Great job getting her to fire up! 👍👍 That will make a very challenging, but very rewarding project for getting back on the road. Can't wait to see how she progresses😎
That sure looks like a factory bed to me, I’ve seen, driven and worked on and even helped replace the wood floor on one of those. Chevrolet & GMC trucks factory beds were just like that
Are you going to trailer it home ? It would be interesting to see the before/ after video if you change the manifold gaskets . It would be a very cool truck once cleaned and made roadworthy. Great job btw.
@@johnmontague4245 Thanks John, I am glad you liked it. I had thoughts of driving it home, but it is too rough. The rear u-joint is so bad it is ready to fall out, and the intake gasket is shot. The wide open exhaust doesn't help either!
Yes sounds need light fix up then be running excellent also think motor should be 292 6 cylinder not 230 or 250 be to small for and that carb be Cater 450 to 650 CFM and hand choke cable knob dash hook or disconnected!
Recommend having a machine shop rework the head with stellite exhaust valves, hardened valve seats, and bronze valve guides so unleaded gasoline doesn't cause exhaust valve recession. That engine will be working very hard to move that big truck, so exhaust valve recession is highly likely on a mid 60's head like that!
The bypass hose indicates that the engine is a 292. I have a '66 Suburban with the same engine, and I had it running easily after sitting for 30 years.
We own several of those 64 thru 66 trucks. I noticed a few things. the PCV is unhooked. That could be the cause of the moisture in the valve cover. Possibly the pinched vacuum line is supposed to be hooked to the vacuum advance? Thats a later exhaust & intake manifold. And there is a governor under the carb. Most likely a 250 cubic inch engine. We used a 64 chevy with a 250 and granny low 4 speed for several years as a wrecker. and the little six pulled several tremendious loads. and it did not guzzle fuel like the larger 292 sixes do.
Actually the larger straight 6 motors had more pulling power than the small block V8 but the V8 had much more torque. The Fords were the same way. I was in Romney West Virginia one time hauling apples for my dads store and loaded 100 bushels of apples and another gentleman loaded 80 bushels on a identical truck like dad’s he left ahead of me by a few minutes and I caught up with him on Cheat Mountain and passed him and a little later I had stopped for gas and he also stopped he asked me what motor was in dad’s truck and when I told him it was a 300 six cylinder he gave me a cussing and called me a liar because he knew I was loaded heavier and he had a 460 V8 the station attendant stepped up and told the guy to behave or leave and that it was a 6cyl because he had just checked the oil so I opened the hood and let him look. After he calmed down he asked what the gas mileage was and I told him 10 mpg loaded or empty it really didn’t care he flew mad again because his big old motor got 8 mpg at best empty
I have a question: I've been working on vehicles since back in 1949....I've NEVER heard of an Engine SKIPPING? What is that? Did You mean MISSING? Maybe?
the patina on that truck is art. I'd buy it just for that. Also, wtf is it with the screens everywhere? Is it like, in your area, "honey, what do i do with this crappy old screen?" "Put on top the old dead truck on the back 40"
Funny stuff. I never did figure out how those screens got onto the red truck. That was over 8 feet up. How did they get there and why? I'll never know.
The filter material inside is weak, and there is not enough of it. There is a video on RUclips where some filters are cut apart to see how they are made, and the poor quality of the Fram is shocking.
I use to have two of those trucks one time one a 1966 chevy c-20 and a second one a a 1961 the 66 had a 250 in line 6-cyl motor and the 61 had a 327 motor bother of the motors and trans out last the trucks my two trucks were rust buckets to far gone for me to fix
that was a ignorant comment exhaust manifold gasket will not cause it to run ragged like that more than likely stopped up exhaust to fix it get it unstopped or replace it
I don't know why this dude is going deep fake here. That is not the original engine for one thing it has a friggin EGR valve on the side of the carb plate. Having grown up around those trucks it woulda had the 348 in it or a 283 if it was a small block truck. The big block trucks were mostly a 454. I know folks say they had the 409. Wrong the 409s were mostly in the Impala cars. Some trucks in the south east USA were being sold with the truck version of the 396 which was more common and more commonly mistaken for a 409 motor considering they share similar features in the fleet trucks. Usually those trucks had gigantic fuel tanks is how U could tell if they had a big block engine in em some of the GM special orders had 2-3 fuel tanks on em like my Hump Back wrecker. That has a tank behind the seat and two saddle tanks on the outsides of the frame and it was factory like that not something anyone did to it. That has the original 348 motor in it. It is a 1965. The Hump back wreckers without the deep side boxes like mine R rare and that is because they had the gigantic fuel tanks. Most of the more common Hump Backs had shallow boxes on the drivers side because the fuel tank was there on the drivers side and deep boxes with no tank on the pass side...

