It will be for sale soon I think unless I fall in love with it.. I'm just working on it right now .. I'm going to put an l31 350 Vortech in it.. I do have a 454 ready but you can get more cruising time on a 350.. it's in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.. stay in touch

@@calvinpochinko4277 I live in toledo ohio ok

@@kellysrestorations.7397 Winnipeg Manitoba Canada..

@@kellysrestorations.7397 where are you at?

@@calvinpochinko4277 Calgary, Alberta. I noticed a BC plate on one of the cars.

​@@kellysrestorations.7397Hmmmmm I didn't see that plate just a Manitoba plate.. I'll have to have a look

If you're interested they are listed on Winnipeg Kijiji

That might happen.. I think I'm going to tackle the four-door first if I keep them but I'm in a possible negotiation for all of them... they are listed on Kijiji in Winnipeg.. Kijiji is like Craigslist but better and we use it in Canada

PITA😂

Yeah they did.. they really knew the value of a dollar.. an amazing generation.. my dad was born in 1913 and my mom was born in 1927.. they saw it all

@@calvinpochinko4277 The silent generation..best of them all. Agree, they saw everything from the first Model T, wars, development of this great nation...worked hard, rarely complained and lived by the golden rule. As a 70s kid I had a lot of respect for those people. Sickens me how the last 2 gens of people could care less and want to destroy everthing they created. Life wasnt easy in those days.

Thanks John!

Nice!.. if you go to my channel you'll find the 75 for a walk around😃

@@calvinpochinko4277 I’m going to check it out!

Test flight today😊

I tried it out today it works fantastic!

@@calvinpochinko4277 awesome! I love when it works and even more when it works well. Can you make a video showing it in use?

I did make a short showing it pushed up behind my 75 GMC... probably enough videos on it

Man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, well done

True that😃

Verdade 😊

I had a 38 1.5 ton that I restored all the mechanical but truthfully they don't drive worth a damn haha.. and even though I spent about 4 months going over it the most I could get for it was 4,700.. I also had a 1939 1.5 and that one I just made it run and Let It Go.. I think this one because it is a true half ton it's going to get independent suspension front and rear and probably a small block

Thanks 😅

I have a couple of new front fenders on the way!😃

It works great!

Yes indeed!

Not sure yet

@@calvinpochinko4277 I understand 👍

👍😃

True that.. personally I prefer the free 1 gallon multi-vehicle storage size😂

Not quite sure what you're saying there but yes I have a title!.. I believe the truck was built in Wisconsin and at some time in its life brought to Canada.. you can tell it's a USA Truck because it has the small headlights.. the Canadian trucks had the longer headlights.. so yes it has a Canadian registration as we call it 👍🇨🇦🍻

My point is that (most) rusty old vehicles with no paperwork (title or registration, depending on location) are not worth the effort or expense. That’s a cool old truck and since it has paperwork it’s a start to a great project!

​@@johnkelly6942it's not so bad up here in Canadaville😂... at least where I am.. if you've owned it for long enough you can sign an affidavit and get registration.. yeah it'll be sweet when I'm done with it

It'll buff up😂... I couldn't put the front mags on without buying a pair of spacers because the wheels hit the control arms... you'll notice the Chrome reverse style on the front😂...

You know for years I was taught the old school way to pump pump and hold the pedal while someone cracked the bleeder and retightened it over and over again I knew there had to be a better way.. this way you can do the job by yourself as long as you keep the reservoir full

Can confirm... and you're not getting up from the ground to check the fluid level.

Thanks scott!

