@@mattg7952 My dude, you're talking to a comment stealing bot. If you see a hot chick with a number/letter combo after the name, that's a bot and they're not hard to spot.
You need to do right by that truck and do some repairs and make her look nice and shiny. And she deserves it. Fix her up. Make it happy, and then you will be happy. And then everybody's gonna want it so you could sell it for lots of money.
Dude, i have almost the same truck!!! Mine is white also. I went to NC to buy mine a few years ago and tried driving it home with my car on the back. Aftet a few days of fixing it on the side of the road, I had made it to St. Augustine. At that point, I called a tow truck. Mine had sat for years also. After a few years and a lot of work, mine is in really good shape now! I love that truck. Mine is also a 3+3, 454, 4 speed (w/granny), and has a hodges bed. And like you, I was searching for a 4 door, square body, big block truck for a few years. Anyway, thanks for the video! I was reliving my trip back while watching your adventure.
As a broke college kid, I bought an 03 LB7 in Manhattan, KS. Gauge was off and ran out of fuel at 1am on the way back to St.Louis. 3-4 mile walk to the next exit. Worst night of my life at the time but great memories doing dumb truck stuff with my friends.
That deserves a full restoration. Leaving it patina is just a lazy way to call something finished. Custom build that motor and throw the blower on it and change the belt driven AC over to an electric driven AC or change it over to an LS/LT or a diesel. Those things even look awesome and a bit more comfortable with a modern interior swap.
Right because money grows on trees. Patina isnt lazy, even if you don't understand the style. Does the truck need some updating? Sure. But the point in having a ramp truck is to use it as a ramp truck. The bed needs to be powdercoated, polish up or respray the cab but besides that and mechanical stuff I'd leave it alone. A LS would be a waste. Plus watching this is completely free. Just enjoy the ride
I would add a headache rack.. Just in case it happens.. Maybe even over load bags.. I forgot it’s a must add some cool lights with an air compressor.. Now that would be a rig….
I dont even ask questions like "does it run well?" Or "will it get me home?" When buying stuff used. Most people don't know their vehicles. Those that do, often tell you lies because nobody gaf. A nice couple like this might tell you everything is fine because theyre unaware of hidden problems. Other people lie about everything just to get your money. Most people either don't know or won't tell you the truth, so I just base my decisions off what I can see. Play it safe & assume the worst, while paying accordingly.
I had a problem with the ignition switch, mounted to the back of the steering column behind the dashboard. The rod from the cylinder wasn’t moving the switch far enough. So I had to adjust the switch on the back of the column.
I've also replaced like 10 of those tilt column ignition switch "combs" That pot metal piece is a pretty consistent breakage, it's not that easy, but better than working on a 14 Chevy Sonic.
I love the chemistry between you and Eason. The channel is great, content is great, but you guys make it all come together in a perfect package. Keep it coming 😁
No one's plastering that on a truck that drives down the road. Or calling it that on a channel that people watch with their kids. They also aren't towing hoes, hoes aren't driving. Hoes aren't involved at all. Just because it rhymes doesn't mean it's a good idea
Rory that has the channel trail matter offroad channel has a badass square body big block blower I'd say it's a must do , and I'd def ryno liner that inside back bed
I love the old ramp trucks we used to have a couple of them we hauled dirt late models to the track before all the trailers took over . I seen that truck in Jacksonville many times
I love Eason’s approach and take it as it goes. He says everything I was thinking. It’s a modern day Odd Couple. Also, Kyle isn’t rowdy. He’s a mad man! As Hank would say from King of the Hill: “What in thee hell…”
Freiburger doesnt live on the east coast. I'm always down to see more of both, Finnegan's channel is super rad but a "build off" doesn't make sense. It'd work better if Mike just came and wrenched on the ramp truck with the guys.
Before you change the starter; don't forget to check the neutral safety switch. Try starting it in neutral (or give it a good hard shift into park) when it won't crank over. I wouldn't be surprised if it's going out on you.
I remember those years back that the starter is in close proximity to the exhaust manifold and would overheat. Knew a guy who would pour his water cooler on it after it was hot and did the same thing - it would start! A fix is a sheet metal heat shield for the starter
I 454 swapped a 71 c10 years ago and it heat soaked the starter on the 5 mile drive home. Same thing a water bottle with the sippy lid to cool off the starter and she’d fire off again 😂
lol was gonna say the same thing lol says it has a 1/4 tank lol probly has had a 1/4 tank for years as years lol my square body had a 1/4 tank to when I sold it lol told buyer she may have a 1/4 tank , may have a full tank , but I’d put alittle fuel in it asap just to make sure 😂
BEST Time Lapse! That was Mad! Never seen one in traffic like that... Also Boss man throwing down some knowledge, showing apprentice J.H what's up son 😂
as much as I love the old working mans crew cab I would put a normal cab on it and build a sleeper box on the back. having driven across country to pick up cars I always wished I had put a sleeper box on my truck but I never found a rig as perfect for it as that one is .
29:56 To me it looks like that white Megatruck is more than the driver can handle. 47:27 Throw an overdrive(unit or transmission) on it and the gas and wear/tear it saves will pay for itself.
Ol Eason and JH vs ol cleeterson and Mcnutt square body tow rig challenge??tow your race rigs to the track few towns over race the race rigs load up haul ass back to town see who makes it without issues most def!!
Ignition coils are famous for goin bad when they get hit on the old Sqaure bodies . I would always have issues till I figured out what it was back in High School 😝👌. I saw a 4x4 ramp truck about 15 yrs ago . First one over ever seen. Wish I had tried to purchase it . Never saw it again .
Y’all remember that video of the tow trucks ramming each other in Chicago or wherever over a tow? Well, get your popcorn ready, cause Cleet and Squirrel towing and the who and who wreckers are gonna make that look like Sunday school 😆
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Looks like you have a great truck 👍 of course don't trust the gas gauge and it's typical for the starter to be heat soaked with a big block. You just need a heat shield. I think you can give Cleetus and Squirrel a run for their money in the towing business 😂 you need to go repo something off their property real soon 😂 anyway I only recently subscribed and think you got a great channel, keep up the awesome work and the cool videos ✌️🇺🇲
Get a ls from your boy cleet and a procharger. Keep the ac make more power and be more reliable than the old big block. Keep the big big block rebuild it and put it in something else
That’s an R30 series truck. In 88 the old body style heavy duty trucks changed to the R/V series (formerly C/K) where R was the 2wd, and V was the 4wd.
All I can say is I hope you guys put front rear and side blind spot cameras on the GMC, my neighbor had a brand new Silverado jacked up like that and ran over an old lady at a crosswalk, he couldn't see her, rattled him so much he sold the truck a month later.
Yea you could get most all squares till 91 if you asked. They had so much overstock they had to. Still scrapped 100s of tons of parts , the pictures are crazy if you can find them on the innerweb.

