Brings back good memories Mustie. In 1980 I got a 1963 Chevy C-10 for 50 bucks with the engine and transmission in the bed. I got it for a teaching aid for my son to learn how to repair a vehicle. He learned how to rebuild everything on that truck. Brakes, Electrical harness, transmission engine starter alternator master cylender gas tank cleaning, body work you name it. He was 11 when I bought it and 15 when it was finished. It looked better than brand new. His first truck. LOL He still has it.

Mustie is an incredible mechanic who solves problems with logic. Anyone can look it up these days, but to have him share his path of rational thinking with us is invaluable. 😊

My great grandfather operated a campground and boat rental, in B.C. Canada. When I was a little turd, we'd spend summers there. One of the chores I did was to help my great g/d collect & haul the garbage, weekly or so, to the dump. Sometimes I'd get lucky & we'd see a couple of bears rummaging through the garbage. He'd stop & get me an Orange Crush on the way back. He had that exact truck! When you ran her through the gears all those memories came back to me. Thank you Mustie. 👍🏻

I love the car stories thrown in as he's working. Makes the videos have so much more of a personal touch. Like a bunch of guys wrenching on the weekend swapping life stories.

I remember the carbs taken apart on the kitchen table and how mom would get mad at us. One day, she just swept all of the parts I'd laid out into a paper sack and tossed it into the garage. Took me a week to get that back together. I've never forgiven her.

My father had one of these trucks when I was a kid. Used to ride in the back. Plywood on the rotted out bed. Great memories.

I used to have a 65 long box, 6 banger 3 on the tree ...... Ahhh memories.

This series warms a special place in my heart. I learned to drive on a '60s C-10... "Three on the Tree".

You continue to amaze me, Mustie. With patience and logic you show us the way to look at these problems. Thank you for your insightful way that you tackle each situation.

I like that old Chevrolet truck. Thank you for bringing it back to life! I watch your videos and try to absorb some of your knowledge. It just hasn't worked yet darnnit 😮

I really enjoy this no nonsense channel. I’ve always said, with some good tools and guts enough to try, you can accomplish just about anything.

VERY nice rig, and excellent job bringing her back to life. She is gonna be a fine runner and parts fetcher.

Gone in 30 minutes! My OCD was not liking the key-switch getting destroyed, yet you redeemed the situation and restored it. Awesome as usual!

In the mid ‘60’s, I bought a repo’d 63 Ford Galaxie. Pretty messed up and no keys. A locksmith told me how to get the lock out of a door, and said to bring it in. He found a number on the lock, put a key in some kind of punch, and handed me the key. It worked. The pinhole in the ignition switch was to get the lock cylinder out of it. Put the key in, turn to the accessory position, put a pin in that hole and push while turning the key farther to the left. The lock popped right out. I learned a lot keeping that car going for all those years.

Mustie just puts a big smile on my face when I watch him work. He is a pure delight..👍🔧🇬🇧😁

I have had several old Chevy trucks. Love working on those old 1 barrel carbs. So easy and they always work.

I worked in 70s in NYC in a Carburetor rebuilt shop. Learned how to clean anodize and adjust tune just about everything. Today's modern EFI is so much better than carbs instant start no issues flooding etc. Carbs and Points nonstop issues then. GM HEI and Rochester carbs majority of systems commonly seen . CV carbs from Europe like webbers odd similar to motorcycle carbs . I learned the early Bosch j tronic which old timers then thought was "Voodoo high tech" in 70s. I have chemicals still in my blood 😂

This ‘barn find’ series is super. Looking forward to the next one.

What a real barn find !! That truck is in great shape for it's age, ready for restoration. Thanks for the great videos, they make my Sundays !!

That’s the sound of my childhood. Had a neighbor named Jack that worked at RCA that had 65 C10 . Every morning at 6:30 I heard it start and go through the gears up the road.

A bit of a budget wouldn't be a bad thing. A carb rebuild kit was always going to be an essential. And one working wheel cylinder at least would help... Well done, Darren, as always. (There are 114,000,000 KZfaq channels, and Mustie1 is the mustiest of all)... 👍

Those trucks were so easy to work on! They are so expensive to try and get as projects! Too bad. Have a photo of me at 2 years old in 1966 sitting in the back of a truck just like this one playing with a ball. Memories...

