or 9
Derek for president 2024.
Great dad. Teaching the boy how to work and how to be a good dad.

Derek living the dream many of us wish for, thanks to all the hard work he has put into getting where he is today, good things happen for GOOD people.
So glad you have your kids in there with you. They'll pick up information about cars without realizing they are actually learning.
Even after reading all of the other similar comments . . . I still have to add: your boys are blessed to have a pop that includes them in some of the processes!!!
I’m recently new to your channel Derek, but I love the family oriented parts. I’ve already learned a lot from your videos as well. Love the content!
Welcome aboard!
“Where can it be now!?” 😂😂 Derek never fails to make me laugh histerically. He’s so funny and hardly even tries to be. Really enjoy all the shenanigans.
It's nice to see a good Dad these days. I see it as our job to be better parents than we had for me that's not easy.
"One horsepower engaged" that kid will remember that for ever
Good times!
I had a good healthy belly laugh at that one too. Classic!!! ..
Between that and learning how to kill wasps He's good to go
Goodness gracious was that fun to watch your boy. He admires you Derek. I know you’re proud.
Taking you son to work with you will pay dividends for his future! My dad took me, learned so so much. Love my dad❤
His sound affects are on point
You are seriously the best auto channel on the UA-cam's and a guy aint kiddin ya!!!
Thank you Jonathan
The art of knowledge needs to be handed down, A light hearted look at an uneasy task . Your boys will thank you, when one day they can put their hand to any thing and make it happen . Derek you are doing a wonderful job.
"About ready for the SEMA Show." Lots of torque in the riding mower! Best channel on UA-cam, no question!
Damn you Derek! I was just about going to sleep! (10PM in Sweden) and you post a new video!
Gotta watch it RIGHT now..
Yay european Problems
Yepp, watching in Norway. Had to do that before bedtime
i hope a guy got to sleep by 11pm then..
Sounds like you did the "right" thing.
Yup. From Sweden too and the video ended 11:54. Now it's bed time so I can go out and sand some bondo again 😫
So good to see you creating memories with your boys. Those days are priceless.
You sir are AMAZING I LOVE how you have your kids around you , and include them in what you do....You will remember , and they also will remember these times fondly someday , as I and my kids often do...and they often remind me of things that we did together when they were young ( they are both in their late 30s) ..Keep up the great work , and you will have followers for life !!!!!
Thank you!
I agree with this comment derek you have a very soecial relationship with all your family derek you rock
Made me laugh when you just chucked the battery out!
I hate to tell you this Derek, but I think I saw your 10 year old joyriding this unit.
uh oh!
Whose got the keys??
😎
I don’t think it’s going to be the first time we’ll see him recycling some tires.
He ran the tires plumb off of it! Well...At least one of them.
I'm always looking for bees in under and on my projects. Now we have to worry about the Murder Hornets here in the Pacific North West! I like to use the weed burner to clear the area.🔥🔥🔥
"gonna have to do another wasp delete"
Okay...Immediately bust out laughing.
The best wasp delete is some WD40... (aka Wasp Delete 40) They start droppin' immediately....and you don't risk burning down your shop.
I lost it at: Sorry I burnt your house, dudes.
This guy when it comes to colorful use of the English language would give AvE a run for his money but do it clean which is kind of a lost art.
@@jimmycricket5366 But that doesn't make content! :P
So funny 😊👍
This is the most hilarious but educational thing I’ve watched in a long time! Please carry on mate, I’m recommending this channel to all car enthusiasts I know!
I had an 88 with 238,000 miles on her before I sold her. Original clutch. 2.5L 4 banger. Everyone asked if it was a 6cyl because of hot fast she was... Man I loved that truck.
Love seeing your boys involved in some of your projects. You're a good dad teaching the boys early.
Thanks Chuck
It’s awesome seeing ya getting the kiddo involved. Makes me want one.
Automobiles 🚘 and lawn mowers are excellent ways to bond with the younger one's, you should be proud of those kids earning their own keep! From, Always Sincere, JD
im a kid, my grandpa has this black s10 that looks like that and i want to pull it out now and restore it when im older, i love that truck
Love how your boy doesn’t react at all to your humor lol
I didn't listen to my parents until at least 15
He's immune to it by now haha
I love seeing your boys in the shop with you. Reminds me of the times I helped my dad work on old cars.
I had an 85 with a long bed. Automatic transmission blew up 120k miles or so. Had it rebuilt for $750 dollars. It ran when I gave it away. It was a good truck. Hauled more weight than I thought possible. It was awful in wet rainy conditions. Had the 2.5 liter too. It was a very reliable engine.
I had a 1986 S-10 it was blue like that. Little 4 cylinder it had was blown so I went to the junk yard because the rearend was locked up, told the trans slipped so bad it ran in the red line and blown the motor from that. So got a 4 link 9” ford, 6 speed manual and start a 350ci SBC build that ended up at 383ci SBC. I had two double pumpers and it was stupid fast. Miss my old truck it was my first. Got it at 13 years old and built it up. Learned welding, wiring, how to do almost all of it. The next owner almost killed himself in it but the roll cage saved him motor and trans were ripped apart truck was almost all crushed up very sad but he lived so I guess my teenage self did good all in all. Looking forward to watching another ‘86 build
Really like how the young fellas are in there helping and not just to hold the "light" like i did when I was a kid lol
Love to see them young boys at work, you cant learn this shtuff on Xbox.
Most dads can’t teach this now.
@@michaelharris3296 Yeah I can only get myself in trouble under the hood, I can fix anything around the house though and I do make my boys pay attention.
amen
I can't believe how those boys of yours are growing........bet they're eating you out of house and home. I get a kick out of the little farts......you are in the best years of your life....Enjoy them! We had 4 and now their all grown up and living their own lives and quite far away.
MAN!!! watching this video made me courageous enough to go get my s-10 and drive it home,. have been driving it now for 7 months,. few little things I've done to it., but it keeps going,. and I'm loving it and I keep watching you drag stuff out of places and making them into nice rides,. keep up the grate channel,,. ✌
Last time a guy was this early, he had to apologize!

