FORGOTTEN Chevrolet 4x4 Square Body - will It RUN AND DRIVE 60 miles home? 

Those stories about family are what really sets this channel apart from the rest.

He had to walk away 😂

Grandpa stories are are always the best. Those memories never fade from any family!

Mine smells like old wet dog, charcoal and a gym bag that's been left in the locker for too long. I think it's the factree smell.

Cap and rotor

That distinct squarebody smell!

Mine smells like concrete

I agree they never die. Like it or hate it, the 305 is tough as nails.

Yep, Love your show, but bring back the brothers.

He just reminds me of Bud Spencer. His arms are bigger than my thighs I think he's just a straight up good guy just so chatty.

Just about everything I know about cars comes from this channel

Did you lick the dipstick, and if so, know whether you were tasting oil, gas or coolant?? ;)

@@Inisfad yeah that’s the problem we don’t know what he’s tasting for lol

@@Inisfad u can smell the gas in the oil. Not sure what it means tho exactly lol

@@billybobthornton4186 it means your getting gas in the oil..... bad fuel pump usually

I think he meant horsepower when he was saying that. :)

Six per cent maybe ;P

More like 4 with 2 dead cylinders on both sides great lol

People would probably watch him reading the a Summit catalogue.

@@captainpooby2708 I definitely would.

u mean filtre

@@brandenbartlett2688 yes

*Fuelmakeithappener

@@Nationof300 that's for the carb

Is it not wix?

:-) Damn right!!!!

😅😅😅😅

Yeah, in an 80’s ‘Back To The Future’ kinda way, I guess. Lol

I was eyeing that crew cab in the back!

I would have did a package deal to buy all those squarebody, value on those trucks are going up

@@denniswobbe3157 -- I saw it first, LOL.....

@@ironcladranchandforge7292 but I commented first!

@@denniswobbe3157 -- LOL..... You did indeed sir.

That's Derrick and silent bob to you.

@@radarw64 Oy! That's Mr. Silent Bob to us, pal!

Dumb&Dumber movie part 3

Lmao, I was thinking this same thing the whole time!

Believe me I'm not silence my name is Bob longdicker

Yeah something tells me this has happened before.

Yeah definitely not the first time for that he just eased up and started pushing him

The early episodes are also great, just as the new ones, if youre into mechanics, it just keeps interesting to see ^^

I immediately came to the comments when he spoke 😂

Well I'll be dipped. He was jabbering away so much, he hardly shut up. It's kinda nice to hear a guy's brother being so chatty 👍

Derek talks enough for the both of them.

He's a fart smeller... I mean a smart feller.

Yeah!

You put that very well actually👏 Very much agreed

Beautiful

U said it perfectly

It’s superb isn’t it 😂😂

@@mattcrooke8321 A word I’ve learned lately is - YES. It really does work better than 7 cylinders.

@@JesusisJesus have you seen his other videos? If you haven’t, you really need to. The white Cadillac one is a good place to start 😂😂

@@mattcrooke8321 Yes, he’s extremely smart, and absolutely made for what he does. Oh that’s too much, perfect.

Independence Chevelle..,rocky, and the 67 f250 are great one's to watch..

Hard to believe that it has a TH-350 behind a 454 in a truck... they were almost ALWAYS TH-400's

My 74 chevy c10 Cheyenne super 2wd long bed was a regular cab no ac factory and column shift 3spd manual transmission

No replies but I want you to know you're not the only ome

If things go bad he just looks at something thats still great or is good looking, tryed it myself and it works ^^ glitch in the brain i guess

I don’t j the H

Right there with you, Derek's videos help when working on a project and things just aren't going your way

The blue Chevy next to it need most of it ✅ where's this at its like the holy Grail of Silverados.

Or he’s crazy

I wouldn't trust the car though.

glad you enjoyed it

Russell Waddell that is actually a great idea.

Good idea

if you support his channel with enough cash he might...lol

yeah I've heard SBCs crank slower than that with no plugs at all. She's shot. Testament to their skookum factor, though, that it still got a guy home despite the wear and tear.

👊

His grandpa did not drive that pickup, what Derek said was that he new how farmtrucks is driven and used his grandpa as an example!

@@therealgrizzly pay more attention I'm pretty sure he said his grandpa did drive it

Back in the day I did some creative wiring repair on my $400 daily. I then had the pleasure to have the cops tell me it caught fire in the middle of the road a few hundred yards after it got stolen. I am still proud of what that car did.

a guy is cracking up here. Hilarious! 🤣

Bork bork bork

It’s dereks brother

You probably are like that.

But they ain't got no gravel! HA HA HA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Hahaha nope lol, and didn't matter if he had the truck,or the tractor lol

His friend was push-starting him half the time! 😆 lol

The starter darn sure cranked it over good and that bumper starter came in real handy.

@@wannabeetiger that there is a guys brother....

If there was any compression, It wouldn't have lasted!

I think the reason the starter turned over the engine so fast is -- there's no compression any more. She's cooked her last meal.

Huh wait a minute. I've had a few non disappointed Mom's make that same sound

@@StarlightWorkshop0z Same but the stakes are a little different when its someone elses mom. Not competing for the same approval.