Seeing this make me really miss my old '66... best little truck I ever had.

I can remember my dad choosing to go on a 3000 mile trip with the family in one of these back in the sixties. It had a camper shell on it and my sister and I rode for the most part in the back sitting on lawn chairs. No AC and by the end of the trip our ears rang from the road noise. Swore after that to never drive long distance to anywhere, just fly after that miserable vacation.

I was definitely thinking a lawn tractor key switch was gonna be swapped in!

SO glad this truck from my birth year is alive again!!

My dad had one of these. This brings back memories. I ruined the transmission trying to drive.

Good morning Mustie Family, I enjoy watching old iron run again Wave rake would have had that turned easier but was fun to watch.

I especially like learning about the carbs and points. The electrical troubleshooting is great too... Thaks for this formatted vid. Love the stories too...

good ole Chevy hope someone gives it some love .

I wish I were there with you to capture the verve when you got it fired up and running...and enjoy the sound of your mad scientist laugh when it did!

Hi Darren. You took me back quite a while to a time when American vehicles was sold in South Africa! Chevy's, Ford, Chrysler, Dodge. GMC. My Dad use to have '67 Fleetside Chev truck with a similar front end to the one you are working on. I learn to drive in it at age 12!! The kingpins were quite worn as well as the steering box so it was quite a handful to keep in a straight line never mind on the road. Thanks for bringing fond memories back!! Jannie Cilliers.

Really like this truck, I think its worth to make it proper again in the way you mention. Nothing too fancy just the essential parts of it. Amazingly cheap parts to get for these makes it really get going for it. Great videos, looking forward to the next one!

Watched both videos on this truck and enjoyed it very much. Keep doing what you're doing.

You really proved your worth, resurrecting that Chevy pickup ! Great video!

I had a 64 Chevy Custom cab truck. Same green color. Mine had the big rear window and a 283 engine. Till the ex took it. It now sits in her back yard rotting away. People can be so cruel. These are solid trucks. Nice to see you getting her going.

Dad had one just like this. Very simple to repair and reliable. It just needed about 20 more hp…

That was cool, no shortage of rattles but it runs like a dream

You have way more patience than I ever did. That's one reason you are as good as you are😊

I've had several of these trucks. Loved every minute! Thanks Darren!

@mustie1 Based on your videos, I did my first carb overhaul to resurrect an 30+ yo snow blower. Running far better now! Thanks for all you do.

Was fun watching, was the first vehicle I ever drove. Same year.

That is going to make a super cool truck with a little love

My first car was a 1977 Granada, however the previous owner engine swapped it with a 351W and it had a 3 speed pistol grip shifter. Tan with stock wheels it was the ultimate sleeper for sure, I even had a box of tissues on the back deck lid to make it look like “ Granny’s car “

Love these Sunday morning Mustie magic shows..abracadabra..fixed.

Thank you for mentioning forgeting where all the bits and pieces go. some comfort in knowing I am not the only one! BTW my first was a 1963 gmc bouht for 150.00 in 1970 finally junked it in 1982. great memories.

Your truck reminded me of Christine when you were backing up. Maybe she'll heal herself now that her lover has returned!

One of my old cars, bought for around $100 in the mid-eighties had do be started with a short screwdriver. An Opel Kadett, i think the barrel was AC Delco, very similar to the Chevy switch (both GM cars). This very temporary solution stayed on for five years. :-) I just added a hidden kill-switch to ground out the ignition. As theft protection!

The amount of knowledge and dedication to every project you do is just amazing watch you since you bring back the VW rusty the very first one about 6 yrs ago and still after all your DIY bikes mopeds lawnmowers and so on and on still amaze me by amount of tricks and tips you got under your sleeves 😀 😊 😉 keep going what you do you are great mechanic and person thx you for all those yrs of entertainment 😀

I love that truck! Mustie should keep it!

I like your uploads...no loud crazy music, annoying sponsors, dumb dialogue. Ill watch anytime.

I just watched you're first video u ever made and its crazy to see how long ways you came from..it all started with a camping trip on a beach where nobody was around drinking wine with the wife and hanging with the two dogs... wayyyy back in 2007.. you're my favorite KZfaq channel of all of them. Thanks for the great content keep it up.

