@@superduty4556 Yeah I realize that when I saw🐾 Sammy, why did he call him a different name? oh well better than nothing he's probably married now with a baby😳 less time for video probably has a stockpile of old content that he hasn't edited because he hates doing that.✌
@Drip Scans Well then lightning looks like Sammy's CLONE!!😹😉 Strange I've NEVER seen the TWO DOG'S TOGETHER And I've been watching Chris since 2017 when he first started his channel. I believe a little New vocabulary was interjected into the editing. That Sly cat.🔮
I think that my favorite Birdsong thing is how he'll just shove an engine anywhere it'll fit in order to haul it. Bed of a truck? Sure, fine. Truck of a General Lee clone? No problem!
Yes on the El Camino. I knew of an old guy in my neighborhood growing up that had an SS 396 El Camino... one of those, not for sale, never sell, then disappeared with the car... But was cool to hear the old guy drive by with it.
Minty is looking dynomite !! the suspension looks beefed up nice stance or my be its the tires that also make the truck look good . sweet Truck Chris 😎🤘🏁🎸🎵🎶
Personally, I've not been in many vehicles as comfortable as a '70's Dodge truck with a bench seat. Fits me just right. Even though I'm 6'1". I have short legs though. That is a nice truck.
That's a sweet truck I have a 1975 Adventure SE shortbox. The truck came factory with bucket seats with a center console I have been restoring it for a while now and should be done this winter for the spring and hoping to go hit power tour or forsure Woodward dream cruise and Roadkill nights
Better than a 10200!! On your Minty improvement list add in paint correction and installing a legit ceramic coating Minty will continue looking like the Badass Truck everyone loves plus, bugs or Assholes as that is all that’s left after the bugs go spat on the grill and windshield areas will not stick nor, will mud or dust stick, not even water will leave behind spots and the last awesome part is that even in the desert ceramic coating will last last two to three years on a vehicle living outdoors. As usual Great content
I had a 71 Dodge D150 the same color as minty. I loved that truck. Cab mounts got bad. When I would make left turns the cab would move enough to put the transmission in neutral. Then I got Brownie. A 74 Dodge D 250. I had the local muffler shop bend me an exhaust system that dumped in the passenger side like minty. The gas tank on the Dodges gets in the way for duels. The other thing I like about old Dodge trucks is the vent windows in the doors.
Love watching your channel The El Camino is awesome my 1st car was a 68 SS elCamino I will have me another one of these days but the 70 is my favorite year keep up with the great content You're doing an awesome job and awesome work
Thanks Chris, another video of cool content, scenery and bad wrecks. A sound track would have been icing on the cake. Look forward to seeing the minty 360 build and up grades. You have made her one fine truck anyone would be proud to own. Later.
It’s gotta be a damn good feeling being you, i wish I had your health, money and know how. I’m crippled, broke and stupid lol. I’m jealous…. Good for you. You living the life, I’ve always wished I could. I ruined my own chance., But that’s not a story for here. Keep on keeping on man and I will keep watching. I been binge watching all afternoon.
I've seen a few guys here on YT using Diesel oil because it has more zinc in it which supposedly helps with the problem. I've been out of the game too long to have looked into it properly myself though.
Chris, Mopar prices are so inflated in the Southeast that if the buried hulk was within 20 miles of me, I'd be digging out that sucker right now as my best bet towards '68 Charger ownership. Bent or not. Nothing a frame table and some B-body unibody bits couldn't solve. Yes, this is the voice of desperation talking. I've got an (presentable) Bondo magnet of a '68 Satellite more door here that cost me 4k and I've probably thrown easily 5-6k at it just to make it something just slightly better than a piece of Roadkill (motorhome 360 swap, dash bits, fuel system rework). 4k was way overpriced and I knew it - but given how everyone in Florida treats rusty Mopars like a retirement plan, I've started to realize that I didn't do too bad for myself on the initial purchase.
Some super glue might have been just the thing for those jets. A drop to hold it on the screwdriver, and once it's screwed in you can pop the screwdriver right off of the jet.
