WILL IT RUN? '66 CHEVY 1 TON SITTING FOR 15 YEARS!!! 

That thing is for the cowboy hat.

That 66 is in incredible shape. I like all the builds but I'd really like to see you finish the blue and white Dodge. Thanks for the great content.

Looks like it's gonna be an awesome build, can't wait to see what you do with it.

Weird Beard, That's a "Hat Saver", invented by my neighbor in Elgin, Texas. His name was Ralph Thompson. He was a farmer and the Morman's cattle supplement representative for our area. What a hoot!!! Your 1966 Cheve has a Hat Saver in it.

I had a 66 C-10 that i used as my class project in the mid 90s when i took Automachanics at the Jr. College . We went thro every part of that truck in class , and i did the cosmetics at home . I got alot of parts from LMC and they worked well . My truck had been painted a nice blue with white bumpers and grill so i put white spoke 15x8 rims with chrome centers and lug nuts with 235/75/15 blk wall tires . I painted the inside blk , put a saddle blanket seat cover that was blue and blk. , and got some OE carpet in blue . That truck sure came together nice , so i really like that 66 your working on !!

I can't wait for the next one! It's hard to find a body in that condition. Great job Mike!

Watching you take out all of those spider webs with a stick, reminded me of Shrek making cotton candy for princess Fiona.

That ‘66 is looking awesome! That is a great start for you. I like the flatbed idea. Maybe a mix of wood and steel? I haven’t seen one of those cowboy hat holders since the ‘80’s. I’m on board with this like I am with the Fury and the Datsun. Very cool. Can’t wait to see what you end up with. Best have a retro Weird Beard logo on the doors. 😂

thats a great old truck mike, I can't wait too see you work your magic on it. very exciting

i HAVEN'T SEEN A HAT RACK LIKE THIS IN YEARS, THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS OLD GAL.

No matter what content it’s always exciting watching! Do your thing even if just cleaning the property

That metal thing in the middle of the roof is for hanging up your hat. Usually a cowboy hat.

It's almost like a blank canvas and you are the Artist.

Wow. Thats Amazing for a Truck that sat for years.

2:41 Cowboy hat holder and with a gun rack. KEWL!

And THAT right there is why the small block chevy IS the best engine of all time.

That little v8 may only be making 170 to 220 hp, but it sure sounds great. That glass pack exhaust sounds just proper v8!

That engine sounds damned healthy. I cannot believe it ran on gasoline and rodent pee lol. Great stuff as usual Beard!

Wow, what a great old truck! Awesome starting point for sure! I can't wait to see more of this one.

66 is my favorite Chevy truck I was born in 66 hade one for years wish I never sold it it was all original with the in line six and two speed power glide

Another amazing video, you are the best. (no selling shoes, vitamin juice, junk yard tours...or Ebike reviews). ONLY one I subscribe to..................................NH OLDFART

Nice WB! 76K now! That rig was legit and still is.

Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Weird Beard 4 this video introduction to this truck. The truck is already awesome, that engine is clean and sounds great. Anxiously awaiting on the next vid and the vids thereafter, you're top notch at what you do no matter the vehicle.

Glad to be Part of the channel now brother. You came across my feed as you were doing the bed now I'm coming back and watching all your past episodes. 🤘

Them old small block Chevys just wanna run!; they just don't die!

I look forward to seeing this truck get back on the road, this is my favorite Chevy styles.😁😁👍👍

Awesome truck and all it needs is some of the WB magic to bring it back to life.

Love the old truck build 😊 Maybe since you have so much extra exhaust parts make the bed out of exhaust tubing that would look cool aka mad max style . If you want to make wiring easy just mount a toggle switch panel and have it like Nascar and flip them switches 😂

Love these old truck restorations Jimmy,Making it work is doing a 62 c10

As it has been said Mike the ole Motor in that Truck sounds really good you say did not expect it to start run and idle it's a CHEVROLET they always run great nothing beats them

That is a heavy duty one ton it was a either a tow rig or camper special as they called the once upon a time. I am thinking that it was a tow truck with those leaf packs on it. I hope that you have a good morning and great day. Watching the show before I go to work this morning.

That’s for your Stetson. I think you should have bought a lottery ticket that day Mike 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nice to see a Chevy on the channel!