Very nice looking old truck Mustie1, runs great to. I love to see them old trucks, look forward to seeing more Mustie1.

Yeah, our family cars were nothing special until Dad bought a ‘58 T’bird (in ‘59). It was always in the shop. He traded it on a ‘60 Bonneville tri-power. Oh yeah!! I was 17.

On those old 1960's - mid 1970's GM ignition switches - take a worn GM ignition key, stick it in the ignition, straighten a small paper clip, stick it in the little hole and out pops the ignition switch. We used to screw with each other like that in HS in Vermont back in the late '70's all the time. Being right next door, I'm sure you know that trick!!

This is one of the greatest "will it run" series I've ever seen. Between this and the Plymouth you've gotten two vintage cars running with NOTHING. No parts, just experience, knowledge and perseverance. I feel like such a parts installer now, I'm constantly buying parts for my projects. What you did with the ignition switch was freaking hilarious! Keep them coming. You mentioned Cuba at one point - where people make do with what they have over and over again. Love it. What a great series concept!

I do have to agree that there is a bit of a difference when it’s not something you own. Kinda feels like you’re rushing to get to the vehicle you purchased. Which is understandable. Not saying the videos aren’t really good just missing that slow organic dissection element we all love from your videos. I literally watch all your videos over and over because I love working with you in the garage. Looking forward to your new purchase and its resurrection. Thank you Mustie for all your hard work and love for all things mechanical.

Like my Dad's truck. Green '65 C10 with standard brakes, 6 cyl., and 3 on the tree. He upgraded in '73 with a new Chev with an 8 and automatic. Always liked the old one.

I learned to drive in a 68 Chevy with a three on the tree and a six banger. Would love to find a truck like that. Get it running good and leave it the way it is with patina! Another great Mustie1 video!

23:12 I had an old dodge dart where the throttle would stick. No matter how much spray I put on it, it'd always stick in the winter. I went to the local auto parts store and bought a heavy duty spring to add to it. I remember getting caught in a snow storm once and sat at the lights with the right rear tire turning in the snow because the throttle was stuck lol.

Thank you Mustie! Keep the trucks coming!

Bought a 64 with coils on the rear back in 78. $50. Found out the frame was broken behind the cab. I kept hearing a clunk noise. Went to the junk yard and bought a frame and lengthened the whole thing at least a foot. Moved huge logs with that thing....lived throught it too.

Mustie is the king of wrenching videos! I try to model my videos in the same, simple style. Less is more.

What a great series this is seeing you go through all these barn finds I can't wait to find out what you bought!

Seems like a good starting point for a budget restoration, keeping the patina like you said!

I have a 61chevrolet Apache 20. Needle and seat is stuck. That's what you get for letting it sit. I'm going to relax and watch this video first. Nice job 👍

Mustis my favorite u tuber,I've learned more things watching his vids then I have from anybody else, the process of elimination is one of the most important methods of trouble shooting you can learn

That's the " right way" using the "Right Stuff" on the gasket.😁 You'll know how good a job you did assembling the carb by how many pieces you have left on the table. 🤣 Thanks as always mustie1 for the vids!

Great content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Mystery washer goes in front of the sintered brass fuel filter between the filter and the inlet fitting.

Mustie you the man.Super motors well made of proper metal.All the best to you all.

You’re late Mustie, I’m already on my 2nd cup of coffee, oh wait, it’s daylight savings time never mind. Lol!

Had a '63 back around '77 or so. Looked almost identical to this except it had what they called a 6-pack after market a/c under the dash that would freeze you out. I probably miss that truck more than my '69 GTO - or close to it. Classic for sure. Would love to have one again sometime.......... Great work! Keep it up brother !!

My first car was a 73 ford maverick, had to do a lot of work for my grandpa for that thing. I wish the michigan weather hadn't destroyed it. Mustie1, you always put out the best video's, and i love the stories and diagnosis. An old girl from michigan appreciates the effort.

hi Musti1 i enjoy watching you videos glad you getting the chevy truck running and gaving it a new life

Coffee: Check Cigar: Check Mustie1: Check The perfect Sunday morning continues to save my sanity.

