I can attest to the statement send them through the washer. I sent mine through it twice and they didn’t work initially, but after a day or two of drying they worked again
Do you still use discord?
My raycon everyday earbuds stopped working after a year of having them, so I didn’t use them for like 3 years and they fixed themselves so you could say my earbuds are like your truck. The start and stop working!

I think he needs a blue jump suit with Kevin name tag. that'll be $200 for the tow.
Hes not very bright 😂just got lucky on you tube 😂 or hed be working at advance auto and he knos it too😂😂😂fkrr
I love when you hang out over with Tom. He's a wealth of knowledge and seems to enjoy the brews quite a bit. That's fun!
Except for his hooker advice. He had absolutely no idea how to hook up to a vehicle.

I started driving a tow truck in 1984. The oldest truck that company had was a1983 GMC 6.2L diesel. This brings me some old memories. I can clearly see you guys forgot or never drove a tow truck. The person you bought it from had a few things backwards on the wrecker body.

that, pivot arm is upside down, that why the grab hooks look weird
So I worked a Nissan dealership in the 80-90s. We had a small Nissan pu wreaker. You need two axle hooks with chains. You need a couple of large cut pieces of wood to throw under the bumpers to prevent damage. Plus s prayer and a dream. I miss those days. This dude and I loved towing cars.
"Not For Hire" decal on the doors, Keep the DOT off your back few less fines, not bad,
German guy here: Why do bigger vehicles do often have this "Not for hire" decals? I have never seen anything like that here in Europe.
@@drmetpepper6630 Larger commercial type vehicles (tow trucks, dump trucks, ect.) need special goverment permits to operate on road . "Not For Hire" is for private personal vehicles not used for business.
If you have the decal on the doors the DOT considers the truck a personal vehicle and not a commercial operation subject to more rules, regulations and fees.@@drmetpepper6630
@@drmetpepper6630 commercial vehicles have different rules to follow
@@drmetpepper6630it means the vehicle is for private use only. You’re not contracting the vehicle to do work for the general public for money. Then you’re exempt from certain commercial carrier regulations.
A good example is race car owners. And tow trucks owned by rental car companies.
It’s me! The “lady” in ladies and gentlemen! Started watching after rescuing my 1976 C25 from a field after college. These videos feel exactly like how my revival went. Late into a few Midwestern nights with a bunch of engineering friends.

You'll never go wrong with wireless towing lights. I use them on trailers. Did you know you can get LED bulbs that look like sealed beam bulbs ?

FYI, Anti-sieze is not the correct "lube" for the slides on those calipers. After a few months it dries and prevents the calipers from sliding, ask me how I know. Then you are back to burning up one pad again. I used Sil-Glyde lube on mine now and they've been good for over a year. I've got the same brakes on my 98 Metrotrans Bus.

It's always good to have a tow truck in the fleet. Preferably a flatbed, though.
But yeah it's a square body so it's a win
Takes me back to 1984 when I started a part time job at a full service gas station and we had a 1978 Chevrolet Tow Truck and a 1974 Chevrolet Dump truck both had the 350 with the granny low 4 spd. transmission. Drove them both many, many times. Loved the 4 barrel sound as a lead foot sixteen year old.
Hell yes ! Lets do this! that looks like Chris's truck from NNKH!!!

1:35 Man you got yourself a sqaure body, tow truck, AND an elephant all for $2500! 🤣
the most amazing part of this truck is how they got that damn elephant in the glove box ... i'd remember it's there before opening the damn thing, though lol
There is actually a wheel lift on that truck. Its the giant brick of steel under the boom. Various tutorials on zips actually show pretty well how to run a wrecker. As well those small wheel sets are for taking all 4 tires off the ground. I’d recommend keeping that simply for the sake of making it easier to move dead cars and not have a giant trailer in the way.
I've never been more nostalgic in a jyd video than when I saw Tom holding a nordeast. Can't get that down by me
I’m in the UK, I get into bed, and see a notification that junkyard digs has uploaded, guess I’m staying up for another hour 😎
I just went through an ignition nightmare like this. The wire that goes from the pickup coil to the HEI was broken internally.

