- I was asked to see if this rough 1965 chevy step side pickup would be worth saving after being stored for decades in a leaky barn, lets bring it into the garage and see, part 2 of 2
He doesn’t sell merchandise,he doesn’t have Sponsors, he doesn’t ask to subscribe or hit like . He could have been bigger than VGG but choose to stay true to his roots . They offered him several tv shows , he turned them down . He’s a true RUclipsr .
Well said!!
Respect!!
Ya that's what I love about him .
Now the next guy has to replace a once perfectly good steel gas line, and now a key switch. What’s next?
@@Bill-xc8le a whole lot more that will cost more than $25.

Brings back good memories Mustie. In 1980 I got a 1963 Chevy C-10 for 50 bucks with the engine and transmission in the bed. I got it for a teaching aid for my son to learn how to repair a vehicle. He learned how to rebuild everything on that truck. Brakes, Electrical harness, transmission engine starter alternator master cylender gas tank cleaning, body work you name it. He was 11 when I bought it and 15 when it was finished. It looked better than brand new. His first truck. LOL He still has it.
Mustie is an incredible mechanic who solves problems with logic. Anyone can look it up these days, but to have him share his path of rational thinking with us is invaluable. 😊
Absolutely. He has taught me more about troubleshooting than I could have paid for. He is amazing.
You are defiantly right. 5 seconds after I cant figure something out I pull out youtube or google haha. Its just to easy. Mustie1 never takes the easy way
John Hudson, you are so right about him. He was a mechanic for Volkswagen here in New Jersey!!!!
He will survive a SHTF scenario with a grid and internet collapse, where quick and easy information is no more.
Dude is a legend
My great grandfather operated a campground and boat rental, in B.C. Canada. When I was a little turd, we'd spend summers there. One of the chores I did was to help my great g/d collect & haul the garbage, weekly or so, to the dump. Sometimes I'd get lucky & we'd see a couple of bears rummaging through the garbage. He'd stop & get me an Orange Crush on the way back.
He had that exact truck! When you ran her through the gears all those memories came back to me. Thank you Mustie. 👍🏻
My dad beat me in the same truck cause i lipped off to him😃
@@n2cable nothing wrong with that as long as you learned something.

Yep. Those were the good ole days. 😉
Now days we have to hear that men can get pregnant.
And if you disagree with that, you could go to jail for a hate crime,... but murderers get to go free because they're the victims,.. and their vivtims are the guilty ones..
Odd, I don't know why there is so much "hate" for VGG, why would there be any kind of conflicting argument between the two channels? They are quite different and each has their own strong points. Mustie1 does what he is comfortable with and I'm sure is compensated well for his channel and something he enjoys without the hassle of dealing with scheduling, management, promotion etc. It seems he goes about his channel as a fun comfortable means of earning a side income while doing a bit of teaching and learning. VGG from the start seems to be a bit more on the entertainment side with bits of instructional information thrown in and Derek and his family look to be building something bigger capitalizing on their entertainment value to build a good solid future for their boys. Commenters on here calling VGG a sell out for doing advertising, putting together a show and having sponsors so he can build a good comfortable life for his family, he hasn't dropped any of his values as a family man that I can see, perhaps all the naysayers are just jealous due to there inability to measure up.
A bit of a budget wouldn't be a bad thing. A carb rebuild kit was always going to be an essential. And one working wheel cylinder at least would help... Well done, Darren, as always. (There are 114,000,000 RUclips channels, and Mustie1 is the mustiest of all)... 👍
Agreed. I wait for Darren's uploads every week. His intuitive reasoning is fascinating and intriguing. A joy to watch. His chuckle when things go "bump" is like extra icing on this cake called life.
Na the goal is the just figure out whats broken then let the next owner decide if they want to restore or sell without selling spending any money.
came here to say this
rebuild kit
or
new carb
Really like this truck, I think its worth to make it proper again in the way you mention. Nothing too fancy just the essential parts of it. Amazingly cheap parts to get for these makes it really get going for it. Great videos, looking forward to the next one!
Woo-hoo! Was hoping for part 2 of this old glory. Question: I have Snapper LT16 parts you mentioned wanting, mainly the exit chute cover. you often say subs donate things to you how do we go about that?
I worked in 70s in NYC in a Carburetor rebuilt shop.
