    The smoke was the truck's way of saying "Thank you for fixing me. Now, let me help YOU by getting rid of those skeeters you were talking about." lol I love these old Chevy trucks. My Dad had a 67 with the same setup but was Red with a White cab top. Talk about a work horse!! Myself, I had the 68 GMC 3/4 ton with the monstrous V6 and 4-on-floor(1st was a Granny EXTREME). Uprooted many stumps with that Granny Gear. Great for baling hay, too. Ease out in Granny and let it just idle. I'd then hop out and walk along tossing and stacking bales as it slowly crept across the field. Had an older Brother with a 76 JEEP J20 with a max load of firewood rounds and got stuck(yes, even in 4x4). Normally my Dad's 67 C10 would pull him out, but one time got stuck as well. That 68 GMC pulled BOTH out while still being chained together. Dad's 67 could really carry the mail where my 68 could haul the Post Office building. lol Totally geared different, but equal in performance in their own Class.

    We have a 1970 C10 we found at a Memorial Day garage sale. Best $450 we ever spent! Have rebuilt the entire front end & rewired the alt. & reg. circuit as well as replaced the rubber fuel line with a metal one we made. The rubber line was running up across the butterfly exhaust manifolds!! Some people are dumb regarding gasoline fuel safety! Had another rebuild the 350 Turbo-Hydramatic transmission before he retired. Even hauling a 26 bales of 3-tie alfalfa at 50 to 55 mph the old truck attains 17.1 mpg at a steady 1,710 rpm. Amazingly slow engine speed from the factory. Must have real tall gears.Even came with the original warranty plate from Romania Chevrolet in Eugene, Oregon. We live in Dayton Or. Great to see your old C10 running again!

    I’ve been binge watching your videos in no particular order. I’ve liked all of them but I have to leave a comment. I’m in my 40s and I’ve been on RUclips for a minute, watching different videos, trying to figure out what I enjoy watching the most. Watching you get these things to fart smoke and breathe life, even if only for a little while… it’s one of the most impressive things I’ve seen on here. I’m assuming you’re not that old but you conduct yourself in a mannerism that appeals to older folks. I can show your videos to my grandson and not have to worry one bit. Thank you! Please keep the awesome content coming🤙🏻🇺🇸❤️‍🩹

    2 years ago I bought a rotted body 74 k10 for $500 out of some guys backyard. Every panel was rusted, the tires comepletely flat. Hadn't even been registered since 2009 let alone run. Hooked up a battery and a fuel can to the pump similar to this video. It started up without hesitation. I6 as well. These motors just want to run, it's amazing.

    Excellent, Jennings few more details could be a daily driver~ Love my old Chevy trucks, bought a 66 with a messed up impala engine in it, and rather than mess with the exhaust manifolds, ran with another 400 "rebuilt" from the junkyard, repainted and loved the three speed with the EL extra-low so a farmer could pull his plow~ anyways tortured that thing by putting three tons of roofing material onward the dump~ when we got back from three days of driving from CA to WI the main crank was loose and wobblin, sold it for 500, the exact same price I paid, but surely painted inside and out, seat was okay, and needed nothing~ but got 15 years out of that ole truck~ at oakland airport had the license plate stolen and 3 stereos were stolen during the night over the years~ will take manual shift over automatic any day of the week~.....a Heavy-duty clutch does nothing but cause leg cramps, and High capacity oil pumps are the source of your oil leaks~ am crippled now, but truly adore your spirit~