I almost chocked on my chips when the boom busted 😂😂😂
A tip from driving Swedish 🇸🇪 salt ridden winter roads where the rims rust welds themself to the hub:
1. Loosen all wheel bolts/nuts a turn or two
2. Drive around for 45 seconds
3. and pop, the wheel is loose.
Works everytime! 😎
Don't you guys use different salt over there that rusts vehicles not as fast
Sorry, I don’t know. All I know is that it rusts pretty bad.
I do know that they experiment with different mixes of salt, water and diesel(!).
From north central Wisconsin, can confirm this works on the City of Wausau DPW salter tandem axle dump trucks. Makes a loud BANG!!! When they finally release lol
@BTGaremberg upper michigan Here and it's very similar.Definitely going to keep this trick in mind , thank you 😁
@@volvodoc01 howdy neighbor
There are adjustable rubber insulator bands you can buy that go around the outside of the disc while you're cutting new surfaces, they make it dramatically more enjoyable to be around while in use. The bottom of the tow sling (which is upside down, the handles have sheerpins in them and they point down) doesn't need to be extended unless the vehicle you're towing requires it, most don't. The E.H.Holmes Trooper 1100 Wrecker is a work horse, you'll want to raise to boom to abot a 40 degree angle to better redistribute the weight of the towed vehicle forward on the wrecker chassis (It lowers the front end on the wrecker) the lower the boom the higher the frontend lifts loaded. Dump some used oil on the cable drum, never run cable through your hands without GOOD leather gloves. when lifting a vehicle never lift the towbar with in 5' of horizontal to the ground, a panic stop will pollvault the towed vehicle into the bed and cab of your wrecker. I ran sling type light medium and heavy duty wreckers for 25 years. I love wreckers, but you can seriously f-ck some sh-t up in a hurry if you don't know what you're doing. Replace that welded pulley set up, you can buy replacement parts online, they dont fasten to anything, it just slides in the end of the boom! Good Luck, Have fun!!!
pretty obvious they didnt know what they were doing.
Sounds logical that the pulley assembly doesn't screw to the boom. It is always compressed by the cable.
Couple of J hooks, some magnet tow lights, not for hire on the side, and you’ll be all set to go.
That quadrajet moan when those secondaries opened up, the best part of a quadrajet.
The breather flip was mandatory on all my trucks back in the 80's.
That's a reminder for another truck that i have had a 79 Chevy k20 Scottsdale 241k hard worked fertilizer sprayer tank truck and scrap metal hauler till the truck bed split in front of the center cross member and fell off the back of the truck lol,i had got it and the carb and motor were covered in mud and cleaned it off and went to the junkyard and got a Air cleaner and put it on the factory sbc 350 dual jet 2bbl non ac truck th400hd np203 and PTO transmission and gm corporate 10 bolt front and 14 bolt rear 4 11 gears and it instantly caught the Air cleaner element on fire,so it got a carb rebuild a quadrajet carb and intake manifold swap and a Edelbrock triangle shape pro flo air cleaner and instantly caught the element on fire 🔥. . So i went back to the burnt gm Harrison air cleaner and put a fram air filter in it and it was fine lol stupid truck and it ran like crap with the lid flipped because it was chugging like a johnny popper tractor lol rings and valve seals were toast and the heads either had a few sticky valve issues or it had several bent valves.
People talk a lot of shit about the Quadrajet, but they were honestly great if you took the time to tune them right.
The burnt Air cleaner for the dual jet wasn't worth much after catching it on fire so i didn't mind cutting it up to use it for the jet and didn't want to have to buy another air cleaner for the truck
Not a quadrajet buddy that's a edelbrock 😂😂😂
Hey! Lady here, I've been watching since you took the 1970 Country Sedan, 2100 miles back home we definitely watch your videos!
Also.... still waiting for that Country Sedan engine teardown 😂
if they didnt lock up the impala they should have done a "which one was worse" comparo with the wagon
when you buy a truck like that the main part you want to check is the frame because I have been around tow trucks all my life and you need to check the frame where the leaf spring shackles mount to the frame and if it has a wheel lift in the back it can break the frame it all depends on if it has been overloaded or not but the wheel lift does put a high strain on the rear frame. if the truck is built right it will be double rail in the back or boxed depending on the company who fitted the truck.
When he said... I need to put a vacuum gauge on it to see if there's something wrong with the valves... we don't, we have compression! I lost it. That's ME! I ignore the obvious, or what I have already done, and then I would have gone down a rabbit hole!
My grandfather, who was an old Marine Mechanic, would have said... "boy, if that was a snake, it would have bitten you! The first thing you check is the carburetor". I had a 260z with twin Hitachi cabs that I couldn't figure out, but he took them apart and fixed them in less than an hour.
Don't know about the rest of the fellas here. But my wife enjoys watching along. Also get some hockey pucks, drill a hole in the middle. New cab mounts
Hahahaha........no...... I couldn't be so lucky. I look like Quasimodo (messed up teeth, lump on my back) so generally they run just away.... Absolutely awesome experience, with almost a decade of the same thing happening with any female....avoidance
You're welcome to completely avoid this nonsense. Do not recommend.
I can't help but chuckle at 26:20 you fighting with the front wheel, last weekend I took all 4 wheels of my squarebody that had been sitting for the better part of 15 years and all 4 came off with no fuss. However past me (who put those wheels on) had the foresight to put a thin layer of grease on the hubs and flange area in a hope my wheels wouldn't stick. Guess it worked lol

