For your information, top speed on that truck was 72 mph, as proved by Trooper Brown of Missouri hiway patrol. That was on 65 going downhill. Glad to see old blue back.
Emily, God bless you and Jerry. And pups of course. Ya'll are my favorite RUclips couple 💑. So 😎😎😎 together. I threw a Frisbee from Florida have her checking the sky 🤣🤣🤣 " incoming " Jerry remembered me talking about my Tammy, what a AWESOME guy. T.S. RACING
Thanks so much for all your comments! The pups and I are very lucky to have a guy like Jerry around! Ripley is still waiting for that Frisbee! 🤣 She's been telling us to stop working and play catch since noon! She's not much of a mechanic... 😁🐶 --Emily
Good video, I have a 64 GMC with a 305 v 6.and it's super heavy duty.. starts everytime and don't leak anything. Also 4on the floor with a flatbed all factory. I'm gonna lower mine upgrade the brakes and Cruze. So I'm glad that I'm not the only person that loves these trucks.
Thanks Andy! They're awesome trucks! What are your plans to lower your 64? This one has a torsion bar front end, which poses a problem. Glad to hear there's another 305 V6 still on the road!!
@@UglyTruckExperience Yes I was going to cut the springs , dropped spindles or bag it not shure because when I have the money I don't have time and when I have time I'm broke, the rear ,a flip kit and c notch . I'm glad I'm not the only person that loves this kinda truck and when I'm done I'll shoot you some pictures...anywhoo you folks take care.
We have a 62 GMC. It was a 305 V6. Pull a mountian. It was a oil burning gas hogg. Swapped in a 283 with a 4 BBl and used a lot less fuel. I drove that truck more years and miles than any other truck we ever owned. We have owned several V6 GMC's over the years. One a truck tractor had a 478 V6 Toro flow diesel engine.
Just found y'all through Squarebody Stuff, happy to subscribe, GREAT channel! Cheers from Alberta, Canada! I have an ugly '63 F100 wrong-box. It's on my channel, but a ways back...I'll get to it soon enough!
That's so awesome! It sounds like you're going to like one of our upcoming projects! 😁🚜 Also, you and I have the only two of those shirts ever made! I guess they're Limited Edition! 🤣 I ordered one for myself to check the quality, and I'm not very happy with them... I still have Karla's email, so when I get new shirts figured out, I'll send you a new one! We really appreciate the support! 👍
@@UglyTruckExperience I liked my shirt. I'm a little bigger 6 ft 260#. The fit is nice and relaxed so many brands get tight in the sleeves. Grey seems to hold up the best for turning wrenches. White gets to dirty, black gets to hot. Maybe We can figure out a way to send you a photo of the 72 k10 I'm working on. It sat for 16 years when the owner passed. The family always wanted to restore it but it didn't happen. It's xtra cool because it's a CST. Mostly original except for someone put a 2 inch lift with hockey pucks and hei distributor.
My old 62 GMC the ball joints became worn. After I priced new ones. I swapped in the entire front crossmember from a 63 chevy pickup. Got rid of the torsion bars and ball type wheel bearings.
@The Collector on the Corner I probably don't want to know... 🤣 But I like that idea! @Squarebody Stuff Whatcha think? Ultimate Showdown: FUEL ECONOMY 🤔🤣🤣
The good and the bad of those old GMC trucks.... the ball bearing type wheel bearings.... it wasn't to much longer General motors started using roller bearings instead of ball bearing wheel bearings..... I owned a GMC half ton with that 305 V-6.... that motor was bomb proof....
Isaac it’ll be fine ... he did a first start on a 305 v6 a few months ago... I remember the odd location of the plugs from my teenage years... love your work especially that wheel bearing race removal... too cool
I promise it's a real thing! 😁 GMC was still making their own engines in 1960, so they had different engine options than Chevrolet. See you Friday! 👋 --Emily
There is not a big block or small block V6 description. They where just a large heavy over built V6 engine. Came in 305-351-401 & 478 cubic inch displacements.
The 305 V6 is a power house family had a grain truck that used it for power and man there was no stopping it. I actually like wearing rubber gloves sometimes on hot days I've found it draws out grease and grime from my hands when it sweat's and that ain't all bad. Good job on getting Ole Blu back in service.

🤯🤯 No wonder the wheel bearings were shot! 🤣

Yes, we'd love to see it! We're on Instagram @uglytruckexperience and Facebook.com/uglytruck.
Ugly truck is beautiful!!
We think so! 😁 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! They are tough, torquey motors! 👍
Thought I saw the 4speed stick with a bull-dog, that right, my boss years ago had one that I drove, it was green and a long bed drop-side. Cool truck.
Hello Roger. Yes you did. We have a couple of these around here and I personally think they are the most fun to drive. Thanks. Jerry and Emily

Thanks for subscribing! We have a few projects like that! 🤣
That would be a really cool truck to car show in . Very unique
It would definitely turn some heads!
My first car,a '63Pontiac had the same key! The good part was you always had a screwdriver with you.
We we just discussing that... It's a push button start, so does that make it a key FOB? 🤣🤣 GMC was wayyy ahead of their time!
Just wanted to let you know I showed of my new UTE shirt today driving our Farmall h through a tractor parade!
That's so awesome! It sounds like you're going to like one of our upcoming projects! 😁🚜

It sounds like that's the way a lot of people go with these trucks. The torsion bar suspension is cool, but it's a lot harder to find parts.
all most to 100,000 😎 just keep doing what your doing ill be next to you when you get there
We're glad you're along for the ride! 😁👍 Thanks for watching!
Your 305 is cooler than my 305.
Maybe, but yours has more cylinders, and I bet if we take them both to the drag strip you'd change your mind. 🤣
@@UglyTruckExperience lol, you got a point there.
@@UglyTruckExperience Take them on a trip and see just how much fuel the GMC can guzzle.
@The Collector on the Corner I probably don't want to know... 🤣 But I like that idea! @Squarebody Stuff Whatcha think? Ultimate Showdown: FUEL ECONOMY 🤔🤣🤣
@@UglyTruckExperience I'm in. Just gotta get mine put together. Just dropped the block off at the machine shop today.

All that plastic in a new truck is waaaay better for the environment! The emissions might be a little lower but we'll see if it's around in 60 years!
Exactly! If we can get enough moss growing on this one, we'll be carbon neutral! 🤣
👍
A big block 305 v6, never heard of such a thing, I’ve heard of all those words, but not in the same sentence
🤣 It's a real thing! I promise! 😁
Check out Walon Wires Old Iron, he’s building a rat rod style truck with the V12.
We will definitely have to check that out! Maybe we'll get our hands on one someday. Thanks for watching! --Emily
Waylon has the V12✊🏾
A couple other people have mentioned him too. We'll definitely have to check it out! Thanks for watching!
Isaac it’ll be fine ... he did a first start on a 305 v6 a few months ago... I remember the odd location of the plugs from my teenage years... love your work especially that wheel bearing race removal... too cool
I have never heard of a big block 305 v six?

@@thecollectoronthecorner7061 There also was a 702 cubic inch V12 which was essentially 2 351 V6's connected together.
How dare you call a GMC ugly!
It's a compliment around here! 😁
