1100 Miles in Big Block Squarebody - Will I Survive? Or Go Broke? 

"It's in your truck now, so goodbye" Spoken like a true car person

This is why I love your channel. You truly do budget builds and actually use the vehicles.

Love it. It’s amazing how these old things keep going after seemingly sitting and just minor maintenance.

Every time I watch your videos I tell my wife how much you remind me of my dad. I grew up in the 70s, and my father was very much into the same things as you. Make it work so you can use it and make it look good if it's worth it. Smokes hanging out the mouth, aviator glasses, the whole thing. And I was like your son, hold the light, clean up this or that, this is why we do this, etc. Lots of good memories. Thanks

Casey's breakfast burritos are an absolute gem. Some Texas Pete sauce packets and you got a winner right there. Great episode, fun content! Now back to rebuilding drum brakes. 😃

Good stuff man, always jealous of anyone with a halfway decent squarebody. They seem to never want to die.

Holy smokes what a great trip for the old Square body. Heck throw some Lucus in the old girl and a fuel pump and you got a daily runner. Keep up the great work

PBG is my new favorite. Seems like a guy I would drink beers and wrench on squarebodies with

Ive had POS cars and trucks all my life. I have to tell you Dalton, the boy is the star of the channel (I have 4 boys) This you tube channel brings me great joy. It's fun to watch you struggle and succeed. Brian from Fallasburg Park, Michigan. I have lots of old stuff too. Current daily driver is a 09 GMC HD 6 litre crew with a custom 7' steel flatbed. Farm truck.

12:42 .. i love how he had to grow the 'stache just to look old enough to not get harrassed for underage drinking

You are a strong man to load that thing. Build. Some ramps

I moved to Texas to get out of that kind of mess. I've NEVER missed it once... until watching this video. Looks like it was an absolute blast.

Gotta love the older vehicles that surprise you when they start especially in the cold.

"its been 40 miles of solid ice" welcome to minnesota!!

Helluva victory! I absolutely love This truck! Definitely looking forward to seeing the progress on silver dollar

Dalton you are tied with my favorite channel. Kevin is the OG so I can’t go above him. Because of you I am going to find me a car and do a “budget” ground up restoration.

I am SO looking forward to this whole "SLEDventure." Have lots of fun, and take plenty of footage

Absolutely fantastic wasn't expecting you to upload until Monday so this is great. I love your content I know collaborations help channels grow but your content is top notch. I'm not a big fan of junkyard digs etc just not my thing your channel is much more real world but each to their own. Keep up the good work Dalton you've a loyal supporter here. Ps. I just watched the video till the end and your comments summed up perfect what I was saying and why I love this channel you could of made it "blow up" like some other channels for content but you didn't your just a car guy who loves his old metal.

The most overlooked engine problem ever can be as simple as improper timing settings. I can recall several times my own cars and my friends cars have improper settings and they sounded like something else was wrong with the engine. So it would go down the road okay still be 8° off just enough to cause lag when you get up to speed I even seen it cause starter drag making you think your battery was low or your starter was bad. Bad timing mimics a lot of problems. I always carry White crayon or white chalk with me along with an old-fashioned timing light and the old-timers out there they know what I'm talking about. Having that distributor hold down bolt just loose enough for it to wobble even looser as you're driving from vibrations timing can jump a little bit so when you set your timing always tighten that bolt down then the distributor won't move side-to-side. And no matter what anybody says setting the timing by ear is not always 100% accurate use the timing light. I used to be guilty of that one also. 😊

Today's entertainment: getting gas again. Pass the popcorn 🍿 💯

I've got to admit , you totally scored 🙆‍♂️ on that Yamaha Snowmobile 🏁

I just found out why you needed that extra day off after that hard fall right before you got to the bar 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope your not to sore 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Duuuuuude! I quit being he-man years ago. Herniated back discs are no fun. I use a ramp and a come along these days rather than yanking with my lower back in a twisting motion! The goal here is longevity! Seriously though great content, please keep it going. :)

