    Thanks for the anonymous shoutout at 7:18 Jay, I appreciate it! \(^-^)/ Been here for over 2 years when you were 1.4k ish and had THE ROLLING DEAD Cadillac Hearse that you since scrapped.
    Interested in the radio tho, is she an 8 track? You'll know if you poke thru and find a flap where the radio stations are at. ^^
    If you're taking the radio out, I'd like the wiring harness and the faceplate/knob around it if ya can. If you do, I promise to make a revival video! ^-^
    As for the rest of the truck, it would be nice to build her back to a farm truck, although you're gonna need a lot of patience with the wiring/interior! Good summer project?? But you need to finish your S10 FIRST, so... as long as the engine is healthy (sounds like it) and the wiring/fluids aren't jumbled/leaking go for it! ^^ Again, thanks for the "anonymous" shoutout Jay, let us know what you're gonna do!

      HEY NK.that radio in the C10 Square body came thru as a radio delete, it seems the dealer installed a fender antenna when all fact radio trucks had the antenna in the W/S . Harness from the factory can be found in any GM product of that era, Vega Harnesses even fit Chevelles . Pont, etc of that vintage .not a 8 track although I had a fact AM/8 track from a Monte Carlo ........

You're right about the non 8 track, twas hard to see with 360p quality. Happens with Jay's fresh videos lol Been tryin to grab any fact 8 tracks as I can as they're rare, but not too valuable as the format hasn't reached the hipster wormhole... yet

    Hello Jay Smart it is restorable. Have you ever had someone scrap an old mustang mowett riding lawn mower at your scrap yard . They don't make them anymore but they are not that rare they made alot of them and there is still a lot of them left. If a person restored one of those old lawn tractors they will not make a profit they would take a loss because the old mustang mowett riding lawn mower don't bring much at auction fully restored.

    I saw the thumbnail and was like “what?! No!!” But man that thing is pretty shot. I agree, it is a shame to scrap it all, would have been nice if he sold it to someone who can use parts off it, but some people are just too lazy for that.
    I’ve got a ‘76 shortbed GMC I’m working on right now. NH truck it’s whole life so it’s pretty crispy, but hasn’t been all butchered and messed with like that (one owner before me)

    I believe GM introduced the HEI ignition sometime in the mid 1970s, so the distributor in this 1979 truck is likely factory.

  • @johnnyjohnson5361
    @johnnyjohnson5361 5 лет назад +1

    The HEI distributor in the truck is correct for the year. Gm introduced hei in 1975 . And is much more reliable than the old points system that gm did away with. Don't crush it save it. Those old square body's bring good money here in Michigan where I'm from.

      If the bed wasn't crashed hard in the left rear corner, it would probably make it onto another truck. I'm thinking that crash and the rust over rear wheels make the bed a goner.

As far as I can see, you may be able to salvage the tailgate, front bumper and some trim pieces and maybe the inside and right side of the bed. Other than that, this thing will cost you far more than its worth to restore. I agree, the style of the Squarebody was pretty forward and modern for it's time.
