Can I Save This Broken LED Garage Light From The Trash?
Hi Richard, I just watched this older video post and that one piece you said may not go to the car, but I think it does look like a door glass window roller, but missing the rubber roller. Check on the top of the door on the inside under where the garnish moulding goes to see if there should be 2 place where the holes in the flat plate should lineup for mount it with screws. Two were used, one towards the wing window and one before the door lock knob. Hope all is going good. Stay safe. Tony
Well it's a good thing I didn't toss anything. I'm going to have to dig that piece out & take a look. Thank Tony.
Richard to bad the plan fell apart - remember to go the way the crow (escrow) flies. Is the Rambler American moving too? Lots of places to buy up north !
I will remember that. Oh yeah the American is coming with. I can't wait to get going on that one. If I could move that far north I would. That's the dream!
This one's good ruclips.net/video/2UcVo0Z9id8/видео.html
I bought a property a couple years ago that came with a 61 Apache. My neighbor who is related to the family that owned the property before told me the truck has been on that propery since new. Intersting story and gives some motivation to work on it. It is very rough and has the stright 6 like your Chevy. Mine is not a stepside and paint is the light blue top and white on bottom. The owner RIP was the Chief of the Native tribe there.
That's incredible. Thanks for sharing that.
I am having problems on a 2010 atv. So do you think this is what is making the carb leak from the drain when the choke is on, then shut off when trying to turn the choke off?
Do you mean gas is coming out of the overfill tube? If so, the float inside the carb is probably stuck. Tapping on the outside of the float bowl with a screwdriver might knock it loose.
Washer goes on the side that moves - with the wrench/ratchet. Holding the nut - put it on the bolt side - holding the bolt - put it on the nut side. If you have a lock washer it goes on the side that doesn't move for ease of assembly. If you have 2 washers throw one out - it will come loose.
or put waher on both sides
Wow dang good job I'm going to be using that trick for sure. Thank You.
No problem!

This would better if actually knew what the hell you were doing...
Thanks for the confidence boost!
Hi Richard. I wonder if your PO Box would accept a driveshaft in a tube if I were to send you one of my extras out to you? I also have a List6210 Holley Spread Bore 650 CFM that should be gone through for your 350, if you are interested. As always, love watching your videos. Stay safe!!
Wow I definitely would need to buy those parts from you. I'd have to ask the post office. I might snag a carb that's ready to go just to save time. The guys I got the trans from are huge tri five guys so I'm going to ask them if they have a driveshaft laying around to sell. They're about an hour drive from me. I'll try them first. The shipping costs on a driveshaft would be insane especially through USPS. I appreciate you as always.
Yeah fuel line cud be the problem but I know for fact if you put good insulated spacer under carb it stops that keeps heat away from carb preventing vabor lock
That's a good idea.
Thanks much! Brings back some great memories.
You're welcome. That's one of the reasons I make these videos.
Wow!! I’d love to go!👍😁
I love your videos. You are the best!! Some info on your radio from an electronics engineer. Early GM solid state (transistor) radios use a class A output stage. They are more easily damaged by no load (no speakers) than they are a dead short. 4-ohm speakers are no problem for this radio. The fact that the radio lights up just indicates that the dial light bulb id OK. If you get a radio station with a speaker attached, you are good. You probably already found out by now. Anyway, as I said earlier your videos are without a doubt the best car videos I have seen, at least in my opinion. Thank you for a great job!
Thanks so much for the kind words & for the useful information. I really do appreciate it.
Thought I’d come back to this after putting it to the test, and… thank you Sir. Took about the third of the time, and effort haha.
Awesome! That's neat to hear. You're welcome.
😂
Don't care if you invented this method, it is awesome, and you saved me a lot of aggravation tape and time. Thank you, brother.
You're welcome!
Both.
I have an old snap on kra21 2 drawer box that is my main tool box I use minimal tools but good tools. When you have good stuff you don’t absolutely need a lot of extra cheap stuff or that’s just me
I agree.
Had a 49 Chevrolet 6400, dump bed, straight 6, 2 speed rear end. Not a hint of rust. What a beautiful vehicle. Purchased it in Kansas as it was listed on ebay.. DId a lot of work on it all new brakes,pressure plate, clutch etc. Did not have too much room for it so I made the huge mistake of selling it, and have regretted it ever since. Need to keep my eye opened for another 6400 of the late 40's.
Thanks for sharing that. I hope you find one & get lots of enjoyment out of it. I appreciate you watching.
Hopefully the trans fits in the blast cabinet ok😁 I am also OCD about cleaning and refurbishing everything even if you can not see it on the car.
Oh blasting the trans! Didn't think of that.
I love the sound of the gear whine. Sounds just like our '54 2-ton.
There's nothing better.
Suppose it also possible to brush teeth using your Feet . BUT why ?? would you risk filling the block with grind debris ??
It should not be risked. I did it with my own engine because I'm pretty good at it & to show it can be done if necessary.
Dude. You should rehearse before you record.
