    You might be my favorite car channel dude, you have this authenticity to you that a lot of these big channels don't have, its really exciting and kind of encouraging to see it all come together bit by bit

    Fixing it the old school way on a budget and scrounging for deals on parts. That’s the way us normal people without big budgets do it. Thanks for keeping it real!

    14:10 You're welcome, Jason! I'm glad my video helped you tackle those bearings. I'm not an expert, but helping others is one of the reasons why I make videos. It's so cool you're working on a '59 El Camino. '59 & '60 are mine & my dad's favorite years & hope to have one someday. I'm following this project of yours for sure.

    • @CountryBoyGasGarage

    It's exciting to see you making real progress in getting the El Camino back on the road! Someday, that car is going to really turn heads! In the meantime, you'll still be turning heads as you drive it around on the streets of your part of the beautiful State of Oregon. 😊

    @Awsom47Merc Před 3 měsíci +2

    Jason don't forget to order Crush Sleeves for that axle too. To tell the ratio look on the ring gear for the stamping. That is the number of teeth for the ring & pinion gears. The large number is the ring gear teeth the small number is the pinion gear teeth. Divide the big number by the little number the answer is your gear ratio. Peace Buddy 👊😎👍

    • @CountryBoyGasGarage

      ​​@@CountryBoyGasGarageNames Paul Jason and Your Welcome. Some Vettes came with as low of a gear as 410 to 1 which is great for leaving the line but will empty your pockets on the expressway real quick 🤭👍I run a shortened 59 Pontiac "Big Chief" 12 bolt in Brutus (my 47 Merc) with a 488 to 1 gearset. With the the 33x21.5 Hoosiers it comes out to a 378 to 1 ratio. I had to put in a Gear Venders Overdrive behind my 400TH to keep the rpms at 75mph to around 3200. Peace Buddy ✌️😎👍