Learned how to clean anodize and adjust tune just about everything.
Today's modern EFI is so much better than carbs instant start no issues flooding etc.
Carbs and Points nonstop issues then.
GM HEI and Rochester carbs majority of systems commonly seen .
CV carbs from Europe like webbers odd similar to motorcycle carbs .
I learned the early Bosch j tronic which old timers then thought was "Voodoo high tech" in 70s.
I have chemicals still in my blood 😂
I had a 64 Chevy Custom cab truck. Same green color. Mine had the big rear window and a 283 engine. Till the ex took it. It now sits in her back yard rotting away. People can be so cruel. These are solid trucks. Nice to see you getting her going.
I love the car stories thrown in as he's working. Makes the videos have so much more of a personal touch. Like a bunch of guys wrenching on the weekend swapping life stories.
I've had several of these trucks. Loved every minute! Thanks Darren!
@mustie1 Based on your videos, I did my first carb overhaul to resurrect an 30+ yo snow blower. Running far better now! Thanks for all you do.
Reminded me of our 73-74? Mustang. Top speed was 53 highway unless you used the A/C. 49 mph.

One of my old cars, bought for around $100 in the mid-eighties had do be started with a short screwdriver. An Opel Kadett, i think the barrel was AC Delco, very similar to the Chevy switch (both GM cars). This very temporary solution stayed on for five years. :-) I just added a hidden kill-switch to ground out the ignition. As theft protection!
I remember the carbs taken apart on the kitchen table and how mom would get mad at us. One day, she just swept all of the parts I'd laid out into a paper sack and tossed it into the garage. Took me a week to get that back together. I've never forgiven her.
You’re late Mustie, I’m already on my 2nd cup of coffee, oh wait, it’s daylight savings time never mind. Lol!
I was definitely thinking a lawn tractor key switch was gonna be swapped in!
I especially like learning about the carbs and points. The electrical troubleshooting is great too... Thaks for this formatted vid. Love the stories too...
Hi Darren. You took me back quite a while to a time when American vehicles was sold in South Africa! Chevy's, Ford, Chrysler, Dodge. GMC. My Dad use to have '67 Fleetside Chev truck with a similar front end to the one you are working on. I learn to drive in it at age 12!! The kingpins were quite worn as well as the steering box so it was quite a handful to keep in a straight line never mind on the road. Thanks for bringing fond memories back!!
Jannie Cilliers.
I will say I’m shocked Mustie doesn’t have 2 million subscribers. Thank god he isn’t peddling those silly items every you tuber peddles.
I do have a question Mustie. What is the brand and model name of the impact drill a you tuber sent you that is an absolute beast. Looking to upgrade and I think it was a Milwaukee brand?
20:35 yeah I was disappointed that you didn't get the buick. That would have been a nice project for you to get it not restored but to driveable condition. It'd be cool to see the repair of the antique brakes, etc.
23:12 I had an old dodge dart where the throttle would stick. No matter how much spray I put on it, it'd always stick in the winter. I went to the local auto parts store and bought a heavy duty spring to add to it.
I remember getting caught in a snow storm once and sat at the lights with the right rear tire turning in the snow because the throttle was stuck lol.
What a real barn find !! That truck is in great shape for it's age, ready for restoration. Thanks for the great videos, they make my Sundays !!
@@dr.barrycraiggarneauesq. if that's your opinion why watch it
@@dr.barrycraiggarneauesq. He has said many times he is doing this to assess the vehicles , not to restore them. As far as I've seen , he doesn't do restoration. Could be you are watching the wrong channel.
@@dr.barrycraiggarneauesq. well “ doctor “ your poor education and ignorance for not using spell check instead makes me wonder what denomination of church would allow a member to prey on its congregation ? or are they afraid to tell anyone because you would sue them at the drop of a hat ?
Why does every one cry for a restoration? That's a losing game unless it is a 1936 Bugatti. You can restore a common 1965 Chevy C10 but you won't get out of it what you paid. Better to tidy it up a bit and run it as is. I love how this one has 75% of its forest green paint intact.
