Today we are taking a grand adventure of a road trip to rescue a 1969 C20 from an abusive owner. The story behind this truck is tragic and it requires our efforts to save it from a fate worse than death... SPRAY FOAM! This guy abused the truck in several ways, but for me the worst is filling holes with spray foam to fiberglass over. Then he tried to start it and caught it on fire and burned up the engine bay wiring harness which somehow ended up in the entire truck being stripped of it's wiring. The truck has been abandoned since 2006, sitting forgotten in a back yard. I probably shouldn't have bought this basket case, but I just couldn't leave it with him! Dive in with us as we try to revive this battered beauty. Will it start?
Check out these guys!

Grey Primer.. my favorite !!
That might be it's best attribute! 🤣 It's a good video though!
Sweet
So glad you saved her! I just don't understand some people...When I bought my 76 Sierra Grande C25, the kid told me he ran it off the drivers side tank. I had it towed to my house, and put gas in the left tank ....cranked, but no fuel....so I thought he must have been mistaken, so I put gas in the pass side tank...cranked ..nothing...So I climb underneath, and here there was no fuel line running from the tank transfer switch to the line going to the fuel pump! Put a new hose on it and it fired right up....I just don't get it....great video man!
It's sad that people act the way they do. If they have no idea what they are talking about, then just say u don't know. It drives me nuts. The guy I bought the C20 from had the gall to tell me he replaced the driver's rocker and the cab was solid. 🙄 Thanks for watching!
Nice (except for the fiberglass and foam...whoa)! I've got a '69 GMC C2500 3/4 ton, original 350/350 long bed. My new shop truck, putting her to work!!
Nice! I haven't officially decided what I'm gonna do with my C20 yet. It's currently parked out of site so I don't have to think about it. I'm simple like that. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
sorry I missed the premier, but good on you for giving her a chance love I have a plan
No worries Roy! I always have a plan. Usually multiple variations of a plan. Then I throw it out and wing it. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
looks like a good save
It's definitely got potential! Thanks for watching!
That was quick
We were worried it was too long. Thought about cutting it down but didn't know where to. Started out with almost 2 hours of footage!
Always good to see you saving these classics even if they are Chevys
I like seeing the classic Fords saved too. I mean as long as I don't own them. 🤣 I figure if they have survived this long they deserve to be saved no matter what they are. Thanks for watching!
That's really cool I like these old trucks I have 68 and a 70 C10 they're great I had a 70 in high school I'm glad you put these on the videos
I love these old trucks too! I've had more of em than I can shake a stick at and every time I buy one it's the same warm fuzzy feeling. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video. The parts places hardly know what these trucks are anymore. I've got a 70 C30 dually ramp truck I'm still messing with and it took me long time to find front rotors. Seems their not made anymore by anybody. Weird not being able to find parts for a chevy truck. Good luck🍺
It is bizarre that the parts don't seem to be found at say Walmart anymore. I feel like any store used to have a Chevy trucks part section. Don't even get me started on the parts store people. 🙄 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. More to come so stick around. Thanks for watching!
You can't go wrong with a 67-72 c10. Keep up the good work.
Truth! I love these trucks. Plus they are so well made it rarely takes much to bring them back to life. Thanks for watching!
Here's a story... My 68' c10 had two dead rats in the tank. Haha, and a 7 foot snake living in the glove box! Looks like a good truck to get running there!
I just bought one that smells like a skunk and octopus had a baby in the fuel tank and it's growing plants in the carpet. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Cool video thanks
Glad ya liked it! Thanks for watching!
Love this channel great to see you care about these old trucks
I love that people other than me care. It's good to know I'm not as weird as I though. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
More c10s. Yay!
I ❤️ C10's! Thanks for watching!
No surprises for a 52 yr old work truck from that region
I expect the rust, the spray foam was an unwanted surprise. Lol. Thanks for watching!
starting to rebuild my grandpas 69 c20 that's been sitting since 06 when he passed any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated that truck is the only family I have left and will do anything to have it on the road again
That's awesome! Get on that thing. No real advice other than if you are unsure do a bit of research first. They are pretty simple units and there's tons of info out there on there. Good luck with it!
Got some nice VGG impressions in there. I’d say it’s got some hope, especially if you take off the primer and get the original color back...
Lol factree was homage to him. Clampolators sounds like him but we just have that one in common. 😂 It's definitely got potential and yeah that original color is awesome! Just gotta rebuild the whole truck first. 🙄 Thanks for watching!
I notice you first got a 67 chevy truck, then 1968, and now a 1969... is your next a 1970 c10? lol
It is actually! Lol. The latest C10 (yellow one) is a '70. 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Cant wait to watch
I hope it lives up to the hype!
Yeah
My favorite words = I have a plan 😂
I'd like to point out that it worked lol
My Legacy Garage 😂yea it did
@@edwardsgarage7427 remember the A team? I love when a plan comes together! Lol. Thanks for watching!
My Legacy Garage oh yea I remember that lol keep up the good videos 👍🏻
Looks like a good project if you like bodywork.😜
Does anybody actually like bodywork??? 🤔🤣 Thanks for watching!
Nice truck! I like it!👍🏻
I do too! Thanks for watching!
This truck had nothing wrong with it, with the age that's completely normal and I would drive that thing all the time as a work truck with a little puttin back together of course.
The rust and such is pretty normal. The spray foam and total lack of wiring not so much. Lol. Thanks for watching!
I dunno, if you'd seen my '74 GMC Sierra you might've run screaming man! I could see the cab supports through the floor and a good chunk of the bed was rotten
I've had some real winners too. I wish I had more time so I could get more done. Lol. Need to hit the lotto so I can quit my day job. 🤣
@@MyLegacyGarage I need to win the lotto so I can become a crazy hermit in the woods... I already look a bit like Charles Manson when I grow my hair out and don't shave hahaha
@@DeadReckon Just make sure you have internet out there in the sticks so you can still watch and comment on our videos!
@@MyLegacyGarage hahahaha I'll just be sitting on a mountain with a long range antenna freezing my ass off to watch RUclips
@@DeadReckon what's wrong with being a hermit on a beach in the middle of nowhere? 🤔
Hi is 4750 a unresonable $$ ammount for a '71 truck similar to this ( its driveable runs) i drove it earlier its like a c in cosmetically ( looks like original paint few dents /dings but as ii said its very driveable )
I would say that's a lot for one in similar condition. This one is gutted and has no wiring or anything and is quite rusty. Check out the white 68 on my channel. I sold that truck for 5k to give you a reference. Hope this helps.
Hi Bud RUclips suggested i come visit ya Got say really enjoyed your video and your pain + little bit frustration So i did the right thing and subbed and 👍 Please can i have more of the same maybe a hint more frustration Thank you 👌
Glad to see ya found your way over! There is never a shortage of pain and frustration around here. Especially with starters. Especially if there are headers involved. The next project also needs a starter. It also has headers. 🤬 Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Spray foam should be a felony.
I agree! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Rescued from abusive owner ... lol! Amazed at the spray foam in the wheel tub without even grinding the rust out...so why? Let you take off with bed unbolted...gotta ask - Was he a meth guy? Never mind, he is probably watching lol.
I hope he is watching and learns to never do those things again. It's a disgrace what he did to that poor truck. Glad ya enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!
Over already
