Jason ... Brother ! Dual postings in one day. You been busy. 59 El Camino's have always been my fav but that one is ruff. Your right starting on mechanical stuff first but I'm not sure that frame is savable. You need to get the rust off to see how bad it is. You really need to unbolt the body lift it some and roll the frame out once you get a rear axle in it. As far as a rear axle you should be able to find a 12 bolt in the proper width at a boneyard for less then rebuilding that 10 bolt one. Then you can powder blast that frame outside and give it a coat of Eastwood Encapsulator and paint. You learned a valuable lesson, "Don't order sh*t till you see exactly what you need. Budgets are time dependant. It's better to do it right then to do it fast. Unless it's just a Flipper Car which I don't think it is. Oh, and I wouldn't get that flame too close to the stuff the barber put in your beard and hair either ! 🔥🥵🔥 Man you chose an expensive project. Think "Go Fund Me" I'll be watching man. Good Luck & Cheers ! 🍺🤛😎👍
Hey Thanks Man! Definitely been busy...lol. I think I found another center section! I really want to keep this one but it might be a flipper. Depends on where I am financially in a few months. God Bless and Cheers! 🍻 ✌🏻
Man, I don't think that rear center section is even worth wasting any Kroil on. Good luck on finding one within your budget- they are out there. What a car!❤
Thanks! I think I found one!
Happy mother's Day to your wife
Thanks!
Hi Jason,
Glad to see you and the 59 again.
Thanks! More to come!
I’m glad you’re back on CZcams again miss seeing all your videos hopefully that rear end section for your El Camino you’ll be able to find one of the swap meet big super fan tell the family I said hello
Thank You! I think I found another one! Another video coming soon!
Fook yeah! Something to watch when I get home from work. Thank you, good Sir
Heck Yeah!
Too bad about the center chunk. Hopefully you can find a good one cheap. Looking forward to the next one.
When you pulled the first axle out you knew there was gonna be carnage. Cannot see that centre section being revived. Good luck finding either an entire rear end, if not the rusted components. Gonna be a cool project. Look forward to seeing more. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks Brian! I think have a replacement!
great to see you back God Bless & keep up the work.
Thank You! God Bless!
My suggestion to you to de-rust that axle so you can take it apart is use automatic tranny fluid and acetone and a 50/50 blend mix spray it down really good that is what I use and it works great to eat through rust
Awesome Thanks!
I hung in there from start to finish, it was an excellent vid, even after being off for moment! Thanks! 💯
Thank You! I appreciate that!
Good to see you back .sorry for your loss .glad to see you back to work
Thank You
Good to see you back
Thank You!
Glad to have you back. Good luck with the El Camino. ✌
Thank You!
Nice to see you back at it! And putting your new little shop to good use! I reckon put some cardboard or old carpet down on that gravel floor so laying down is more comfy haha!
Hey Thanks!
Jason, Glad to see ya back on the Elky!

Thank You! I really appreciate that! God Bless!
Glad to see you're back in the groove Jason! Loving this 59 Camino!
More to come!
Alright ✌️
We’ll be here when you’re ready !!!
Thanks!
We had a 59 Chevy Kingswood station wagon. It was a tank. Had the the rear facing rear seats.
Love 59s
Jason 23:11 you might be able to use a tap and dye set to rethread the bolt shaft on the shock mount to the next size down and use a smaller nut. once you get it out as its not on the shock side as it just holds it in place.
Or you just MiG weld it when you put it back on to the bracket.
I just ordered some repops!
@@CountryBoyGasGarage Excellent👍👍👍
Man that's a nice looking Ute ,( truck) could be great, hope it's chassis can be repaired or replaced, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Hey Thanks!
My under bed pan is rusted like that too. I left it open and just fixed the cab floor. I figured if the meral isnt there it cant rust.
Soak the 3rd member and the rear ended housing in vinegar mixed with salt. Fill or submerge parts in this stuff and let it sit for a week or so. White vinegar is not expensive and works wonders
Good luck!