@@Hjerte_Verke Why restore another country’s iconic vehicles ? A 39 Bugatti where in the world would you find such a rare car and better still you would have to custom produce all the parts that would be outdated . These vehicles people are restoring are a part of what “ made in America “ truly meant . My dream car when I graduated high school was a 1971 Chevelle SS with the 454 big block , back then that car would have cost me $3800.00 brand new , good luck finding one today for less than $ 30 K.

You continue to amaze me, Mustie. With patience and logic you show us the way to look at these problems. Thank you for your insightful way that you tackle each situation.
That truck will probably stay another 40 years in that garage
This ‘barn find’ series is super. Looking forward to the next one.
Yeah, our family cars were nothing special until Dad bought a ‘58 T’bird (in ‘59). It was always in the shop. He traded it on a ‘60 Bonneville tri-power. Oh yeah!! I was 17.
VERY nice rig, and excellent job bringing her back to life. She is gonna be a fine runner and parts fetcher.
Just don't use the toothpaste, I think it's full of brake cleaner ! Thanks for the video, cool truck.
This series warms a special place in my heart. I learned to drive on a '60s C-10... "Three on the Tree".
Me too, but it was an impala.
Mustie, I have found that if I didn't have a key to a vehicle. I could take out the lock, dump out all the tumblers and re-assemble without tumblers and then use any key to turn the lock. Nobody knows any key will work except you.
My first car was a 1977 Granada, however the previous owner engine swapped it with a 351W and it had a 3 speed pistol grip shifter. Tan with stock wheels it was the ultimate sleeper for sure, I even had a box of tissues on the back deck lid to make it look like “ Granny’s car “
Up until the 1970's, on GM products the door lock and ignition key is the same. Take a door lock to a locksmith and he will make a key. The key code is stamped on the door lock tumbler. I've done it many times. In the 70's the trunk key was different.
Love these Sunday morning Mustie magic shows..abracadabra..fixed.
Dad had one just like this. Very simple to repair and reliable. It just needed about 20 more hp…
The amount of knowledge and dedication to every project you do is just amazing watch you since you bring back the VW rusty the very first one about 6 yrs ago and still after all your DIY bikes mopeds lawnmowers and so on and on still amaze me by amount of tricks and tips you got under your sleeves 😀 😊 😉 keep going what you do you are great mechanic and person thx you for all those yrs of entertainment 😀
Good morning Mustie Family, I enjoy watching old iron run again
Wave rake would have had that turned easier but was fun to watch.
LPL is another channel.
My parents had a Granada as well. It was a pile of junk and prejudiced me against Fords for the rest of my life. Fortunately, I never had to work on the carb on the Granada or any other 70s car; I drove my Mom's 1969 Buick Sport Wagon, which was a joy to work on.
That’s the sound of my childhood. Had a neighbor named Jack that worked at RCA that had 65 C10 . Every morning at 6:30 I heard it start and go through the gears up the road.
Lockpicking Lawyer fans are yelling to use the Covert Companion and pick that sucker. I bet it would take under 15 seconds for someone with a bit of skill.
Gone in 30 minutes! My OCD was not liking the key-switch getting destroyed, yet you redeemed the situation and restored it. Awesome as usual!
Yeah it sucks to see an original part get destroyed, but the keys were lost, so replacement was the only option. It's clear the owners of this truck and the Plymouth didn't want any money spent on seeing if they run (or if mustie just wanted the challenge, I'm not sure,) so breaking the lock is his only option, like it said it needs to be replaced anyway.
Well I have to admit, when those eyeballs began to appear, I thought "It's 'Towmater' all over again". Then I thought nope, there's no goofy teeth, and Towmater was red. Then I realised, "It's Towmater's little brother 'Green Towmater' and it's short visit to the whistle stop garage".
Right, what's next? That little green thirties style truck on the left as we looked into the barn?
I have had several old Chevy trucks. Love working on those old 1 barrel carbs. So easy and they always work.
It's a Cougar. I'm totally guessing. If it is a GTO, I will be VERY jealous. 😭
I just watched you're first video u ever made and its crazy to see how long ways you came from..it all started with a camping trip on a beach where nobody was around drinking wine with the wife and hanging with the two dogs... wayyyy back in 2007.. you're my favorite RUclips channel of all of them. Thanks for the great content keep it up.
That's not a broken stud they came from the factory that way .. my 74 nova is the same way.. it's a guide pin more, or less..
