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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

Hell yeah! Kevin and Mook a re a blast! Glad ya had fun!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Road Trip Resistant!!

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. ❤

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

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

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

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. :)

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

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

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.

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

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 ✌️

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. 😊

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?

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

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

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!!!

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

Another banger! The 454 doesn't actually have to "run" in order to "run" so you have nothing to worry about.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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😆

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!!

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

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

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

Loved your closing! Keep it up!

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

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

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

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

Best car humor on the yt

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!

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

9:53 burnin' dinosaurs 😂

great work John ....

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

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!

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...

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

Glad you had a great time

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

It can't get more american like this. Just perfect. Quite a bit away from rich guys playground. And I like that.

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

Your doing a great job Dalton, you are the channel I'm most excited to see a new video, your right up there (and better for a lot of it) with the big dogs on RU-vid

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.

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 😊.

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

I daily a square body burb. I’ve put over 20k miles in a year n half. It had a few gremlins when I fist got it, (fuel pump, carb rebuild, alternator, starter). Once I got those sorted It’s been dead reliable.

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!

Saw Kevin's vid yesterday, such madness, seemed real fun. Great vid Dalton.

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

Come on people get this man to 100K subs so he can go full time.

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!

Awesome thank y'all

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

just found yer channel man just what i was lookin for! hell yeah

love that sled

Glad you had a great North Woods experience!

Being I live in Seattle, it's weird seeing someone driving in the right lane except when passing. I'm used to seeing people camping in the left lane holding up traffic.

This was a GOOD TIME . Thanks for the ride