Just drove my 1979 Chevy C10 from Seattle to Maine and didn't skip a beat 🙌

It's tested now! Those Yamaha's were great sleds. I had a 1 tone square body 7mpg loaded or empty. Another great video looked like a good time. Thanks ✌️

Good job. Lucky you made it home with the truck. My experience with that tic you’re hearing is the spring in fuel pump. I have been stranded numerous times with this problem. Gives you low fuel pressure and causes the surge like you are having. You probably already figured this out by the time I watched this film. Looked like a blast in Wisconsin wish I could have experienced it. ❤

Loved the content, I grew up with the 70’s snowmobiles actually in Wisconsin, looks like you guys had a great time thanks for taking us along.

Nice trip, I had a big block dodge that had a drinking problem also.

I’ve been watching Kevin and mook and the junkyard crew for years now. Relatively new to pbg, but I’m certainly glad I found ya bud. Appreciate all the content and I’m sure what it takes to make the content. I appreciate the most the humble, down to earth mindset that you, the digs crew, and a very select few others have. Regardless of fame or popularity, it keeps me more interested in y’all’s content as it’s so much more relatable. On the flip side of the coin, all the other guys that had their start in that way that are now “big time” I am also happy for them. In the end everyone has to do what’s best for them and their families, and I could never be upset at that. #TLDR

Hey, this is cool! (Also love the new wheels on farm truck 2.0)

Cars & cameras, junkyard digs and Pole barn! Perfect 👍

I am loving your channel!! This was a great video. That look when the cop drove by at the gas station was the best. Thank you for the great content.

Man, I found you on here because of Kevin and Mook and Im glad I did. Not only are you showing people that you dont have to dump thousands of dollars into a rig to save it and get it on the road, but you are also educating people and making them laugh with your hilarious content and awesome personality. You inspire others to get out there and make lifelong memories. Thank you for all you do, much love and respect from Toppenish, WA State. 🤘🇺🇸 #SquarebodyLife

Great video as usual "it's been 40 miles of solid ice" welcome to the north😂. Glad to see the old truck made it there and back

Right on. Love these old trucks. Thanks for sharing ! Please don't blow stuff up for content.

What a great time! I thoroughly enjoyed myself the whole trip!! Oh? You didn’t see me?? I guess I DID turn right instead of left. So, that was Michigan?? Hmm

Continuing to impress, Dalton! Looking forward to watching the snow machine competitions- heard Kevin say the Enticer was probably the best machine there for the weekend- I can believe that! - It's a beaut! and for you to gift it to Kevin was awesome! All in all, the truck did what was asked of it and got you there and home- good stuff! Enjoying all your vids and SO looking forward to more '70 'Stang Grande restore vids! We got to name her officially I think. Would anyone happen to have any ideas?

Another awesome video man, you’re my favorite new channel to watch on RU-vid right now. I don’t enjoy watching people half-ass something together or butcher something to be cheap or cause they’re an idiot, but you don’t do that. You fix things in a way that I actually do enjoy watching, even if you cut some corners here n there and don’t always replace every part. Idk if that makes any sense or not lol. You fix the important things right but let some things slide to stay within a budget, which is what most real people do. Knowing where the line is on what has to be fixed and what doesn’t is a skill that alot of idiots out there don’t have though, so I can appreciate an artist such as yourself. Also I know you read all the comments so sorry for leavin a long one to get through😆

So I’m happy that I got my 1981 yamaha exciter 440 running and I’m in it for $209 with fuel included

There's a lot of bravery in this episode lol

Thats nothing for them old chevys, I bought a 92 Silverado in Arizona for $500, at first I thought it was going to be junk, but it was pretty good truck, just the Arizona sun baked everything, I decided to move back to Ohio, and I decided to drive that truck 2100 miles, this truck had almost 400,000miles on the old 5.7, It made it, Blew out 1 bearing and it dug into the spindle in Kansas, changed both front bearing and a spindle and off I went, just wish it had a bigger fuel tank, 20 gallons I was filling up like every 200 - 250 miles.... lol.

