Interested in pre 1980 abandoned cars or trucks/ barn finds. (Not interested in foreign cars) and 1st and 2nd gen Cummins (89-98) diesels only
I believe your father is younger than me. I don't like hearing him say he doesn't like getting old, because it makes me feel older. I lost my dad two months ago. Enjoy the time you have to spend with yours. There were no video cameras back in the 1970s when my dad was teaching me to spin wrenches. These are priceless memories you're making.
age is a preditor,whom stalks us all our lives
Travis is in his late 20's and his Dad cannot be older than late 50's, which is my age and I'm not willing to be "old" yet!
I love the videos.
I just turned 64 and I know the feeling. Mentally I feel 30 years younger but my body reminds me every day that I'm getting older.
@@TheMentalblockrockYup, I’m 65, and I thank God everyday that I can still turn wrenches on my old Chevys.

All awesome TV Fathers
Your pops is the best! Another awesome video. Can’t wait until the next one!
Absolutely love the collection of memorabilia Travis. Please keep showing this when you can!
Ok will do.
When I see one of your videos, I pretty much stop whatever I’m doing to watch it. The look of your pumps in the night is iconic of a gone bye era. I LOVE your channel so much. What gift you give us! Thank you!
That means a lot thank you. We work hard on these videos it’s great to see that you are excited to watch them.
Always great to watch Travis and Rick working on projects together!
The interchangeability of Chevy parts makes a project like yours Travis go much smoother and quicker for folks like you and your dad.
Yes saves a lot of money
Even easier is mechanical parts, body parts and trim, for 65 thru 73 Mustangs. I bought my 68, 47 years ago and can easily get everything for it, and probably will be able to for a couple more decades.
Very cool old gas pumps. Those are things you rarely if ever see anywhere !
Your dad is so funny lol sitting there in his own little world. While you struggle with the motor on the cherry picker lol
Awesome! Another El Camino! I'm back working on my 59 El Camino now! Great video Travis! ✌🏻
Thanks brother ! Keep trucking
Travis, it’s nice to see you and your father working together on these projects. It was great to see you had this one started.
It's not the "brake fluid that turns into dust". It's the metal of the wheel cylinders that's broken down into dust same as the master cylinder.
I watch alot "will it run" video's. Is it me or do most explanations of the current condition of the classics always go like it's expected that somehow they should all be survivors. Buy the best you can get and RESTORE IT. Paint, Body, Power Train ect RESTORE IT!
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. I can agree with a running vehicle Mr. Rick parts vehicle for your El Camino is ok in my book ! I would guys if you make the black one running may not be a bad idea; many ideas come to mind but that’s for next video! Love when you guys work together! 🍩☕️👀😎👍
It's great seeing young guys interested in old cars and the pumps and the history of it all. Us old guys will leave this earth some day and we can't let true history die with us! Great seeing you and your Dad working together. I lost my Dad when I was 8 years old! Now I'm teaching my Grandkids how to maintain and repair cars and impart my knowledge to them when ever I can.
Tell them all you can
I have tail light lenses from my 60 Impala if you need any. My first car 40 years ago.
The return spring for the clutch pedal is an over-center spring, mandatory on all 3-finger borg/beck style clutches. (diaphragm style with hydro. actuated fork clutches use a smaller/lighter spring iirc)
Probably the most healthy, wholesome father/son relationship since Andy and Opie. I love seeing you two work together. Reminds me of visiting my Granddad to do oil changes at his farm.
Hey, your dad is giving out some Strong Fred Sanford Vibes crawlin along with the motor & stand in his pickup! 😂😂 😎👍
Yeah those El caminos used to be everywhere.. I don't know why everybody seems to like to abuse them... When they were new I mean
Always good to see another early 60s Chevy saved. From an era when car manufacturers really let their designers off the leash!
Nice work selling the Dodge! And of course I love to see the pumps, and on that note I love seeing the household appliances rebuilds too, like that washing machine. Definitely agree with keeping the guts in the pumps, that’s much cooler to me than the convenience of an empty one. Looking forward to part 2 of this El Camino!
The hose clamp conversation was the best!🤣🤣
El Caminos Are Totally Cool.
Love your pumps and signs! 😊
Thank you it’s like a hobby within a hobby.
A ratchet strap around the center circumference of the tire really helps to spread the beads apart when setting the beads.
I was also going to make this suggestion
Awesome video, as always. That green & white TEXACO pump brought back a lot of unforgettable memories. My uncle had a TEXACO gas station in Cuba in the 1950s. Cheers from Florida.
More than once I have had 'professional' tyre fitters insist it isn't necessary to line up the dot with the valve. Even when asking them to do it, they refused. So much easier to balance when it's done correctly.
You always put out great father and son videos🏁🏁
I am 80 and agree it is terrible getting old. I hate mowing grass. But when you and Your Dad work on an old car or truck I watch.
Nice amsteur mechanic..shade tree builds..
Good golly your pumps are NICE..!
Father & son frolics...
