I would love to sit down and ask Mook and Kevin how where and when they met, and is Mook ever serious. She had to have been raised with brothers. Love the fact that when Kevin doesn't know about something he just admits it and keeps moving forward with whatever is going on. No arrogance or posturing just a shoulder shrug" hmmm I don't know much about....." And he supports his gal pal and doesn't condescend. Great content always. Mook..., If you and Kevin have kids you would be an awesome mom and I'm sure those lil guys would be wrenching alongside both of you! It would be the best reality show ever!
Back when l was in grade school, l saw these trucks everywhere. They kept the same body style until around the early 90's, so parts were interchangeable. They had no electronics, so they weren't too difficult to work on, unlike the newer ones. I thought they were cool back in the day. I hope you get this one running. Good Luck!👍
Drove an old GM Topkick one time that had an automatic in it and the thing was super slow, would barely move, empty and loaded it was not up to the task.

That brings back memories. I used to drive one of these trucks as a kid on grandpas farm. Hauled round hay bails and then as a grain truck. 2speed rear end switch on the shift lever. This truck was a big upgrade from the 40’s Chevy trucks we used before these newer trucks.
I'm 15 years old right now and drive a 1980s c70 with a 6.9 Detroit and a 10 speed Eton fuller, I will say, I love these old trucks but the old Etons are god awful on the two lane
theodore Dow-man - in some states 15 year olds are allowed to drive as long as it's farm work. I'll bet that you are one of those people who wouldn't work for what a farmer can afford to pay, but still expect the grocery store shelves to be fully stocked.
theodore Dow-man - if that's true then you should have known better than to make that comment. Farm kids have to take on a lot more responsibility for their age than city kids. And they understand that if they get into a wreck with the farm truck, it means that not only will they have to pay damages which come out of the family's income, but also that the truck might be out of service for an extended time also hurting the family's income. Of course there are exceptions, but as a general rule farm kids are much safer drivers than the average person.
I so much enjoy watching Mook and Kevin have fun wrenching, down to earth, honest and entertaining. Also learned a few things that will come in handy when needed.
What a great introduction to this channel. Seeing these two interact with each other, Mook seems like a pretty awesome gal. I love how she just sat herself inside the engine bay, that made me crack the hell up
You two were definitely put on this Earth to be together. You’re the most compatible people/couple ever. You two are hilarious! Thanks for sharing your banter with us.
Don't think Mook gonna be leaning over the fender of that thing but as small as she is she'll just probably sit inside the engine bay on the fender well .
I love listening to you. Your like a shop teacher teaching a class, you explain how you are doing each video everyday and show what you are building for that day. Love watching you and learning from you every chance I get. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed seeing the joy on Monk's face when she drove the truck. Next revival if it's safe how about victory donuts. Kota is a doll. Does Kevin howl at the moon with the puppy after a few cold refreshments.🍺🍺
Yeah, I was thinking dat maybe da train was blowing its whistle to encourage da cute slender Mook ("I'm just a slight-figured girl, Kevin --- I only gots little twiggy-arms!") to "really give it her best" to lift da hood. :D
To put the PTO push the clutch in, put it into gear, engage the PTO, put it back into neutral and release the clutch which stops the transmission from spinning so you can engage it without grinding gears. Hydraulics were probably low, but a lot of beds do have an access panel to refill them with the bed down.
You and that truck did the perfect recreation of my mother when she was learning the manual in the International grain trucks my grandfather had at the time. Specifically when it didn’t want to stay in 1st.
BIG old Chevy. Basis of farm trucks and school buses back in my youth. I remember that manual transmission set-up on my school bus, as the driver rolled through the gears on back gravel roads of the county. Rain, snow or shine, these heavy-duty platforms ran without stopping. Snow? Chains for them through. Never missed much school on these older rigs. The grain trucks like the one you're working on, ran through the fields quite well. These rigs would be valuable still, for hauling firewood and hay bales. No emissions, and the sky is the limit for the mods one can add-on. Torque monsters 💪 BTW: Gotta love older trucks where you can actually reach things under the hood AND sit up under there. 😂
In high school, I worked for a guy with a hay farm and a sawmill. (I know, what a combo.) The truck that hauled the logs out of the swamp and up to he mill was a '52 Ford F5 stake body. Slow as all heck, but I'm SURE we exceeded the weigh capacity hauling red cedar logs out if that swamp. Since the swamp and mill were all in his property, my buddy and I got to drive it around long before we got out license.
