I Bought a Big Block GMC Over the Phone!🤦‍♂️#c10 

Boy, I've grown old. Never thought that o ring for a 350 turbo wouldn't have been on the shelf. Used to have them laying in my shop, new and used. Late 80's. Love your channel! Brings back memories.

I really like this truck. It reminds me of one my grandpa had.😊

Can never go wrong with a big block.

Good to see you

That's a dream truck for me. Especially having a big block.

Nice find. I wish you success in your new project. Thank you for sharing video. God bless from west Texas.

Beautiful sunset with the truck sitting there. Good luck getting it where you want it. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

Snap of success! So satisfying. Looking good Kent. ✨✅✨

You finally got a good truck!!! Love the 67-72’s! Can’t wait to see the finished product running right with a decent exhaust system and different rims!! Keep it coming!!

What a picture, dad, a boy and his dog.

I too have a 2-post lift and no matter what vehicle I lift with it I always use both stands. It makes me feel safer and I'm sure it's a good idea. I had a 1973 GMC 3/4 ton, and it was a good truck., but I love the '70 I've had since 1976.

That is a good looking old truck and it didn't sound bad

Good looking trucks enjoy them all

Kent, this was awesome and you are the guy I would want to work on my cars. What a great truck there. I don't like the sound either, you can make it sound a lot better. AJ thanks for helping dad with this truck , good job buddy. See you next time.

Day job….heck, I thought this was your day job!😂

Outside head lamp is low beam. Inside lamp plus outside together are high beam!

No way I love those wheels!!💗😎👍

Single chamber mufflers would sound awesome on that engine 👌

Straight and Sweet ! --- Nice find, Kent ! --- You could melt down all three rear bumpers and make yourself 4 Mini-Coopers ! 🤣🤣🤣 -- You Guys Stay Safe And Say Hi To #1 Son

Unless those are shorter rear air shocks, they're going to bottom out without using shock mount extenders. DJM sells the shock mounts on their website.

On the front of the carburetor should be a vacuum port for the distributor. Awesome video

Really cool old truck! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! That’s one of my favorite body styles! Awesome!

The 5 lug stuff came on 71 and 72, with disc brakes. Often older trucks are updated with totaled out 71/72, or square body stuff. All three of those bumpers are dealer installed or owner installed, so the ford and GMC matching is possible. GMC trucks did in fact usually came with leafs in back, with coils being optional, the Chevy usually came with coils and optional leafs. The 69 gmcs were an oddity where coils were standard and leafs were optional like Chevy. 4:01

AT 14:33 you can see a hole in the case where you are trying to pull the retaining ring from. All you have to do is shove a small phillips screw driver in the hole and push the ring enough to get a small screw driver under the ring to remove. Pushing down the piston is really not required for removal.

Man I love this one, Kent!!! Looks really clean, and a lot of the work is already done! Great job on the tranny...I didn't know there was a helper hole to get that spring clip out either, but I'm glad we know now! lol.... Gonna be a ripper with that heavy rat motor up front and those rear wheels waaaay back there....Burnout special! Great to see ole AJ out there working hard too! Fun Video!

It looks like a good candidate for a full-on restoration, for someone who’s into that. Except keep the lowering kit and the 454! It would look familiar, but there wouldn’t be another like it. Maybe just a dream, but a good one. Love seeing the factory firewall graffiti, they’re a little reminder that it was built by people on the line, not robots.

Pretty nice truck. I'm jealous. 🤣

Love the GMC man

You scored on this one! Great find 👌🏼

Oh i love this truck. My first truck was just like it

Love it and the wheels and tires look good

Love the GMC

Another great video Kent. If you look back on the video when your trying to get the circlip out you would see a small hole on the side, which you slide circlip around enough to put a straight head pick through the hole then you get a screwdriver or another pick and pop out the clip. Saginaw power steering pumps have the design. I did power steering for 15 years. Bought memories back of fighting to get those clips out when there rusted in. Hope it make sense what lm saying. Watching from 🇳🇿

Hey SBG, i notice that when you turn on ur head lights, the high beam comes on. cool looking truck. AJ and ur dog like it..

That's gonna make really nice truck!

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing it running good!!

That's a mint and happy new year 2023🎉

Nice truck it’s got a good start to her just needs some tlc not a big fan of lower trucks but that’s just me

I had a Chevrolet identical to that same color same year it had a 350 and it kept falling a spark plug on cylinder 6 I traded it for a 78 Ford with a 300 6 cylinder in it now that truck run like a dream it was my daily driver for about a year now I own them two trucks in like 2012 cuz I love classic trucks and that's what I drive everyday

A common problem on those is that dimmer switch. Wet boots with snow, ice salt corrode the switch and when they go bad your lights go out while driving.the turbo 350 might be ok for cruising but the 400 turbos are what gm used I believe

I had a 69 3/ 4 ton I love that body stile thats a good looking truck

Takes me back a bit, My 70 Chevy had leaf springs to.

so auto talented. hope the boys learn it all. must have skill.