Best car humor on the yt

My 77 3/4 with a camper in the bed pulls my race car around every weekend. It not restored or fancy but it gets the job done!

26:43 - Awesome quote. This should be on garage walls everywhere.

A real guy doing real repairs to vehicles less courageous folks ignore. That's cool you and the others went the route of racing snowmobiles dating back to the 70's and 80's Machines don't know what decade it is --- fix em to run em and have fun. That's a dam good K-10 4 wheel drive truck -- and it made it there and back!!!

Definitely looked like a great time in the snow...but I'm ready for spring

Really ... THAT TRUCK is the CHARIOT OF FIRE . TRUST ME . ~ Jesu was here

What a great video. You are killing it Dalton. I’m gonna try to let more people know how great your channel is and also pick up some PBG merch. Your merch items look pretty cool. Keep the great content coming.

Glad you had a good weekend Thnx for taking us along👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice to see a truck being used as a truck. Lower it? No. LS it? No. How about just Drive it. Great content on a snowy weekend, from a bunch of Yankees. Chevy

Your best video yet. The can’t be stopped mentality is very impressive.

This was a GOOD TIME . Thanks for the ride

Road Trip Resistant!!

cool video.. literally lol I enjoyed the work you did on this in the previous video, and the last with the Mustang. I think this is the first video of yours i have seen at a normal time here from England.. its usually very late here and you make me stay up and watch haha. As a smoker myself, i saw the cig packet reflection in your windscreen first, i find the more i drive the more i smoke. Didnt realise the miles you did until you mentioned it. Also yes i wish here we could have old things like that to drive, but here so strict road test of vehicles needed, and prohibition notice would be on the vehicle before the end of one mile lol Would kill for a garage, rather than just a exposed drive.. So very little gets done in winter or early spring weather.. (or summer here to be fair) cos of the wind and rain,. Anyway soon time for bed.. cheerio old chap

25:15 the cop waved to you and you gave him the stink eye and a cold shoulder 😂😂😂 cold piece right there dalton!

i love the fact that you were the one who had the guts to drive a revival to that event. all those other guys in their diaper mobiles geez lol great video highly entertaining. i look forward to the next one.

Congratulations Dalton .Great testament of this old truck. You ran the fool out of it. Thanks for sharing! 💯❤️

I just got myself a 76 C10 and this truck and your channel is my motivation and inspiration

That's just so awesome. Big block in a Chevy squarebody - nothin' better. Great video man!

This channel was a great find, keep it up man, gold content! Greetings from Brazil

I’ve been waiting for this trip since you bought that Yamaha. Made it all the way there and had a great time, no major breakdowns! And it made it home. I say it was a success. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along!

Good luck on the adventure.. You guys need to invite NNKH, he just bought an old snowmobile.

Glad to see you made it there and back ! Swanny seemed to run good ! Hope you had a blast !

Awesome video love the channel love to see somebody else keep the little square body Chevys alive

I'm just glad you survived the dumps in the snow. It looked like a blast.

Hope you make it and don’t lose the shop!!

Circle track racing on a frozen lake, only in the very far north. LoL 🤣

The fuel pump is definitely on its way out it'll drive okay but not keep up at idle just dealt with that on a small block

i'm glad you're hanging out with Kevin. He could learn a lot from you.

Not something I have thought about for a long time, but that is another thing I miss about Canada. As it was Winnipeg, it was cold on top of cold, but man, was it fun. I miss the scream of snowmobiles on Lake Winnipeg from Victoria Beach. Also, the ditches out in the Boonies. I can hear the screaming 2-stroke, smell it, and I can feel the cold. Aint nostalgia awesome?

Have to tell ya Dalton, this is my new favorite channel I've watched most videos twice!!

