- Alright! Here’s your part two video, let’s hear it run and see it move! Overall I’m thoroughly impressed with how well this truck is doing. I think once cleaned up with the Right set of wheels she will find her new home easily ! Thank you all for watching!

Don't tear it apart! 350s are everywhere. Leave this one intact. Sweet runner!
This was one of your best videos, I love this type of truck as well.
It's quiet Jay because you’re used to everything having an exhaust leak.

These are good trucks. My dad had a '78 Chevy Silverado new and kept it for years. Had the 350 V8. It could pass everything but a gas station!
Love the Square bodies! Prefect project truck.....
That, there, is a good looking, good running, truck!
Fantastic!
It really turned out halfway decent
my mom an I had 2 of those 1984 with the 350 in both of them shee loved those.
It's cool, glad you saved it.
Sierras have heart!
That things runs better then some of the newer junk they build now.
Jason S it had been sitting for a little while, not very long though, however I was still surprised it fired to life as of parked yesterday!
In this old car, everything can be repaired, because it is simple.
@@michals547 That's why they don't build em like this anymore, gets rid of the back yard mechanic...pricks...
That's a keeper Jay. A little elbow grease and a good fluids change and its road ready. Don't scrap it just drive it.If you was here in SW Missouri I would give you a good 350 Vortec for the 66 C-10. Just so that GMC wouldn't be touched.
Nice truck! Really runs good! It’s a keeper for sure!
Nice truck. Love em old C/K's.😊
A nice and simple truck from an era when GM was building solid, decent trucks. Looks to be a very simple 1/2 ton equipped with the ubiquitous Chevy 350 small block in its original blue paint (I believe Chevy engines were originally painted orange up until and including 1976 as the last model year) backed by what I guess would be the turbo hydromatic 350 three speed automatic with A/C delete.EDIT: Amazing video quality. I had just watched part of the video when I posted this. But now watching the end of the video, I could the infamous "Chevy whine" as I used to call it, when you accelerated from a stop near the end of the video. That whine sound from the transmission was very distinct, and one I was very familiar with from childhood growing up, and by hearing (without seeing) I knew would coming from a GM vehicle equipped with that transmission.
Sweet truck DO NOT tear it apart. Somebody will buy that and love on it.
Save it! They are going up in value quick.
That’s one hell of a solid, good-running truck. You should see if Granger Smith (Earl Dibbles) would be interested in buying since he’s already in the middle of restoring a 1974 GMC truck with a straight 6 and a 3 on the tree. This truck would look great parked next to the ‘74.
Nice and ya she's going to be a good vehicle
Wish I could buy that off ya these models are getting rare especially in good running condition
Fuel gauge: Full.....no, empty.....no wait, Half. 3/4!!! 😁 Not bad, even a one wheel peel!! 👍
Save it, But for rust issues, those were great trucks. I drove a ‘76 K5 Blazer in high school, I still miss that rig.
One happy 350 😊👍
Sharp truck love it
A lot of people are saying paint it. DON'T paint it. Leave it the way it is. It has character. Anybody can have a nice shinny truck. An original truck has character.
There's just something about watching an old truck come back to life that just gets to ya. Always.
oh hell yeah, sing for us...please I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle
Nice i had one like that
Bit of body work and some paint and, fix the other minor gremlins and she'll be ready for another 20 years. She's got excellent bones!
a bit 'o mouldin, a spot 'o trim, she'll be lookin grand :)
Man love the old trucks where you can climb up there in the engine and just work ..
And you don't have a computer and all it's associated problems to deal with. I wish the auto mfg. had computers stuck where the sun does not shine. Along with plastic.
LMC truck is going to love this one.
Oh cool, this truck's original color was Burgundy like my 1977 Sierra Grande 25 was before it was painted Black; I crashed mine in 2011 unfortunately...
My dad had a '78. Same color and everything. The only difference was that his was lifted and had larger tires.
I would swap out the gauge cluster for one that actually has gauge's instead of dummy lights i think the camper special's had the full gauges along with the factory tach also the turn signal indicator on means you have a bulb burnt out in either the front or the back turn signal on the left side.
Yes, has some cosmetic issues, but there are some electrical gremlins that need addressed.
Drive it!
You gotta put a set of glass packs on it
Hold on. Theres a storm brewin in Fla, gonna head up the coast. I gotta hurry and mow my grass!!
Not a bad truck if i wasn't over 2k miles away i would buy it..
oh hell yeah
that's the deal
It'd be a shame to tear that apart, some body work, some paint & a few minor minor other things & it'd be good as new.
oh hell yes
It's too good to be a parts truck. I like it.
I know it would be a cost but the original color is so much better. Nice find!
I would put a Holly fuel injected carb replacement that's self learning, with the lcd contol, I for got the name of it, but u guys know .