Mike, we'll make a great shop truck for picking up heavy items. Plus it'll be fun to drive!

Nice and love them old trucks. This will be an awesome and amazing project. Love it brother. Can't wait to watch this progress.

Ok little brother that thing on the roof inside is a cowboy hat holder. Keep up the good work

Here comes the rain in Pennsylvania this morning.

That's a great running small block and the truck is in wonderful condition you got a great foundation and you can make a alsome truck so keep on keeping on

Koool old truck . Flatbed, winch and a boom 👍👍👍🇺🇸

Well from growing up in Texas I know that’s a cowboy hat holder and I love the gun rack

i love this truck i will swap the suspension and find a nice bed, paint the truck orange and black ....dude that style is awesome

192nd! GOOD MORNING MIKE! Hope all is well! Your projects have been fun to watch. A new one is always interesting! I see a year of work on this truck in your future. But it will be fun to watch! I’m willing to bet your subscribers will be sending parts and pieces to help the rebuild. I know I will help if I can. Roger in Pierre South Dakota

Back in the early 80s after Urban Cowboy came out , here in Texas the cowboy hat holder was in a lot of the pickups .

It's a cowboy hat holder. Love the truck hope you finish it.

I am excited for this build! WB's new daily!

I think one video you need to go through and give an update on all the projects hold ups and future builds and such. Love that truck though!

Other RU-vidrs: Lets go to the salvage yard and find a project. Weird Beard: I've got a lifetime of projects right here. Lets take a walk!

The two-tone white over orange in the door jamb looks like it was a U-Haul truck when new.

Unbelievable 😮 And even more Unbelievable that you're excited. I am obviously Not a mechanic. 😅

Cool truck, can't wait for the next video!

Amazing job!! Can’t believe it ran just like that!!

Good effort Mike. I think you have a good truck there. Engine sounds good, not making clanking or clacking sounds at all. 😁

That is going to be a cool wrecker. Thanks for the video.

Thanks WB always happy to see you put up a new vid for us

This is going to be a great builder can't wait for the outcome

Didn't think it would sound so good, so cool.

Love that truck- what a find !

the thumnail made it look like an indie game 😆

Can't wait for the next one . Thanks WB

Best youtube channel hands down...thanks brother for the content...keep up the great work

Oh man a homemade flat bed a winch and slam it in the weeds hell yeah and from the looks of that door jam it is an old uhaul truck

What a nice starter project .

Nice work getting it running again…

Awesome job!!!

Great video dude. Look forward to this 66 project. It was great to see and hear the fury

It looks like another diamond in the rough,.... or at least a Zircon. LOL I can see ya smiling already!

That thing is stellar!

Sweet I had my fingers crossed when u tried starting her and when she fired right up I was like yesssss damn good truck can’t wait for the next video 👍👍

It would be nice to find a bed for it and some dually fender’s that you can mount on the bed !! And thanks for another , Brother !!

You're the coolest, Mike! Love your channel! Thanks for the great content!

Great project series.

Love those trucks!! My grandma and grandpa had a 65. I grew up in it.

I really do enjoy your content keep up the great work

Gun rack and the cowboy hat rack. Yes sir !

Cowboy hat rack. I put one in one of my vehicles back in the early 90’s.

This is going to be fun. Best of luck.

Neat looking truck!

Remember not to forget the shock that was not bolted on the driver's side

Love it!!

Looks like a fun project.

That truck sounds wicked good!!

She sounds good Mike 👍

Hat holder. My dad was a texas game warden back in the day. It was one in his truck

Looks as it was a old u haul with the orange and white in door jamb. And the thing in the cab is for storing a cowboy hat so you do t crush it on head liner

Great video !!!! Luv that old truck !!!!!

Cool old chevy :)

That's gonna make a bad little truck man I love it and it's solid as hell yeah buddy i think you have a good one

Good to see another video, Mike. That that old GM power. That looks like a pretty near new fuel tank.

That a cowboy hat holder son! Any rancher worth his merit owned one.

Good looking truck

Your place is a Gold Mine! You could build a whole classic fleet out of the vehicles over there.🤣 Love the content as usual!!!

Nice ride Man.

Wired Beard !!!! Pickup man . Cowboy hat holder .
