Can we Build a Budget Daily Driver for Under $2500? ( C10 Revival )
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- I stumbled across this 1974 Chevrolet C10 Squarebody pickup while minding my own business on the internet. Claims to have a corvette motor, rebuilt transmission, and hydraulic dump bed but hasn't been on the road in over 10 years. Will it run and drive? sure ... technically we got it there... We need this truck to go to work as a daily driver asap. so lets see if we can revive this abandoned small block powered chevy c10 pickup truck and and get it to work here on our abandoned property. There is a lot do on a truck that has been sitting, brakes, tune up, carb rebuild, wiring checks...
also in the mix we might have snagged a bunch of spare parts, a car trailer with a winch, and a little homemade farm trailer to boot

Thanks for bringing us along, and putting it back on the road. Would like to see the fuel return repair for the boiling fuel.
And I preach this, but swap out those faded sealed beams. And not with garbage leds. I like the GS power h4 housing on Amazon. They are glass housing and they are fairly cheap compared to Hella or Holley RetroBrights. It’s amazing what a clean set of headlights do to any vehicle.
oh man breaking my heart on the sealed beams.. but i ll look into it.. I am going to do a specific video on that vapor lock issue cause i think it will help some folks. i drive these things daily and use the cheapest gas i can get, there are just a few little things that help out, especially with the lower boiling point
Power steering pumps like the Saginaw you have run on ATF by design. The clear power steering fluid you get at a parts store is inferior to good ATF. It foams more easily and contains fewer detergents.
Nice catch on the door. Way to get after it!
man it took me way too long to see it... but i swear it looked factory it was so consistent
Nice job Ryan, you better give Karl a call and teach home the new techniques 😂😂
New belts and a flush and you will be cruising 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video! Glad u dont spend a lotta time showing 1 fix like a lotta channels do. 2 things id address 1 get the fan half in the shroud 2 move the fuel line away from the exhaust. 👍👍👍👍
thanks man glad you enjoyed it... its interesting i had not noticed the fan but its obvious when you point it out...
and thank for sayin what you like about it, I am learning I am not much of a how to channel, I am a long winded idiot and you enjoy the journey or you don't, but if you are trying to learn something someone else has a way better video on it than i can make
I've really enjoyed these videos on this truck, don't know why just something about them. Don't worry, nothing wrong with the other posts there all great. Looking forward to the next one, whatever the content is. Oh by the way how you guys cope with the heat you get, wear ever you live is beyond me 😊 Rock on Tommy Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
hey man thanks. glad you dig it...and yea buddy it is HOT
Glad to see the square body back on the road!
yea man it wanted to run... its doing great so far
Nice truck Ryan You need to put the gas tank clean it out and Flush the motor and radiator
Lookin like your truck wanted ol blue to come home with it❤ and you do got blue square body parts so hmmm💁
doggo is happy to be with you doesnt matter what you are doing
number one pal
I love those Russell Speed Bleeders, I use them on every thing I can. I do run a piece of tubing off them down into a bottle to catch what bleeds out. Truck is looking good! (maybe spring for a couple more cans of white though… 😂)
hey man, one can was flat one was satin but who is counting... i have a clip on the editing room floor of me saying "i think my youtube buddy aj recommend these..." and it all went south from there ... not a damn one fit.. but brothers has them on sale
take a moment to be proud of yourself. sit with a beer and smile.
If you were my neighbor, I wouldn't need any crazy projects of my own. That camper would be off limits, though. That thing needs burning.
What can I say, Buddy?
She's a GEM ! ! !
ENJOY Your Channel !

27:13 outdoor boys intro 😂
we all share a lot of royalty free music here on the you-tubes, I ll check out that channel
Favourite time of tha week ❤
Ha. Thanks
Awesome episode !
thank you!
Brake bleeding by yourself should be pretty easy with a home made bleeder tool. Look up some old junkyard digs episodes in how to build one. Works pretty good.
i ll take a look i do like that channel, the proportioning valves on this generation of Gm vehicles can be a little bit finicky when bleeding so i would love a trick
The harbor freight mityvac tool is great for brake bleeding. Open bleeder, attach vacuum, apply vacuum, add fluid to the reservoir. Let the vacuum pull till you get clean fluid. Close bleeder. Move to the next wheel, repeat.
@@mwilliamshs I have had so so luck with mine.
@tcanthony2 one thing I've found helpful is applying Teflon (ptfe) pipe dope to bleeders. It helps them not suck air under vacuum and makes them very unlikely to ever seize. You also must use the vacuum jar inline. Brake fluid will wreck the pump's innards if you let it get to them.
From Tecumseh nebraska, I love your channel Bud
awesome would love to visit some day ... but thanks for taking the time to say that it is genuinely encouraging to hear people dig it
Quick and easy door fix jack and a 2×4 and jack that shit up
White walls. Totally an 80’s look.
$700 on brake parts! Rock auto/amazon are your friend here.
ha dude i love it
Woke up this morning everything was great.
...now my life seems meaningless with no hotdog hat.

not affiliated but how can you not support such brilliance
I feel whole once again.
I love it! Except the rack. Functional but fugly! Thanks for the video…
bubbas finest... no joke home built... so thats rad
Do you have your flip flop on
You are getting ready to hit another milestone at 10k for subs...
So stupid question why another truck?
that would be swell... good to hear from you again!
This one- all the things that make it uncool. the dump bed and rack...the v8 didnt hurt. i am doing a lot of work by myself at this new property i see this being over what i payed for it in help
@@betweenthesharksgarage I always watch you I just don't always comment. I live in dried out southern California so stuff like vine removal I have no experience with it but 1920s through 1970s cars and trucks your right up my alley lol I can also say I got a good amount of experience on reviving wore out homes but you haven't got to rhat stuff yet.
Anyways the chevy is definitely a good work truck and the plus side is they are red hot these days so if you decide to part with it you definitely won't get hurt and straightening the doors and dings out make the truck look pretty good.
Just an idea that would be a pretty cheap just in case thing, install a battery quick disconnect, not only can you pull the switch when the truck is sitting to keep it from draining the battery but in the event of an emergency you can quickly switch the battery cable to an off or disconnected position and not have to keep the battery cable loose
"More better", that is improper grammar. You should say: "less worse", me se thinks that's why the battery got offended