Richard love looking at all your videos just started watching I
Thanks again!
Great restoration project. Your so blessed getting this old Iron running again. Thanks for sharing! 💯❤️
Success-nicely done! I really like these will it start/resurrection videos!
When taste testing fuel filters folks always have some fine Kentucky whiskey handy to handle the after taste..
Great job getting her to fire up! 👍👍 That will make a very challenging, but very rewarding project for getting back on the road. Can't wait to see how she progresses😎
Thanks David! Yes, she needs a lot of work, but it would be so cool to drive.
The flatbed was a dealer install option when you purchased the chassis cab they didn't offer a regular bad on one ton trucks like modem trucks have
Mines been doing that for 20 years. Everybody says it's normal. It don't use oil so I don't worry about it. Great video.
That sure looks like a factory bed to me, I’ve seen, driven and worked on and even helped replace the wood floor on one of those. Chevrolet & GMC trucks factory beds were just like that
That would be awesome if that is a factory bed. Thanks for the tip.
As a rule on those old trucks and cars if the numbers are all perfectly aligned that is original miles.
I love C30 and bigger!
I love that you save this thing.
Wish there was something around here, like that.
Thanks! I love this truck.
oh you got the good trk the one with the 4 spd manual trans
It is common for the230 and 250 engine block to crack internally the oil and coolant will mix together
Greetings from Scotland. Just about to watch the video. Looking forward to it.
This looks a challenge…we shall see.
Cheers
Are you going to trailer it home ?
It would be interesting to see the before/ after video if you change the manifold gaskets . It would be a very cool truck once cleaned and made roadworthy.
Great job btw.

Great save Richard, 60-66 was always my favorite Chevy truck style
Thanks Paul. Mine as well.
My favorite body styles as well
that was fun to watch do you sell cars and trucks you fix ? cheers i wouyld buy that truck.

@@whattherust Maybe to restrict rpms; I am thinking. Sort of like a rev limiter.
@@vayabroder729 Ah, OK, like a restricter plate. I did not see one, but I could have missed it.
Great find an old truck rebuilt motor reman master cylinder it was running sooner than you might think which is a score good luck with your new toy
Thanks! Three repairs to do right away. Carb, intake gasket, and rear u-joint. It should be driveable then.
Great job sir !! Can't wait for the up date 👍
Thank you!
Great video of the 65
Thanks Luke!
Good job glad it runs
Hello Mr. Prague
Nice job. You bought this Yes? Is there other videos on this one
Be well
I did, but the deal fell through, so the truck is still sitting there.
Just curious. How
Wild. The float pin fix was brilliant!
Well, it worked, but there was a lot of luck involved.
As far as I remember you're not supposed to see much of his back in between the points do a big spark means you capacitors gone
My uncle and my first cousin both had '56 GM cars. My uncle's was a Buick and my cousin's was a Chevy. Surprisingly the keys for both were the same.
Years ago I had a worn out GM key, and it fit nearly every GM ignition I tried it in. I still use one like it.
I was surprised to see the 6 cylinder. My dad had one when I was a kid that had a factory 283
I have seen sixes even in a C60, but it was a 292. I expect the truck is going to be pretty slow.
thank you for you're video
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Great video. I have many of these and going through the same with some “Will it run stuff”. Good work man!! Subscribed!!
Thank you! I will check out your channel!
looks like a 292 am I correct ?
I am not certain. I was thinking a 230, but I am not clear on the external differences.
I always run frame filters with no problem.
Very cool great vid!!! 👍👍
Thank you for the support!
@@whattherust 👍🙂
Nice work!
Thanks!
a good B12 berriema's cleaning down the throat if it isn't the ignition system. Be fun to see
Staggered motor mounts would ID as 292.
6” side cover 292
4” side cover 230/250
Great info. Thank you.
How late did Chevys run the straight sixes? I've watched your videos for a while and the latest year I've seen so far is 1972.
I am not sure, but it was well into the 70s at least.
@Prague Life, but you're right. There did come a time I simply stopped seeing them. I can't quite remember when that was.
Actually the larger straight 6 motors had more pulling power than the small block V8 but the V8 had much more torque. The Fords were the same way.

