I’d still be in love with that truck even if it was half of it, but i guess it’s because my grandpa had a orange one just like it when I was a little kid
To much Crazyness at my family’s yard we have an old 91 Dakota single cab long bed. This truck is clean. Great truck other than a tranny cooler line leaks lol
Just saw one in comparable shape here in Michigan....sold for $1700!! My old '76 GMC is my errand truck, is a 2wd 3/4 ton, and has way more rust than that one! A couple guys came by and offered me $1500 for it...I wouldn't sell...stupid thing runs and drives too nice!! Don't crush it, Jay...they don't make any more of them!!
I grew up with those old trucks. Anything up here in Pennsylvania would have been completely rotted away with the amounts of salt that are used. Thank you for sharing these old vehicles.....
My buddy bought an F250 from the road crew, And we were both amazed to see that the crew put bed liner in the truck and its bed was not beat to hell. Its a 1994 with barely 100,000 miles on it. My 01 Toyota has more miles on it than that truck does amazingly.
back about 15 years ago we had a small junk yard and got in a 78 chevy long bed rusted out old beat up truck. We took the box off of it and we used it to burn trash in. When we got it in it had no keys but the keys from our 1990 Suburban fit the ignition lock and got it started
Whenever I see something like this I try to think back to the day it was purchased brand new and how excited and proud the person must have been to get a brand new car or truck.
@@deanplayer69metalplayer89 I have two squares one I inherited it is a k20 and the other I bought from my neighbor for 300 bucks but both have bad transmissions they both run too
That truck was once a standard three on the tree. Skinny break pedal and a no show in where the window would be for the gear selection on the dash. All-in-all a great farm truck.
I bought one like this for 150 bucks straight six 3 on the floor runs good I kept it around for chores until I blew up my daily driver so he got new tires new clutch oil change plugs wires air filter stereo, I drive it 50 miles a day no problems at all I kinda wish it was a 350 but I'm impressed so far.
You would die if you saw my local junkyard. The place owns a wrecker service so after a while the impounded cars end up in there. Just poor ole minty trucks, some in show room condition.
I know a guy who had one of these, it was an 80s model, he loved that truck, eventually he had to scrap it, because it was just so worn out that it wasn't drivable anymore.
Neighbor has one exactly like this his is blue he has kept his in very very good care he still uses his as a plow truck every year even in a salt environment!
Push on the radio dial, it's probably also an 8-track player. My dad had a 76 Silverado in the same color. Learned to drive in that truck about 20 years ago.
Based on that skinny brake pedal. I’m guessing this truck was originally a three on the tree, and someone swapped in an automatic at some point, and just removed the clutch pedal.
That steering column is like new compared to mine the hole for the pin that holds the shifter is ovaled out from so much use it's so loose might have to resort to using vise grips once it breaks
Cool ride. I had a c10 Scottsdale an 81 I think sold it cheap cheap.... Needed it out of the yard quick that dude I sold it to scored like 400 bucks???.... Regret it all the time these trucks are beasts. At least mine was but I was a teenager just didn't have the time space or know how at the time to keep her.

Jay, my name is Paul, Connie is my wife. Long time watcher first time commenter wtf man I'm the same age as this truck. This makes me want to get violently sick , my stomach hurts. SAVE THIS!
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. Fan of restoring old vehicles Robert Gildea
All old Chrysler/Ford/GM cars,trucks,vans had the high beam switch where they should be ,on the floor just like that ! My 68 Charger RT has the switch there too..On some models up until the early 1990's but rare then..mainly rear drive cars and trucks,that were of older models..the newer stuff then all went with the stupid style they all have now.
That being a 79 or would've had hei from factory 74 was the last year for a points distributor, I own three square bodies I love these trucks too. I think you should save her give her life again!!!
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)
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.
@@gertraba4484 The best this truck can do will be a donor to other trucks. 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.

great job Jay bogg deep burn them tires, how's dad doing god bless hope to hear from you soon
I believe GM introduced the HEI ignition sometime in the mid 1970s, so the distributor in this 1979 truck is likely factory.
1975 i believe
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.
Still see quite a few of these in southern California that look pretty good.
probably had a camper shell on the bed why the inside bed is in such good shape
chek to see there is a ground from the positive batt terminal to the sheet metal in engine bay it will not charge prop if it is missing
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.
