Thanks David! Yes, she needs a lot of work, but it would be so cool to drive.

That would be awesome if that is a factory bed. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks! I love this truck.

Great info. Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you! I will check out your channel!

I love the 292.

She sure does.

Thanks again!

Thank you!

Are you going to trailer it home ? It would be interesting to see the before/ after video if you change the manifold gaskets . It would be a very cool truck once cleaned and made roadworthy. Great job btw.

@@johnmontague4245 Thanks John, I am glad you liked it. I had thoughts of driving it home, but it is too rough. The rear u-joint is so bad it is ready to fall out, and the intake gasket is shot. The wide open exhaust doesn't help either!

Come on, I love Christina’s commentary.

Well, it worked, but there was a lot of luck involved.

That is good info, thank you. What do you mean by a governor under the carb?

@@whattherust Maybe to restrict rpms; I am thinking. Sort of like a rev limiter.

@@vayabroder729 Ah, OK, like a restricter plate. I did not see one, but I could have missed it.

Thanks! Three repairs to do right away. Carb, intake gasket, and rear u-joint. It should be driveable then.

Thanks Paul. Mine as well.

My favorite body styles as well

Thank you!

Thanks Luke!

I have seen sixes even in a C60, but it was a 292. I expect the truck is going to be pretty slow.

Thanks!

Exactly. It has a very nice trailer hitch, which I plan to use a lot.

Thank you for the support!

@@whattherust 👍🙂

Thanks!

Funny stuff. I never did figure out how those screens got onto the red truck. That was over 8 feet up. How did they get there and why? I'll never know.

Years ago I had a worn out GM key, and it fit nearly every GM ignition I tried it in. I still use one like it.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching.

Yes, sometimes I buy them and get them roadworthy. Then they go up for sale.

Thanks for the info. I believe that is what the truck has.

Exactly. This thing oozes cool.

Thanks Lohar. I tend to take brakes more seriously.

Yup

I did, but the deal fell through, so the truck is still sitting there.

Just curious. How

I am not sure, but it was well into the 70s at least.

@Prague Life, but you're right. There did come a time I simply stopped seeing them. I can't quite remember when that was.

Actually the larger straight 6 motors had more pulling power than the small block V8 but the V8 had much more torque. The Fords were the same way. I was in Romney West Virginia one time hauling apples for my dads store and loaded 100 bushels of apples and another gentleman loaded 80 bushels on a identical truck like dad’s he left ahead of me by a few minutes and I caught up with him on Cheat Mountain and passed him and a little later I had stopped for gas and he also stopped he asked me what motor was in dad’s truck and when I told him it was a 300 six cylinder he gave me a cussing and called me a liar because he knew I was loaded heavier and he had a 460 V8 the station attendant stepped up and told the guy to behave or leave and that it was a 6cyl because he had just checked the oil so I opened the hood and let him look. After he calmed down he asked what the gas mileage was and I told him 10 mpg loaded or empty it really didn’t care he flew mad again because his big old motor got 8 mpg at best empty

I think you are right. There were tires all over the place, but that one looks correct.

Right. I think the manifold was changed. I noticed a couple of the mounting bolts snapped off.

I am not certain. I was thinking a 230, but I am not clear on the external differences.

I don’t think Chevrolet offered a 327 until 1962 year models in 1961 it would have been a 283

@@johnbourgeois1414 The trick question for Mona Lisa Vito in court scene in My Cousin Vinny 🤣😂

I remember my Dad never liked Quaker State. Maybe that is why?

Yes, same term. Growing up in the Northeast we called it skipping.

@@whattherust 0K

Skipping? How far north and east cuz I’ve been back and forth between Maryland and Connecticut my whole life and missing was always the term

Right, that has got to go.

@@whattherust 🤣🤣

The filter material inside is weak, and there is not enough of it. There is a video on KZfaq where some filters are cut apart to see how they are made, and the poor quality of the Fram is shocking.

That is odd. Perhaps the manifold was replaced and a poor quality gasket was used.

Thanks! This one had me scratching my head for a while.

I did not know that! Thanks for the info.

It varies. I find out about a lot through my youtube channel. The rest are word of mouth, Craigslist, and FB Marktplace.

Could be, or a manifold swap.

Sent you an email.

@@whattherust got it thank you

No 454s in 65 and more than likely not even a 348. probably the biggest you got in a ton truck was a 327.you could get a 409 in a medium duty.

@@buckster2575 I have my dads 1965 with the 454 in it and it is c30 2wd drive dual rear wheels stake body. My dad bought it a year old off Westinghouse Electric company in Allentown Pa. I've had it since 1988. There are 2 other plumbing trucks here built in 1966 but titled as 1967 they have the 396 motors. If U want to talk powering the commercial versions of the heavy trucks as well as Blue Bird busses and the Pullman Hobbs versions busses all had the 327 & 348 motors according my GM history book here in my office. The 350 was being introduced in late 1967 and the trucks did not yet have the 350 until late 1968 according to the GM book I have... Occasionally the book is wrong. We had two near clone 1967 c10 pickups one had a 427 in it the other had the 327 motor but outside paint and trim they were clones. We had to paint the bumpers a diff color on the truck I would as a kid so I wouldn't take the old mans truck to school. GM did have special ordering available was popular in this area in particular because this area had massive MFG as well as Bethlehem Steel Co and Western Electric. So there are some special order freaks we have come across. I have 1966 Utility body GMC c20 that has the 348 motor and giant oil bath air cleaner in it. That was thee very first 348 motor I ever saw until I saw a Metro Cab in our shop as a kid. The metro cabs mainly had the 348 motors. I remember my dad getting tons of em from NY and NJ all smashed up and we would pull the motors and install em in trucks or local cab companies bought em from us.