I have a 75 shortbed d-100 minty old forestry truck with the 410-411 gears no power steering and a 727 definitely in need of the 518 trans it’s a 318 rebuild with a 625 cfm 4 barrel carb gas mileage sucks 5-9 mpg I’d put a sniper injection on yours but no headers enjoy the quiet ride listen to music and don’t have to yell at passengers 🇺🇸👍
I don’t know anything about dodge trucks but in the lates 90’s, I use to go to my local dirt track ever other weekend or so to watch the races. One night, somebody had a really nice dodge shortbed truck in the street bomber class. He kicked everyone’s ass.
396 375 horse had some solid lifters in some of them in 68 I don’t know about all the 396 375 horse engines but I have a friend that has a 68 impala SS that has the 396 375 horse 4 speed in it his dad bought it brand new now he has it in his garage sweet ride .
Those are a proper set of tires. Hopefully, the increased diameter will offset the increased rolling resistance. In this application, fuel efficiency isn't so much an eco thing as it is a range thing. Headers are always an upgrade but they tend to leak. Does it have a limited slip? If not, spend the money on a Detroit Truetrac if available. They work amazing and use regular 80W90 with no additive.
I feel spoiled to have a new vid three weeks in a row, i hope you can keep up. We understand if you can’t, with you being a one man band. Great content can’t wait to see the build on rustino
Interesting video I remember the charger down in the wash I like the Anson slots on the trailer and I'm thinking about fixing up a dodge truck I've had on ice a few years 1990 360 auto 1 ton with the inflated prices I'll probably be further ahead !
Whatever you don‘t put stripes on the tailgate. Unless you are going with the fuzzy dice and curb feelers anyway. I dig the wrap too, and I'm not a wrap guy, but for a modified it is bitchin.
Minty would be cool with a turbo, OD trans and 4.11 gears. If you added cruise control too she will be a long road trip machine. Just my opinion that a large gas tank would be a useful addition. She would be prettier if you fixed the rust on the roof and painted the same dark green as the bottom of the truck. My two cents, I will shut up now.
That fin window is a Elco thing in 1970 as Chevelle's do not have it. I think you'd do better with an EFI system on Minty.. Since she's going to be you go get her truck!!
My Pappy had him one o' them Dodge Pickemups with the Long-Bed, but his had the Leaning Tower of Power, and it only took us 6 1/2 years to get him to put a 318 in his. I often wonder whatever became of that truck...he bought it brand new...his was Tan with Tan Interior...
back in the day you could come up with a Chevy station wagon donor and you were all set with one of those elcos, I can't remember what year but, GM quit selling those with a stick shift in them because people were crashing them
I seen him using Indian head gasket sealer , that's the tip of my spear that's what you use when you don't want any leaks, I take and dab just a little bit inside of my radiator hoses never had a leak and never had to take one off with a flathead screwdriver later, now if I could just convince him to try a quart of Rislone in his oil he wouldn't need no 1,300 dollar fry Burger lifters, (mopars are notorious for sticking lifters) I forgot what I was going to say oh yeah , that Minty he looks like a government-owned truck they bought a shit ton bunch of them off of Chrysler back then to help rescue them from going out of business. the military Forest service to cops and all kinds of other agencies had them, a lot of them were slant sixes with three on the tree but some of those were 318
I'm done using comp cam lifters I have had nothing but issues with flat tappet hydraulic lifters and I am not the only one. I switched to crane lifters and have not had a issue with them since but I don't know what it is with comp cam lifters they don't pump up or some are stuck I was thinking I was going to have to run solid lifters on everything because comp cam hydraulic lifters including the roller lifters were nothing but problems and was tired of tossing money away and being accused of breaking the cam in wrong when I have broke in many flat tappet cams for years and never had a issue even with comp lifters until 2 years ago and been a hit and miss issue since.
That's a good old GM thing with a sticky steering wheel LMAO!! They are all like that not sure what they make their steering wheel with but when they sit they get sticky I am glad Mopar don't have that isse LOL!
They have everything to restore Chevelles and El Camino's the only thing is the frame they are famous for rotting out but if it was a west car the frame may be solid on that thing
