I love that when Kevin has issues he keeps the camera rolling. Thank you for acknowledging that even with hundreds of cars under your belt things still go sideways sometimes. It makes the rest of us feel better!
Good inspiration for when you have to replace same gasket several times in a row... Heck I appreciate time gaps, I have a 82 k10 that broken supply chain, broken ankel, and other random life has staled the build.
If he didn't there wouldn't be a video this truck started off the bat if he didn't make a series of mistakes it would be a 5 min video. It looks almost intentional, like why put a pos carb that didn't even have jets. I swear sometimes he does shit the wrong way for the video. He always tries to fire shit with the shit gas, "it sat 20 years" thats a great idea. Then sit there trying to light it off break clean.
In a world where every channel wants to go bigger and better keeping it simple and consistent is always a refresh great video can't wait to see the shop used more
Tip for newbies. Always tune carb on stock set up. It'll be close enough for startup with new cam. Make sure it doesn't get hot before cam swap too. Avoid wiping out cam lobes on run in
You guys inspired me to bring a barn find back to life. I'm more of a bike guy due to space constraints, found a rolling dirt dobber spider nest disguised as a V-Twin Yamaha that sat up for over a decade. Took a few weeks but I used some of your tricks and started the old girl up for the first time today. Big fan of your work, it's great saving these classics from the junkyard.
@@myk1_spfacebook marketplace. Always good to bring a buddy for an extra set of eyes. Don't feel like you're obligated to buy unless you really like what you see. It's horrible to pick up a new project, find out it's way worse than you initially thought, then get burned out banging your head against the wall working on it.
@myk1_sp mostly just word of mouth. People know I like fixing old stuff so when they hear about it they tell me. You can also set up RSS feeds to scan local classifieds for stuff too.
Kevin: sets up camera for burnout- driver tire spins Kevin: moves camera to driver side- passenger tire spins 😂😂 Perfect closer for the video of this Chevy fighting you sir 👍✌️
Was a rough day today. So glad I got the notification Kevin had new content out. Adult beverage and junkyard digs after wife and kid are in bed. Quality alone time. Thanks!
Its a great day when Junkyard Digs uploads a new video. I finished Daltons new video and then i came here. Toms car is pretty cool and i can tell a lot of work went into it. And i always like seeing a budget build
Runs pretty good Definitely sounds a bit louder in the exhaust she scoots now but needs a bit more tuning sounds like It needs another Valve Adjustment not running great after the short drive but damn she will smoke them tires niw 45:28 @Junkyard Digs
And I have to say until I blew up the bottom end spinning three bearings because I had it in a my 78 Chevy c20 dark green and white center stripe running down the sides and the tailgate long bed 2wd farm truck,I had a 84 Chevy 305 H.O. sbc 58cc 416 casting heads and the summit racing equipment 1102 cam kit and it was a badass sbc but I never should have put it in my c20 3/4 ton truck
I really appreciate that with all you troubles you film it all. Some RUclipsrs everything is perfect after doing noticeably a lot of work off camera. You share the mistakes you make and fights you made... that makes you bad ass! Thanks for all your content!
I would actually call this video a resounding success; perhaps not in the way the 'build' came out, but entertainment-wise it was an absolute hoot!😸Also, it very clearly showed what any young or novice backyard mechanic on a budget might be facing when doing something similar, so I'd say you succeeded in showing us all what you wanted to show us! And yay for the shop tigers spicing up the video as well!🐅Meowr!
Dude, you're a GREAT instructor! You are one amongst thousands. So glad you fully describe the issues you have and the solutions. Thank you for the continuing education. Smart fella. Much appreciated.
Brings back many memories of my 77 c10 ,305 manual trans. It was my first of many c10 Chevy trucks. I would love to find one like that here in PA for 750,unfortunately around here most of them have become one with the earth.
Quite similar to my old truck. I had an '80 GMC, Black w/ red interior, 1/2 ton, 4x4, stepside 4-speed. Mine was a 350 / 4 barrel right off the showroom floor.
This is the way most of my r/r projects go.....and then I pay someone else to fix the damn things the right way....But just look how much fun I had!!! FUN Video, Kevin! A+++++
kevin and mook are such a good couple! They are perfect for eachother and I wish there were more women just like mook! she loves cars, animals, and she has a great sense of humor! she's an angel Kevin great choice sir! I'm glad to see you guys are happy and I wish you guys the best and most happy marriage!
Hey Kevin, I love your videos and have been watching them for years. May I recommend 2stroke gas as start fluid? Keep up the good work. Greetings from Gardnerville NV