CARRY ON
Just swap the spider gears from one into the other. It might be a bit noisy but it'll drive.
Great progress on the 60 El Camino
Your restored pumps are beautiful.
I'm looking forward to more on the El Camino
U guys are so funny 😂
I agree with your comments regarding aftermarket parts. They are garbage..
I was the original owner of a 2000 Monte Carlo. The oil pressure sending unit worked perfectly for 17 years, which was a General Motors original part from the factory. When it failed, all that is available is aftermarket parts, which, are conveniently labeled “genuine GM”. They are not.
I believe these replacements are made in Mexico of inferior construction. Buyer beware.
I went through five consecutive ( aftermarket) oil pressure sending units, each of which failed, with the result of almost frying my engine each time from massive oil leakage, and having to be towed in twice.
I have since sold the car, warning the purchaser about this problem!
Thanks, GM for outsourcing your parts and labeling them as “ genuine”.
Good job boyz!.... Pumps look great!
Anything can be saved, looks to be a fun project for guys your capabilities and nice shop. Looks better already - it will make a fine Rat Camino, I like the '60 body style best on the El Camino. Just put a drivetrain, suspension and brakes, a windshield and the minimum for an interior and drive it as is body wise (well, new floors).
Was just thinking I haven't seen anything from you guys in a while and a new video pops up. My first car was a 60 Chevy Impala 2dr Hdtp but always wanted an El Camino. Hope that engine runs. ;-)
Good to see you two working together as you restore these classic vehicles to being road worth as you build your relationship.

41:48 your dad sounds like john wayne.....lol
Great to see Rick more on your videos. Makes me grin when you two exchange comments.
Also. I like the gas pump features too. 👍
Hey Travis Hey Rick Great Video lots of good content and the variety was certainly worth the watch. Back in the early 80’s I helped restore a 59 El Camino. It was practically all there it just needed paint and the tailgate needed some metal work like a lot of them did. Thank You 🙏
Thanks for showing the sale and pick up of your truck. So many You Tubers never show what happens to the vehicle after the initial content. It's nice to know what the rest of the story.
Good to see you guys saving another cool car
Great video!!! Suggestion for you. If you plan to show content like the pumps (which was great), I would carve it off into its own video, even if shorter. That way you can name it accordingly and get new views to your channel for those seeking out that type of content and maybe they will stay for the car content too!
I enjoy watching your channel. The interaction between you and your Dad is great. He reminds me of my late dad in so many ways.
Keep the vids coming.
Interesting review of the pumps. My father in law has a shell station in Ohio started his station in 1919.
Hi pumps were old style and everyone wanted him to change to new ones. He wouldn't change.
I like the pumps that you have and are restoring. It is hard to work on cars during the summer, here in south Alabama it is hot, and the humidity is high making it difficult to work during the summer months until it starts cooling down in October. Enjoy working with your dad while you still can, my dad has been gone now for three years, I used to enjoy working with him on our projects as you and your dad are doing.
Your dad is so cool 😁👍🏻💪🏻 Like to see you working on your projects 😍👍🏻 Greetings from 🇸🇪
Your pops voice sounds like the guy on tv years ago “tom Beaudet And we’ll leave the light on for you.”
Your dad is the funniest!
I’m going on 70 and I hear you that is does suck getting old and I love restoring old cars and motorcycles but it’s getting tough now.
Another excellent video! Great work, as always, Travis and Rick!
It's very nice for Dads and Sons to be able to work together. I'm starting to find this out !!
Fantastic video !! You and your dad work so well together and you can tell in his eyes he is extremely proud of you and your skills. That is pure gold. On the other hand, that El Camino looks like it was cobbed together from a few other cars and painted with a roller. No matter for you and dad--you two will make it something anyone would be proud to own. Love the gas pump restorations. People pay serious dough for those. Go get 'em. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Thanks for following along with the journey and the kind words
Great build project…Thanks for sharing men.
If you ever want to use some good silicone sealant that when it sets you have to pry it apart try ac delco grey our local abc auto parts sells it O’Reilly can get it for you or Amazon or eBay this is some great sealant
You guys do good work.👍
I like those gas pumps ...you did a good job on the gas pumps ....looks nice all lite up at night ...
I Love those old Chevy’s keep saving them. Thank you.
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Travis
Always !!
I think it's really awesome how y'all use old tools and old trucks to work with!
On all my tire machines they had bottom air jets that would activate when you depressed the air pedal all the way (half way for just regular air thru the hose) . You would lift the tire to seat the top bead, mash the jets (simulates an ether blast) and then let the air hose finish inflating the tire. Like the content!
Yes sir that feature is pretty much standard on tire machines to set that bead.
HEY! Hello and thumbs UP!!!
Love the signs and pumps
Your pops is a superstar. How do dads get better. Let him know how great we think he is. 🙏🏼💯 cheers from Ohio
Hello From Aurora, Ohio
Awesome video as always Travis and Rick.
