    That was the good thing about living in the back country here in SC. My 75 Fury ran outta gas and I could barely move it. 6 people actually pulled over and helped me out. Took all of them to get the car moving. Lol. I so appreciated their help, and they refused any money for their help. Good good people.

    Felt so bad about rolling through a 4-way stop that you turned around and tried it from a different direction! 😂
    j/k, best of luck with this one. After watching you tear down a horse barn (almost completely by yourself), I have no doubt that you'll figure out the issues with this project. 😉
    I wish you the best and look forward to more videos!

    I love that truck - I love that truck - I love that truck!!!!! Chad, you just saying the words, "First thing I gotta do is get some fuel, she's runnin' on fumes," that ole girl was listening. I laughed and laughed out of appreciation that it's not just me with that kind of luck. Sir, I've watched through about half your videos so far, back to back to back and man they are enjoyable and I am learning so much. I appreciate you, your videos and your way of thinking. Just simple, don't waste nothing kind of attitude. Let's get those old buggies runnin' and show those youngsters that old don't mean dead! I look forward to the other half of your latest videos. You're a bright light in this somewhat dark lookin' world these days. Great Job Chad, I'm glad I found your videos.

    It’s a good thing you are not doing experimental airplanes. Love the old truck. Years ago I bought an all original 1954 that had never been touched with 62,000 miles. The guys brother bought it new and it ran drove perfectly. $1000 I paid for it in 1989. It was a five window. The guy I sold it to in Winston Salem did a refurbish-restoration and paint and sold it for $15,000. The park brakes were amazing in their build and through the frame levers.

    When I was a young man I had a 66 impala ss with I think the same motor. From the factory it had 300 hp and came with a carter afb(aluminum four barrel) That is if it has double hump heads. Of course being young and crazy, I put a Holley 600 vacuum secondary and Black Jack headers. Lol I had a blast . Those bullet mufflers sounded so good. Great video my man, love the truck.

    My Dad's father passed away suddenly in 48 and he had to take over the farm, His Uncle Ralph was asked by Granny to help Dad learn how to farm. Ralph had a truck like that green with a Ohoogha Horn that he could feather so he could call the cows in at night. He was funny as hell and stayed with for many years. He would stop by and ask how much rain we got and when Dad was going to cultivate the beans. I asked about his truck when i was 14 but he said his grandson had already asked for it. It was a great old truck. My other granddad had a 47 Ford Flathead V8 but my other Uncle took it. I always thought a good old truck would a great weekend cruise and hauler. This is a nice one to clean up. Old 327 is a great motor too. Have fun. Dennis in Virginia

    I wish I would have bought one of these old trucks when I was younger. I really like the flames and patina, some people don't get the patina look. Really like this one and the old 1965 C10 you got running a lot as well. Two of my favorite truck styles.
