Gloves found are used to for electrical breakers 480v or higher worn when racking breaker in or out used many at where I used to work a power plant… love your channels 👍
When I first saw the dirty old rusty truck on the thumbnail. I thought you had been metal detecting on "The Old Byrd Farm" and dug up a long lost relic of Uncle Kens .
I was questioning my sanity for watching you clean out a truck, then you got to the pressure washing part, then I understood 😁 satisfying stuff there. Good luck, I hope y'all find an engine and get some good muddin in 🩷
I am sure Ms Melissa is glad to know he doesn't have to buy these things, that people will drop them off for him. Giving them a good home, so to speak. I really hope they do get it running as I would really like to see it on the dirt roads with Robert's truck.
My dad had a 76 GMC Sierra in sky blue with white top and camper shell. It was a 250 I-6 with the 3 on the tree. Hope you guys get this one running again. That was a fun video. 👍
It's absolutely amazing how many of these trucks are STILL on the road! My brother had a 1973 or 74, gold and white, floor stick shift, 2 wheel drive. Half ton I think. I've always liked them since then and since driving it.
Based on the dash, side markers (vertical) and gas filler cap (no door) that's a 73 - 76 GMC . Its a 3/4 ton (K20) based on the eight lug wheels. Dana 44 front axle, Corporate 14 bolt full float rear (GM's version of the Dana 60). New Process (NP) 205 transfer case (based on the locking front hubs). Probably a 350 SBC 4 bolt main and 350 turbo trans. The front springs and mounts have been modified too. Originally the springs were fairly flat. Being a mid 70s truck that's not rusty at all (compared to most). They rusted sitting in the showroom😂 I have a 1975 Chevy just like that one. Great truck! That one could be too. Great video.
That looks like a late 70s, I had a ‘79 and ‘84 4x4s. Love them old trucks. That one there will have the old cast housing transfer case and transmission if it’s a 3speed with low(granny gear). Never mind, I see it’s an automatic but it will still have the cast transfer case. Great truck
LOL I know I am a 70+ retired Mechanic. I went to a antique car show recently and left early most of the cars and trucks there I worked on when I was 20 to 40 YRS. old
high voltage gloves! that is why you have 2 layers, leather and butyl gloves. usually quite expensive. they get re certified every 5 or 10 years . just like high pressure cylinders.
I'd love to have those Alabama license plates. I have a small collection of plates, but they are mostly from my past vehicles, and some family vehicles. When I worked at a campground in 1988 (I think), the company truck was a 1987 Chevy, same body style as that one. It was only 2 wheel drive though. In the mid 2010s my Dad had a 1986 model with a newer engine. In the 70s the pastor of our church had a `68 Chevy truck with 3-on-the-tree. I remember that truck well, because I rode in it. You could see the road through the big holes in the floor. I showed you a picture of my Ford truck in the fan group. I wish I could have brought it to you or your friend. Then it could have been rescued. I junked it a couple years ago.
I OREDERED A SHIRT FROM YOU AND I REALLY LIKE IT. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED THAT WAS NOTHING FROM YOU. THOUGHT YOU MITE SAY THANKS FOR THE ORDER. I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS EVERY NITE. I SO ENJOY THEM. THANKS SO MUCH.
At least the doors close. My husband had a truck that had to have boards put in between the cab and bed. That way the doors would close. Looks better after cleaned.
My heart skipped a beat after the pressure wash. Fixing it to at least the point of driving and not falling through it would be worth the work ha ha. That's hilarious at the crap y'all found in the cab ha ha.
Check auto parts stores you found a replacement motor and transmission for $3,000.00. A friend brought a motor and transmission in for a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban 5.7 350 motor and transmission
Fishing worms in the truck bed; rat’s nest under the seat; corroded ammunition; mold in the truck bed; sweaty, stained shirt on the floorboard; and Robert licked the nickel found in there. I wasn’t totally surprised, honestly. 😉 Your immune system is amazing! I do love the truck tho! My Dad had a tool box just like that in the back of his truck when I was a kid. Loved this video!
It’s actually a funny story, Louis and I were supposed to go somewhere, when I got to his house to pick him up this was sitting on a trailer in his driveway. The guy had just stopped by to offer it to him moments before I got there. So I started looking at it with Louis, in the mindset that neither one of us needed it…….. I reluctantly asked the guy, “how much do you want for it?” When he said the price, I said “oh, you gotta get this!” A gentlemen never tells the price he paid, but let’s just say…. It was less than $500…. 😉
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG Im thinking a visit to a junkyard would be usefull for the truck. Might find good panels and that missing front grill, headlights, engine, transmission, larger wheels, square lights for the top of that rollbar...its a shame how US 🛻 were never impotted in Europe...anyway that would be cool off roader.👍
What a dig!! Hey Louis, been a while since you were on. Ride in it? This a gotta see! It's all relative, and any number of comments, LOL!! You kill me, Robert. Rats, always rats. Worms can crawl, Robert. The speakers are hilarious, but if it works! Beautify it, by pressure washing! 😂 The gloves appear to be for working on electrical equipment and rated and certified for voltage level protection. So what did you name the truck? I did have a vision while watching this... a vision of you, Robert, under the hood that is. 😅🤣👍👍
That truck is not bad. All the areas the rust is at there are replacement parts. I’m in Minnesota and believe or not there are still some old square body Chevys on the road. Some are nice or 50% of it is rusted out. I have a 1967 Chevy c10 with a 350 and granny low 4 speed. Originally had a 283 that was locked up when I got it. I got my truck from a neighbor down the street and it was sitting for 30 years but the rust was about the same as your friends truck. I replaced the whole floorboard, cab corners, and rocker panels then I had it undercoated. Anyway, I hope you guys get it going soon so y’all can go on some off road adventures on those rugged Georgia dirt roads.
You guys should invite @jenningsmotorsports to come on down and get her running. “She’s been sitting since the Iron Age, but with a little PB Blaster, we will get her driving’ again”
@@THEOLDBYRDFARMVLOG You weren't even alive in 1984 and by the looks of that nickel you won't be alive much longer either. Ask Dan if that's how you get dysentery. Pretty sure it is.