Thanks for the Raycon discount Kevin! Just got my second pair. Lost the charger on my first.
I drove wrecker yrs ago and my boss put racing engines in all of his wreckers. He pulled a loaded semi down the expressway with a truck that size because the heavy wrecker was getting worked on. The look on the semi drivers face was epic. lol
Was wondering when you were going to do the tow truck thing.👍🏻
Mook still needs to get herself a rollback.😜
The dreamcatcher belongs to the ghost of the Kiowa warrior that haunts the heater...
The tow bed alone is worth the dollar amount you paid for the whole rig. I drove a tow truck for 2 years in the 80's, the company I worked for had several different trucks 4 Ford f250's 2 f500's and 3 Chevy c20 Silverados. My on call rig I was asigned to was a F250 with the Holmes winch bed. Seen a few Dodge tow rigs back then they rust too easy and become unreliable. Your truck after it is fixed will give you many good years of service. I enjoy your videos Kevin, have a great week.
I thought wheel lifts make this type of sling obsolete. The number of vehicles on the road that have conventional bumpers is nearly zero now. Especially in the rust belt.
They all rust, it isn’t just a Dodge thing. I have had 4 squarebodies and every one of them rotted in the same places. My K30 cab is rotted so bad, the parking brake assembly is just hanging. I also have a Plymouth from 1956 that was from New York that’s not nearly as rusty as any of my squarebodies. It’s all in how you take care of them, at the end of the day, they are all just metal
40 years ago the sling was the thing and cars and trucks were made with strong bumpers.@@auteurfiddler8706
I know they all rust especially floors and bottom of doors, but this one tow truck I drove for about a week was a Dodge and it's floor pans were so bad you could see right through to the ground and this truck wasn't even 10 years old yet.@@mopargssr
Dude, I LOVE your channel. Your videos have taught me a lot!! I'm a 61 year old backyard mechanic, and you videos help me to fix ANY project I have to work on.
You guys need to find a video on how to hook/rig a vehicle in a boom tow truck, you’re doing it ALL wrong 😂. (Spent my youth working at a garage and doing AAA tow calls).
Always enjoy the content Kevin. Hey instead of using anti sieze on anything brake related, use synthetic brake caliper grease, anti-sieze dries and becomes sticky, caliper grease does not. Just a useful tip.
💯% correct sir 👍
Nice old Wrecker but the sling ( the rubber thingy hanging off the back) is mounted upside down. The t handles face the ground and the rubber straps wrap around the bottom bar the other way. Take the sling off and re mount. take the current left arm and put in the right or passenger side bracket and take the right arm and put in left side bracket. the bottom pivot point on sling will be pointed to ground and crossbar on pivovit will be on top side. the top sling plate the " L " plate will face the boom and the smooth or flat part will face out.
that makes sense!
@@JunkyardDigstoo bad no wheel lift on rig ,aybe you can add one on cuz the sling will chew up. Plastic. Bumpers keep a few 6. Ft. 4 by 4 on bed to slip between sling and frame to stabilize chains....get proper chains too with. J. Hooks wheels on bed are dolly wheels
Check tranny and rear gear oil level..need muffler??? U joints and seals check rear brakes needs not for hire logo... Great YT. CONTENT😅😅
Good eye I noticed that too
@@JunkyardDigs And FYI when hooking the chain you don't put the hook tip into the link. You just have to lay a link sideways into the hook and it won't slide past the next link in line since it's perpendicular to the link in the hook.
@@BlakJak I still have this kinda wrecker, 73 chevy c-30, Holmes 440, with a triple k lift, collins dollies, and the scotch blocks as well...
I have a 81 gmc 1 ton that used to be a wrecker, now a flatbed. I bought it for 1300.00 and it’s has a 350 4bbl, with a rv cam, headers, edelbrock intake and 3” exhaust with glass packs, 4 speed and limited slip rear differential. I have replace the rubber brake line, distributor, and timing chain and gears, it would appear that there are some common issues with these 😂
52:05 an old school welder once taught me you're supposed to keep hammering down your welds on cast iron
"I feel like Angus in the impala right now" I almost choke myself with my Easy Eddy when you said that....I saw in my mind Angus with his little bear blanket driving the dam Impala.. that was hilarious!!! BTW looking for the next episode of the impala!!
I like Tom. His humor fits in well.
You guys are the best! Thank you for all the help and tips to lower class backyard mechanics like me! And all the entertainment!!
I had the exact same experience happen on my 93 f150. With the locking up brake Figured it was brake hoses and the fact you had the exact same issue and the same idea of a solution gives me hope
I had that problem on my '72 dodge D300 and it turned out to be the master cylinder, not the hoses. To check this, crack the front brake line loose at the master and see if it releases the brakes. If it does, the problem is in the master. If not, hoses/calipers are the likely culprit.
Fortunate to "save" the rotors. Replacing them would have totaled the truck, cost wise.
We have spent this weekend binge watching your show. I have laughed, learned and thoroughly enjoyed myself. You have a gift for teaching and a banging sense of humor.