Thanks!
If it was me you should get it sandblasted to get rid of all surface rust as well as remove the fuel tank.😁😁You got a big job on your hands welcome back.
Thank You!
@@CountryBoyGasGarage Your welcome 😎😎
I would use a sand blaster on the entire bottom of the car. Then use the grinder on it.
try soaking that center section over night in vinegar you might be able to save it if not then you havent lost anything
Excellent video!!
It’s not finished yet! 🤣😂
Thank you very much!
Hallo Jason . Whery good . Greetings from Germany
Hey, thanks!
bro I like your content we need to see more of you
More to come!
Thought comes to me contact Mr. Chevrolet - yea good challenge, leaving the housing in the car the axels would make it a roller until you source a good 3rd member - will be praying for part to come your way. Remember to keep your gearing ratio the same as you 3 speed standard. God Speed with getting this up and running - look forward to your reveals on this revival.
Hey Thanks Jim! I think I found a usable center section but i don’t know the gear ratio...
@@CountryBoyGasGarage if you have the vin you can decode through that and the rear may have had a tag on it that has codes or the actual gearing.
Count the ring gear teeth and the pinion great divide of the number will reveal the gearing too.
Jason you might be able to find another rear axel of a different model car from the same manufacture that might fit but you might have to modafy the drive shaft to fit it good luck.
I think I found a replacement!
@@CountryBoyGasGarage I hope you got one for a good price 😁😁
Hit up the one on Green Hill. They used to have lots of third members.
I used to go there all the time. Haven't been there in years
New owners. It's not the same. I bet you can get all new gears bearings and whatever else you need but s used 3rd member would be easier.
@@paulaagaard7641 I think I found one!
Report a salvage yards close up you should have bought another rear end
I just found something on marketplace!
Lots of rust is good, gives it petina and helps with weight reduction !!!
@@homeandtravel7235 Totally...lol
I can build that shock mount up with weld and retap it if you want.
Hey Thanks! I Just received replacements!
the best penetrating fluid is Diesel put it in a spray bottle save buying the cans all the time save your money bro
Thanks!
Try a scrap yard for a replacement rear axle
I would love to but all the classic car yards have closed around here.
Air you need air!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
Yes I do!
Looks like this one didn’t have any oil in it and then it got submerged underwater. There is a guy in Iowa that deals with these cars and has a channel here; maybe he can be a good contact and source.
Yes! Iowa Classic Cars!
westport wa.state here sir.
✌🏻
that single torque arm, tearing lose is a common failure, The 65 Chev was the same way. owned two,
the car being under water, it is a safe bet the diff has water in it. In fact, if the car ever pulled a boat,
it's a sure bet the diff has water in it. by the sounds of it,
who ever drove it just abused it as long as it would take it.
Check the frame for cracks.
I would be looking for a up grade for the rear end. if that diff is froze up.
I would focused on the engine, nix that rear end for now, pull the heads, looking it over top and bottom.
before putting that engine in that car. The car sat around for years, so it wont make a difference if it sits a little longer.
Do you know the LORD.
Blessings to you and yours.
Hey Thanks! I believe I found a replacement rear-end! God Bless!
I will classic cars might have a Reinosa might’ve got one
I watch Ryan but I think I already found one!
Soak it in water and vinegar.
That was the plan, but I think I found another one
Are you sure the driver side wasn't left-handed thread
🤔
@@CountryBoyGasGarageI thought of that but have my doubts. Best to heat it red hot a few times then let it cool to grey before you start turning.
how do you do the paperwork's of these cars?
This one was left on land that the previous owners family still owned so they were able to title it and transfer it to me.
Favorite channel back in action 🎉
Hey Thanks!
12:36 Mmmmmm😋
😆 👍
yikes
😲
Daaaaaaang, Probably the worst one I've ever seen!
Any worse and it'd just be a parts car...lol! Hey Thanks for watching!
Good luck!
Thanks