We don’t ever have anything like that on my local marketplace. I see a few fords from time to time for several thousand dollars rusted out and not running.

Love the truck, I just bought a mist green 67 c10. I’m looking forward to your future videos. Your little boy reminded me of my son who is now 24. He always helped me with my projects and today he’s hooked on cars and trucks too.

Kent, I like the looks of the truck. I do like the low look. You continue to amaze me with your ability to diagnose problems with the vehicles you pick up for projects. You have identified quite a bit of body problems. Do you work on those or do you have a body person to handle those? Like your other projects, I look forward to following this project. Thanks for sharing this finding.

great looking GMC, I have always liked the GMC grills more than the Chevy grills

That little hole on the side of the accumulator housing is for using a little punch to unseat the snap ring

Good old work truck

Good condition truck, considering it's age. All the rust spots are typical of that age GM trucks. I'm a fan of the '64-66 models myself, but the '70's models are also pretty cool. Good looking engine! I'd probably swap out the tranny for a GM TH400, myself, as the 350 was designed for small block engines. Yeah, it works great with a big block. I'd just be more comfortable with the 400, as parts are more easily available for it.

Good.jop 👍👍👍👏👏👏

I’m commenting as we go on this vid… I love these trucks and spent 20 years thinking nothing but 67-72 trucks. 20:17 the headlight issue is most likely the push button dimmer switch. Click it a few times and we if they come on. Then order a new one before they aren’t available. It’s like a $20 part I think. It was 7 bucks 12 years ago anyways.

You ought to see the bumper on my 77 bonanza. That thing is heavy

Very cool truck! Love it! Thank you for the video!

Nice truck!

Great video

I'M IN LOVE !!! 🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Still Waiting for SIM Card 🥴. Pretty 😍. JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️☃️

Great video Kent. Made me laugh out loud on the speed up part. Ha.

That's about the only year of gmc I'd have I really like the old Ford trucks 67-79 they are the best truck made

Great truck i always find cheap vehicles my local Facebook market place ,have 70 f100,77 grand prix,81 C 10,84 crown Victoria Station wagon, 78 Lincoln Mark 5 all a $1000 or less

Dude the vacuum advance is only for cruising and gas mileage it advances it out to over 40 deg under light load you need to set the timing for total advance of about 30 or 34 deg and if it starts good leave it alone then the vacuum advance you may have to limit it cuz it may take it too far but to see base timing at 15 or 20 deg is not gonna hurt it as long as it starts good there are a lot of factors that affect advance fuel compression etc but don't put the vacuum advance on manifold vacuum it goes on a vacuum port above the base plate if it is in manifold vacuum when you floor it it looses vacuum and will rob power ported vacuum is where it goes so when you give it light throttle it gets vacuum and works look up some videos on it you'll see

Love it nice truck looks great

Awesome truck .

Nicely done, you have an awesome shop. Great content.👍Gotta love a BBC truck.

Good looking truck Kent. Hi Aj

I think the buzzing noise means you can't move the bus until the deasil warms up

That's a long, low, mean, green, machine!

Only thing I would fix right away are the lights and side markers. And you'll need a heater box, core and hoses. It irks me when people remove those hard to find parts.

Sweet truck.

Nice truck Kent!!

That's a nice old GMC. It wouldn't take much at all to make that a daily driver

I think that there are 4 lights on high and one on each side for low

Sweet truck!

Like your videos

Sweet truck

That is an awesome truck, mate 👌

If Bumpsides are your thing I’ll trade ya a completely rebuilt 69 F100 for that GMC. I’m a Chevy guy and somehow ended up with a Bumpside.

I can hear that cam.that truck will get it.that motor needs something simple the deal with that vacuum hose to the distributor.nice truck though

Awesome truck brother

Check out the high beam low beam switch

Not that many 350 turbos on the road. Statement that hurts. 😢

❤️❤️❤️❤️

The cab is a 69/70, the grill is a 71/72… 5:02

I am vote for a brake job video

Should have stopped at a transmission shop that's been around for a long time they would have had the o ring kicking around

No replacement for displacement!!

Ford's are cheaper cause they're inferior. Im a Mopar but that's one of the most beautiful trucks ever built!🤤 And with a big block? I would put a bag ol thumpin cam in it.

Jacks truck

Dats money

Hey Kent

Check tire for nail or screw

The chevy will sell fast .. sounds like timing is low

your a pumper ,, need let all engines rev to some happy rpm ,, smooth ,, and run ,,, warm up,, watch this vid ,you pump it all the time , of corse its guna load up ,, nice truck ..

Can I ask why,there is 1.2 million subs,and low views 34,000.😊

I'd put a 400 trans in it

What is that silver car you have over there it had its hood up?? Is that your next project?😊

Change the rims

Kent, what would you take for it as is ? You can keep the 454

Or can you find one that needs a motor, I've got a 300 horse, 350 4 bolt main that needs a home