@@RustyZipper That there is an early 80's Holmes 'trooper' 1100.

Buy some j-hook chains for sling to! Way easier hook on control arms.
Very nice wrecker. What you have there is a Holmes 1100 single line hydraulic boom on a Holmes Sonic Lo-Side bed. I have a similar 85 C30 with the same Sonic Lo-Side bed but i have the mechanical Holmes 440 Hi Power boom with a Century Formula 1 hydraulic wheel lift that was used at a local service station and their Circle track up until the track closed in 2016. Its pretty clean and still has its original hand painted lettering but definitely needs interior work and i talk to a guy that drove it and he says the Goodwrench 350 that was installed is underpowered so i may build a small block or LS swap it. Funny enough mine is also white with the top and tailboard being red but my push bumper is also white. I have another one i wanna paint red and put on so i can keep the original one white
Love this truck! Fix’er up! Interior and hand paint doors.
Guess I'm staying awake another hour
Not only are Quadrajets reliable, but the sound of those secondaries opening...oh yeah
PAR 36 light bulbs for the lower lights. The top lights looked like possibly PAR 46.
Get LEDs for lights needs blower motor and fluids cab mounts wood be. Nice. Tooo😅😅
Oh yeah add thermal grease to HEI DIZZY. Module so it don't. Fry

Cool old wrecker ...with a little work this will be a handy tool for you...those intermittent problems are frustrating thankfully the old quadrajet carb worked well...I had a issue with a VW bus engine once that ran on two cylinders but randomly switched witch two it ran on ..there was dirt in the carb that only let enough fuel though for two cylinders we cleaned it out and all was fine...keep up the good work your videos are fun to watch I wish we had the amount of old cars to find but road salt and crushers have limited whats available up here ...love that old Oldsmobile 98...Karl from eastern Canada
Ah, the wonderful world of working on chevys. I don't miss it.
MANNNN did this bring back memories of the brand new 1984 Chevy truck my late dad bought off the local Cedar Falls lot late 1983 and we drove to Le Mars to have it converted to the old school wrecker like this!!!
I grew up in an AMOCO station my late parents owned 1984-95.
I went on sooooo many service/tow calls with my dad pre teens thru my teens!
Thanks for helping bring back some cool memories for me!
Looking forward to seein more of Tom's Tows!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
I love the troubleshooting process that takes a Marketplace mystery engine from "leaky, on-fire tugboat" to "SBC screamer with attitude". Maybe a 4x4 swap in the future?
There are other women who watch your videos also. I'm one of them. I never laughed so hard when I saw that you purchased a tow truck. Love your troubleshooting skills .
Now you are going to get your boom fixed! Thank you for sharing! 😊😂
Would love to see a repair series on this rig as it comes back to life bit by bit!
You should include Tom in all your videos. Reminds me of hanging out with my friends dads. You cant learn enough. You just dont know it until you get older.

