Great class, thanks, Daryll! Learning in the process! It's been decades …the memories are slowly coming back!😀👌
You’ll probably have to replace every wheel cylinder
Great video, learned a couple of things, but just really enjoy hanging out, so to speak. I like the standard fawn color interior, my dad had a 64. But then later a 68 C10 standard that I learned to drive in, and I too had a V8 Maverick at one time! My Cougar, though, was a 74 Cutlass Salon. Miss the Zen outro's that you used to throw in. Always a great vibe hanging around in your shop!
Ask the old guy if he would sell me that truck I live in St. Louis I’ll have to make a long drive out of it but I’ll come get it?
I have to say that I learn a ton watching you. I've been working on cars for quite a while (mostly new stuff) and your explanations help fill in the gaps, so to soeak. I'm very grateful for the enlightenment without the trial and error.. learning from mistakes is great, but it can get expensive..
Rule No.1 for hydraulic brakes; Never not ever never, never use any petroleum based fluids when working on brakes. Brake fluid, alcohol or brake Kleen only. I'm 74 and learned that from old service manuals. You can get a bit better bite by using Brake-Kleen when honing.
I used a red scotch brite ball out of a porting kit on my old master after using the hone, it worked pretty well at taking the scratches out and helped the plunger move smoother, that one may just be too far gone tho. Love this truck and the video so cool to see the ol C10 running again
Why is the writing on the door covered up? what does it say?
That is the exact same truck I bought in 1977 when I got out of the Navy. It was a great truck. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Love your channel.
When i watch your videos i learn so much but also feel like I'm sitting in the garage watching my grandfather work on the old cars back in the day. I have very early memories of sitting on folding chairs watching my dad grandfather and uncle all working on their old used cars on the weekends lol. Yes we couldn't afford anything new so they would work on them together during their days off.
Time to get out your J.C. Whitney catalog!
Your poking around with this '65 Chevy truck brings back memories for me of working on my '74 Chevy truck (straight 6, 3-on-the-tree, power nothing). Not much difference.
The Spicer not Corporation rear axle indicates that it "might" be a Posi-traction unit. Original color should have been Chevy orange not the earlier blue-gray of the 235's.
