1950 Chevy 3100 FIRST START in 35+ years! Will it run? *RunAway* 

OMG This is my favorite type of pickup truck😍 please keep it original. No hotroding or lowriding.

Brings back memories of my old 51 Chevy pickup, wish I never sold it.

I like how u went to points first!

Absolutely LOVE these old Advance Design pickups; I learned to drive in a '49 Chev 1/2-ton with the optional four-speed. I like telling people that I learned to drive in a vehicle with FOUR pedals... they rarely guess the fourth one, the starter pedal :)

Awesome I have a 1950 3100 also I’m in MN paid 4500 for it in excellent shape!

Engine sounds good. Looks like a nice project.

My Great-Grandmother has two of these on her property + a 1940's Volkswagen

I am working on about the same motor right now in a 50 as well. Just waiting on a starter rebuild. Mine was toast. Sure hope mine purrs like that one does.

Been working on bombs "old chevys all my life this was fun to watch

I like that truck!! Good video btw.

Excellent old General Motors truck and motor sounds low mileage on to not bad shape overall for sure !

If those wire mesh filters are properly maintained there ok. The wire mesh needs to be oiled well, to catch the dust and dirt.... altho paper filters do filter better and are way less messy. Super solid truck, well worth a restoration or customizing.

Now THAT'S how you blow the cobwebs out 😂 I've never heard an old 6 rev that high before. Lol.

Got a 53 chevy dump truck. What size barb fitting did you use for the carb?

Awesome truck! 👍

I'm watching you trying to start an old Chevy truck.It will start better if you pull the plugs and shoot some marvel oil down the spark plugs holes.it will turn better.

I have a 1960 Impala two piece drive shaft, but I'm in the Detroit area. I "think" it's a Powerglide shaft.... the front part is different length depending on the transmission used. I could ship it, but I bet shipping would be more than what a driveshaft is worth..... though I would give you the driveshaft free, if you want to drive to the Detroit area.... but no guarantee on it being a Powerglide front shaft....

21:33 - BRILLIANT!!! That's the only way to get all the rubbish out, let it rev its own guts out at full revs. Hopefully got that treatment every day of its life.

what kind of clack pump do you use?

TY guys.

I need a left rear fender if you end up with a extra!

I call that part a "spring eye".

Is the motor a 216 or 235?

I want one baaaaddddd!

Tell me about the 51 Ford convertible ?

When will it be up on ebay?

The horn works.!! LOL

Take off the valve cover and see if the rockers are oiling, easy to take off the rocker shaft and clean it up if they are not. Those old stove bolts are almost indestructible.

Pretty truck

Jumper cables are a weak source for starting current.

i like the old truck

About 1952, they advertised these as "Chevrolet, the only fine car ... priced so low." That may or may not have applied also to "Advance Design Chevrolet Trucks." I'd prefer 70-series tires on these older cars but, otherwise, I'd like to keep it a 6-cylinder car, or truck.

make sure you get some oil to the top

Put a shot of shine down the carb.

What happened to the 64 Impala?

Post a Link to the Ebay auction

Interested!

Yup, $1000 for a new two piece drive line is too much. You’re better off finding a used one. They show up on eBay occasionally. The last one I bought there cost me $200 shipping included. When you find one, you’ll probably have to cut it. Most of the ones out there are for the PowerGlide. Yours has a four speed , right? Thanks for the vid.

I think that one had an oil bath

👍👍

there is a place in Rochester that make's drive shaft's cant think of the name

Do yall have a parler account or whats your ebay account name?

you are supposed to soak it in motor oil and let a little lay in the bottom tray, they work infinitely better then a paper filter but how can you sale filters when you have one that you rinse with gas poor oil over and use forever

I want the truck

What do you want for that truck hit me up let me know where you located thank you I'm very interested in it I'm in the state of Georgia

Dude that's so old

Nothing like turning over a longtime stored engine without pulling the plugs and putting some oil or MM oil down the cylinders to lube the cylinder walls or pulling the valve cover to see if a valve was rusted shut or open. Great teaching skills......not.