Not a bad idea.
lol yeah I got .75 cent dishwasher rough but works
Hello freeman your the best thanks for sharing thank you ken
Thanks for being here
i have 3 1967 samsonites in the attic . you sure get up early
Gotta beat the sun up.
I bet the long red one is also a surveyors box. Probably fits the tripod. One leg into a locating slot on one end, the head in a centered locating slot on the other end.
That could be. You make sense. We will never know though.
Man, thanks for the video, enjoyed the commentary, can we be neighbors? same garage style, same stuff falling off the bench, very normal things...lolol
That's funny. It's just life I guess. You're welcome for the video. Thanks for watching it.
Hey man I have a few questions regarding the truck! I’m restoring the same one and have come across a little speed bump!
What's up?
@@freemansgarageextra essentially the issue I am facing is when I start the truck up as long as I’m holding onto the key in the start position it fires up….the second I let go and it goes into the run position it turns off. Not sure what the issue is. Maybe you’d know?
@@kd20902 Does your truck have the factory push button like mine as seen on the regular Freeman's Garage channel in this video ruclips.net/video/MbCvgCc_7EQ/видео.htmlsi=L7ilep0MRhpGAuED & this video ruclips.net/video/FAznf1EN19w/видео.htmlsi=kljtf2uLiH149mnc
@@freemansgarageextrano it’s a turn key switch
Almost impossible to say without seeing it in person or knowing if it has been converted to 12v etc. After working on mine, the ignition system on these trucks seems to be about the same as any other 6v points ignition system. I would make sure every wire on the key switch, coil, distributor/points, starter, starter solenoid & battery are clean, unbroken, tight & in the correct positions. A couple wires might be swapped around causing your issue. I'd also use a test light to see when & where you have or don't have power when turning & releasing the key. If you bypassed the key switch by running a hot wire directly to coil from battery, used a couple wires or remote start switch to put power to the starter solenoid & the engine starts & stays running, that would be significant. That would make me believe your coil, distributor/points, starter & starter solenoid are not the culprit. It would then assume the key switch is worn out or its wires are loose or wired wrong. I really hope that helps. I will answer any questions you have if I don't somehow miss them.
I had a 1960 Rambler American station wagon. Boy, what a primitive car.
I agree. Primitive is the word. A wagon must have been neat.
@@freemansgarageextra I think I got the car for $40. Lived in the SF Bay Area. One night me and 2-3 pals were coming back from a concert in SF, and they were giving me a pile of crap about my car as we were coming over the crest on the SF Bay bridge. I of course had to defend my Ramblo. I got about 2 sentences out and BLAM, the driveshaft U-joint let go. Luckily it was the dff end, so no driveshaft coming up through the floorboards and I was able to coast a mile or more and pull off the road safely. Believe it or not, the diff end U-joint ended up offset, only one arm of the fork stayed engaged, and I was actually able to drive it home. Modest amount of vibration, LOL. Now that's RAMBLO RELIABILITY!!
Wow. That's incredible. I could see the movie in my head reading that. Thanks for sharing that.
@@freemansgarageextra As I recall, one arm of the rear yoke broke off, and the cross was gone. I had some steel wire in the car for some reason and I wired the front half of the U joint to the rear best I could on the side of the road. It worked! But from then on the two halves of the U joint would get offset and I could drive like 21 mph. At 22 mph, the driveshaft got offset and would bang against the driveshaft tunnel, the car sounded like a power hammer going down the street. It was pretty comical.
My advice to you get rid of the cast iron bell housing and Saginaw transmission. Get an after market bell housing and at least a Muncie 4 speed.
I hear ya. Working within the budget at the moment. I can swap later.
Nice supporters. Very kind of them.
There’s happy & kind people out there.
Tackle box! On a classic?! May your worms all escape!

Really bad idea that cast iron bell housing. When it breaks the trans hits the ground, the engine hits the ground, the clutch comes through the floor & the driveshaft is shrapnel. Been there, done that. Really bad idea...
I'll keep that in mind. Thaks for taking the time to let me know.
12:00 I believe the ID-number you are looking for is stamped on the flat surface right under your hand in this shot. On the edge of the casing. That is where it was on my old Saginaw. Mine was way smaller than yours, and had the reverse shifter lever in the tailhousing and not on the side-cover like yours. I dont know which type you have to be honest.
Thanks for taking the time to tell me that. I'm just going with it's from a Vega or a Monza.
m.ruclips.net/video/4LhkeFTjhDg/видео.html&pp=iAQB
While Saginaw transmissions are definitely not as tough as a Muncie, they are still a pretty darn good transmission that gets little respect. I used to have one in my 55' Chevy and had a 400HP small block in front of it. It got beat on hard and never had an issue. They are cheap and easy to rebuild too. The worst issue with them was usually they came with a shit factory shifter. One missed shift with some power can frag them. A good Hurst Shifter makes a huge difference. I have a couple of those 3.11 first gear Saginaws. One is currently in my wife's Buick. It works great. 3 and 4 speed Saginaws use the same case. The transmissions were used in all kinds of cars including Chevelles, Novas, Camaros, Vegas, monza's and their other gm Siblings as well as trucks and vans. It will work well to get you up and running and should serve you well.