Odd, I don't know why there is so much "hate" for VGG, why would there be any kind of conflicting argument between the two channels? They are quite different and each has their own strong points. Mustie1 does what he is comfortable with and I'm sure is compensated well for his channel and something he enjoys without the hassle of dealing with scheduling, management, promotion etc. It seems he goes about his channel as a fun comfortable means of earning a side income while doing a bit of teaching and learning. VGG from the start seems to be a bit more on the entertainment side with bits of instructional information thrown in and Derek and his family look to be building something bigger capitalizing on their entertainment value to build a good solid future for their boys. Commenters on here calling VGG a sell out for doing advertising, putting together a show and having sponsors so he can build a good comfortable life for his family, he hasn't dropped any of his values as a family man that I can see, perhaps all the naysayers are just jealous due to there inability to measure up.

Reminded me of our 73-74? Mustang. Top speed was 53 highway unless you used the A/C. 49 mph.

Somehow I'm going to get an old truck like that so I can do some work and also ministry bringing food and clothing to some needy people. I really love your videos and how you go about figuring things out with brain power instead of Google most of the time. I think it'll keep you sharp for years to come. God bless you, sir, on this day Dec. 7, 2022 that we all remember those who serve our nation in the military and especially those that have passed on 82 years since the Japanese attacked The United States of America at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

20:35 yeah I was disappointed that you didn't get the buick. That would have been a nice project for you to get it not restored but to driveable condition. It'd be cool to see the repair of the antique brakes, etc.

As a truly knowledge able mechanic, you are probably already aware of this but back in the mid 1960's while I was out of the country and my brothers were still in High School, they and their buddies got bored one morning waiting for school to start and decided to try out their car keys to see how many would fit other vehicles in the parking lot at school. Those with chevy keys found out that they could start every other chevy in the lot with the same key. Can't really imagine that was a local situation applicable to only rural NC.

So humble and never in a hurry

I'm 62. However when I was a little boy probably around 6 yrs old my grandfather ( a mechanic ) who worked on 20's 30's 40' 50's vehicles taught me how to make gaskets with gasket material and a tiny ball peen hammer. First tap out bolt holes and use screws to hold material in place. Then tapping ever so lightly using the peen cut out the material inside and around the piece until the gasket was formed perfectly. That's the way you got gaskets. I do this even today. I can make a gasket for anything old school. I wish I could have been there with you only to make a gasket for you. It's quite easy and almost no cost. I think a roll of gasket material is only a couple bucks. Save every piece you cut off because you never know how small the next gasket is you may need. I've done this my whole life and they do the job. Also...every gasket make gets two fingers dipped in oil and rubbed onto the new gasket. It helps the new gasket slightly swell and seal under pressure. Maybe one of your videos would show this process. It's a lost art in mechanics.

35:00 I remember one of my old cars and the water pump went. $6.00 including the gasket and $2.40 for the thermostat. Swapped it out one afternoon in the backyard. Back when cars were easy to work on.

Nice old truck!

Musti can fix practically anything!! This would make a great project truck!!

That key gives the truck that down home farmy feeling!🤣😂👍

Would like to see what it would’ve look like after a pressure wash👍

Woo-hoo! Was hoping for part 2 of this old glory. Question: I have Snapper LT16 parts you mentioned wanting, mainly the exit chute cover. you often say subs donate things to you how do we go about that?

Wow, absolutely amazing how you coaxed that truck back to running and driving. I would love that truck. My 13 year old Silverado has more rust than that truck. LOL

Great old rig, the owner should be happy, with it running, all the best to you and your loved ones

I have to say.....Rat Look rules👌 it took all those years to make it amazing Well done Mustie

Where did the mystery carburetor washer go? 🤣

That may be one of the best sounding straight 6's ive heard. Has a very nice sound to it.

The patina on this rig is perfect 👌

I always feel like we’re being tested when asked questions lol. Perhaps a live stream with chat would be interesting during these episodes.

I will say I’m shocked Mustie doesn’t have 2 million subscribers. Thank god he isn’t peddling those silly items every you tuber peddles. I do have a question Mustie. What is the brand and model name of the impact drill a you tuber sent you that is an absolute beast. Looking to upgrade and I think it was a Milwaukee brand?

What I like is it's always a learning experience problem solving but the best part is you need compression fuel and spark if you have these three things the engine should start

Finger Lakes Region, New York State farmers had pickup trucks like this, when I was a kid.We used to be driven around in the cargo area!