Boy am I glad you got the 2.5 instead of the 2.2. The difference is astounding. I had a 2,2 and it barely puule the truck, let alone any load or climbing a hill. It sold it to a freind, he isn't speaking to me now.
Then I bought a Colorado with the 2.5 and it runs like a large six. Good little mill for small truck!
I love seeing the little guys earning their keep! Best dad ever💯%. Bless you & yours bro👌🏾😎

@@3point1415926536 something tells me that it's a common occurence to have hazardous materials casually laying around in Derek's garage
A quick way to clean up those brake drums is cut you a plywood circle (5/8) you can put bolts in, in the lug pattern. Then center a hole in the middle. Mount it on a drill (strapped down with ratchet straps) put a bolt and nut through the center and mount it in the chuck. Zip tie the trigger and hit the inside with a wire brush.
My 78' sleekcraft rebel jet boat sat for 25 yrs and after a battery, carb rebuild and an electrical gremlin the 454 fired up as easily as the s-10 did.... Always nice to have one go easy for a change...
I love how the underlings have no reaction whatsoever to dad's jokes & antics. They just give the old man that blank stare that says: ' You done yet? Can we get back to it?' LOL
You can tell they really love hangin' with the ol' man, but they are completely unaffected by the Vice Grip schtick.
Fast forward 10 years when dad gets home and tells them his bought them their first car they will so happy , not stay safe cheers
Um, Corvair? Yes yes on the Corvair please.

I learned to drive on a 1985 GMC S15 that was very similar to this S10. Great little truck. Glad you got this one back on the road.
Brought back some memories seeing this one. Learned how to drive on a gray 85 manual S10 before it got lemoned. Have to ask Dad exactly what went on it. Thanks for all your great content!

Very handy that you installed a multi connector battree in the old girl. Don’t forget to install one of those fancy Kraco decks with amp, which will mount right up to the top post for power.
I was afraid you would do a Spider delete in the gasoline tank the same way you deleted the wasps in the hood, with fire!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My other observation. In a world where so many parents are excessively over protective your kids get involved. I'm betting you do lay down strict safety grounds rule. That's a good thing. They learn safe work habits at an early age. Kudos 👍👍👍
My grandpa had a 1982 S-10 yellow pickup w a long box, LOVED that thing. he was my hero and my dad had his truck for years then got rid of it without asking me if i wanted it. bummer. so do more S-10'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when you release the burn out video first it's a give away that it runs!!!! LOL
Shhhhhh!!🤣

Bingo. Killer burnout tho

Around a year ago I bought an ‘86 s10 2.5 4speed 2wd also. Pretty much identical except mines black. This thing had no compression, timing was all jacked up and leaked coolant into the floorboard. After messing with it for two days we got it running. It had been resurrected lol. Now Iv been daily driving it for a year without many issues. Absolutely love it!!