I can remember my dad choosing to go on a 3000 mile trip with the family in one of these back in the sixties. It had a camper shell on it and my sister and I rode for the most part in the back sitting on lawn chairs. No AC and by the end of the trip our ears rang from the road noise. Swore after that to never drive long distance to anywhere, just fly after that miserable vacation.
SO glad this truck from my birth year is alive again!!
That's the " right way" using the "Right Stuff" on the gasket.😁 You'll know how good a job you did assembling the carb by how many pieces you have left on the table. 🤣 Thanks as always mustie1 for the vids!
Nice one Dazz - merry Christmas from Melbourne Oz.
Would like to see what it would’ve look like after a pressure wash👍
с одной стороны хочется увидеть и двигатель чистым, но с другой стороны грязь и масло на двигателе не дали ему сгнить )
"wrong gear" lol, reminds of when my dad taught me to drive in our 4 on the tree peugeot. same shift pattern as the chevy except 4th was closest to the dashboard and up. this was in the early 70's, 73 maybe and the car was a 1966
great series, back when cars were so much simpler but then again our 5 year old ram with 50000 miles hasn't had a thing done to it except oil and filters. the days of biannual tuneuos are gone
What a great series this is seeing you go through all these barn finds I can't wait to find out what you bought!
Mustie stops to rev after getting it off the lift and creating that running it out of the garage money shot and tries to rev. Funny stuff duder
Had a '63 back around '77 or so. Looked almost identical to this except it had what they called a 6-pack after market a/c under the dash that would freeze you out. I probably miss that truck more than my '69 GTO - or close to it. Classic for sure. Would love to have one again sometime.......... Great work! Keep it up brother !!
I have a 61chevrolet Apache 20. Needle and seat is stuck. That's what you get for letting it sit. I'm going to relax and watch this video first. Nice job 👍
Thank you Mustie! Keep the trucks coming!
I soak the accelerator pumps that are old and hard in bp blaster for 24hrs I’ve had a lot success in it sifting old rubber
I have to say.....Rat Look rules👌 it took all those years to make it amazing
Well done Mustie
I sure do miss & don't understand why they got rind of the foot operated hi & low beam headlight switch on the floorboard.
As a truly knowledge able mechanic, you are probably already aware of this but back in the mid 1960's while I was out of the country and my brothers were still in High School, they and their buddies got bored one morning waiting for school to start and decided to try out their car keys to see how many would fit other vehicles in the parking lot at school. Those with chevy keys found out that they could start every other chevy in the lot with the same key. Can't really imagine that was a local situation applicable to only rural NC.
Yeah, back then the variety of car keys was limited. My dad once accidentally unlocked the wrong Renault 4 and only noticed when the key didn't really want to work the ignition, that lock was more finicky than the door locks. Only then he noticed the different seat covers 😀
No brakes and a stuck throttle. What could go wrong?
The Lockpickinglawyer would have had that key switch open in 15 sec or less.
Very nice looking old truck Mustie1, runs great to. I love to see them old trucks, look forward to seeing more Mustie1.
Hey buddy it sure would help too if you would take pictures that way you know how things go back together that's what I do anyway
Seems like a good starting point for a budget restoration, keeping the patina like you said!
Lol... the hours I've wasted being "a little too gentle" 😅😅😅
I do have to agree that there is a bit of a difference when it’s not something you own. Kinda feels like you’re rushing to get to the vehicle you purchased. Which is understandable. Not saying the videos aren’t really good just missing that slow organic dissection element we all love from your videos. I literally watch all your videos over and over because I love working with you in the garage. Looking forward to your new purchase and its resurrection. Thank you Mustie for all your hard work and love for all things mechanical.
Gone in One Hour!!!; )" ( Mustie's Need for Speedo's)"!
35:00 I remember one of my old cars and the water pump went. $6.00 including the gasket and $2.40 for the thermostat. Swapped it out one afternoon in the backyard. Back when cars were easy to work on.
Check ball under the acell pump?
Great content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Bought a 64 with coils on the rear back in 78. $50. Found out the frame was broken behind the cab. I kept hearing a clunk noise. Went to the junk yard and bought a frame and lengthened the whole thing at least a foot. Moved huge logs with that thing....lived throught it too.
Where did the mystery carburetor washer go? 🤣
Into the dust bin.
