I am going to see this video again and Mexican the steps you took with your truck. I think I have left a comment before that I have a 1955 1/2 ton with a 235 6 cylinder engine. Also in the works is a 1963 C10 fleet side with a V8. I can not to see the next video.
Thanks for keeping the orig 6! Anyone can shove new tech in anything - It takes a real man to find, build and restore old parts and engines! If they break down, you won't be scratching your head on the side of the highway waiting for Triple A to tow you! A set of points, and very few tools and you are back running again! 70 - 80 mph if you desire!
That brought back memories when I was 10 helping my dad put a Pontiac V8 in a 62 half ton. He bought it with a 6 banger that had a cracked block. So much of what I know today came from working with him on that truck. I washed parts in the back yard in an oil pan filled with gas. No gloves. No mask. That's how it was done back then. That looks like a very clean truck. Thank you for the video.
Yep it sure was done that way in my family as well, we never thought of metal on metal making a spark 😮 Thankfully it never happened, right... Keep On Trucking Brother👍...
Nice work as usual. Thinking when the ignition went south he had a hell of a backfire and blew the muffler up. Then probably parked it for a thirty year nap. It has woke up nice!
Wonder why it was parked. I'm doing a 63 Chevy Biscayne that sit on the farm for 42 years. I found that the exhaust pipe was smashed flat from the gravel roads it lived on. Of course at the time when you parked a car it instantly became a donor vehicle.
Great old 230 I6, older neighbor of mine told me "if it's got compression and no Rod's knocking it will run" Don Austin of Mattawan Michigan passed away, he had one of the last old Selvage Yards in our area. I have to check points rotor & cap in my 63 C10's 292 I6 after putting a different ignition Wiring Harness on it finally turned over last summer. Thanks for sharing Brother Gibs, it was great to hear Big Daddy's voice again, may God continue to bless you both each day... Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs & Big Daddy👍...
@Gibson63. I wonder why they parked that old truck? I'm happy you found it and putting her back in shape and on the road again Brother Gibs. Keep On Trucking Brother Gibs👍...
I knew it would run I have a 63 6 cylinder like yours you can let them sit for ever go out and pour some gas in the carb and they'll fire right up. thanks for the video's learning a lot
If it's an original 1963 C10 engine, 63 was the first year for the New 230 I6 cylinder engine, they also offered for the first time that year the 292 I6 cylinder engine in the 63 C10's... Keep On Trucking Brother👍...
LOL Big Daddy says u r flooding it , reminds me of something my Dad would say to me back in the day , we spent quite a bit of time together messing with those old Chevys. He would say if it’s getting fire n gas it ought to hit n run , maybe not too good though. Man I sure miss him
I have lots of the parts you need to put that back together all the clutch parts alternator bracket etc. you are more the welcome to have anything you need for free I'll ship it to you as well not sure how to send a private message I love these trucks and love your channel would love to help if you want !

@@rickallen6378 it an old Starcaster by fender great sounding guitar sounds just as good as some of my vintage guitars, homeless lady wanted 20 bucks I gave her 40 it’s a great shop guitar
@@lt.columbo5919because you can only drive it locally... that tired old straight 6 will never keep up with traffic on the interstate these days... it'll be a rolling road block...it needs a V8 swap... carburated at the very least, but a fuel injected LS would be better...
