- One of our viewers contacted us about his 1981 C10. We thought it would be an easy one. Wrong! Come along as we try to get this old truck on the road again.

That was a stubborn little bugger! That sounds really smooth. Christina, you are really getting good on your videotaping! Another fun video.
I would pull it forward on the gravel in 3rd. Same thing with the clutch release move.
A little story for you in 1981 a buddy and me hitch hiked from central La. To New Orleans so he could buy one of these trucks same color even after we left the dealership we bought some beer and decided to take back roads home about 50 miles from home a 10 point deer jumped in front of the truck bent the bumper broke the grill blood everywhere we could not leave the deer so we put it put of its misery how sad that was even though we were hunters we had nothing but the jack that came with the truck so more blood loaded the deer in the back of the truck when we got home man oh man did his parents freak out at the sight of us and the truck all covered in blood lol
I got a67 c10 that has been run since 2012
It's for sale too
My deer hunting days are over sir lol !😂@@leonardblankenship2911

Great job, I love the passion you both have for getting these old vehicles going. And you did it while freezing in this Tennessee weather!
Good job, the truck said, "Let me get unstuck. These guys will not give up."
It's so awesome to see how excited Richard gets on that first start. That big ole Wooo Hooo!! You can tell he's very passionate about these old trucks and cars.
Another one saved from the dead! Seeing Richard so happy when that Engine was finally unstuck was just priceless.

Hey Christina and Richard,Happy new year! Great job you two at getting her running again. I am sure you guys were freezing but you guys hung in there.😊
I like old trucks
I like. Ike
With stick shift vehicles we used to oil down the cylinders and then put it in gear and rock the vehicle. Worked most of the time.
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍. Happy New Year guys ! FYI Richard ; back & forward on a manual will most of the time pop them free ! The owner should not take short cuts to make it ready and safe for the . I have done many vehicles and the system if it looks good may not be ! Nice job guys ! 👍👍👍👍👍☕️☕️
--nice job
What a nice step side PU. You don't see these anymore and it's a pity! I love the old step sides and with a 250 six!
I do as well. The stick shift makes it even better.
Cool truck, great vid.... 👍🙂
Happy New Years!!! 🎉🎊
Man I love those tricks❗
And the error dynamics you can't beat it 😂 no joke I would love to have one of those old trucks. This was good video👏.
Thanks for the feedback Bryan.
Love the square body's. Happy New Year ya'll 😊
We will be working on the blue one soon. Happy New Year!
Thank you for helping this Man out. I love the older cars and trucks. I wouldn't take 200 new Trucks over one like this one. As always I liked and shared. All my very best And a very happy New year to all.
Thanks very much. Happy New Year!
@@whattherust any squarebody Blazer's. Around?