Since you mentioned red RTV, I thought I'd share a fun anecdote. When I was in my early 20's, my girlfriend at the time had this beat Subaru that barely ran. I did the plugs, and found that cylinder 4's plug was cross-threaded. Getting it out destroyed the threads, and I wasn't working on it in a shop so I couldn't helicoil it. Her dad, an old-school diesel mechanic, told me to smear red RTV on the new spark plug and crossthread it in the other way. It was messy and took a couple tries to get it to bite, but I got it in and it worked! We got another 10K miles out of that car.
This is definitely one of my favorite episodes ever. Every little thing that can go wrong will go wrong all at once lol can’t wait too see the c10 again
Typically you RUclips revival boys make it look so easy or cut these struggles out of the videos, but this is the first one I've seen that felt relatable to how my experience would be now I want my own struggle bus! Thanks for the laughs Kevin!
Man, i wanted to see this succeed! Its doable if you have the time to go through the used parts and make sure they are up to par beforehand. Like you said, they are on sale/for sale for a reason. lol. Cant win them all... But i NEED to see this 305 as a ripper!!
Reminds me of the 76 Chevy short bed truck I owned back in the day. It was a fleet side but same color blue 350 2 barrel. It would go.. I had to put sacks of sand in the bed to get traction in the snow. Just a lot of fun. My dad loved that truck too. Great memories thanks
I saw the live you did with Dalton during this and couldn't wait to see it. This took me back to the early days of the channel. Thank you for inspiring a new generation of builders, my old ass included!
Mook says 'didn't monetize' and makes a cat coughing up a fur ball sound she is the best, AND a video from the summer months when its been cold and dingy for weeks on end, many thanks you guys
I’ve done a handful of partial engine rebuilds/ refresh’s. Honing cylinders, new rings and bearings, sometimes a cam replacement or upgrade. A performance intake with a newish four barrel carb. I use to use the old carb ( steady reliable runner) during the initial start up and break in period. Nerve wracking experience. Then upgrade to the newish 4 barrel and time to tune.
the 305 is always overlooked for the 350. Glad you decided to mod the good old original engine in that thing instead of ripping it out and dropping a 350 in it. The 305 is a nice economical start to more power!
Hey Kevin, What I've done with starters & old cars/ wiring is add a relay to the start pin solenoid so that essentially your giving the solenoid a punch of power like you do with a screwdriver only a lot less sparks...... It only takes a few minutes to make up & install. I've done this to heaps of shitboxes over the years that has paid dividends..... Keep up the good work cheers from Australia
Great video Kevin. Love the square body content, it’s my favorite. That stepside seem like it was burnout shy, never wanted to do one on the side of the camera lol
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who really likes the Half and Half Twisted Tea's. They're so good. Love 'em. Keep up the good work, Kevin! Love watching your videos!
Credit for your complete engine rebuild. I wasn't paying attention and suddenly saw the orange and had to carefully rewatch it to realize you didn't just throw "budget" out the window.
Also another tip to anyone doing old truck build. Be sure to add extra ground wires use a few from battery to engine and from engine to body. I’ve driven these old trucks my entire life they always need extra ground wires make sure to clean the places were you bolt them too
At 40 minutes you started the engine after put jets in the carburetor. I heard the distinct main bearings knock. Hopefully that gas bath to the internals hasn't screwed the pooch. But it is a 305 and it is what it is.
That old girl is certainly worth all the time and money you care to invest in her. After all, a GMC is a Chevy with lock washers. A much finer breed of animal. I guarantee that when it comes time to rehome her the list of interested parties will be long and thick. Please allow me to be at the head of said list. Lol. Keep it up Kevin. Great stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
as a tip from a body guy, for anyone who should happen to see it, start spraying before you would hit the piece and let go once you're past, hold about 10 to 12 inches away and try to stay square to the surface you're painting, after that shoot for 1/3 to 1/2 overlap and anything from matte to high gloss will lay silky smooth long as you let it flash for about 10 minutes between coats of the same paint and 1 hour between differing paint, but above all else make sure it's clean, if you wonder whether its clean enough clean it again because there it no such thing as clean enough lol
This will be interesting to watch. I have doing this for lifetime, using used parts to repair cars. I began 1980 in the autumn when I bought my first car , a 1965 Plymouth Valiant. Now I have turned 60 and still working on old American cars. I own 4 Mopar cars and 2 Audi , 1 Opel and a motorcycle : a 1975 Moto Guzzi California 850.
I love that when Kevin has issues he keeps the camera rolling. Thank you for acknowledging that even with hundreds of cars under your belt things still go sideways sometimes. It makes the rest of us feel better!
And it makes me feel better that "us" feel better......lol
Good inspiration for when you have to replace same gasket several times in a row...