Solid old truck
God bless you all peace stay safe and stay well im from morocco have a good day brother 🕇💖💝🌷⚘
my dad have a 1976 gmc sierra
Cool, fix the radio, and enjoy driving it 😀 I know I would.
i like it. runs and shifts smooth. surprisingly quiet running 350
It's good $1200 truck for any car or truck enthusiast
Show that GMC some love, she's still road Worthy!!!
What a score! Nice!
Jay: POSTS
People: GOES STRAIGHT TO COMMENTS
SOUL_ REAPER GAMING 43 they comment first then go watch the video lol. As long as their enjoying it
True 👌👌👌
well, duh...
Brother this is the second car I done got off to you the other one was that white 88 Lincoln Town Car
Little spit n polish she’s gonna be a star
It’s fun to watch this. Thank you.
Thank god you didn't do that the round eye squarebodys are the best trucks ever!! Love Chevy but hate those 60s one!
That thing started way too easily for a 78. I can’t believe it’s that quiet, especially for the kind of truck it is.
Yeah keep that 78 intact. those 350 motors are a dime a dozen and you can find one for cheap already tore out for you. save a decent truck and get a 350 already pulled out for you, so its a win-win.
We decided to keep the truck as it is! Going to make it into a nice shop truck with the decals on the side, it runs and drives excellent and we couldnt tear that thing apart.
Yeah Gm 292 a better engine a Gm 350 is just a fuel pig no pulling power ford 300 engine just as good, if I wanted new truck today I would go Toyota Toyota Toyota all the way today the newer Gm ford dodge trucks all 100% pure junk if you must buy the new American made junk wait till someone goes belly up buy 90% cheaper at auction.
The turn signal indicator is stuck on because its corresponding bulb is burned out.
EVERYBODY needs escalade seats etc
It's got the ridiculous aftermarket grille that every Tom, Dick, and Harry put on the square body Chev's in the 1980's...
Year my grandpa's 1980 Chevy had that chrome grill.
@@richardunicorn7879 I'm wondering what the part number was in the JC Whitney catalog 🤣
I am as old as that truck! (was born in 1978). Unfortunately, the new Chevy trucks aren't built as well as older ones as GM gotten cheap doing cost-cutting. It used to be the battle - which trucks last longer Chevy or Ford?
Beautiful nice find
Your lucky to have truck like her u can tell she ready to rock myfriend
Hey Jay...you still have that nice little Ford Ranger?
Sweet old truck. Glad you decided not to pull the motor in the end.
My dad had one of these back in '79, but was early 70's rust bucket.
I’m not sure why there would even be a thought of taking the Drive train out of the 79 to put in the 64. The 64 looks rusty, no hood and looks like garbage.
Hi I am from Algeria and I have the same car and
Definitely keep that thing together. It runs great for it’s age. I’d love to have that to fix up!
What happend to the 79 chevy you did a video on? Last time I seen it it was in the field with the tires off!!?
Good truck
fix the radio!! those are very rare in square body trucks nowadays, and people ask for a ridiculous amount on eBay.
Great truck sounds sweet. They don’t make them like that anymore. They are not built to last now days. You found a treasure.
What is going on with the black beamer
Jay keep this one in one place.
Replacement for the dirty dodge huh Jay? Put a locked diff to spin both rear wheels.
Use an old Corvette for the donor
one wheel peel nice
That old girl well out run a new gmc or a new Chevy any day of the week I say gotta love those old trucks there's no recalls or aluminum drive shafts on those old girl's
Yea man I had a 92 K1500 GMC it had almost 500k on it running like new still i have to say the C/K series GM trucks were probably the last best trucks you could buy after that is when they slowly started going down hill I also had a 96 S10 Blazer that thing had 543k on it running good as well
Really cool truck, should definitely sell as is as a rolling project for someone, maybe if possible at least tack weld the door skin and sort the lights out, but it's a good to go rolling project for sure, looks good in that colour too.
Beautiful
Probably carmine red originally. What a weird decision to repaint it brown
Yeah that's a really nice truck and I was wondering if you were still working at the scrapyard to
Can’t wait to see what you guys do to it
Hello Jay Smart I am watching this video in Elmira NY where I live. That over 40 year old truck runs nice I hope you do a factory restoration
Led bulbs?
Are you not working in the junk care anymore? Or are you just closed because of the Corona?
Heavy Chevy 😍👌💪
Good old Chevy
That was a cool suburban
Hey did yall ever find the evil snake
Awesome truck
Dont! Kill! It! Please! She wants to live!
That's definitely far too good a truck to pull apart as a donor for another, especially with how popular those square bodies are getting...
other than the mirrors and the door skin i'd drive that truck as is...also put the stock grill back in.
New job jay
me and bobby mcgee dl will play