Great video thanks to you both very worthwhile project cheers 🥂
Great team work, tractor pulling revival...👍💨💨
Nice truck! Richard is so methodical when getting these vehicles running. It's mesmerizing just watching him! The two of you work so well together. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and hope and pray that the new year goes well for you all!
So cool nice truck!👏
Richard just what I thought after you got it unstuck. Those 6 cylinder engines are resilient. Love you got it going for him. Smoothing out. Hope you and Christina have a blessed 2024. . Happy New Year. A great save and wonderful way to start the year guys.
💯👍👊
Thanks Terry! Happy New Year!
Super cool truck & nice job bringing her back to life. Happy New Year!
My 67 probably stuck too 383 350 heads 4 barrel maybe for sale
Just hearing it turn over and the fire blowing out was success its self I'm happy that worked out for you just let you know to keep on messing around with something and it will eventually give in nice
Many years ago I had a 1980 C10 stepside. Same exact 250 engine with the integrated head. And the vara jet 2bbl.
great job y'all a little tlc it will be a sweet truck worth restoring , looks like the body is in great shape sounds really good
You're right. It is super solid.
and no more smokin. yes its worth a dance or two. good show. mr rust,,
I love these old GM trucks
great job
One of the most reliable motors chevy ever made richard I got 350 thousand miles out of mine never let me down rhat girls in awesome condition for her age wow
SBC. Will outlive. Us all
Cool how you got the green one running. I think old blue needs some love too.
Agreed! The blue one will be coming soon.
@@whattherust can’t wait to see.
I have a 1981 with the 250 and a 4 speed long narrow box in that emerald green it has 115000 original miles on it, always been kept inside. My grandmother custom ordered it, I still use it. Also have a 73 almost identical to it but in a darker green she ordered it still has the original spare tire under the bed and has always been kept inside. Enjoyed your video.
That is a pair of very nice trucks.
Hey Richard and Christine, it's not often you a vehicle from stuck engine to running and driving in just a short amount of time. Those ole Chevy trucks and the 250 inline 6 are bullet proof. Thanks for sharing guys.
You're welcome Terry. Thank you for watching.
I think.christine needs to start her a channel I remember the one where she worked on the car I found it very interesting it's different then what u usually see on CZcams great channel guys it's great to see Richard excited when the motor starts lol❤
I always liked the looks of the step side pickups and that one is very solid. I'm glad you were able to save it!
Really nice old truck
Awesome in getting it unstuck! Never saw you top off the coolant, which I'm sure you did. My suggestion since you work on a lot of old cars and especially in the cold weather, carry a heat gun to soften up those hoses. You got that power cell to power it up. Great job guys.
Back in the day, these were used in the oilfields, as company trucks, where I live.
Another one for the books great job
Happy New Year 🎉
Nuce job you three. That was funn to watch.
Happy New Year guys! All the best to y'all!
Excellent Video Christina :) , Richard :) , Eric :) that 1981 Chevrolet C10 pickup step side with 250 6 cylinder motor with 2 barrel carb , Manual transmission 3 in tree , possibly 377 rear gears , green body and Beige seat with green interior! Also reminds of a friend of mine had 1977 GMC High Series Serria Scottdale 25 3/4 ton , his had 292 6 cylinder motor with 2 barrel carb , 2 fuel tank, Power Steering also Brakes, chrome west coast , 411 rear end gears too! Plus late friend of my late dad had Chevrolet , GMC in 1940 to 1995 pickup up in 1/2 , 3/4 , 1 tons in so many of them in different colors, Powertrains and all steps plus 2 or 4 wheels drives plus 1 or 2 fuel tanks ! Funny part when farm sale happen in 2017 truck sold for nice money and wishes could got one too! Also question you ask Richard did Farmers use trucks of step sides to get stuff out sides that is correct and myself was farm boy growing up years ago and did help lots !
well you did it again was afraid it wasn't going to free up but glad when it did. another good job thanks for sharing. hope this year is a good one
Happy New year
Great work, Richard and Christina! You two have a Happy New Year! Take care!😁👍🔧🛠️
Thanks Billy. Happy New Year!
@@whattherust Thank you!
That is a really nice looking chevy truck. I like the color too. And it's a manual also. Cool truck.
That's fantastic!! 😁👏👏 Once again, hard work, skill and perseverance pays off! Awesome job, Richard! Thanks for sharing! I hope you and Christina are having a great new year!
You and Christina never disappoint. Always great content and entertaining.
And I have been looking for the good luck milk bottle. Is it retired? Lol I've been noticing a good luck overflow bottle in place of it.
I love the square bodies too.
Keep up the great vids!
Hey Gary. The milk bottle has taken a back seat to the squirt bottle, but there is still a place for it in our kit!
You guys should get the blue square body running to .
Gret job Rich and Christine took a while to get un stuck but sounds great!!-onto the next!!!!
Hi yall from west Alabama hugs
When bump starting a stuck vehicle , put some weight in the truck bed, and pull on gravel, not slippery grass!
Happy new year from uk
Great job. Happy New Year to you both.
Thank you.Haopy New Year.
Greetings from Scotland Richard & Christina. A happy New Year to you both.
Nice job guys ! That was a nice truck, and you had to work hard for that result. The cooler weather doesn’t help of course but 10 out of 10 for perseverance.
Did you ever find out the mileage Richard ?.
The truck beside it looked like a candidate for a ‘will it start’.
Onward to the next one, I guess.
Thanks guys.
Like hungry boards. Good job
Thanks!
Thank you very much Terry. You are very generous.
Like the way you guys never give up. Happy New Year
That's fantastic.
Good job happy new year
I bought an '82 for 800 bucks years ago. it was a solid truck. its only issue was the exhaust manifold was cracked which was cast into the head. I removed the engine and tranny and dropped a built 350 and tranny in it. Loved that truck. Its gone now and the price of a good square body has gone through the roof. Yall are good people keep up the good work...
Thanks Glenn. More content is on the way.
Braving the cold, great job, enjoyed the video! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year. About 6 weeks of cold left here.
Wow surprised to see my old buddy and his green truck, I helped him put an engine in that blue truck 25 years ago
Hi Richard, I appreciate your videos. Thanks when you answer my comment with my name. You are very skilled to restart old engines. Good day sir
Thank you very much, Francois. We appreciate your support!
Yes I had a 1976 an we did stand on the steps an throw hay and feed cows
Thanks! It is good to know what I heard many year ago is correct.
I love this channel. I will say that if it is in gear then pushing/pulling to break the engine loose then the rear tire must move to see that the engine is turning. clutch in start tow and then pop the clutch coould turn the engiine. Used to do that with my VW all the time.
Thank you for the support!
The soft ground wasn't helping much to free it up when towing.
Happy New Year I like that right there that is a good find keep it coming man don't stop the magic watching and learning dream to be on that same mission one day keep it coming nice 👍
That is a beautiful step-side Square Body, and it doesn't even have a kinked hood. Now I hope this gentleman keeps her going.
Right, I don't see a straight hood very often. I am confident that truck will be back on the road this month.
Put some weight in the bed over the axle, so its more likely to break free as you pull /push to free the engine
The old redesigned 250. Quite a few died around here. My 81 C10 just up an wiped out a cam lobe ☹️😵💫☹️
Another great save! Happy New Year’s!
Thank you Ken! Happy New Year!
Good video you got another one running . But something funny you don't see many step side trucks but I just saw one on another video the other day it was green too and the same engine
Ok , so Richard says he has no idea why the engine broke loose with foreward motion ? I think it’s because of the trans gear ratios . Along with the fact that on dirt, there’s very little grip to the tires to begin with . So from all I can say I have encountered through the years , whenever you’re trying to break an engine loose , with a standard trans, your very highest option, is its highest foreward gear, on a surface where the tires will grip their best , and simply rock the thing back n forth . And in high gear , you’re not fighting any sort of gear reduction , working against you ! Love watching all these videos ! And thanks for sharing them !
Thanks for watching, Marion. It seems that the second pull forward did the trick.
Sweet, with a bit of work that would make a nice ole truck !!
Custom deluxe was base and s.o truckCustom is the base trim level which means no trim. Custom Deluxe steps up to fancy door panels and trim on the windows,dash knobs,cloth seat,lower trim on the outside. Still a rubber mat but color keyed w/interior. __________________ "BUILDING A BETTER
