Great advice

“This is done very nicely, cause I did that.” lol that was awesome

Most would never pay what I did for my trucks, but they were southern state vehicles and 90% rust free, that's worth a lot.

Thanks, pick mine up this Sunday. ;)

i have a few rust free truck just waiting to get built from 65 to 79. i was going to build a square body but got one for free with under 35,000 miles on it in perfect condition just needed the carb cleaned and a new fuel pump to drive even the heat riser works good its a 79 cheyenne full option short box 4x4 then i been building a 68 chevy with a stroke 454 with a 02xx trans and a 70 high boy with 390 dana 60/80 lockers ranger with tool box on side really good condition got it for 250 bucks the 68 i have 2000 in it full chrome trim with full factory gauges with tach in dash stock power steering and power breaks factory and a new tail gate full movement electric heated leather seats. have the running gear all rebuilt and painted same with the rest but final paint and finish the interior. then i have a few classic cars

Does a 6ft6 European will fit in a single cab? Without folding my legs or getting pain in my neck...

Thank you for the good advice I get from you every time you come out with a new video.

In retrospect Dave I needed you about 38 years ago when I bought my 61 Apache and had all these grand aspirations for it??!! Lol!! Good info and good vid!!!

Excellent video, thanks for sharing!

Where can I buy a old school truck

17 years ago this week I had purchased my '68 C10 for a small price of $500.00. The guy who had it was going to part it out. It was a perfect running truck, and I couldn't see it being parted out. The body was in decent condition for the age. It had the large journal crank 327 with a Carter quadrajet 4bbl carb, front sway bar, TH400 trans, and HD rear leaf suspension with the 12 bolt axle. At the time I had no plans for it except to daily drive it. I've been offered a decent amount of money for it, but it's not for sale.

Great video !

Great as always

Again tons of great advice for the DIYer amd beginner. Look forward to All your tech vids

Nice information like you said I see so many people paying ridiculous prices for trucks and some find good deals

Lot of good information. You're right about the prices going up I used to buy those trucks for 400 to $1,000 any day of the week now the prices are getting out of hand.

Excellent nice advice about getting into a fresh start project but course it's a classic GM quality means less rust problems. I can relate to half patch panels things sometimes people use old it hide with body filler cheap well trick.

Good video. So happy I got mine a few years ago just before the prices started to get out of hand. One part I hate is when I repair the rust, I lose that awesome patina look. Now I just need to win a contest for help with an LS swap with A.C.

Awesome video and thanks for the advice! One question are 60-63 door shells remanufactured now last I was looking for set for my 63 c10 and all I could find were 64-66. Thanks

The 2 wd 3/4 ton long bed are hard to find

Its crazy how where you live has a huge impact on the value and prices on these trucks. I live and florida and most of these old trucks are rotted and full of bondo and are way overpriced but I know a guy in south florida who travels to alabama and buys mint condition squarebody chevys for dirt cheap and brings them back and parts them out and makes good money. He finds all the best deals in those backwoods places like rural alabama or rural Mississippi. The most amazing truck I seen that he found was a 78 silverado with 400sbc,factory wood floor fleet side bed, full gauges with tachometer, ac, and all moldings and trim accessories with orginal paint with absolutely zero rust and he got it for a insane deal.

I just took out my 63 stepside out of the weeds this week and getting ready for teardown.

I got a 64 3/4 ton longbed small window with a v8 and automatic. Original . Body and frame are in great condition the interior is so good ima leave it alone. Just have to get it to turn over. It even has an old aftermarket air conditioning system in tact. I would like to keep it original any advice on getting it running or rebuilding it . Thanks enjoy your videos. I am from Michigan living in Texas the past five years. I have never seen one this good. Without work being done to it

I’ve got the sister to that truck. Damn if the didn’t steal the headlight bezels!

I always thought the ‘62 Chevy truck grille was awful- they were adapting 4 headlight for 2, and it showed. Some bean counter at GM cut costs by going to single headlights, I’m presuming. GMC ran the handsome “dogbone” grille from 60-66 along with quad headlight.

That's a nice repair on that fender. Oh yeah, that's because you did that! Patch panels in fenders, rockers, floor pans, even cab corners are all things I've welded in before so doing it again on my current 65 C-20 wasn't a big deal. But I have a hole in the skin on top of my cab right next to the windshield in the corner and a few other places on the edge that I am going to have to tackle. I've had friends tell me to just use fiberglass and forget it. But if I was going to do that I may as well have left the rust alone and just clear coated the damn thing. And I may actually do that but it will be after I've killed the rust as best as I can so this truck can live to fight another 50 years. But I want to fix that roof and I want to repair it right but I don't really want to replace the entire top. So I'll just continue to hang out here and see if you're going to do any roof repair on this one.

So for a project car shell like this, where would you start? Might be obvious but I’m new to this stuff and I want a project truck so I’m researching and I’m assuming you start with the engine right?

What would be the cost of the truck in the video?

I bought a 67 in November 2020 for $800can

Nice job except for one thing.. You didn't mention anything about checking the vin number.. I made that mistake with a 72 GMC K20. I thought it was a K20, but turns out that someone put a 2x4 body on a 4x4 frame. So, anyone looking to buy an old vehicle need to look up vin number for the vehicle your looking at.. The vin will tell you a few things like the engine and type (K or C).

Good advice. As soon as I find something I check on what’s available for parts. Old trucks it’s easy to find repo parts from China 🇨🇳 . But try finding little stuff for cars from the 70’s. They do not make window felts for 4 door Chevy Malibu’s or the rear door seal for the same car. You SOL. ☹️

Is that a later model hood on that truck?

Find someone who owes u money. Do exchange work. Makes sure u get a title. Win the lottery. And last but not least watch this good video by BROTHERS.

ha! looked like the camera guy had shades on

Is paying 6,200 for a chevy c10 a good deal? Has minor rust , runs pretty good, 65,000 miles on it supposedly

👍 👊 😎 ✌

Very good advice. But, watch out for "barn finds". So many fakes out there.

if it runs, then i would daily drive it. enough said