I literally started watching this video and thought to myself “oh nice Kevin finally gets a break from brakes” then literally five minutes in I was like oh Nevermind😂
@JunkyardDigs ,Napa sells the odd bulbs under the rear bumper.
Can’t hit the like button enough keep this thing around!
I'm sure you''ll figure out what you need, but for starters, you'll need a pair of J hooks and chains with T hooks on the end opposite the J hooks. The T hooks go in the slots of the frame of the vehicle you tow, so you aren't putting a lot of stress on the lower A frame of the newer vehicles with lighter A frames.
If you need to tow a vehicle with a plastic bumper, place a length of 4x4 wood across the base of the towbar to keep from crushing the plastic.
Make sure the chain with the J and T hooks is relatively tight between the hook on the tow bar and the hook at the top of the sling.
Ya got dollies, you can tow anything With steel bumpers w/o damage. 👍🤣
Might consider new tires for the dollies...
Tom is one of my favorite characters in the long line of JYD’s guests on the channel ! Cheers Tom. From Tom. 🍻
I bought a bendpak lift because we had them at the shop i used to work at and a bit from this channel and unfortunately my unit is pretty sub par. Something from factory was not correct where i have to max out the equalizer cables right from the get-go to get level. My lift also leaked, squeaked and was beat up to the point where it looked used. They sent out the installer out again to check what was up and he just insisted my floor was out of level and shimmed up one side quite a bit then left saying it was level when it clearly was not. It still leakes, its still unlevel and at this point a year after install im just going to try new parts since customer service was rather unhelpful. If you have a good installer or want to and can install it yourself then the lift seems fine, unfortunately my installer sucked and was the only one for my area. Just a heads up for anyone looking at this product.
I've got a 73 chev pickup that acted like it was losing power. About the same time I could smell it, it started dogging bad. The brake line to the caliper collapsed on the inside. It held pressure on the caliper, not allowing it to return. You've probably already felt the rims to locate the problem child.
the hoodie string attached to your beard at 40:19 is a nice touch!
I know 😅
Exactly what I was scrolling through to see.
It was hillarious
Sling towing is an art. Thankfully someone taught me years ago. But with the plastic bumpers, even though you can tow them, I'd only use it to tow old steel.
Also get some j-hooks. They hook under control arms easy on anything.
You and Dylan McCool need to have wrecker drags!!
Junkyard Digs never fails to entertain. Also I really appreciate Kevin keeping the videos to around an hour. Seems to be the perfect length for them, in my opinion.
About time you got a tow truck no more hauling more towing
Extended out the boom to get more cable to out and sling goes up higher. Gets front tires off the ground.
Don't forget to do the air cleaner lid flip 😅 there's 7 extra ponys right there 😂
Still early in the video, but that front end vibration seemed like death wobble. That would explain why it went away once you slowed. My square also suffered from it and it was very surprising the first time it happened.
Also, you gotta fix that flood light wiring. That wire is going to be rubbed raw sitting between jagged rusty plates of metal.
Gentlemen and Mom was pretty funny.
"TOM'S TIPPY TOES" OMG I don't know who that lady is but she's my new internet favorite.
Amazon has those rear light bulbs.
Partsam 2pcs 4" Round LED Trailer Tail Lights - 40 White LED Reverse Back up Trailer Lights for RV Trucks, Waterproof Sealed Round led Reverse Fog Lights Flush Mount for Truck Trailer Boat Bus. I only know this because I had the same thing happen with my motorhome and it has those weird small lights with the rubber around them. I don't remember them costing much . I got mine back in November and I think the set was around $18 or so. They WILL light up the world. Mine are on the side of my coach and they call them "docking lights" on the FLEETWOOD motor homes. Hell I used to be a B-52 pilot and I don't think even on my bird the lights were as bright as these. Good Luck. If you ever get board I have a Ford 460 that is driving me up the wall, same problems as you were having. Sometimes it runs for a few hundred miles then it loves to just bug down to the top speed of about 10 mph. But if you pull over and let it rest for 10 min or so it runs like a striped ape...till the next time it won't been through everything you did to this engine except change the "injector carb" I hate those damn things. Good luck with the truck and keep posting videos I am good but I never fail to learn from you

That thing rips the note is so good.
I had a 65 Chevy pickup with identical problem. It ended up being a bad key switch. The only reason I found it was because it got so bad that I could push start but would not fire turnng key. I hotwired it and ran perfect