You are better off eating an apple and a glass of water than drinking AG1. Scam product.
JH if you ate going to text and drive and make calls and stuff it might be a good idea to cut it out of the vid
Cleet and Squirrel are done! I can't wait to see you guys tow some of their stuff!
22:22 time to call cleet and squarl 1800 yur done
They might be needing Cleet and Squirrel if their truck keeps breaking down
Can’t wait to see them tow cleets brand new race car

@@Bibnigganah! Their ramp truck with the lift truck in tow! 😂 Cummins it, roll coal and take no prisoners.
Put an electric air conditioner compressor in it and do the blower! Converted to my current setup, which runs your current lines and works flawlessly!

@ especially on a day like today when they announced the end of the show 😭💔
Will never be as good as roadkill though

Do the blower!!!! And race cleet and squirrel in their flatbed. It would be so sick!

Smoothest ramp truck roadtrip I’ve seen. Finnegan would be jealous.
Giving cleet and squirrel some big competition
I had a problem with the ignition switch, mounted to the back of the steering column behind the dashboard. The rod from the cylinder wasn’t moving the switch far enough. So I had to adjust the switch on the back of the column.
Those trucks are notorious for burning up the purple wire in the steering column which is why you see them with push to start usually
I've also replaced like 10 of those tilt column ignition switch "combs"
That pot metal piece is a pretty consistent breakage, it's not that easy, but better than working on a 14 Chevy Sonic.
@ryurc3033 yep you know a little something about those to huh lol

Brother, Peg legging once said when you do a revive and drive you got to follow the 7 P's proper previous planning prevents piss poor performance 👌
Love seeing peg references
perhaps pretty perfectly
Love it that SHE loves it. Got a good one there JH. The fact that she asked if you thought she could drive it says it all!!!!!
I have the perfect name for the Tow Company. "Tows and Hoes"

‘One of the best Drivers’ …. Shows all the crashes 😂😂😂😂
I had a 1978 Chevy crew cab 454 automatic transmission, keep the 5 gallon spare gas in the bed, lol it will strand you , BigAl California thanks
Let's go JH respect to you and Justin watching from England keep living your best life's one hell of a team and one hell of a wheel man

Do the blower and toss an electric ac compressor in it!!! Did that conversion to my current rig works great and runs ur current lines!
I would definitely put some kind of paint on the bed and the cab at least stop the rust from getting worse
hey when squarebodys wont crank like that, you do the key switch and wiggle the shifter at the same time, i was screaming at my screen lol

Please team up with finnegan and freiburger from roadkill, since it just got canceled. Help them out and have a badass ramp truck competition!! 💪🏼
they got canceled, they didnt take their money,they are still rich,relax
Someone’s jealous 😂
I was saying help them because their channels don’t have much followers 😂
@@johndoe-jg2fcseriously? They both have more followers and have both been on RUclips longer

Look into a serpentine belt drive to keep the A/C with the blower 😮
No patina, full restore and repaint.
Keep the ac and do rear mounted turbos
The sarcasm is real with these two.. I don’t see a single thing that could go wrong. 😂
Jh I absolutely love the checkered stripe down the cab, plz redo the other side, it brings the whole tow truck look together
I'm impressed... not long did you find an 80's ramp truck. It's not rusty, and it actually runs somewhat reliably.
Cool to have your lady enjoying your projects!
2:54 your not wrong 😂

One ton trucks also til 91
Yea you could get most all squares till 91 if you asked. They had so much overstock they had to. Still scrapped 100s of tons of parts , the pictures are crazy if you can find them on the innerweb.