You should use creaio oil to loosen up the carburetor.
gr8 job sir. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Sweet
Great work !
Thank you!
I have a question: I've been working on vehicles since back in 1949....I've NEVER heard of an Engine SKIPPING? What is that? Did You mean MISSING? Maybe?
Yes, same term. Growing up in the Northeast we called it skipping.
@@whattherust 0K
Skipping? How far north and east cuz I’ve been back and forth between Maryland and Connecticut my whole life and missing was always the term

awesome truck mate, need to get that gasket the go do some jobs with the trailer right away XD
Exactly. It has a very nice trailer hitch, which I plan to use a lot.
Probably a 250 Cid it has an egr valve on it so 1973 or later engine
EGR valve in '65?
That is odd. Perhaps the manifold was replaced and a poor quality gasket was used.
Where you finding all these vehicles
It varies. I find out about a lot through my youtube channel. The rest are word of mouth, Craigslist, and FB Marktplace.
looks like the spare tire was at the front of the truck passenger side looks like you set the air breather on top
I think you are right. There were tires all over the place, but that one looks correct.
👍👍👍👍🤙🤘✌️

I don’t think Chevrolet offered a 327 until 1962 year models in 1961 it would have been a 283
@@johnbourgeois1414 The trick question for Mona Lisa Vito in court scene in My Cousin Vinny 🤣😂
Hi! If it is the org. eng. it has to be a 292 cid..
Hi there I drive a Datsun 1200 bakkie here in south Africa 1985 model
Thats a 292 look how tall the push rod covers are the lower displacements blocks have a shorter stroke and block and the side covers are not as tall
Could be a very cool and mean rig
Exactly. This thing oozes cool.
If the lifter covers are around 6 inches tall a 292 engine is what you have!
Thanks for the info. I believe that is what the truck has.
Its uh '73 or '74 250 or 292. It has an EGR valve.......
Congrats
Thanks! This one had me scratching my head for a while.
Most Likely a 292, but could be a 230 or 235
Definitely 73 or later with EGR
I KNOW YALL SAW THE CAMERA POINT AT THE WHITE BALL
Yup
and now we saw you going McGyver on a carburetor. :D what's next, fixing brakes with a ball point pen and three paper clips? XD
Thanks Lohar. I tend to take brakes more seriously.
That's a lot newer engine than the truck - those didn't have EGR til much later.
Right. I think the manifold was changed. I noticed a couple of the mounting bolts snapped off.
Get her road ready
If the side covers are high, its a 292.
Remember that old Quaker State oil would collect moisture just like you see there....normal !!!
I remember my Dad never liked Quaker State. Maybe that is why?
That motor was swapped . Has EGR valve . No EGR in 65...
Could be, or a manifold swap.
Camara man not talking, what a pleasure !!
Come on, I love Christina’s commentary.
that was a ignorant comment exhaust manifold gasket will not cause it to run ragged like that more than likely stopped up exhaust to fix it get it unstopped or replace it
Motormount in front of the fuel pump=a 292
I did not know that! Thanks for the info.
That is the parking brake
Nobody in these videos is bright enough to check date codes on tires give ya an era especially when there R six tires
If it's original it should be a 235 I believe.
I was excited until I saw the Fram😭🤣
Right, that has got to go.

No 454s in 65 and more than likely not even a 348. probably the biggest you got in a ton truck was a 327.you could get a 409 in a medium duty.