@@richyt6973 🤔😮😅😅🤣😇

Boys ( well Kids , girls to posibly) watch and read these too now fellas 👍😳

I had a brother once - But never a relationship like this...

I want to see the bores and the ring gaps myself. Numbers are kinda irrelevant we know it's barely gonna twitch the gauge just from seeing how fast she turns over. Does show just how skookum these old american V8s truly are, though. A modern engine that wore out just plumb ain't gonna run anymore. This SBC more or less still got a guy home.

Yea, that ole starter is hardly fighting anything.

@@TestECull you’re assuming there are still rings in all the cylinders.

I’d wager the cam is smooth as a broom handle as well.

Maybe if you add together the psi on each cylinder you can break 45.

Yeah if you don't relate to some of his struggles you never had to make do with what you had

Yup, did you notice how fast the starter was cranking her over?, the compression is crap on that engine, he can help her out with plugs/wires but the engine will need to come out for rebuild/replacement.

That motor will go another 50K miles the way it is with a simple tune-up and fresh oil.

@@Whats-It-To-Ya It's just worn out, you can hear it, any engine that spins over THAT fast is presenting a tiny load to the starter, probably why they gave up on it.

Ya, my first thought too when I saw blue. Three Oh Why.

@@barryaiello3127 change oil, add ENGINE RESTORE, Lucas oil stabilizer, 10W40 or 15W40 and the oil pressure will come up , and compression will come up, maybe not for long but it will work for a while, I did that to a wore out 76 Cadillac, and it ran for another 4000 miles

Amen

🇺🇲

A suitable tow rig for Independence.

I see you have a parts truck fallowing you

God Bless America

Well said 👏

For real time has changed byron

Sorry Bryan

@@jasonowens4303 I agree man.

With electric at the point it is now is not practical as a replacement for fossil fuel vehicles. Electric is very efficient for mass transit with an external power source, but batteries present a major challenge and the electric grid is already at capacity and can’t handle the demand total electric would create and much of the electric is created with fossil canceling out the supposed benefits of electric along with the new environmental hazards the batteries present.

What is stopping you... They are out there..

@@jorgyr36 You are correct. After we retired my wife and I travelled to Canada and purchased an old long forgotten Winnebago Minnie Winnie. Fixed it up best we could , furnace, freezer, bathroom all working eventually. Six cheap tyres, fitted it out from thrift shops. Spent just over a year travelling the roads of America, mostly old gravel backroads . Spent Fourth of July in Stanley North Dakota actually, really great friendly people. We had read in England about the Whirla Whip Ice cream there, so drove over for one, honest !. Had one of the best times of our lives. The Rockies, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Mesa Arizona. Almost full length Highway 101 , many side trips as folks invited us to join them. San Francisco, Yuma, . Two months with the snowbirds, day trips just into Mexico as guests of the snowbirds who looked after us so well. Xmas on Ocatillo Flats, I think it was. Houston Space Centre. Slowly across towards the East, but our Visas were running out so we headed North along the Natchez trace, innocents !. Got caught in some kind of a storm near Nashville, everyone else pulled of the camping ground about 2 am, no one old us !. It was rough and scary for a while there, now part of our adventure. Eventually back into Canada and the flight home. Rich folks ?, no way, farm workers kids and just many ordinary jobs until we retired. Camped free most of the time, or cheap, others showed us where and how. So many people, so many places, so many great memories, so much kindness. Those roads are there, just take them, doesn't have to be a million dollar travelling castle. We paid 6000 dollars for the Winnebago, a few thousand as we went along fixing things that broke, sold it in Canada for 3,000. Biggest expense, not having any income at all. Spent a good slice of our life savings, best money ever spent we still think. Go for it, drive the roads, see more of your fantastic country, meet the people. Thank you Everyone Brian and Nora Williamson

Some of us do, all of the time.

Every junkyard has a bunch of chevys in it. The fords made it home lol.

@@pfpdlt the fords got scrapped, because no-one cares.

@@pfpdlt if you want to see a Ford it can be Found On Road Dead.

And some crazy guy has all the dodges in his back yard lol

Ford's suck worthy for good scrap thou.

Bingo! It's exactly like that!

What bout that k30 Bullet proof drive line Shame they don't build um like that anymore

A business band radio, to be exact. The frequency it is programmed to, or more likely has crystals for, is probably being used by someone else, or is not even used anymore. I really like old radios and such.

@@robertschemonia5617 correct. More than likely the crystals have drifted enough over the decades that it isn't on the correct frequency anymore anyway. But it was most likely licenced frequency.

We had those exact radios in our pickups and one at the house back in the day. Only way to communicate over a distance on the farm. I remember my mom in there “6-0-6 to 6-0-5, dinners ready,”

Thanks

Very true

The playing cards in the spokes made a interesting trip👀🔨😂😂😂😂😂😂

I've had a TON of them with worn out cam lobes, but never one with a worn out fuel pump lobe. The cam lobes have a TON more spring pressure on them than the fuel pump lobe does, and they would be the ones to go first. A guy can depress a fuel pump lever by hand, but not a valve spring, especially through a 1.5 ratio rocker arm.