You must not ever drive that car hard or that choice of trans would tend to show it's weaknesses. I'm a child of the 70's as I was born in 60 and every person I know as well as all racers used a top loader Ford trans for every car over about 300 HP. Due to case flex on Saginaw and Muncie GM trannies the synchros are constantly getting torn up. The worst one being the "rock crusher" Muncie being named that because after about 2 hard shifts it sounds like a box of rocks. It wasn't because they were strong. Oh and I'm a 35 yr Senior Master ASE so I try to help people help themselves. Life's to short to replace trannies all the time.
Thanks for sharing that. I'll be running an older Hurst shifter. I also won't beat the living tar out of the thing.
thats 57 clutch stuff it as a working group will work on a 56 if you need a clutch bushing get 57 parts the throw out arm is 57 also they are different but will work
the 57 z bar throw out arm on a 57 are actually better than a 55 56 cause they are stuck together if you snap a 55 56 return spring parts can fall onto the road that will not happen with the 57 set up also checkout the tranny mounts they should bolt rite on at the lower corners of the bell the truck mounts and tranny bolt up and shape is different that guy nmay be correct cant tell from the angle those are the same as the early camaro trannys but have a higer top gear i have one in my 57 sedad works great but then again i do not pull hhole shots i strongly sugest the same for the 56
Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I appreciate the info. I'm 99.9% certain the bellhousing is for a passenger car. But I'm not going to say anyone is wrong because I don't know it all. We'll find out I guess.
THIS Bell Housing IS FOR A TRUCK YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE THE REAR MOUNTS.
How so? It looks like a passenger car bellhousing to me. I appreciate you saying something.
@@freemansgarageextra Truck bellhousings have a larger hole for the locating register so double check that the Saginaw fits tight in the hole when bolting to the case. The late 50s and early 60s truck bellhousings look very similar to the Tri five style ones.
@@freemansgarageextra THE ANGLE OF THE TRUCK BELL-HOUSINGS IS DIFFERENT AT THE BOTTOM WHERE THE MOUNTS BOLT TO THE FRAME. Try to put on the mounts and bolt it in the frame without the motor bolted to it. This will tell you real quick if it is a Truck or not. You can also run the numbers on the Bell-housing.
@@bcavmechanic You are referring to the diameter of the front collar on the transmission. There are some of those cast iron bellhousings that use the smaller diameter collar and some use the larger collar. On the Saginaw three speeds the collar is interchangeable and I had a friend of mine who took a cast iron bellhousing put it in hie 68 El Camino (he was changing over from automatic to 4spd and the hole in the bellhousing was for the larger collar but he just used the transmission bolts to keep the transmission in line (although I am sure his clutch runout was out some) and he drove it for years. How do I know this? Well he was a good friend and I knew the car from when he bought it and I now have the car. He modified the bellhousing so that he could use the starter mount to the engine block. I have just replaced the flywheel ring gear and had a bellhousing with the smaller pilot (cast iron) for Chevrolet truck and have a starter for the bellhousing mount as well. I would have preferred to use the proper bellhousing but did not want to buy the proper bellhousing for the larger flywheel. The car has a Muncie 4speed and it appears that i could have robbed a collar from the Saginaw 3 speed units I have but opted not to.
@@jjdriver55 Yeah it has been a long time but I bought a V8 from the same friend back in 1971 and of course the 56 Chevrolet I had was a six cylinder three speed and of course the bellhousings are different. So I acquired a V8 bellhousing from my friend and was able to use the rear mounting brackets to the frame that I had actually replaced when I had the six cylinder engine in the car. What the fellow shows in the video look to be the rear engine/bellhousing mounts. Like I said it has been over fifty years since I did that swap so memory can be a little foggy. The acid test is like you suggested see if the bellhousing will mount up with that arraignment.

Richard you scored big time. I love going to swapmeets because you will never know what you will find once you are there! Years ago I had a saginaw 4 speed out of a '68 and gave it to a friend for his '56 Chevy and he loved it. I always look forward for posted videos on your progress on your projects. I enjoy watching, keep them coming.
The seller was generous with his pricing. Especially with people these days asking for more & more each day. That’s good to hear your friend liked the Saginaw. Hopefully I have a good experience as well. I thank you for your continued support & I appreciate everything you have done for Freeman’s Garage & myself.
Hi Richard, you got a good deal, and that's no yoke ha ha . Do you still have the white Rambler?
Yes I do & I’m chomping at the bit. Neat car with a neat story.
I u sure that trans will bolt up to that bellowing? Look like bolt holes are different to me
It will. I’ve set the trans in the bellhousing & lined it up. Also I bought all of these parts from someone who has been building tri fives for decades. He wouldn’t steer me wrong.
