  • Square Body Chevy Truck "FIELD FIND" - Is It Worth The Money $$$
    #chevy #truck #barnfind
    My Friend Pete travels all the way to New Mexico to get a 1974 Chevy C20 Long Bed Truck. Was it worth the drive and most of all was it worth the money?

    Should I keep the truck and DUMP ALOT OF CASH IN IT, and listen to MINNIE Bitch and Complain?? Or Should I get it running and sell it for a profit and go down the road happy???

      Keep the truck Pete, it's already awesome and it's going to look beautiful when you're done with it. You have the know how to fix it up over time cheaper than anyone else could and you can always sell it in the future if you need the cash, those trucks are only getting more and more desirable.

      I didn't get the 454 or trans with it tho they were already sold..found me another 400 automatic for $100 and a 327 small block out of another junk yard for $ 275 to put back in it to get it running oh and a fuel tank..a pass door that was gone off of it and bought an entire front clip off a 4×4 in a junk yard cause the original one was bashed up and rusted out.👍🇺🇲

    I think square body chevy trucks where the best most simply designed trucks ever made. They are real easy to throw a new engine into, and the transmissions can be rebuilt easily yourself if you have any kind of mechanical skills. Once you have a good drivetrain in them they will run forever. I currently have a chevy square body crew cab 1-ton 4X4 that is bad ass.

  • @whiggins101
    @whiggins101 7 месяцев назад

    With cars and trucks of that vintage, you never want to have the first year of production. They always had problems that got worked out in the first year. My dad worked at a GM BOP (Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac) assembly plant from 1946 to 1976. He was a repairman (fixed defects after inspection) and had some crazy stories to tell. At that time "quality control" had a different meaning. It was not at the top of the list.