It's the golden rule of working on cars... nothing can ever be easy
❤😊😊😊
In a world where every channel wants to go bigger and better keeping it simple and consistent is always a refresh great video can't wait to see the shop used more
I love how it switches power tire from left to right depending on where the camera is
😂 yeah I guess it’s a little shy
I was thinking the same thing. 😂😂
I was dying laughing had me rolling all over the floor. I was looking for this comment
I love these episodes even more than the successful ones. So few people are this honest on youtube.
We all can agree it’s a better day now
Wingstop and junkyard digs 😋
Easily better when junkyard digs uploads
Facts
Yes absolutely 😂
Yessirrr
Glad to see another Kevin & Mook & Cats adventure ! One of my favored trucks
Looks like a used car lot in the back- yard
A good old-fashioned Kevin and Mook episode.
more mook more better
No
Mook was mocking it the entire way. She loves her Ford trucks too much. 🤣
It was really just Kevin
Yea, Mook disappeared early on.
has a kid into my early 20s i knew an old man that owned a junk yard, we did quite a few builds just like that. brings back memories, thank you guys.
It was so cool to see the truck Kevin was working on in the livestream with polebarngarage. ❤🤘

Where do you find old vehicles like your Yamaha to fix up and do you have to pay anything for the vehicle before you take a gander?

This is top tier content. I absolutely love watching kevin diagnose problems. It teaches me a lot.

Sometimes when starting a project it is hard to know where it takes you and how much time. Great Job sticking with it!
Was a rough day today. So glad I got the notification Kevin had new content out. Adult beverage and junkyard digs after wife and kid are in bed. Quality alone time. Thanks!
Kid snack and junkyard dogs after I get my homework done. 😂
This is still a fantastic episode. It shows that it's not all sunshine and rainbows all the time.
Digs & Mook! What an awesome evening surprise.
Glad to see RUclipsrs still keeping it “budget” friendly!
Its a great day when Junkyard Digs uploads a new video. I finished Daltons new video and then i came here. Toms car is pretty cool and i can tell a lot of work went into it. And i always like seeing a budget build
Me too
Well it runs And 60 Psi Oil pressure with no smoke wow 4:30 impressed so far @Junkyard Digs
Not a fan of using ether or brake cleaner to start an engine but I love these videos! Great job Digs and Mook.
Runs pretty good Definitely sounds a bit louder in the exhaust she scoots now but needs a bit more tuning sounds like It needs another Valve Adjustment not running great after the short drive but damn she will smoke them tires niw 45:28 @Junkyard Digs
Regardless of the result, this was a good one. This is how things go for most of us and you gotta just keep going until it works.
Another great old school style video! Great work y’all
Love these Old Step Sides Kevin 1:06 technically The big ten Sticker is appropriate being Chevy is Owned By GMC @Junkyard Digs
Silly me Mook, I thought the cement block was the park brake ... or maybe for late night shopping 😁
😂😂
Mine was a junk oil soaked sbc starter my choke lol

That custom Bumper on thstbCar is stunning Rear engine car noe a Fromt enginr car Very sweet love that red and silver paint job 31:30 @Junkyard Digs
I think that weird burnout may have been the result of a worn out positrack or lsd whatever you wanna call it.
Yep. Clutches are bad, same thing happens on Ford TracLoc axles in CVPIs.
Naw unless the rear differential has been changed it has an LSD in it!!
Dude, you're a GREAT instructor! You are one amongst thousands. So glad you fully describe the issues you have and the solutions. Thank you for the continuing education. Smart fella. Much appreciated.
I love to see that olds 98 being put to the good use. Hope to see it on a power tour next year. As always sir - new upload day is always a good day.
The Jips Sounds amazing Love that exhaust sound So Beastly Kevin 7:50 @Junkyard Digs
Way to fight it Kevin!!!! Looking forward to seeing the C-10 follow up soon!!!!
I am honestly loving this chevy GM truck kick you have been on lately
From a chevy guy to one of his favorite RUclipsrs
4:35 "It's cleaning up" Well yeah, you're spraying brake _cleaner_ into it 🤣😂🤣
Brings back many memories of my 77 c10 ,305 manual trans. It was my first of many c10 Chevy trucks. I would love to find one like that here in PA for 750,unfortunately around here most of them have become one with the earth.