Looked like a fun trip! I remember going to northern Wisconsin to go snowmobile since my childhood.

My uncle, who passed away this year, had a 78 just like this one but had a 4 speed it still runs to this day.. great video Dalton keep'em comin!!

thanks for not faking things, nothing is really hidden anyway and we can all feel it deep inside

Nice vid!! Love the mobile Busch latte cooler as well haha. Looks like an absolute blast up North….

Great video, loved the outro! Trucks doing truck things

I got a feeling it's going to be one of those trips 😂

That was a very enjoyable video. Looks like you all had some fun an the ol farm truck did it's job. Thanks for sharing 😊.

great work John ....

Days like this i am thankful I never have to add the variable of cold and salt to my revive and jury rig shenanigans. edit: also i appreciate the 4 pair of aviators on the dash while on that suspension bridge.

Now you know why those twin saddle tanks on a big block square body were so handy. But 40 gallons at 5 bucks a gallon today would be one heck of a shock!

love that sled

That ice drag racing is pretty nuts with them high horse power cars

Cold blooded bigblock you got to pump the accelerator 5 times rub the dash and blow on the key before you put it in the ignition drove a 3+3 bigblock long bed dually with 5:13's in high-school had to learn the MOJO or be late to school I miss that truck when you put it on the wood you could watch the gas gauge drop as the speedometer climbed

Great to see you are out there and doing what so many know not how. Nike has said it for everyone to hear, as has these guys.... they just do it. Good on ya fellers and fellettes...

Really enjoyed this and yes a truck needs to be used not pampered give it a little love and it will take care of you.

Now that's a clogged up fuel filter/screen, dang!! The cargo strap battery hold down is sketchy tasty!! lol. Hey it works though!

The farm truck did well! But it sure loves to drink!

You made it home, I'd call that a win!

Man what a great truck... gotta love a square body chevy!!!

I love that little raider thing. Would love to make a half track out of it, because in Mid Missouri as you know we get a good snow every few years. We go NOTHING this year.

You put a snowmobile in your truck.. by yourself. Dude. To have that kind of strength again. Hey I love your videos . Love your sarcasm. Love how your boy helps you and how you show the trip n such... It's just great. But hey man..the smokes n energy drinks. Start pumping the brakes on those before your oil pump stops pumping. Just a lil friendly advice. Love your channel n style. Btw,I bet you'll never again hope a roof off for a gambler hahaha. I could feel your pain that next morning. Or maybe you could design a type of detachable folding type cover. You kept the merc I thought

You done did it! Hope the truck clears up..🤔 I just sold my little Polaris 340, drive chain went out. Sold it from where it broke down on WI. trail! It was very dependable for two seasons

Road trip videos are my favorite with any channel I follow. I wonder what your mileage would’ve been at 65? You know, a more reasonable speed for an old truck with full time 4wd, and a 454.

Great content as always!! Love the sunglass collection!!

Stumbled across you on accident a year ago and I've been the biggest fan ever since, love all your content and humor also all the vehicle are super cool hope to meet you one day I'm in Dayton Ohio so I doubt it but I have a 92 f150 5.0 you've given me some humorous inspiration to get her going!

I loved the Enticer that I had, it was a 83 340 and it had a slick track on it and would hand with Indy 500’s. It was pristine until I met mid flight with an Indy 800. If I had been sitting on it as intended I would have lost my left leg at about the knee. The belly pan was bent into the primary clutch and the hood flew off over top of me. All it did to the Indy was take a sliver out of the plastic ski. I did bang out the belly pan and found another hood for the rest of the season. I then sold it to a guy for 500.00. He was going to restore it for his son to ride.

Excellent video! I dont think you were doing bad gas mileage wise. I got 8mpg in my 78' Ford F-250 with the 400M and rear wheel drive. Great to see the old iron out on the road!

Love that old truck, Great video, love this channel, keep up the great content.

loading that snowmobile made me so happy. You belong in my family. Perfect technique