I wish I were there with you to capture the verve when you got it fired up and running...and enjoy the sound of your mad scientist laugh when it did!
There is a huge element missing when it's not something you own.
I was trying to find the words to what you just conveyed perfectly.I wholeheartedly agree,it’s great material but just not the same when there’s not a personal attachment.Its not a derogatory criticism but just a key dynamic that’s missing.
I agree especially when he cut that perfectly good steel gas line to hook up that snowblower tank. If it was his he wouldn’t have done that.
This is how Darren started . He has clients,he has customers . He staying true to his roots .
@@Philc231 Customer stuff is great, but maybe he could leave that stuff off youtube.

Thank you for mentioning forgeting where all the bits and pieces go. some comfort in knowing I am not the only one! BTW my first was a 1963 gmc bouht for 150.00 in 1970 finally junked it in 1982. great memories.
Nice old truck!
Ok. Alrighty then there old Mustie 1. Great work. ❤🐘🇺🇸
This is one of the greatest "will it run" series I've ever seen. Between this and the Plymouth you've gotten two vintage cars running with NOTHING. No parts, just experience, knowledge and perseverance. I feel like such a parts installer now, I'm constantly buying parts for my projects. What you did with the ignition switch was freaking hilarious! Keep them coming. You mentioned Cuba at one point - where people make do with what they have over and over again. Love it. What a great series concept!
I always feel like we’re being tested when asked questions lol.
Perhaps a live stream with chat would be interesting during these episodes.
That live stream idea I’ve wanted for years he talks to us but we’re to late
Lol… I always catching myself trying to answer his questions and say you need to do this, next thing I know he reads my mind and doing it.

You're right about this truck, the best thing to do is just repair the essentials (brakes etc). The finish can be restored as is, you'd be surprised at the result. Patina vehicles done right can be real kool. Just saw one not long ago, sharp. Later
Watched both videos on this truck and enjoyed it very much. Keep doing what you're doing.
Yeah I'd like to see my car working forty years from now.
I would have just found a cereal box and made a new gasket off the old one you aren't ever supposed to use rtv type gasket maker on carbs.
Mustie1 postings are pure soul therapy. Does it so(u)ley (sorry!) for the joy of shariing his vast knowledge and experience for the benefif of others and not fur any personal gain. Legend.
LOL…Just wondering if Mustie’s parents knew that he had disabled their car by removing the carb, before or after they saw all the pieces to it on the dining room table. I cannot imagine that my parents would have given me permission to do something like that…..
I keep waiting for the fan to launch itself thru the radiator every time mustie starts that truck. LOL
How much would a carb kit have been? 15 dollars? Efficiency is important as is reliability
I really enjoy this no nonsense channel.
I’ve always said, with some good tools and guts enough to try, you can accomplish just about anything.
You really proved your worth, resurrecting that Chevy pickup ! Great video!
I like the toothpaste idea. Thanks
a ratty pickup is nice enough for the girls we date.
When I was young our family had a VW bug. Pretty sure it was a 67. I remember one day in the mid to late 70s, my brother was driving me somewhere and a huge white station wagon came over the crest of a hill in the wrong lane (the speed limit on that road was about 40). It was headed straight for us. In a split second my brother swerved to the right completely on the grass on the side of the road. The station wagon never slowed down or changed lanes and BAM! When it hit, it peeled the left back fender straight up in the air. I remember how odd it looked, sticking straight up like that. I remember looking back through the window as the station wagon hit us and went past and seeing the hubcap flying through the air and rolling down the highway out of sight. I don't think we bothered to find it. My brother, who is over 6 feet tall, hit the key in the ignition with his knee and snapped it off flush inside the ignition. From then on my dad kept a screwdriver in the car to stick in the ignition to start it. There was no point in fixing it. Back then bugs like that weren't "valuable" yet, and it was a junker so no one was going to steal it. My dad sold it a few years later for $50.
That was cool, no shortage of rattles but it runs like a dream
Remember those old rubber tips that would be on most gas stations water hoses that you just bend and water would come out?
Mustie you the man.Super motors well made of proper metal.All the best to you all.
I have dealt with that type of ignition switch before. To get the tumbler out you have to turn it backwards to accessary then you can poke a pin in that small hole to get it out. Still means you have to have a key or be able to pick a lock.