Kevin, love how honest you are about your builds. I love it, keep it up!
I would definitely love to see more on this one!!
I’ve always LOVED the short bed, step side look.!!
This C10 is pretty solid overall. Definitely a cool build candidate.
That truck sounds amazing and I love the way the exhaust sounds on that truck.
More of this one please. Love to see a full 4 gear rip when it's right, maybe at the local drag strip.
I think this is my new favorite square body/square body build, from JD
Kevin you never disappoint I've loved your videos since day one lol keep it up!
This is the way most of my r/r projects go.....and then I pay someone else to fix the damn things the right way....But just look how much fun I had!!! FUN Video, Kevin! A+++++
Sometimes they just kick your ass 😂
Indeed they do! LOL@@JunkyardDigs
It’s the best when junkyard digs posts again
Definitely agree, but where's mook been!!! She hasn't posted in a while
Yea, if Mook is with him.😮
@@stomper2582 true that
Grrr
Unusual shesee should better wake it the fuck up silly bad sorry Bobby kitty cat bullshit.

Your the best Kevin 😅 good luck in your business endeavors. The c10 sounds great.
Always a good day when there's a new Kevin/Mook episode with "budget" in the title

Love the videos. This truck has possibilities. I would like to see more on getting to run good
Definitely want to see more of this truck! Pretty awesome video going for a cheap sleeper build!
I would love an OBS step side. Such a great design
This truck is not an OBS

Kevin I really enjoyed this episode it was fun seeing the truck you were working on when you did the live stream with Pole Barn Garage.
that truck is awesome, hope to see more videos on it
I really appreciated the in depth detail of how to in this video. My 2 sons also loved it because of how In depth it was.
Happy Thanksgiving
How many more relics untill they have ti start being parked into the cornfield? 😂 Love the videos keep em up!

Oprah Winfrey is helpful if you've had a fire. Ask Maui
Love this show. Would be happy to see this show pop up on Rumble too.
You know using 2stroke gas to make it run is way better for the engine than brake cleaner.. and in the long run cheaper...
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who really likes the Half and Half Twisted Tea's. They're so good. Love 'em.

Kevin thank you for your service you have an awesome channel and I enjoy watching you and mook working on cars God bless
At 40 minutes you started the engine after put jets in the carburetor. I heard the distinct main bearings knock. Hopefully that gas bath to the internals hasn't screwed the pooch. But it is a 305 and it is what it is.
Tell your friend there's a ton of Chevette performance parts in Brazil, even turbo kits.
Kevin you can stay calm everything I am glad I caught this video . Great video Kevin.
This video gave me the motivation to get my 78 C10 going again. Thanks Kevin and Mook.
Great episode Kevin. . . GM products seem to be you kryptonite brother . . . Still got that old Ford Highboy
Yup hanging on to all the parts sometimes pays off. Cool truck.
That old girl is certainly worth all the time and money you care to invest in her. After all, a GMC is a Chevy with lock washers. A much finer breed of animal. I guarantee that when it comes time to rehome her the list of interested parties will be long and thick.
Please allow me to be at the head of said list. Lol.
Keep it up Kevin. Great stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
12 minutes in and i want this truck, cab eyebrow and spoiler included. Blue is my colour, really love the look of this truck
as a tip from a body guy, for anyone who should happen to see it, start spraying before you would hit the piece and let go once you're past, hold about 10 to 12 inches away and try to stay square to the surface you're painting, after that shoot for 1/3 to 1/2 overlap and anything from matte to high gloss will lay silky smooth long as you let it flash for about 10 minutes between coats of the same paint and 1 hour between differing paint, but above all else make sure it's clean, if you wonder whether its clean enough clean it again because there it no such thing as clean enough lol