You gonna be able to get a windshield for that ? 👊😎👍
New sub, enjoyed your content 😊thanks
Respect from Florida for working in that desert heat! It gets pretty hot here but MAN does it get hot in AZ!
Great channel loving the videos and the cool old cars
Thanks for watching. I’ve been in Florida where it was 92 degrees and 90% humidity and it’s about the same amount of miserable.
Great choice! 60 chevy is such a great looking car. Having an early El Camino is so cool.
Hello from Dubai!
I'm suprised you are interested in old American cars.
Thanks for tuning in from Dubai
"It's a DRY heat!"
Don't take the time with your Dad for granted..your lucky to have such a good friend.
Yes I enjoy every day
try swaping spider gears nothing to lose art
Great to see the El Camino work starting!
You two are busy guys. Thanks for your good videos I really like them.
Glad you enjoy we dabble in a few different things
Great work Travis ,love the gas pump collection…
Thank you
Back at Camino ranch 👉🏼⛽️✊🏼
Oh yeah baby, Travis is back on the track ❤❤❤❤.
Boy that forklift sure is handy! Wish I had one!!
Thanks, Travis. You and your Dad work good together. Those old 60s are cool. I have a 68, my grandpa bought new.
Ugh! Those 305s are anemic in 2 bbl form. Gotta watch the timing chains, they generally go before 100k miles. Not a great engine. But they are built for unleaded fuel. I had lots issues with one in a 78 Regal I owned from '87-'89. Love you two working together. Thanks.
I have several boxes of Ideal-Tridon made in USA hose clamps various sizes because the ones made in China drive me crazy with their poor quality. I am willing to pay more the downside being you don't get the clear box of assorted dryer clamps that annoy your dad.
If i ever got lucky and won the the lottery i would build my dream shop vintage service station 2 gilbarco model 924 double gas pumps. Matching set of tall island lights. A eco meter air and water. A lubar oil can display. I would like to find service station merchandisers from 1940-1950 and many other vintage things
Walked nearly 10 miles one night when my spider gears broke. On a Vega. With a 350LT and Turbo 400.
It was a long walk. Wrecking Yard gave me a 30 day warrantee on my new rearend. Broke that one too.
Vega the lightest fastest and cheapest car I have owned. It would beat anybody. Roll easy off the light
Really looking forward to part 2! Great project.
I love the signs and pumps on your yard! Unfortunately the price in Europe for these USA pumps is more than double then what you pay in the US.
Is it me ...or is it they always find the right parts at a swap meet I never hear about and a whole lot of "friends" giving deals ....and a lot of bodies for 1500 when on marketplace they're going for 3000?
But always swearing to high heaven you can do it yourself inexpensively.....
I remember bringing the other 60 El Camino together, I'm going to enjoy this series. What color are you going to paint the final product?, the 60 Chevy you drove back from New Jersey what ever happened to it?
Your Dad reminds me of Sam Elliot. He has a similar deep voice and way of expressing himself. Dad: I'm not gonna call that guy a liar, but...😀
Love the gas pumps restoration’s. Thanks Travis. You and Richard have had a time with this El Camino. Can’t wait for the start and drive. Thanks for Sharing! 💯👊👍
Love it all! Special times working with your Dad like that! Used to do the same with mine before he passed. Cherish it! Really enjoy your channel! 👍🏼😊
Not 100 per. Sure but 305s the dipstick is always on passenger side I'm thinkin you have a 350 there without knowing num.
I bought my first Chevy when I was 15. I’m 65 years old now. I always look forward to the vids. Please keep on keeping on.
Those Pumps are Beautiful ! 👊😎👍
Thank you
I can vaguely remember those type of pumps. I was born in 56. By the time I started to drive they were more modern looking, mechanical though of coarse. Thanks guys.
I like you guys because you're doing things like I can do at home. You're not getting a new shop with lifts and working bays and fancy expensive stuff. Thanks for your hard work.
To hear you complain about condition,geesh! In ct,that Camino would be rotted past what yours is ,when I was 17 in 1972. What did it cost?
Fine job gentleman, greetings from Spain
Thanks for watching from Spain.
Yes sir it was a common thing to blow them spider gears out of those rear axles. Friend of mine had a 75 Chevrolet and he was always blowing them spider gears out. I had a 56 Chevrolet and purchased the engine he had in his 57 (he wrecked it) and I blew the spider gears out of that rear axle one Sunday evening over at a friend of mines house. Had to leave for out of town that evening and blew the spider gears out of my rear axle (stupid kid). Well we went over to another fellows house and got a rear axle center section out of a 55 Chevrolet that had an automatic (mine was a three speed with 3:70 gears original) that was a 3:56 geared set up. No matter we chunked it in and during the week where I worked I remover the center section and cleaned it out (still had chunks of the spider gears in it, we just got out the big pieces). Seems as though those cars either came with a 3:70 gear for standard transmissions and 3:56 gears for automatics. It appears as though you could possibly replace the spider gears from one axle set-up to the other as they should interchange and come up with a spare providing the pinion and ring gear assemblies are not damaged.🥸👍👍👍👍