Normally yes but it wouldn't show maybe due to the unloaded suspension but sure enough when I stuck my head in there it was very obvious that it was the lower ball joint.. it's a nice advantage to be able to look in there when you are working alone to see exactly what is going on.. and the bonus is it's super easy😀

Wrongo BigG... the tie rod is tight but I was able to visually inspect the lower ball joint by sticking my head in there and it is the one that has the movement.. also it's not my first rodeo.. I'm over 60 and I changed my first tire when I was five in my dad's service station.. since that time I've worked on hundreds of cars including the 1960 Morris Minor that my dad gave me when I was nine that nobody could make run.. I asked him if I could have it and he said if you can make it run you can have it.. it took me about 2 weeks to figure it out after school .. then I took my dad's stock car lap belt and bolted it in and took the doors off and tried to roll it every day after school😂 my mom would have killed me if I got it to go over haha

I use this method for cars as well I just use smaller wrenches😀

1991 Chevrolet 3500 cab and Chassis.. if it needs rotors you have to replace the whole kit and caboodle and transfer the bearings if they are any good otherwise you're buying new ones as well

Yes that is true but you're able to stick your head right in there and see exactly what's going on!.. I had the wheels off doing a full inspection before it gets its government safety inspection.. I know all the other ways this is just another one👍

Always gotta be that one asshole with a smart ass comment.

I just saw your comment haha yeah there is that

Yes that's another way but I had my wheels off getting the truck ready for the safety inspection.. I find it easier to check all of the dust boots and brake and rotor assemblies and give it a good visual inspection with the wheels off👍

Very little... I had a 1977 in 1983 and the whole right side rocker was rusted out.. so yes I'd say it very little considering it spent 49 years sitting outside.. luckily it wasn't driven in the winter here in Canada

@@calvinpochinko4277 ok

I just checked out your suburban.. it's looking pretty good... I think you are in a good spot considering how much it cost these days for restoration work and also the price of a new truck.. a lot of guys up here in Canada would probably spend 15,000 Canadian for it and that is about 11,000ish American... I've got a 1998 l31 350 roller camshaft roller lifter ready to put into the 75 GMC😃

@@calvinpochinko4277 it is crazy how Suburbans have gone up in value. They used to be cheap. I wonder if it is because it's the only way a lot of us can get into a square body because the trucks and Blazers have gotten ridiculously expensive.

@@Buck_298 all I know is it's better to step up and buy a better one or you"re going to have to do a lot of work... in the end it'll cost you the same or more if you have to do the work yourself

Not quite for sale yet.. hopefully soon😃

Not quite sure what you're saying ... would you like to clarify that?

you're welcome!... if you've got a Chevy truck feel free to check out some of my other videos 😃 ... if you like them please give them a thumbs up👍

Sorry but I am just about to put in a fresh motor and then the entire truck will be up for sale.. sorry I do not have any other parts

Sorry for the late reply.. no this doesn't replace the rollover switch as you call it.. the oil pressure switch is designed to stop the lift pump from operating should the engine stall in the event of an accident causing fuel to keep pumping the event of a fuel line fracture.. that system is still operational but what it does do is Supply an independent power supply to the pump through a secondary fused circuit reducing the amperage draw through the oil pressure switch causing it to fail prematurely.. after the modification the oil pressure switch only has to provide enough power to operate the extremely low amperage of the activating coil in the relay.. in the event of an engine stalling, power from the oil pressure switch would no longer activate the relay and disconnect the pump as designed... hopefully that is a satisfactory description!

@@calvinpochinko4277 thank you.

​@@SubjectivelyDanyou're welcome Dan!

The radiator hose blew off on the way back from the lake and they filled it up with water and forgot about it and it froze in the winter and cracked the block.. the guy I bought it from dropped another motor in but it wasn't any good so I'm putting and an L31/350 vortec that has roller cam and roller lifter from the factory and more horsepower so it will just be that much better all the way around

​@@Jim-pw3wzI believe it was dealer installed air

You know I look at that truck and it's quite rare and someone has already messed with it.. but it is an 80 in 1952 Land Rover.. it's for sale if I don't sell it I might put four wheel rwd independent suspension in it and then it would rock and roll!.. but that's just me thinkin' it might be fun!

I just filmed this nice guy describing the swap to me and he never said anything about programming but I believe if you use the correct computer with the wiring harness on the motor and do the additional pin connections as he says.. It will run.. I believe you just have to hook up some powers and grounds for the harness and the computer... That's all I can tell you about it

@@calvinpochinko4277 Thank you !

wasn't mine... I was just out there picking up some parts and he gave me the tutorial
