1953 Chevy 3100 Truck Sitting on The Plains of South Dakota! Will it Run Again???

- This 1953 Chevy truck came from Huron, SD where it sat for many years on a local farm. The guy i got it from was in the process of fixing up, but projects come and go and he decided he wanted to put the money elsewhere and sell the truck to someone who can finish it. This truck has a 235 6cyl paired to a 4 speed manual transmission. The truck itself is pretty nice and will be an easy project to put back on the road. Can we get this old truck to fire up again or is it doomed for the junkyard?
Thanks for watching!

Ryan the best thing with these pre- late 1970's vehicles is the wiring. Even my 1972 SS454 Elcamino is relatively easy. I had a 1955, first series Chevy 1500. It was quite the conversation piece 😂. It got old arguing that it was not a '54 but a '55. I know there are only 2 differences, 1st being the call-out emblems on the sides of the hood were redesigned for '55. 2nd redesign was the use of an open driveshaft, replacing the old fashioned closed driveshaft, or torque tube.
Enjoyed the video Ryan, thanks 😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Engines of the truck's era were so simple to work on. No emissions control of any kind. Just basic hand tools, basic mechanical know how and some patience will keep them purring like a kitten. The good old days.
very simple!
That carb has a filter in it. disconnect the fuel line and the large nut. Filter is in there. Brass filter which can be cleaned and reused.
correct, some had paper but most were brass
Nice old rig glad it's getting some TLC,thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
I restored a 54 Chevy truck years ago but then they didn't have all the upgrade parts like rack and pinion steering, and better suspension. It ran well but it was geared so low that it would only run around 45 mph. Today I would change the whole drive train and suspension to a modern version. It will be a lot better truck for it.
Mr. B. Here ☕️🍕👀😎👍 ! Dam a truck that is a year younger than I am , LOL ! Very cool 😎👍😎👍
Hey Ryan, just a heads up. I've had trouble with the distributor housing grounds on these old stove bolts. The housing rotates for the vacuum advance so there's no solid mount. I'll run a separate ground wire. Love seeing the old stuff breathing again. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the info!
Nice old truck
for sure
Really sweet old truck Ryan, great video. Best to you and yours
That engine sounds really nice and solid.
no bad noises with this one!
Great vid!! 👍👍
thanks!
That truck from the factory was most likely a six volt positive ground. The cables were probably correct when you started working on it. Please know I am in no way trying to be nasty. I love your videos.
No offense taken by your comment its all good 😁
Excellent video Ryan :) also nice old pickup truck fix up and 1963 car carb most certainly need fix up too!
thanks for watching!
The coil is never bad…
You should have just given the points the Mortske Flick and your video woulda been 12 minutes shorter.
Oh you know i did mr mortske 🤘
Cool job man, I love seeing what you do. You did a real good job on this one. Have a great day, my friend.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
thanks man!
You're very welcome anytime.
I see the original babbit pounder was swapped out for a high pressure version. I also think the floor shift manual transmission is a nice touch!
i do believe in 53 a 235 was optional but i may be wrong on that
Nice work Ryan and nice truck
thanks John
Another one saved good job 👍
thanks for watching!
This. Body style. I love. Thanks
same!
Not enough battery,you need a ton of battery to get the ol girl started, thanks, I have a1950 area GMC with6 cylinder 4 speed dump truck, I think all distributor turns Clock wise , as isee this one is turning Clock wise, thanks BigAl California
The new points have a coating on them you need to clean off
I wiped them down, ill try it again, maybe a light sanding
The points on a 235 should be set at .017 gap.
Nice old truck I’d drop an LS in it restore the body redo the interior lower the stance and drive it
Don't trash talk Mortske.
Relax were friends lol its all in good fun
Weren't they positive ground.
I dont believe chevy ever did positive ground. Other gm brands but dont think chevy was included in that
I would put new gas lines on the carburetor let fuel pump pump on the engine pump old gas out of the tank of the truck let truck do the work
and a carb rebuild :D