@@robertvannicolo4435 im in Australia mine has a tilt front but it all steel, the hood is the worst part that has rusted through. Got a replacement cab and new tilt and slide tray. I just cant find metal front parts. It seems most people had them as farm trucks and never looked at keeping them pretty. The 350 engine had alot of work done to it so it almost bulletproof and gets to highway speed quicker than any other tow truck.
The "something here" that does something is a gear splitter for the 2 speed rear end. Things to investigare is the blatter in the brakes master. If that goes you will be driving a dangerous truck. Grease the king pins right away. If the king pins freeze up it will be quite a job to free them up.
Great video, I have the same truck as this one! Has a 350/4 speed/2 speed rear axle and was originally a 2 barrel but has since been changed to a 4 barrel iron manifold and Rochester quadrajet. My rams horn exhaust manifolds succumbed to the same fate as yours so were swapped for a cheap set of swap meet headers and some junkyard flowmaster mufflers. It's still a turd but it sounds good. Oddly enough it too was a revival, abandoned at a logging site the owner said anything I could drive away I could have so I got the Chevy, an international loadstar and a Ford 9N tractor.
That's a 2 speed rear axle, you can split your shifts when driving it loaded up. Sounds like the truck farted when Mook shut it of after driving it around. Great video content!
A 350 in that truck is about as surprising as finding a 360 Hemi in my last RV, not completely out of the realm of possibility but certainly unusual 😎👍👍 Great video as always 😎👍👍
Have to say, the sight of this truck brought back some really bad memories. Had to drive one just like it with a 20' stake bed to a job site in texas. @17 hours, no AC, blew out one of the rear tires in the middle of nowhere in Mississippi.found a replacement. 40 miles later blew out another tire. And that gas burner got horrible mileage.
Its a split shifter, its got a 2 speed rear end in it, that's what the little pull guy on the shifter is for. Basically that 4 speed that is in there is effectively an 8 speed for when you are loaded, although I think you can usually get away without using it almost entirely when the truck is empty other then maybe in 4th on the highway, popping it into the higher setting to bring RPMs down a little. I have had one before, it was fun.
Yay another video from Mook wow it’s going tobe a Busy night two videos one from junkyard Digs and one from junkyard Mook awesome way to end a week👍 Mook is happy she love ❤️ BIG TRUCKS
kevin, the "big truck" on the registration is because chevy trucks over 1 ton were referred to as "big trucks". that's likely a C60, or 2 ton, so it'd be a "Big Truck".
You can sit on the inner fender and wrench in it. Everyone I know worked on a square body Chevy like that. The red box behind the seat has safety triangle reflectors..
3 coolest parts of this video: 1 Mook's vgg hat, 2nd is the puppy, and 3rd was when you went to "hit the button" and Mook says you should check to see if it's in gear........yeah, she's a keeper!!!!!!
i recently moved out to our moms old farm place where they grew up and theres so many old vehicles and old farm equiptment and trucks and its coo to actually learn a few things about them just from watching these videos
That's awesome! I love those big old trucks like that. Aside from the ecosystem of lichen growing on the truck, it appears to be in very good shape, cosmetically. Transmission needs some work.
Hey dawgs! I wore my Junkyardmook hoodie to the LaCrosse Center in LaCrosse, Wi for the Stansfield State dart tournament, I had a few different people come up to me saying nice shirt and that they were subs👍🏻
@@JunkyardMook I should also tell ya I parked my Jeep in Lanesboro, Mn and these guys sitting there noticed my Junkyard Digs sticker on my Jeep and said “Junkyard Digs I watch that guy on RU-vid!” And you might not want to inflate Kevin’s head but the one guy said, “That guy is a GENIUS!” 😆👍🏻
Love it, great video. And the c50 through C70 trucks with the gasoline engines are pretty easy to work on, I always said that they're just a C10 in a big coat since they use the same cab pretty much all the same electronics and the same drivetrain as long as their gas as the half ton through 1 ton series trucks.
Always fun! Kevin, that thing that the back wheels are connected IS a live axle, but so are all the rear wheel drive vehicles not equipped with some form of independent rear suspension....its just a drive axle with no "hinge" of some sort , so both wheels are always in the same relationship to each other. This particular kind is a "2 speed" , which, as you have seen, is an extra gearset inside the center section, activated by a solenoid of some sort. How do I know this? I'm an old guy, I've driven these is my alibi.... Have fun, of course!!!
